Lercl Of tho Gulf Rising.

According to the engineers of the
photographic bureau the level of tho
Gulf of Mexico is one foot higher than
it was in 1850, and, of course, the en-
croachment on the surrounding coasts
has been greater or less, depending on
their character. In some places, where
the marginal lands are composed of
some high rocky bluffs, this change of
level has gone on from year to year
without attracting attention On tho
other hand, many low-lying points
(some that were once inhabited by the
primitive inhabitants or by the pioneer
while scttlcrs) are entirely submerged.
The cause of this change of level has not
as yet been asccrtained, but it is reason
ably certain that it is the result of
either a settling Of the dry land or Of q
general and uniform rising or upheaval
in the gulf bed. On the contrary,
there isn't the least doubt but that
there Is much less. However this may
be, IL this aqueous cncroachment is
steadily maintained KeolSuk will be o
deep water harbor and st. Louis and
the whole of Missouri will be entirely
submerged in less than forty thousand
years from January 1, 1895.

gorging themselves on ration day ana
starving for tho rest of the week is
partly responsible for vast deal of ILL
health: that the bad sanitary conditions
of cabin rather than wigwam life helps
to account for many deaths, and that
inherited disease and the reckless use
of tobacco from infancy are also causes
of a high mortality among agency In
dams. It is perhaps significant that
considerable percentage of the Indians
reported as excellent were included in
those who died young.
Many of the Indian students are re-

Portable wooden houses and some are

to be the besetting sin of the educated

The story of a promising Apache boy
shows a curious struggle between
school training and the savage instinct.
His record was bad and after several
outbreaks and arrests he wrote cheer

once more a good boy. An inclosed
photograph showed this wild animal
with the same enjoying boyish face that
had made him favorite at the school.

last week have enabled him to recover
it and about e1 900 in addition. Alto
gether, however, his losses at Monte
Carlo during the last ten years amount
to e125,OOo. He can therefore claim,
as he remarked to me, to have given the
game fair trial. He intends to leave
on Saturday and never to return. The
others agree that even with good luck
it is impossible to make money at Monte
Carlo, except it be by appropriating the
stakes of other people-a practice which
is common enough, especially at rou-

With the new policy of excluding In

there is one less avenue of employment

'Of 400 former pupils reported on, the

DARWIN'S MISSING LINK.

A Dutch Doctor Thinks He Has Found
the Creature In Java.
DR.. Dubois has made an interesting
discovery in the island of Java. He
claims to have uncarthed the bones of
Darwins missing link, says the Pail
Mall Gazette. Pithecanthropus erectus
is the unassuming name with which
the doctor has seen fit to baptize this
tertiary ancestor of ours. Up to the
present the skull, thighbone and
one solitary tooth are all that have
been laid bare, but, according to DIR.
Dubois, these remains are sufficient to
prove that the Pithccanthropus ercctus
was-as its name implics-in the habit
of walking erect like man; that it
was about the same height as an ordi-
nary man; finally, that, owing to the
formation of the jaw, it Tor, perhaps,
''he" would be more correct) could ar
ticulate without difficulty. The doctor
concludes, therefore, that he has finally
solved a much-debated question, and
added fresh luster to the reputation of
the greatest naturalist the world has
ever seen - himself excepted. After
this the exploits of Prof. Car Ter in
Africa sink into insignifcance. We
suggest that he proceed Immediately to
Java and there join his Dutch colleague,
for, after disappointing us SO cruelty
over those gorillas, the least the proscs-
sor can do, in our opinion, is to en-
Tighten us on the Pithecanthropus
crectus. Meanwhile, we suppose it
would be unkind to hint that the Dutch

Among the passengers who arrived
on the steamer st. Paul, from Guaymas
the other day, was DR.. Boido. When
the doctor left Guaymas the Mexican
troop ship Alexandra had just arrived
there with the Seventeenth battalion
of infantry, numbering about four hun!
dred troops.
"The soldiers are going 20 the Yaqui

reason for fighting that the Mexicans
are taking from them their lands, as
the American settlers did those of the
Indians long ago. No reservations arc
set aside for the Yaquis, and it is ques-
tion whether they would accept any.

GAMBLING AT MONTE CARLO.

The Percentage Against the Player So
large He Loses In the End.
Great interest, says q Nice correspon-
dent, has been displayed in the accounts
published of the gambling at Monte
Carlo, and the Casino people and their
friends have not failed to use these de-
scriptions of the phenomenal good luck
of some of the players for the purpose
of making known the momentary adj
vantage gained over the bank. The
desired results are following this man
euver; the rooms are kept filled and the
interest and hopes of players are sus-
tanned. The Casino company draws the
greater proportion of its enormous
profits from the crowds OF smaller
players; they rush to initiate In their
little way the richer men who stake the
maximum, and, as their capital is linn
tied, the result is inevitable.
1t would be both interesting end use
full to others to record the actual ex-
periences of the heavy gamblers whose
extraordinary play has been the cause
of so much excitement. The result of
my conversation with them is that, al
though they have succeeded In break
ing the bank dozen times week,
they are by no means great winners
upon the whole. In counting up the
sums taken from the table it Is Eeccs-
sary to reckon the amount Of previous
losses. All these heroes of the hour at
trcnte-et-quarante state, without cx-
ccption, that at the end of it all they
arc losers. The lucky enc is Greek,
who, after having obtained an advan-
tage over the bank of $4,000, had the
good sense to leave Monte Carlo for his
native country with the money in his
pocket.
For twelve years certain English
man has been a regular player at Monte
Carlo; he is an experienced gambler
with thorough knowledge Of the
game, and yet he has never left less

IN A TRANCE ELEVEN YEARS.
A French Girl Subsisting on Food Injected
Through Broken Tooth.


There is girl named Marguerite
Bouyenval at Thenelles, in the north of
France near St. Quentin, who is re-
ported to have been asleep for the
past eleven years A good deal of
doubt has been thrown on this pho
nomenal slumbering case, not only in
Paris, but also in Thenellcs and it's
vicinity, where there are two camps,
one of the believers and the other of
those who maintain that the so-called
sleeping beauty rises at night and has
good supper. The matter has been
investigated by Partisan who has
seen the girl, and found her as lean as a
skeleton and as stiff as a corpse, but
still living, says the London Tcle-
graph. Her mother injccts milk, pep
tone and sometimes wine through a
broken tooth in the girls mouth.
Marguerite Bouyenval made away with
baby eleven years ago, and the gen.
darmes were sent to her house. The
girl was SO frightened at their ap-
proach that she had attack of hys-
terra, which lasted several hours, and at
the end of which she fell into trance.
The doubts thrown on the continue
tion Of the trance have evidently been
caused by the fact that the mother of
the sleeping girl has made good
deal of money by exhibiting her. A
local doctor, who has observed the case
during the eleven years, informed the
investigator from Paris that Margue-
