a Theory and a Fact.

The late Senator Frye attributed his
robust health to correct habits and
fondness for sport and the world out
doors. Two months each year he en-
joyed at his camp by the Ranseley
lakes the keen delights of the rod and
gun. If there was one achievement
Of his life of which he was inclined to
boast it was that Of having caught the
largest square tailed trout ever taken
with a fly. But some time ago at 4
dinner this boast was challenged by
no less an authority than Professor
AgassiZ. That great naturalist assert
ed that the Maine senator was in er-
r0r, for it was q scientific fact that no
true trout ever attained the weight
Northumberland pounds. The follow
ing season the senator was fortunate
enough to catch an eight pound speci-
men Of the same species, which he
packed in ice and sent to Professor
Agassiz The professor acknowledged
his defeat in the following laconic line:
THE theory of lifetime kicked to
death by q fact.' THAT" commented
Senator Frye, SIS the only case / have
ever heard Of In which theorist ever
paid the slightest attention to stub
born fact. "-Boston Transcript.

a Great Spectacle.

"In the Andes, half thousand feet
higher than Pixies peak, is to be found
the Peruvian Garden Of tue Gods, ad-
mired by every traveller fortunate
enough to visit it," writes William V.
Afford, L. r. G. s., in the Century.
1T is locally called the Rock forest,
though in no sense Of the word is it 4
forest. 1t simply resembles one when
viewed at distance Of ten miles.
The traveller may be forgiven the or
ror of thinking it a forest as he sees
it for the first time and fOrgets that
he is no longer where trees grow, but
within half an hours ride Of the high
est city in the world. Cerro de Pasco,
perched, like Il condor, on the high
peaks Of the AlSles.
"The Garden of the Gods in Colora-
do boasts of few spectacular rocks.
But they are few in number, and the
area which they cover is not large.
The Andean garden covers nearly 100
times the ground and in beauty and
interest surpasses its northern coun-
tcrpart in the same ratio"
