Where did  the camel get, its hump?  Be it known that camels did, not originally ha.ve humps on their backs.  So : says Professor Cattaneo, '.of the  Italian Institute of Science. Tlie proof  that they did not an-d the. explanation'  of why they have them, now is given  by this savant iu a recently published  monograph, which is the <\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd result of  eciientifie   study   of   the  subject.  Tho llama is known to have been  used as a beast of burden centuries  before tlie discovery of' the western  hemisphere, ; but. it-Ms asserted that  thousands of years before the first  llama carried a load'upon his back the  camel liad been domesticated and was  used for. the , transportation of bur-  dend.  It is upon this point .that the Italian  savant rests his fhtory as to the- i-  mation of thai animal's hump, in the  bC'Slnuing, he says, the camel, -like the  Uaina, .wits s!raigV.t of back, but a hundred centir.-ie.-,. rurhaps, of making a  pjick animal of the ciinu-l have brought  about the change. A' first the> skin  grew loose upon tlie camel's 1 -ae-k.  Then th<!!-e and upon its knees the skin  grew thick and callous. -Scion nature  began to pad this burdened' par1: with  fat and muscle; then for c-ijumiets generations heredity did^its woik; little  by little the hump grew, until it nnal-  ly acquired its' present size.

Our' growth certainly would be slower,  as it would not be as likely to increase  commercial houses  and ill-considered  investments, but  it   would   be   more  satisfying as time went on,   and highly  gratifying in the end.  The   fact   that mineral   in. paying I  quantities is found  in all   sections   of  the   Kootenay   country,   the   general  topography  of   the   country   goes   to  show that  instead  of our  cities with  hundreds of thousands   of population  everywhere, the country will be dotted  over with towns and villages every few  .  miles apart; and those   of. them  that  are best  commercially  situated, .and  have the most enterprising, citizens will  become to an extent supply centres for  their surroundings, and this is'all __.that  can be said   about it.    No one place  will be allowed to become  an octopus  and  swallow all  the business of the  '   the country, either through commercial  or mining possibilities.     For this reason   realestate and  commercial  sites  should  never reach  fabulous figures.

It is through a mountain pass on the  northern frontier of Greece that Turkey made its success in the late war,  and it was the International Boundary  commission of iSSr that left that open  door for the Sultan of Turkey.'  In the   Greek . of the present   time  the essential   traits of hi  ccstors are   either  apparent or   lying  dormant, to be called into existence, a  circumstance   that  of itself   ought   to  call   for   the   sympathies  of modern  times.

At that time   James   Brazed, Patrick Kinvin and George Wolls,  the well-known engineers, visitacl   the  couritry about Kootenay and Rossland,  and produced it   particularly, rich   in  gold, silver and   copper,   the   greatest  drawback being the   tremendous   stratum of granite in  many  instances   40  feet thick, interfering with   the   work  of mining.  Brazell had then a proposition before  the English government to send' out a  party of1,500 prospectors, covering an  area, of ten miles through British  Columbia in a northwesterly direction  from Rossland, the different camps being in constant -communication with  the main office of engineers that would  follow along,in their trail.

When  not\nmore  than, seventeen    she ;' ran  away\nwith her drawing-master, Alec Forster,\na, young ..artist,   who   had   dreams: of\nmaking   a   name   and   winning   fame.\nHer   f ami I y. never   forgave   her,\/ and'\"\nmy father took her to Paris.: There he\n'struggled  long    and    arduously.    The\nhost   engagement     he     had,'  was    as\ndrawing-master to  the pupils of Mrne.\nPudevant,  who had a large and fasti-\nior.able scho'ol in the Champs Elysees.\nHe died suddenly of fever when I was.\nfour  years\" old;  and  Mme. , Dudevant,\nwho   'was    a,, kind-hearted,     woman,\noffered my. mother a situation as English  teacher in'.her school.    My education   was. to  be-Jier  recompense\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdand,\ntruly,- I   received   a\/ first-class   education.    Had  I  been   the  daughter of' a\npeeress .Instead    of   .a  poor. ' English\ntfacher,   she   could   not'\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd-, have     taken\ngreater pains with me.    On my life at\n,the Parisian, pension I need not dwell.\nMy -mother  died  when I , was    nearly\neighteen; and after tiia't I could never\nendure the place,,it was so full of painful  memories  for     me,   Madame    was\nvery good;  when I   told  her how unhappy i felt,  she  said  the, best   thing,\nwe.uld  be  for  me  to' take  a  situation\nIn England.    She answered an  advertisement for a young lady who spoke\nFrench,  German.and Italian, and was\nwell acquainted with  the literature of\nthe  three countries:    It was  essential\nlhat  she  should  also   be  an  excellent\nmusician   and   a   good    singer.      The\nsalary proposed was most liberal, arid\na comfortable though exceedingly ciuiet\nhome  was  offered.   ' '  l\n\"You will be very fortunate.\" said\nMadame pudevant to me,- \"if you\nsecure, this.\" -\nVery fortunate indeed in a great\nmany respects !
