the courtyard of the palace amid the
booming of cannon, proceeded at a
walking pace through the streets, gay
with flags and bunting, and beneath
festoons of evergreens, which, atsome
parts of the route, formed veritable
vaults of foliage and flowers, to the
chamber of deputies, before the steps
of which had been erected purple
canopy.
At the Chamber of Deputies.
A delegation. consisting of IL sena-
tors and 12 deputies, received their ma
jesties at the steps, and, preceded by
the mace-bearers, they were conduct
ed through the ante-chambers, filed
with courtiers and others who were
unable to find accommodation in the
chamber itself. The king, queen re-
gent and the prince and princess of
the Asturias, assembled a platform, spe-
cially constructed, facing the semi
circular, gilded hall. around which the
benches were filled to their capacity by
senators, deputies, courtiers and min.
listers. The foreign princes and other
special ENJOYS were seated immediate
ly to the right of the platform, which
was draped with red. -Four gilded arm
chairs were placed in the front of the
platform. beneath a red canopy. The
king and queen regent, who had en-
terrell together, took the center seats,

The camera promises to become as
Indispensable in business affairs as
the typewriter. It is now being used
in the reproduction of documents, sta
tistical tables and other papers whose
duplication by hand would be laborious
and expensive. In very brief period
the camera reproduces these things
with absolute correctness and with
much labor saved. This is one of the
directions in which photography has
great value.

The most forbidding country in the
United States in its outward aspect is
found in the far southwest. There
the heat of the sun kills most vegeta-
ton, and in consequence under the
brazen sky lies one of the most DESC
late stretches of earth to be found
anywhere. In certain parts of Ari-
IONA the only things raised in abund-
ance are rattlesnakes, scorpions, ella
monsters and in former times the
equally deadly Apaches. The sparse
ness of vegetation in Arizona is
proverbial.

The greatest volcanic explosion ever
known was that Of Krakatoa, on an
island in the Strait of Sunday, be.
tween Java and Sumatra. On May 20.
1888, the eruption commenced, but the
great explosion did not come until
August 26 of that year. The flames
from the crater could be seen 40 miles
distant. The crashing explosion which
followed these flames set in motion air
four times one day and three times the
other. These waves travelled at the
rate of 700 miles an hour.

Objectionable Order revoked.

Havana, May 19-The order, issued
a month ago. giving the judges of the
island life tenure, and making them
removable for cause only, was revoked
by Gen. Wood Saturday. The revoked
order aroused much adverse comment
at the time it was issued. President
elect Palma himself opposed it, be-
cause among the judges were certain
men who, he believed, should not be
on the bench.

Martinique is one Of the many small
West Indies known as the Leeward
islands or Lesser Antilles. It is about
300 miles southeast of st. Thomas, .of
the group of Danish islands. Tho
island is about 40 miles long and from
10 to Is miles wide, embracing an
area of about $50 square miles. It is
irregular in shape, and like St.
Thomas. very mountainous. No less
than six volcanoes have spread masses
Of rock over the interior of the
islands, and their extinct craters tow
er to great height.

The fight over the famous Feir es-
tate Of San Francisco lasted seven
years and cost the heirs, in round
numbers, million of dollars for court
and legal expenses alone. Beside this,
100000 was spent in settling the
claims of various relatives. When
Senator Fair died his wealth was esti-
mated at s14,OoO,0O0, and this, despite
the great outlay in connection with
the suits, is said to have increased
to s17 100000.

Wives are still obtained by purchase
in parts of Russian Europe. In the
district of Kamyschin, on the Volga,
for example, this is practically the
only way in which marriages are
brought about. The price of a pretty
girl from well-to-do family ranges
from 500 to 5000, and in special cases
a much higher sum is obtained. In the
villages the lowest price is about $25.
A young farmer, whose father can not
afford to pay for wife for him, need
not think of getting married.

In 1883 the volcano Asama of japan
exploded. It was one of the most
frightful eruptions of modern times.
1t sent down 5000 feet torrent of
mud and fire from five to ten miles
broad, that overwhelmed AZ villages.
Historians have never been able to
determine how many lives were actu-
ally lost by this explosion. The total
ran into the thousands.

Recent experiments show that the
dolphin. when pursued, can go through
the water at the rate of about 80 miles
all hour. This is great speed, but for
a short distance the salmon can do
better, since it has frequently been
known to swim at the rate of 40 miles
an hour. Among the smaller fish it is
doubtful if there is one which is more
swift than the Spanish mackerel.
