nearly all of which are on the Atlantic
coast. The most famous lighthouse
of which history gives any record was
the lighthouse of PharoS, on the eastern
end of the island of that name i'll tho
Bay of Alexandria. 1t was begun by
PtOlcmy Softer and is said to have been
400 feet high and to have cost 500 tai
entS. equivalent to $1,240OOO.
The oldest lighthouse in the world is
at Corunna, Spain. 1t was built in the
reign of the Emperor of Trajan, and in
1914 was reconstructed. England and
France have towers erected by their
Roman conquerors, which We're used

the light-towcrs that have been built
for the benefit of commerce we see
that the art Of building has lost nothing
viii the lapse of time. The great inn
prOvement of the later towers over
their predecessors it that the stones
of each course are now dovetailed to-
gcthcr latcrally and vertically. Former
! ly metal or wooden pins were used or
| dependence placed entirely in cement.
The modern method was first used at
the Hanois Rock light on Guernsey.
On the upper face and at each end of
one block are dOvetailcd projections,
and on the under face and at the other
end are dovetailed indcntations. The
upper and under dOvetailS fall into each
other, and when the hydraulic cement
is placed on the surface it so locks the
dOvtailing that the stones cannot be
separated without breaking. So when
the cement is set and hardened the
whole of the base is literally one solid
mass of granite.

CROCIDILES IN WATER.
Some Of Their Peculiar Adaptation to
an Aquatic Life.

London Review: The crocodiles are
thoroughly aquatic in their habits, and
their peculiar conformation enables
them to attack and seize their prey un-
aWareS. Their noStIils, which lead by
a long canal to the back part of their
throats, their eyes and their ears are
placed on the upper part of the head,
so that when in the water they can
breathe, see and hear, while they are
themselves practically invisible. When
they dive their noSuilS and ears are
closed by lids or valves, and their eyes
are covered by a transparent nicutating
membrane. They are further furnished
with an arrangement which prevents
the water from getting down their
own throats when they are holding
large animals under the water to drown
them.
The denution Of these reptiles is pc
culiar; the teeth are sharp and oonical,
and are hollow at the base, and each
tooth serves as the sheath of another,
which Will in time replace it. The
tongue-for, Notwithstanding the ancient
belief, the crocodile does possess a
tongues deshy and is attached to the
bottom of the mouth. And finally the
lower jaw is hinged at the very back
OF the skull, thus giving the animal its
extraordinary cape and also the peculiar
appearance which caused the notion
that it moved its upper jaw.

that some kinds Of weeds only grow
on rich soil, and their presence indi-
Gates fertility, is well understood by
farmers. The common bull thistle cam
not be grown successfully on thin, cold
soil. Possibly it's seed might gerninate
on such land, but it could not amount
to much. Plantain and catnip are weeds
that have similar preference, the latter
especially thriving in the neighborhood
OF old buildings and always when it is
plowed under making a fertile spot.
The common mallows, growing in gar
denS and often great nuisance there,
will OF grow in fields of only ordinary
fertility. o the other hand, mullen and
ragweed grow better on poor soil than
on any other, probably because other
plants run them out if the land is rich.
An English story is told of a blind man
who was very wealthy, and who has
made much Of his money buying and
selling land. Driving one day with his
servant to 4 piece that had been COM
mended highly he asked, Can you find
Il thistle there to hitch the horse to
While | walk abou he land?' No"
was the response, but there is null
leln that will do as WE'LL Drive on"
said the blind man, "a soil that grows

bowels. The wounded man was remoy-

Indications That It's Construction t.
Only a Question Of Time.

In an interesting paper in the EnSi-
neering Magazine G. Adams writes:
while still in the air, it is Gdite GER
tain that something will come Of the re-
cent agitation in France and Algeria in
favor Of Il trans-Saharan railroad as
Il strategic, political, and commercial
necessity. We know that the French
mapped parts Of the world, that they
have built 100 miles of railroad in the
colony, and that Algeria is looking
across the desert to the rich central
and western Soudan as Il source OF
trade, capable Of enormous expansion,
which may be drawn to her marts. The
outline of the plan is to build a narrow
gage road from southern Algeria through
a series of GASES to Timbuktu, and to
connect this point by rail with Senegam
bia on the southwest and on the cas-,
with the fertile regions Of the central
Soudan as far as Lake Tchad. Three
projects for this railroad have beer

RACE OF DWARFS IN MOROCCO.

Food and a Rigorous Climate.

