J agonia is divided into two
sharply defined regions-an
eastern level and comparative
" barren plain and western exceed
iucly broken and mountainous region.
The former extends eastward from
the base of the Andes, where it has
an altitude of 5000 feet to the Atlantic
Coast, where it terminates in a con-
tinuous line Of precipitous cliffs 300
to 400 feet high.
Three distinct features characterize
the topography and tend to relieve the
monotony of the broad Patagonian
plains. The first of these is the Sc
ries of escarpments, from q few feet
to several hundred in height, encount-
cred at successive attitudes as one pro-
ceeds from the coast inland toward the
Andes. These escarpments have a
general trend parallel with the pres
ent coast line, and they doubtless mark
successive stages in the final elevation
of the land above the sea. The Sec
ond feature is to be seen in the series

makes the startling statement that the
South has increased its spindle power
45 per cent. or nearly one-half, since
Jan. ] 1899, but little more than a wear
ago. The enlargements already COM
pleted amount to $40, ,424 spindles, and
the new mills, organized and under
way, will give total of projected work
OF S4S, ,242 spindles, or grand total
for sixteen months OF 1855, ,666. In
August, 1898, there were in the South
only $3.50, ,19O spindles in operation;
and the chances care that by August.
1900, or two years from that date. the
South will have doubled It's prod uction
OF cotton goods. The location of the
new mills is interesting as showing
what states are participating most ac-
lively in the great cotton manufactur,

Miss Katherine ]. Dugan is probably y
the only blind girl in the world who
leads church choir. For weeks past
the big choir Of St. Aloysits' Church,
at ST. Johnsbury, VT, has been under
be direction of this blind musician.
Miss Dugan received her education
at the Perkins Institution for the
Blind, In Boston. graduating from that
institution with honors ia 1893, and
later from post graduate work in 1899.
The blind girl il we'll known ia St..
Johnsbury, and has host of friends.
Her winning ways and pretty face have
secured her a place 10 the affections OF
all. Miss Dugan told OF her work and
declared that she could find nothing
remarkable In 1t.
''Oh. yes," she said, II use the hand
and direct my choir the same as any
other musician would. OF course, my
music Is the exact duplicate of that the
choir has, with the exception that
mine consists Of raised character, and
I read it by feeling with my hands.

The latest biographer of General
Forrest, the great Confederate cavalry
leader, defends his hero against the
charges OF blood -thirstiness that have
been made against him, says Golfers
Weekly Once in the midst OF one Of
his campaigns, he relates, a captured
federal chaplain was brought to his
headquarters. The man showed the
deepest anxiety and depression, for
stories Of General Forests severity
were rife in the union camp. A little
later supper was announced, and For
rest, to the chaplain's surprise, invited
him to share it, but his surprise grew
to amazement when the general turned
to him reverentially and said: "Parson,
will you please ask the blessing?' The
next morning Forrest courteously gave
him an escort through the Confederate
lines, for he wished no noncombatants
for prisoners, and bade him good-by
with the remarks, II would keep you
here to preach for me il you wern't
needed so much more by the sinners on
the other side"
