AN UNPLEASANT COUNTRY.
Some of the Objections to Living in Mort


Some of the Objections to Living in North
ern Borne0.
The northern half of the island of
3orneo is the queerest and most I'M
satisfactory place to live that one can
imagine, thinks the St. Louis Globe
Democrat. 1t is land of constant re-
curing phenomena, where cyclones
are frequent and deluges of water very
common. The vegetation in that half
is very fine, but in all probability the
widest and most tangled on earth
not even excepting that of Africa. The
cause of all the trouble is the shallow
condition of the sea north of it, great
shoals of sand existing few miles out
which extend along it's entire northern
length. These shoals are covered by
depth Of water not over five feet deep.
The constantly recurring winds that
blow in that climate change to hurri-
canes and sweep the smaller islands of
all visible life. When such a storm
strikes the sand shoals north of Bor
neo it sweeps up the shallow salt water
in its course and drenches the island
with it. Often it gathers up sand,
great masses of it, from the clear
swept shoal and whirls it for miles
high over the island, carrying it into
the island and scattering it every
where. The work of these storms does
not always end with that. Entire
shoals of fish, of all sizes, have been
swept up time and again by the fierce
wind with the water and sand and
scattered about Borneo. In some places
the ground would be literally covered
with fish, enough to supply heavy
is no reparation for the evil the winds
do, and consequently the northern half
will never be inhabited by those who
value their lives.

ON THE SALTED SEAS.

ONE THOUSAND ships annually cross
the Atlantic ocean.
In England's merchant marine serv-
ice there are 5000 Scandinavians.
THE steamers between Europe and
North America carry on an average
about 10000 passengers month.
THE Mediterranean has been COM
monty supposed to be a sea without
tides; but, as matter of fact, at Ven
ice there is tide in the spring of from
one to two feet.
LLoYD's report is of special interest
to Americans this year, as it shows
that there is no nation which has made
so rapid an increase in the tonnage of
steamers registered during the past
twelve months as the United States.
LLoYD's REGISTER says that in the fif-
teen years ending 1880, 1,4O3 ships were
missing and never again heard of; 2, 1853
were sunk by collision; 1908 were
burned; 1882 were stranded; S,O26
were water-logged or otherwise lost-a
total loss in fifteen years of 80, 5S7 YES
sells, or over 1000 year.
THE largest tree is in California, Tu-
lare county. 1t is 275 feet high and LOG

The largest stone bridge is at Taga-

German Soldiers Who Bedecl Themselves
with Finery.
Referring to the recent order of the
German emperor with regard to the
dandyfied Irregularities which had be-
come common in the German army,
says the London Globe, a correspon-
dent at Berlin calls our attention to
the fact that the kaiser himself is not
altogether free from affectation of this
kind, inasmuch as he himself sets the
fashion of bangle wearing In most
Of the many portraits of the kaiser the
bangle is brought into special promi-
nence by the position of the arm. But
though addicted to the bangle, he new
er condescended to the earring, which
formerly was very commonly worn
among his officers.
In the time of Frederick William IL,
when the German army was resting on
the laurels of the great Frederick, dan
dies fourished in great numbers among
the officers, in spite of severe official
condemnations of foppery. The mon
strosities and extravagances differed
but slightly from those of to-day
sharp-pointed toes, ridiculously high
collars and short overcoats without
seams Latter-day exquisites have also
adopted the plan of crowding on the
finger as many rings as possible-he
who can carry the largest number on
the ring fingers and at the same time
bend his finger being considered to
have the bluest blood

A gOY'S PLUCK.
Nine-Year- rod David Captures a Thirty
Two Pound Carp.

Nine-Year-Old David Captures Thirty
Two Pound Carp.
An exciting combat between a nine
year-old boy and a thirty-two-pound
German carp took place on James
Moore's farm, near Bristol, says the
Philadelphia Record. The Neshaminy
creek in rainy seasons fills the bitches
of adjacent farms with water from
eighteen inches to two feet deep. The
other day David Cherry, the young son
of John Cherry, of this place, and two
small companions went fishing up the
creek. In one of the open bitches on
the Moore farm the lads espied three
huge carp Topping about, the water
being too shallow for them to swim
without greatly disturbing the sur
face. David, pluckier than his play
mates, jumped into the ditch and
seized the largest of the monster fish.
The carp, nearly as big as the boy, had
the advantage, being in its native ele-
ment. Young Cherry had tight hold
of it, but the carp plunged through
the water and mud, dragging the lad
behind. The boys on shore thought
their companion would surely be
drowned, for often his whole body was
under water. At last the fish grew so
weary in his mighty efforts to escape
his captor that he could be thrown out
upon the bank. Then all three boys
jumped upon the carp and held him to
the ground until he had gasped out his
life. They Iugged their trophy home
and put it on the scales. The fish
weighed thirty-two pounds.

Extracting virtue From Refuse.


The great decrease in the price of
paper comes from the discovery that
nearly everything that grows can be
turned into this useful article. Cotton
stalks. tobacco stalks, the stalks Of the
sugar cane, corn husks and sawdust that
used TO cumber the ground are now
made into cigarette wrappers. water
pals, car wheels and even buildings for
temporary purposes. The once despisesl
sawdust can he used in still other ways.
From it can be extracted alcohol. acids
and dyes. The extraction of dyes from
coal tar and the refuse of refined petro
leum has for n dozen years been one o.
the wonders of the chemists art, bul
they are not the only things that are OBJ
tanned from coal. and science is con-
stantly widening the list. The Stag OF
furnaces Is now turned into asbestos,
cement, pottery and friedrich, and when
pulverized becomes a base for paints.
The refuse from wooden mills, which
has contaminated so many streams, has
been found to be valuable for the oil il
contains, and its extraction will not only
profit the inventor, but do away with a
nuisance. Philadelphia Press.
