CITY OF C~ROCODILES.
Striking Ruins of "CrOcOdi1ODOIfs"
Said to Have Been Built
by Pharaoh.

The crocodile, n of the most sacred
animals of the east, has given its name
to several ancient sites, says the Phila-
deiphia Ledger. OF the various "Cities
of C~rocodiles," the names Of which have
been handed down to us by HeroGotus,
Pliny and Strabo, perhaps the most
striking was the "Crucodilopolis" of the
ancient Egyptian province Of Fayum,
which according to tradition, was built
by that Pharaoh, who made the lives
ofthe children of Israel bitter with hard
service"
This province lies within ar almost
complete circle of hills-a little oasis
in the midst of the desert, where roses
and grapes mingle with figs and olives,
and palm trees grow almost into for
ests.
It's capital is Medinet, and G little to
the north of the city are a number Of iT-
regularly shaped mounds. Beneath
these are the ruins of the Pharaoh built
"Crocodilopolis," the City Of Croco-
dies" later called Arsinoe, and the
shrine of the sacred crocodile Of the
neigkboring Lake Moeris. which was
then 450 miles in circumference.
This lake held the sacred c%rocodiles
and as each one died in turn it was
buried in one Of the 1,500 underground
sepulchers of the world-famed LADY
rinth" at hand, side by side with the
embalmed bodies of successive Pha-
raohs.

ANTISEPTIC WRAPPING PAPER
1t Is Also Aromatic and Ma BE Put
to Various Domestic
Uses.

A new commodity is being intro
duced in France, relates the New York
Tribune. 1t is called "thymol paper
The manufacture and use of this mate
rial have been suggested by the fact
that printed paper is not only insult
able, but liable to prove dangerous.
Owing to the carelessness with
which the latter is sometimes handled
before being thus employed, it may
be contaminated with disease germs.
A French technical paper supplies
the following details concerning the
production and nature of the sub
stitute:
When prepared according TO the i'm
proved method, it is impregnated with
a solution of Thyme acid derived from
the essence of the oil of thyme), a So
luton of salicylic acid, and a solution
of boracic acid, in proportions which
will impart the antiseptic properties OF
the two acids and the agreeable aro-
matte odor of the thymic acid to the
paper.
The boric acid is first added to the
pulp of which the paper is made, in
the proportion of two parts per thou
sand, then the salicylic acid in the pro-
portion of two parts per thousand. The
thymic acid is added to the pulp last
of all in closed sterilized chambers
kept at a temperature of 80 degrees
to so degrees, the proportion of acid
being OF part, or more per thousand.
The ~so-called "thymol" paper is thor
outly antiseptic, as well as arOmtaic,
and may be put to various domestic
uses,

Rev. Father Grison, Of Stanley Falls,
Africa, writes that Europeans have a
very inaccurate idea of tropical tenn
p~eratures. He passed eight years at the
equator on the Pacific coast, he says,
aud never saw the mercury above So
degrees, while at Stanley Falls the max
mum is 80 degrees and the nights are
Geliciously cool. On the other hand,
there are frequent tempests Of indie
scribable violence, and Father Grison
has counted sc lightning flashes in one
minute, the thunder being continuous,
and has seen ten thunderbolts strike
within a radius of a few hundred meters

Alderman Smith Well Again.

Alderman J. F. Smith of indianapolis,
Ind, contracted a severe cold which grew
rapidly worse until his physicians said he
had all the symptoms of hasty consump.
tiop. The physicians prescriptions and
several proprietary preparations failed to
help him. A friend recommended Fo-
ley's Honey and Tar, and in a few days
he began to improve and the sec0ud bot
tie cured him completely. He says it is
the best remedy for coughs, colds, and
lung trouble he has ever known. Accept

MISSISSIPPI H|oUsEB0ATs.
They Are fnpidIy Coming to Ec a
FeatuEe Of Travel on the
Dis River.

The Mississippi abounGs in beautiful
and p~ictureAque scenery, with is ever
widening curves, now about rocky hills,
then grassy slopes, through low wooded
islands, thriving cities and fine farm
lands, says the Minneapolis Journal.
There is an especial charm about life
on a houseboat on the Mississippi. UE-
like houseboats on most bodies Of water,
they can land whenever they will and
enjoy any chance pleasure by the way.
Cities are in easy reach and even thea
ter parties can be INDUCED in at short
notice. Between St. Paul ard St. Louis
seven magnificent rivers can be reached
by boats passing through more than
that number of states.
From La Crosse to St. Louis house
boats meet the eye every few moments.
At every town along the river one sees
boats lying on the shore. They are rsu-
ally moored in little bays, with their
launches alongside, and shaded by the
~overhanging branches of trees. When
a steamer passes the occupants appear
at the doors and windows and some
times go to the upper deck to way their
greetings. The water is very high at
present, and the boats fit in so perfect
ly thai the lovely green foliage seems to
have grown in anticipation of the COM
ing of each particular boat. Many Of
the river islands are submerged and the
trees seem to shoot up from the water.
Numerous houseboats are in course
of construction along the rivers. Many
are to be used by their owners to visit
the st. Louis exposition next year.

NORFOLK, Va, Nov. 19.-Former

Where Earthquakes start.

The great earthquakes are traced by
a committee Of the British association
TO eight districts, Of which seven are
beneath the ocean. Five fringe the
shores Of the Pacific, one is in the In
dian ocean, Cne in the West Indies. and
the eighth is in the CaUcasian-Hima-
layan region. Each of these earth.
quakes shook the entire earth. while the
broken-up strata left gave numerous
after shocks. The earthquake move
ment is propagated around the globe
at the uniform rate Of about two miles
per second. but through the earth the
rate increases with the depth of about
seven miles Per second.
