accidents ConcsrnioS Beginning OF
Line Of Boats.
The Collins line OF American steam
ers was established in 1847. Two year,
later, on April ~, 1S49, its first YES.
sci, the steamer Atlantic, sailed from
New York. The line was withdrawn in
1857, soon after the government mac
refused to renew the mail contract
with it. The history Of its steamers
briefly told, Is as follows: On Septem'
Der e. 1854, the Arctic came into col
lision with the French steamer Vesta
and was sunk, only few OF her pas
sengers being saved; on January 70.
1856, the Pacific sailed from Liverpool
with 24O persons on board, including
the wife of Mr.. Collins. and was never
heard Of afterward; the Atlantic was
broken up in New York in 1879; the
Adriatic, built at Greenpoint, N. Y, by
Steers, was sold to the Galway COM
pany, and was afterward used as Q
coal hulk in England: the Baltic was
in the government service during the
civil war as a supply vessel, and waa
afterward sold at auction; her ma
chinery being removed and sold as old
iron, she was converted into a sailing
ship and used as grain carrying YES
sci between San Francisco and Great
Britain until 1880, when she was bro
: ken up. When the civil war began the
New York and Havre Steam Naviga-
ton company, to which the Fulton
and Arago were chartered, was with
drawn; the Arago was then sold to the
Peruvian government. while the Full
ton became a United States transport
vessel for awhile, but she soon became
useless and was broken up.-New York

CARRIER PIGEONS.

lnoressing.
Here is a new word for you, column
bophilism. 1t means raising and train
ing messenger pigeons. Within the
last few years this industry has grown
wonderfully. The governments OF Bel
gium. Germany, France and the United
States are training these birds to serve
- messengers from army stations.
The United States makes use OF Thorn
more especially from ships. Nearly
every one Of our big ships carries 9
coop of homing pigeons, as they are
called, which are released as occasion
demands, and almost without excep'
ton the birds go with unerring swift
ness to their home on shore, carrying
q tiny tube fastened to one leg. which
contains a message written on the
thinnest OF paper. They can be de-
pended upon to 60 a hundred miles Al
a speed Of fifty miles an hour when
they are three years old. Special at
tention has recently been paid In
France to the use of carrier pigeons by
the cavalry. The bird Is placed IN
wicker tube lined with hair to deaden
the effect OF the jolung. Three such
tubes can be carried in basket. which
is attached to the riders shoulders In
the same way as knapsack. The
birds feet are drawn up and its wings
are folded when it Is placed in the
tube. and q light form OF folding cage
IL carried. in which the birds can rest
and eat during halt. Twelve men are
sent every year from the French cav
airy ranks to attend a course of In
struction in the treatment and han
ding Of pigeons at the military pigeon
station st Vangirard. The sense that
guides the pigeon back to its home ls
as much a mystery now as 1t ever was.
When set at liberty. it Immediately
rises in the air in a spiral. higher an"
higher. as If getting its bearings. tn
away it goes in the right direction. A
nightfall the bird goes into camp neil
water, and early next morning resupts
the journey.-Little Chronicle.

| What are known as the emerald
mines Of Cleopatra lie ia the mountain
range that extends for long distance
parallel to the Red sea and a few
leagues west Of it's coast, in latitude
rather south of Eofu, on the Nile, says
che Geographical Journal. This. like
some other parts OF the region-such
as the porphyry quarries OF Jebel Dok-
han was far better known than 1t IS
now, and more thickly peop;<d. about
twenty centuries ago, and only during
the present one. so far as we Know,
have isolated explorers at long inter-
walls found their way into the treasure
house OF ancient Egypt. When it's ruI-
ers first used the emerald for personal
adornment is uncertain. Whether the
large, clear stones which, according to
ancient authorities, ornamented the
Egyptian temples were really emeralds
is matter Of dispute, but as this gem
owing to its regular shape. which Is
commonly a six-sided prism-and i:s
beautiful tint stands less III need OF
the lspidary's art than many others, It
probably formed part OF the regalia
Of princes at very early period. That
1t was known to the Romans is GER
tain, and the mines now revisited used
to send their treasures to the gem cut
ters OF the capital. Ever since then
the stone has been highly esteemed.
These mines Of the northern Ethbal
seem to have remained untouched since
the decline and fall OF Rome caused
them to be deserted. According to MIR.
MacAllister, the workings are only
small passages, hardly more than bur.
rows, e1cavated in the emerald-bear'
Ing cyst and sometimes extending for
long distance. Many scattered ruins
may also be seen-dwellings, watch
towers and tombs. besides those of fen
settlements. In these. no doubt, the
mining population used to live, and
the difference in style suggest they
were occupied for a long time. Some
are mere novels, very roughly built;
others show a more careful construc-
ton. while third group are we'll fin
ished. Mr.. MacAllister also found three
rock-cut temples. for the soft stone
lends itself to that kind Of architecture,
lie thinks that their pillars, though
very primitive in style. indicate Egyp-
tian designs, with traces Of Greek in
fluence. One, indeed. contains a crum-
bling inscription in that language,
Broken pottery, sometimes ornament
ed, is abundant, but there is no evil
dence that the neighborhood attracted
visitors for any but business purposes.
Notwithstanding this. there was in
those times settled instead Of
nomad population, and travellers once
must have been rather frequent, for in
one place many drawings of persons,
animals and tribal marks are scratched
upon the rocks. Some of the figures
evidently are much older than others,
but as whole they recall to memory
the Sinaitic inscriptions which some
forty years ago were believed to be
memories of the wanderings of the
ISraelites.

New Federation Of Australia Must hsrs'

Australia Is to Great Britain the
most valuable OF all her colonies.
writes Hugh NJ. Lusk In the North
American Review. The external In
duence Of Australia in the south Paci.
fc is bound to make itself felt before
long. Those who know Australia best
will have the least doubt that she WI!
find means ere long to use that indu-
ence for purposes beneficial to herself.
Her people were far from pleased
with what was done in the case OF Sa-
moa: and it is safe to say that no
such policy OF concession will ever
command the assent of united Austria
liza. The sphere OF her first interests
will, for the present, be confined main
ly to the Pacific and Indian oceans to
the south Of the equator. She will be
interested in the Loyalty group, whers
France is established, and in the New
Hebrides. where she is very anxious to
establish herself. She will be solicit
GUS about the Solomon islands, part
Of which are at present recognized As
German territory. and she will take a
very deep Interest in the future of New
Guinea, part OF which belongs to Ger
many. and the rest, beyond the British
section, is understood to form part OF
Holland great but little used estate
in the eastern archipelago. These will
undoubtedly be Australia's first cares,
but she vii not be content with these
for very long Siam, French and SOUTH
ern Chiua and Borneo are natural
marts for her trade, which in the next
ten years will be a rapidly increasing
one. anA, in relation to all these. she
will EXPECT to exercise large influence
