Paths Ina Africa.

1t may be a surprise to the unen.
iightened to learn that probably no ex'
plOrer, in forcing his passage through
Africa, has ever for more than a few
days at a time been off some beaten
track. Every village is connected with
some other village, every tribe with the
next tribe, every state with it's neigh
Dor and therefore with all the rest.
The explorers business is simply to
select from this network OF tracks,
keep Il general direction and hold on
his way. They are veritable foot
paths, never over q foot in breadth,
beaten hard and ncttod beneath the
level of the forest bed CT centuries Of
native traffic.
Like the roads of the old Romans,
these foOtpaths run straight on through
everything, ridge and mountain and
valley, never shying at obstacles, nor
anywhere turning aside TO breathe,
Yet within this general straightfor-
Wardness are q singular eccentricity
and an indirectneSS Of detail. And
the reason is not far to seek. If 4 stone
is encountered, no native will ever
think of removing it; he simply walks
around it. 1t would never occur to him
that that stone was Il displaceable OBJ
iect and that for the general veal ne
might diSplace it.

A whales appetite is phenomenal.
His chief diet consists Of jCllytiSh. He
has simply to open his mouth and pad
die along leisurely in order to take in
jellyfsh by the wagon load. Such is
the method adopted by the whalebone
whale. The sperm whale, on the con-
trary, captures huge squids weighing
often several tons. Like his brother
the WhalcbOnc whale, he must be con-
stantly on the lookout for food; other
wise he would staryc. AS many as
fourteen seals have been taken from q
thirty foot "kiIler." Other fishes of
enormous appetites are not uncommon.
The bluefish, for example, thrives on
sardines and other small fish. Assam
ing that one bluefiSh eats ten small fish
a day, it has been figured that it re-
Quires 100000, sardines to feed
the 1000,000,O0O bluefish on our coasts

eaters is the hydra-a strange creature
that cam be turned inside out without
impairing it's appetite o. it's power to
eat.-Scientific American.

persons were restrained from invading
