Close ob.eryer. of Nntur..

The most successful beast tanners are generally small, wiry fellows, with plen- ty of nerve and good stock of trade SC crets, derived from the close study of wild animals In the latter respect saw ages, with their outdoor mode of life have Q considerable advantage oyer their civilized rivals. fin the Chilean Andes the naturalist Tschudi made the ac- qusintance of a creole farmer who con. fessed that he had experimented for sey- eral years before he succeeded in cap. turing a live alpaca.
 He had initiated the traps of the Tn. dians, their method of fixing them in the sand of the river banks, their pre- caution in obliterating the traces of their footsteps, but all in vain till an Indian renegade revealed the secret-uamely, that the alpacas select their drinking places where there is an audible ripple in the current of the river, perhaps for the same reason that cows prefer a brook to pond and running spring to a sluggish creek.
 The nurmuring of the stream seemed to suggest the idea of purer and cooler water, and where the current was slow the Indians contrived to produce a ripple by an artificial obstruction.-Sa Fran. cisco Chronicle.

A Crooked Railway.

There are few more interesting en, gineering achievements than the little narrow gauge railroad running to Cara cas, the capital Of Venezuela, from its seaport, La Guayra. The distance be- tween the two cities, as the crow flies, supposing for the moment that he could fly through the mountains, is only six miles, but the railway connecting them Is twenty-three miles in length, and con, sequently twists and turns on itself. The road runs in zigzag fashion up the mountain to an altitude of about 5.OQ0 feet above its starting point and then de- scends some l,500 feet in the same man. ner into the valley of Caracas.
 Twenty.two thousand rails were used in laying the track, and of theso over 1s,O00 are bent, It is jeStingly said thal the engineer almost died of a broken heart because Ee could invent 10 excuse for bending the remaining 4,000 He did his best, however, and ho one who has to ride over the line and find him self shaken at every one of the 3i6 sharp twists which the track makes will find it in his heart to condemn the poor man for not making a perfect job, Two pas. senger trains pass over the road daily. leaving La Guayra at $50 in the morn ing and at 3:S0 in the afternoon, making the journey in two hours and half. This is a speed, exclusive of stops. of not quite ten miles an hour.-Pearson's Weekly

On the upper Congo the natives give a great deal imagination and labor to the arrangement of their headdress. Some of them, however, ike the Bangala. keep their heads closely shaved, except for little tufts of hair on top and at the sides On the middle Mobangi river the natives also shave their heads.
