As we have racers and cart horses,
so the Arabs and the nntives of north
eastern Africa have breeds of camels
scverally adapted for riding and for
carrying burdens. 1t Is to the fast rid
Ing and racing camcls that the name
dronlc<iary alone applies. 30 that this
term-tlle Greek equivalent OF racer
indicates merely breed and not
particular species.
All the camels Of Arabin and Africa,
as we'll as those employed in India, be-
long to the single bumped species,
which is lightly built and long limbed
animal In comparison with its double
bumped relative the Bactrian camel Of
central Asia. Not improbubly some OF
the herds of the latter species which
are found IN the neighborhood of the
Cobb desert arc the descendants of
aboriginally wild animals, but the
Arabian camel is quite unknown in Il
wild state. nnd we are even ignorant
OF its birthplace. although 1t Is qilite

cral during the week, with
heavy yield, and the hay har-
vest is likely to crowd the
farmers, possibly to the detri-
ment of late planted cornfields,
which will need thorough culti-
walton to bring good results.
The general condition of the
apple crop is fairly good. The
yield of strawberries has been
very large, and other small
fruits are promising. Potatoes
and garden truck are doing
we'll.
We look into a cradle, says an
exchange, and see a baby boy.
At the age of Flo he is a noisy kid
with the buttons off his pants
and an eye for meaness; at
fifteen he is the devil in a print
shop; at twenty apublisher of a
country newspaper, at the head
of every enterprise to improve
and enrich the business thereof;
at thirty-fve he is an emacia-
ted and worn out man with a
bald head and holes in his pock-
cts; at fifty he is a corpse in a
cheap coffin, and the only re-
sources left behind are two ca
ses of long primer type, a Wash
ington hand press and a sub
scription book with 679 delin-
quent subscribers, who line up
and march past the coffin and
say: "He was a public spirited
fellow, but he could not save
anything"

Inequalities in the surface cf
the ground to be divided into
sections, making accuracy Of
measurement where a measure
of 66 feet is used too tedious
for contract work. All gov
ernment surveys are done by
contract imperfection instru-
ments, compass, chain, etc.
That the deputy used is another
reason for angles that are
plainly seen, when an extensive
view can be had. Then ignor-
ance on the part of the survey
or of the elements of surveying
has very much to do with the
variation of one section line
from another, which it is pre-
sumed is what is meant by
crooked section lines. This
ignorance is manifested when
the surveyor fails to run his
lines nearly enough parallel
with the exterior boundaries of
the tract he is dividing, thus
making what is called bad clos
ings and causing the enclosed
areas to fall short or overrun
the prescribed limits. Every
section line is presumed to be
absolutely straight, sometimes
the post halfway between the
section corners, technically
known as the quarter post, is
misplaced by accident or mis-
take, but the line for one mile
is considered straight, and in
all subdivisions of the sections
must be regarded as absolutely
straight. Occasionally the north
and south lines of sections are
straight for three Or four miles
while it is rare to find two miles
OF cast and west lines straight
l6y straight is meant continuous
III the same direction, that is,
the same magnetic variation OF
|declination.
