SOUTH AFR1cA'S PLAQUES
At Buluwayo Boots DevouReA: ~
Ants-Ravages Of the
alAdePpest.

South Africa imports hides, wool and
mohair, and the ranchmen would revel
in riches were it not for the various
pests that decimate his docks and
herds The most deadly one is the
rinderpest, a cattle plaugle which in the
last ten years has been slowly creeping
from Cen trail Africa southwark, leaving
wake of whitened bones. In travelling
through Natal saw so oxen lying dead
about a spring where they had tum-
bled one over the other, so suddenly
had the disease attacked them. 1t was
almost impossible then to get an un-
Gnged piece of steak at a restaurant,
though the proprietor resented any
such charge, and plethoric German
traveller who called in a loud tone for
"roast rinderpest" in the railroad cafe
at De Aar Junction, Cape Colony, had
to be picked up in fragments. DR.. Koch
and other eminent specialists tried in
vain to stop this plague. The country is
now recovering from it slowly.
Another pest is the tsetse fly, an in
sect resembling our common house fly,
but 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 n 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 kill
ing the queen, which sometimes reaches
the size of one inch in length. This in
sect is particularly harasaing in Rho
desia. At Buluwayo my travelling COM
panion inadvertently left his boots on
the floor after turning in at night, and
he arose next morning to find the up
pers carefully separated from the soles.
LUCKY you didn't leave your clothes
on the hoor,," was the hotel keepers
only consolation. These ants will eat
through anything but metal, and for
that reason much of the building is
done with corrugated iron. The ant hill
is one OF the conspicuous landmarks In
travelling over South AfricA-Ainslee's.

ALASKAN EARTHQUAKES.


The seven earthquakes that shook TIT
coasts Of Alaska on September 8 and
10 were unequaleda in. the historic 70.
Rod in that region for the extent ~
coast line affected Reports Of the
shocks have been received from various
points between Juneau and the Aleu-
ton chain, a distance OF over 600 miles;
1t IL well known that the effects %
earthquakes originating on the coaata
are often felt in the fer interior o,
continents, and it is not ct all unlikely
that these shocks extended hundreds
Of miles inland In . region like Alas!
ka, where large areas are uninhsbited;
severe earthquakes may sometimes oe;
cur without the facts ever becoming
known. is'$.5
It is said that q number of islsnda
along the coast near Yakutat bay, IL
the neighborhood of Mount st. EAss
have become submerged or have settled
in the water, and that the adjoining
coast line has perceptibly sunk, while
. little distance out at sea the ocean bed
appears to have risen. While these re.
ports need confirmation, it may be said
that it IL not uncommon for consider
able areas of the crust Of the earth to
sink az the result Of IN earthquake,
One example that may be cited from,
our own history 10 the New Madrid
earthquake Of 1881, when the subter:
ranean disturbances resulted in the
subsistence Of about 5000 square miles
Of alluvial lands along the Mississippi
river in what il now southeastern Mis-.
souri, aud northeastern Arkansas. The
subsistence was about ten feet and the
river poured into some Of the depres'
sions, forming q series Of lakes.
A few hundred miles north of the re-
gion where this sudden subside nee and
elevation is said to have occurred In
Alaska the earth's crust has been rising
for considerable period. Behring ses
is slowly becoming shallower. If thi,
tendency il continued. the time~ will
come when Behring sea, or large parts
Of it, will be dry land, and thus Asis
and North America may yet be united
above the sea level.
The known earthquakes in Alaska, q,
in the present instance, have occurred
along the line OF volcanic cones, and
partic' 'arly in the Aleutian chain
Over W of these shocks have been re-
corded by the Russians and our own
people. When we bought Alaska w
acquired an addition to our earthquake
territory. Canada throughout it's great
domain has comparative immunity
from this sort Of visitation, while ".
record from 30 to 40 earthquakes in 9
year, most Of which, however, do very
little damage, IL any.-N. Y. Sun.

Next Years Total Eelipso.

The totally eclipsed sun, according
to Nature, can only be observed for
something like three hours in Q cen.
fury. It also states that the Span
ish minister Of finance has given
instructions that all instruments
intended for observations Of the
eclipse of the sun on May ~,
1900, are to be admitted free of duty.
Nature, however, seems to be uneer-
tain of the exact date of the impor-
tant eclipse, for, in another portion
of the same issue September 21), It
gives the date as May %, 1900. This
scientific journal states that during
the more recent eclipses, attempts. 70
extend DER knowledge of the sun have
taken the place Of the supersti tious
fear with which they were formerly
regarded.
