Size of a Hectare.

The use of the term hectare in
the proposed treaty between Mex
leo and the United States has given
rise to some discussion of the ap-
oroximate size of a hectare in
English acres. A reference to
Webster shows that a hectare is a
French measure containing ten
thousand square metres, or nearly
tive and a half English acres.
According to the new treaty, in
future all bancos containing not
more than two hundred and fifty
hectares, or having a population
of not more than two hundred and
fifty souls shall pass to the dominion
and jurisdiction of the country to
whose side the within of the Rio
Gran6e shall transfer it. Putting
this into English acres, the size
limit of such bancos may be COM
puted approximately at six hun
dred and twenty-five acres. Any
bancos containing more than that
area will remain under the domin-
ION of the country to which it
previously belonged.

WHERE IS HADES7
Different Ideas as to the Location of the
Internal Regions.

The ancient philosophers we're of
the opinion that the internal regions
were located at an equal distance
from all parts of the earth's surface,
which may be the foundation for the
modern idea which locates hell at
the center of our planet. This belief
in a centrally located place of tor
ment or utter humiliation appears
to have existed among the Jews at a
very early date also. According to
their belief, there were three pas
sages leading to 1.-THE wilderness,
by which route Dathan, Korah and
ADRIAN descended; the sea, because
it is written that Jonah cried to
God out of the belly of hell, and a
third passage, which last was at Je-
rusalem.
This third and last idea of the
mouth of hell being located in the
capital of Palestine is founded upon
the Biblical passage which says,
''The fire of the Lord is in Zion, and
his furnace is in Jerusalem" The
Mohammedans, who are noted for
their superstitious regard for the
number seven, declare that hell is
provided with seven gates, each in
tended for the followers of the diff
ferent religions. The first is for
recreant Mussulmans; the second,
very wide and with shutters always
standing invitingly ajar, is for
Christians only; the third, located
near the second and almost as wide
and roomy, is reserved for Jews;
the fourth gate is the one through
which the spirits of the Sabeans will
enter the land of torment. Like the
last two, it is wide enough to do a
wholesale business without crowd
ing. The fifth is a small loophole
Of a gate intended for the sect of
the Mail, sect so insignificant that
the Mohammedans' he'll idea appar-
emily grudgingly allowed a separate
opening for their spirits when on
the way to eternal punishment. The
sixth gate, the only circular opening
in the walls of hell, is the gate by
which the pagans will enter. Why
the pagan gate is believed to be cir
cular l have never seen explained.
The seventh gate in the walls of the
Mohammedan hell is reserved for
the hypocrites of all religions.
Strange to say, it is one of the
smallest of the gates.
Winston, the English astronomer,
believed hell to be located on COM
ct, and that one moment the damn
ed were suffering in the blistering
rays of the sun and the next in cold
hundreds of degrees below zero.
The Christian idea of hell, old as
it is, gives but very dim outline of
the probable location of the 'lake
which burneth forever and ever"
also there is a controversy as to
whether it really burns forever and
ever" or only has effects which are
everlasting in their nature. = st.
