 Mt. Eyerard, small British settle ment, located on a slight elevation overlooking the river, the country for many miles being one vast swamp. Here the boat stops, being the farth- est available landing for steamer Of a deep draft.
 Here we remained for the night, most of us going to the English hotel whose prices rival those of the wal dorf, N. Y., and whose accommoda' tions would not compare fayorably with ships forecastle.
 From Mt. Everard we had our choice of a small steamer or large canoes padded by Indians, blacks and coolies. One days journey by steamer took us to K0rabio, another British military post and gold inspectors office. Here we were nicely enter tained by the officer, Mir. Menges, whose duty is to register all persons going up the river and causing to be thoroughly searched all persons com ing down.
 Proceeding up the river in canoes of considerable size, stopping to cook our meals on the banks which now be- gin to rise a little and camping in the open air at night. Three days later we reached another British military post called "Arakaka the Indian word for turtle. The Barima River up to this town has been thoroughly cleaned or all fallen trees stumps and boulders at an enormous expenee tn the Brit eAal. Gov. From this point in South Wes- terly direction and towar6 the exserlne boundary of the disputed territory, ! the English have. constructed 2 Ane wide road upon yhlch we say hun dreds Of labOrers widering the road bed, building strong massive bridges, grading, ditchlng and putting 1t into the finest condition And as there are no horses or other animals of burden used in this territory; and also on ac- count of tue unpleasantDess existing between these two nations, 1t must be intended to be used for military pur- poses. From Arakaka we proceeded by boat to Barima landing, where a railroad has been graded and partially completed with locomotive and Toll ing stock on the ground. Near here are also located the promising quartz mines of the Barima Mining O., the Gates Gold Mining syndicate, the Sir Walter Raleigh Co.,, and many others. Thousands of English subjects are eagerly washing out the yellow metal in this vicinity. Fifteen miles from Barima, on the military road, another gold warden and military post are stationed, the duty of which is to take care of the queens interests in this section.
 Having tramped through the rain all day we were wet and tired when We reached Gold Inspector Jones' house, who entertained us to the queens taste. From here all the claims were scattered, the last one being that of Messrs. Barshall and Wickham, located some twenty miles distant and near the Barima river. These gentlemen were pleased to see us, as in their isolated location they are what might be termed almost 'dead to the world" Both are old time miners and woodsmen, and the swizzles and punches which they mixed for us were caution aud shall never be forgotten.

ARBITRATION.
Ho- It Works is venezneia as seeu by
 Two Americans.

The Venezuelan Herald, always on the lookout for that which might h. terest it's readers has procured an extract from an account of a curious and interesting journey which will soon he published in the United states. The authors are persons worthy of faith, one is naturalist and the other mining engineer, and like the ancient yoyager they can say: II was there, such things happened" :"
 The conclusion to be drawn from the succinct account of this voyage Is that the contested territory between Venezuela and England is always treated by the last named power as a conquered country. Everything is taxed, everything exploited, and 1t would seem that even the privilege for breathing must be paid for.
 We believe we are doing our duty and rendering a service in calling the particular attention of the American government, and above all the com mission at Washington, upon the facts we herewith signal
 Early this year, while the talk of the discovery of gold in paying quan- titles in the disputed territory of British Guiana aud Venezuela was being agitated In mining circles of the United States, We, beiug miners, concluded to investigate and prospect he :.s sss,s;:se.ss::.s e..sss::sss ss ss;;iisiiii er iisii.
 Leaving New York we went direct to the island Of TriDidad, expecting 70 go up the Orinoco river co the City os Bolivar, and thence esess osess- iiit tt El Dorado of dispute.
 Here we learned, however, that the only practical way to enter this coun- try was via Georgetown and conse- quently we bent our steps thitner.
 From here there are two ways oi reaching the Imataea mountains, where we wished to go. One by steamer to Batica Grove, a small town at the junction of the Essequibo and Cdyuni rivers, and thence up the lat ter river in canoes, very dang aud tedious trip, owing to the many falls, rapids and cataracts. Therefore we took the other route, going by the English Steamer ''Penwarthen" to the Guaimi or Waini river, thence through the fiue natural canal called the Moro Passage, into the Barima river. In two days we arrived at the British military post of MoroIuana, where there are located considerable garrison of British soldiers.
 Here the inspector comes aboard and examines al. papers, passes, per. mits, licenses and so forth.
 The following being a partial list Of what is demanded: One dollar each for the privilege of prospecting fol minerals in the disputed territory five dollars each for our shot guns and reyolyers, four dollars each for dogs and ten dollars each for all claims located. A true description Is taken of each person, his name and add ess slso where he proposes to go.
 Everything being satisfactory to these officials, you are allowed to pass into these section of dispute, sup posedly held mutually by British Guiana and Venezuela until decided by the arbitration committee of the United States of America, but from which at present Demerara is deriving her principal means of support.

Athletics Favorable to Health.

Professor Sargent, in North American Re-
view.
Many of the athletic sports, if pursued for
sport or as a recreation. are valuable reme-
dial helps, and aid toward physical improve
ment. Unfortunately. the spirit of emula-
ton i'm athletics, which in some common
communities has grown into intense rivalry,
is likely to lead to excuses in training
and practice for contests, which, unless
checked. and brought down to a rational
basis. may 90 more harm than good. Many
young men seem to think that because the
practice of athletics is favorable to health
the more they can get OF this practice the
better. This is an erroneous impression, for
les as it is in business, and a great many
young people do themselves injury by their
excessive zeal in the practice of competi-
tive exercise.
In this line of physical activity, as in any
other. there is a limit to human capabillty,
and il IS possible to develop the muscular
and nervous systems to the detriment of
the heart and lungs, or of the digestive syS-
TEN. But the conditions under which ath-
letics are usually practiced are so favor
able to the maintenance of health and Wig
or that few persons who were sound at the
time of commencing their athletic efforts
have injured themselves by the practice of
these vigorous exercises. 1t is true that a
DISTINGUISHED for .4leir supremacy In Ger
tain athletic events uied young. But the
number of young men who are now practice
ing athletic exercises in this country and
appearing in public contests Is very large.
as many as six or seven hundred entries be-
ing recorded in some OF the great city
meetings.

Triumph OF Electricity.
New York Letter.

-" O@
Last winter President Clark, of the New

A good deal of surprise was expressed at

ory as a reliance Tor TINS reihdlhduAe VI

To-day those who have seen Mr.. Clark re-
rort him to be very enthusiastic over the
result of an experimental trip made upon
one of the more important branches OF ms
road. He has used the third ran Tor the
swift and economical hauling OF an electri-
calIy propelled railway train.
The experiment showed ChaI tnere Woulu
he no difficulty in obtaining a speed OF sew
enty miles an hour and at an economy of
probably 80 per cent, so FAR as fuel Is con-
cfrnpd over steam locomotives.
Moreover. the experiment showed that a

region with a radius of twenty-five miles.
and perhaps a much larger one. The result

main line will be done by electrically pro-
