However the crews on hts dredges both at Solomon and Coun- cil are with the machines and will be ready to start when the 'grounn is in proper condition for digging. He expected from Council advices received, that the Melsing dredge would start up today.

There was a report that interests represented by Geo.. D. Schofield would or might take an option on the dredge. There was also some talk of removing it elsewhere.

Antin,ritx of .h. Ballet.

Strictly defined, the ballet Is proper ly theatrical exhibition of the art of dancing in its highest perfection, com plying generally with the rules of the drama as to its composition and form. It was in existence in Italy as far back as A. D. 1500. the court of Turin in that day making especial use of 1t and the royal family and nobles taking part in 1t. The ballet was first intro duced in France in the reign of Louis XIII, and both that monarch and Louis XIV. occasionally took part in its dances. About the year 170O wom- en made their first appearance in the ballet, which up to that time had been performed exclusively by men, as was the case also with plays and operas, but no woman ballet dancer of any note appeared until 1790.

AustraIia,, stony pesert.

The great stony desert of north Aus tralia was discovered by Captain Sturt an Australian explorer. in 1856. II is north of the river Darling and Is about 300 miles long and 100 broad consisting of sandy dunes or ridges. Its want of trees, except along the creeks, gives the country sterile ap- pearance. These ridges were probably formed by the joint effect of winds and 8 gradually retiring sea. Accord ing to Captain Sturt, these waters were gradually lost by evaporation or car ried to some undiscovered sea. The only vegetation, growing scantily. Is prickly acacias in full bloom, all of stunted growth. Water is scarce ex- cept fin the creeks which are sheltered. and this is generally brackish- Few travellers care to traverse this inhos- pitable desert.

leuqinus of the Marines.

The stout leggings worn by members of the United States marine corps are not a purely decorative adjunct to their very natty uniforms, as popularly supposed by civilians, but are pro lection for the men against tropical diseases while in foreign service, naval surgeons say. Many of the most dan gerous tropical diseases are transmit ted by the bites of insects. Among these are malaria, yellow fever, bu- bonic plague, hookworm, elephantiasis and tropical ulcer. Pleas and mosqui- toes are the prime carriers, and they make their first attack upon the ankles, thence working their way over the whole body The leggings worn by the United States marines afford splendid protection to the ankles against fieas, mosquitoes and infected dirt.

oussr Tail of a Bird.

Signal officer of the birds army corps h the racket tailed humming bird. For bis duties nature has equipped him with a pair of purple flags fashioned out of two long and peculiar tail feath- CTS. He wigwags bis signals from one tree to another, issues his challenges to battle and courts his mate. When he's not signaling he's slipping honey from the flowers and trying to keep his tail from entangling itself in the brtars.
 He's a midget of the South American mountains. He has short wings, which he operates at lightning speed. Ills tail is a combination of two wirelike handles, with purple tuft of feathers at the end of each. He crosses them near the middle, and sometimes he brings the pair of ''rackets' at the ends to his head, as though trying to fan himself
 The male birds have a sort or love dance which they engage in during the mating season. Then they play all sorts of tricks with the rackets.-Phil- adelphia North American.

pioeons In con,tantinopIe.

In no big city in the world are there so many tame pigeons as in Constanti- nople. In many squares in London there are small fiocks of pigeons, but In the Turkish capital they are to be seen by the thousand. These pigeons are sacred, and, indeed, many a wealthy Turk leaves money to be de voted to buying food for them. The story of why they are sacred is rather interesting When Mohammed, the Turkish prophet, was flying from his enemies he hid in a cavern. At the mouth of the cavern two pigeons built their nest, so tradition runs, while across the entrance a spider spun its web. The soldiers who came along some days later felt certain that no one had entered the cave. seeing the birds nesting and the spiders web, and so never troubled to enter t and search. Ever since then the Turks have held pigeons and spiders to be sacred.
