characterized them during the last
two centuries. The South American
volcanoes frequently ravage their i'm
mediate neighborhood, but it is be-
lieved here is another instance that
they are safety valves that render the
continent habitable.
Reports of unusual volcanic activity
all along the line OF the continental
backbone have been coming in since
the beginning of the year. and those
more recently to hand indicate
steadily increasing disturbance Alarm
ing accounts arrived last week
from Mexico of the condition of
Colima, which, pouring forth vast
volumes of lava and regular bonn
bardment of rocks and ashes, had sent
the people of Jalisco fleeing in terror
from their houses. Only few months
ago dispatches from Chilli and Peru
told of fierce outbursts among the
volcanoes of the southern Andes, and,
later yet, of the seismic disturbance in
the volcanic region of Cauca, in
Colombia, by which an entire mountain
ridge was swallowed up and deep de-
preston left, while elsewhere in that
same region two rivers were buried by
the side of mountain tumbling into
the valley.

Temperature Of swiss Forests.

For twenty years the Swiss govern
ment has been making observations
through its forestry stations on the
temperature of the air, of the trees and
the soil insthe forests. These observa-
tiors show that the temperature in the
forests is always below the tempera-
ture outside The temperature also
varies according tothe trees composing
the forests. A beech forest is always
cooler than forest of larch, AS to
the trunks of the trees, they are
always cooler than the surrounding
air. Regarding the temperature of the
soil, it is found that in the forest the
temperature is invariably below that
of the air. Outside the forest the soil
is always warmer than the air in sum-
mer and colder in winter.

HE WARMED UP.
The Bank President Lost That Chilly
Feeling Very Suddenly.

The Bank President Lost That Chilly
Feeling Very Suddenly.
A well-known contractor walked
into bank in this city the other day
to cash check for forty dollars, says
the Washington Post. The paying teller
looked at the check few minutes,
then counted out four hundred dollars,
and handed it to the contractor, who,
although he noticed the error, said not
word, but rolled up the bills and
wadded them down into his pocket.
This happened in the morning, and
about two o'clock the same afternoon,
before the officials of the bank had an
opportunity to discover the error, the
contractor walked into the Office of the
president of the bank.
"Is this bank responsible for the
errors of its clerks9" he asked the pres
ident.
"If it can be proved that any of our
clerks have erred,p replied the presi-
dent, in a very chilly manner, I'VE will
make the correction"
"Well, nobody saw this error made
but myself, continued the contractor,
'sand my word ought to be sufficient
proof think"
81 am sorry, sir" said the bank pres
ident, "but we shall have to have ad-
ditional proof. We require this in order
to protect ourselves; that is ALL"
Every well, SIR" replied the con-
tractor, rising to leave. 81 am sorry
cannot furnish what you demand. The
error referred to was the payment of
four hundred dollars for check that
called for only forty dollars; but, as
no one saw me receive the extra three
hundred and sixty dollars, suppose
you will not want to correct the mis-
take. Good day, SIR"
"Hold on! Come back!" shouted the
bank president, who by this time was
yery.wide-awake to the abyss to which
he had been led.
The matter was soon adjusted salts
factorily, and now when any person
reports an error at that bank the first
question asked is: ''In whose favor?'

FARMER IMMIGRANTS WANTED.
The Experiment Which an Ohio Capital.
ist VIII Try In Nebraska,

The Experiment Which an Ohio Capital
ist VIII Try in Nebraska.
A plan for securing farmer immi-
grants has just been put in operation
in Nebraska by a wealthy Ohio manu-
facturer, and it is the understanding
of the South that Gov Northen, of
Georgia, advocates a similar expert
ment in his state. Some time ago the
Ohio man purchased 12,OUU acres IN Ne
braslxa. In the center of this tract 100
acres are laid off for the village site,
and in the center of this forty acres
for public park. Facing the park
are the school, church or churches,
public halls, stores, shops, etc. The
remainder is cut up into 94O lots
of about half acre each for dwellings,
for the farmers, storekeepers, mechan-
les and others who may seek resi-
dence in the village. After providing
for the village the rest of the 10000
acres is divided into 150 farms of about
eighty acres each, with roads SO laid
out as to give each farmer an open
highway to the village, It's proposed
to sell these farms on time, giving
ample time to the purchasers to pay
for them, and to assist in the building
of the village by helping to build the
schoolhouses, churches and such other
public buildings as may be desired. If
this idea is carried out, there will be
o village with 150 families of farmers,
and perhaps fifty or more other fam
lilies of storekeepers, mechanics and
others, say o village of 200 families, or
1000 people, which would make con-
siderable place.
Gov. Northen suggests that land
owners form joint stock companies,
purchase central tract for the village,
build church. schoolhouse, store,
have post Office established, and then
let those nearest the village site either
build, or if practicable move their
dwellings, to the village site, thus Civ
ing it start Then subdivide the
large farms into small ones, and invite
settlers to come, purchase and'become
residents of the village.

