Julian Ralph eontributes to the Lon- don Daily Mail some warnings to those who intend to emigrate to ,South, Afriea» He says.; d fear that moat of these men will regret bating ever asked even the barest l;vtag of South Africa. Al- though the most popular sayings about the unattractive region are such as to detr znpigrat_ on, the idea that fortunes are to be made there by men wethout capital remains, firmly root- ed in many minds. Deere the land yields beat it is mainly used for the breeding of sheep, .horses, goats and ostriches, It is only where water is abundant that we see or'ops being ?wised, and they are grown its small plots, for water ;n South .tfrica has been termed "a. curio." To be strictly just, there Is areasanably rich region, in that part of Cape CoI- ony which is called the Hex River eountry Wheat and fruit and the vitae i'lourit in. that section. the paeturatge is good, genuine farming it+ carried on there, and the people are prosperous. But the region offers leo shapes for utlin;grant,s. The land is all taken up and held at a. very high price, and those who own it, especial. ly the dominant lluteh, will not cell. Instead, they want more acre*, even though they cannot till what they have --far the Boer is a land -loving, land proud mortal, wile estimates his social position and his degree of con- tent, by the number of his earea, Nur LIKE MANITOBA. There is good grain-produoing salt in the Eastern part at the Orange River Qalany',, and the ravages of the war may send a few—a very few—of those farms into the market, but the price will be 'beyond the purses oe the average fortune seeker, There is not, and will not be, any of this land to be pieked up on wlbart is galled a settler's claim, that Is, free towho- saever will build on it, and work it. In the Transvaal, likewise, there are good belts and desert belts, and there is pleuty of unworked land, T believe, in the dry and billy upper half of that •country; but the soil which is pro.ua•tive oven in the way of pas- turage is not in the market. Jr any man think to find new gold. or diamond mines, he may as tvo l be told that tbe chances of that are precisely equal to his chance's of having bis disposal, the titre, mon- ey and expert knowledge which the great mining corporations have util- lead in studying the entire country, and in taking liens or paying yearly premiums for the first right to work such soils when they need°<,or desire to do so. MONEY Lai OST'RIOHES. The nearest thing to a gold mine that remains open to new comers in the greater part of those new col- onies is the ostrich ; at least, so 11 was informed by a great many shrewd and successful men who live in Natal, the Orange River Colony, ana the Transvaal. But breeding ostriches re- quires .money --for the land and the buds—to start with. And one must know or learn the methods by which a profit is to be had in that industry. You cannot raise ostriches as you take a snap -shot photograph—by pressing a butt6n, and letting nature do the rest. In the army I found so many young men, especially among the Austral- ians and, fewer, Canadians, who talk- ed of remaining in South Africa, that t made it my business while I was in Cape Town, Kimberley and Bloem- fontein, to ask the leading men for their knowledge and opinions as to the inducements the country offers to immigrants. It may have merely happened so, but I did not meet a man who favoured the coming of a large number of new settlers. All who were of British blood wished for more mea of .their own race there—hi numbers sufficient to out -vote the Dutch, but they could not promise the new -com- ers a living. " It is as true as when Mr. Bryce wrote it, that South Africa is, 'a vast solitude, with a few oases of popula- tion,' and that this 3s due to its scanty means for sustaining life, and its few openings for industry, una;d- ed by capital," — aTO INDIA BY RAIL. 1 • SUA',L1l;TH1I�ti QUL�'H hi,�W TY'IB fXrn ER TIMES • Oa the Farm. •4�vN1 N1i� M_diXIMS Fo11 I1IIi;aICBRS.

