Matter and Force.
There is no such thing as a loss of
matter or force. The so called “con
servation” of matter and its forces
was demonstrated years ago by Joule
| and other sceniists, When, for In
stance, a thing “burns up,” as we say
the substances that give out the light
and heat are changed, not destroyed
The wood or whatever the substance
happens te be becomes ashes and gas,
and if we could gather up all the prod
ucts of the burping we should find
that they had pot lest a particle.of
“thelr weight and that the form of then
onlg was changed. The eternity of
matter was a teaching of the old Greek
philosophers, or of some of them at
least, and the modern teaching of the
conservation or Indestructibility of the
stuff of the universe would seem to
corroborate the ancient ldeg.—New
York American,
A Trail of Twisted Trees.
All manner of devices have been em-
ployed to mark a Une of march, but it
is thought that the most curious
method of “blasing the tral” is that
still to be seen in Africa. In the
year 1880, after a flerce battle with
the Abyssinians, the dervishes pur
gued their foes as far as the lake dis

tional Ceographic Magazine,
“Cactuses of many kinds abound,
varying from giants standing with
massive fluted trunks fifty to sixty
feet tall to little struggling stemmed
species too wenk to hold themselves
upright. The fruit of many of these
cactuses is edible and much sought for
by birds and mammals, They were
once one of the main crops of the In-
dians who lived in this arid region.
The cactus forests often forma thorny
jungles through which it is impossible
to pass,
“After months among these thorny
plants we supposed we had seen them

forms. One morning, bywever, while
