A DESCRIPTION OF MANCHURIA, | very good to eat, and can always be obtained | Imähithi s

without difficulty. When a new gang of coolies arrived from Java, most of them usually made themselves ill by devouring land crabs as if they had never before had half enough to eat, and indeed, to men whose food had ordidarily consisted of a litte rice and salt, with a bit of dried fish for a relish; it must have seemed that they had reached a land of plenty.

Manchuria.

In the May number of the Forum Prince Krapotkin' writes on the physical features of He says Immense stretches of a high, cold, and marshy, plateau; wide, sundy, and waterless plains on the middle Suagari, similar to those of the Easteni Gobi, and also inhabited by nomad Mongols only; great expanses of marshy lowlands on the lower Sungari, inundated during the period of the mon soon rains; poverty and a hard struggle against an inclement nature; a thin population scatter- ed along the rivers, in the deep valleys separated from each other by mountains thickly clothed with wood, in the Ghirin province- these are what we saw. Only a few fertile plains, one about Tsitsikar, on the Nonni river, and anotlier between Merghen and Aihun, relieve the generally poor aspect of the territory. This is, in a few words, the general character of more tha two-thirds Manchuria,"

If one ond ridles twenty miles from the river, -be finds nothing but a succession of low, marshy troughs, separated from one another by unfertile hillocks or impenetrable marshes on the banks of the Usurtintil he reaches the mountains. The result is that Wladivostock has no hinterland, properly speaking. It is a port thrown out on the Pacific coast, very far from the regions where a thick Russian popula. It is more than 600

tion can ever be settled. miles from the Blagovestchensk plains, and another 1,000 miles trom the plains of tmns- Baikalia and nothing but mere strings of villages could be kept up between the Pacific port and these two possible centres of a future population. This is what 'the strong footing of Russia on the Pacific' comes to in "reality. The interests pursued by Russian statesmen in the east ate the interests of a military state, not those of the Russian nation. If Russia should abaten all her possession on the Pacific-with which she cannot be con. nected otherwise than by keeping a military road across a territory which will never be Russian, but is sure to be more and more colonized by Chinese--this abandonment would spare to the nation enormous sacrifices; it

would avoid the possibility of war entangle ments in the cast; and it would only strengthen the position of Russia against any possible invasion from the east. Fully, granting the possibility of a militarily feformed China rusb-. ing some day, with its millions of men, agains the Argans, which case Russia would be the firit to support the shock, it is not. in the

· Amur regida and still less in Manchuria, but in trans-Baalis, ausidst a thoroughly Russian

population, at the first stand could be made against that invasion."

LAND-CRABS OF CHRISTMAS

ISLAND.

(FROM "PEARSON'S MAGAZINE."] To some people it will be news that besides the sea-crabs, with which every one is familiar, there are in many tropical countries several varieties which live entirely on dry land, and often at long distances from water. During a recent visit to Christmas Island, which is situated on the Indian Ocean, some 200 miles south of Jara, have had occasion to make the personal acquaintance sometimes enpleasantly close, of some of these remarkable crustaceans, and a short account of their curious habits may be of interest. One of the commonest and the largest of the Christmas Island land. crabs is the well-known rubbercrab, which is found in most of the tropical islands of the Indian and Pacille Oceans. It some. times reaches a length of 2 feet, and may measure 7 inches across the back, its colours are of a very gaudy description, the ground colour being a bright red, upon which there are stripes of yellow, but in some cases a purplish blue is the prevailing tint.

The eyes are fixed an auths which can be moved in. dependently of one another, and there are two pairs of feelers, one long, the other short; the latter pair are continually jerked up and down. There is a pair of powerful claws, then several walking legs. In general appearance these animals are much more like rather stout lobsters than crabs, and one's first encounter with one of these creatures in the middle of a forest far from the sea is productive of much

astonishinent on both sides.

In Christmas Island these crabs are common everywhere, and even if none are in sight it is only necessary to sit down for a few minutes, when a dozen or so will be seen approaching from all sides. They advance slowly with fre quent stoppages, and if he observer sits quite still, they finish the last few feet at a rush, and then commence investigating boots and clothes with their big claws with a view. to getting at something catable. The experiment was never carried beyond this point, as the consequences seemed likely to prove painful. As soon as the least movement was made, they would scramble away backwards by a succession of jerks, and seek to thrust the hinder part of the body into any hole or crevice in the rocks, or trep-trunks that happened to be at hand; this done, they at once presented a bold front to the foe and siruck out viciously with their long, sharp front legs. The reason for this anxiety to each shelter is that the binder part of the body is comparatively soft and vulnerable, just as it is in the case of the hermit crabs which are often scan on English shores, lying in old whelkshells the creatures seem fully conscious of their weak point and always keep their face to an enemy, The dogs of the island have dis- covered that they can kill these crabs by biting Away the soft tail, which they eat, and the older hands are very skilful in doing thie, but for a novice, the attempt often leads to disastrous consequences; and "sounds of lamentation, which can be heard a mile off, uttered by a dog with a big crab hanging on to its nose or. ear, ought to be a warning to incautious puppies.

THE NEW FRENCH REMEDY.

THERAPION.

This succesful and highly popular remedy, as employed in the Continental Hospitals by Ricord, Rostan, Jobert, Velpeau, and others, combines all the desiderata to be sought in a medicine of the kind, and surpasses everything hitherto employed.

-THERAPIÓN, No. 1, in a few days only, removes all discharges from the urinary organs, effectually superseding injections, the use of which does irreparable harm. by laying the foundation of stricture and other serious dis enses. In dysentery, piles, irritation of the towar bowel, cough, bronchitis, asthma, and some of the more trying complaints of this kind, it will be found astonishingly efficacious, affording prompt relief where other well-tried remedies have been powerless,

THERAPION No. 2, for impurity of the blood, scurvy, pimples, spots, blotches, pains and swellings of the joints, secondary symp soms, disease of the bones, sore throat, and all diseases for which it has been too much a fashion to employ mercury, sarsaparilla, &c., to the destruction of the sufferer's teeth and ruin, of health. This preparation purifies the whole system through the blood, and throughly eliminates every poisonous matter from the body.

THERAPION No.3, for nervous exhaustion, waste of vitality, and all the distressing con." sequences arising from early error, excess, (40 residence in hot, unhealthy climates, &c. If posseses surprising power in restoring strength and vigour to the debilitated.

THERAPION may be procured of the prin cipal Chemists and Merchants throughout the world Price in England 2/9 and 4/6, In order ing, the purchaser should state which of the three numbers he requires, and observe that the word "THERAPION" appears on thé Gövérna, ment, Stamp (in white letters on a red ground) affixed to every genuine package by order of Her Majesty's Hon, Commissioners, and with out which it is a forgery.
