Dirty Patagonia.

"PatagOnians are not giants, as some
have supposed and as the Biographies
teach" said man who has Travelled.
"They are large in comparison with the
other South American natives; that is
all. Everything is relative, you know.
But they are very fat That is why
they can stand the cold so well. | have
seen Patagonian men and boys running
around unclad while was wrapped in
warm garments, with the snow falling
upon them in quantities and the wind
blowing bitterly. They are kept warm
by their fat-and dirt. Patagonia is
one of the dirtiest places imaginable.
Don't go there If you hate dirt. That
is my advice to all who contemplate a
journey to the jumping off place of
South America"

How the Cobra Give. warning.

The most dangerous reptiles of India
and Africa are the cobras. No snakes,
not even rattlesnakes. are more dread
ed, and with reason. AS the rattle
snake warns the ear by its significant
rattle" so the cobras warn the eve by
the mode in which they expand the up
per part of the body when irritated.
This expansion is produced by a sud
den movement of the ribs Of that re-
gion Of the body. Usually they incline
backward, but the animal when irritat-
ed makes them stand out at right an
giles to the body and so, of course,
forces outward the skin which covers
them. Thus the neck. or part just be
hind the head, becomes greatly ex-
panded and hattened. as it also does.
though in a less degree. in the Austria
liam blacksnake.
This expansion is called a hood, and
so the animals are called hooded
snakes. In some Of them there is on
the back of the hood a dark mark,
something like pair Of spectacles, and
they have therefore been called specta-
Gle snakes.

In very early days, as now, the hair
was sometimes thin, and it had to be
eked out in various ways to make be-
lieve that nature had been spendthrift
TO all alike. About the first description
extant of woman's hair speaks Of
plated locks" known as Gretchen
braids" to US. To make these bralds
seem longer silk the color of the hair
was braided in. Then they took to
putting the braids in cases of silk,
elongating them with all sorts of stuff
till they looked like umbrellas in COW
ers. The Chinese pigtail is modifica-
ton of this style.

Canals of the Northwest.
From the Engineering Magazine

The first locks at st. Mary's Falls were
opened in 1855. in which year the registered
tonnage was 1O6,296 tons. The half mil
lion mark was reached in 1862 and the
one million mark was passed In 1873. In
1881. exactly coincident with the opening
of a new and much larger lock, the north
west began to grow by leaps and bounds
and the tonnage Of the canal rose from
100000 tons in 1850 to 100000 in 1890
and to 16,0O0,OO0 in 1896 During the past
five years two enormous locks have been
in operation. one of them on the Canadian
side of the river, and in short time the tom
mage of the canal has leaped up to nearly
2s,5O0,0O0 tons. This colossal tonnage is
simply a manifestation of the development
which has taken place in the northwest
along with which has come the building of
thousands Of miles of railroad. including
TWO lines from the head of Lake Superior
to the Pacific coast II by some cataciysm
of nature the Great Lakes should be dried
up, the enormous traffic carried on
their waters would not be divided among
the Railroads.&c. would simply cease to
exist The whole galaxy of cities from
Buffalo to Chicago and Duluth would be
overwhelmed in hopeless, irretrievable ruin
and the railroads could in no wise escape
the general disaster.
