Little five-year Void Robbie bad a
•"rest affection for all kinds of animals,
did owned a cat and a dog which he
could never l*car to have out of his sight,
and it was all that mamma could do to
induce him to allow Frincc and Tabbic
io go to the stable at uight instead of
sharing his bed. Last Summer, how
ver, while he was iu the country, spend
ing a few weeks with grandpa, he
formed a new friendship, which for a
time drove all thought of his old play
tellows out of his mind.
Out* day, while he was playing in the
garden, he espial a big, fat toad sitting
under a lettuce-lo*i, an*l busily engaged
in swallowiug a large wrorm which he
caught.
Now Rohbie ha* an inipiiriug mind, so
instead of rushing up au*t scaring him,
as niist children wouhl have ilonc, he
t v\l quietly by to watch him.
The worm was large and strong and
had a decided objection to being swal
lowed. The toad was. however, firm in
his purpose; he struggled, and swal
lowed a half inch at a time, while the
worm writhed around above his ht>a*l
and seemed about to crawl forth from
his couflnement, as the toad's jaws were
losing their grip. But he was not to be
defrauded of his dinner; so. bringing
his right hand to his aid, he succeeded,
after a little effort, in getting hold of the
worm in hi* stiwuach from the outside,
and held fast while he made an eud-of
his prey.
R.*bbie st once ran to the honse and
told his grand pa and mother what he
had seen. They could hardly credit it.
but the next day when grandpa went
out to hoe his potatoes, Robbie followed
to collect the earth worms for his pet,
who made his home under a large dnmp
of lilac bushes close bv the parlor wiu
dows. He'n.id no trouble with the small
ones, but when given an enormons old
fellow, gtamipa with his own eyes saw
the same porfor:.iauee Robbie hau wit
nessed the day before. After that, Mr.
Toad lived on the fat of the land, so to
speak, for whenever worms or bugs
were found they were thrown to hiia.
In these same lilacs a yellow-bird had
made her nest, and now there were four
bM&tital baby birds. Their mother was
very fond of them, and speut all of her
time in caring for them—bringing them
food, covering theni from wind and rain
witn her srift wines, or singing them to
sleep with the most delightful music.
The :iost was small and the birds got
bigger very fast, and it seemed some
times. when the branches swayed more
than usual, that they must fall out. One
afternoon when Robbie went to look at
them from the parlor windows, there
were but three in the nest. One had
gone, but where? He looked all around
under the bashes but could not find it.
The next tlay another one was missing,
and the Jay after the nest was empty.
But as grandpa was hunting for them
on the ground, he saw something just
disappearing down the toad's throat thai
looked imspicionslv like the legs of a
very small bird. The thought came to
him that he might pisaibly be reajxm
sible for the death of all the downy
darling*, and at once determined to have
iiirn killed iu order to see if it were so.
Robbie begged for his life, but grand
pa would not relent and called John to
come with the ax. When Mr. Toad
came to be dissected, two of the birds
were found in his stomach, and they
felt no doubt as to what had been the
fate of the others.
In one corner of the front yard there
was a large fountain, and oftentimes,
just at night, the shrill uotes of a tree
toad could be heard coming, seemingly,
from the middle of the basin. After
much search, Rohbie found him perched
on the edge of the fountain, where he
was just moistened by the spray. He
seemed quite at home there, and grew
so much accustomed to having p<jople
about that he would sing even though
they came quite near.
He sang a great deal, and as his voice
was strong and shrill, he oould be heard
at quite a distance. Mrs. Spencer, who
lived across the stre-t, was an invalid
and very nervous, and he annoyed her
so much that she often threatened to
have her husband shoot him if he wen l
not disposed of in some other way.
' The tree-toad belongs to the genus
Hyla, possesses great ventrdoqual pow
ers, and has the faculty of changing its
color to dial of the object on wh tch it
rests. f
Toads can live for a long time without
faod, and some people suppose without
air also. They are often found im
bedded in clay, solid trunks of tree*,
and even in rocks, where they are
thought to have been for many years,
perhaps cent dries, yet on being let out
of their prison they hopped off as lively
as ever.
The opinion of most scientific natura
lists, however, is that this is oither un
true or inaocurate. That t&ey can ex
ist for some time without food is true,
but in cases where they have been
found imbedded in those apparently
solid substances, there was, in fact,
some slight crevice where they obtained
air, and small insects suffioed to prevent
starvation.
The toad feeds on worms and insects,
and generally goes about at night after
liis food. It swallows its prey alive,
and oftentimes they may be seen to
twitch, on account of the tickling
caused by a large beetle or cricket in
the stomach. They are of great service
hi the garden, and so much are they
prized in England that they are collect
ed and sold in the markets, a shilling
being the usual price.
The toad differs from the frog in
having a long, well developed tongue
and no teeth.

