Imrethmon When, be Weis Theta.
Very young students, in their first at
tempts at composition, ofteu informedu
that the horse is a useful animal. " Thi
sweeping generalization is subject to iinpor
tent modifications before it is accepted in al
communities. There ale many thousands o
horses that toil not like their progenitors
but go like the wind where it listeth, an
are looked upon at intolerable nuisances i
the civilized regions they sometimes invade
Our Australian friends, ,for instance, are n
overs of the horse in his -untamed state, an
some of the colonies sot a price upon his
head, and do all they can to stimulate move
ments for his destruction. Several thousand
wild'horses were shot in New .South Wales
alone in 1875. These rovers of the plains
play the mischief with domesticated animals
when they come among them, and the colo-
nists are very much disgusted to observe
that thenoble horse, relapsing into barbar-
ism, and forgetting his oats and the other
comforts of civilization, runs off with his
wild brethren who have not enjoyed his su-
perior advantages.
It must be confessed that our horses need
the restraints imposed upon them to pro -
vent them from, disgracing their ancestors,
who were certainly domesticated when they
were introduced into this country. Years
ago it used to be the custom in our south-
western territory to brand the young stock,
and even many work animals, and.turn them
loose to shift for, themselves for a year or
two. When they are wanted they were
always as wild as Mexican mustangs. Mr..
Powell wrote a book on the best method of
taming wild horses. The specimens on which
he exec ted his talents as a tarsier were, for
the most part, formerly domesticated ani-
mals, who had forgotten all about their re,
straints while wandering over the plains of
our southwestern territory.
Travellers in western territories are no
longer in danger of such an eruption of
horse -flesh as Murray described in his
"Travels in North America." He not only
witnessed a stampede of thousands of panic-
st+ie'tee horses, but the living torrent swept
along towards and over his camp, trampling
skins and dried meat into the ground,
knocking down some of the tents, and
taking with them all its horses except his
riding mare, who vainly struggled to break
her fastenings. They will range in much
smaller herds than formerly an the plains of
the Upper Colorado; but the wild horse,
like the buffalo, has practically disappeared
before the advance of the white man.
In epito of the experience of the Austral-
ians, many peoples, chiefly savage, have been
able to turn the will horse to good aced •nt.
Hundreds of thousands of Mexican mustaugs
have been reduced to servitude. The wild
horse of the South American pampas, which
three centuries ago, only fifteen years atter
the horse was introduced from. Europe, had
spread to regions as remote as Patagonia,
has been tamed by thousands, and has be-
come the useful servant of Indian tribes.
Naturalists often discuss the question
whether there is now in the world such a
creature as an aboriginal or truly wild horse
We know very well that the wild horses of
the Western Hemisphere aro altdoseendants
of domeatieated animals. Where, then, is
the aboriginal wild horse to be found? The
question will nrobablynever besettlod. Mr.
J. H. Steel, who recently road an interest-
ing paper on "Wild Horses" before the
Bombay Natural History Society, thinks the
evidence is in favor of the existence of the
wild horse in central Asia, Owner, the great
authority on zoology of. the sixteenth cen-
tury, was of the same opinion, but the feet
has often been questioned, and the assertion
cannot positively bo made that the wild
hese of the rent mountain region which the
r w h
g g
Russians are now oxploriug, and of which
they have secured some specimens, is not
himself the descendant of ancient domestic
animals.
Another question of importance as yet un-
solved is; Whether two or three years' run
on the pempaswolddrejuvenate the average
stent oar horse, develop the latah savagery
of his nature, and make a wild horse of him.
If equiue liberty and freedom from human
restraint could achieve such a miracle, it
would be very interesting to know it.
A Mothe.'s Infiueace
Writing of a mother who, though "no
angel," was "a dearer being, alt dipt in
angel instinctil, breathing Paradise," Tenny-
son exclaims :
Happy ho
With such a mother! faith in womankind
Beats with his blood, and trust in all things
high
Comes easy to him, and though ho trip and
fall,
Tie shall not bind his soul with clay.
The poet's thought is illustrated by a
little story told by the Rev. Joshua Cooke,
in an article on the mule -doer, contributed
to "The Big Game of North America."
The clergyman's oliest son, a ranohman
in Oregon, stands six feet and an inch in his
stoclziugs, and is a powerful man, a good
shot, a fine hunter, warm-heartod and gen•
erous. One day a fellow-ranchman cane to
his cabin, and said : .
"Mr. Cooke, my old mother is dead. She
was a Christian woman, and I don't want to
put her in the ground like the cattle we
bury. There isn't a minister within thirey
miles. Your father is a minister; you have
taught in our Sabbath school. Would you
come and say a word over my mother?"
It was a new experience ; tho big boy
thought a moment, and then said:
"Whitehead, I never did. anything of the
kind, but if it was my mother—and 1 have
one whom I worship—I should feel as you
do. Your mother shan't be buried like a
dog. I'll comp."
Afterward he wrote to his father :
"I recalled the words l had so often heard
you pronounce over the dead. All alone I
road a passage of scripture, sang a verse of
a hymn, said a short prayer, said the ' dust
to dust ' and all was over. It was a tight
place, father ; all the men and women of the
valley were there ; but I thought of mother
and it carried me through."
A rough young ranclinian said to this son
one day, " Rates, we notice that you will
take pet with us in our sports up to a cer•
whin point, and then you stop. . We wonder
y."
"Jerry," he answered, " When I left
home I matte up my mind to go nowhere and
take part in nothing that would displeasemy
mother."

