What il supposed to be the only
frostiess belt in the United States lies
between the city Of Los Angeles and
the Pacific Ocean. It traverses the
foothills Of the Cahuenga range and
has an elevation Of between two and
four hundred feet. In breadth ii is
perhaps three miles. The waters Of
the Pacific are visible from it, and the
proximity Of the ocean has, Of course,
something to do with b~anishing frosts.

produces tomatoes, peas, beans, and
other tender vegetables, and there the

Herr Otto Ehlers. the lannon's q

Herr Otto Ehlers, the famous Ger
man traveller, who has spent much of
his time in the Dark Continent, re-
Gently had a long interview in Brussels
with the King of the Belgians regard
ing the tanning of elephants in Africa.
Herr Ehlers proposes to introduce the
Indian method Of capturing elephants
into East Africa, and for this purpose
will take fifteen trained Indian eie-
plants and 200 indian elephant-catch-
ers to that country. The cost of the
experiment is estimated at 300, 900
marks, or about $75, 900, which will
be furnished chiefly by German rulers
and capitalists. The King of the
Belgians will contribute q part Of the
sum, it is said, as he is greatly inter-
ested in the plan. The German EN-
peror also favors Herr Ehlers's scheme,
and hopes that it will prove of great
advantage, indirectly, to Germany.

A Discovery in the CrTmea,

An Odessa engineer, by name
Melhukoff, has lately made q remark
able discovery in the Crimea, in the
shape of an immense ancient canal,
which the discoverer accounts as
of the wonders of the world. The
length Of this work is nine kilometres,
depth ten metres, and breadth about
five metres. It passes alongside the
present town of Perekope, and near
the ancient Greek town of Neapolis.
Both Pliny and Strabo write of this
great canal. In Theodosia the gigantic
head belonging to q statue of Her.
cules has also lately been discovered.
There is little doubt that the Crimea
and the Caucasus contain many undis-
covered archaeological treasures.

The First One.

A woman got into a suburban car
the other afternoon, says a writer in
the Philadelphia Record. She was
carrying a sweet-faced baby, which
was not more than six months old.
The car was detained at the corner
where the woman got on, and she
shifted round nervously in her seat
for a moment and then began to toss
the baby about. Here is a true de.
scription Of what she did with that
child while the car was going $50
yards: Held it upright on one knee
for thirty seconds; then shifted it to
the other knee. Pulled it up against
her and Rugged it twice. Tossed it on
her left shoulder and then shifted il
to her right shoulder. Held it up te
the window and then stood it up on
her lap. Made a cradle out of he1
arms and jumped it up and down six
times. Placed it on her left knee,
then put it ON her right knee. Laid it
on its stomach in her lap. Huggedit
to her bosom and patted it seven
times. Held it up to the window
again, then pulled it yer to her left
shoulder, shifted it to her right shout
der, and wound up by dumping it into
her lap. Tossed it into the air a dozen
times and huggedi it four or five times.
Laid it on It's back in her lap and then
turned it SO a to lay on its stomach.
Patted it for a minute and hummed
"Hush-a-bye, Baby" though the
child wasn't making a sound. Put it
on her knee and joggled her knee up
and down, shook it in front of her,
holding it out at arms length, and
then Rugged it ecstatically three
times. Held it up to the window for
the third time, and then, when the
conductor came after her fare, laid it
in a lump on the seat beside her. Pat
ted it some nor ioggled it some
more, tossed it some more, and
Topped it down on its stomach again.
Held it out at arms length, and gazed
at it rapturously. Talked gibberish
to it, and Rugged it some more. All
this while the car was going $50 yards.
But then, it washer first.

1t appears, according to the regis,
tration report Of Massachusetts,, that
nearly twice as many women as men
in that State live to be over eighty
years of age. This is accounted for,
explains the Chicago Herald, by the
greater exposure of men to accidents,
to weather agencies, to the constant
strain of business life, to the anxiety
of providing for the family, all of
which tend to shorten the life of men.
The deaths by accident among men are
more than three-fold greater than
among women and men commit suicide
in about a three-fold ratio as compared
with women. G

Among the IS, 0O0,O 900 people in the
United States, the Chicago Herald
thinks there are probably not 500 out
side Of the locality who are aware that
at the mouth Of the Mississippi there
is q little village built upon wooden
piles standing far out into the water.
This village, which is called Balize,
is reached from the mainland by
canoes or boats, and it's inhabitants
have to climb a kind of pole ladder to
get to the doorways Of their homes.
This is probably the only place in the
United States in which "pile dwell

noco and the Amazon, similar villages
are frequently met with. many of them
inhabited by the Indian fishing tribes

When the busy day is done
And my weary little enc
Roeketh gently to and fro;
When the night-winds softly blow
And the crickets In the glen
Chirp and chirp and chirp again;
When upon the haunted green
Fairies dance around their queen
Then from yonder misty skies
Cometh Lady Button-Eyes.
Through the murk and mist and gloam
To our quiet, cosy home,
Where to singing. sweet and low,
Rocks a cradle to and fro
Where the clocks dull monotone
Telleth Of the day that's done,
Where the moonbeams hover DER
Playthings sleeping On the floor
Where my weary wee one lies
Co1neth Lady ~Button-Eyes.
Cometh like a fieeting ghost
From some distant eerie coasts
Never football can you hear =
AS that spirit fareth near
Never whisper, never word
From that shadow-queen is heard.
In ethereal raiment digit,
From the realm of fay and sprite
In the depth of yonder skies
Cometh Lady Button-Eyes.
Layeth she her hands upon
My dear weary little one,
And those white hands, overspread
Like a veil the curly head,
Seem to fondle and caress
Every little silken tress,
Then she smooths the eyelids down
Over those two eyes of brown
In such soothing, tender wise
Cometh Lady Button-Eyes.
Dearest, feel upon your brow
That earessing magic now;
For the crickets in the glen
Chirp and chirp and chirp again.
While upon the haunted green
Fairies dance around their queen,
And moonbeams hover DER
Playthings sleeping on the floor
Hush, my sweet from yonder skies
Cometh Lady Button-Eyes!