W onUrrlal spUrr'a \\ rb.
Boys, and girls km, may be interested
to know something about the spider's
web. They will be instructed if they
read the following, taken from the
"World of Wonder*:" " Across the
' Hinuy paths' of Ceylon, where the
forest meets the open country, ami
which constitntetllie bridle-roads of the
island, an enormous spider stretches its
web at the height of from four to eight
feet from the ground. The cordage of
these webs is fastened on either side to
projecting shoots of trees or shrul>a, and
is so strong as to hurt the traveler's face,
and even lift off his hat, if he is so nu
lneky a* not to see the line. The nest
in tile eeuter is sometimes as large as a
man's head, and is cxmtinnally grownup
larger, as it is formed of successive lay
ers of the webs rolled over each other,
sheet after sheet, into a ball. These
successive envelopes contain the limbs
and wings of insects of all descriptions,
which have been the prey of the spider
and hi* family, who occupy the den
formed fh their midst. There seems to
be no doubt that the spider casts the
web ltxise and rolls it round the nucleus
in the center when it becomes over
charged with carca--se*, and then pro
ceeds to construct a fiveh one, which
in its turn is destined to be folded np
with the rest."
A Brilliant Man's Sad Story.

successful iu business, held public office
in another State and had, between the
ages of sixteen and twenty-eight, livtsl a

business of publishing a magazine to the
traveling representative of a wholesale
liquor house, and the appetite hail grown
upon him. Whisky, he said, hail got the
better of him, but Dr. D'Unger was ex
perimenting with cinchonia upon him,
and he had new hope. He wanted work.
Wonld the city editor try to find it for
him ? He would, but cinchonia must
work its perfect enre first And then he
told the story of his ill-spent life, while
his nerveless and arms trembled
in the ta'tered sleeves of his faded coat.
He hail a new hope, he said, and felt tliat
there was new life dawning npon him.
Beneath his old coat and dirtv shirt there
was energy and ability yet, Tbe continu

Women in China.
Miss King, who has traveled much in
China, thinks the Chinese ladies are as
much slaves of fashion as Western
ladies The higher classes of Chinese
ladies are tanght to control their voices;
that it is not polite to speak above a cer
tain tone. They also study attitudes
and effects before a g!a*s for hours at a
time, jmt like ours, and they bandage
their feet for the same reason that our
girls cramp theirs, and tighten their
wai-ts in order to priOToe elegance and
gentility of form. Women do not live
single in China. There is hardly a single
woman to lie found in China; all the
efforts of the parents are devoted to get
ting her married, and a female chili is
often promised to the son of a friend be
fore she is born. Daughters are unde*-
sired all over tbe world, anil in China,
with reason, even more than in America;
for the lot of a girl, if she is poor, is
terrible, and mothers and fathers, too,
would rather see them die than live to
inherit it That is the reason that fe
male infanticide is so common in
China. They consider it a justifiable
act to rid her of the evils to come.
Moreover, a daughter is hardly consid
ered as belonging to her parents or to
her own family. As soon as she is|be
trothed—which is as quickly as a suita
ble husband can be found—she is
adopted into his family, is brought up
and educated by them, and even if he
should die, would be at their disposal
to bestow in marriage, if they choose,
upon some one else. She has the al
ternative, however, of dedicating her
i selt to the memory of her affianced, and
such an act is considered very praise
worthy. If she should do so, and lived
Ito be a hundred veers old, faithfully
fulfilling aer vows, aud worshipping the
tablets of her ancestors, she wonld have
a pagoda creeled to her memory. There
are several such in China.

