Bellefonte, Pa., April 14, 1893.
Across the Great Desert.
Incidents of a Journey Across the Sand Plain.
The preparations for the start seem
unusually slow and tedious this morning
as though both men and beasts were
loth to let go this last skirt ot civiliza-
tion and embark on the dreary wastes of
the desert. At length, however, the
last camel has submitted to his load,
the last pall of the kalian (water pipe)
has been inhaled by his driver, and the
tony file of camels begins to wind out
from the enclosures of the little village.
We soon leave behind the last strug-
gling attempts at cultivation, and the
vast plain of the great desert stretches
betore us in all its dreary desolation.
At first we find ourselves on coarse, yel-
lowish gravel, rising in low, gentle un-
dulations, like the swell of ocean sub-
siding after a storm | Vegetation has
not yet entirely disappeared. Track
there is none. We are the first caravan
to cross this Autumn, and have to
strike out a fresh track for ourselves.
After a few hours’ traveling the last
vestige of plant life disappears. Not a
twig, not the smallest blade of grass
can be seen, and we know it will be
some five days before we see the next.
The gravel has changed its character,
and now consists of small, flattish,
rounded pebbles, of a glossy black, with
an understratum of lighter colored
sand,
The surface is a delightful one to
travel on, firm and smooth as a well
kept garden path, still rising and falling
in a gentle swell Here last year's
tracks are plainly visible, narrow paths
of lighter color, where the black surface
pebbles have heen displaced by the
camels’ feet. As the sun begins to ap-
proach the western horizon our guide
calls a halt--at nowhere in particular it
would seem, as there is absolutely no-
thing to distinguish the pot among the
surrounding leagues ot smooth black
pease) The day has been oppressively
ot, the thermometer standing in the
neighborhood of ninty-five degrees in
the shade, but the moment the sun‘goes
down the air gets chill raw and one is
glad of a thick ulster. These extremes
of temperature are pecular to the desert
and get more marked the farther we
penetrate toward the center of the tract.
We did not ran short of water,
though it got daily more and more un-
pulitable, as owing to the constant
evaporation of fresh water, the residue
grew salter and salter. However, it
asted until, on the afternoon of the
sixth day, the first fringe of scanty vege-
tation showed that we were within a
few miles of fresh water. A few miles
farther on the camels, tired as they were
broke into a run, and in a delightful
little spring, flowing forth from beneath
aclump of palms, quenched thirst for
the first time for 130 hours.
Many are the varieties of soil and
surface to be met with in the Great
Desert, but they all have one common
characteristic— utter barrenness, and the
absence of all forms of life. Not an an-
imal, not even a bird of prey or an in-
sect—not the lowest or hardiest forms
of vegetation are 10 be found in these
ghastly plains, which seem as if they
might be part of a surface of a dead
Planes The smooth black gravel above
escribed extend over but a small por-
tion—that nearest the outer edges of the
region. Beyond thisis found a wide
tract of loose, coarse sad, which the
wind has raised in waves.
The central deserts of Persia consists
of a plateau with two central depres-
gions. They form roughly a figure
eight, of which the longer axis runs
from north-west to south-east, and of
which each oval is an elevated shallow
basin whose edges are about 3,000 and
centre about 1,000 feet above sea level.
They are separated by a narrow neck of
hilly country, which is but little less
than a desert than the rest but contains
a few widely scattered springs of fresh
water and a few miserable villages,
The firm, black gravel if found chiefly
on the higher ground at the edges.
The coarse, loose sand is a iittle lower.
Then the ground breaks into strange
blocks and mounds of the Shabr-i-Lut,
which, as we descend, give place to the
Ihe Kavir, and in the lowest part of all
is the salt swamp. Whatever water
falls on the basin naturally finds its way
80 this spt, and sinking through the
loose upper soil, dissolves the stratam,
causing it to effervesce and throw the
overlying beds of sand into the strange
forms se=n in the Kavir, while in the
very centre sufficient salt is dissolved
to dominate the mud, and when dry, to
form great sheets of glistening salt on
