German dialects be included there are
eighty-five millions. Russian follows

self cut off from either retreat or ad-
vance by the allied forces of human
foes and hunger. For the Indians,
rarely showing themselves, but con-
stantly lurking around the party, not
only picked off any members OF the
expedition who strayed even slightly
from the main body, but prevented
all hunting At last the party was SO
reduced by privations that panic
seized some and despair others. And
then came annihilation, SO that none
returned. Lista himself, so men have
learned since then, was one of the
last to dide. He was Drained while
he lay starving. And scattered over
many miles of forest trails lie his com
panions, pursued and killed in fight.
While Boggianos fate was still un-
known, Capt. Sirvent, German in
structor in the Chilean army, started
with his son to enter the Chaco coun-
try from the west. He expected to
return in a month. But three passed
and no sign came from the unknown
land.
Now, according to news just re-
ceived in America, Capt. Rojas, OF
the Paraguayan army, who started
from the east to search for him, mas
returned to Villa Hayes-named after
President Hayes to commemorate his
settlement of the Paraguay Argentina
boundary dispute with the almost pos
tive information that this expedition
also has been destroyed. Capt. Ro-
jas found that it had approached the
vicinity of the scene of 1barreta's
death, and there, on the banks OF
the Pilcomayo river, had perished, to
prove anew that the River of Death
still defies the worlds efforts to dis
pei it's mystery.

TELESCOPE to Start a Land Boom


Prof Turner declares that the erec-
ton of the observatory on Mt. Hamil-
ton sent up the value Of land in that
region considerably. Accordingly,
some enterprising gentleman in an
other neighborhood, desiring to test
the generality of the law that If a
large telescope were built the value
of land in the neighborhood would
go up, announced a still larger tel
escope, and ordered two 4O-inch discs
of glass for the lens.
The experiment succeeded admir-
ably and they were so well satisfied
with the rise in price which followed
on the mere announcement ESQ the
story goes), that they considered 1t
unnecessary to proceed further with
the instrument.
The two lenses were produced, and.
not being claimed, were left on the
makers hands, the result being that
the favorable opportunity for the pur-
chase was brought to Mr.. Yerkes' at
tention, and he bought them for the
great telescope that bears his name.
This, at least, is Prof Turner's YER
sion of the story.-San Francisco Ar
gonaut.

cxcIist,s Race with a Lion.

An exciting race between bicyclist
and a lion occurred recently on tho
road between Bienne and Soleure,
Switzerland. The animal belonged to
the Ehlbeck Menagerie, which was
travelling by rail from Bienne, and on
the journey it escaped from the train.
1t happened that just at this moment
the cyclist passed on the road beside
the railway. He saw his danger and
pedaled away furiously. with the lion
bounding after him. Fortunately he
managed to keep well ahead. and the
lion, which made its way into a sta

manager of the menagerie. The cy-

THE LAND OF DEATH
SOUTH AMERICAN TERRITORY
THAT CANNOT BE EXPLORED.
Intrepid Adventures of Many Ma.
tions Have Met Their Fate in Try
ing to Ascend the Pilcomayo River
Indians Are Hostile.

~0RAN CHACO, the most mys-
terious spot on the American
continent, and possibly in the
world, has claimed another
band of victims; again the
Pilcomayo river has proved itself de-
serving of the title given to it by the
natives of Paraguay, Argentin and Bo-
livia-River OF Death.
The last victims of the unknown
place are the famous Italian explorer,
Guido Boggiano, and his party. From
Asuncion in Paraguay the news has
reached American geographers that
the party has been officially pro-
nounced dead.
With the Staying of Boggiano, Gran
Chaco. triumphantly keeping its
secret, has successfully defied five
nations-France, Spain, Germany, It.
ally and Paraguay. Each Of them
sent its best explorers and to none
did their men return alive.
Creveaux, of France; Ibarretta, OF
Spain; Lista of Paraguay; Sirvent,
of Germany and Boggiano of Italy,
all started from the borders, dived
into the primeval forests of Ell Gran
Chaco, reached the Pilcomayo river
and disappeared forever.
No man has gone in and emerged
alive. What turks in it's twilight for
ests that Stays so surely?
Look on the map of South America.
Between the tropic Of Capricorn

square miles, about which man knows
nothing.
1t is the terra incognita of the
American continent.
Five months ago Guido Boggiano
started from Asuncion with an ex-
pedition of six Indians and peon to
follow the path that so many others
had taken before him and that had
led them to death. Men heard from
him only once after he had left CIV
ilization, as he passed through Puerto

SAVING IN GOOD ROADS.
Figures to Show Why We Should
Have the Very Best Highways.

An Indiana engineer has been esti-
mating the cost OF transportation by
road and has produced strong argu
ment for the very best roads.
He figures that the cost OF moving
one ton by horse power over one mile
OF dry sandy road is 64 cents: over
wet sand, 80 cents; over ruts and
mud, 80 cents; over broken stone and
ruts 26 cents; over an earth road that
is dry and hard, 1s cents; over brok-
en- stone road in good condition.
cents; over q compact gravel road. S.s
cents; over stone paving. 5.33 cents;
over asphalt, 2.7 cents.
The engineer argues that If wagon
transportation at a cost of five cents
a mile ton could be universal in this
country, many millions of dollars
would be saved and millions o. tons
of merchandise which cannot now be
handled at a profit would be available
In the markets.

is THE WEST ovERcRoWDED7
Horace Greeley's Advice to Young
Men No Longer Good.

