The reason of this difference in opinion regarding the same person, lies in the fact that those who knew and associatr ed with Berndt previous-to the stabbing failed to Examine his features closely. They nose. After the carpenter's arrest.and when he was seated in the court room the several days occupied by the trial of his case, spectators, they had previously known the prisoner or not, had their attention centered chiefly on the peculiaritites of physiognomy.

They searched his face for the indications of degeneracy, and fcad little difficulty in locating what they wished to find. They saw that nose and 'did not consider it worth while to continue their study longer. jBerndt's eyes and his ears, reaching out as they do in flabby largeness from eith- ed side of his head and reminding one pomewhat of wings on bird kite, did not interest the observer. The shape and general appearance of the prisoner's olfactory organ sufficed in. ttie itimds on ail who scrutinized it to cata- 3ogue its owner as a typical degenerate, with strong criminal tendencies, a nose like Berndt's is not jjust as likely to be found on a deacon fcf the church or a respected, substantial farmer, as it is- on a convicted criminal, is a question which opens up too large a field in the philosophy of human nature to make any attempt to 'answer it possible in.

the present dis- cussion. It generally admitted, however, that 'Berndt type of nostril holder is a bad. one, probably indicative, of an equally; bad disposition and attitude toward his fellows. It will be presumed here that; assumption on the part of all who have gazed ou the prisoner is wholly even.if it has been arrived at through tho iuedium of scientific methods of thought Berndt's nose is extremely long, more than a third the length of the face from the roots of the hair on the forehead tb the point of the chin. This excessive elongation of the feature might not be 'so objectiohal in itself, if the shape of the organ were otherwise Here is where the Berndt nose falls down, figuratively speaking.

From the point where-it leaves irregular and indefinite eyebrows to. a point where it has almost reached its end, it is low, vague and almost perpendicular. This deformity is emphasized by the fact that the point is prominent; 'jutting suddenly, reaching out as well as down over lips. It is interesting to speculate whether it is Beradt's disposition and mental characteristics that reflected themselves in his nose and occasioned its base formation, or whether, on the contrary, his character and his mind have been shaped to conform themselves with the type of his nose. Parallel questions with regard to other persons might be as follows: Is a man "cheeky" because tae sides of his face are fully developed and of an adamantine hardness, or are his cheeks thus strong and firm because he is "cheeky?" Is the possessor of a prominent, projecting chin apt to be persevering or stubborn because of the chin? Does the chin form the mind, or the mind the chin? These inquiries are difficult to" answer, and a reply one way or the other has equal basis in ascertained facts and logic.

May it not be, then, that 'Berndt's nose was chiefly responsible for the stabbing of Ed Thocle, for the reason, impossible of disproof, that this ignoble organ shaped the character of its possessor'to a very great extent.

Frederick Starr finished the interview and then the two professors of the Chicago university walked off arm in arm to look over the museum. During the interview Prof. Starr told of his adoption into the Onondago branch of the great Iroquois nation. "The name that the Indians gave me," he said, "will be changed, next spring.

There is another thing that Prof. Starr is interestd in, and though it has its amusing side it also has its scientific attractions and to them is due the professor's interest. extra digit on han-d or foot is this thing.

EW cities in the world are sur- i ri rounded by elegant-and beautiful landscapes as Porfc- land, and perhaps as few fio many beautiful routes for excursions and pleasure trips. A little over 100 miles down one of the grandest rivers in America takes one to the ocean, giving an entire change of temperature, scenery and climate. About 100 miles up the river takes you to "The DallesBS of the river, where the great river runs several miles through a narrow crevice in solid rock, and instead of being over a mile wide, as it is elsewhere, it 3s a "mile deep" and only a few rods wide.

There one finds another climate, atmos- vhere and scenery, so different from Portland that he might easily believe Jie were 1,000 miles way. I made that trip during the line October weather, and I had often been there before, found it exceedingly enjoyable, not only on account of the fine scenery, but for the many historical and traditional reminiscences it recalls. Near the mouth of the Willimette river is a point from which five of our grandest pedpetual snow peeks may be peen at one view, dotting the great Cascade range of mountains for more than miles north and south, Mount being: the mostBortherly, while Mount Jefferson stands farthest south. Six miles above the mouth of the Willamette is old historic Vancouver, the ri oldest town in the Oregon country, excepting Astoria. Vancouver, was the Hurson Bay company's headquarters until the British withdrew from Oregon.

There Dr. John McLoughlin was for many years the governor; indeed, he might eb said to have been the government itself. A few miles above Vancouver, on the Washington side, is the site of the first mill in Oregon. The first apple, pear, peach and plum trees planted in old Oregon were at Vancouver. A few miles farther east is the mouth of the Sandy or "Quicksand 1 as Lewis and Clark callect it, where they halted while on'their way back in 1805 to law in a supply of game for food, having learned from Indians from the Cascdes that food could not be had further up on acocunt of its scarcity, and where they learned for the first "time of the existence of Multnomah or Willamette river.

