TROPlC LIGHT AND HEAT.

The light and the heat are the two
things that most impress one OH first com.

pressive of the two. From sunrise to sun.

very shadows are luminous, dark though
they appear by contrast. l should say that
latitude IL was about 45, 600, 900 miles
nearer the sun than latitude 40. Yet 1t Is
tender, soft, sufeused light, not fierce
and hard one. The atmosphere is not SO
rarefied as that of our own west. One can
read here by moonlight, but one cannot
read fine print easily. The remote dis
tances of the landscapes are melted In an
aerial haze instead of being defined with
the relentless clearness of a steel engray
ing. Nevertheless the light of the trophs
Is superlative. 1t seems to belong I'd a

had read of blazing tropic suns, of scorch-
ing, blistering tropic heats, but l find
nothing of the sort. However great the
ultimate effect may be, the manner is al
ways gentle, oweet, subtle, soothing. Har-
bour street in Kingston never shows so saw
age temperature as Broadway in New
York. But for all that 1t will not do to
take undue liberties with this soft spoken
climate.
After walking a few miles along the
white, undulating roads or painting up a
steep hillside nothing could be more de-
licious than the touch of the northern
breeze tanning you as you sit under the
shadow of broad spreading silk cotton,
nor could anything be more dangerous.
You are being famed by the wings of
death. Evaporation is wonderfully rapid.
You come in from exercise drenched with
perspiration, and before you can make
ready for rub down" your skin is al.
ready dry. In the north slight chill may
be followed by slight cold, and that be
the end Of 1t. Here your chill may turn
out the end of everything for you. More
over, the soil when dampened by rains
probably exhales miasma, productive OF
what we call malarial fever. In Jamaica
it occasionally develops into an appalling
ly ugly and brief disease known as black
vomit.
On the other hand, if you are nationally
cautious and let liquor of every kint
alone, you may walk or climb or play ten
mis- or ride horseback all through the hCt
test parts of the cloudless day and feel on

Gentlemen My little girl has always been

spasms caused by indigestion The measles
were coming out on her at the same time, and
since then every little thing would throw
her into spasms or the symptoms of them.
If she took the slightest cold she would wake
up at night in Eighty condition, and we would
have to give her medicine and work with her
long time to keep her from having spasm.
She would be like that every four or six months,

This fall she took cold while out playing,
and woke in the night, Eighty as usual. This
turned to rheumatism in her hand, leg, and foot.

The Great Writer Had Felt the Want
of Money.
George Eliot, since she was a woman,
had probably needed money herself at
times; and this may explain why she
shows proper consideration for her
heroines, letting few of them suffer
lifelong poverty, says Lippincott's.
Romola's income enables her to care
for Tessa and bring Vello up accord
ing to her own educational theories;
Janet, having money, repents comfort
ably, being enabled to arrange a pleas
ant home for Mr.. Tryan, to be near
him In his last moments, and to erect
stone to his memory. Hardy's poor
Tess, on the contrary, is not even al
lowed enough money to pay for the

Between the curve of the Macedonian
frontier of the mountains of Khassia
and the open town Of Kalabaka, which
terminates the long western plain Of
Thessaly, lie the monasteries of Me-
teora. A casual glance gives the idea
Of the whole space being occupied by
lines of bare hills, but on nearer in
spection a curious amphitheater is
found, carved out among the noun
tains, and this is occupied by most
extraordinary collection Of rocks, on
which are perched-llke storks' nests

In one place huge monolith ia found
literally crowned with buildings, as in
the case of the Monastery Of All Saints,
popularity known as Hagios Barlaam;
in another, a group Of jagged rocks
will have one point capped by a mon
astery, as is seen in st. Nicholas. The
most striking feature about these mon
asteries is the method by which they
are reached, either by loose ladders
hanging outside the perpendicular
rocks, or by being wound up by means
Of windlass In a net at the end of
rope. From its beautiful position, It's

buildings, the Monastery of Harios

Barlaam is very good specimen Of
these fifteenth century monasteries, but
what makes this one Of especial inter-
est is that the rope is said to be the
longest used for the purpose (340 feet).
The ladders to this monastery are not
so difficult to climb as some, but inso-
much as they pull out every time you
grip them and oscillate frightfully, II
is pleasanter to risk the net. The
Monastery Of Hagios Nikolaos ap-
peared to be in a totally dilapidated
condition and entirely deserted when
we visited Meteora, while the ladders,
which are seen in the picture rising
from a neighboring peak and hanging
from the bare rock, were impracticable.
All these monasteries are under the
Archimandrite, man Of commanding
presence and sanity countenance. The
village of Kastraki is jammed In be-
tween the outer rocks of this curious
amphitheater, and in the slit Of this
rocky wall at the back Of the VIII
lage stands most peculiar hourglass-
looking monollth. The rocks on either
side are perforated with strange holes,

inhabited by the monks Of st. An

they can make their way safely at

Through the Dolomites," appears in the
current number Col. Warning says;
We found that the bicycle fever had
reached even to our landlord, who was
experimenting with an iron-rimmed
wheel over which the saddle was sup
ported by pair Of elliptic springs.
Il tried 1t, and said it went very
well, though not so soft as the "pneu."
I lifted 1t, and did not care to go farth-
er. told him 1t was too heavy. He
said: "Mawknix; muss starker sein"
Probably the extra weight Of this wheel
would not be considered In fixing the
load that a Tyrolese peasant would
carry over the hills from the fields,
aud need not be regarded as an OBJ
struction to sport. The wheels here
are all much heavier than ours, and
much stronger. They can be sent up

In this land, and for safety In going
down hill they have very effective
brakes. The best brake has two pieces
Of rubber, about two and a half inches
long and three-quarters Of an inch
square, which are held fiat against the
two quarters of the tire. 1t holds very
firmly, and its friction does not come
on the part that is subject to the great
est wear. 1t is used, not with q steady
pressure, but with successive light
squoezes. When one becomes accus-
toned to 1t, 1t gives excellent control
to any degree desired--even to hold
ing the machine stock-still under any
load and on any grade. Even the
usual fiat brake has rubber face

Killed in Florida alone. In 1880 three
firms at Kissimee handled 10000 hides.