The existence OF n race OF dwarfs

Gates the facts to the London Times.
While travelling along the foot Of the
mountains he saw thirteen or fourteen
persons, none of whom were over four
upper mountain regions The Mo0rs

ing in built houses in the rocks and
snow, hunting moufon with extraOr-
binary agility and given to shoot any
one penetrating to their domains" He

some have asserted, to the fact that
they are the remnants of the troglo-
dyteS, but to the circumstances in which
they live. lie believes them to be ''merc-

lapse Of centuries, become Of almost
extraordinarily sttunted growth" On
his return journey to the coast, Mr..
Harris visited the artificial caves OF
Ain Tarslit, which, from the height OF
the roofs and the size of the doors,
windows and alcoves for beds, were
evidently the work of dwarfs. He does
not venture an opinion, however, as to
whether any descendants of this peo-
pie are still living.

ADJUSTMENTS.

The New York Stock Company closed
their first week at the Clunie Opera-house
last evening. The business throughout
the week is reported to have been highly
satisfactory, better than Mr.. Daley
anticipated, but not larger than the
organization is justified in receiving. as
the company is evenly balanced and con-
ta1nS exceptional merit even in the minor
roles. The success of the troupe prom
ises to continue. Its establishment here
removes complaint of business men,
that there has not been nightly dramatic
entertainment for the accommodation of
their visiting customers. Commencing
tonight the Daley Company will present
the rol1lcklng comedy, summer Board
ers," with cast augmented by
the addition of Miss Mai Wells. The
play is an extravagant picture
OF life in fashionable boarding house,
and introduces number of eccentric
characters seen in everyday life. The COM
plications are numerous and intricate
and the comedy work continuous. Each
member OF the company has a congenial
part, and the performance should, there
fore, be highly enjoyable. A noticeable
thing about the Opera-house entertain
ments is the attendance, gradually IN
creasing, of the old-time critical, We may
say exacting patrons of the drama, a
testimonial to the merit of the perform
ance.

posted indicates that it is show of the

was made from the Minneapolis Tribune,

been quoted condemning it, and one goes
so far as to pronounce some of the feat
ures indecent.

MonsIgnor Capel's Views on the
Subject.
Monsignor I. Capel has the following
in the Western Witness of the 3lst of De-
cember:
Since our last issue the official report of
the minutes of the Archbishops signed by
Bishop Chapelle appears in the Cdthokic
Nel0S of New York. Therein we read:
"Monslgnor Satoll went on to say that
he had been charged, moreover, by Leo
XIII. to inform the Metropolitans that.
as it has been customary with the Holy
See to appoint apostolic delegates to re-
side permanently in countries where the
hierarchy is well established and religion
is tiourishing, whenever not confronted
by too serious difficulties, for the purpose
of eXpediting matters of church govern
ment and as a bond of union between
those countries and the Holy See, it was
the Pope's heartfelt desire that now a
permanent apostolic delegation should DO
established in the United States with the
concurrence of the Most Reverend Arch
bishops.
"Monsignor Satolli withdrew after re-
minding the prelates to give their opin-
ion freely concerning the establishment
of permanent apostolic delegation in
this country.
1.-The question was Immediately taken
up for consideration, and was decided that
the Metropolitans did not feel warranted
in taking any action in so important a
matter until they had taken counsel with
their sutfragans, in view of serious dill
culties connected with the subject The
apostolic delegate was informed accord
ingly. An adjournment was then Or
dered."

cious gift had been offered to the church
in the United States. Tho Pope in the
exercise OF his Office and in the govern
ment OF the church is guided by an intel
lgence more than human. To this has to
pc added in the case of Leo XIII. singu-
!arly exceptional experience and far-see-
ing diplomacy. 1t is his heartfelt desire
that permanent apostolic delegation be
established. Such wish so expressed
Will, the Holy Father knows, be joyfully
ana eagerly complied with. But that the
gllt should be more willingly accepted,
the Metropolitans are invited freely to
give their opinion, so that all NAV be
uone with their concurrence. The most
TeVefent Archbishops in turn wish to
eake counsel in this matter with their
Suifragan Bishops.
Who, knowing the devotion of Catholics
IN the States to the Holy Sea, can doubt
the issue? We venture to predict that our
thirteen Archbishops and the eighty
Bishops will, without dissenting voice,
receive the protfered gift with hearty ac-
clamation.
The Columbian year will indeed go
down 10 posterlty as great in the annals
of the history of the church in the United
states when this keystone Of strength and
unity has been added to our ecclesiastical
organization. The hierarchy divinely
constituted consists of Pope, Bishops,
priests and ministers. But for the better
government of the church and more
eflclent exercise of its jurisdiction, Lee
gates, Cardinals, Patriarchs and Metro
polltans have been called into existence
as the needs of the church demanded.
Our Bishops and priests are in our midst.
Our organization has its Metropolitan
Archblshops, and now we are to have our
Papal Delegate to crown the whole struct-
ure Tor the purpose of expediting mat
tiers of church government and as a bond
of union with the Holy See." By sin
guar providence the consummaticn of
this longed-for boon cannot be interfered
with or be retarded by the Government
OF the country. In hands of the Bishops
and not in the State has the heartfelt de-
sire of the Holy Father been placed,
