having returned to work in the various
mines. Several cases of minor dis.

None of his family was injured. The
temper of the miners who are still

OCTOPUS AS A FIGHTER,
Battle Between Two Grewsome Sight
 ostend Oyster Beds Ruined by Them

Battle Between Two Grewsome Sight Ostend Oyster Beds Ruined by Them
 plague of the octopus is reported at Ostend. and the age-famous oyster beds of that resort are in serious dan ger. This visitation is unusual, for the octopus is usually found in the gulf of Mexico, along the coast of southern California, or in Alaskan waters. Some of those in the gulf measure as much as twenty-one feet across the body, their arms stretching out infinitely it seems, to their prey. They do not at- tack men as rule, but there have been many fierce combats when an unfortun- ate fisherman happened to hook one. An ichthyologist has only lately made a study Of small octopus three feet in diameter. It was placed in tank, and the scientist put in one finger. Im- mediateIy one of the eight great feelers came toward it, followed by the others. These feelers, armed with powerful suckers, attached themselves firmly to the mans finger and hand, and made no further movement until he tried to withdraw it. Then they held all the tighter and the little mouth spouted forth it's inky fluid to a distance of two feet. At last he released his hand with an effort and tried to touch the body of the octopus. As he did so it changed colors in rapid succession, passing from black to yellow, and then seemed to be all covered with black spots. Another octopus of the same size was placed in the tank, and then was a battle royal. The sixteen arms yrithed and twisted, the water was stained black by the elected fluid, and it was a thrilling sight to behold the entangled feelers, wrapped around each others bodies. After a little the weak CT of the two withdrew his arms, the other released him, and the beaten monster drew himself into a corner to nur0e his wounds.

THE WORLD GROWING BETTER.
The People as Whole Infinitely Better
 Off Than Century Ago.

e 0UhbuEy ago
 That the world is constantly grow ing better is evident to any observer who will take the trouble to look about him and compare present conditions With those existing a century ago. In a contribution to New York paper this fact is strongly brought out by Prof. John Bach McMaster, the we'll known historian. A century ago, says the professor, labor was performed in the south almost exclusively by slaves, and in the north largely by "redemp- tloners, who were in effect temporary slaves. When the redemptioner finally got his freedom he had to work for wages that would barely sustain life; or he had the alternative of pressing stern nature and bloodthirsty savages TOT the right to live. And woe be to the poor wretch who fell sick and got into debt. In New York as late as 1916 there were 1884 persons jailed for debt, and 729 of these owed less than S25 each, and had been imprisoned
 for spite Today the workingman no longer tolls from sunrise to sunset, as he did then. He is no longer subject to Imprisonment for honest debt. Wages a century ago were paid when the employer pleased. Now they are paid daily or weekly, and the laborer is protected by lien laws Railroads and machinery have enabled him to eat better food and wear better clothes than ever before. Increased blessings of the same kind are enjoyed by wo- men. Nor is the increase of happiness confined to any class. The steady march of civilization has made every body broader minded and more hu- mane. Diseases once the scourge of the world are feared no more. A face pitted with smallpox is as rare now as 1t was common century ago. Yel- low fever and cholera have lost their terrors with the increase of cleanliness Anestheties have almost annihilated pain. Cheap books, magazines and newspapers have made ignorance and narrow -mindedness the badges of dis grace. Cruel punishments are aban- doned and spirit of humanity and charity pervades the thought and the activities of the civilized world Prof MeMaster may well remark that the man who can contemplate these changes and still be a pessimist is men, tally disease5

AN ANTARCTIC OASIS.
A Queer Discovery Made During the
 Recent Expedition.

Recent antarctic discoveries nv inc Belglan expedition, are described ID the Century for January by MT. Fred erlck A. Cook of Brooklyn, whose arti- cle IS very fully illustrated. sAn oasis in snowy wilderness" is the phrasa he employs in characterizing a certain bit Of the antarctic land. Being sill unwilling to advance into the unknown region before us while enshrouded in mist, we drew near a prominent noun taln peak to make a debarkment. The clln was perpendicular cliff. free of snow to the seashore. It was one of a number extending far into the south east, as we learned on the following day. We made a debarkment at it's base Here was life in profusion, as indeed there was on every rock where life could gain a footing The noise from the birds, which re-echoed from cliff to cliff, was deafening.. The lower rocks were lined with snoring and grunting sea-leopards. Columns of Yapor rose above the water. followed by hiss like that of steam engine. and a second later the blue back of a whale, with it's long fin and ponderous tail, lashed the water into a foamy Whirlpool. The great wall of land-ice rose to each side of the black cliff. Which gave us shelf as landing place. From this wall came frequent sounds like the explosion of a cannon, which were followed by a splash and commotion in the water. With such reports parts of the wall would con- stantly break away and fall into a mil lion pieces, streWing the water with small fragments of ice, but not with 1cebefgs. Above us rose a cliff to an altitude of about 2,000 feet; out from this were projecting mantel-1ike rocks
 which served as resting places for the eormorants and sea-gulls. Here the young ones, dressed in gray down. coaxed their mothers for food. We ex- pected to see the little things drop from their narrow resting places. to be de- stroyed on our heads or on the rocks below, but such an accident rarely hap pened. Our greatest surprise here was the disco cry of large quantities of moss and lichens. which gave the spot an unexpected appearance of vegeta- ble life and color After seeing noth- ing but ice and black rocks for so many days, this sight of green and brown and red amid an endless expanse of icy desert was great relief It was an aasis in s,,a-.v v,il1 ~--.a

MANY PLAQUES IN AFRICA.
Both Man and Beast Are Made MLser-
 able by Natures Pests.

able by Natures Pests.
 From Ainsleess Magazine: South Af- rica exports hides, wool and mohair. and the ranchman would revel in riches were it not for the various pests that deeimate his focks and herds. The most deadly one is the rinderpest, q cattle plague which in the last ten years has been slowly creeping from Central Africa southWard, leaving a wake of whitened bones. In travelling tthrough Natal I saw fifty oxen lying dead about a spring, so suddenly had the disease attacked them. It was al- most impossible to get an untinged piece of steak at restaurant, though the proprietor resented any such charge, and plethoric German travel CT who called out in a loud tone for -'roast rinderpest" in the railroad cafe at De Aaf Junction, Cape Colony, had to be picked up in fragments. Dr. Koch and other eminent specialists tried to stop this plague. The country is now recovering from it slowly. Another pest is the tsetse fly, an insect . 4TeSemDlluS our cOLuulOu nOuo6 fly DuL three times as large Its bite will kill a horse, COW or any other domestic animal in about ten days, but strange to say, does not affect wild animal or a human being. A less dangerous, but more troublesome, pest is the white ant, which is about one-quarter of an inch long and ubiquitous in many parts of the country. They live under the ground, and can only be routed by killing the queen, which sometimes reaches the size of one inch in length. sThis insect is particularly harassing in Rhodesia. At Buluwayo my travelling companion inadvertently left his boots on the floor after turning in at night, and he arose next morning to find the uppers carefully separated from the soles. Lucky you didn't leave your clothes on the floor" was the hotel- Keepers only consolation. These ants will eat through anything but metal, and for that reason much of the build- ing is done with corrugated iron. The anthil1 is one of the conspicuous land marks in travelling over South Africa.
