OUR UNKNOWN WORLD.

\ Despite the marvellous advance of
exploration in various parts of the
globe, an estimate as submitted by a
member of the Royal Geographical
society in London shows that no less
than 2O,00O,00O square miles of the
earth's> surface yet remain unex-
plored.
The largest unexpiored. area is
said to be that in Africa-6,5O0 900
miles; but even North America con-
tains 100000 square miles of vir-
gin territory. 1t is surprising to
learn that there are three times as
much land awaiting the foot of the
pioneer in North America as in
South MISUNDERSTANDING Post.

THEIR MEANINGS CHANGED.

1t has been decided by Austrian
magistrates that eggs are not ''mis-
SHES" Yet Sir James Murray de-
fines a missile as anything capable
of being thrown from the hand or
from a machine or engine" Eggs
are capable of being thrown. 'Mis-
siles," like ''villain," is a word origi-
nally pleasing and respectable, that
has changed for the worse in the
course of the centuries. "Missilia"
were the sweets and perfumes thrown
by the Roman emperors among the
people, and a "missile" and a "mis-
sion" are only things sent.

COURT BALLS IN GERMANY
Couples Whose Dancing the Kaiser Is
to Witness Are Rehearsed
Very Carefully.

In the German court balls not all
those who are invited are permitted
to take part in the dances which the
kaiser witnesses.
The kaiser has no love for "the
quick and slovenly" Many months
before the ball the selected couples
rehearse the dances under the direc-
ton of Fraulein Gasperini, mistress
of the court ballet. The kaiserin
criticises freely the ladies and gen.
tlemen who show any shortcomings.
The ordinary rehearsals take place
in one of the chambers of the palace,
but the final rehearsal is held on the
eve of the ball at the residence of
one of the invited.
The princesses royal carry trains
held by two pages, but the other la
dies have to manage their own. For
married ladies the length prescribed
is about eleven feet six inches, the
trains of the other ladies being rath-
er more than half a yard less.

IRRESISTIBLE CHANGE.

If great change is to be made in
human affairs, the minds of men will
be fitted to it; the general opinions
and feelings will draw that way.
Every fear, every hope, will forward
it; and they they who persist in OPP
posing this mighty current in hui
man affairs will appear rather to re-
sist the DEGREES of Providence itself
than the mere designs of men. They
will not be resolute and firm, but
perverse and obstinate.-Edmund
Burke.

COCK FIGHTING IN ENGLAND.

Cock fighting was London pas
time in 100 and very fashionable
from the reign of Edward III. al
most to the present time. Henry
VIII. added cockpit to Whitehall
palace, where James 1. went to see
the sport twice a week.
Besides this royal cockpit there
was formerly a cockpit in Drury
lane. There was the cockpit at the
Phoenix theater and in Jewin street,
Cripplegate, Tuition street and in
Shoe lane. The famous Westmin-
ster cockpit was in Park street.

ENCOURAGE ELECTRIC OVENS.

Electric ovens for bread baking
are beginning to make their appear
ance in some of the large cities of
Europe, and the central electric sta
tons are promoting their use. The
Vienna electric plant is making ar
rangements with the bakers syndi-
cate to have electric ovens adopted
widely throughout the city, and it
offers to supply the current for this
use at special reduced rates. AS the
bakers ovens run all night, this pro-
vides an outlet for current during
the hours when the load is normally
low. There soon will be a trial oven
put in operation in order to test the
method.

PLUMBER DIDN'T WORK ALONE
His Helper Wasn't at the House, but
He Appeared In the
Bill.

+. s. Hight, the manager Of the
Willard hotel in Washington, had a
plumber at his house for several days
plumbing around.
Hight noticed that the plumber
had no helper with him. He talked
to the plumber about this lapse, and
called the attention Of his own fam
lily to a situation that he had never
observed before--a plumber plumb
ing without helper. Also he spoke
about it to various persons round the
hotel.
Presently the bill came in. In it
were charged, with great care and
particularly, large amount of ma
terials, and then occurred this line !:
"For plumber and helper, $780,"
High sent the bill back and sug-
gested that as there had been no
helper with this expensive plumber
it was his opinion that the bill was
subject to revision in that item.
He received this reply: 'Dear Sir:
1t is quite true the plumbers helper
was not at your house, but he helped
round the shop getting the tools
ready, and SO forth" Saturday

HE WAS PRAcTIcINe ENGLISH
DlscouraeIng Experience Of Japanese
Who Tried His New Learning
on Foreign Sailors.

A pathetic little story is told in
a vernacular journal. A certain va
suda Fujimaro, having read that
the only way to become fluent in a
foreign language is to converse with
persons to whom that language is
the mother tongue, started out on
search to round up foreigners who
could speak English, it being his
foremost desire to ascertain what
progress he himself had made in the
language. He eventually found his
way to Chinatown on the evening of
the fifth instant and accosted sew
eral foreigners without result. FL
nally, to his huge delight, he located
five foreigners in a grog shop in va
mashita-cho. After hastily repeat
ing various phrases of greeting more
or less to himself he screwed up his
courage and walked into the restau-
rant. After bowling several times
Yasuda opened his attack with some
thing after the following: "Gurrud
eveningu, / am Fujimaro. How you
like Japan? You spik Igirisu p
Unfortunately, he was not under
stood, and the seamen, for such
they prove to have been, mistook the
unfortunate Fujimaro for a beggar
and threw him into the road. Burst
ing with Indignation, he proceeded
to the police station, where he re-
ceived little sympathy but much
good advice. 1t is very unlikely that
Fujimaro will again visit China
town when seeking to '1mprove the
conversation. Japan Herald.
