The deposits in that state are situated in the extreme southwestern part of the state in the southwestern corner of Brewster coutny, about 300 miles southeast of El Paso, about 100 miles south of the line of the Southern Pacific railway, and from seven to fifteen miles north of the Rio Grande. They lie in three areas, known respectively as Terlingua, Study Butte and Chisos districts.

 No doubt the one great reward of the persistent traveller is to find new varieties of his fellowman. Cairo is the pousse cafe of humanity-probably the most cosmopolitan city in the world The guide books talk about rock sombs and mosques. but the travellers find their real enjoyment in the bazaars and along the crowded streets and on the sheer banks of the Nile, which stand out as an animated panorama for hundreds of miles The first hour in Cairo is compensation for many an
 hours of tedious travel. Once more in the sunshine, the soft but gamey odor of the Orientalism soothing the nos trils, a lively chatter of unfamiliar languages; an intervening throng of turbans, gowns, fezes, swarthy faces the pattering hoofbeats of spangled donkeys and the stealthy sweep of dig nified cAmels-so much to see that one needs four pairs of eyes to catch all parts of the picture and at least a half dozen fountain pens to keep score of the .'ttractions.

 It may afford consolation to the large number of people who remain at home to know that only about five per cent of foreign travel Is really worth while. MT.
