President Dern, of the Mercur Gold

yesterday at the camp and made a
final inspection of the new mill in or
der to make sure that everything was
in place and ready for operation when

outlets are to be utilized in the future.

Rain in the Tropics,

The intensity of genuine tropical
rainfall is extraordinary. The rain
appears to come down, not in separate
drops, but in great sheets. In Oar
wins "Voyage of the Beagle, " writing
of a heavy shower, amounting to 1-6
inches in six hours, which occurred
during his stay in the neighborhood
of Rio de Janeiro, the author de-
scribes the sound produced by the
drops falling on the innumerable
leaves of the forest as very remarkable
and says the noise was like the rush
ing of O great body of water and could
be heard at a distance of a quarter of
mile. Dampler gives lively picture
OF the rain at Gorgcnia, off the coast
of Panama, where, he says, when he
and his men were drinking chocolate
In the open air, it rained so heavily
that some of them declared they could
not empty their calabashes, for they
could not drink up the water as fast as
it fell into them. In many pa rts of
the tropics rain is remarkably regu-
lar phenomenon. At Rio de Janeiro
1t Ii said that 1t used to be the fashion
In invitations for the afternoon to
state whether the guests were to as

storm which came on regularly every
day at a particular hour.
At the Government cinchons planta-
tons In Jamaica, on December 81,
1885, 11.80 inches of rain fell in twen-
ty-four hours, but this measurement
does not indicate the total fall, as q

Is taken to prevent this occurring

Origin Of the Japanese.

The origin Of the Japanese has been
debated more often since they have
given to the world an exhibition OF
such great military skill as was shown
IN the war with China than ever be-
fore. The question came up in q con-
versation with celebrated Japanese
General not long ago, and he Is re-
ported to have said that his people
were originally Malsys. His assertion
appeared to have been made with so
much positiveSess as to warrant be-
lief that the Investigations of Japan's
learned men hail discovered good
ground for sttributing tho National
origin to this source
Mr.. K. Miyagawa, the Japanese Con-
sui at this port, says. however, that
the problem of origin has not get been
definitely settled. 1t is a question
which has aroused great interest among
the educated classes of Japan, and for
the past twenty years Japanese, as
we'll as foreign investigators, have
been striving to throw light upoE this
obscure subject. There are, however,
very great difficulties in the way of
the investigators
The history of Japan, Mr.. Miyagswa
says, goes back 1855 years, but it was
not until about 400 years ago that
the Japanese had written language.
The stories of the previous centuries
came down from age to age in this
form of legends, which were repeated
by one person to another until they
at last became part of the Nationsb
literature which began with the intro.
ductio1 of Chinese characters. These
stories, however, show, it is believed,
that, even at the extremely early day
to which they relate, the Japanese pos
sessed the islands which they now in
habit, and had most, if not all, of the
distinguishing characteristics which
now mark them.
According to Mr.. Miyagaws, the
general opinion among Japanese
scholars is that the first inhabitants of
the islands were the Amos, that hairy
race, q few individuals of which still
exist in the northernmoyt part of the
empire. TheJapanese, it Is believed,
came from the south, but whether
from the Malay peninsula, from the
Philippine Islands or from Southern
China, has not yet been definitely de-
termined.-New York Sun.

A story is told in the India Rubber
World of q meek-looking stranger,
with distinctly ministerial air, who
applied for permission to look over q

he was admitted. The Superintendent
showed him about in person, and the

A comparison Of French operations
In Madagascar and Japanese opera
tions in Formoss, shows that the latter
are not behind, but in advance Of,
Western Nations in the art of war.
The Japanese, it is pointed ont in the
New York Sun, had far and away the
harder task Of the two. Even in the
matter OF climate Formosa is worse
than Madagascar. The Black Flags
and other irregular Chinese levies
were more formidable opponents than
the Hoyas. The French employed 49,
900 men for a task which could have
been carried ont, according to their
own officers, by 5000, backed by 1900
or 1000 Soudsnese. They have lost
5000 by fever, aided by mismanage-
ment Madagascar will be remembered
as Tonkin is by the people in the
French provinces The Japanese don't
do things In this bungling way. They
threw 10000 troops into FormoSs,
and relieved their men 50 cleverly

the island long enough to fall victim
to the local conditions. The whole
