Climate Variety In Chile.

Chile has a coast line Of 1000 miles
and the breadth of the country varies
from only 100 to $50 miles. The crest
Of the Andes marks the eastern boun-
Diary and the Pacific ocean the western.
The coast chain and the principal cor
dillera Of the Andes traverse the coun-
try longitudinally. Between them lies
the central valley, the great agricul-
tural section of the country. In the
north are the arid deserts which con-
tain the nitrates. In the south is the
Chilos archipelago and the mainland
where the rains are frequent and con-
slant. The long stretch Of coast and
the variations due to the mountain
chains afford every variety OF climate,
but the greater section of the country
may be said to have a temperate eli
mate. The mineral resources are the
natural wealth which furnish the ma
jor part Of the purchasing p0wer.-New
York Sun.

The Primary Fact About War.

We sometimes think that the dist1n-
gushing characteristic of war Is the
killing and manning Of men, but 1t Is
evident that this is not the real dis
tinction, for men are killed and MAIN
ed in time Of peace. The essential and
the one marked difference is this, that
during war a nation is a society,
whereas In peace it is an aggregate OF
individuals. So true is this, indeed,
that If a denizen from some other
world acquainted with our normal ac-
tivities during peace should visit us
when we are at war he would have
difficulty in recognizing in this smooth
Iy moving, harmonious unit the disor-
ganized weller of yesterday. Compar-
ed with the spirit that animates a So
ciety at war, the disintegration that
inevitably ensues when the sword Is
laid aside is in all practical respects
like the dissolution which sets In in
the body of man when the spirit has
taken it's fight.--"The World Storm
and Beyond" by Edwin Davies Schoon-
maker. in Century Magazine.

Questions.

There are many different kinds Of
questions, but, roughly speaking, they
all may be included In the following
three divisions; first, those which can
be answered.; second, those which may
be answered; third, those which should
not be answered. Illustrating the first
division are those questions which 9th
ers never ask Of you and those which
you never care to hear others answer;
the second includes questions which
are pointed, private, public, perplexing
and political; in fact, any questions
which simpletons assert cannot be an
swered; the third division. questions
which should not be answered, includes
what? Well, that is a question which
should not be asked.
Some people ask questions because
they wish to know more: some ask
them because they desire to show what
they already know, and some ask them
because they want to show what others
do not know.-Life.