A short'distance above the Sandy river stands the famous "Rooster at which every passer- by takes a "snapshot," and whose pic- ture. is seen almost everywhere. A little beyond, on the Washington side, is the wonderful "Cape Horn." with its impregnable battlements, its stupendous pyramids, towers and walls of solid basaltic rock many hundreds of feet high. There begins the magnificent florge' of the Columbia with rugged mountains on either side, many thousands of feet in height, dizzy cliffs, yawning canyons and beautiful waterfalls, some of which have a perpendic- mar fall of 700 feet Next comes grand "Castle Rock." on the Washington side, TOO feet high, standing alone on an almost level plain, a goodly distance from thft mountain from which it has some time fallen. Jay Cooke, one of the original movers in the Northern Pacific railroad, of the government the land on which it stands, and people who did not know said he intended to erect upon it a princely mansion.

Back of Castle Reck stands one of the lofty abutments of the "Bridge of the Gods." The other one stands about four miles east on the same side of the river. They are 4.000 feet high, and on a very clear day I can see one of them distinctly from ray home in Portland. South, and in front of'them, is the Cascades or falls of the place -interest, wMcft. recalls roari'y interesting happenings, of written and. traditional history.

There "once stood the ancient village of "Wishrara," inhabited by a tribe of "sharp traders and arrant rogues," who took the advantage given by the falls to fleece and rob the people who were obliged to pass through the narrows. There, according to Indian tradition, once stood the Bridge of the Gcds, a natural bridge across the Columbia, which long since.is supposed to fallen into the river, making the falls or Cascades. There may be soen the.place whero Lewis a.nd Clark landed and the trail over which they carried their goods and equipments in 1805. and where they Icwered their canoes down over the falls with ropes. There is where the first railroad in all the Oregon country was built, which for many years-received for transporting for six miles $20 per ton for all the freight that passed up or? down the great river.

-That obstruction in the river caused the'organization of a great corporation, which for many years controlled all the carrying trade -east of the Cascade mountains, and which made colossal fortunes for its owners in a short time. Thtere is where brutal Indian, massacre of men, anri -children occurred in'1856, when Lieutenant, later i General U. H. Sheridan vfas sent from I Vancouver with a small detachment of soldiers to relieve and defend the white settlers. There he fought his first bat- j-tle, for which, by special order from General Winfield Scott he was highly complimented for his sagacity and When Sheridan arrived at the Lower Cascades from Vancouver he found 300 Indian warriors between himself and the upper blockhouse, I where the surviving whites were defending themselves as best they could.

He stealthily crossed the river to the foot of Bradford's Island with his handful of men, where he found a lot of 4 eld men, women and children, who had been left there by the warriors for safety. By severe threats he forced the able-bodied squaws to assist in towing his barge up the rapids against the strong current. The Indians were soon routed and captured aud the "whites saved. Another interesting feature of the Cascades is the government canal; which cost about $4,000,000 and is a masterpiece of workmanship. This publicwork unloosed the hand of greed from the throat of the great Columbia quickened its and -The'mountains on river at the Cascades are 4,000 feet high; To an ordinary-'observer-the distance from the tops of these mountains on one side to those on the other would seem to be but two or three rniles, when in fact the distance is ten miles by- actual measurement A few miles above the 'Cascades stands the mysterious "sunken forest." Wh.en the water of the river is very clear, I'have been told by reliable per- sons'who claim to hare seen them, that hundreds of trees, petrified to solid stone, are standing erect on the bpttom of the river in its deep water, where tb ey grew.

I have seen many specimens of thai petrified wood, and have no doubt of the truth of this statement 'these petrified trees give very strong evidence to sustain the Indian tradition of the Bridge of the Gods, It seems quite improbable, in fact the river bottom could have sunk in the midst of so extensive a formation of solid rock. It is far more rational to believe that a portion of the tall moun- tfJn, in the highest and narrowest part of the gorge, had sometime fallen into and dammed up. the river, submerging the lower lands-along the river abov for. hundreds, perhaps of years, giving.tha"sunken forest'-ample time to become petriilecL Everything sees at Cascades Jiidicates that the Cascades were fortncd by the 'mountain -falling or the On the south side i sliding.