AC 4INST CREMATION Novel Argnritent by Prot, (Yeenens Wink- ler, of Saxoay The opponents and advocates of cremation are much inters steel just now in a statement which has been made by a distinguished chemist, to the effect that if cremation should ever become a universal practice the world's supply of coal would speed- ily be exhausted. This cheniist Professor Clemens Winkler, 01 Sax any, and itis statement ie the result oI long study on this subject. The world's population, he says, consists of ribout 1,550,000,0011 persons, and of these about 31, 0 0 _ 0 0 ora die everyar year. Now, if all these 3bodies were to be cremated, the amount of coal which rId Lee used for this purpose would,. and lie rtraintains, be x,4,819,000, or, in ful, round numbers, 15,000,000 tons. r a any years, however, he admits, are en likely to elapse before the entire world of deeides to substitute cremation for lar the prevailing method of burial, ed. therefore, instead of laying stress be what is likely to happen in this far distant time, he drawn attention to certain statist;es wbicb are of more mediate interest. Tbere :are, he says, 400 cities in the world eaeh el which bas a population exceeding 100,000, and the aggregate popula- tion of which le 82,0e0,000. The nuraber of deaths in theme pit- ies amounts annually to 1,640,000, and if all these bodies were to be cremated the amount of coal reweave for this purpose each year would be 785,;00 tons. That such a large quantity of coal should be consumed in this way seems to hint highly undesirable, and THE PLAGUE IN BIBLE TIMES. The diaeovery of the part played by infected rats in the dissemination of the bubonic plague has Ied to a new interpretation of a passage in the first book of Samuel, describing a fa- tal sickness which affected the Philis- tines atter they carried off the He- brew Ark of the Covenant. Mice are mentioned in connection with the epi- demic, and, this fact, together with the description of the effects of the disease, leads Doctors 'Tidawell and' Dick of the Royal Society of New South Wales to the conclusion that the epidemic described in Samuel was an outbreak of the bubonic plague. This carries the history of that dis- ease 800 years further back than it had previously been recorded. NEW EXPLOSIVE. An Italian military officer has pro- duced a new explosive. He makes nae of the explosive properties of water el- ectrically decomposed; .he inaloses this in a box or other steel receptacle her- metically sealed. It explodes with a force more than 50 times greater than gunpowder, and nearly 30 times great- er than dynamite. He is adapting this to rifle cartridges, and the Ital- ian Government is making tests in Turin. It is called Cosmos. A NEW TABLE. A new table, for use by invalids con- fined to bed, is made so that it can be raised or lowered, and can be increas- ed or decreased in diameter, to over- lap the side of the bed. By pressing a knob it can be converted into a read- ing desk, and spring clips are provid- ed for holding the reading matter in position. The mechanism of this table is so easily worked that. an invalid can perform the neoessary operations without assistance. STRENGTH OF EYES. Eyes of . different color vary in strength. Brown and dark -colored eyes are weaker than gray or blue eyes. Light blue:eyes are usually the strongest, and next to these come gray..

Pour this puree into a saucepan, reheat, add more seasoning if necessary, and the beaten: yolk of an egg just before serving, after it has beeen taken from the fire. Serve with small croutons of fried bread. If a larger quantity of soup is required, double this recipe. Asparagus and Scrambled Eggs._ Take six eggs, break into a bowl, beat slightly, and pour into .a pan in which there. is a little milk, just enough to keep the eggs from sticking to the pun. When the eggs'are about half cooked add the tips of a bunch of asparagus w hick has been previously boiled in salted water until. tender. The tips should be cut in small pieces. After adding them to the eggs, stir all together until cooked. Serve on a hot platter, garnish with three cornered toasts.

There is, however, no cause for alarm in, this, fur even were there outbreaks of the disease in all large cities, no one who lives in cleanly sur- roundings and is personally clean ould be in real danger. Plague is e -eminently a filth disease, affert- clliielry* rata and other vermin and e human beings wire. like them, live neisonie holes. It shuns the open sir and sunlight. In the cities of the far East, where t has been raging ae an epidem;:' for many years, scarcely any white per - ons have been attacked, except phy- tans and nurses who are in daily contact with the disease; and even of those, exposed as they' are, compara- tively few have suffered. Aecording to those who have hid most to do with the epidemics in those parts, plague is one of the easiest diseases to enti- re] where it is possible to enforce sanitary rules. Isf,l:ttion of those at- tacked, the destruetion—.by fire, if possible—of everything that has come in contact with the sick, ea.termina- tion, as far as may be, of rats, a generous use of soap and water and opening up of dark places to the air, and sunlight are fatal to the spread of plague, It is because these'measures are im- possible of execution among the fil- thy and ignorant hordes inhabiting th e Centre ai he expresses the hope tint encourage- ment will not lee given to those who are in favor of using for the annihila- tion of dead bodies a most valuable material, and one of which the living may soon be in need if much of it is consumed in this war. Advocates of cremation do not agree with Professor Winkler, neither does Die Flarnme, the representative organ of the European cremation so- eleties. "Admitting," says the ]at - ter, "that the total population of the 180 greatest cities is 82,000,000, it is quite true that the average number of deaths each year will be one and two-thirds millions, and it is also true that about half a ton of coal will be required to consume each body of an adult, provided the furnace has to be `specially heated in each case. Pro- fessor Winkler apparently assumes that as much coal is required to con- sume a child's body as an adult's, which is manifestly absurd, and that whenever a body is cremated the fur- nace has to be11 h s pec ia y ea ed for the occasion. As a matter of fact, in the largest crematories at present the furnaces are always heated, and thus the amount of coal required to con- sume a body is hardly one-tenth of what it would be under other circum- stances." Finally, Die Flamme claims that the amount of coal which is now, or which is likely to be, used in crematories is insignifieunt compared with the amount which is used for industrial purposes, and that the value of the coal used in crematories is by no means so great as the value of the wood. used in coffins.
