Ths activity of the French In thn
Sahara Is the marvel of recent cv

thirds of the great waste, ami the
present prospects are that they will
seek cat and map every sand dune,
well aid grazing area throughout
their domain within the nezt two or
three years. The latest flying trip
has been made by ('apt. Five Satnte
Marie, who has traveled west and east
through the heart of the desert, his
outgoing and return routes being
from 5fl to 100 miles apart and near
ly every mile of the way leading
through regions never seen before
by an explorer excepting where he
crossed the uurth and south tracks
of other travelers. He ascertained
the lay of the land throughout this
long unknown tract and discovered
a number of excellent wells that are
lielleved to have been the source of
water simply for the nomad robber

as they were being plundered, from
what myslerlous source those fellows
managed to replenish their water
bags The French have practically
put an end to bandltlsm In the Sahara
and one of their most effective ex
pedlents is to guard the wells against
all those whose business on the road
is not manifestly legitimate. If the
development of the Amazon basin

was Introduced In England In 1874
when the Philadelphia Athletics and
the liostons made u tour uf the coun

played on the historic Kensington
oval, with the present king In at
tendance. linffalo Bill's cowboys
played several games in England
afterwards. Later the National Base
bull association was formed and also
Ihe Incorporated loindon Baseball
association. During the nineties, live
clubs were playing regularly In and
about London. A few weeks ago a
match game was played in London,
In which all the players were English
except tho catchers. The American
hoys who are In England with Rhode.,
scholarships are doing much to de
velop the game there. As yet the Eng
lishmcn do not seem able to masler
the art of the catcher. Neither do
they understand the slang of the
game, which adds go much to its cn
Joyment. The spectators also miss
many of the line points of the s|>ort.

should be used on surh an Important

It so happened also that I knew
wlrle lead and linseed oil—not ready-

What is said to be the heaviest pas-
senger engine ever built has been de-
livered to the Lake Shore A- Michigan
Southern railroad. It weighs 244.700
pounds, of which 170.000 pounds arc
on the driving wheels. The engine
and tender weigh 403,700 |K>unds and
the capacity for water is 7,800 gal-
lons, while that for coal Is 15 tons.
This iiowerful locomotive was de-
signed as a step In the development
of large passenger locomotives on the
Lake Shore road, which began about
seven years ago. as a result of which
this road has a series of successful
designs.
DECEIVED EVEN FRIEND'S EYE.
Sir Richard Burton Was an Adept In
Disguising Himself.
Sir Richard Rurton was famous for
his effective disguises. Ono evening
soon after his return from his famous
Journey to Mecca a party of officers.
Including u friend of Burton's naiqpd
Hawkins, were lounging outside Shep-
herd's hotel at Cairo. As they sat
talking and smoking there passed re-
peatedly in front of thenj an Arab
in his loose, flowing robes, with head
proudly erect and the iieculiar swing-
ing stride of those sons of the des-
ert. As ho strode backward and for-
ward he drew nearer and nearer to
the little knot of officers, till at last,
as he swept by. the flying folds of his
F-rnoose brushed against one of the
omcors. "D-n that fellow's Impu-
dence'” said the officer "If lie does
that acain I'll kick him" To his
surprise the dignified Arab suddenly
halted, wheeled round and exclaimed:
“Well, Hawkins, that's a fine way to
welcome a fellow after two years'
absence." “It's Ruffian Dick!” cried
t (*s astonished officer.
Ways of War Were a New Thing to
Hi* Understanding.
At the Army and Navy club In
Washington a number of veteran olfi
cers were telling stories, when Gen.
Chaffee told this anecdote of Gen.
Carr, who died In New York some
year* ago:
It a] pears that Gen. Catr, at the
outbreak of the civil war. had lef.j
Troy to take command of a regiment.
Tho engagement in which, as colonel,
he first figured was at Rig liethel. Ills
regiment had been halted for rest
und refreshment tn a pleasant p!aco
anil had not yet experienced the ex
citomcnt of u skirmish. It happened
however, that confederates were in
ambush In the Immediate neighbor-
hood and from a safe hiding pipe©
they opened Are on the northerners.
Carr, so the story runs, instantly put
spurs to his horse and dashed up («
a group of officers. Excitement and
bewilderment were apparent upon his
young face as he approached tho
party.
"They are firing upon my reel
ment!" he shouted. "My God! Now
what is to be done?”—Harper's-
Weekly.
GOOD NIGHT’S SLEEP.
No Medicine so Beneficial to Brairv
and Nerves.
Lying awake nights makes It hard
to keep awake and do things In day
time. To take “tonics and stimo
lants” under such circumstances Is
like setting the house on Are to se©
if you can put it out.
The right kind of food promotes re-
freshing sleep at night and a wide
awake individual during the day.
A lady changed from her old way of
eating, to Grape-Nuts, and says.
"For cLout three years 1 had been
a great sufferer from Indigestion.
Afler trying several kinds of medi-
cine. the diw'.^r would ask me to drop
off potatoes, then meat, and so on.
but in a few days that eraving, gnaw-
ing feeling would start up. and I
would vomit everything I ate ani
drank.
"When I started on GrapeNuts.
vomiting stopped, and the bloating
feeling which was so distressing dis-
appeared entirely.
“My mother was very much both-
ered with diarrhea before commenc-
ing the Grape-Nuts, because her stom
neh was so weak she eould not digest
her food. Since using Grape-Nuts she
la well, and says she don't think she
could live without it.
"It. Is a groat brain restorer and
nerve builder, for I ran sleep as sound
nnd undisturbed after a supper of
Grape-Nuts as In Hie old days when
I could not realize what they meant
by a "bad stomach." There Is no
medicine so beneficial to nerves and
hrnln as a good night's sleep, snch as
you can enjoy after eating Grape-
Nuts."
