An Abundance Of Gold Exists In the
Territory Now In Dispute. @
The region which is attracting the
attention in Venezuela, owing to: the
disputed boundary question between
that country and England, involving
the principle of the Monroe doctrine,
is, with the exception OF the Yuruan
river. country, almost unknown, owing
to the difficulty of communication.
The districts of the Yuruan, Supamo,
Akrcka, Cuynni and Mazaruni are in
habitet! by Indian tribes, in their prim-
tive and savage condition. ~..,.} :.
Count di Mombello, who knows the
country well, says great natural riches
abound. Gold is found in quartz veins
and mixed with the sand in the beds of
the streams; also On their banks. q
few feet. below the soil. The famous
Ell Callao mine, in this district, was
discovered by a washerwoman. On
the Yuruan she found lump of quartz
containing gold. The nine gave to it's
stockh olders an annual dividend of
100000. per share. Thcre., were 3G
shares of stock, two of which were
bought by the Rothschilds at 500, 900 a
share. There arc many. other mines
near these, but on account of the ex.
.pense and the difficulty of communica:::
ton they have not been developed.
What is required is railroad, which,
as there are no engineering difficult
ties, could lie gconst- ucted for SIS, O00,-
600. Twenty mining companies would
at once go to work, which would insure
an annual profit of not less than. So.
100000. The Venezuelan government
has given a concession for railroads to
several European bankers, but the Eng
lish government has always inter-
posed in some way. The railroad ought
to be constructed by American capital
lists. IT would be $50 miles in length
and should run from the Orinoco to
the Cuyuni river.
Certcinly this region is FL Dorado.
Gold is found in every part of it. One
rich rhine was discovered through q
cow digging up piece of ore. Another
was found by a man who noticed that
the walls of his hut sparkled in many
places: The brilliapcy was owing to
the presence Of gold in the clay. Not
withstanding the difficulty of commu-
nication there are at least a dozen viii
'lages in the district, with about $4,000
inhabitants, who obtain livelihood
by washing the gold from the sand.
The valleys of the ,Yuruan and Cuyunj
rivers are covered with virgin forests,
which abound with rubber trees. If
this product were gathered here the
profit would be large, especially with
the great demand for the article in the
. United States for the tires of bicycles
alone. This fact should certainly at.
tract the attention of American CAPT.
talists. Gum arabic. cinnamon, qui.
nine and other valuable drugs and
spices grow here, which only require
the iron horse to bring them to market
from these unexplorcd wilds.-N. Y.

A MISSIONARY ON A BICYCLE.

He Astonished tho Natives and Sometimes
Ran Great Risks.
The following extract is from letter
recently receired by Rev. H. \. Schauf-
fer from his daughter, who is q mis-
sionary in Persia:
"Mr. Allen, the superintendent of
the industrial department, has gone to
America to learn something more of
the iron trade, as an iron department
is to be added to the shop. He started
off on his bicycle, and expected to ride
to Batoum, ON the Black sea, stop ut

his wheel to see the training school

He would leave the horsemen who ac-

most of the way alone. Everywhere
he was an object of the greatest VOL

''He would get to village, and the

He would have to give IN exhibition.
and finally end up in some open place,
where the native helper who accom-
panied him would he ready to hold a
service. The congregation was there,
with no ringing of bells, except the

"Mr. Allen says that in this way viii
lages were opened up where never be-
fore had the Gospel message been al
lowed to enter. But sometimes he got
into trouble, and at one place such
mob surrounded him that he had to
get out of that village at the very ear

Zone day he was riding along alone
when he saw horseman ahead of him,
who stopped and stared with all his

The Noble Work That Ii Done Along tho
y; American Coasts.
" While we are listening to the Wild
storms of winter bowling around our
comfortable homes, let us take a look
at the home and life of the brave life
savers, who are guarding life and prop
terty along our coasts. Few people real
ize what these men have to endure, or
how many heroic deeds could be gath
cred from the records of even one, of
these little stations: : ~;
= In the year 1891 the disasters on our
ocean and lake coasts. numbered 491,
with a passenger list of 3,491; of these
s,441,were saved by the gallant keepers
and their brave men, and over $50 per.
sons were cared for at the different
stations.
We can Judge from this report how
efficient must be the corps of officers
in this important department OF the
government; millions of dollars worth
Of property, in the shape of valuable
cargoes, are yearly saved from the
greedy ocean by the crews Of the life
saving service.
a.: ThepeAare.now,on the American coasts
go stations properly equipped, and the
cost to the government is made good
by the value of lives and money saved;
indeed, under the present system, there
are fewer lives lost yearly on the whole
coast line than were formerly sacri-
feed on the Jersey coast alone in that
time.
The general superintendent of the
lite-saving service resides at Washing
ton; there are district superintendent
who have charge of all stations in their
district, which they must visit once in
three months. Each district superin-
tendent must inspect the public prop
erty, and drill the various crews in all;
exercises, on the occasion of his visit of
inspection.
A journal of the daily doings at each
station is forwarded weekly to the de-
partment at Washington; where wrecks
occur, and lives or vessels are lost. q
rigid investigation is made by the de-
partment; with a view to detecting any
possible neglect or carlessness on the
part. of the life-savers.-Teresa A.

ANTARCTIC ICE.
1t Differs Considerably from That OF the

II Differs Considerably from That OF the
Northern Regions.
The difference in the formation OF
Arctic and Antarctic ice, as is we'll
known, is very great. While the north
ern bergs mostly consist OF large ice

ers and arches resembling the noun.
tain peaks which surround the glaciers
from which they were torn, the Ant =
arctic berg are solid masses OF floating

showed plainly whether they were
broken from the large southerly bar
rier or discharged from the glaciers OF
Victoria Land. All the barrier bergs
had very distinct blue lines across their
walls, Indicating the annual growth by,
snowfall. These lines were, OF course,
not to be found on the glacier ice. The
latter also showed more likeness to tho
northern ice than did the former. The
peaks and towers of the Arctic icebergs!
are supposed to be formed by the In
f!uence of ocean currents wearing away
the softer part of the ice-mass UNDER
water, until the natural law of grayita-
stion forces it to upset. RS -: =.
But why have the Antarctic iceberga
q different appearance? 1t is certain
that in the Antarctic waters there are
also currents. Yet even icebergs that
have gone as far north as the south Of
New Zealand have all maintained the
marks of their Antarctic origin. I can
not see any other reason for this dis
similarity between the bergs of the
north and those of the south but that
the Arctic icebergs, as rule, must pass
through climes which in temperature
rapidly change from one extreme to-
another, and the icebergs take much
longer time in floating southwark than
do the Antarctic icebergs 'inS$advancing
northward, and thus, as q rule, tho
northern icebergs exist much longer
than those of the Antarctic.-C. T..
