An African Forest.

An explorer describes a Central
Africa forest: "Ten miles west of the
lake begins the only piece of real vir-
gin forest met with. 1t L. throughout
q dense virgin forest, and almost I'M
penetrable. It consists of very large
trees of many varieties. The upper
parts are festooned with light gray
ish-green moss, hanging in long
streamers, and giving to the forest
very fantastic appearance. When
these long streamers are agitated by
q storm they make the whole forest,
seen from one of THE hills near, look
like a rough sea- Again, when the sun
Is vertical the whole forest appears
dark, but when the sun is low the gen.
eral effect on the sunny side is cur
lousy light.
"All the trees are bound together with
innumerable lianas and creeping plants
Between the stems is dense tangled
mass of lesser vegetation. The forest
stands to a great extent In the water
and mud of the swamp. A singular
feature of it is the abruptness with

plain. The grassy swamp or open
country reaches in the mighty wall
Of trees, which continue in the same
density from one side to the other.
There is no smaller wood or scrub out
side, forming transition from the OPP
en- plain of the forest.
Inside, the silence and bloom are
accumulated by the apparent absence
Of animal or bird life. There are some
herds of buffaloes that make it a
headquarters, elephants visit it occa-
sionally, monkeys and parrots ara
sometimes seen, and harnessed antel-
ope now and then appears at the edge;
BUT the general impression Left is
one Of lifelessness."

Rain AND ANIMALS.

Lions. tigers and all the cat tribe
dread rain" said a zoo keeper. "On
a rainy day they tear nervously up
and down. their cages, growing and
trembling. We usually give them an
extra ration of hot milk. That puts
them to sleep.
Wolves love a gray day of rain.
They are then very cherry. Treach-
erous as the wolf is, no keeper need
fear him On a rainy day. He is too
happy to harm fly. Snakes, too.
like rain. They perk up wonderfully
as the barometer falls and the damp
makes itself felt in their warm cases
of glass.
Rain makes monkeys glum. They
are apt from instinct, when they see
1t through the windows, to clasp
their hands above their heads and sit
so for hours. That attitude, you
know, makes kind of shelter. It is
the primitive umbrella. Selected.

CATS, ADVENTURES.

The pet cat belonging to the Kings
land firemen has been found and re-
stored to its owners. The animal
had been in the habit of going out
to fires on the escape ane was lost
at Stoke Newington a fortnight ago.
Yesterday it was seen at Highburg,
and being recognized by its collar
studded with firemen's buttons, was
taken to the nearest fire station and
thence sent on to Kingsland.
They have a similarly intelligent
cat at the general post Office, Paris.
He gets into the mail cart and &C
companies the bags to the station and
takes frequent long journeys in the
mail van. Recently, however, he was
sealed up in a mail bag and got a.
far as arseilles.--London Globe.

Washington.-A departure in fed

prisoners will take place with the
completion of the federal industrial
institution for women at Aldersan, w.

Congress has appropriated $909,1
for the prison, and government archi-
tects are now preparing preliminary
plans for a cottage system, under
which prisoners win live in commune
ties
A farm of 200 acres already has
been obtained, and negotiations are
under way for an additional 300 acres.
The capacity of the womens fed
eral penitentiary, the first of its kind
in the country, will be 500.
Federal women prisoners are now
being sent to state jails, and depart
ment of justice officials say the gov
eminent is finding it increasingly diff
feult to get the states to take pri-
soners.

the new institution, Is the daughter

Makinn War Horses Invisible

A special military commission Is
now sitting in Berlin considering the
best means of making cavalry as in
visable as possible in warfare.
Harmonizing the mems uniforms
with natural conditions as much as
possible is not enough, and the COM
mission is now discussing the adyisa-
bility OF dyeing the horses or screening
them with light canvas trappings.
AIT the War ONCE yesterday it was
said that several experiments had been
made in this direction during the war
In South Africa.
One official said: "My horses were
dyed, but it was found that the dye
soon washed or all except gray horses.
Several vegetable dyes and Condys
Fluid diluted were used, but the ex-
periments proved OF little value.
Canvas trappings made the horses
Derspire and impeded their movements,
and besides, when the sun is behind
the cavalry, the horses legs can be
seen through the canvas.
The best screen for cavalry used in
South Africa was . combination OF
various heather-like shrubs picked up
on the veldt. Hhcse plants were in
many cages strung upward and dawn
ward from the trappings, and gave the
appearance, when cavalry were moving
slowly across the sky line, of waving
vegetation"

MARBLE FROM rIsaR.

One of the most beautiful things
about the magnificent waiting-room
of the new Pennsylvania Terminal
in New York is the stone facing,
which was imported from italy and
taken from the bed Of the River II.
Der. This stone. carefully dressed,
has been used a good deal in the
ceilings and upper walls The wait
ing room which is 277 feet long, 1903
feet wide, is deeply impressive as one
enters it from Seventh Avenue. A
large man feels very small because
of the tremendous dimensions of the
room This room is faced by the
big concourse and on either side of
it are smaller waiting rooms, one for
men and one for women, with dining
rooms, comfort and other rooms.
Passing from the waiting room out
into the concourse, where one finds
the train signs and the stairway lead
ing down to the trains, creates the
feeling of going outdoor because of
its great height, ard the fact that its
whole upper part is made of plate

shades and tints, of the clouds and
sky above it, When the sky is Of
deep blue, so is the roof of the wait