months of diminished sunlight in the year
934, which terminated by an apparent open-

of Humbolt's "C'osmos"), the sun turned
suddenly black and remained so for three
hours. For days after the blackness had
dissappeared the sun gave out a peculiar
greenish light, which occasioned great
alarm.

It was after Emin left the upper Kagera
River, still pursuing his journey westward,
that lie made theimportautdiscovery which
Dr. Danokelmann briefly mentions. The
details of thisdiscovery are promisodin later
letters. All that is now known is that from
sixty to seventy-five milea west of the near-
est route followed by previous explorers, a
river known as the Kifa has been discover-
ed. Its course to the north is not far from
the bean day line boundary line between the
Congo State and the German possessions
The explorers say it rises in Uhha, a coun-
try lying near the northeast coast of Tan-
ganyika. If that is the ease, the river ex-
tend north from 200 to 259 miles. They add
that it emp ies into the Albert Edward
Lake, and it is presumed that the explorers
followed its course to that body of water,
the mystery surrounding which was dis-
pelled by Stauley on his last journey across
Africa. Geographers had long debated
whether this lake was tributary to the Nile
or the Congo ; Stanley proved that its
waters feed the Nile. If the Kifu rises in
Uhha it is undoubtedly the longest
tributary of Lake Albert Edward ; for the
Victoria Nyanza basin on the east and the
rongon-Tanganyika basin on the west give
no opportunity in those directions for equal-
ly important tributaries of Lake Albert
Edware. There is also a strop„ probability
that that the Klfu is the ultimate source of
the Nile.
We know of no tributary of the Victoria
Nyanza reaching so far south as the sup-
posed source of this new-found river. Stan-
ley believed he had found the fountain
head of the Nile in the Shinieeyu River in
5° south latitude. But we know to -day of
no river so far south that is tributary to
Victoria Nyanza, Its feeders rising furthest
south, as far as we know, are the Isange
and the Wami rivers ; and neither appears
to be a very important stream.
In later news substantiates our present
information, there will be good reasons for
believing that the fountain head of the Kifu
River is the ultimate source of the Nile, and
that the question which has exercised the
geographers of many centuries is solved at
last ; and the important geographical fact
will be established that at least four-fifths
o. the country between Victoria Nyanza on
the east and Lakes Albert Edward and
Tanganyika on the west belong to the Nile
and not to the Congo basin.

point everything had progressed smoothly
and unir.terruptedly,'but when it came to
an agreement upon the neutral arbitrators
there was a. hitch. Great Britain could not
be induced to submit any names of persons
who would be acceptable to her, and has not
up to this time. Unless Lord Salisbury
speedily gives his attention to the negoti-
ations the prospects are favourable for a re-
newal of the modus vivendi, with all its har-
assing features, which was in force last sea-
son ; for it is not probable that a rupture
will occur between Great Britain and the
United States on a matter so unimportant
as the personality of the arbitrators.