the suriace.
The climate of the great desert I have
said before, remarkable for sudden and
extreme variations of temperature, and
the region ean only be crossed with
safety from October to April. Even
during these three months the traveler
is likely to be over taken by hurricanes.
My guides informed me that these
storms are sometimes accompanied by
now, in which case they are frequently
fatal. In summer the intense heat and
the prevalence of the wind which we
call thesimonn, and the Persian the bad.
i-sam render it madness to attempt to
cross this desert. To be overtaken by a
simoon is said to be certain death. From
the description given by Persians, the
fatal effects of this wind would seem to
be produced by the sudden and com-
plete abstraction of every particle of
moisture from bodies with which it
comes in contact.— London Graphic.
Confusion at the Fair.
The carelessness of American exhibi-
tors at the World's Fair is likely to
causy a serious trouble in arranging the
exhibits, and may delay the installation
of some displays until June 1. A
blockade of freight cars is almost certain
to occur at Jackson Park. Foreign ex-
hibitors have followed instructions, and
their goods bave been handled with
more dispatch than those Americans ex:
hibitors who have neglected to properly
mark their cars.
The ‘prssible congestion inside the
park, is causing serious trouble to the
railroads, for, with the track room in-
tide the park largely taken up, the over
flow of cars is forced back upon the rail-
roads, which are more than ordinarily
‘buey at present.
Useful Skunks.
A correspondent of the New York
Tribune say. that the hop-growers of
Ostego County have discovered —what
naturalists have long been trying to
make farmers understand —that skunks,
instead of being their enemies, as they
formerly supposed, are among their
most useful friends. As one hop grower
expressed it, “Nowadays we- protect
skunks as carefully as we dosong-birds.”
Hop-yards, it appears, are infested by
a certain kind of grub which gnaws oft
the tender vines at the root, and this
grub is the favorite food of the skunk.
As a general thing the skunks sally
forth at nightfall, but now and then
they are to be seen at work in broad
daylight. The proceeding is an 1nteres-
ting one to watch.
The skuck begins his quest on the
head over a hill of hops and listens. If
a grub is at work upon one of the four
trailing vines, his quick ear is sure to
bear it. At once he begins to paw up
the earth, and presently he is seen to un-
cover the grub and swallow it with un-
mistakable relish.
Then he listens again, and if he hears
nothing, proceeds to the next hill. And
80 he goes on till he has had his fill.
Now that the skunks are no longer
molested, thev have become compara-
tively fearless. Sometimes, we are told
they keep up their operations even while
the cultivator is driven between the
rows.
One man rejoiced in the presence of
a skunk family—two old ones and their
five kittens. The young one followed
their father and mother about the yard
in broad duy light, while people stood
looking on. They were both ornamen-
taland useful ; but oneday two strange
dogs came along and killed them. The
farmer actually shed tears when he saw
via Pennsylvania Railroad.
Preliminary Announcement,
The Pennsylvania Railroad Company
announces that the Trunk Line Pas-
senger Committee has authorized the
railr ad companies to sell excursion tick-
ets to Chicago on accout of the World's
Columbian Exposition on a basis of $ 0
from New York by fast express trains
scheduled to make the run in thirty-five
hours or more. Proportionate rates will
prevail from all stations in Trunk Line
territory. The round-trip rate from
Philadelphia will be $36.50 by fast
trains, and $29.20 by the thirty-five-
hour trains, starting from New York.
From Washington and Baltimore the
rate will be $34 50 by fast express trains,
and $27.60 by slow trains.
These tickets will not admit ot a stop-
off en route, and can be used for a con-
tinuous passage only. The tickets will
be onsale from Apnl 15th to October
80th inclusive, and will be valid for re-
turn trip until November 15th, 1593.
All the lines leading to Chicago will
sell tickets good for pussage going by one
route returning by another, so that a
person may go out by the Pennsylvania
Railroad, and, if he wills, return by the
New York Central, Baltimore and Ohio
Erie, orany other trunk line, or go out
by any other line, and return by the
Pennsyivania.

