A FLOATING SNAIL.
An Interesting Little Creature Thas Safely Sails While Great
 Ships Sink.

There ia n small snail which ia so fond of the sea that 1t never comes te land, and 1t builds such capital boat for itself and Its eggs that while large ships arc sinking and steamers are un- able to face the storm it losses about In perfect safety. says tho Philadelphia Press.
 The little snail is of violet color and is therefore called Innthina. It has small shell and there projects from the under part of the body long. tongue-like piece of flesh. This is the raft, and 1t is built upon most scientific principles, for 1t has compartments in It for air. 1t is broad and the mir com partments are underneath, 90 that 1t cannot capsize.
 Moreover, the snail knows how to stow away its cargo. for the oldest eggs and those which hatch the scon- est are placed in the center and the lightest and newest on the sides of the .. raft. The Ianthina fills Its own aiI compartments by getting globule of air underneath it's head, the body is then curved downward beneath the raft, and, the head being tilted on one side, the air rushes in and fills the spaces. It feeds on q beautiful little jelly fish, which has flat, raft-like form with a pretty little sail upon it and they congregate in multitudes when the sea Is calm.
 Sometimes specimens are washed
 upon the northwestern coast of France and when they are handled they giv' out violet dye.

 IN THE ARCTIC CIRCLE.
The Possfbtutics Developed in tn" Extreme North in Late
 Yeara.

The close of the century discloses for the first time in the worlds history practical purpose to develop the re- .ources of the Arctic circle, says Les lies Weekly. The discovery of gold in the Klondike has sent food of immi- grants into q territory which was sup posed to be almost nninhabitable. And now scientists of Great Britain are nak- ing n careful investigation of enormous deposits of iron ore some distance from Stockholm, Sweden, within the area in- .luded Tn the Arctic circle. These new ere fields are apparently of linitless extent and of the greatest possible .nlue to the iron industry of Great Britain, which is rapidly finding itself unable to compete with the cheap prod- uots of American ore. These Swedish deposits are said to be among the most saluable ever discovered on either con- tinent.,
 Following the discovery of gold i'll Alaska. this may be taken as an lndica- ton that the mineral wealth of the Arctic regions may ultimately lead to the establishment of large population ,, in those parts of the world nearest the north pole, which have hitherto been little explored, because of their inhos- pitable climate. An ingenious philoso- pher has outlined the theory that the precious metals of the world will be I found in greatest abundance in tho Arctic regions. because. when the world was a molton mass, revolving on It's axis, the tendency of all metals waa. naturally. toward the axis or the poles. and that when the plastic mass solidl- 1 fled the gold and silver were concon- ,rated near the polea.

 sI have been asking myself lately some rather serious qnes tlons, and want to put one or two oi them to you. Is there any reason why the negroes ID the South should continue to oppose the Southern white man and his polltIcs1 Is this not the source of nearly all our troubles' un- consciously we seem to have got ten the idea into our blood and bones that we are only acting m a manly way when we oppose South- ern white men with our votes. In some way, by some method, we 1 must bring the race to the point where 1t will cease to feel that the only way for 1t to succeed IS 10 oppose everything suggested or put forth by the Southern white men. This consider one of our real problems. believe that there are thousands of white Dem' ocrats in North Carolina who are 70 per cent better friends to the nepro than Governor Russell. acd II see no necessity in continuing to follow Governor Russell, who has no power to protect, or II he has the power, does not exercise IT. rather than these other white men who can protect us II we cease to continually and forever to op . pose them.

MILLIONS OF TOADS ON \ MARCH

For more than week there has
been an army of small toads going di-
rectly north past this point, following
the gravel roadbed of the Sioux City
& Pacific Railway. They move night
and day and stay right on the road
bed, are from the size of the end joint
of mans little finger to the size of
the end joint of a mans thumb. They
seem to be in very steady volume of
from twenty to fifty per minute, pass
ing at the rate of ten TO twelve feet per
minute. Each toad jumps twice or
three times, then rests from three TO
five seconds and repeats the act, and
there seems to be no end of their
coming.
Looking north or south along the
rOadbed, they can be seen for several
rods as they hop through the air. If
any are diverted by person or train
for short time from their course, in
another moment after the obstruction
is gone they are going north again.
This army is for several miles in I'M
broken extent and under constant
marching orders and numbers tens of
millions. On the highway they are
also moving east and west from the
fields, the first north and south road
they turn into and all go north. but
the greater volume is upon the railway
tracks-St. Paul Pioneer Press.

During the winter of 1897 Mr.. James
Reed, one of the leading citizens and
merchants OF Clay, Clay Co., w. Va,
struck his leg against a cake OF ice in
such a manner as to bruise it severe
ly. 1t became very much swollen and
panied him so badly that he could not
walk without the aid of crutches. He
was treated by physicians, also used
several kinds of liniments and two
and a half gallons of whisky in bath
ing it. but nothing gave any relief
until he began using Chamberlain's
Pain Balm. This brought almost a
complete cure in a weeks time and
he believes that had he not used this
remedy his leg would have had to be
amputated. Pain Balm is unequaled
for sprains, bruises and rheumatism.
