Mauritius.
From the London Chronicle.

From the London Chronicle.
Mauritus, whose condition and re-
sources are now to be studied on the spot
by special commissioners Is one of those
tropical islands whose beauty has been
sadly marred by the hand Of man. When
Bernardin st. Pierre wrote his idyll OF
Paul and Virginia he pictured 1T (as
did Besant in his story of My Little
GirrD clothed in a mantle of luXuriant
forest But the trees have long since
vanished to make room for the sugar
cane. and with the disappearance of the
forests the rainfall has proved coy: SO
that the commissioners have two very
serious problems to solve-how to lure the
wood and the water back again. The re-
turn OF the dodo, which once made glad
the heart OF the islanders, Is not within
the terms of reference.
The island two years ago celebrated tho
quatercentenary Of it's discovery by Mas
carenhas after whom the group was
named the Mascarene Islands; but the
Portuguese abandoning the place to the
Dutch. these gentlemen christened II after
their Prince Maurice. Even the Dutch
soon tired of the lonely splendor OF the
island, and France did her best with it
until we took IL over with the beginning
OF the nineteenth century. Its worst enc
mics tCday are cholera and cyclones. One
of its claims 10 fame lies In its having
furnished Theodore Hook with few
years salary for humorously pretending
TO look after its financial affairs.

SHOOTING IN CHINA
Variety Of Game Found Among the
Royal Tombs.

From the Field.
Four hours by train southwest of Peking
lie the Hsi Ling, or Western Tombs, the
mausolea Of the reigning dynasty. The
tombs lie in a large parklike inclosure
containing some sixty square miles of
broken. hilly country. in which the Chi
nese are not allowed to settle and which
may not be plowed up In consequence of
this 1t is refuge for all kinds of game
and about the only sure find for pleas
ants within easy reach of Pekng.
A kind of chamois Che Indian goraD
hills and are preyed on by the panther
and the wolf. AS soon as the frost sets in
for the winter the Chinese begin shooting
the pheasants. and although they seem to
do their best to exterminate them good
many apparently escape and provide the
stock for the following year.
The birds are shot over dogs. some of
which have really good noses. though in
appearance they differ in no way from
the scavengers Of the village streets Ii
possible tame hawk Is also taken out to
fired at. The man with the hawk takes
hunter. with his dog. proceeds TO draw
round him. If the dog puts up pheas-
ant which is missed by the Chinaman. or
a brace, only one OF which can he fired
at. the hawk is at once loosed and pheas-
ant and hawk disappear together. The
hunter reloads and follows and finds the
hawk by means OF a small bell attached

BEAVERS DESTROY FENCES.
Make Away With Half Mile for
Ranchman.

From the Denver Republican.
Beavers have been accommodating in the
state to such an extent that they have de-
stroyed property in some instances and
the owners of the property have had to
apply to the game commissioners office
for permits to kill them.
Anthony Sneeve. a wealthy cattleman,
living fifteen miles up Brush creek from
Gypsum, Col, secured a permit recently
and brought in ten hides a few days ago
He built half-mile fence from quaking
asps last fall on one portion of his ranch.
but the winter being long, the beavers
supply of food ran out. They sailed forth
and found that fence a tempting morsel.
Every post was cut off close to the
ground and the beaver then cut the rails
into short lengths. slowing these in their
huts until they were ready 10 eat the
bark. Then they carried the wood out
and fioated it down stream.
A Mrs. Bond. living half mile below
Pine in Platte canyon. also secured per-
NIT to kill beaver colony on her place.
She planted a handsome grove of shade
trees few years ago and they are now
in a flourishing condition. but colony Of
beavers built a dam in the Platte during
the late winter and they insist upon steal
ing her nice, soft shade trees unless she
stands over them with club nearly all
the time.

EXPENSIVE MEMORIALS.
Great Statue to Queen Victoria.
Commemorating a Great Fire.
From Tit-Bi

From Tit-BltS.
After eight years work the Queen Vic
toria memorial in front of Buckingham
Palace is nearing completion, and it will
not be long ere Londoners and visitors to
the metropolis are able to view one of
the finest monuments in the world. AL
together it will cost quarter of million
sterling, and 800 tons of marble will have
been used in the construction of figures
and stautettes which will go to make up
this memorial to The Great White
Queen"
The figure of her late ma esty will be
no less than 1872 feet in height, and will
depict her dressed in robes of state, sit
ting enthroned with orb and sceptre. All
the world was ransacked for seventy
ton block of fiawless marble from which
the statue might be carved: but such
block could not be obtained, and conse-
quently Mr.. Thomas Brock the famous
sculptor has been compelled to use sew
eral smaller blocks. the largest of which
weighs twenty-five tons.
The Queen Victoria memorial is prob
ably the most costly in the kingdom. al
though the famous Albert memorial must
have cost between G40o.oG0 and G50o.U0O.
The cost, provided by public subscription.
was given as S120.OOO, but 1t is asserted
that Queen Victoria S private contribution
exceeded that amount. The Albert Hall
is really part of the Albert memorial,
for II after the exhibition of 1851
that Prince Albert proposed the erection
of a great hall for music. and when he
had passed away a national subscription
was raised to carry out his wish, e20O,-
600 being obtained.
A grateful nation, too, subscribed 945,-
900 for the erection of the Nelson column
in Trafalgar Square. while the fact
should not be overlooked that every
penny of the .e1O,oOO spent on the statue
of Achilles in Hyde Park was raised by
the women of England.

Mehemet Ali told the British government
it might have Cleopatra's Needle, which