Horace Greeley's advice to the
young man to "go west" is apparently
out of date. The Western Labor
Union states that there is no chance
in the west for any young man except
the young man with capital. The
union condemns the railroad advertis-
ing which paints the resources of the
west in glowing colors and brands
such statements as misleading in
character" and criminal in effect"
Many influential papers in the west
indorse the statements expressed by
the president of the labor union. They
all admit the brilliant opportunities
for the investment of capital in the
no chance.
The expression of such views as
these seems unfortunate and uncalled
for at this time of general prosperity,
says writer in Harper's Weekly. In
every community that has been
doomed" beyond its real producing
capacity it is inevitable that there
should he numbers of idle men. This
is also true of every agricultural COM
munity at certain seasons. But these
conditions are temporary, and right
themselves in short time. Tne
Western Labor Union states that the
resources of the west ARE limitless-
to men of capital" Where there is
room for investment, capital general
ly goes, and where capital goes there
is bound to be room for labor. The
west NAV ba a little OyercrOwded with
labCr just at present, but there is

dition, and there is certainly no sane
reason for the hue and cry that the

Ramon Lista, thus on the threshold,
possibly, of an epochal discovery in
modern world history, set his face to-
ward Ell Gran Chaco. He passed be-
yond the uttermost frontier of human
dwellers, and with canoe and men
padded away to reach the Pilcomayo
river. And when he padded thus
away he passed out Of human sight
forever. For the River Of Death has
never given him up.

hardships and terrors had become too
much for them and they had fled to-
ward settled country. They reported
that the line of march had been
through constant dangers and through
constant mystery. Unseen enemies
had attacked them by day and by
night Unseen animals had prowled
on their trail Unseen things had
terrified the Indian helpers, so that
even then Boggiano was finding 1t al
most impossible to force them on.
That is the last that has been heard
by man of Guido Boggiano and his
party. No doubt the entire expedi-
ton was destroyed, presumably by
the fierce, practically unknown TOBIAS
Indians.
This makes the second expedition to
vanish within year.
First to meet fate in Gran Chaco
was DR.. Creveaux. He started into
the interior in 1886 with large and
well-armed party and forced his way
for several months through the wilder
ness along the Pilcomayo until he
penetrated into the TOBIAS country,
near the Bolivian boundary, where
the expedition, worn and thinned out
by constant fighting and hardships,
fell into the hands Of the Indians,
who suddenly appeared from all quar-
ters and massacred all.

ser's Soldiers.
AS censor of military marriages,
German Emperor William has defined
what manner of wedlock is permis-
sible to Prussian officer and what
marriages are "strengthily under
said" His new order states that an
officer with $1,125 year must have a
private income of s375 in order 10
marry. A district officer If gendarmes
must add private means of $525 year
to a salary of $500 to win the privil-
ege. Officers who haven't $3.50 pay
mustn't marry at all.
The kaiser's is the busiest matri-
monial bureau in the world. Each
officer who desires to double his
duties and halve his rights" must
state his prospective father-in-law' S
business and tell whether the lady is
maid, widow or divorcee, and in the
latter case why. Proofs must be in
closed of her income, education and
repute. If there is no obstacle, social
or military, the wedding bells may
then peal out their merry note.
Interest rates upon such German
investments as the "kingly and kaiser.
ly" bureau will accept are low. A
young fellow practically must have
$4,000 to $4,000 in his own name
before he can think of matrimony. If
the lovelorn one has not the cash
well. in that case he can give up his
commission and come to country
where he may marry on nothing a
year if he likes.

HIRED MAN A PARSONAGE.
Good Ones Hard to Get and Have
Many Privileges.

The servant girl problem is continu-
ally before the city household. We
don't hear much about the hired man,
because he lives and works In the
country. He is hard to get, if a good
one is wanted, for the good ones usu-
ally stay at the same place until they
get married, buy a farm Of their own
or die. They become members of the
household and often address the head
Of the house as pa" and ma" This
class OF the hired man usually gets
what he wants without asking for 1t
but there are others, and the Atlantic
Messenger speaks thusly about him:
Within few years past the question
of keeping horse for the hired man
on the farm has come to the front and
Is to-day. in many portions OF the west
at least, very lively one. The farmer
who employs help very naturally does
not take kindly to this proposition,
claiming that the keep Of such horse
is an added expense to him. that time
which should be put in caring for his
own horses Is used by the hired man
In caring for his horse, and that the
keeping of such horse, with buggy
attachment, has the tendency to keep
the hired man out late giving the girls
buggy rides. But the hired men are
scarce and good ones hard to get, and
so, in most cases, the farmer has to
submit to what he thinks is an impo-
sition. 1t stands about like this:
Through much of the agricultural west
the man is paid $24 to $2s per month
and some of them $50. He gets the
best of the board, his washing and his
horse kept on the fat Of the land. II
he has not got a snap, who has? At
present prices he costs the man who
hires him not less than $45 per