plain, IS the local euphemism for the
form of slave trading that is carried
on in the present day under the British
and American flags. Some three or
four raids Of this kind appear to have
been made upon the Gilbert islands
within as many years by one American
hdventurer. The natives-men women
and children-are decoyed on board by
specious promises of the blessed pros
pect open to them. They are landed
on the hospitable coast of Guatemala,
and there, after few months of
virtual slavery, the bulk of them speed
ily die-from climatic or other causes.
A Vancouver newspaper states that
out of the last shipload thus trans
ported, not more than thirty per cent.
were alive at the endof the year. The
enterprising mariner who has carried
out the previous raids was reported a
few weeks ago to be fitting out fresh
expedition at San Francisco. The Gill
bert islanders now enjoy the proud
privilege of being British subjects, and
we ought to protect them against this
form of buccaneering.

waltzing Mice.

Lately the employees at the Philadel-
phia geological garden have been
amused by the antics of some queer
little animals which are not on public
exhibition, The newcomers are white
and black Japanese waltzing mice,
seven in number. When let out of
their cages they wink at each other
and step gracefully forward with n
movement which some of the beholders
declare is a bow Head Keeper Man
ley whistles Annie Rooney" and the
mice skip away in pairs with queer
whirling motion. When he strikes up
"The Bowery" they revolve so fast that
nothing can be seen but little gray
balls "Ta-ra-ra-boom-de-aye" causes
them to Swing corners" and dance
''all hands around" Once the owner
ventured to play the Dead March
while they were dancing. With q
whisk of their tails the little rodents
fled to their cages like man pursued
by nightmare.

THE PRILoRIMAGE 70 MECCA.
Wells OF That City Are Among the Prin-
cipai Sources OF Cholera.

cipai Sources OF Cholera.
Apropos of dispatch from Tunis
which says that ont of body of nine
thousand pilgrims who visited Mecca
one-half died of cholera, and thatof the
seven hundred Turkish soldiers sent
after the pilgrims to bury the dead and
help the living Eye hundred perished,
the New York Herald gives some ae-
count of the sacred city and the
sacred professions. II is estimat-
ed that the pilgrims annually
number from fifty to seventy thousand.
They come from all parts of the
Mohammedan world, for every Mos
lem is bound under certain conditions
to pay at least one visit to the holy
city. Mecca, as is well-known, lies
in the heart of a mass of rough
hills, intersected by narrow valleys.
Its regular population is supposed to
be about fifty thousand, but the city
always contains many more persons
for before the pilgrims to one festival
have left those to another begin to ar
rive. The streets are fairly spacious,
but very poorly kept. There is
good supply of pure water, brought
by, an underground conduit, but
this is furnished freely only to
,townspeople, the pilgrims having
to pay for it. AS result the
latter patronize the wells which
are supposed to be principal sources of
cholera. One of these is the well of
Zemzem, which is the holiest place in
the city after the Kaaba, or temple.
According to Mohammedan tradition
3 this well is the source from which Ha-
ger drew water for her son Ishmael.
1t is now inclosed in a massive vaulted
building, paved with marble. The
water is eagerly drank by the pill
grims, poured over the body to give
miraculous refreshment, and carried
away in jars. AS though the water
and the city's filth were not sufficient
cause for cholera, the sacrificial
slaughter of thousands of animals,
whose carcasses are left for the sun to
act upon, complete the work of germ
propagation.
The caravans approaching and leav-
ihB heScd dIc picturesque SlSHUS. Inc
members are full of faith in Allah, and
proud of having attended the great
festival. In the midst of the process
sion guard of honor escorts the pyr-
amidal wooden structure which, under
a gorgeous canopy and borne by
camel, contained on the outward jour
ney the sacred carpet which is left in
the Kaaba, Mecca's holiest of holies.
On the return journey the great caslfet
is empty, but even then it remains an
object of veneration, and a military
guard of honor accompanies it.
