Gold in plenty may be found in the
sands Of the Nolador Rivera stream of
moderate volume that comes mbling
from the snow line of the Sierra de st.
Martha in South America-but though
the lowland region and the river bed
where the precious metal abounds in ia b.
ulous quantities are easily accessible, the
mosquitoes are SO thick and terrible here
that all attempts TO rifle the sands of their
gold have so far failed.
Eiisee Reclus, the celebrated French
geographer, was the first to explore the
plain about the Volador's mouth. 1t
seemed like an earthly paradise at first,
and the singing insects were no more
numerous than one might have expected.
But as the rainy season came on and the
air grew hot and humid the mosquitoes
appeared in incredible swarms. NJ.
Reclus had thought OF establishing an
agricultural colouyi in the fertile lowlands,
but found the plague OF insects SO unbear-
able that he was forced to beat retreat
and abandon his project.
He was the discoverer of this wonder
full stream, whose waters sweep over
sands that are literally golden. He told
the news to the French Vice-Consul at
Rio Hacha, and this official obtained the
concession of this El Dorado. The dan
gers ne was TO encounter he knew per-
fectIy well. He took with him when he
set out an ingeniously constructed gauze
tent of large dimensions. For two days
he tried To live under it's shelter and
watch the operations of his workmen,
who soiled in the sitting heat, clothed in
thick garments and protected by heavy
boots, gloves and wells. AT the end of
the second day, however, both employer
and employees with one accord gave up
the struggle and retreated.
The nextto try to wiring fortune from
these auriferous sands was an Italian,
who obtained permission from the Vice
Consul referred to above; The Italian
laughed at the idea of mosquitoes driving
anyone away from place where gold

fui. lie started out with party OF six
who shared with him his belief, and so
they took along no special protection
against the insects. They endured for
less than half an hour the awful torture
and then fed. They found their way
back to Rio Hacha with difficulty for the
eyes of five were SO badly swollen that
they were blind. The sixth's face was
sight to behold, and he had to pick out
the pathway with the aid of one eye,
which the mosquitoes had not entirely
closed.
Yet there are human beings who can
venture with impun!ty into this hell
whose guardian demons are mosquitoes,
and these are some of the savage natives
or the mountains from whose rocky
sleeps the river comes tumbling down.
these savages, who are mosqulto-proof,
are rendered so by their bodies being
covered with the scales of that awful dis
ease leprosy. Strange to say, The mos
qultOes will not touch them. But neither
gold nor the gauds of civilization will
tempt them to labor, and there is no
human power, apparently, which Will
drag them on from their rude caves on
the mountain side and make them labor
for the white men.
Ii IS an ola and true saying that one
might as we'll try to get along without
turs in the Arctic regions as without mos
quito nets in the tropics. Mosquito nets
seem to have been of little avail, how
ever, in the instances related. The in
sects are said to have been both unusually
large and unusually venomous. and they
came in such myriads that they had the
appearance of mist hanging over the
waters Of the river. The intense pain and
action Ofthe poison on the system speedily
drive the strongest mad.
One Of the iavorlte tortures among the
natives of the region about the valley OF
the Folador is to strip their victim and
bind him naked to stake. In moment
his body will be literally covered with
mosquitoes. and in half hours time it
will be enormously sweiled. The torture
is indescriba Dle.-N. Y. World.

DR.. GUNSAULUO, THE NOTED ORATOR
He viii Lecture in This City This
Evening.
Said ito be One Of the Most Eloquent
Public Speakers of the
Present Day.

DR.. 7. w. Gunsaulus, the celebrated
pulpit orator of Chicago, who is making
a tour of the coast, will lecture at the
Congregational Church this evening. His
subject will be ''Sayonarola," which is
said TO be his most entertaining lecture.
The lecture will begin at 8 o'clock ex
actly, and will be through before the fire.
works display on the Plaza begins. No
one who admires eloquence and learning
should fail to hear DR.. GunsaulUs. A
well-known literary man Of this city who
has heard all the famous orators of this
day, declared last night that he considers
DIR. Gunsaulus the most eloquent living
American, and that to hear him in one of
mis- favorite lectures on a subject with
which he is ''saturated,' as is the case
with his treatment of Savonarola, is
treat no man who admires splendid elo-
quence and learning can afford to miss.
DR.. Gunsaulus is President of the
Armour Institute of Chicago and pastor
of the First Congregational Church of
that city. He was once offered the Pres
idency of the Stanford University. He
is 80 years old and was reared on an Ohio
his veins. He is slim, fully six feet tall,
with slightly olive complexion, and
walks with a sweeping stride. He has
occupied Beecher's and Spurgeon's pull
pits, and not long ago was rendered the
position made vacant by the death OF the
distinguished Professor Swing.
The feature at the Chautauquan Assem-
bly at Pacific Grove on the "a inst. was
the address by DR.. Gunsaulus. His sub
iect was The Eloquence of Puritanism."
In his remarks the speaker dwelt upon
the fact that every age brings out great
puritanic eloquence. He began with
Abraham as being the first great Puritan
"a man whose every word was word of
eloquence. Puritanism ls sublime ideal
ism, that has gone with the occident of
activity, and not knowing whittier it has
gone lie dwelt upon the great puritans
of the world, the ends they have accom-
plished by their few words-their few
burning words of eloquenee that has
saved nations.
He spoke of Wendell Phillips as the
greatest man OF our times; the man who
saved the alton from slavery, and who.
said DR.. Gunsaulus, was the greatest
orator who has used the English tongue
for the last seventy-five years. No man.
he said, ever mastered the mob by ideas
as did Wendell Phillips. He gave per-
sonal "reminiscences Of his associations
with Wendell Phillips which added
greatly to the interest of the lecture. He
considers the greatest orator OF the hour

New regulations have been issued
by the Government regarding vessels
engaged in fur-seal fishing for the
season OF 1895, and they require that
vessels engaged in such fishing must
have a special license in addition to
the other papers now provided by
law. They also provide for a special
flag to be displayed by such vessels,
and masters OF vessels shall, before
issuance Of this special license, pro-
duce to the Collector OF a Customs
District evidence that the hunters
employed by them are competent to
use with sufficient skill the Weapons
by means of which this fishing may
be carried Oh. Masters OF vessels in
tending to engage in fur-seal fishing
should make inquiries at the Gus
tom House and post themselves con-
corning the new regulations which
have just been received in order that
they may not be liable to penalties.
