On the Orinoco.

Scrambling through creek choked
with bulrushes many times higher than
our heads we climbed up the clay bank
and attempted to push through the dense
underground in the direction OF the tur-
moil More easily said than done.
The profound density of that tropical
forest is indescribable. Thorns, palms,
lianas and other creepers were bound to-
gether in an elastic but impenetrable mass,
and it was only by crawling on all sours
that any progress was possible Fearsome
creatures, but half seen In the somber for
est shade, wriggled away through the ooze
mt our approach, and at each step swar1ns
of mosquitoes rose from the decaying veg
etstion, settling with determined ferocity
on every available bare spot of skin. Once
we ran our heads against what seemed a
thick Llama, but which, twisting rapidly
away, proved to be large anaconda. I'm
fortunately he was out of sight before q
rife could be disentangled.
Suddenly deep throated roar resound-
ed In tree Just over our heads, and, look
ing up with tingling nerves. we found 1t
had been emitted by nothing more formi-
dable than large gibbon, which, not being
deemed worthy of powder and lead, was
left unmolestcd, and, torn, bleeding, drip
ping with perspiration and half frantic
from mosquito poison, we returned sor-
ry spectacle to the launch. Chambers

TOWN ovEa A GOLD MINE.
The Ground Under Ballarat. In Australia
Has Yielded $50, 100000.

The richest gold mine in the world Is
located under the thriving town OF Bal
larat, Victoria, Australia. Tho town has
about 20, 900 inhabitants, nearly all OF
whom are employed in the mine. There
are more than 100 miles of tunnels under
the city, some Of them being at a depth OF
1000 feet The entrance to the mine,
which is controlled by corporation and
is known rs the Band, Barton and Albion
councils, is outside the city.
The region around Ballarat has been
dug over several times by miners. 1t vas
formerly covered by q dense forest, but
tho trees have been chopped down, and
the mark OF the miners shovel and pick
is visible on all sides. Not one OF these
workers struck pay dirt, and the work
was all done In vain.
The rock in which the gold is found be-
meath Ballarat is not rich in the yellow
metal 1t yields but half an ounce of
standard gold 10 the ton, and yet the
Band, Barton and Albion mine has yield
ed more than $50. 600, 900 of gold since IL
was opened 30 years ago The work is
done so Systematically and so thoroughly
that it Is enormously profitable in spite of
tho low grade OF the ore. The supply of
paying quartz seems practically inexhaust-
ible, and as the vein Is extensive, being
spread over much territory, the mine bids
fair to last for centuries.
All of the paying veins OF Australia run
north and south, and have dip of 20 de-
grees east and west In working the mines
a shaft Is sunk until the vein is struck.
Then the miners work upward, allowing
the ore TO fall backward and downward to
the shaft, through which il is raised TO
the surface where In is milled
The workmen in the Band, Barton and
Albion are much more comfortable than
the workers in coal mine. There are no
noxious gases and no danger from explo-
sions. Pure air is forced in through various
shafts, and thus into the drivers. The
tunnels are drilled far apart, so that there
will be no danger TO the city above, where
all Is trade and hustle London Tit Bits.

worked Both Ways.

The late Mr.. Justice Dcnman once tried
case in an agricultural parish which
mainly turned upon the recollections of
the oldest inhabitants. One of these was
hale and vigorous yeoman of So, whose
erect figure, keen intelligence and clear
testimony created so strong a sensation in
the court that the judge questioned him
concerning his mode of life. The witness
explained that he was a vegetarian and n
total abstainor. The Judge, in dismissing
him, expressed hope that all who were
present might profit by his example, and
then the next witness was called. This
was another yeoman, the elder brother of
the preceding and fully match for him
in strength, activity and intelligence. IS
he was about to retire, the judge stopped
him with the observation, II presume that

English Make, Sir"

An Englishman who wishes to say some
thing especially gracious to an American
will usually say that he took him for an
Englishman-that is, to be regular Eng.

all that is necessary TO be said about a
man, a machine, an ax or pair of shears.
If you go into "shop" to buy pair of
gloves and are shown n pair that are
clumsy, ugly, high priced and i'll fitting,
and II you object TO them on that account,
you are assured that they are English

administration of Mexican justice. A
