AZ low as those which Prof Dewar pro-
duces in his experiments at the Royal
institution will prevail all over the
earth The atmosphere and The oceans
will then have disappeared within the
rocky crust Of the globe, their ele-
ments having entered into new combi-
nations. In other words, to use Sir
John Murray's expression, the wa"ers
OF the ocean viii have become solid

The English have governed in South
Africa for 100 years, driving into the

dependent. But the strange Boer race
which is not exactly Dutch. but

most as strong IN admiNture Of

blood OF Holland, and including also

affairs of the colonies,
At this day the "Afrikandcrs." or
Dutch-spcaking colonials, bear sway
by virtue of their ma ority in Cape
Colony Itself. An Austrian traveller,
Herr Won ilubner, tells why this is so.
The Beers love South Africa, and
have no desire to live anywhere else.
They have taken deep root in the
soil They have completely adapted
themselves to the climate and condi-
tons of fife. They live to a great
age, and great families OF children
arc born 20 them.
Herr Won lIubner visited "A family of
