In Bucmah before that country be-

Mr.. j. Horton Ryley, in his most inter

traveller to tell his own story, and
quaint indeed is his account of the
white elephants. When he was at

The most crooked river in the world
is the Chinese river Hoangho, or Vel

ume and channel, says the Montreal
Family Herald. Before the great foods
of 1873 its outlet was 300 miles
south of its present mouth.
The Hoangho, in its course of 1906
miles. drains nearly 100000 square
miles of land. Its crookedness can be
gathered from the following facts:
Flowing from the Kuen Luen noun
tains, it runs northwest, then north.
east, then changes to east as far as
Hanchow, whence it flows due north
to Dunchu. Here 1t takes complete
curve eastward for some 200 miles.
then abruptly goes direct south. For
some 300 miles it flows on to Tung'
chow. then changes to an easterly d.
rection to Hoaiking. Avoiding its
former bed, it finally flows to the
northeast and enters the sea at the
Gulf of Pechili.
Other very crooked rivers are the

their direction as well. Mental fatigue
is rot like physical fatigue and re-
quires different treatment. Its warming
signs are more complicated less eflica.

are not measures OF the degree of in
ability, but indefinite and ut present
Misunderstood signs Of danger. The
degree of mental inability does not
vary proportionately to the amount
Of work done without sufficient rest.
but increases much less quickly up to
a certain amount of mental work, and
then may increase much faster, SO that
one straw of mental work may then
