RUNNING THE CATARACT.

Descending the first cataract of the Nile is d perilous proceeding. The sides of the rapids are walled with solid but not smooth rock, and the water is thrown with frightful inn petuosity from either side toward the middle. At every few yards there springs up diagonally a huge wave, and as these sideways meet they form q series of still larger ones, which go in deep and heavy ridges toward the bottom. In ''Fhe, Nile Without q Ora agoman,'' Mr Frederic Eden de scribes his experience in running this cataract in a dahabeah, or house-boat
 .'The chattering men were one and all impressed to silence. A moment more, and our boat was rapidly run ming along the central ridge of water The men strained their utmost force at the oars. A few seconds more. and the vessel began to bound under us in way hope never to feel repeated. Each wave, as it struck under the stern, drove her already too depressed head still deeper into the water.
 ''In the waves came. leaping into the bow, and up they went over the TOW CTS, rendering their oars useless and threatening to drive the. boat bodily under. Down we plunged. and when we should have made the turn to the right the largest wave of allahurled Us forward so straight that we made full at the wall of rock in front. Be fore we could touch. it. another wave struck sideways of the stern of the boat and washing lp over. the deck Of the cabin turned us short round. For an instant we were within q foot of the rock, sthell@the eddy drifted ms round until we lay with our head up- stream

the amount of 100000 marks for the construction of q special building and the necessary outfit for carrying on such observations. This building, as shown in the accompanying cut, was recently completed. All available technical means were used in build- ing this house in such way as to protect the instruments to be used against any influence liable to result from the traffic of the surrounding streets. The same great attention was paid to attaining a uniform tenn perature, stiffness and dryness of the air within the various rooms of the building.
 The building has a length of 45 feet and width of 90 feet, and is di- vded into four observation rooms, the bottom of which lies II feet be- low the level of the street. The ob- servation building proper is entirely surrounded by a second building. three feet apart from the walls Of the former, and at no point connect cd with it. Roof and walls of this outer building consist of cement and lccton. Chimneylike ventilators are provided on the roof of the outer building, so that a current of fresh air circulates in the open space be- tween inner and outer buildings. The roof of the outer building is covered with 6 three-feet thick l;ner of gray el, and then topped off with roofing paper, It is the only building of it's kind in the world. Our cut repre- sents only the outer structure. within the walls of which is inclOsed the ob- SerYatOrN itself.

- It is only recently that the study of earthquakes has been carried on scientifically. 1t is thought, however, that valuable results can only be ob- tained if such observations are car ried on systematically all over the world. In Germany such observa- tions have especially been made dur ing the last ten years by the Geo. graphical institute of the University

Gen. Porter is nearly GA years of age, and believes that he has reached the age for retirement from i.n ac- tive life to spend a few years in rest that he has so surely earned. While he has served his country faithfully in many positions, from a second lieu tenant to a brigadier general during the civil war, and afterwards as pri- vate secretary to Gen. Grant during his two terms as president, he has also been successful business man, and has accumulated a considerable fortune which he now wishes to en- joy.
 Much of Gen. Porter's fame rests upon his ability as an orator. Among after-dinner speakers he is classed only next to Senator Depew, but he probably outranl1s that distins s-uished gentleman IS a public speaker upon other occasions. He delivered the ora ton at the Grant Memorial ceremo- nies at the inauguration of the Wash .ington arch in New York on April 27, 1897, and his efforts of that day will go down into history as one of the greatest orations ever delivered in America.
 He is native Pennsylvanian, being born in that state April 15, 1887, and secured much of his educa tion at West Point, graduating from that institu- tion in 1860. After the war he entered the railroad field, and accumulated his wealth in that line.

An indifferent actor was telling Beerbohm Tree that he was getting on well and had played Hamlet" with dis tinction. ''Yes. I saw you,' said Tree. "Oh, were you there?' returned the actor ''Of course you saw l made a bit of a bungle by falling into Ophelia's $ grave; but l think the audience even appreciated that" 'I'In sure they did" said Tree, with a twinkle of the eye. But a sadness came over them when you got out again. n."-Argonsut.

cate. of the Land of Promise.

No enc can watch a load of immi- grants land without being struck by the astonishing signs of hope and confidence about them all. There has never been any exaggeration of this. Incredible as it may seem to one who knows how grim is the struggle for life among the masses in America, 1t Is evident that this is still the land of promise to the poor of Europe. Scribner'a; Nigga

The Test,

It is easy enough to be pleasant ft~ When life flows by like song, But the man worth while is the one who
 will smile
 When everything goes wrong. For the test of the heart is trouble, And it always comes with the years, And the smile that is worth the praises of
 earth Is the smile that shines through tears. It is easy enough to be prudent When nothing tempts you to stray, When without or within no voice of sin Is turing your soul away. But i1s only negative virtue Until il is tried by fire. And the life that is worth the honor of

 But students of world politics and politicians did not stop to count the strength of De Witte's pull, or his influence with the czar's mother, who virtually placed him in power again. The mother of the czar is great admirer of the able finance minister, and for several years has kept him under her personal protection, de- spite the intrigues that are well known to all the St. Petersburg court. Strange as it may seem, she admires him because he is product of the common people, a class that Russian officialdom are supposed to look down upon, and to tramp under foot rather than assist to high places ill the government.
 It is this same De Witte who re- gently declared 8 tariff war against this country, and he is in position to do our foreign trade considerable injury unless some method is found to retaliate and bring Russia to terms.
 He began life in railway office as an under clerk, and from that has worked himself up to one of the highest posts in the gift of the Rus sian government. He is in every re- spect a self-made man, securing his education as best he might by his own efforts. Of school training he has but little, but as master of finance he is recognized as one of the greatest auth critics in Russia, though he is now but 40 years of age. If his "pull' holds out there is a great future before him.