In work* of utility we *ttrpu-.--td this,
as we surpassed Vienna. In nil that
goes to hiiautrfy a world, to make it
attractive and civilise*!, this exhibition
will exceed any that lino prtxxdtd it.
That is because it is m them* nrto that
tho French excel, and this show is
French. The French have taken more
than half the |>a*v. They occupy the
Trvx-sdero Hall exclusively. They have
possession *>f the moat of the annexes.
They crave more rtsun. Whyn Germain
retired it was thought the blow would

rallied with renewed nr\lor, au*l every
hammer and every needle in the Repub

England makes the la -t display here
after France. Hut it is not as flue us

lw< more of the British lidauds here, but
there is not so much of the ltritiah Em

us that vou do not note here.
We miss Turkey, and with Turkey we

a part in these pageants tuat her absence
from the Champa de Mars takes away
much of the color that added interest to
Philadelphia. Brazil and Mexico are
absent, and with them we I<-s- two
unique feature* of the Philadelphia
show.
The real value of the Exposition is iu
the representations from France, Fug
land, Holland, Spain, Kclgmm and
Switzerland. These are the countries
that stand out as the most attractive.
Iu the second class I would put the
Uuitxl States, Austria, Italy aud the
Oriental countries, t'luna and Japan.
Belgium and Holland do lietter here
than with us, but I cannot see, however,
speaking from the rapid and enrsory
view tlmt one must necessarily take on
thia opening day, that any other country
does as well. As a French Exhibition
tins will surj>a*a any the world has ever
seen. As a monument to civilization it
is a glory to the age. As the protest of
a republic against war, and iu time of
war, it is a marvel, and cannot but have
an effect on overtaxed, overxlrilled and
overburdened Eur* >je that no one can
imagine. As an international show it
will not rank with that in London, or in
Boris iu or in Vienna, or Phila
delphia. Still there i- a splendor alamt
it unequalled in its way, and any one
who can come should not fail to cooie
and see.
The Alaskan*.
It is cold enough in Alaska, but not
so cold as some jxople imagine. The
natives, however, keep their chickens
under their la-ds at 'night, to protect
them from the cold. These people ar
very fond of oata, and every family owns
at least eight or ten, and night is made
hideous in consequence. In apj*arttnoe
these natives resemble uegroe*, and are
very polite and civil to every one. They
live on the flesh of the seal, for though
the whites may despise it, the natives
regard it as their chief food. Thev use
the blabber for fuel, aud to feed the
chickens. Liqnor, of which they are
passionately fond, ia not allowed on the
islands, and, therefore, they manufac
ture a kind of lxwr, composed of half
a dozen different things, rice, sugar,
water, etc., and on this decoction they
manage to get very dmuk indeed. The
seals, by the way, are very easily caught,
for they are not at all timid. A man
can walk among them as among the hogs
in a barn-yard, and they are driven up
into the island, and into pens, where
they are slaughtered. The flesh j* >*-
KS>S very little taste ; it is neither
gcxxl nor hail, and therefore ia not
pleasant to eaL Dogs an* never allowed
to come nix in theae islands, where most
of the seals are caught, for they disturb
and frighten them by barking. For
four or five mouths in the year, Alaska
ia endurable ; but it is the dreariest of
all places in winter. Ouce in two years
the bishop comes to the islands to
marrv all those who have a dewin* to try
wedded life. They must take tlicir
chance then, or wait for another two
vears to pass. Thns, with timid swains
it is often " now or never."
Karljr Kgjptiari IMtie*.
A late traveler on the Nile thus not<s
some of the gods <>f Egyptian mythol
ogy:
The confusion iml need in one's lirain
by the number of Egyptian deities; their
different attributes and even individuali
ties being constantly merged into each
other; ami the fact that several different
triads of gods were worshipixxl in dif
ferent localities; all this makes the study
of Egyptian theology a most confusing
and disheartening task to the amateur.
At Thebes the triads of gods represented
by Amnion Ha (the sum, Maut (or the
mother), and Kohns (the son), were
worshipped. " Ammon is father to
himself. He is the generating spirit
from the very commencement—the two
fold l>eiug at once father and mother,and
existing to all eternity." Then agnin,
in regard to the triad more; universally
worsiiipped in Egypt in those days—
Osiris, THIS, his consort, ami Horus,
their son. Osiris was tin' great creative
spirit of Goodness and Truth and Light;
the eternal antagonist of Evil and Dark
ness and Falsehood. He is overcome
and put to death bjhis brother Typhon,
the genius of Evil. He rises again and
becomes the Judge of the Dead ever the
forty-two homes or provinces of Egypt.
Here again one cannot fail to trace some
dim foreshadowing of our own faith in
one perfect Essence of Truth ami Light
and Jleueficenoe, who should die through
the temporary victory of evil, tint rise
again in glory to la* our Judge. 0.-iris
in his character of judge is always de
picted with a crook and a flageolum; the
crook to draw to himself those who were
to he rewarded, the flageolum to chas
tize the unworthy.
Hairil reusing in Japan.
A traveler writes : Among the many
point* of difference which separate the
Chinese aul Japanese, one of the moat
striking is that the former) alone, I
believe, among Asiatic races), make use
of chairs, which are conspicuous articles
of furniture in every Chinese hotiae,
but were unknown in Japan until
within the laat few ye*in. However far
a Chinaman may go in modifying hia
habit* conformably with foreign fnsh
ion, he always cling* to hia pigtail,
and except among prisoners I have
never seen a Chinar in of anv cla**
minna that ornamenti. appendage. A
Japanese, on the other hand, indicates
his political proelivitit < by the mode in
which he wears his 1 air, and may be
recognized as an imperialist, a feudalist,
or a radical, by bis top-knot, hi*
shaven temples, or his close-cropped
head. The orthodox Samurai fashion
is still in high favor, with the front part
of the head shaved, a small short cue
worn as a sort of crest, and al! trace* of
a beard carefully removed. A native
gentleman, who bad adopted the coiffure
of young Japan, assured me that the
growth of his mustache, small as it was,
had greatly increased his traveling ex

