with which marriage is frequently regarded
His lOrdShip included among the aCcOmpani-

Prof Peel the ethnologist recently des-

The income OF merely the principal charita-
BILE institutions having their headquarters in
| London amounts to over e.. 100000 per annum
or $50 100000 That represents sum equal to
half the whole capital invest I'd IN the Bank of

! the British colonies together in 1884 and it i-
as much the present total annual revenues
OF all the British colonies, excluding New

singular phenomenon occurs on the borders
of the Red sea at a place called Nakous where
the intermittent underground sounds have
been heard for an unknown number of centu.
! ries, 1t is situated at about half miles dis
lance from the shore whence long reach of
sand ascends rapidly to height Of almost sOJ
| feet This reach is eighty feet wide and re-
sembles an amphitheater, being rallied in by
| low rocks The sounds COMING up from the
ground at this place recur at intervals of about
an hour They at first resemble a low mutmur
but before long there is heard a loud knocking
| somewhat like the strokes of a bell, and which
| at the end OF five minutes. becomes so strong
as to agitate the sand. The explanation of this
curious phenomenon given by the Arabs is
| that there is a convent under the ground and
| these are sounds of the bell which the monks
ring for prayers. SO they call it Nakous
| which means a bell. The Arabs affirm that the
noise so frightens their camels when they hear
| 1t as to render them furious. Scientists al
| tribute the sounds to suppressed volcanic
| action-proba0y TO the bubbhng Of gas or va
pors underground.

her Is distinctly made in Comte Maurice
