Then the farmer went In search of the mutineer and, finding him, aiild In a tone of deepest disgust: "You may do w but you like wltb these tickets.

Thunderstorms never occur In the arctic regions, and even the north of Scotland very seldom suffers from such n visitation. The nearer you get to the equator the more freipient and severe are the eleetrle manifestations. In parts of Central Africa the average of thiiiidctojH days rises to the aston ishing total of 250 per annum. Yet there are curious exceptions. In Java niul Sumatra, both intensely hot climates, there are but ninety-two storms yearly, and In Borneo only fifty. Tbo Gold coast of Africa has only sixty a year, which Is less than occur In Florida, though the latter country Is outside the tropics. In ,1a ma lea there Is a thunderstorm every day during the rainy season, which lasts for Ave months. These storms almost always occur between midday und II In the afternoon. Perhaps the most nsicvishlng fact with regard to thunderstorms Is thai the Island of Mauritius, which Is only Kit) miles east of Madagascar, has, on an average, only one thunderstorm In eighty years. Yel In Madagascar the lightning Is more destructive than nny where else In the world, the annual death roll being over ;S00. Pearson's Weekly. Costly Prfvacy.

Atlantic. THE EARTH'S CHANGES. What the Fossil Remains of Planta and Animals Tell Us. There was a time when even the polar regions bloomed with many of the splendid and varied forms of life that now adorn the tropics. The fossil remains of these ancient forms preserved In the bosom of the rocks carry us back perhaps millions of .veal's In the earth's history and show clearly what wonderful revolu tions tlie surface of the globe has un dergone since the first plants and the first animals appeared upon it Who would think of meeting a rhi noceros nowadays on the prairies of northwestern Canada unless perhaps a traveling menugerle should pass that way? Yet at one time, as discoveries of recent years prove, a creature close ly resembling the rhinoceros of India mid Africa dwelt In that now compar atively cold, snowy and barren region. Remains of these extinct ancestors of nu animal that In our day thrives only In the tangled tropical forests and under the hot equatorial sun have been found burled In the Canadian rocks, where now the cold blasts of winter blow over treeless plains and sweep the flanks of li e Incrusted mountains. Thp rhinoceros of that remote age was no less formidable a beast tlnyi Its descendants, for the skull of one of tlie skeletons discovered Is three feet long, while some of Its teeth are four Inches across. The fossil remains of ninny other forms of animals have been found In the same region wlthiu recent years. Harper's Weekly. Charms of Labrador.