tongue* are anything but idle; for to
these isolated villager*, in whose eyes a
journey to Moscow or Sarahf! is like a
Polar voynge or an African expedition,
the arrival of a traveled visitor is u>
small treat ; aud tbev ut once over
whelmed me with qnewtions.
"And you have really been to Jeru
salem, father ? It must have Ihs-u a
tremendous long journey for you !"
"Not so, brother; it's only twelve
davs from here."
Visible sensation among mv audience.
" Twelve days !" echoes a brawny fel
low opposite me, iu a tone of un
l>Hindtxl Hiuaxcmeut. " Why, 1 thought
it was right away at the ends of the
earth, beyond hrice uiue lands" (the
Hussion phrase for extercme diatanos).
"No, not quite ao far us that. You
ride to JulT.i, and go by steanu-r to Con
stantinople, uuil then across the ftliaok
Sea to Odessa; aud from there, if you
like, you cau go rottud the Crimea, as
I've leen doing."
"And did you see the place where
Pavel Petr iviteh lost his arm?" asks
my vis-a-ru eagerly, glancing at a one
armed old tuou in the corner, whose ki n
bright eye almost contradict* the testi
mony of his snow-white beard and hair,
against which his scarred, swarthy (see
looks doubly grim.
" Were you in that business then,
brother?" ask 1, tnrnii to the vet
eran.
"Yes, father, 1 war down there in
'54; and it was one of y>ur cmntrrmen
who did this job for me " (tapping hi
emptv sleeve). " But what then ? who*
men fight, they've got to fight, of course,
and I don't boAr him any grudge.
We're all brothers again now. thank
God; and after all, if it was an English
man that made the wound, it was an
Englishman who tied it tip for me; aye,
and tore np his own shirt to do it!"
'•Aye, aye,"chimes in another; " he
that rememliera by-gonew, let.him have
his eye prft out" (a native proverb).
" itnt tell me father," resumes my
opposite neighbor, "are the countries
of the B<>nth really a beantifnl as peo
ple make them ont ?"
"You may say that Stepan Yakovitch "
(Stephen, son of Jantes). "In some of
the countries where I've been I saw trees
growing, one leaf of which would roof
this hnt of yours!"
" Tliink of that, now 1"
" And grapes growing by the way
side, just as tchrmteki (blnoberrit *) do
here."
"See there, brothers; what things
there are in this world, to tie sure?"
" And no winthr all the year round."
This unlucky announcement destroys
at once the effect of all that lias preceded
it. A sudden chill falls upon my hear
ers, who exchange looks of silent horror.
" No winter I" exclaims the soldier at
length, "Well, that is Heaven's judgment
on the unbelievers; they don't deserve to
have one!"
"Aoh. Pavel Petrovitehf" whispers
his neighlx>r, "don't yon see that the
Itarin (master) is mnkiug fun of ns ? As
if any one could get on without a
winter!"
A Convict's Romance.
Six years ago John Hogan was found
guilty of a highway robbery in Queens
county, N. Y., and was sentenced to
five years' imprisonment in the State
prison at Sing Sing. After serving two
years and a half, on one stormy night
when the ice on tho Hudson River Was
weak and dangerous, Hogan with two
fellow prisoners escaped from the
guards, crossed the river, and when oue
of his comrades fell exhausted carried
him a long distance in the blinding
snow on his back. The comrade waa re
captured, but Hogan succeeded in
reaching New York, and liegan lite am w
as a laborer. He continued steady ami
industrious, gained good repute for so
briety and integrity, was married and
had just liegnn to harvest the fruits of
his reform when he was recognised by a
mau who, f<>r a few dollars' reward, dis
closed the identity of the ex-convict, and
the other day, after four years of honor
able and manly living, lie was returned
to a felon's cell.

