NOW York, who published his travels in
1877. In a high degree lie unitedthe Beim -

which made him especially fit for dealing
with this subject WAS his straightforward
Gennen honesty. He tells the aimplo

Ito physical origin and characteristics aro
concerned, and leaves his renders to draw
the natural inference as to its relations to
the myth. With the fate of Dr. Robertson
Smith in Scotland and Dr. Woodrow in

telling—Dr. &hair deserves honor for tell-
ing as much as he *lees. Similar in effect,
and oven mare bold in statement, were the
" Travels " of the Rev. Henry Osborne,
published in 1878.
Then came oue, little by little, the truth
regarding the Dead Sea myths, and especially
the salt pillar at LTscluni ; but the final truth
remained to be told, and now ono of
the purest men and truest divines
of this century told it. Arthur Stan-
ley, Dean of Westminster, visiting the coun-

the physical features of the DeadSea, and its
shores suggested the myths and legends, and
he sums up the whole as follows "A great
mass of legends and exaggeration,partly the
result of the old. belief that the cities were
buried under the Dead Sea has been gradu-
ally removed in recent years."

An exhibition of toys is about to be opened

The Almanach de Gotha is over a century
and a quarter old. When it was first issued,
among its collection of sovereignties written
up, there were only three republics, Switzer-

day, out of its total of fifty-eight States
mentioned, twenty-six are republics.
French soeiety women have invented, to

Brigands and Turkish troops came to-

Thirty-seven French soldiers under com-

Emperor William II. sent to be placed on
the grave of his grandfather, on the recent
anniversary of the latter's death, awreath of

the grave was covered with violets, which
had come, sgrne of them, from distant parts

It is rumored in high quarters at St.
Petersburg that great changes are about to
i
take place n the administration of the im-
perial court, as the expenses during recent
years have been much too large, despite
efforts to economize. The reserve capital
of this department, which in 1881 was

Emperor William still retains the French

Dr. Peters' Fate.
In it letter from Endo Pasha, which has
reached Berrlin, he says he has met an Arab
who declares that Dr. Peters, the leader of
the German relief expedition,was murdered,
and be saw hisbody. This is the last of a long
series of rumors, but there is really not a
particle of authentic evidence as yet that
Peters has been killed.
The facts about his expedition, briefly
stated, are that he started on July 26 last
with twenty-five Somali soldiers and 107
porters to ascend the Tana River on his way
from the Indian Ocean to Albert Nyanza.
All went *ell as far as Masa, about 150 miles
up the crooked stream. In the next thirty-
two miles to Oda Borunieva the expedition
nearly came.to grief, Peters having failed to
provide himself with food before entering a
famine -stricken district. Hewes well treated
at this place, but hada fight withGallana-
tives over some of their slaves whom he had
hired as porters. The last letter from him
was dated at this place, nearly. 200 miles up
the river, on Oct. 8,and he was about topursue
his journey. Five weeks later Capt. Rust
was within a few miles of Oda Boruruwa„
and heard no reports of 'disaster to the Peters
party, though rumors inplenty were Current
on the coast about this time. His friends
have no reason as yet to abandon hope that
he is all right.

Some interesting laboratory experiments
have been made on the effect of spraying a ,
considerable part of the body surface of
animals with cold water. So successful
were these that the spray has now been ap-
plied for the purpose of reducing febrile
temperature in hutnanbeings. In the case
of a man suffering from phthisis, whose tem-
perature was high, it was found that by
spraying about a pint of water at between
60 0 and 70 0 Fahrenheit, over his body, the
temperature fell to normal, and continued
so for several hours. A similar method was
satisfactorily adopted in the case of it girl
with diphtheria,. In the , healthy human
subject this spray lowered the temperature ;
