The Gemsbok.

The gemsbok, a species OF antelope
abounds on the dry yet fertile plains
Of South Africa, where 1t feeds on the
bulbs OF water-root and ether kinds Of
succulent vegetation. by means Of
which the antelopes Of these regions
are able to subsist for months together
without water. This antelope IS
large and powerful animal measuring
about five feet in length and over three
feet in height at the shoulders. It's
horns are situated on the same plane
with its forehead; they exceed two feet
In length, are almost straight, little d.
yerging and are obscurely ringed
throughout their lower half. The color
of the upper part Of the body is a rusty
gray and OF the under part white. while
these are separated from each other by
a welI-defned black band on each side
These bands unite on the breast, aud
are continued as single black band
until reaching the lower jaw. when they
again divide and form two transverse
bands on the head. terminating at the
base Of the horns The head other
wise Is white, as are also the limbs
with the exception Of the thighs, which
are black. The striking appearance
presented by this antelope is In great
measure due 20 the absence OF any
blending in the different colors OF its
body. The gemsbok avoids woods. liy-
ing in the open plains in pairs or la
small groups OF four or five Possess
ing poweTful weapons OF attack ia It's
long, spear-like horns, and with ample
courage to use them. the gemsbol, par
ticularly when wounded. is a formida-
Bile antagonist. both TO men and the
numerous beasts Of prey found in that
region. II makes such good use Of it's
horns as sometimes even to beat on the
lordly lion.

Constant Enort of the Army and Navy
to surpass Each other.
"Navy?" said Mr.. George Hone Of ST.
Paul to a Washington Post man. why,
we have no such thing in this coun-
try. We have been fooling ourselves
with the pretense that we were build
ing up navy. when. in fact. we were
only building up a lot Of rich ship
builders and armor makers. Tho funny
thing about IL Is that every blatant
lingo who wants to talk about patriot
ism begins to eXtol our navy. But he is
entirely ignorant of the fact that we
have at last reached the point when
we are forced to reverse our entire
policy. For years we have been pour
ing out millions on two branches OF
the service. The constructors have been
trying to build ships that would defy
the best ordnance At the same time
the ordnance officers have been vast
ing millions in casting and forging
guns that would pierce the thickest
armor. At last we have a gun that
will punch a hole through forty-fOur
inches of the best armOr and the con-
structors now are brought face to face
with the fact that they cannot carry
any thicker armor and are trying to
find some way to build a ship with less
armor that will be able to dodge the
shot of the big guns II requires lit
tie acumen TO see that this is the
logical rC7ult of the efforts that have
been made by the so-called civilized
nations for tho last twenty-five years.
We have simply followed along in the
wake Of the others because we could
not brave the declaration made by in
terested parties that we were not up
to date l am tired and sick OF the
whole thing and wish we could have a
congress and administration that would
recognize the folly OF the policy we
have been pursuing. On the very ships
that have been made the pretext OF
drawing from the peoples treasury en-
ormous sums in bonuses for alleged
speed beyond contract we have placed
officers who now discover that their
vessels can never be safely sent far be-
yond the dry-docks in which they spend
more than half their time"

Men who can find their way through
boundless forests and over trackless
plains may easily be lost in the streets
of a large city. a truth Of which the
Toledo Blade gives an amusing ex-
ample. On the last trip OF the City OF
Mackinac with a cargo of horses for a
local lumber firm came a backwoOds-
man. He had a great reputation as
"land-looker" Without a compass, by
the bark and moss on the trees, he
had been known to traverse a quarter
section without diverging twenty feet
from the straight line from stake to
stake. He had heard much OF the city,
and thought he should like TO see some
of the wonderful things hat he had
been told about. He found work at
once, his duties being TO deliver lum-
Der to the retail trade about the city.
The first day a man was sent with him
to show him the way about the town.
The next day he was sent out alone, and
did not return, and in the evening was
found on the outskirts Of the town
with his load Of lumber, so completely
lost and unhappy that he had decided
to stay there all night. Three times
he was sent TO deliver lumber, and
three times he was found in another
part OF the city. Finally he asked his
employer for transportation home
Said he, Il do not like these places
where the sun changes its position
every five minutes. and one street IS
made to go in four or five different
directions"

lie laws passed by the 68th Legislature
of Maine, together with the titles of al
the public and private acts and re-
solves passed by that body. A new
feature, which we think will be appre-
ciated by the Journal readers, is an
index by subjects, of the public laws OF
1897. This is something never before
attempted by g. Maine newspaper. and
we predict that it will prove of such
convenience that the public will insist

Helping to Bear the Brunt Of Il.

In the unprecedented hustle of the
closing days of the Legislature a good
share of the brunt was borne by those
whose efforts and especially their per-
plexities were not visible to the public
eye. The secretary of the Senate, Mr..
Dunbar, and his assistant. Mr.. Butler;
the clerk of the House, Mr.. Cotton, and
his assistant, Mr.. Thompson, may have
seemed to the visitor in attendance
upon the closing sessions to be calmly
dispcsing of matters by some easy
method, not quite apparent, but which
saved them from all worry Or hurry.
Never were appearances more deceiv-
ing. The duties of these positions are
exacting throughout the session. How
much more so during such a rush, as
that in which the 6Sth Legislature went
out, only the officers themselves can
appreciate. The work they perform
while session is in progress is really
a small part of their duties. Early and
late are their hours and they cannot cali
in assistance as the work accumulates;
they must attend to it themselves. The
utmost accuracy is required in those
departments. Nothing can be allowed
to divert the mind from doing just
what has to be done at the proper time,
and if there be a moment not so occu-
pied there are innumerable demands
upon them. The recording officers of
precedent in the amount of the work
accomplished in so brief a time and
throughout it all have remained the
courteous, obliging officials, SO de-
servedly popular with all.
