The Spring on Mount Mitchell.

One of the most singular springs I
ever saw is on the top of Mount
Mitchell. 1t is on the summit and
is clear and cold. It has never been
known to go dry and is seemingly
without bottom, as lines have been
dropped down to a great depth. AS
Mount Mitchell is the highest peak
on the Alleghanies and the nearest
mountain of greater altitude is in
Colorado, about 1900 miles distant,
the query naturally arises as to the
source Of this spring.
The only conclusion is that it is a
siphon spring, but if so the water
flows at least 1900 miles and under
innumerable rivers and streams, IN
der prairies and under mountains,
until it reaches the peak, where it
forces its way through a fssure to
the top. The water is remarkably
clear and pure and shows no trace of
it's having encountered any minerals
during its long journey, although
minerals are found on every side of
the place where it rises to the sur
face. have never heard any salts

The SQUIRREL Monkey.

The red backed teetee, or squirrel
monkey, is by far the most beautiful
in form and color of all the North
American monkeys as well as being
an interesting pet in captivity. The
length of the head and body is about
10 inches, and the tail is about the
same length. In color the whole
skull cap is black. The ears, face,
neck and throat are white. The back
is reddish brown. The sides of the
body, forearms, hands and feet are
ocher yellow, and the arms, thighs
and upper two-thirds Of the tail are
olive and gray. The tail is not pre-
hensile, and the outer third of it is
covered with rather bushy black
hair, longest at the end.

and sprightliness of three. | bought
it of sleepy Indian in South Ameri-

Seeing Distances.

About 200 miles in every direction
is the distance a man can see when
standing on a clear day on the peak
of the highest mountain-say at a
height of 26, 66S feet, or little over
FIVE miles above the level of the sea.
An observer must be at height Of
&, 667 feet above sea level to see OBJ
iects at distance of 100 miles. The
distance in miles at which an object
upon the surface of the earth is 8isi-
BILE is equal to the square root OF II
times the height of the observer in
feet above sea level. Some allow
ance has to be made for the effect of
atmospheric rafraction, but as the re-
fraction varies at different heights
and is affected by the various states
of the weather no precisely accurate
figures for general purposes can be
given. Probably from one fourteenth
to one-tenth of the distance given by
the formula would have to be- educt-

The Ship of the Desert Under Full Sail.

The Ship of the Desert Under Full Sail.
1t was almost a relief to turn from
these fantastic and semijocular trials
of speed and skill to the straightfor-
ward and almost appalling simplicity
of the camel race. No one who has
not seen the "ship of the desert" I'M
der a press of sail, so to speak, can
have any idea of the number of knots
an hour which it can make, while as
to picturing to the imagination the
appearance of fully extended"
camel the feat may be pronounced
impossible. The finish in this race
was magnificent
Three camels few along neck and
neck-and such necks for full a
hundred yards to within a few
lengths Of the post, their ungainly
heads erect, their splay, disjointed
legs opening and shutting at each
stride like dozen jackknives work
ed by machinery and their riders lit
orally waving fore and aft with the
violence of the motion as if a giant
was about to hurl them from a sling.
How they held on nobody could see,
and Allah, the merciful, the compass
sionate, alone knew. Some knelt,
grasping the brute's retorted neck,
some sat or crouched on the saddle
seat, some frankly extended them
selves almost at full length on the
animals mountainous dorsal ridge
and chung to the hump as ship
wrecked sailor to a rock. It was

Universities In America,

In a lecture before students of the
Johns Hopkins university President
Gilman proved pretty conclusively
that Professor Won Hoist was incor-
rect when he stated that there were
no universities in America. There
are universities in this country which
will soon be, if they are not already,
the peers of any in the world. With
liberal endowments many Of them
have been enabled to secure the serv-
ices of the most noted educators, and
their students will rank as high as
those of the older universities of Eu-
rope. In the higher education of
women this country stands today far
in advance of all other lands and has
set the example which other coun-
tries now follow. Baltimore Ameri-
