NOT A KICK.

THE OASIS may be always found on file at the Union League Club in New York, the Boston Public Library, and in the chambers of commerce and mining exchanges in many large cities of the United States. Every year this journal contributes steadily to the good work of making known to the world the opportunities for invest ment in the region tributary to Nogales, by sending gratuitously copies of the paper to such places as above indicated. This is done at a cost of considerable number of dollars annually. Several i'm portant business undertakings in Southern Arizona and Sonora can be traced directly to seed thus sown. Of the various business in- terests in Nogales which have been brought business by this work all have profted more or less-none less than the newspaper doing the work. Yet there are business men in the town who have prohted as the result of this work who be gruge paying small amount monthly to support so potent an instrument for good. This is not kick" it is simply plain state ment of facts.

By SPANISH and Mexican law the ownership of land does not con vey the minerals beneath the sur face. But the United States has applied to Spanish and Mexican land grants the English common law that the owner of the surface holds everything underneath to the center of the earth, and the space above so high as he can get. This accounts for the vigor with which grant claimants fight for what seems worthless lands.

SILT DANCING.

The Chinese Celebrate Feitich wors1Ip
with OuadriIes on Clothes Props.
The Chinese, in the interior dis
tricts, where fetichism is still the pre-
vailing religion, celebrate all their fes-
tlval days by dancing on stills. The
entire population, from the child Just
able to toddle to the gray-haired gram
father, mount on long poles and parade
around the town, shouting, singing
and throwing flowers. No one can be
excused, as the unbelievers are merci-
lessly punished~-SOue French and
English tourists recently came upon a
crowd of this kind near the village Of
Newchwang, in the extreme south
western portion of the empire. Their
arrival was unexpected by the Orien-
tails, who took it as very rude on the
part of the Europeans to intrude on
such holy day. A turbulent mob Of
perhaps 500 rushed on the Caucasians,
who numbered but a score, to do them
mischief. It was impossible to distin-
guish sexes, as all wore rude masks
made of straw mats, So the travellers
quietly knocked the sticks from un-
der a few dozen Of the foremost, and,
bouncing on them as they pumped to
the ground, administered sound
beating. The rest finally made off.
Had the Celestials been on foot, the
affair might have resulted seriously.
AS it was, by the time the majority
could get their feet united from the
awkward stills, the unsanctif1ed in
truders were far away.

my only hope

there was whizzing sound in the air,

together.

A Sea Flower Deadly to Fish.

The opelet, one of the most ex-
quisite wonders of the sea, is deadly
to fishes. It is about as large as a
German aster, looking, indeed, very
much like one. Imagine a very large
double aster, with ever so many petals
OF light green, glossy as satin, and
each one tipped with rose-color. These
lovely~petals do not lie quietly in their
place, like those Of the aster in your
garden, but wave about in the water,
while the opelet generally clings to a
rock. How lovely anG innocent it. looks
On it's rocky bed! Who would suspect
that it would eat anyt hing grosser than
dew or sunlight? But those beautiful
waving arms, as you call them, have
other uses besides looking pretty. They
have to provide food for large mouth,
which is hidden deep down among
them-so well hidden that one can
scarcely find it. Well do they perform
their duty, for the instant a foolish
little fish touches one of the rosy TIPS
he is struck with poison as fatal to
him as lightning. He Immediately be-
comes numbed, and in a moment stops
struggling; and then the other beau
tltul arms wrap themselves about him,
and he is drawn into the huge greedy
mouth, and is seen no more. Then the
lovely arms unclose and wave again
IN the water, looking as innocent and
harmless as though they had nevey
touched fish.

