THE WONDERFUL GALAPAGOS.
The Islands Reported to he ~ Full

san Francisco, Aug. ii.-Capt. Rich
ard Nye. who was one OF those ON the
steamer ". ). Phelps. tells OF many
wonders OF Galapagos islands. which
that vessel recently visited. In an in
teryiew he said: The islands arc as
full Of minerals as shad IS Of bones.
On Albemarle there is an extinct era
ter. miles in diameter. in which there
is in sight 10000 tons of pure sui
phur. The crater is about ten miles
inland, and a tramway will be neees-
sary for transportation to the coast,
bts this should be a small matter,
considering the possible profit.
'one of the queer things in Abe
marie is that IL is overrun with wild
dogs. These animals are a mongrel
breed, and were left on the island by
whalers. The dogs have become wild,
and are extremely vicious. They are
wolf.lilSe in their habits and run In
droXes."
Capt. Nye also tells of remarl
able lake. on the island of Chatham
at an elevation OF 5000 feet above tn
sen level. This lake. according to th
captain, rises and falls with the tide
and no sounding line has ever reached
its bottom. Many relics of an ancient
race were found.

Doctors Kick on the Tar.

The physicians of the Yazoo- Mis-
sissippi levee district are much dis
satisfied with the order of the levee
board imposing a privilege tax on
the physicians of the delta, and the
probabilities are the doctors may
take the matter up in the courts and
make a test of the legality of the
boards action. The members of the
profession are inclined to the opin-
ion that the leyee board exceeded its
authority in imposing the tax on
physicians, as the law passed by the
last legislature does not confer such
authority, as the doctors are express
ly exempted under the State law
from paying privilege license. The
Delta Medical Association will prob
ably take some action on the matter
at its next meeting at Clarksdale.

On the whole there has been a
marked improvement in the condi-
ton of cotton; the damage from oy-
erfow has been slight, rust and boil
weevil are reported from only a few
localities, and while shedding is
more general, thus far, it is not Sc
rious. Old cotton is quite we'll ad-
vanced, especially in the middle and
southern counties, where the plant,
although small, is we'll fruited and
the bolls are beginning to open; as
result of this advanced condition
it will not be benefited SO much by
the recent rains as young cotton
which is still growing, blooming and
fruiting nicely.
Young corn, cane, peas, sorghum,
potatoes, melons, meadows and pas
lures have been much benefited by
the rains and are improving rapidly.
Turnips are being sown and in some
localities peas are still being planted
for hay. Late peaches will be i'm
