In recent news from Tripoli we find refe-

oasis What is all olsis?
Now it must be CLEARLY understood that
we ask this question:, and intend to answer
it, solely for the sake of our Younger readers.
The answer is to be a short lesson in Geo
graphy for them. So their elders may pass
it by; unless indeed anyone, out of curiosity
to see what we have to say to the young
people, should follow Us through, in which
case we will, of course, not order him off
the premises.
Well then, what is an oasis? II we do not
know we may turn to dictionary, if we
own one, and if not " can ask a friend who
does own one to refer to the word for Us.
In these days, however, when books are so
very cheap, anyone Can own Il Dictionary,
even if it is only a small one, and it is an ex-
ecllent thing to get into the habit of refer
ring to it; we can often learn something by
so doing. even II we already know the mean
ing of the word.
We have before US n Penny Dicl,oDarH
said to contain over 10000 words, and we
look for oasis. We find:
"O-a-sis N. fertile spot in desert, That
is very good. We at once have before cur

How is the water used? What is grown?
Who are the growers ? and 50 on.
La this way. you, see the question What
Is an oasis may expand into a rather wide
one after all.
The parts of Africa where GASES are to be
found must necessarily be desert, anl the
main stretch Of desert is towards the north,
extending east and west from the coast of
the Allan tic to the Red Sea, relieved only
by the yerdant valley OF the Nile. The bulk of
it sometimes the whole is called the Sahara,

In the north west it is separated from the

Morocco ami Algeria, but in TripOIl the
mouutpius EN- and the desert comes down
to the sea-shore, which accounts for our
healn9 Of an oasis close to the city. The
countries north Of the desert communicate
with the countries south of il by caravans OF
clmels, which follow routes where they meet
with q succession of o,s.s, and can thus
secure fodder and water for the camel. and
food and water for the men. Gases are of
all sizes, the largest being over 100
miles long and 1 or 5 miles wide. This
giant among oases lies ia a valley
running roughly parallel with the Nile

OF it, and is known rs the Great Oasis. There

Fearless Snake Hunters Nab The
 Festive RattIers
Annual Visit to the Schagticoke Den Produces Half a Dozen of the Venomous Reptiles

The proverbial smiling skies greeted the eighth annual hunt of the Schagh- ticoke Rattlesnake club on the Schagh- ticoke Indian Reservation, near South Kent, yesterday when 45 men, armed with pronged sticks, piloted by a full blooded Schaghticoke Indian and re- inforced by Ambulance Surgeon Ed ward c. Krause of the Bridgeport Emergency hospital. secured the crag- gy fastnesses of Rattlesnake Den in their roundup of the venomous rat tiers.
 Ed Pan, the Indian also known as Ed Harris, was bitten on the forearm. but prompt use of the homely methods known from time out of memory by the Pequots and Schaghticokes, avert ed serious results. Unused to the ex- ertions of mountain climbing, Dr. Krause suffered two falls down the mountain side, escaping each time with trivial bruises, and once carrying with him, Fritz Pfau, who suffered a pain- full wrench of the left shoulder.
