Patagonia to the Bolivian frontier.
They cover IN area of 600, 900 square

with sand pools and marshes. The
northern portion is occupied by the
vast unexplored territory of the Gran

northern and northwestern parts of
this huge territory are plains furnish

plains are interspersed with dense

The growths of clover, thistles aud

Towns in Florida have a great boon
in the so'called paving clay found
near Barlow in the State and else
where further South. 1t is moi solely
clay, but combination of sand, clay
and oxide of iron. 1t breaks up
under the pick when dug, and needs
no other preparation to be put upon
the sandy streets of Floridian towns.
1t is laid on several inches deep, wet,
and then rolled. The result is hard,
smooth surface, that resists the wear
of traffic. Railway companies in
Florida have used the material for
the approaches to stations and for
crossings.

Probably few readers are aware of
the fact that modern industry has al
ready got "a foothold IN the Arctic
regions, and that mines are worked
on large scale and railroad reg
ularly operated in such high latitudcs.
This is the case in Sweden, where the
Lulea-Gellivare Railroad, built for
the purpose OF carrying iron ore from
the Gellivare mines to the seaport at
Lulea, extend fifty miles above the
Arctic circle and enjoys the distinc-
ton of being tho first railroad to open
up the frigid zone.

The Moon n Piece of the Earth,

When the earth was young, accord.
ing to the testimony of our most noted
astronomers, it turned with such amaz-
ing rapidity that the day was only
about three hours long. The entire
globe was liquid then, and as it spun
around at that fearful rate of speed
the sun, causing ever-increasing tides
upon its surface, at last pulled it
asunder The smaller portion be-.
came the planet which we now call the
moon. The distance OF this moon
from the earth has been gradually in
creasing ever since, and the time will
surely come when it will not look
larger than tenth-magnitude star to
the people of the earth. St Louis

The Philadelphia Record quotes a
traveller in Japan as saying that, in
spite of their advance in civilization,
the Japanese retain much of their
primitive simplicity. They always
leaves their shoes at the door of
house when they enter and walk inside
in their stocking feet. When the first
railroad was started from Yokohama
to Toxic all the Japanese gentlemen
were crazy to ride. They hurried to
the station, kicked their shoes off on
the platform, and entered the train.
When they arrived at Toxic they
eagerly looked around the platform
for their shoes, and great consterna.
tion prevailed when these shoes were
nowhere to be found.

Ismailia continued cat sign from
Kinenn, the Pasha was lifted out of
his chair and thrown flat ON his back.
One man held each leg, one man each
arm, and I held his head, while Nam.
ba cut his throat."
Mamba here put in vigorous pro-
test, saying he had not cut his throat.
But Ismailia stuck to his statement,
and swore that it was Mamba who had
acted as executioner. Mamba said it
was another slave, but that he had
stood by and watched the murder be-
ing committed and wran3le ensued
between the two, Ismailia accusing
and Mamba denying. 1 let this con-
tinue few moments; but as no in
formation of Importance resulted, |
stopped them both, and then told Is
MALTA to continue, for l should as
sumo that Mamba had held the knife.
Mamba looked rather discouraged at
this declaration, but said nothing;
and T firmly believe that it was he who
beheaded Emin.
Ismailia then said: ''Emin made
no effort at resistance. His head was
drawn back until the skin across his
throat was tight, aud with one move
ment of the knife Mamba cut his head
half of. The blood spurted over us
and the Pasha was dead. We held t.,
him for few moments; then we
arose, and left the body where it was.
Afterward Mamba severed the head
from the body, and Kinena had it
packed in a small box and sent on to
Kibonge, to show that his orders had
been obeyed.
The reason, it appears to me, for
Kibonge's having sent the. head to
Nyangwe was that he desired to show
Munie- Mohara, who had almost as
much influence as Tippoo Tib, that he
(Kibonge) was as big chief in his
own country, and could kill a white
man as well us Munie-Mohara, who
had ordered the destruction of Hold
ister's expedition.

''Poultry is attracting increasing at
