Only Two tn Captivity in Americe and but One tn England. fhere is only one two in America, and on the Continent ef Europe the dearth is as remark- ‘ble. In ‘the wild ‘beast market there 4re none to be had, and collectors ‘are compelled ‘to send agents into the in- terior of South Africa to secure them, ‘The giraffe is fast disappearing-be- fore the encroachments of man, and long before the great central plateau of Africa, which is ‘its ‘habitat, “has been opened up to ‘civilization it will, like the great, auk, have :been com- pletely wiped out. . Formerly. giraffes were. exported trom North Africa by way,of the Red Fea, but since the introduction of tire arms, and their general usé by, the Be- douins and Soudanese in lynting, these timid animals have veen-drivon: far to the south of the Soudan. So the only gateway that is practicable to bring them out-of-Africa now lies through Cape Town, and for the last halt doz en years even that presents almost {n- auperable difficulties on. account of. the eonstant wars between the natives and the Beers and English. : At the beginning of the present cen- tury giraffes ranged as far south as fhe banks of the Orange river, but they are not to-be met now. below the North Kalahari country. There has never been a very large number of giraffos in American collec- tions, though in“1888 one great. show went long. on giraffes. and exhibited a ‘herd of ‘twenty-one. the largest num- Ser probably that bas ever been seen together, since in the wild state they Go, not herd in large-numbers, and are Geyer found in groups of more thap four or five. The giraffe is not a hardy animal in captivity. It does not-thrive on dry food, like most ruminant animals, which do almost as. well.on hay as on rrass, In the wild state the giraffe feeds almost entirely on the leaves end twigs of a apecies of acacia which the Boers call knmeel-doorn, or camel thorn, the giraffe itself being known to them as kamecl, or camel. The food imparts to the fies a pungent aromatic flavor which makes giraffe steaks a delicacy highly esteemed by African hunters. There is no animal which gives its keeper more trouble in a mepageris, not even the treacherous elep! While the giraffe is gentle in disposi. tion, and not given to attack, even in the wild state, it is stupid and obsti- nate, and cannot be taught to mind. full-grown one cannot be taken alive. for when defense is no longer gas it will kill itself.

J H The Benaty of the Greeks, y--The beauty of the Greeks has been greatly. praised,"and I was much disap- pointed ac Athehs; but the Greeks of the, Ionian Islands are of a purer race. and one s metimes comes across a very [ boauitut face, “There was a village on the island famed for the beauty of the women. I drove over and saw some very handsome, tall women, with the low, classic brow, and often with blue Seyes. “They wore their hair plaited with riosbons and twined around the head Uke @ coronet. I was amazed to se such luxuriant bair, but was told that it was probably mixed with their moth- ers' and grandmothers’ hair. I think Leighton’s idea that the Greeks we:s | originally fair was correct. for f saw | several fair-haired women.

Micawker's, Retreat to Disappear. from . London's Streete. Few even of the loverg of Charles Dickens. are aware that a portion of the ola, Marshalsea prison. yet stands hidden“away behind Borough High street and St. George’s church, but the remaining wards of . the prison which once was the home of Mr. and Mrs. Micawber when that gentleman’s affairs had arrived at a “crisis,” are about to disappear, says the New York Herald. The new scheme, which has been undertaken for the continuation of Tabard street into High street, past the east end of St. George's church, will wipe jato oblivion all that is left of the old Marshalsea, though the church in which Little Dorrit ‘spent the night when she had been “locked out”: wil! stands as a monument of the great nov- ) elist’s-creations. The gateway of the prison, up to a court, 205 High street, stood until a few years ago, and the new, warehouse entrance—for the ward which was left was so utilized—bears an inscription: “This site was origin- ally the Marshalsea prison, made fam- ows by Charles Dickens in his well- known work, “Little Dorrit.” The windows 6f the prison ward, says the endon Mail, can be seen from the court alluded to, which is the second court on the right hand side of Borough | High street going from St. George’s church toward London bridge.

The ‘festive Parisians aré; it {s stated, .te | tf Portsmouth, England, says Invention. A stege was erected in the harbor within the tide mark; on this an Arm- etrong gun of the 110-pound pattern was mounted. The gun was'then load- ed and carefully aimed uta target— all this, of course, during the time of fow tide. A few hours later, whem the gun and the target were both covered with water to a depth,of six feet, the fun wes. fired by means of electricity. ‘We eaid “aimed at a target,” but the facts are that there were two targets but only one was directed for this spe- eiail experiment, the other being the ‘bull of an old vessel, the Griper, which ‘ay directly behind the target and in renge of the ball The target itself was placed only twenty feet from the muzzle of the gun. It was composed of oak beams and planks and was twenty-one inches thick. In order to make tle’old Griper invulnerable 8 sheet of boiler.plates three inches thick wes riveted to the water-logged hull, in ‘direct range with the course the ball was expected-to take if not “de-.| flected -by the water. On all of these). —the oak target, the boiler plates and the old vessel hull—the effect of the shot from the submerged. gun was really..atartling. The wooden target ‘Was pierced’ through and through, the doiler iron: target was broken into pieces and driven into its “backing.” the ball passing right on through both sides of the vesse], making & hge hole through which the water poured in tor- vents. Taken altogetber the exper | ment was af entire success, demon- strating, as it did, the feasibility. of placing. submerged guns in harbors {x times of war and doing great dam- age to the vessels which an enemy | might dispatch to such points for the purpose of shelling cities.

With an evercrowded population of . 200,000,000 peasants whose annual sup- ply of food depends on a rainfall sub- ject to decided irregularities, it is in- evitable that India should suffer froia frequent and destructive famines. Me- tevrological observations have dis- closed-no rule of periodicity in these failures of rainfall by which seasons of drought can be forecast with cer- tainty. ~ They have, on the other hand, established the fact that the fall is never either deficient or excessive in any single year throughout the whole of India, says a writer in the New York Observer. There is always & re- serve of food supply.in some. part of the area which may be drawn, upon for use in the needy districts. It has been discovered, too, that winters marked by an excessive snowfall in the Him- alayas are always followed by dimin- ished summer: rainfall, generally ~ in northern India, ‘but sometimes in other Portions of the great peninsula. Apart trom these few facts, gathered within. - / the“last quarter of a century, there is little-data ‘trom which seasons ‘of drought -may be forecast, though it: is known that~a drought, once begun, generally extends over two or more years. -The approach of scarcity ‘can be determined only in the year in which it actually occurs, and by a s7s- tem of observations beginning with the June rainfall and continuing until autumn. Of the extent of the suffer- ing from drought and crop. failure. in the Aslatte’ world Western peoples’ have but a faint conception. “In the | great droughts in northern China in 1877-78 no less than 9,500,000 persons perished; and although duritg the Present century at least no single fam- ine in India has attained that magni- tude, it is estimated that in the score or more disasters which have oc- curred, between 15,000,000 and 20,006,- 000 lives have been lost. That which began in 1875 and culminated in 1877 was the most prolonged and. destruc- tive, resulting in the death of. 5,500,- 000 persons. In 1865-66.a third of flie “ Population of 3,000,000 starved to death in Orissa, and in 1868-70 about 4,500,-" 000 died from want in Rajputanai "The: famine of 1861 in the northwest) prov~ inces was a huge calamity, and: the Berar drouth of 1873-74 was only. pre- Vented fromi becoming so by lavish ex- penditure on. the partof the Indian government, Prior.to. the white con- quest Jamines of. immense dimensions devastated. the peninsula, resulting “oc- casionally. in. an ‘appallifig- decimation: of the feebler classes of tiie populatira..
