un.pads Without stopping.

A New York wood dealer, who
handles many carroes Of cordwood
annually, finding that the time con-
sumed in unloading carts at the yard
amounted to considerable item of
expense, has invented a cart by
which this item is eliminated entire
ly. The cart has horizontal plat
form hung low between q pair OF
wheels on q crank axle. The plat
form is held in place by button
shutting into a slot in the forward
part of the frame OF the cart The
driver backs up to the string piece
on the wharf and his cart is loaded.
Then he drives to the yard and when
he is at the spot whore it is desired
to unload the wood he simply turns
the button and releases the platform
and the platform tips backward, and
thus the cart unloads itself. The
driver never stops at all-he just
keeps right on to the wharf again.
The operation is SO extremely simple
and so obviously economical that 1t
is a delight to the eye Of even the
most casual observer

Nothing Eut Snow Covers tho Peak Where
the Ark Was Moored.
'.Mount Ararat has two tops. few
eastern and western eXtremities, into
rather prominent abutments, ana
separated by snow valley. or de-
preston. from fifty to 100 feet in
depth" Thus, in tho Century
write Mcssrs. Allen and Sachtleb ben,
the two young Americans who made
u bicycle tour round the world.
1.-The eastern top on which we
werc standing. was quite extensive,
and thirty to forty feet lower than
its western neighbour Both tops are
hummocks on the huge dome OF Ara
rat, like the humps on the back OF a
camel, on neither one of which is
there vestige otanything but snow.
''rhcrc remained just as little trace
OF the crosses lot by Parrot and
Chodzko as Of thA ark itself. We
remembered the pPtures we had
seen IN our nursery books, which
represented this mountain-top
covered with green grass, and Noah
stepping out Of the ark, in the bright,
warm sunshine, before the receding
waves; and now we looked around
and saw this very spot covered With
perpetual snow. Morbid we see any
listing crater, except perhaps the
snow-flled depression we have just
mentioned There was nothing
about this perpetual snow-6eld. and
the freezing atmosphere that was
chilling us to the bone. to remind us
that we were on the top of an ey-
tinct volcano that once trembled

..The view from this towering
height was immeasurably extensive.
and almost too grand. All detail
was lost-ali color, all outline; even
the surrounding mountains seemed to
be but excrescent ridges OF the plain.
Then. too, we could catch only oc-
casional -glimpses, as the clouds
shifted to and fro. At one time they
opened up beneath us, and revealed
the Aras valley with its glittering
ribbon of silver at an abysmal depth
below. Now and then we could des-
cry the black volcanic peaks OF Ali
Chez forty miles away to the north
west. and on the southwest the low
mountains that obscure the town of
Bayazil. OF the Caucasus, the noun
tains about Erzerum on the west. and
lake Van on the south, and even Of
the Caspian sea, all of which are
said to be in Ararat's horizon, we
could see absolutely nothing"

your paper allow me TO say few words
Of welcome in behalf of the Iowa
STATE BYsTANDER readers. | do most
sincerely welcome The Iowa STATE By
ISLANDER to the city of Des Moines, the
capital of the grandest state of Repub-
licanism in the Union. / now welcome
THE Iowa STATE BYsTANDER upon the
ground that it has come to stay, and its
future achievements shall be a good
and happy success. The BYsTANDER is
just such paper as the colored race
for many years. THE BYsTANDER is
written and printed in a manner which
makes it socially and politically .abso-
lutely tasteful and interesting all over
the state of grand old Iowa. Now,
while l am sincerely pleased with The
BYsTANDER, there is one feature of the
BYsTANDER which ! cheerfully appre-
ciate higher still, and that feature is,
that the paper is solely edited and
managed by men of the Negro race,
whose ability stands fully and equally
as educated men to that of men of any
race. 1t is indeed very simple for the
Negro race to hold it's own where it
now stands, and thus move on up to a
higher standard. The young colored
men should devote more tiIneto educat-
ing themselves for something that is
good and useful. There are thousands
of young and intelligent colored men
who can scarcely read or write their
names, yet they VIII allow themselves
to fool away their time in idleness on
the streets Well, now, as there are
thousands of young colored men who
ave never given single thought even
to what a good education is. think
