RIVERS AND GREAT CITIES.
—
Wherein the Thames and London Are
Different From Others.
London without the Thames is un-
thinkable. Not only is it the source of
the great wealth and trade of the
world's metropolis, but it brings food
and drink to its many millions. Yet
this is not the case with other great
cities of the world whose rivers have
bad little to do in the building of their
fame and position. In “The River of
London” Mr. Hilaire Belloc points the
contrast:
“Little sea borne traffic reaches Paris
by the Seine; the Tiber could never be
a street for Rome; Vienna neglects the
Danube; Antwerp protects no great
crossing nor hus ever been the nucleus
of a state. nud Rouen. the nearest par-
allel. was not the strategical pivot of
Normandy nor ever formed, as London
forms, a chief fraction in the economic
power of its province. The two rivers
which are sacred to Lyons never fed
that town: the Rhone watered but did
not lead to Arles.
The towns of Lombardy depend upon
the fertility of the Po valley, but the
stream is nothing to their commerce
or to their political eminence, and Mi-
lan and Venice and Turin are independ-
ent of it. Sarngossa was the mistress
of Aragon. but the Ebro did not make
Saragossa, and, as for Madrid. the
trickle which runs below Madrid is
best described in the story of the Span-
ish patriot who was dying of thirst
after battle, but upon being offered a
cup of water sald, "Give it to the poor
Manzanares'—the river upon which
Madrid stands.”

Mongolian Lamas. po
Every third man in Mongolia is a
Jama. Some live in tents with and on
their relatives. while others live in the
temples. The temple lamas are of the
lower type. They are coarse and filthy
and muck inferior both morally and
physically to the tent lamas. They are
pot unlike those sometimes seen bY
travelers in the Lama temple at Pek:
tng. China. The lamas living In tents
among tlie people are of a better class
and are much respected and looked up
to all over Mongolia. Sume, which
consists of the two temples and their
outbuildings. forms one of the largest
and most important jamaseries in outer
Mongolia. There are about 2,000 lamas
living here, some quite young, as Sume
is an important theological school. This
Jamasery or monastery is a town a it
self and very interesting. Lamas may
be seen here of all ages and degrees.
On the tops and corners of the temples
are prayer wheels covered with gold
leaf. These contain long prayers writ:
ten on rolls of script, and the wheels
revolve In the wind. — National Geo-
graphic Magazine.
Effect of an Explosion.
It seems incredible that an explosion
could be of such force as to cause an
ordinary steel ruil to wrap itself twice
round the trunk of a large tree, yet
there was just such a result from the
discharge of geiignite at Nanaimo, B.
C. Twelve workmen lost their lives by
this explosion. The rail was lying on
the ground fully thirty feet from the
spot at which the explosion occurred,
yet it was lifted into ibe air, sent in
the direction of the tree and twisted | House of

had been a piece of piano wire. It was
so tightly wrapped about the trunk
that it cut deeply into the green wood,
and caused great splinters to start;
out on all sides. The explosive re:
sponsible for this unique occurrence is |
one of the most powerful preparations
known. composed of nitroglycerin, ni-|
trocotton, sodium nitrate, sodium car. |
bonate and wood puip.—St. Louis Re-|

Involuntary Fasting. |
A remarkable feat of involuntary |
fasting was performed twelve years
ago by a corporal in a regiment of
French colonial infantry. On his way
to work one morning a man heard
cries proceeding from a disused mine
near Brest. At the bottom of an ex-
cavation nearly 100 feet deep Corporal
Andre Desrats was found in so weak
a condition that he could scarcely ar-
ticulate a word. When he recovered
his rescuers learned that after acci-
dentally falling into the mine Desrats
had been imprisoned for twenty-eight
days without anything to eat or drink.
But a pig can beat a man. Dr. W. B.
Carpenter in his “Manual of Physiolo-
gy" records that a pig weighing 160
pounds was entombed by the fall of a
portion of the chalk cliffs at Dover.
It was dug out 160 days later and
found to be still alive, but reduced in
weight to forty pounds.—London Mail.

The “mousedeer” of India and Africa
is the chevrotain, one of the smallest

twelve inches in height at the shoulder. '

a stiffness to the legs which has gain-
