CHAPTER discontinued.

Blake picked a path along the edge
of the rill, where the moist vegetation,
though scorched, had refused to burn.
After the first abrupt ledge, up which
Blake had to drag his companions, the
ascent was easy. But as they climbed
around an outjutting corner Of the
steep right wall of the cleft Blake
muttered curse of disappointment.
He could now see that the cleft did
not run to the top of the cliff, but
through it, like a tiny box canyon.
The sides rose sheer and smooth as
walls, Midway, at the highest point Of
the cleft, the baobab lowered high
above the ridge crest, its gigantic
trunk filling a third of the breadth of
the little gorge. Unfortunately 1t
stood close to the left wall.
Here's luck for you!" growled
Blake. "Why couldn't the blamed old
tree have grown on the other side?
We might have found a way to climb
it. Guess We'll have to smoke out
another leopard. We're no nearer
those birds nests than we were yes
terday."
by Jove, look bere!" exclaimed
Winthrope. This is our chance for
antelope! Here by the spring are
bamboos-real bamboos-and only
half the thicket burned"
What of them?" demanded Blake.
"Bows-arrows-and did you not
agree that they would make knives"
"Umph-well see. What is it, Miss
jenny"
Isn't that hole in the big tree?"
Looks like it. These baobabs are
often hollow"
Perhaps that is where the leopard
had his den," added Winthrope
Shouldn't wonder. Well go and
see"
But, Mr.. Blake" protested the GIRL
may there not be other leopards?"
Might have been; but I'll bet they
lit out with the other. Look how the
tree is scorched. Must have been
stacks of dry brush around the hole
'nough to smoke out a fireman. Wen
look and see If they left any soup
bones lying around. First, though
here's your drink, Miss Jenny"
AS he spoke, Blake kicked aside
some smouldering branches and led
the way to the crevice whence the
spring trickled from the rock into a
shallow stone basin. When all had
drunk their fill Of the clear cool water
Blake took up his club and walked
straight across to the baobab. Less
than 80 steps brought him to the mar
row opening in the trunk of the huge
tree. At first he could make out moth.
ing in the dimly lit interior; but the
fetid, catty odor was enough to con-
vince him that he had found the
leopards' den.
He caught the vague outlines of a
long body, crouched five or six yards
away, on the far side of the hollow
He sprang back, his club brandished
to strike. But the expected attack did
not follow. Blake glanced about as
though considering the ACCESSIBILITY OF
a retreat. Winthrope and Miss Leslie
were staring at him, white-faced. The
sight Of their terror seemed to spur

What the Chinese Say About Women

The Chinese have many trite say

the following:
Never trust vain women, for she

Listen to the voice OF an old

Many women, like leaderless sheep,

SIXTEEN MILES TG INCH

An international conference has re-
Gently been sitting in London for the
purpose of making the technical ar
rangements for the construction of a
new map of the world on the uniform
plan and scale of one to one million,
which is equal to sixteen miles to the
inch. These arrangements have been
concluded and will be communicated
officially by the British foreign office
through its diplomatic agencies to all
of the civilized governments of the
world, including those which were not
represented at the conference, with the
request that they proceed as speedily
as convenient to prepare maps of their
own territory conforming to the plan
and scale adopted by the conference.
All of the great European nations,
the United States. Canada, Egypt, In
dia and Japan were represented at the
conference. The delegates from the
United States were Bailey Willis, geol-
ogist, and ]. S. Kubel, chief engrav-
er, of the geological survey. The scien-
tific questions involved in the PROPOSE
ton were all considered and reported
upon by subcommittee. They were
discussed and adopted after modifica-
ton in some cases, and the plan is now
complete. 1t remains only to take the
practical steps necessary to carry it
into effect, and the British government
has undertaken to construct a sample
sheet on the lines laid down as q speci-
men and publish the details agreed
upon by the conference in several Ian
guages so that they may be under
stood.
Special Symbols For Rivers and Roads.
The international map will be what
Is known as hypsometric map, and
the contour lines will be drawn in
brown at intervals of 100 meters or in
decimal multiples or submultiples of
that measure. The interval of 100 me-
ters will be used up to q certain alti-
tude, beyond which the interval for
a further altitude will be 200 meters,
the interval increasing at certain stages
up to 1000 meters and above. The
spaces between the contours will be
tinted in green for the lower attitudes
and then in different shades of brown,
increasing in darkness up to a certain
altitude, where the brown merges into
other tints, attitudes above 1000 me-
tiers being left white.
The sea will be shown by blue
tint, increasing in darkness according
to depth. All other water viii be in
blue, special symbols being used to in
dictate rivers, the navigability of riv-
ers. Instructions of various kinds, salt

international Number on Each Sheet.
A separate sheet will be published
containing a complete list of all the
symbols used, while the most impor-
tant symbols will be shown on the
margin of each sheet.
Each sheet will bear an international
number and also the name of the most
important place or feature on the
sheet, so that in whatever country or
language it may be issued it can at
once be ordered by its number and
name. The numbering starts from $50
degrees east or west of Greenwich,
and the sheets are numbered from
to 60. increasing in an easterly di-
rection. The zones extending from
the equator on each side to IS degrees
north or south latitude will be given
letters from A to V. The polar areas
will be lettered Z. preceded by the
word north or south. Thus each sheet
can be identified by its number and
letter.
Each government is expected to do
it's share of the work, and the more
important nations will divide up
among themselves the rest of the la
Dor.
Division of Expenses.
The expense of the map will be paid
by the respective governments, by geo.
graphical societies and other official
and unofficial organizations. and each
government will adopt its own plan of
distributing the results of its work to
the public. 1t Is not necessary for any
person to have the entire map unless
desired. The sheets for each country
will be entirely independent. and the
projection adopted will permit every
sheet to fit exactly together with each
of the four sheets adjoining its four
sides. These conditions are made pos
sible by adopting what is known as
modified polyconic projection-that is.
by making it a plane instead of
spherical surface.
