QUEST or Ell DORADO.
That Elusive Land of Gold and Jewels
In South America.

In South America.
Guiana is bounded ON the north by
fine great river 0rinoco and on the
south by the still greater river ANA
1On. These two grand rivers are con-
oected with one another. the Cisiqui-
ure, branch from the 0rinoco, falling
into the Rio Negro, a tributary of the
Amazon. Within Guiana itself are
many rivers of very considerable size.
The kingdom of FL Dorado was re-
puted to exist somewhere between the
Rio Branco and the Essequibo, called
by the Indians the Brother of the ORR
noco. Manoa, the capital, was said to
be somewhere between the Rio Branco
and the Rupununi, tributary of the
Essequibo. From the thirties of the
sixteenth century some eighteen expe-
ditions had been sent by the Spaniards
to Guiana In search of the golden king
dom. Diego de Ordas, one of the cap
tains Of Cortes at the conquest of Mex
leo, led the first attempt in 1881. After
him followed many a brave cavalier,
but all was in vain, and disasters as
well as failure attended nearly all the
expeditions.
From state paper in the public rec
ord office, London, it appears that in
1880 persons who Travelled in America
had reported that there was place
where the women wore great plates of
gold, covering their whole bodies like
armor. In every cottage pearls were to
be found; in some houses a peck. Ban
quoting houses were built Of crystal,
with pillars Of massive silver, some Of
gold. Pieces of gold as big as mans
fist were to be found in the heads of
some Of the rivers. Raleigh read ac-
counts Of these expeditions, but their
want of success did not deter him from
attempting to find the golden region

Quality. KEYNOTE Of British crop,

Quality must always be the keynote
of British agriculture, as the area Is
far too small to enable farmers to
grow the quantities of produce that
the newer countries of the world can
yield; and in no connection is quality
Of greater importance than that of the
cereal crops. Wheat, oats and barley
will occupy considerable portion OF
the land, and the condition In which
they are put on the market substantial
ly affects the prices they realize.-Lon.

Government of japan,

The government Of Japan is not an
absolute monarchy, the mikado being
largely responsible to the parliament
and, to degree, to the people back Of
the parliament. Under the mikado is
the house of peers, composed Of the
princes of the blood and the nobility
and the representatives of the vested
interests, and the house of representa-
tives, which is made up of some $50
members, representing the masses Of
the people.-New York Journal.

A LIGHT IN AN AUTOMOBILE.
Use One of the Spark Plugs When You
Have No Matches.


Have No Matches.
Did you ever while making an auto
mobile tour find yourself on lonely
country road, perhaps miles from the
nearest house, and suddenly discover
that you had no matches? If you
were anxious to light the lamps or ca
ger for q smoke such discovery
would not prove at all conducive to
the smoothness Of your temper.
There is simple way in which any
one may secure light without the aid
Of matches. You may be anxious for
smoke or it may be getting dark and
you want to light your lamp, but in
any event you can secure the neces-
sary light if you will follow these di-
rections:
Unscrew one of the spark plugs and
let it lie on the cylinder head. Wrap a
small wisp Of waste around the end Of
any small stick of wood or if there is
none handy wrap it around the end of
a screwdriver or any other tool. Dip
the waste in the gasoline until it is
thoroughly soaked. OF course you
should have only very small piece of
waste; otherwise the blaze will be too
big for you to handle. After dipping
this in the gasoline lay it close to the
spark plug and turn the engine over I'm
til this plug sparks. This will ignite
the waste and you will have little
torch sufficient for lighting your lamp.
Even if there is heavy rain or snow,
you can secure light in this manner
sufficient for your needs.-Detroit Free
Press.
