OCEAN VOYAGE ON DRY LAND.
The Novel CycIOra INA That Is Being
Built for the Paris ExpOsi-
tiOn of 1900.

One of the interesting sights of the
coming Paris exposition is the mareor-
ANA. the invention of VI. Hugo AIese.
The idea is to give the seeker after nov
city the opportunity to take real
steamer trip without loss of time or
strength. 1t is, in reality, an offshoot
from the cyclorama, which had such
run of popularity few years since.
In the mareorama one embarks on
board a real steamer-steamer chairs.
state-roOms. dining-room, bridge and
a surrounding eXpanse of green sea

that the yOyager is really saying good

One saunters about the deck, looking
and talking, arranging the details of
his comfort. Suddenly the big boat
begins 10 move--or seems to-which j.
the same thing, so psychologists say.
By an ingenious arrangement of ma
chinery the various movements of big
steamer putting out to sea are exactly
initiated. One can even be seasick if
desired. The plunge, the Shake. the
recovery. the up and down, lore anGall
motions are all given with startling
likeness. BY and by the scenery be

Sometimes the boat appears to stop.
and then all the hustle of landing, the
crowds of sight-seers, the interesting
going and coming Of belated travellers
and departing ones are initiated
In the mareorama which is to be put
on exhibition the boat is supposed to
start from Marseilles, and in turn Al
giers, Naples, Venice and CONSTANT
nople are to visited. Besides the nov
city of the sensations. the would-be
traveller will have an opportunity to OBJ
tain an accurate view .of the cities

A TERROR TO SNAKES.
The Secretary Bird of Africa Kills
and Eats the Most Poison
Gus Reptiles.

The secretary bird, native of AT

West Indian islands, is the king OF
snake destroyers, the lordliest bird
that walks. 1t is about four feet from
tip to tip, as swift on foot as on the

quick as the mongoose itself. 1t likes
to play with reptiles, to get them thor
oughly reused and then to swallow
them at leisure. 1t has long neck,
slender body, strong legs and power

along the sides Of the head and throat,
wings a brown black, thighs and alb
domen black, breast and tail coverts
white. The cere and bare skin about
the eyes are yellow and the legs and
feet dull flesh color. The bunch of
feathers behind it's ears gives it IT'S
name. The South Africans have do
mesticated it and made much of it's vir-
tues. 1t eats all sorts Of things, as
stomach analysis shows. This was
found in one stomach: Eleven lizards,
II tortoises, three snakes the size
of a mans arm and several handfuls of
assorted insects. When it is ready for
a bout it walks around the snake and
plays on the reptiles nerves of irrita-
tion. When the snake strikes the sec

ceives the blow on its powerful wing
After few strikes the reptile is tired

Census Facts From a Bath Tub.

Providence Journal.
One of the young men who are
calling upon the public for statistics
for the United States ceusus met
with an amusing incident Tuesday.
HIS district is IN the suburbs of the
city and calling at the house he rang
the bell several times without OBJ
timing any response. AS he was
going out Of the yard, however, he
noticed that the window were open
bu, screened, and as he passed bv
one of these feminine voice called !:
"Who's there? What's wanted 2"
"Pm taking the United States
census" replied the cnuhnera'or.
'Im taking a BATH" came the
quick response of the unseen voice.
Somewhat disconnected by this
reply, the enumeratOr announced
that he would call again.
"But can't answer your ques.
tions from here?' continued the
bather.
Finding that there were only two
In the family the enumerator thought
that she could. So,. sitting down
on the grass beneath the window,
with his book spread out upon his
KIN, cs for table, he asked her the
required questions through the win.
,iow and as the answers came from
behlnd the curtain they were entered
upon his schedule. His questions,
care You white or black?" .sMale
or female?" were answered with a
tone that Indicated that the enum-
e Tor ought to know without asking.
But then what could the poor fellow
do? He conldl.'t see the fair respon-
dent.

DID NOT DREAD DEATH.
Suicide became Moral Epidemic in
the Later Days of the RO-
man Empire,

Among the cultivated men and wom-
en- of the later Roman empire suicide
became sort of moral epidemic. says
the London Spectator. The fashionable
Stole doctrines, acting on a race which
had begun to degenerate and decline
and lose it's grip on life, killed the dread
of death. Men left the world for
whim, "only on the thought to do the
same thing over and over again" The
Christian doctrine that self-slaughter
is a sin did not affect them, and the no.
ton that there was something base in
quitting ones post was not yet born.
Dryden, in one of his dramas, contrasts
finely the feeling about suicide of the
ancient and modern world. The Rom
ans, he says, might discharge their
souls" and give them leave to enter the
other world. But we, like sentries, are
compelled to stand meath starless
skies and wait the appointed hour"
DR.. Goodhardt, speaking of the dread
of death, says: 81 am never tired of
saying, because | am sure it is as true
as it is comforting, although in oppo-
sition to the general belief, that death
has no terrors for the sick man. To
the living and healthy man it is quite
otherwise, but the sick man upon whom
death lays his hand pales gently and

A report to the Department o.

