Gold in plenty may be found in the
lands of the Volador river, a stream OF
moderate volume that falls from the
NOW line of the Sierra de Santa Marta
ia South America, but though the low
land region and the river bed where
The precious metal abounds in fabu-
!ous quantities are easily accessible,
The mosquitoes are so thick and ter
-ible there that all attempts to rife
the sands of their gold have SO far
tailed.
Elisee Reclus, the celebrated French
yeographer, was the first to explore
the plain about the Volador's mouth.
He had thought of establishing an
agricultural colony in the fertile low
lands, but found the plague of insects
10 unbearable that he was forced to
beat retreat and abandon his prof.
ect.
He was the discoverer of this won
aerful stream, whose waters sweep
over sands which are literally golden.
He told the news to the French vice
consul at Rio Hacha, and this official
obtained the concession of this Eldo-
rado. The dangers he was to en-
counter he knew perfectly well. He
| took with him when he set out an iu-
geniously constructed gauze tent of
large dimensions.
For two days he tried to live under
Its shelter and watch the operations
of his workmen, who toiled in the
| sitting heat, clothed in thick gar
ments, and protected by heavy boots,
gloves and wells. At the end of the
second day, however, both employer
and employees gave up the struggle
and retreated.
| The next to try to wiring fortune
from these auriferous sands was ar
italian, who obtained permission from
the vice consul. The Italian laughed
at the idea of mosquitoes driving any

A high tariff contemporary claims
that Europe bought more "high-pr1ced
wheat from us under the Mckinley
law than low-priced wheat under the
Wilson law"
Yes, it did in 1892 because Of crop
shortages that year and the year be-
fore in Europe. Crop damages were 50
great that some of the European coun-
tries suspended their duties on grain
and otherwise favored BY legislation
the import Of American wheat. But
MeKinleyism couldn't help our farmers
after that. Not only did our wheat
exports fall of In 1893 over forty mil
lion bushels, but the price per bushel
fell twenty per cent.
Instead of recovering the lost ground
In the next year Of Mckinley ism,
wheat continued to fall in price. Not
until the Wilson bill had taken effect
was any Improvement perceptible.
The average export price OF No 2 red
wheat has been higher this year than
at any time since Europe's crop short
age in 1899. The average for the year
has also been higher than during the
corresponding period Of last year uri-

When we compare quantities we find
that up to the 1st OF August about

Oc' dul LlOucec fr6SS: 1t has
taken only 20 years for the establish
ment OF 64 agricultural experiment
stations in this country, the first Cne
having been established at Middle
town, Conn.,, in 1896. In 1894, 81
annual report and 4O1 bulletins were
: publlshed. The instructors and in
vestlgators employed number 557 and
all but I'd of these are highly educated
scientists. The United States has
one-sixth of all the experiment. stations
in the world, and spends one half the
money devoted to agricultural expert
ment in all countries. These few
facts, cleaned from the annual report
OF the Agricultural Department, give
an idea of the extent of the work be-
ing done in this line. It's value to the
farming industry and SO to the coun-
try at large is incalculable.

A very remarkable thing In the
way OF birds nests Is preserved in
the Museum OF National History at
Soleure, In Switzerland, whittier 1t
was brought by one N. Rudolph
Rueder. 1t Is q nest made entirely
of steel.
There are q number of clockmak.
ing shops at Soleura end the
windows Of these shops there are
often found lying disused or broken
springs Of clocks.
Early last summer NJ Rueder, one
of these clockmakers, noticed o birds
nest of peculiar appearance In tree
in his yard He examined 1t and
found that a pair of wag-tails had
built a nest entirely Of clock springs,
which they had picked up here and
there about the village. The nest
was more than four inches across,
and a perfectly comfortable one for
the birds.
After the feathered architects had
reared their brood, NJ Rueder pre-
scented the nest to the bpseum
of the town, where it Is pre-
served as striking illustration
Of the skill of birds In turning their
surroundings to advantage Ia build
ing their nests
Probably next year the birds win
build another nest, and unless the
clockmahers Of Soleure guard their
springs more closely, steel nests win |
not be SO much Of curiosity as Is |

Obituary.

Died at her home near POOLS store,
Christian county, Bertha Morris, the
daughter of Mr.. Frank P. Morris and
Mrs. Della Morris, August %, 1895.
Bertha was bright little girl of 7
years. She was the sunshine and
idol of her fathers family and the
community in which she lived. The
family has the sympathy of the Vi
entity in their bereavement.
She is gone but not forgotten,
Gone to that land beyond;
Where sickness cannot enter
And sorrow never comes.
Although her place is vacant,
We know she lives above;
W here Jesus bids her welcome,
To that city where all is love.
On her brow is q crown of life,
In her hand harp of gold
And her heart is swelled with rapture,
And with JOY beyond control.
She was loved by all who knew her,
And sad we are to know;
That her face so kind and gentle,
We ne'er more shall see below.
But in that heavenly city,
That city not made with hands;
We shall see her and shall know her,
Amid the bloc d-washed bands.
Though It's hard to give her up,
We would not wish her back,
In this world OF sin and sorrow
Where allis dark and black.
Little Bertha has crossed the broad river,
That river We have yet to cross;
She has gained that holy city,
Withoutprice andwithoutcos
On our lives depend our entrance,
To that city bright and lar
II we give our lives TO Jesus,
He aaya we ahnll enter there.

In a Night.

The famine that decimated Ireland
fifty years ago was caused by the
blighting of the potatoes-then the
staple food Of the peasantry. The
blight literally walked in darkness,
though the sickness destroyed at
MONDAY. Says Frances Power Cobbe
in her Life:
I happen to be able to recall pre-
cisely the day, almost the hour,
when the blight fell on the potatoes
and caused the great calamity A
party of US were driving to a seven
o'clock dinner. AS we passed a re-
markably fine field of potatoes In
blossom, the scent came through the
open windows Of the carriage, and
we remarked to each other how
splendid was the crop.
Three or four hours later, as we
returned home In the dark, dread
full odor came from the same Held,
and we exclaimed: Something has
happened to those potatoesl they
do not smell at all as they did
when we passed them on our way
outr'
Next morning there was wall
from one end of ireland to the other.
Every field was black, and every root
rendered unfit for human food. And
there were nearly eight millions Of
people depending principally upon
those potatoes for existence.