BATTLE IN scHooLRooM.
Rival Hosts Of Ants Force Teacher an,

Rival Hosts Of Ants Force Teacher and
q Scholars to Incontlnent1y Flee. B5 1
: A missionary who is in charge Of the
Catholic school at Myala,on Lake Tan
ganyika, Africa, tells Of an extraordi-
nary battle between ants in his school
room, which the pupils and their teach
er were compelled to abandon in haste
when the invading foe appeared on
the scene. The deserted room became
the theater of a holly contested battle
between the ants that had their homes
In the cracks of the stone walls and
another species which advanced to the
fight from the fields. The; thousands
OF ants living in the walls are known
to the natives as MasumboIo. They are
very large and black, and as it is al
most impossible to get rid OF them,
and they have the excellent quality of
letting human beings alone, Little at
tention is paid to them. The invading
ants were not more than A. third as
large as the other species. They are
called Siafou and are nomads and
thieves by nature. When they discov-
cred the home Of the peaceful black in
sects they felt certain that a rich booty
OF larvae awaited them and lost no
time in advancing to the attack. Their
squadrons moved forward in close
lilies. They clambered up the doorsteps
and into the room, moving very rapidly
and began the fercest sort of an at
tack upon the enemy, whom they sur
prised. at home, engaged in their
peaceful occupations. Though the
Masumbolo are so, much larger than
their fierce little enemies, they could
not stand against these formidable
aggressors, who are most effectively
armed with the sharpest and hottest of
pincers. So the attacked insects made
scarcely any resistance, but gathered
up as much Of their larvae as they
could carry and fled at the TOP Of
their speed. They fairly carpeted the
floor as they moved toward the doors,
while their conquerors lost no time in
further attack upon the unresisting
fugitives, but began~to pillage the city
that had been SO suddenly abandoned.
A few minutes later, however, the Sia-
fou paid very dearly for the raid they
had made. Dozens of the schoolgirl
dren applied wisps of burning straw
to the cracks which the conquering
ants had entered and burned them at
the very place of their victory.

Brownie Bicycle.

A Matchmaker in New York has
made the smallest bicycle in the world
He topk two years on the job, and al
though there is no chance for remu-
neraton is nightly pleased with the
outcome. The tiny wheel has all the
attachments of an ordinary bicycle,
has damp that will shed light on the
accustS med bracket, and would, if some
brownie could from the fairy world be
tempted up to ride it, spit about a
tea table at humming gait. It stands
one inch in diameter, with regular
pneumatic tubes, and sports a real
spring on the saddle. The cranks are
three-eighths of an inch long. while
the tread is only one-fourth. The en-
tire machine can be deposited in a
postage stamp case, and weighs less
than an ounce.

To Instruct Artisans.

Hanover is to establish a series OF
lectures and demonstrations for the
instruction of artisans and apprentices
in all trades, and if they are found sue
cessful they will be instituted through
out the empire. There are to be model
workshops, and exhibitions of tools and
machinery, together with instruction
in bookkeeping and in making esti-
mates. The first course of lectures will
be to cabinetmakers, locksmiths, shoe
makers and tailors, other trades being
taken up one after another, the inten-
ton being that higher instruction in all
shall be placed within reach of every
learner or operative.

Summer and Winter Clouds:

Many must have noticed that in
winter time the sky seems to lack the
roominess and lofty arching of sum-
mer. It appears on cloudy, or partially
cloudy days, to be nearer the earth
than is the case on similar days dur
ing the summer months. That this ap-
pearance is no Pigment of the magma
ton is shown by recent Investigations
made at the Upsala Observatory on the
elevation, of clouds. 1t is found that
all varieties of clouds float at a much
greater altitude in summer than in
winter The months Of greatest ele-
walton, at least in Sweden, are June
and July.

suvius originated in submarine volcanic
vents, and grew to their present d.
mansions by the gradual accumulation
OF the materials thrown out around
their bases, and also by the elevation
OF the land on which they stand.
Graham's island was thrown up in 1881
during a volcanic eruption in. the Med
iterranean at spot where there had
previously been a depth of about 100
fathoms of water. 1t attained height
of obout 200 feet above sea level. An
other island was thrown up in the
sea amongst the Aleutian group in
1896.
