happened to be beside the sandy bed
of a trickling salt stream which was
drinkable in winter but absolutely itn
usable in summer when evaporation
is at its height and the salt is concen
trated
See said one of our Turcomans
as we dismounted here Is some sand
Tonight we can have some good
bread
When some dry twigs had been gath
ered he proceeded to smooth off a bit
of the cleanest sand and built upon it
a hot tire When the sand was thor
oughly hot he raked off most of the
coals and smoothed the sand very neat
ly Meanwhile one of the other men
had made two large sheets of dough
about three quarters of an Inch thick
and eighteen inches in diameter He
tween these he placed a layer of lumps
of sheeps tail fat making a huge
round sandwich This was now spread
on the hot sand coals mixed with sand
were placed completely over it and it
was left to bake Now and then an
edge was uncovered and a Turcoman
smelled it appreciatively and rapped
on it to see if it was yet cooked
When the top was thoroughly baked
the bread was turned over and covered
up again It tasted even better than
the Afghan bread after It was cooled
a little and the sand and ashes had
been whisked off with a girdle The
Turcomans are so accustomed to life
in the sandy desert that they think it
impossible to make the best kind of
bread without sand while the Af
ghans who live in the stony moun
tains think that cobblestones are a
requisite
THE ZANZIBARIS
Dense Stupidity and Amusing Blunders
of the Natives
In the Autobiography of Sir Henry
M Stanley the author says of the
colored natives of central Africa
Good as the majority of Zauzibans
were some of them were indeseriha
bly and for me most unfortunately
dense One man who from his personal
appearance might have been judged
I to be among the most intelligent was
after thirty mouths experience with
his musket unable to understand how
it was to be loaded lie never could
remember whether he ought to drop
the powder or the bullet into the mus
ket Qrst Another time he was sent
with a man to transport a company of
men over a river to camp After wait
ing an hour 1 strode to the bank or
the river and found them paddling in
opposite directions each blaming the
other for his stupidity and being in a
passion of excitement unable to hear
the advice of men across the river
who were bawling out to them how to
manage their canoe
Another man was so ludicrously
stupid that he generally was saved
from punishment because his mistakes
were so absurd We were one day
floating down the Kongo and it being
near camping time I bade him as he
happened to be bowman on the ocea
sion to stand by and seize the grass
on the bank to arrest the boat when I
should call out In a little while we
came to a tit place and I cried TJold
hard Kirango Please God master
he replied and forthwith sprang on
the shore and seized the grass with
both hands while we of course were
rapidly swept down river leaving him
alone and solitary on the bank The
boats crew roared at the ridiculous
sight but nevertheless his stupidity
cost the tired men a hard pull to as
cend again for not every place was
available for a camp
He it was also who on an occasion
when we required the branch of a spe
cies of arbutus which overhung the
river to be cut away to allow the ca
noes to be brought nearer to the bank
for safety actually went astride of the
branch and chopped away until he fell
into the water with the branch and
lost our ax He had seated himself on
the outer end of the branch

ITII losses In property run
ning far up into the millions
ami an appallingly long list
of dead and injured the tloods
in Paris and throughout France reach
ed the dimensions of n great national
calamity that startled the entire civi
lized world The unprecedented storms
which visited the country and raged
for days turned the rivers into raging
torrents the ordinarily peaceful Seine
rising higher than it has risen before
In a hundred years
Floods are by no means a rarity in
raris but cldom do they reach the
proportions of the present inundation
bringing disaster not only to the
Frei ch capital but to many other cit
ies and towns unfortunately situated
along the banks of the Seine in what
Is known as the Seine basin Rain
falls of no unusual extent cause a rap
id rise of the waters in the river and
a consequent Hooding of the banks
but when there is a continuous down
pour as at the present time and such
as struck the country in 1S02 the sit
uation develops into a national calam
ity
Several causes contribute to this
First of all Paris and much of the
V I-
A VIEW OP PAIUS SHOWING THE SEINE
ASi JsOTKE Will
surrounding territory are situated in a
shallow basin surrounded by hilis aid
traversed by the river Seine which is
fed by numerous large streams rising
in the mountains within several hun
dred miles of the city on either side
of the river Uains in the hills espe
cially when there is snow to be melted
to add its quota to the rush of waters
cause all the tributaries of the Seine
to fill their banks with turbulent Hood
streams
As there is no other outlet all these
waters converge into the Seine mostly
above Paris Thus the Aube the
Yonne the Loing and the Marne riv
ers all add to the depth of the main
river already swelled by ilocd condi
tions in the mountains of Cote dOr
where it rises When it is considered
that the banks of the river in the vi
cinity of Paris are comparatively low
it will be seen that any rise much
above the ordinary will cause a flood
ing of the great basin
This condition is aggravated by the
course the Seine takes as it flow
through the city Up to the very
gates of Paris almost it runs straight
from the mountains keeping its wa
ters well confined in the main stream
But scarcely does the river enter the
city boundaries than it begins a serie
of serpentine windings The channel
of the stream is blocked with numer
ous islands the divided current flow
ing on botli sides
The city is literally built around the
river at this point and the mad
streams of a flood seeking a straight
course leap over their shallow con
fines and rush through the streets
Gales on the ocean may add to the
difficulty by causing a tidal bore to
back up the river and to hinder its
natural outlet to the sea The estuary
too is blocked by shifting sand banks
which at times obstruct the natural
flow of the water
The city of Paris proper covers
about 20000 acres of which the Seine
occupies 1700 acres The river enters
Paris from the southwest and aftei
making a sweeping bend leaves Paris
at the southeast It averages two or
three hundreds yards in width
As the storm progressed and the
Seine overflowed many sections of the
French capital were submerged in
cluding the famous Bois de Boulogne
and fine residences subways noted
buildings and historic monuments
were inundated many of the struc
tures collapsing Iiowboats were used
on the flooded streets the owners ask
ing fabulous sums for removing furni
ture and valuables to places of safety
In the suburbs the situation was ap
palling hundreds of helpless people
clinging to the housetops the streets
being under fifteen and twenty feet
of water Thousands of dollars have
been appropriated by the government
for relief of the victims Private cit
izens also rendered much aid both
financially and otherwise All political
differences were buried and the na
tion has given the world a fine exhibi
tion of pluck and solidarity in the
face of her great disaster
The present flood began with heavy
storms on Jan 17 Besides Paris the
towns of Billancourt Argenteuil As
iiieres Sevres Meudon Lille Chalons
Troves Montereau He St Denis
Ivry Vitry Maisons Lafitte Poissy
Juvigny and manyi
others are severely affected
i The Big Horn Basin the Yellowstone Valley and the large Dry
Fanning valleys in Wyoming along the Burlington offer exception-
al opportunities for farmers merchants mechanics and professional
Burlingtons Alain Lines to the Northwest
e All of these rich farming valleys are surrounded by valuable
pasture laud containing timber for the settlers and in most cases
coal and valuable building stone