was matter-of fact all the way through.
No foolishness, no tnfling with or in the
every-day affairs of this busy old lite.
“Mr Conductor, what time do we get
into Parkersburg ?7
“Ten-twenty,”” replied the official po-
litelv.
“Yes. Well, what time can I get a
train on west ?”’
“Nine twenty.”
“To-morrow ?”’
“To-night.”
“Conductor, don’t take me for a fool
because my beard grows the wrong way
and my clo’es suggest whippoorwills
and pennyroyal. I'm serious.”
“So am I, good friend. You can
make it all right.”
“Wall, now how?”
“Just keep your seat.”
“And leave town an hour before I
get into it 7”
“That’sthe idea, my good friend 2
“Look h’yer. You may be a good
conductor, an’ know all the stations, an’
the spotters, an’ how to knock down 40
per cent o’ the receipts, but when you
claim to have a reversin’ lever on the
sun, you're off, decidedly off.”
“But the time changes an hour at the
river.”
“Then, at this rate, if you go on to
San Francisco, I'll get there some time
last week. I guess Ull get off and wait
till I catch up with myself.”

States. The Kansas Crop of 92.
Never in the histo'y of Kansas has that
state had such bountiful crops as this year.
The farmers cannot get enough hands to har-
vest the crop, and the Santa Fe Railroad has
made special rates from Kansas City and oth-
er Missouri River towns, to induc2 harvest
hands to go into the state. The wheat crop of
the state will be sixty to sixty-five miliion
bushels and the quality is high. The grass
crop is made, and is a very large one; the
early potatoes, rye, barley and oat crops are
made, and all large. The weather has been
propitious for corn, and it is the cleanest, best
looking eorn to be found in the eoantry to-
day. Cheap rates will be made from Chicago,

Abraham Lincoln:
When leaving his home at Springfield, 11,
to beinaugurated President of the United
States, made a farewell address to his old
friends and neighbors, in which he said
“neighbors give your boys a chance.”
The words come with as much force to-day
as they did thirty years ago.
How give them this chance?
Up in the northwest is a great empire wait-
ing for young and sturdy fellows to come and
develope it and “grow up with the country.”
All over this broad land are the young fellows,
the boys that Lincoln referred to, seeking to |
better their condition and get on in life. |
Here is the chance!
The country referred to lies along the
Northern Pacific R. R. Here you can find
pretty much anything you want. In Minneso-

Rev. W. 0. Wright of Milesburg, Pa. Its con-
tents will be of interest to everybody, who de-
sire to save money,
Mzssrs. McCaLuont & Co.
BELLEFONTE, Pa.
Gentlemen : —
1 shall soon want another load of
your Chestiut Coke--that excellent substi-
tute for hard coal. We are delighted with it--
it makes a speedy, bright and intensely hot
fire. We have succeeded in keeping fire with
it, in our self feeder, all night. It has this ad-
vantage also—it is deprived of bitumen (which
makes smoke), sulphur and other extraneous
volitile matter; so that there is no dangerous
gas nor any offensive odor caused by its com-
bustion. It is surprising, that its good quali-
ties, as an article of fuel for domestic purposes,
are so little known or, comparatively, so little
used, especially, when we consider its com-
parative cheapness. Please send me another
load at your earliest convenience and ob!ige.
Yours respectfully,
Milesburg, Pa. (Signed) W. O. WRIGHT.

McCalmont & Co have recently pur-
chased a CRUSHER by which they
crush and prepare coke— chestnut, stove
and egg sizes, for use in cook stoves,
ranges, as well as all classes of heating
stoves and furnaces for use in houses,
churches, school houses and shops.
There is twice the bulk in a ton of
coke, that there isin a ton of hard
coal ; but there is more carbon,
actual burning material, than
there is in a ton of hard
coal. It all burns—
there is no slate or
clinker to contend
with, hence there
is a large gain
to the con-
sumer in
this par-
ticular
BECAUSE THERE IS NO WASTE.
Some
rsons
Lg found
fault with i,
because it makes
too hot a fire.
This is caused, be-
cause of the use of too
much coke at a time,
which requires to much
draft, when, thorough com-
bustion takes place it creates
too much heat hence the complaint.
Learn how much coke you need in
your stove and how much draft you
should turn on to make the necessary
heat and you will prefer to use coke to
bard coal and your experience will save
you money.
This coke is furnished at our yard or
orders transmitted to us by telephone
1162, and 1163 will receive prompt at-
tention.
