Not Altogether Satisfactory.

An Indian doctor claims to have
something to tell about that "botrne
from which no traveller returns" by
personal experience. He was i'll with
typhoid pneumonia and died. As his
eyes closed TO the things OF this world
he discovered that three angels stood
bv his bed, who proceeded to show
him the next world, one leading the
way and the others supporting him on
either side. He was scooted to a
planet, where another squad took
charge OF him and delivered hir. to
another squad further along. At last
he arrived at u houndlcss plain. quite
destitute 0f vegetation, and enormous
iy light, where We're hosts of souls.
among whom he recognized many of
his old acquaintances. Further along
he saw bottomless gulf. in which
myriadS OF sinful souls were hotbiDg
about. Apparently the prospect did
not please him. for he came back bv
the way he had gone, and after an alb
sence of some % hours found his
body prepared for the grave and once
more took up MS abode in it. This
revelation seems little indefinite
but 1t may satisfy some people who
are too incredulous to swallow the
Christian northumberland.

Age in Tree Rings.

1t Is generally assumed that when a
tree is cnt through, the number of
rings Is Il reliable Indication of the AGE
OF the tree. The view is in fact well
supported by abundance of careful Oh
servatlon OF the scientific forests of
Europe; but the law which holds good
for climate with winter sufficiently
cold to arrest development, is found to
be wholly unreliable in tropical or ex-
tra-tropical countries. A most re-
markable instance is described by
Charney in connection with his in
vestlgati0n Of the stone ruins OF Palcn-
que, small Indian village in the state
of Chiapas, Mexico. For convenience
OF access to the so-called palace, Char
ney caused all the surrounding trees
to he fallen, and one of the fallen trees
was found to have 100 rings, which.
being regarded as annual rings. indi-
Gated q great age for the buildings.
This was in 1861. On Charney's re-
turn, % years later Q8S3) he found a
strong second growth, with stems
about ten inches in diameter. Anum-
Der of these were cut down, and Char
nay found, to his establishment, that
some OF them showed as many as go
so-called annual rings. Further inves-
tIgation Of other trees brought out the
fact that in some specimens II new
ring was formed almost every month.
