"A friend and dubbed together and
discovered silver mine in Colorado.
We raised $4,000 between us to adver-
tse and pay office rent. and we were
just about to begin business when the
crash came and things went a-kiting.
III we'd gone ahead we should have lost
every dollar we put in. Would you call
that case of Providence?"
"Um! Hardly"
Then what would you term it?"
i should say 1t was a miscarriage Of
Providence. If you had gone into the
thing and swindled about 5000 people
and raked In a couple Of hundred thou
sand dollars and got away with it to the
last cent that would have been more
like Providence-that is. Providence
might have stepped in to aid your elec-
ton to the senate as an honest, incor-
ruptible man. No, l wouldn't say that
Providence was on your side l should
rather say that 1t was looking out
for the suckers just about that time.

The Weather In Africa.

Everybody seems to think Of Africa
as place Of torrid heat, with no re-
nef anywhere. But that is far from
the truth, says Chicago News. As a
matter of fact, some parts Of that
country are as temperate as our own,
ana other parts-where the ground
reaches great elevation-are cold.
Our impression of the climate of the
country is based on what we have
heard of the heat Of it's lowlands. A
priest who lived on the Pacific coast
there for eight years says that he new
er saw the mercury higher than IS de-
grees. and at Stanley Falls, where he
now lives, the highest that it ever
reaches Is 30 degrees. with nights that
are nearly always cool. But when it
comes to storms, he says, Africa beats
that European ever dream
ed of. He asserts that he once count
ed sixty-six lightning strokes in one
minute and says also that he has
known ten thunderbolts to strike with

Bio Alaska.

Few persons perhaps have clear
idea of the vast extent of Alaska, our
semipolar territory. One of the men,
bers of the geological survey party
sent there by the government several
years ago devised a unique and i'm
pressive way of giving this Informal
ton. He prepared map in which
Alaska was represented as lying on
the United States. with It's northern
edge on Lake Superior and along the
border between Minnesota and Canada
In this position Alaska covered, in
whole or in part. twenty-three states
and territories. AS matter of fact,
its area is about one-fifth of that of
the United States proper Many chill
dren know perhaps that the highest
peak on this continent, Mount Nc
Kinley is in Alaska. 1t is part of the
Alaskan range. and the survey party
found its height to be little more
than 10000 feet-Chicago News

The Carrier Pigeon.


Did you ever hear of a pigeon carry-
ing messages over long distances? The
service this little creature can tender
Is beyond belief. Long before the tele-
graph was even dreamed Of the car
rier pigeon was trained to bear mes
sages to immense distances. and in
times Of war it carried communica-
ton from the besieged city to the out
er world. The carrier pigeon post has
been cultivated mostly by the Dutch.
The process of training these little
creatures consists In taking them a
short distance from home, to which
they find their way back very easily.
This distance is gradually increased
until they are brought as far as it is
desired they should fly. The letter

the stem Of the middle feather of the
tall Here 1t neither binders the pi-
geon's flight nor will it fall off. but
when 1t is flying the other feathers
