glimpses OF the environment OF men
and women who have preceded us, and
who have faded into the dim, hazy
light Of the past. We have but frag-

Inere.lients of Toilet snap.

The basis of the better qualities Of
toilet soap is generally curd or yellow
soap. in the making of which special
precautions are taken to insure alb
sence of free alkali. This is most i'm
portant, as otherwise the soap would
be altogether unsuitable for toilet pur-
poses, the free alkali being injurious
to the skin. This is the reason why Sd
many of the cheaper laundry soa d
produce chapped hands and similar
results when used for toilet purposes.
IT, on the other hand, there is an ex
cess of fat, the soap is greasy and does
not possess the cleansing properties a
good soap should. A laundry soap may
be made without much difficulty by
an amateur. but it is better to buy
whatever toilet soap is required. for
the reasons stated, and also because
special apparatus is required to make
a soap Of first class quality.

matter in which up to the present ia.
pan has been particularly conservative.
1T Will be remembered that the Crown
i'rlnce Yosh:hito was married a short
time ago amid universal rejoicing. It
has been found that there is no place
suthclently magnificent to accommodate
the royal couple and it has, therefore.
been decided to build near Toxic a dwell
ing which shall rival in splendor any,
thing existing in the East and possibly
even ssurpass the royal palaces of Europe
and the magnificent structures of Amer
lea.
10 achieve this object it was necessary
that .)apan's architects should see some
of the buildings of the West, and ac-
cordlngly Prof. Toro Iwamura and Mr..
Sano. the former a member of the Toxic
Academy Of Fine Arts. and the latter an
architect in the employ of the japanese
government, have started on a tour with
this purpose in view. After visiting va
rlous cities in the United States and Can
ada they have arrived at Toronto, where
the. public buildings were the object of
their particular attention. 1t is expected
that they will extend their tour to Blu

FOUND THE LOST PASS.

discovered pass through which. he said,
Il practicable wagon road might be made
,rom the Pacific ocean through all the
mountain ranges to Lake Manuel Huapi.
ny Tar the largest lake in the southern
PART OF South America, and OH to the
ATLANTIC ocean. It became known as the
h1a:!!2che pass. In those days it was
-hcught that no good would ever come
out Of Patagonia. Very few explorers
or other Write men visited this region,
ana Father Menendez's discovery, though
u, ~; for time, was almost forgotten
TIL some twenty years ago, when ranch
men began to move down to the neighbour
hood Of Lake Manuel Huapi and found
the grass was good and other crops
might be raised. Then citizens of Chill
ana Argentina began to look around for
ms pass in the mountains. and although
find it.
Ihe descriptions which the pioneer
priest had given o. his important discov-
cry was, unfortunately, very vague and
painfully lacking in detail; and hunting
tor the pass in that rough and tangled
mountain region was good deal like
looking for needle in haystack. FL
nally the official explorers wham Argen-
tina and Chilli have long kept in the field.
began to take a hand in the search They
used their utmost care, but all in vain
until this late day, when the long sought
for pass has at last been discovered and
traced by the CHILEAN engineer, Capt
Barrios.
Petcrmann's Mittellungen prints list
Of all the valleys of big rivers and their
little tributaries through which this com.
paratiyely low-lving and tortouous route
runs from the Pacific ocean to the big
lake Of Patagonia. 1t is not worth while
to reproduce them here and most of them
are the names OF valleys that have not
yet appeared on any of our maps. One
or another explorer has struck the route
in part of its course, but somehow. has
never succeeded in connecting it with the
other parts for any great distance. But
there is no doubt whatever, that the
route which Father Menentlez and some
of his successors followed has been re-
discovered in it's entirety. Here and
there are found traces of the old path
and there are many blazed trees which
the original dlscoverer is believed to
have marked.