A report to the Department of
State from E. L. Harris, L. 5. Con-
sular agent at Eibenstock, serves to
call attention to the fact that Eng
land will be long ways from domi-
mating South Africa when the Boer
republics become British territory.
1t says: "German South West Af-
RIGA is probably the most important
OF all German colonies. 1t has a
territory two and one.half times
larger than Prussia and possesses a
climate similar TO that Of the Trans
vaal ard Cape Colony. The devel-
opment OF this colony depends some
what upon circumstances. A great
portion remains unexplored. Tie
port of Swakopmund, together with
Walfsch Bay, forms the finest har-
tor on the west coast of Africa. 1t
Is probably destined to outstrip Cape
Town in time; for with a railroad
through 10 Pretoria and steamship
lines to Europe and America, Cape
Town will lose an immense amount
of traffic destined for the interior of
Africa"
No surprise was felt In Washing
ton when 1t was announced that the
Philippine Commission, now at Ma
Mia, had gone far enough IN It's
work to discover that about thsli
most important problem will be
what to do with the frlars and their
large holding of property. A strong
native element has been from the
hosting of the American flag de-
mandlng the expulsion of the friars
and the conhscatlon of their proper
ty, but 1t Is not likely that the COM
mission would give its sanction to
anything as extreme as that would

And earth Is all attuned to make you glad;
Where life and love, like butterflies awning,

And sunbeams glow, and happy robins sing

Wen count it Eden just to linger there,
Among the lovely things that Nature planned
To lend the world its one surcease from

And bright and blue the sky will arch above,

Aud every bud will be thing to love,
Among the roses.
Dear heart, OH let me teach the JOY TO you
The glad world holds, In spite OF griefs tna'

And you will find the twilight's tears OF dew
Are hidden In the sweetest buds OF all.

'IrrigatiOn of land is an art that
has existed for many centuries
previous to any authentic written
history. The traditions of the
Chinese people are very ancient,
and irrigation is mentioned in their
most ancient traditional history, as
being extensively practiced. In
Egypt, Syria, and the ancient
Kingdoms of Eastern Asia, agricul-
ture depended almost wholly upon
irrigation, and still so depends in
these lands where the people have
survived the political changes of
thousands of years. Virgil in his
rural poems thus describes exactly
the processes which are followed
now. she leads the stream and
flowing rivulets, to the growing
corn. and when the burnt field
dries up, the herbs dying, he leads
the water and cOols the parched
fields with rilIs.' The irrigation of
gardens, vineyards, and fields, is
frequently referred to in the Scrip
lures. one of the earliest books
speaks of it and one of the pro
phets refers to burrows OF the
plantation

Bishop Fallows' parody, wherein he
made man express a longing to be a
kicker" rather than an angel, contains
deeper note than appears to the SUI
perfcial observer, says the Chicago
Tribune. 1t is the cry of the age-the
masculine cry-and one for which
there Is the hope of an earthly con.
summation. Man already stands with
the ''kickers," and it Is natural that
he should desire to be among them in
the world TO come. Moreover, the
bishops parody is a protest against the
inanity of angels. 1t is not, as the
author declares, that humankind feel
that the wish to be an angel is a too
modest expression of their souls long
ing, but simply that the insipidity of
angels, their clOying perfection and
negative goodness, excite revolt rather
than admiration. 1t is so in fiction,
and the sanity Agnes in Dickens "Da-
vid COpperfeld' richly merits the an
tlpathy of u great critic like Saints
bury, who, when he CHANGED upon the
assertion that Agnes is perhaps the
most charming character in the whole
range of fiction" declared that no de-
cent violence of expletive, no reason
able artifice of Typography, could eX-
press the depths of his feeling. Mod
ern readers do yawn over Agnes and
over Amelia Sedley, and 1t was not the
latter lady who received the tribute of
friend, Becky Sharp. So 1t is well for
man to recognize that his place is
among-the protestors-and that nose
gears rather than crowns must become
him.
