CAPE FRIO AND ITS LIGHT HOUSE. A few hours out from the “‘River of January,” when the colossal peaks of Tijuca and the Serra dos Orgoas, which we have learned to love like human friends, have grown dim and dimmer and finally vanish from view, we find ourselves abreast of Cape Frio of school geography fame, which in those days we were erroneously taught to pronounoe Fry-oh. The huge massof granite towering perpendicularly out of the water marks the spot where the coast line forms a right angle by turning abruptly to the north. A much- needed light house stands at its foot and the cause of its building lies rotting just below—the remains of the English frigate Thetis, You re- member how the homeward-bound vessel, ran- ning at ten knots an hour, was dashed against this bulwark in the darkness of night and re- duced to kindling wood in an instant, and how most of the officers and crew managed to save themselves by crawhng up the mighty preci- pice out of reach of the dashing spray and changing to projections of rock till rescued two days later by a pawing ship. Not far above this point the broad Rio ba rushes to the sea, and oar ship turns into it, having business to transact at San Salvador, a flourishing village on it leftbank twenty miles above. | The sur- rounding region, known as the Campos Govatakazes (plains of the Goyatakaz Indians), ia extrenuly fertile and produces the best sugar made in brazil. We had only an hour ashore, but tht is enough to view the little city, with tte well-paved strevts and comfortable casas shaded oy mango trees. Though the world knows comparatively nothing of San Salvador, it appears to be a much more progressive place than Santos and its commerce quite as ex- tensive—in sugar, ram and rice instead of ‘THE ESPIRITO SANTO PROVINCE.

The ancient capital was christened San Salvador, but took its present name from the magnificent ahect of water in front of it, which Americus Vespucius discovered in 1508 and plonaly called Bahis de rodos os Santos, “Bay of Saints.” similar to that of Blo in shape and size, and Mes north and south, thirty-seven miles fong, twenty-seven miles wide and with an average depth of forty fathoms. But, unlike Rio bay, with its exceedingly narrow entrance, this has two openings toward the south, one of them ten miles wide. And this is not environed bys wall of crazy peaks leaning in all directions “‘out cee is no land in sight rising higher than 500 feet. The bay bas also given {ts name to the province, which is one of the most important in Brazil, with an area of 200,000 square miles, including many towns, ¥ and rich plantations. Babia oranges are the best raised in South America, and its tobacco is good enough to be made into cigars and sold in the United States and in Europe as genuine “Havanas;” it also produces enormous juantities of sugar, cotton and rice. Some of the most famous diamond mines in the world are found in Bahia province—and part of our practicable. | > business here is to visit them, if GUARDED BY MANY FoRTS.

While waiting the coming of the health and custom officials we have time to count the domes and towers and spires and steeples of the sixty-seven churches, which are the favorite boast of its 200,000 inhabitants. We are sur- ised to see that the houses, most of them Sotidly built of stone, are three, four and five stories high, their white, yellow and pale blue walls roofed with red tiles and many of them braced up on the very brink of the precipice by igantic stone buttresses. They green jousies and are broken out all over with tiny conies, like warts. The great yellow trapichos (warehouses) that line the water front have iron Intticed windows, and everybody's roof ‘is shadowed by a towering palm or fig or mango tree. The old town below and the newer town above are connected by several steep, rocky roads, constructed centuries ago at great ex- pense, and also by a brand-new passe! ele- vator.

A knock and Iwas ushered into the saintly Presence, and found before me a well-built negro woman about forty years old. The room contained two trunks and a small table, on which wasa tin basin containing large min- yy that rich fluid which the Potomac supplies and nearly filled with the same opalescent liquid.

These powers came to her when she religion sixteen years ago. She told tne these things if meek and self-deprecatory way, as ithe regarded herself asthe humble mouth- piece of a higher power. GAZING INTO THE BOTTLE. I then asked her if she could tell me anything or if sho had a message for me. She placed one hand in the basin and with a far-away look in her eyes gazed at the bottle as if she were looking through it to some distant point. Oc- casionally she shaded it with her other hand; presently, in a dreamy sort of way and in a low voice, she commenced to speak, | Ocoasionally she mumbled something to herself, and by way of explanation sald: ‘ou know I has to call the people Isees, man and wo-man, and has to speak jus’ what the spirit tells me.

The consequence of this combination, together with the fact that he was not an experienced fiance, made him long ashe accompanied her on her last shop- ping expedition ‘to buy her all sorts of gifts. Gloves and hendkerchiefs he had purchased recklessly and dainty silver stickpins. But his desire to deluge her with tokens of affec- tion was not yet satisfied. In one store sho bade him wait while she went into another de- partment+a mysterious region which she called the linen department—from which he was ex- cluded. He waited patiently for awhile, and then was seized with the brilliant ides that this would bean excellent opportunity to buy her another gift—one entirely of his own choosing. He wandered about looking critically at vari- ous things, and finally he saw something which looked #0 delicately feminine and dainty that he determined to get it. He had not a clear idea of its use, but thought it wasa sort of a eublib- mated work basket, for it was a round, low hamper lined with puffs of rose-colored silk under white tulle and fitted with incompre- hensibla little pads and pockets.

EXAMINATION OF NERVE TISSUE. “When examined under the microscope the tissue of which our entire nervous system is composed can be readily separated into two elements: the vesicular and the fibrous; the former is gray in color, granular in its texture, and is largely supplied’ with blood, this is our brain matter; the latter is usually white in color (though in some parts of our bodies it is gray), ‘and is composed of tubular fibers, and it vascular than the brain substance; our brain is the originating seat of the force which we mani- fest in all our nervous actions, while the latter or the fibers are simply the propagators of those impressions or wills of the former. The union of these two kinds of matter constitute a nerv- ous center, and the threads of fibrous matter which pass to or from it are called nerves. The smaller nervous centers are termed ganglia, and the larger ones are the brain and the spinal “These nerve tubes or fibres which run all through our bodies are soft, fine cylindrical aments within a tube of soft.semi-fuid, whit pulpy substance, « structureless sheath; nerve fibres are examined under « powertal ie E ae ' i clear, as @ rule, and t, with simple dark contoum. By the use of transmitted and reflected anat- omists agree in sist of three entirely distinct component struc- tures, viz: of a delicate coat and a viscid fluid, in the center of which isa soft but elastic nerve. There is a great deal more that I might add in this respect, but it is purely technical and the arrangement of our nerves aa they branch out from our brains and spinal cords is diversified in a countless manner. “We have in our scientific circles quite a number of men who insist that life is nothing more than pure chemical and phyrical ac that ft is simply matter in motion; and men have subjected the nerve substance searching chemical analysis, but they have been obliged to admit that our of composition of nervous matter throws remarkable functions of that chemical no light upon the system.
