cayed vegetable matter it holds in So
luton.
To these natural drawbacks must be
added the opposition of the Indians,
which the explorer soon finds he has
to deal with very seriously. Not that
they are hostile in the ordinary sense.
They offer no physical resistance to
the white mans advance. On the con-
trary, they retire before him. That
is just the trouble. Little or no help
can be procured, no native provisions
ore furnished, and when carriers are Sc
cured they desert at some we'll timed
critical moment, carrying off what
ever they can, and thus compelling the
explorers to retreat. This is the common
experience, but it applies more par
ticularly to those explorers who have
striven to violate the sacred mystery
of Roraima, which the Indians guard
with religious fanaticism. 4

the traditional mystery that has ever

Ships Boats.

In nearly every case Of hipwreck-
and unhappily we have had many OF
them of late years--it is common to
read of the difficulty with which the
boats were lowered; and it is no ex-
agegration to assert that if these boats
were in readiness for instant use, and
could be lowered into the water easily,
hundreds of lives would be saved. Any
one who has made a coasting trip or
crossed the channel on an ordinary
steam vessel must have noted, how the
boats are disposed, carefully covered
with tarpaulin, kept inboard, and with
the appearance Of not having been
touched for months. It is easy, to
imagine how the only means of escape
from a sinking vessel is vitiated by this
state of unpreparedness. To quote two
instances; there is first, the wreck of
the Drummond Castle, the inquiry into
which elected the information that
1.-THE boats were not kept fit and ready
for use, but swung inboard and resting
on chocks;" and, second, there is the
more recent case Of the Mohegan, in
which the same slamentable state of
affairs seemssto have obtained We Hold

unknown conditions with . longing
eye, and hence many attempts have
been made during the present century
to scale its forbidden precipices. For
one reason and anot Their, partly physical,
but chiefly due to the opposition Of
the Indians, even to the point, as q
last resort-and an effective one Of
wholesale burglary Of the climbing
equipment, these explorations always
failed in their object. Mr.. Thurn,
the late curator Of the Guiana muse
UNI, barely gained the summit lodges,
making no explorations. One or two
others subsequently did as much, but
no more, the Indian prejudices having
been to some extent overcome since
the partial opening up of the country
by the influx of gold hunters. ~. /
It remained for Messrs. Mcconnell
and Quelch, the latter being the mu-
scum curator, to finally rend the veil
and reveal all there was to be known
about the mountain. The revelation,
while scientifically disappointing and
even almost barren, as it has proved, il
not without a certain interest. At
any rate, as already intimated, it has
solved one more geographical problem.
The world now knows for the first
time that the majestic walls of Roraima
encircle no lost Ell Dorado, no curious
relics of primeval race, nor even some
new and isolated species of animals,
insects and reptiles. The table-land
around which center the legends of the
wizard prince Ell Dorado and his en-
chanted capital of the same name,
proves to be nothing but an elevated
wilderness of rocks, intersected with
pools and springs that support stunt
ed, sparse vegetation, and are the re-
mote progenitors of the mighty Caroni
and the mightier Essequebo.
This was the second attempt of Nc
Connell and Quelch to ascend the
Mountain of Mysteries" and the ar
rangements were very complete. Yet
they nearly failed again, and but for
their determination and pluck would
have done so. The expedition started
from Georgetown on August 2Olast, and
returned on November 1s, the journey
having thus occupied just three months.
A roundabout route, via the Mazaruni
was chosen as more promising than
the direct way up the Essequebo and
across the savannas followed on their
first trip. This was on account of be:
ing able to secure the cooperation OF
English miners, who secured wood
skins from the Indians from them and
had hutS constructed and in a. meas
ure, paths cut where necessary. Thus
facilitated, and travelling indirectly to-
ward their objective, Indian suspicion
was disarmed and opposition obviated
Even so, however, great deal Of
trouble was encountered, and it was

the base of the mountain ready to at.

In territory rich in South American
Indian legends and stone-age relics.
Scattered about the adjacent savanna
lands are the numerous mysterious
"timehri," or engraved rocks, of which
I wrote on former occasion; and
about the mountain itself hangs a
cloud of legends which make it the
most venerated material object within
the knowledge of the natives.
Roraima proper, and the lesser sim
liar mountains that share the name
but not the mystery, are the culminat-
ing point of the great Pacaraima
range, which runs from the Essequebo
river, in latitude four degrees north to
the Sierra Parma, from east to west.
The group is of primitive formation,
and doubtless upreared its peaks to
heaven in that far primordial age when
Guiana of to-day was an island, and
the great South American continent
was not. The main peak, or rather ta-
bleland, is situated in latitude degrees,
minutes, 30 seconds north, and longi-
tude GO degrees, II minutes west, ris-
ing to an altitude of $500 feet above
the sea and 5000 feet above the savanna
level, the upper 1900 feet presenting a
mural precipice which has been de-
scribed as more striking than any
thing else of the sort in the world.'
The group extends rs miles northwest
to southeast, and the numerous cas-
cades and even considerable waterfalls
pouring down their sides feed the great
tributaries of the Orinoco and Esse-
quebo and the Amazon, for the chain
forms the true watershed of the two
former rivers on the north and the lat
ter on the south.
The mere reaching of Roraima is
in itself quite feat of exploration. It
traverses wide region of savannas,
which was in prehistoric times the bed
OF vast inland sea, the original of the
legendary Lake Parimaon, near to or
perhaps in the midst of which stood
the golden city of enchantment, Ell
Dorado, which kindled the fire of the
chivalric Raleigh and enticed hundreds
of adventures of old nations to their
death. This region is surrounded by
dense primeval forests, teeming with
savage wild beasts and lethal reptiles,
and traversed by cataract-broken riv-
ers and treacherous crevasses. There
is little or no food to be had, and, for
the most part, the water is positively

CAPITOL BUILDING, SALEH, OREGON.
d A Letter From the Executive Office Of OREGON.

Pe-ru-na is known from the Atlantic
to the Pacific. Letters of congratula-
ton and commentator ,testifying to
the merits of Pe-ru-na as catarrh rem
edy are pouring in from every state in
the Union. DR.. Hartman is receiving
hundreds of such letters daily. All
classes write these letters, from the
highest to the lowest. 4
The outdoor laborer, the indoor arti-
san, the clerk, the editor, the statesman,
the preacher-all agree that Pe-ru-na is
the catarrh remedy of the age. The
stage and rostrum, recognizing catarrh
as their greatest enemy, are especially
enthusiastic in their praise and testi-
mony. a.
Any man who wishes perfect health
must be entirely free from catarrh. Ca
tarrh is well-nigh universal; almost
omnipresent. Pe-ru-na is the only alb
solute safeguard known. A cold is the
beginning of catarrh. To prevent colds,
to cure colds, is to cheat catarrh out of
its victims. Pe-ru-na not only cures ca
tarrh, but prevents. Every household
should be supplied with this great rem
edy for coughs, colds and so forth.

admirer Of Pe-ru-na. He keeps it con-