The Telephone in Jiiputi
The telephoue was no sooner brought
under the notice of the Japanese gov
ernment by the agents for Japan of Hell's
telephone, than experiments were at
once ordered by Mr. I to, tho minister of
public works. The first essay was made
along a wire stretched from the office of
the Great Northern Telegraph Company
iu Yokohama to tho telegraph station in
Honeho Dori, and subsequently conver
sation was held between this place and
Tokio along the ordinary line wire. The
experiments having proved to be entire
ly successful, a number of instruments
were purchased ; and the police stations
in the metropolis, the emperor's palace,
and the government departments are,
or will soon be iu telephonic communi
cation with each other. On the public
works department being put Lato con
nection with the palace, the emjieror
and empress were present, and expressed
their surprise ut the result.
A<l vi'ntlire Willi an Oraug-Outang.
An orang-outang fully seven feet high
wan discovered by the cotuiuuty of a

hands and tho 1m nigh, it wtta alow and
vacillating; it wa necessary to aoo htm
among tho trail to estimate hia atrongtli
and agility. On bruig dritrou to a ntuall
clump, he gained bv duo apriug a vorv

hranch to anothor with tho awiftnoaa of

obliged to cut down all the tree* brfnm
they could fnroo turn to eoinlmt lua -ne

o\i rpowcroil ly uttml>er*, and nearly in
a dying state, ho seized a spear made "f
supple wool, which would have with
stood the strength of tho atoutost man,
and hroko it like a rew.l. It wus state.l,
1 by tliuao who aidod ui hia death, that
tho human-liko expression of hi*counte
nance, and his pitoous manner of plac
ing lus hands ou his wounds, distressed
their feelings ao as to almost make them
question the liutiiro of the uct they were
committing. He waa aeven feel high,
with a broad, expanded chest and nar
row waist. His ohm waa fringed with
a Is-ard that curled ou each aide, and
furmtd an ornamental rather than a
frightful appendage to his visage. His
arms wore long, even in proportion to
hia height, but hia legs were much
shorter. Upon the whole, he w* a
wonderful Is-ast to behold, and there
was more aliont him to excite amazement
than fear. Hia liair was smooth and
glossy, and his whole appearance show*
ad him to be in the full vigor of youth
and strength."
A Dwarf with a Huge Head.
The name of the dwarf is Levi Kurd
sail Hopkins. His father is with him
and attends to the taking in of the quar
ters of thoee who conic to ace liis sou
The Isiv lies upon a short bed, in a room
otherwise vacant. He is indeed a mon
strosity. Probably no person with so
large a head has ever lived to attain this
|crHou'a age, the size being thirty-three
inches—nearly a yard. His body is verv
small, and seems to liave entirely shrunk
away. He has but one limb that he usee,
and that is the left arm. The others lie
as lifeless as so many sticks. They are
insensible to pain of an v kind, and never
suffer from cold or heat. The develop
ment of the head seems to lie entirely 111
tho upper region, which gives it the
appearance of a pear. The chin and
cheeks are almut the average size, as are
also the eyes, oars and noae. The "swell
ing" begins ju-t alsive these organs, and
extend* gradually to the top of his head,
which is well nigh Hut. The skin seems
to have been drawn up by the act ion,
and hence has kept the eye* in quite a
peculiar shape, lie *e straight when
he, lyttig in lied, looks at those stand
ing at the head of it.
" You say lie its twemy-thrive yi am