In the Portland On Sierra Leone letter: The strained conditions existing at the present time the British and French governments lead to the expectancy of almost any excuse being selected as a casus belli by France at this time. An. op- portunity now exists for a repetition of the Fashoda incident owing to the rapidity with which both the French and British are pushing their outposts In that part of the hinterland which forms the basin of-the River Niger'and which is virtually a part of the Western Soudan. The recent annexation of -Nigeria the British government has already led to the interchange of several notes on the subject btween the foreign offices of the two countries. By the Anglo-French agreement, of 1890 it was agreed that the French sphere of influence should extend from Algiers on the north to.

a line drawn between Lake Ts'chad and the town of Say on the Niger. This arrangement was a very indefinite and unsatisfactory one as it does not state whether or not Say Is included, in the French sphere and it in the territory recently annxed by Great Britain. A French expedition has now penetrated as the -River Niger and while ostensibly surveying with a view to accurate delimitation of the frontier a -situation some distance to. the south, of the river in the territory recently by the Bri- ish. It is possible that at any'moment a clash may the French, soldiers: engaged in the expeditionary work and a force of the Niger constabulary as feeling runs pretty high just now between the troops of the two countries.

As a matterNof fact it would be an ex- excellent piece of revenge to take upon the enterprising Gaul if the British should retire altogether from this region arid let France waste a few of her valuable lives on this tropical gehenna. For generations it been konwn as the White man's grave and as such has proved simply a burying ground for thousands of young Englishmen. Only the bulldog pertinacity of the race has kept-the British flag flying over what Is known as the West Coast Settlements. Added to "the disadvantages of the climate must be considered the treacherous and despicable character of the natives. These form a valuable auxiliary.

to the care to so regulate matters that there is little chance of an Increase of the white population of West Africa. As very little is known of this'part of Africa a brief description of a trip made by me as far Akoga, including a little experience with a primitive expedition sent to "bring an offending tribe to terms, may prove of general interest, On arriving at Akassa the landing stage of the Niger company, we rested for a few days before pushing on up the river. We then proceeded up the dirty brown current of the Niger, between low- lying banks covered with swamps and grass and jungle, the paradise of fever, loathsome reptiles and huge crocodiles. The natives who inhabit the Niger Delta we found to belong to the lowest scale of humanity. The only trait they showed in common with civilized, beings was the ability to get drunk, which they succeeeded in doing easily on a horrible intoxicant made from the fermented juice of the palm.

At Asaba, the seat of the judicial government, the appearance of the dotted with palm; trees taking tha try improved. The land rises there, and the vegetation become more luxuriant, an open country, dotted with palm trees taking the place of jungle swamp. At Id- dah, further up the river, we came upon a most remarkable and beautiful rock formation, exactly resembling two gates, there resulted in a big advantage afterwards. natives whom we met conducted us to a series of obstacles which well might puzzle a military expert, between which the steamer passes. Beyond this began to appear on" the banks and the natives seemed to be of a slightly higher grade.

Upon reaching Lokoja we found a remarkably fine town located at the junction of the Niger and Binne, From here the view across to Gando was ex- termelly fine. Gando Is the chief trading center and fishing town of the country to the east of two rivers and is situated exactly at the junction. It was said by the natives that a company of French soldiers had passed through the town shortly before our arrival at Lokoja, but we saw nothing of them. It is possible they may have been hunting and have come further south pursuit of their game than they intended. The country all around is open brush with rokcy hills amid which roan antelope and cow abound.

The principal magazine of the Niger company Is located at Lokoja. The cartridges shot and shell are stored in a very strong fort, surrounded by a deep ditch and a heavy stone outer -wall. Here there are barracks and all conveniences for the housing, of "a considerable number of troops, while the manufactories of the company are down on the banks of the river. The trouble which we were sent to quell had arisen with a tribe down the river located near Asaba and our purpose was to attack their capital, Akoja, Our force consisted of four officers and 150 men, and two guns, a machine seven pounder. Before proceeding across the jungle we called at On- itchi to pick up the principal medical officer of the company.

After collecting the necessary carriers and transport we started at three o'clock in the morning In order as far on the road as possible before the intolerable heat of the day commenced. Owing to the pitchy darkness our column became separated In the jungle and the second half of it found itself in an unknown country with the arrival of daybreak. The native guides were.not long bringing the two sections together and after camping for breakfast and a brief rest we started for N'tagi, the nearest friendly town to Akoja. The. march to N'tagi was the worst experience I ever remember.

The heat was intense and the mosnuitos were a growth which, considered with any known standard, were the Some of them were at least as big as the tropical wasp. Arriving at N'tagi we were met by a number of friendly disposed natives, who, aware of our purpose, had come out to welcome Had is not beeen for this, nothwithstanding our good equipment; disastrous results it every consideration 5.

He entered and made an exploration of a series of large underground chambers.

In each chamber was found ruins of former inhabitants of the cavern. Many rude inscriptions carved marble tablets were discovered aad a larffd col- of Aztec idols and ancient mining implements were brought to the surface. The discovery is looked upon as one of the greatest importance by local archaeologists.
