In the town is a bazaar, in i which on iSuudn. we suu a most inter-j ostium ma -i of o.itOO or (1,000 people from IS'epaul, Sikkim. lihootan, Thiliet and J Darjeeling proper. It, was one of tho ; regular set of fairs for trading, and was , food for sevend days' study. Unfortu- j iiately, however, we saw it only on itJ ' last d.'iy, but also its lxst. Tnido was j going on in sheep, goats and ponies from ' lihontan and a few from Thibet. People, I were there from Sikkim with maize, ! leas, oranges and grain; people from Ne paid with knives and produeo of several sorts j The Blocks were small, frequently only so much us the dealer had broinrht on 3V.

Here was a woman who had traveled for two or three days with two bushels of oranges hanging rom her fo -ehead. She had climbed a pass 8,000 feet high and slept in the cold open air on the bare ground. She was liappy when she sold her stock out at retail and received three rupees, or $1,05. There was a man who had journeyed in the same way from just, under Mount, Everest, a live or six days' journey. His fltock was four Roman nosed hheep and it half dozen Nepaulese knives. The sheep, which had lieen the pack horses for his knives and provender, are worth three Tit pes eneh and tl knives one, Tho dealers were gem rally Hijuattcd on the ground, wiih their little stores in baskets or on mats before them. Their worldly wealth was small, but yet they had a contented look. Jt made me, on arrival, almost blush to jHTniit a good looking, soft eyed girl to take my t-achcls from the station to (ho hotel. One of these makes my arm acho to carry it 100 or so yards, yet this little girl swung two from her forehead, cliniU'd i.'iiiibly the high hill to tho hotel, few hundred yards oir, and was per fectly satioiied when I gave her two an nas or less than live cents. There aro many line rides in tho neighborhood of Darjeelin one through a dense forest on a steep mountain side gave us a lino insight into the giowlhof these latitudes So close and tlenseare they the sun never Mnftnitis t tlu- Kroiiiiil. nml Unit tihtick of w(xxl never dries. The rainfall there is about ViTi inches a year; tlie soil is as jicli as loam can be made, and tho forest -vegetation is astonishing. I regret that I have not I hue to descrilic it to vou. We, however, had eonio to see mighty biiow elad mountains, not to revel in ! vegetation nor to delight in forest clothed valleys aud vine covered slopes. Vo reached Darjeelmg exactly twenty four hours after leavin -; Calcutta. Tho gray and gre. u nioun:. ins around were visible, but thick el i !s shrouded the enow vim I frozen hei, , as. Our landlord (said it was rabidly turning colder, and the morrow would U bright. Wo went to bed to hope a"d dream. I was awakened just liefuiv ti by tho mournful howling and tpieer i: tttering barkingsof jackals close to my window, It seemed to mo there was a pack, but I have an indistinct recollection that where two or three of these brutes are gathered to gether much nnie is there with them. 1 went to the from of lliu house, and lie fore me rose the viceroy of mountains mighty Kuiiehinjinga. His glaeiered jieak caught the pale niys of the declin ing morn aud sent them back as if from u rugged mass of cold, burnished silver Grand ami gloomy, he pierced tho bky, n tseeptered monarch. To his right and to his left stood hit royal aids, each succeed ing one a little lower than the last. Tor half a hundred miles thebo royal attend ants st. xii 1 in grand array, each a king nnd crowned in silvered diadems. 1 could scarcely tear myself away, but locking to the north 1 saw a clear bky over the lofty foot lulls', and had reason to think the monarch of all was un clouded.

In tho Canary Islands attention Is beiiitr called to the fact that tho peal; of TeneriH'e at dawn, casts upon the ocean it shadow that at (list appears to be Hat upon tho surface, but that grud- mill v seems to rise up until it is per v' I poiulicular. antl stands apparently a reproduction in black of the real moun tain which beside it is white and glow ing in the sunlight. The scientific ex planation of the phenomenon is that tho shadow at first is really lint upon tho water, but that, as tho neat of tho rising sun causes a vapor to rise from tho ocean, the shadow gradually be comes east against the bank of fog in Rte.nl of upon tho water, and really is t straight up in the air. Montreal Star. , Why I linnilor Sours ,1111k. You have often asked or been asked : "Why does thunder sour sweet milk?" Milk is peculiar, inasmuch as it is very sensitive to atmospheric changes.

Lightning is tho diseluiige whieli conies of electri cal inequalities, producing chemical changes in the air.
