In loving memory Of our dear depart

November 20, 1900.
Farewell. Frank, you're gently sleeping
With the calm and silent dead.
Yet in heaven We hope TO meet you
Where no parting tears arc shed
God alone knows how We miss him.
Yet we know he IS at rest
For We know that Christ our Saviour
Doeth all things for the best

Condition OF Over 93,OOO,OOO
People In India.
The horrors OF the famine in India,
to which must be added the ravages OF
cholera. are increasing, and more than
90. 900, 900 people are now in the midst
Of a pestilence and misery. The char
ity which the Indian government is

suffering that are in evidence. The
governments relief reaches only
5000, 600 people and is inadequate for
their needs, leaving $4,000 600 DeoDle
face to face with starvation and It's
concomitant disease.
Horrible as the situation is in the
British districts the condition is worse
in the native states. The roads are
dotted with the bodies Of those who
persisted while fleeing to places where
they hoped to obtain a little food. The
condition Of the living is hardly pref
cradle to that of the dead, for the lat
ter are al rest. The mind revolts at
thoughts of the horribly emaciated
frames, the sunken eyes, the hollow
cheeks, the protruding bones, the dis
tended bodies, the rags, the filth, the
utter misery and dehumanized ap-
pearance Of the victims Of famine and
plague. Not even water is %procurable

A single Corps WIN stretoh Out over 81
Miles OF Road.
Few persons have any notion Of the
vast length Of an army on the march
A single battalion Of infantry, 1000
strong-which Is the strength Of an
English battaiion-takes up a road
length OF 525 yards, including about so
yards for straggiers. A battery of field
artillery takes up $50 yards, and a reg
iment Of cavalry takes up, when
marching -four abreast, ESQ yards. An
army corps, with it's STAFF. wagons.
guns, hospitals, ETC., would extend
over thirty-four miles Of road. An
army marches slowly on the best Of
roads. It is much more firing march
ing IN a crowd than walking alone.
Soldiers go at the rate Of about two
and one-half or two and three-quarter
miles an hour, and in the English ar
my they do a good days march when
they cover 10 miles. This accounts for
the fact that when news Is printed OF
an army marching to attack surprise
is expressed that the attack Is delayed
so long. II takes a day or more for all
the men to assemble on the battle
field.
The rates Of march for the various
arms differ, Of course; but the fastest
arm has to suit it's pace to the slow
est. Here are the English ohlclal
rates: Infantry in small bodies. three
miles an hour; infantry in large
bodies, two and a half to two and
three-Quarter miles; cavalry, walking,
four miles; cavalry, trotting, nine
miles; cavalry, %galloping. is miles; ar
tillery, walking, three miles; artillery,
trotting, eight miles. In our army the
average march for infantry is from Is
to 20 miles a day. When troops move
in large bodies, and particularly in the
vicinity OF the enemy. the march is
conducted in several columns so as tc
diminish the depth of the column and
to expedite the deployment into line
of battle. In large commands the
roads, II possible, are left to the artil'
lery and trains. When long distances
have to be covered rapidly, it is done
by changing gaits. The most favorable
ground is selected for the double time
but care is taken not to exhaust the
troops Immediately before engaginl
the enemy.

Sent b. the Atlantis, Ca. univoraity tn

Some mouths ago the Atlanta CGal
university sent a negro exhibit TO
Paris for the exposition and last week
a second negro exhibit. with the same
destination. was forwarded by the
same university. Il Is said by the At
lante papers to be an exhaustive So
cial study Of the Georgia negro, who
as Georgia has the largest negro pop.
ulations OF any state, Is taken as a fair
representative OF the race in this coun-
try. Il IS illustrated by maps. col
ored charts and other devices. The
facts shown are decidedly %encourag-
ing not only 10 regard to the material
progress OF the negro. but as to his
intellectual progress as well. The in
crease IN numbers has been steady
from 1880 to the present time, while
the proportion in relation to the
whites has also grown from 81 per
cent in 1900 to 46 per cent in 1890.
there being in 1880 over 5 10000 negro
residents in Georgia. The freedmen

their taxable property is assessed at
about StS,500 900, having increased in
value nearly 1900, 900 since 1875. In
the various occupations the agricul-
tura1 laborers are stn in the great
majority. although there is practically
no occupation or profession that is not
represented by a few at least. Illit-
eracy has decreased from 80 per cent
in 1860 to so per cent in 1900, and the
number Of children IN the public
schools has increased IN the same pc
riod from seven to nearly 10000

For instance, the migration of negroes
is illustrated by the Georgia negro.
Negroes born in Georgia are shown to
be in every state and territory but
one, while negroes from over half Of
the states and territories are now liv-
ing in Georgia. other points brought
out are the coniugal conditions, the
numbers living in cities, towns and
rural districts. and the race %amalgama-

"A per cent of the race are pure Afri-
cans and 16 per cent are more white
than colored. There are maps OF the

Geological Surveys OF Cape Nome and
other Districts.
During the coming season the geolog-
zeal survey viii have three parties In
Alaska. One has already sailed, the
second viii leave in a few days and be
followed shortly by the third. Congress
at this session has appropriated $780,
600 for explorations IN Alnska, which
brings the funds now available for that
work to $4,000, sufficient to complete
the task contemplated.
The principal survey will be made in
the Cape Nome district. Alfred Brooks
will be in charge with two g%eOlOgist
assistants. His Investigation will COW
er an area surveyed by Mr.. Barnard's
party last year from Fish river to Cape
Nome and Port Clarence and also a
reconnaissance Of the Cape York dis
trict. He win determine the extent Of
the gold-bearing formations and trace
out the conditions from which the pla-
Ger gold has been derived. The trend.
Of the gO%ld-bearing belt Of Cape Nome
and vicinity appears to be northeast
ward across the Seward peninsula to-
ward Good Hope bay and the Keewalik
river. 1t Is desirable to extend the sur
vey along that direction, but it is i'm
practicable for the proposed parties to
do more than the work assigned them.
Reliable reports from officers Of the
geological survey and the military sur
veying parties in Alaska, as well as
from private sources, indicate the eX-
istence Of an important copper district
on the tributaries Of Cooper river, call
ed the "Chettyna.'' 1t is south Of the
Wrangel Alps and on the headquarters
Of the Cooper and Nebesna rivers
north Of that range. Previous eXplora-
lions have accomplished all desirable
reconnaissance work In that region, and
the value Of the economic resources
ppears to Justify more detailed tOpo-
graphic and geological surveys. A
party under i. G. Schrader, geOlOgist,
with T. @. Gerdine as togographer, has
started for that region, leaving Seattle
May 25th. 1t win make a topographic
and geologic survey of the valley of
the Chettyna river, comprising an area
Of about 1900 square miles, on the
scale Of four miles to the inch, with
sketch contours. This work is to be
connected with the coast survey work
near Valdes, and, II practicable, ex'
plorations are to be made between the
valley and the southern coast parallel
