Recent Investigations Have Established
It's Possibility Without Doubt.
At the midsummer meeting of the
Victoria institute in London Major
General Tulloch, G. B., G. NJ. G., gave
an account of that part of Egypt in
which he lately carried out a British
wal Office survey. The land surveyed
included that portion Of Egypt through
which the route of the exodus was said
to have lain. In describing the present
state of the land he pointed out that
the conformation of the country had
somewhat altered since that period,
3,4OO years ago, but what especially
came under his notice was the action of
q gale of wind, which had stopped all
his survey work OF the borders of Lake
MenZahleh. In a few hours the east
wind actually carried the waters of the
lake beyond the horizon, leaving all
sailing vessels resting ON the bed of the
lake.
An interesting discussion ensued, and
it was pointed out that, wherever the
passage of the Israelites took place, the
possibility of water being influenced by
wind to SO great an extent was demon
strated. As regards the exact spot at
which the crossing took place, General
Tulloch, as a military man, enumerated
the various points to be considered and
the results Of various Investigations. -

lasted "a hours. While in this comatose
condition he is to all appearances life

A PREACHERS CONGRESS.


Great C~oncourse Of Southern Protestants
Convene ut Asheville, N. c.
During the last two weeks Of July
and the first two of August Asheville,
N. c., has been and will be given up to
preachers. This assembly is under the
direction of the American Society OF
Religious Education. The dominant
idea is to enlist all Protestants into an
earnest study of the Bible. Bishop Vim
cent is the wise divine who grasped the
idea that made this sort of religious in
struction possible. He, i'll common with
many others, found the youngsters out
stripping the old folks in knowledge OF
the Bible and theology, and if the older
persons were to be kept within the fold
it was necessary for the church to in
crease their store of knowledge. Hence
the Chautauqua idea started some ten
years ago.
The business men as we'll as the re-
ligious men are, since General Eaton
took command, working with zeal. At
it's worst Asheville is not such a bad
place. This, for some years, has been
the wintering place Of a good many
families from the north, who go for
balsamic air found there in generous
quantities.
Every distinguished clergyman, pro-
fessor of u college or man eminent in
the south is among those invited to be
present and take part in the exercises. -

A QUEER ANIMAL.
The Australian Duckbill Carries o sting
In One Leg.


Australia certainly holds the palm
for queer and uncouth animals. Chief
among these is the ducEbill, or ornitho-
rhynchus, which Sidney Smith described
as "a kind of mole with webbed feet
and the bill Of a duck, which agitated
Sir Joseph Banks and rendered him
miserable from his utter inability to
decide whether it was u bird or a beast
1t was only recently that 1t was proved
beyond a doubt that this curious animal
lays eggs like a bird, though this had
long been reported by travellers. Now
the news that it has a sting on
its hind leg, capable Of killing by its
poisonous effects. We quote from The
Lancet:
For a long time it was considered to
be quite harmless and destitute f any
weapon of o~ffense, although the hind
legs of the males were armed with a
powerful spur, apparently connected
with Il gland. Then the opinion was ad-
vanced that this might be a weapon al
lied to the poisonous armory of snakes,
scorpions and bees, all of which possess
Il sort of hypodermic poison syringe.
Though one set of observers asserted
that this was the case, another set denied
it, and SO DR.. Stuart determined, if pos
sible, to solve this question. He received
TWO independent accounts, which coin
cided perfectly, and from them he 81
cludcs that at certain seasons, at all
| events. the secretion is virulently poi
sonOuS. The mode Of attack is not by
scratching, but by l>teral inward move
ments of the hind legs. Two cases are
reported III dogs. One deg was 'stung'
three times, the symptoms much reSem-
bling those from bee or hornet poison.
The dog was evidently in great pain and
very drowsy. but there We're no tremors,
commissions or staggering. h is worthy
of note that IL certain immunity seems
o%btainable, for the dog suffered less on
the second occasion and still less on the
third. Two cases OF men being wounded
are reported, in both Of which the ami
mails We're irritated, M by being shot
and handled, the other by being handled
only; the symptoms were the same as
in the dog. No deaths are reported in
human beings, but four III dogs. Lit

q day or two ago from England, con-
tanned everything from a pamphlet to

THE collection is a very complete

the writings of Wesley, supporting his
doctrines, and many of the assaults Of
his enemies. His own family collection
has been obtained entire, composed
largely of the literature Of Methodism.
The collection will not have a great
practical value to the institute, but from

Bicycle Path From Chicago to Milwaukee.

Chicago and Milwaukee are to be
united by an elevated bicycle road. A
company has been formed in Chicago
with a capital Of 81 600, 600 to build
the road. The capital stock has all been
subscribed, the plans of the road have
been prepared and the work will begin
as soon as the right of way into the two
cities has been obtained.
The plan is to construct a wooden ele-
waited road, l6 feet wide, on "a nearly
straight line between the two cities, and
to have the terminus in each city as
near the business center as possible. 1t
is to be a toll road, but it is proposed
to make the toll between Chicago and
Milwaukee only 10 cents. Its projectors
predict that it will be pa~trOniZed by
20,00O passengers per week. Chicago
