deserted- It lies in a rocky gorge, on
a narrow valley.
The mountains
around are crowded by forts and Cus
ties as dizzy and picturesque as any
on the Rhine. Lofty walls climb the
spurs of the mountains and tho old
castle sits superbly on the crest of a
high hill overlooking a beautiful little
l 'ke of clear water, on the shores of
which were several crocodiles bask
ing in the hot sun. Our road lay
through a wilderness of kiosk memor
ials of the past dead. Little domes
supported by the most delicate pillars
and prettily carved. Then we came
to a lake of perhaps five hundred
acres, in the center of which is a large
and fine old palace, its lower arches
now in the water aad its I »Iconics and
domes refleeted in tho placid sheet.
This water is dark and unhealthy, cov
ered with all sorts of wild fowl and
filled with crocodiles. We counted
twenty odd of them. Beyond this we
readied the foot of the gorge leading
to the old city.
Here we found one of the Rajah’s
huge elephants, of which he has
eighty, which was to carry us over the
steep’ pass. His face was painted in
Oriental characters. We made our
obeisance. He soon came down on his
haunches, shot his legs straight out
behind, and on a short step-ladder we
mounted the mass of meat Then,
with a motion which made Johnny
think ftelingly of the swell of the Pa
cific, our mastodon trudged slowly up.
When ho reached a particularly steep
place he groaned and grunted and
finally gave a whistle, which told me
that lie thought a Chicago two hun
dred-and-odd-pounder was more than
the law allowed. Along our up-hill
road gray monkeys, with black faces
and long tails, ran about the trees.
Some of them with their old-folk faces
made me feel liko saying: “Be good-
natured, old fellow; 1 confess to our
kinship.” After passing the little
lake J before mentioned we were car
ried up a very steep road into the
court of the old palace, which is oo-

THE WONDERFUL MAXIM GUN—AN
INTERESTING MAMMAL.
Professor Mayer Illustrates in a Pleasing
Manner With an Arrangement of
Floating Magnetic Needles the Mutual
Repulsion of Similar Bodies.
Professor A. M. Mayer lias devised an ar
rangement of floating magnetic needles which
iwaulifuily demonstrates the mutual repul-
sian of similarly magnetized Ixxlies A num
ber of strongly magnetized carpet needles are
in-ertetl in small corks, as shown in the pros
pective view of the picture here reproduced.

An
AnMPMthctic Bullet.
An anaesthetic bullet lias been invented by
a German chemist which, it is claimed, will,
if brought into general use. greatly diminish
the horrors of war. The bullet is of a brittle
sulmtanee, breaking directly when it cotnes in
contact with tbe object ft which it is aimed.
It contains a ¡»owerful snmsthetic, producing
instantaneously complete insensibility, last
ing for twelve hours, which, except that th*
action of the heart continues, is not to lie dis
tinguished from death. A laittle field where
these bullets are used will in a short time b*
apfian ally covered with dead bodies, but in
reality merely with the prostrate forms of
soldiers re« I need for the time being to a stat*
of unconsciousness. While in this condition
they may, the German chemist points out, b*
packed in ambulance wagons and carried otf
as prisoners.
The Maxim Gun.
The new and really wonderful weapon
christened Maxim gun weighs over sixty-flv*
pounds, is mounted on a light tripod, which
can be lowers I, raisod, moved literally with
one hand as easily as a garden hose, aud
which pours out automatically 600 shots a
minute. There ia no crank to turn; there is
no labor of feeding. One man simply set*
the bullets going, and then directs it at will;
akinga whole regiment front if he likes, or
keeping the fire within a range of five feet or
five inches. The basis of it all is the utiliza
tion of tbe recoil force to fire the next shot.
Longest Tunnel in the World.
It I m claimed that the longest completed
tunnel in the world is at Rrhenmitz in Hun
gary. It is 10.27 miles in length, with a crow
section of 9 feet 10 inches by 5 feet 3 inchoa
and is used for drainage purposes. The new
Croton uquedu t tunnel now in course of ex
cavation near this city will be much the long
est tunnel in the world. When completed it
will l>e nearly JM) miles long, with a section
much larger than that of the Schenmitx tun
nel, being alsmt 1H f»et in diameter. Twenty-
two miles have already been excavated.
A Remarkable Maiutnul.
The a<‘«'<>nq»anying cut repivsents tbe top
of the skull of the remarkable mamma), Trity-

Henry F. Osliorn,
of Princeton, in
Me!f‘nce. It is re

genus living much
larger than any
other h i t h e r t o

Mesozoic (>ei iod. In

which has exactly th« same position and rela

From the large size of the parietal foramen in
Tritylodon, which greatly exceeds that of any
of the recent lixards in actual diameter, and
com|Miivs with that of the labyrinthodonta
and saurian*. Profewior Osliorii infers that the
primitive mammalia, of this family at least,
had a pineal eve of some functional size and
value. The facts here recorded are consid-
ere»l of remarkable interest to scientists, add
ing, as they <lo, to the rapidly accumulating

Disappearance nf an Island.
According to the official newspaper of tb*
Forve islands, the ro-k island of Munken,
south of H iihi I io , has sunk out of sight. In a
word, one of the most striking object* in th*
Fnrve group, which has been »ailed post and
admired by thousands of people and played
an inqiortant part in geographical literature,
has disappeared. It once stood seventy feet
aliove the level of tbe sea, but the rock
gradually crumbled away so that th* tid*
washed over its surface. The shallow water*
around the island formed dangerous curr*nta>
with eddies, or maelstroms, .which were much

A house constructed entirely nf materials
manufactured of straw is one of the promised
novelties to he exhibited at the forthcoming
American exhibition in Iymdon. Haul house,
which, according to Iron, is being ma<le in
Pennsylvania, is to represent an American
villa two and a half stories high, and cover
ing a space of forty-two feet by fifty feet.
