A WRITER in the Christian Regi

A WRITER in the Christian Regis
ter says that the great Witwatersrand
reef in Africa, from which the bulk
of the gold is extracted, is III miles
long, and that the ore is richer at a
depth of 200 feet than at the sur
face. The expectation is that when
a depth of 800 to 100 feet is
reached the deposits Of the precious
metal will be found to be on a nearly
level plane. The gold claims are
grouped together in lots of twenty or
more and worked by companies.
johannesburg, a city OF 40, 900 Euro
pean inhabitants, has spung up there
as il by magic. 1t has its churches,
theaters, club.houses, schools, libra
ries, and stock exchange which, in
architectural beauty, will compare
favorably with anything in New
York City. This would seem to be
only beginning. Gold mining in
that region is in its infancy, and un-
doubtedly the operations now being
extended will ere long aid enormously
to the present annual production Of
gold, that for the whole world being
estimated for last year at not less
than $50 millions. 1t begins to look
as il the longer the silver men stand
in their own light by insisting on
their product being rated at more
than double its actual value the more
will they reduce their chances OF OBJ
tanning the desired recognition for
the white metal on any terms 1t
will take but few years more at the
present rate OF increase in the pro-
duction to give the world all the gold
that profitably can be used for money,
except for subsidiary purposes.

THE production of wheat In Ar
gentina is increasing at rate that
astonishes the statisticians. The
area seeded to the grain has more
than doubled in the last three years,
the collapse of the speculative boom
having wonderfully stimulated agri,
culture. The area sowp to wheat
last year was 6,10O, 900 acres, against
$500, 900 in 1890 and only 400, 900 in
1880. An exchange tells of one farm
in the province of Buenos Ayres on
which $4,000 acres Of wheat were
grown last year. This is more than
double the area Of the celebrated
Dilrymple farm in North Dakota,
and it is being cultivated by an Ital-
ian who went there as an assisted
emigrant. Some Of the English trade
papers have referred to the increas-
ing competition Of Argentine wheat
as one Of the causes of the very low
prices now being paid for our grain
on the eastern side OF the Atlantic,
and anticipate much bigger COM
petition in the near future. They
seem to think that this and other
sources of supply may be counted on
as assuring very cheap bread to the
toilers in the United Kingdom for all
time to come.

A Wonderful Cliff.

Jeffrey's Cliff, located four miles east
of Hawesville, is natural curiosity
and wonder. 1t consists of huge
cliff from 200 to 400 feet high all
around, and looks as il Providence
had set huge boulder down on the
face of the earth. There is soil on
the top of it from ten to thirty feet
deep, and before it was partially
cleared off a heavy growth of timber
adorned it. There is probably more
than hundred acres of good land on
top of it. Nature left no way for a
man with modern vehicle to go up it,
but at an expense of hundreds
of dollars wagon-way has been
cut through the solid rock and
the dirt graded up to meet it.
In two other places footpaths have
been provided for the lone trav-
eler.
On this wonderful natural produce
ton the towns of Cloverport, Camel
ton, Hawesville and probably others
can be plainly seen, as well as large
scope of surrounding country. Cattle
in the bottom look like mere midgets,
and ones head swims with the dizzi-
ness of the height when buzzards,
which make the cliff their roosting
place, sail half way down the sides
of salt Peter Cave" and other
points of interest make up it's pecu-
liar wonders. There is an aperture
in the cliff on one side, about foot
wide, that sends out the year round a
cold breeze. The warmest, sultriest
day that can be imagined in August,
this constant flow Of cold air greets
the sightseer. 1t sits in the middle
of the upper bottom, and the Ohio
river curves more than half way
round it at a distance of mile and a
half away. Truly this is a home

REV. THOMAS DIXON, JR., IS a New
York clergyman who has evidently
been west of Buffalo. At all events
he has clearly defined idea Of the
greatness and the resources of the
West. He realizes that the narrow
ness and the dissatisfaction Of the
East are a menace to the nation.
Speaking on this theme Sunday night
he said: "We of the East do not un-
derstand the West. Our ideas of
that section and its people are crude
and puerile beyond understanding.
Kansas and Iowa are as much ahead
of New York in average intelligence
as the slums of this city are beneath
the jewellers In the green fields Of
New England. The East is manifest
ly unfair to the West in everything
that emanates from that section. We
are narrow-minded and provincial.
We have failed to meet the questions
of the day with the same broad view
that has been shown by the West.

Flying Machines.

BENJAMIN Franklin used to com.
pare the balloon of his day to a child
who would presently come to mans
estate. He thought the aerostation
was in embryo, and it due time would
do marvellous things. But his aspira-
tions, one may now say, were too
sanguine.
Our aerial achievements are still
literally in the air." the flights OF
our best aeronauts are involuntary.
They are " blown about with every
wind 1t is true that the parachute
has been brought to considerable per-
lection, but that is not flying. but
falling. 1t is something to be able
to fall softly from great height. but
it is not much. 1t hardly seems
worth while to go ups so far in order
to come down again.
This reflection applies to the very
latest improvements in the science.
The winged man of Steglitz has, we
are told, " accomplished journey of
$50 yards" bnt this merely means
that, starting from tower he has
built for the purpose with spring
board, or from steep hill, he has
flown down that distance.
AS for the aerial machines of vari-
Gus kinds that are to revolutionize
warfare by dropping dynamite
over cities and armies, they may be
marvels of mechanical science, but
they have never yet risen to the oc-
casion," or even risen Mt all. Even

derstand, "never left the rails,
