be radium- bearing ores and extrac-
tions. These are now being prepared
at the State Bureau of Mines and will
be forwarded soon. Accompanying
the ores will be photographs taken by
the use of radium, and altogether the
display is calculated to awaken much
interest.

MADNESS or THE DESERT.
Effect Of the Monotony Of silence Upon
Human Beinus.

human Beings.
at is not generally understood that
the silence Of the desert has a mad
dening effect upon the human BRAIN"
said traveller whose experiences are
not often paralleled. "Monotony Is
more severe than anything else deriv-
ing its entire pain from mental effect.
The monotony of silence is worse than
any other kind.
Take man away from the hum Of
the work of men and send him out on
the alkali deserts OF Arizona, and the
deep silence becomes awful and Is
sometimes unbearable. All at once,
without any previous symptom some
member of the party may stop sudden
ly with a dazed look on his face and
wild expression In his eye. He is
dangerous. His reason Is torn in wild
confusion. Anything or anybody IA
miliar infuriates him.
He must be disarmed and bound
at once or he will deal death to the
whole party. He Is possessed Of "des-
ert Madness brought on by the mo-
notony OF silence. He suffers ex-
circulating mental anguish. He needs
to be relieved by being brought back
to his accustomed surroundings.
con this account men used to the
desert refuse to go out with those
with whom they are well acquainted.

a stranger. II there is no friend in

To Save Island from Sea.

The Island of Nordstrand, the only
portion of once fertile North Friesland
which is as yet unclaimed, is now to
be saved from the sea by the con-
struction of a large dyke. The island
was first separated from the mainland
by terrific storm in 1884, during
which over six thousand persons
were drowned.

Time was when, even among the
cities of Flanders, famous for ages
for their silvery bells, the bells of
Brussels enjoyed pre-eminence. The
city used to possess seven great peals
whose slvery voices shed their har.
monies daily over the city. One after
