Odd Contrasts In Climate.

New York is usually thought Of az
being directly west from London. 1t
is, however, despite its far more rigor-
GUS climate, 900 miles nearer the equa.
tor than is the British capital The
bleak coast of Labrador is directly
west of London. The same line passes
the southern part of Hudson bay and
Lake Winnipeg On the other side Of
the continent it touches the southern
extremity Of Alaska and continues
through the center of the isthmus of
Kamchatka and Siberia and Russia to
Homburg.
1t is astonishing. too, to reflect on
the fact that Montreal with it's win
tiers Of extraordinary severity, is $50
miles nearer the equator than Is Lon
don. Montreal, indeed, IS on the same
degree Of latitude as Venice.
Another illustration of the unexpect-
ed In contrasts Is found in a COMPARE
son of st. Johns, Newfoundland, with
Paris. Paris has winter Of compare
tive mildness, while st. Johns is q re-
gion of bitter cold and fogs, with drift
ing icebergs along its coast. Yet st.
Johns Is 100 miles nearer the equator.

black forest that lie on the shout
ders of these sharp hills. Wild,
lonely and almost terrible, yet in
expressively beautiful are these I'M
trodden mountains of FIJI.
Later on we pass through BAN
boo forests, the strong light sitting
down through the delicate foliage,
producing a strange effect of black
and white, very closely resemblinga
snowy wood in midwinter. Gran
ges, lemons and guavas line the
way, and these are very acceptable
during hot ride. Kind, gentle
hammered, old men welcome us,
and it is hard to believe that these
white-haired men were once canni-
balls in their younger days, yet it is
true, and they show us the long
wooden bowls in which human
flesh was served, and the utensils
with which they prepared it for the
feasts. In the houses in which we
sleep for the night feasts of human
flesh have been served, and had we
been here fifty years ago we would
have been eaten instead of eating
the chicken which was served tous.
The most interesting part of the
trip through the interior is the ex- T
IRENE hospitality Of the natives.
They prepare feasts for us, organize
dances for us, call to us and ask us
to spend a day or q week with
them. 1t is all spontaneous and
has nothing of a desire to make
money out of us. 1t is refreshing
to one who has always felt that ev-
cry attention shown him in
lands was for the purpose
Of extracting coin. But leave
here for still stranger country
the Solomon islands where man is
still looked upon as food.

PEAR IN THE RECORDER.
Suva, FIJI, October g. Suva,
the capitol of FIJI, and the most i'm
portant town of the group of islands,
is reached in few hours from Lee
vuka. 1t is situated on the great
island of Vita Lew, which is more
| than one hundred miles, and which
boasts of two rivers large enough
for steamers to penetrate a good
way up their courses. 1t is not my
intention to write about town life
in any of the ports of these islands
where white men frequent. The
way to see these people is to go to
the interior, and there is nothing
more delightful to one who is seek
ing the strange than a trip through
the highlands of Fiji. The scenery
is incomparatively lovely, and the
natives, unspoiled by contact with
the whites, are kind and polite, and
the soul of hospitality.
Away from the white man and
all his works, in the heart of the
mountainous country, and in the
midst of new, strange and interest
ing scenes. the traveller enjoys a
surfeit of new sensations. Much
of the scenery is so strange and in
teresting that it is almost a crime
to hurry through. Solitary crags,
a thousand feet high, looking like
monuments raised to some dead gi-
ant; rolling uplands of Guinea
grass; plains all dotted with quaint
screw palm, looking like trees on
stills; beds of scented pink orchids;
dim pathways shaded by tall tree
ferns; widely fantastic purple crags
torn into strange shapes, and last
ly gap in the wall of rocks, and
we are looking down upon cluster
of toy-like hay stacks-but they
are not hay stacks, they are Fijian
houses. 1t is a Fijlan mountain
village and here we make our first
stop for the night.
The village is surrounded by al
pig fence of bamboo, and within
the fence is a neatly cut lawn.
Each house is on an individual
mound, and is built of bamboo
poles with a matched roof. At the
end of each house is a raised dais
on which is a number of mats. This
is the sleeping place. We are met
by the chief of the village and es-
corted to one of the houses from
which the family is ousted. Wei
unpack our stores and make tea,
and soon natives come, bringing
vans, bananas and other fruits.
After eating we go to the river and
take cool bath, and then natives
come and entertain us with singing
and dancing.
The news of our journey through |
the country had preceded us and
we found the people of every viii
lage ready to receive us with offers
of food and lodging. 1t was with
difficulty that we restrained our
carriers from eating at every house.
Leaving the village in the early |
morning our horses cantered along
the top of the ridge, surrounded by |
a world of towering peaks, strange
ly colored in black and turquoise
blue. This curious coloring is char
acteristic of the FIJI highlands, and
it is wonderfully lovely. Brilliant
as they are they are rendered more
vivid by contrast with lines of

THOSE HATS

Editor Progress: For good ana
sufficient reasons, | am a bachelor,
and hence stand in need of all the
unalloyed pleasures, indigenous to
Charlottesville. Therefore, after a
hard days work, and good sup
per. | am won't to wend my way
down to the Rex or the Lyric, and
lose myself, for the nonce, in the
red blood of tragedy or the milk
shake of comedy. These things are
good for the soul (and the liver,)
because they help us to forget what
we shouldn't remember, and re-
member to forget what we should
forget to remember. The inocula-
ton doesn't last long, but oft re-
peated, it makes life case of vari-
oloid, rather than continent small
pox.
Now, then. Going early, we Sc
cure seats with an unobstructed
view of the fashlight. Presently,
however, the air begins to rustic,
and before we know it forest of
flowers and poultry seems to have
sprung up around us. Old hens
rest on bowers of violets; hawks
scowl from Businesses of bullrush;
hamingoes flourish meath cabbage
roses, while owls, crows, cranes,
condors and bald eagles, strut or
fappreen or careen over a perfect
wilderness of evergreens and CATO
nine-tails! The air is fairly irrup-
tive with fowls and fauna. The
hashlight becomes obscured by a
thousand waving wings and weeds.
We crook and crane and finally get
corrugated slit view of the cam
vass but not for long. Presently
there is another rustling of the air
"a soft "swish" and the entire
scene is blotted from view.
The expected has happened. A
mighty "Merry Widow" harbor-
ing a botanical garden, and a me-
nagerie of rampant and winged
beasts, has slowly decended upon
us, and wiped out the universe!
The other night Charlotte Corday |
was on. We had followed the
brave girl from her country village
to the bath tub. The wretch was
scribbling with turkey quill, and
the dagger had left one bosom for
burial in another. The stride had
been taken, the jaw was set, and
the arm was defending, when a
buzzard wing swooped down be-
tween, and wiped out the "axe, "
the climax and the anti-climax!

The Knockout Blow.

The blow which knocked out CorbetS was revelation to the prize fighters. From the earliest days of the ring the knockout blow was aimed for the jaw, the temple or tho jugular vein. Stomach punches were thrown in to worry and weary the fighter but if scientific man had told one of the old fighters that the most vulnerable spot was the region of the stomach, he'd have laughed at him for an ignoramus. Dr. Pierce is bringing hoRe to the public parallel fact; that thd sSQmacS is the most vulnerable organ out of Nhe prfSe ring as well as in it. We protect bur, ,hR6S, throats, feet.and lungs, but thesAshiAl\ye are utterly indiffer- ent to, until diseASAinds the solar plexus and knocks us out.
