Love For the ZirxaH.

The straight line is an abominatiou
to the Chinese. They endeavor to
avoid it in their streets and buildings
and have banished it completely where
country field paths are concerned.
They will always substitute a curve
whenever possible. or, they will torture
it into zigzag.
In districts not devastated by the Tai
Pings nor subject to the influence Of
the foreigner, the houses and temples
are characterized by curved, often
peaked, roofs. ornamental with fantas-
tic notifications of the myriad stroke
pattern" The inhabitants of such re-
gions are soon found to have a mental
world to correspond. The straight hne
is secuted. They think in curves and
xigxags. To the Chinese mind the
straight line is suggestive of death and
demons. It belongs not to the heaven
above nor to the earth beneath. In a
true horizon line are seen the "undula-
tions Of the dragon. Therefore, argue
the Chinese. the straight line pertains
to hadee.-Contemporary Review.

A special in the New York World
from Fort Dodge, Ia. says: Several hun
drcd acres in Humboldt county. which
this summer raised the biggest hay crop
in Iowa, are burning away to ashes,
the soil itself being consumed by fire to
a depth Of 10 feet. Two years ago the
land was several feet under water and
was known rs Owl lake. 1t was drained
by big ditch and dried up, leaving a
very rich soil. A few days ago. when a
prairie fire swept over it, the soil itself
took FIRE, burning like turf. The fire
eats down to hard clay that will he of
no use for farming purposes. Any num-
Der of interesting fossil remains ere ex-
posed to view where the fire has burned
out.
