Her Pleasing Fault
DELAGOA BAY.
at This Time Because Of the
Transvaal War.

Delagoa bay was discovered by
Vasco de Cana in 1902, and explored
40 years later by Portuguese officer
named Capt. Lorenzo Marquee. Until
the beginning of the present century
Portugal exercised more or less nom
inal sovereignty over the bay as well
as over the entire coast line of Africa,
but had completely abandoned its
posts and trading stations on the east
coast when in 1923 Capt. Cunliffe-
Owen, of the royal navy, obtained
from native chiefs a cession of Della
goa bay to Great Britain. England
founded town on the bay, to which
was given the name of Bombay. and
in 1867 Portugal refounded immediate
ly opposite the town of Lorenzo Mar
quez, on the ruins of the old-time
trading station of that name. In 1860
the Portuguese concluded a CONNER
cial treaty with the South African re-
public, and this brought to an acute
stage the dispute as to the ownership
OF Delagoa bay. The question was re-
ferred to the arbitration of the presi-
dent of the French republic, the Eng
lish resting their case on the conces-
sions obtained by Capt. Cunliffe-Owen.
In 1876 Marshal MacMahon, then chief
magistrate of France, gave an award
il. favor of Portugal, which was loyal
ly accepted by England, an agreement,
however, being concluded between the
two nations, according to which Eng
land secured from Portugal prefer
entail right to all Of her territory
south of the Zambesi, that is to say
including Delagoa bay.
For time one heard but little of
Delagoa bay, and then the place was
once more brought on the tapis by
the conflict which arose in connection
with the railroad, now running from
Lorenzo Marquee to Pretoria. The
Transvaal portion of the line was built
by German capitalists, while the 40
miles of Portuguese territory were
constructed by an American conces-
sionaire, Col. McMurdo, with the help
of English capital. Before the line

Bicycles In War.


The present campaign in South At
RIGA is practically the first opportunity
the military authorities have had of
putting the cycle corps to a real test.
As scouts and skirmishers they have
proved most useful. The cyclist corps
attached TO the Durham light infantry
recently covered route of 90 miles in
one day for the purpose of obtaining
information of the Boer forces, doing
no small amount of fighting on the
way. The rapidity of their movement
startles the enemy, who ought to be
unable to cope with the tactics cycle
corps adopts. They seem able to get
away with most anything, however,

The pessimist is always looking back
ward to the dead and despotic past for
rules of action, for criterions to fol-
low, for authority for usage and GUS
tom. The world is all right to him.
He has no ambition to improve meth
ods and customs. He is conservative
aud proud of it. If slavery exists in
any form, il tyranny oppresses, if
kings rule, If property crushes, it is
something ordained of God and must
not be questioned. He lives in the
present governed by the rules of the
past. The optimist is looking forward,
he longs for something better in every
department of life; he is not satisfied
with the machine he works with, but
thinks out something better; he is not
pleased with the injustice and would
abolish it; he condemns crude aud
foolish social relations and teaches
higher ideals; he is crucitied on the
cross pessimists prepare for him, and
is later deified by the conservative
class of later generations who have ad-
vanced a peg. And this is repeated
from generation to generation. The
dominant parties, classes, creeds and
customs always hang like milestone
around the neck Of progress. Hence it
is that the world progresses so slowly
toward the observation-disclosures.

c. T. Neel, who has charge Of the
Sierritas lead group, says there is re.
uarkable cave on the west side of the
Sierrita mountains. Neel and fellow
prospector entered the cave aud ex-
plored it for the distance Of a mile,
when they came to drop off, the depth
of which is unknown. Some of the
old miners OF the section have super
stitious ideas regarding thie cave. One
story which is vouched for by several
miners is that prospector once eE-
tered the cave and never returned.
What became of him no one knows,
but many claim that the noises ema-
mating from the cave are made by him
drilling and blasting in search of the
precious metals. Mr.. Neel says that
be has frequently heard these noises,
and more than once he has been asked
by people passing the cave who was
working in there.--Arizona Star.

ART OF CONVERSATION.
Mrs. Burton EfnEsland Tells What Things
TO Say aud what Things 20 Leave
Unsafd.