"No, but it noon begun to grow, and

fifteen month a of age. While it *i

" What are hi* habita? '
" Tliey are very few and ex.-eeilingly

Testerdny morning, after a month's

They finally got to bi'ing off the same

passengers smiled and some wi;ed avvny

A corri-stvoutlerit. wnting from Han
Auticto, Tt xus, dt-soribes a recent samge
fight la-taw r " Uhl iigw," sit unusual
ly str tig anl MiVsga bull, an J two lion*
as follows ;
Shortly aft< r three p. M. about 2,000
people hud assembled tr th* grand

The *' *)>rttug " fraternity w-r freely
offering to taka veuturaa on the result
at three sndevwt tire U> one on the bull,
n!: i foil , i but few takers. The bull
liavi: i b.w n lassoes) in an adjoining
tichl, WHS brought with great difficulty
I to the ground and forced into the cage,
i The hou, quietly eating a piece of raw
l>ef, wua separated front "Old Tigc "
i by a canvas ctirhuu at retched acroaa the
cage. As aouu as the ropca were taken
frotn the bull'a horns this canvas parti
tion W* drawn aside. The attack WHS
at one begun bv "Ttge," who ruahed
wildly njKn the lion and tossed him ten
fe-t into the air. The monarch of the
forest fell heavily to the ground, but
iiiiinediktely sprung up and made a fear
ful spring at the bull. The Texan re
ceive*! him on his horns and again gored
him in the side and threw htm savagelv
against the iron bars, bleeding and bad
ly braised, and then virtually put an end
to the combat, for the ferocious " Old
George" had the lighter effectually
knocked out of him, and refused to cxime
to time, although he was repeateiDy
challenged by the Texan. Ohaer after
cheer arose from the excited crowd in
the great ampitheater, every cue of
whom had mounted the seat* when the
bull proved himself the victor.
The canvas was then drawn letween
the combatant*, and the holloas that en
countered this same bull laat week wan
turned in with her mate. The curtain
was again iirwwu aside, and the pair were
turned against the bull. "Old Tig©"
looked for a moment at his old antag
onist, and then rushed Haragely upon
her, tossing her into the air and break
ing two of her rit*. He then turned
tit>ou "Old < Jeorge, the Man-eater," and
gave him mother toss into the air, badly
goring bun. The lions then cr uuhej
in a c-irnnr of the '"age, completely
coweil, and "Old Tige " deliberate] V
approached and smelled them, bnt did
n>t r-ncw the attack. He stood pawing
the dirt in token of liia victory.
This bull is terribly savage and dan
gerous. He is ten year* old, and has
killed five other Imlia in single but ex
tremely fierce combat* Ho is of mixed
Texas'and buffalo in -*l, and is larger
tlian the average Texas bnlL When he
was being brought into the fighting pen
to-day he rushtM u; uu a crow.i sad Oauly

eye, and this la-t wu> much ugxiusl
turn in tuc light. The bull, before en
tenng ou tin* * mbat, wu* upon three

A Narrow Escape from Wolves
About lon o'clock on last Satnrday
night as Mr. Minor, of the town of
Langnla, Benton County. was driving
from his own'honse to Mr. Morrill's,
having with him his wife ami three chil
dren, and when near the Joeelvn school
honse, he, was attacked by five largo
timber wolves. The fierce beasts sprang
at hi" horses, and when Mr. Miner
struck at the nearest ono with hia whip,
it made a leap to get at him. bnt. sfrnck
against the wagon bo*. At this moment
Mr. M.'s dog bravely attacked tbis wolf,
and was at once set noon by the whole
pack ami killed and almost entirely de
vonred. This gave Mr. Miner an op
portunity to whip up hia horaea and
make off. which he did at a full gallop,
calling out loudly for help. Hia cries
attraided the attention of Mr. Jooelyn
and family, who came to the rescue and
the wolves were driven off. But for the
fortunate interference of the dog, the
result might have beeu mneh more seri- 1
ana. An attack of this kind bv wolves j
is almost without precedent in this part
of the Btate, and it must, be that the
animals were driven to it by ravenous j
hunger.— iSU Cloud (Aftan. 1 Journal. '