It is better to be frankly dull than
Pedsntic.
One must guard ones self from the
temptation OF stalking shop" and of
riding ones shObby."
Whatever sets one apart as a capital
ST" should be avoided.
A joke or humorous story is depend
ent upon its freshness for apprecia-
ton. Some emotions will not bear
Awsrming over"
It is no longer considered good form
to say a word against anyone. An i'll
natured criticism is a social blunder.
Gossip, too, is really going out Of
fashion.
True wit is a gift, not an attainment
Those who use it Alright never yield to
the temptation Of saying anything
that can wound another in order to
exhibit their own cleverness. 1t is ma
tural and spontaneous. @He who runs
after wit is apt to catch nonsense"
Talk that has heartiness Ia it and
the liyeliness and sparkle that come Of
lightheartedness aud innocent gayety
is q fairly good substitute for wit.
Offer to each one who speaks the
homage Of your undivided attention
Look people in the face when you talk
TO them.
Talk Of things, not persons. The
best substitute for wisdom is silence.
It is prOvincialism to say Syes, sir, .
"nO, ma'am," to ones equal.
Have convictions of your one. Be
yourself and not a mere echo.
Never ask leading questions. We
should show curiosity about the con-
Germs Of others only so far as it may
crafty them to tell Us.
Draw out your neighbor without
catechizing him. Correct him, if nee
essary without cOntradicting him
Avoid mannerisms.
Strive TO be natural and at ease
The nervousness that conceals itself
under affected vivacity should be con
trOlled, as should the loud laugh

"There is one picturesque thing
about the west which is rapidly going
out Of existence. ] mean the sod house
of Kansas" said A'AIvord n. Penwick,
Of Wichita, in the lobby Of the St
James, to the Washington Post. There
are sod houses in other parts Of the
west Of course, but I an only familiar
with those Of my own state. These
structures are as strong and much
cheaper than brick. The farmer cuts
the sod for building purposes just as
the sod is cut for transplantIng grass.
The buffalo grass, which grows in al
most all the middle western states, is
like q thick mat, and is very tough
heritage. The slabs Of sod, about Is
by q inches and four inches thick,
hold together like thick rolls Of felt.
They are laid in courses like the or
binary building stone, and pressed
closely together, and the roof is made
Of timbers and frequently thatehed-
The inside is then smOothed' with ma
tive lime which makes an excellent
plaster. The coating Of lime is some
times applied outside also, but usually
these sod houses present the natural
dun color Of the prairics In the winter.
Sometimes the floor Of the house is
made BY eXoaFating q few feet and
then trsmping the ground solid with
horses; otherwise, q regular wood floor
is laid. The door and window frames
are fitted in while bRiIding, as in stone
houses. They only have one room,
generally, but somstimss two or three
rooms are fitted up. The elements
tend to make the sod one mass rather
than TO dissipste and orombIe IT. An

80 ID - A1titudes.

Tt is we'll known that the chemical
composition Of the atmosphere differs
but little. if at all, wherever the sample
be taken; whether it be on the high
Alps or at the surface of the sea, the
relation Of oxygen to nitrogen and
other constituents is the same. The
favorable effects, therefore, of a change
Of air are not to be explained by any
difference in the proportion Of its gas
eOus constituents. One important diff
ference, however, is the meteorological
one. The air OF high attitudes con-
tains no microbes, and is, in fact,
sterile, while near the ground and
some 100 feet above it microbes are alb
undant.
In the air in towns and crowded
places not only does the mierobic i'm
purity increase, but other impurities,
such as the products Of combustion Of
coal, accrue also. Several investigators
have found traces Of hydrogen and
Hydrocarbons in the air, and especially
in the air of pine, oak and birch
forests. 1t is to these bodies, doubtless
consisting Of traces Of essential oils, to
which the curative effects of certain
health resorts are ascribed. Thus the
locality OF a FIR forest is said to give
relief in diseases of the respiratory
tract. But all the same these traces
Of essential oils and aromatic products
must be counted, strictly speaking, as
impurities, since they are not appar-
emily necessary constituents Of the
air. AS recent analysis have shown,
these bodies tend to disappear in the
air as q higher altitude is reached,
until they disappear altogether. It
would seem, therefore, that microbes,
hydrocarbons and entities other than
oxygen and nitrogen, and perhaps We
should add argOn, are only incidental
