BAGHERMI, or Bagirmi, a district or kingdom of Central Africa, lying to the S. of Lake Chad and S.W. of Bornu. It extends about 240 miles from N. to S., and has a breadth of barely 150 miles. The surface is almost fiat, with a slight inclination to the N., and the general eleva tion is about 950 feet above sea-level. The Shari, a large and always navigable river, forms the western boundary, and throws out an important effluent called the Bachikam, which passes through the heart of the country. The soil consists partly of lime and partly of sand, and is by no means unfertile. In many parts not a stone is to be seen. Negro-millet, sesamum, and sorghum are the principal grains in cultivation, but rice grows wild, and several kinds of grass or poa are used as food by the natives. Cotton and indigo are grown to a considerable extent, especially by Boruu immigrants. Among the trees the most import ant are the tamarind, the deleb-palm, the dum-palm, the hajilij or Balanites cegyptiaca, the sycamore, and the cornel. The country often suffers from drought, and is greatly plagued with worms and insects, especially ants of all kinds, red, black, and white. The Kungjungjudu, a sort of beetle which does great damage to the crops, is eaten by the natives. A large proportion of the people have their feet mutilated by the attacks of a small worm, which takes up its residence in the first joint of the little toe and eats it gradually away. The inhabitants of Baghermi are a vigorous, well-formed race, who, according to their own traditions, came from the Far East several centuries ago. They speak a language cognate with those spoken by the Sara, who dwell about two degrees further south, and the Dor, who are situated at the confluence of the Dyor with the White Nile. On their arrival they soon extended their power over the Fellata and Arabs already settled in the district, and after being converted to Mahomctanism under Abd- Allah, their fourth king, they extended their authority over a large number of heathen tribes. The most import ant of these are the Sokoro, the Bua, the Nyillam, the Sara, the Tumok, and the Busso. They are almost all in a low state of civilisation, and practise strange superstitions a belief in a god whom they identify with thunder being the greatest extent of their religion. They are subject to the barbarous raids of their Baghermian masters, who derive from them a constant supply of slaves with which to pay the tribute demanded from them in their turn by the sultan of Bornu. For our knowledge of this district we are prin cipally indebted to Earth and Nachtigal ; the former was for some time a prisoner in Masseiia, the capital.

CAPEL, Arthur, Lord (c. 1600-1649), was the son of Sir Henry Capel. His birth year is not accurately known ; but it was about 1600. In 1610 he was chosen to represent the county of Hertford, and sat as a member of the Long Parliament, which was convened that year. He was elevated to the peerage by Charles I.; and on the break ing out of the revolutionary war he raised and maintained a troop in the royal interest, till the final triumph of the Parliamentarians compelled him to make peace with them. During the war he acted, together with Edward Hyde and Lord Colchester, as general in the west, and was concerned in important engagements at Bristol, Exeter, and Taunton. Having with noble devotion reassembled his troop in order to effect the rescue of Charles, he was forced by famine and sedition to surrender at Colchester to General Fairfax, and was condemned by the Commons to be banished ; but on the authority of some of the Parliamentary leaders he was immediately committed to the Tower. He contrived to eiFect his escape from prison, but was apprehended at Lambeth, and again committed to stand his trial at Westminster for treason. He was condemned to death, and was executed on the 9th of March 1649, exhibiting on the scaffold the greatest calmness and dignity. He was the author of Daily Observations or Meditations, a posthumous publication, which was afterwards reprinted under a difer- ent title, with an account of his life.

There are oyster-beds on the coast, but the produce requires to be freed from a peculiar flavour by the purer waters of the Welsh and English coast before it is fit for food. The ruins of the ancient castle of the Ormonds, demolished in 1649 by Cromwell, still exist, but there are no traces of the monastery founded by Fitzwalter. In 1789 the Irish insurgents were defeated by the royal troops near Arklow Bridge. Population (1871), 5178.

United States Supreme Court
224 U.S. 680
English v. Richardson
Argued: February 23, 1912. --- Decided: May 13, 1912
The plaintiff holds a patent dated December 12, 1902. It was issued to her as a member of the Creek Nation when the tribal lands were divided in pursuance of the same general policy as that discussed in Choate v. Trapp, just decided. [[[224 U.S. 665]], 56 L. ed. --, 32 Sup. Ct. Rep. 565.] There were, however, a few differences. The tax exemption covered only the homestead of 40 acres, and there was a restriction on alienability for twenty-one years. The patent, instead of being 'framed in conformity with the agreement,' as in the case of the Choctaws and Chickasaws, bore on its face a provision that the land should be nontaxable; the language of the agreement incorporated in the act of Congress being that 'each citizen shall select from his allotment 40 acres of land . . . as a homestead, which shall be and remain nontaxable, inalienable, and free from any encumbrance whatever for twenty-one years from the date of the deed therefor, and a separate deed shall be issued to each allottee for his homestead, in which this condition shall appear.' [32 Stat. at L. 503, chap. 1323, § 16.]
These differences are not material. The right of plaintiff to the exemption granted by Congress is protected by the Constitution on principles stated and applied in Choate v. Trapp. The judgment dismissing her complaint is therefore reversed, and the case remanded for proceedings not inconsistent with that opinion.
Reversed.

# Enterprise and Adventure/A Rolling Stone

A ROLLING STONE.
Mr. Kendall, a gentleman who accompanied the American Santa Fé expedition in New Mexico, having crossed the great sandy desert in the centre of that country, found one day, near his encampment, a celebrated stone, weighing about two hundred pounds, the history of which is curious. Many years before his arrival, this stone was found near the pool which the people call the Diamond of the Desert, and was the only one within many miles of that spot. A band of muleteers, passing that way, commenced lifting it in sport, and finally one or two of them were found strong enough to raise it to a level with, and then throw it over their heads. By accident the stone fell just in a direction towards the city of Mexico; and the muleteers having spoken of this fact to their fellows, by some strange freak of superstition, it became in course of time regarded as a duty among the muleteers who travel that road to facilitate the progress of the stone towards the capital, a distance of about fourteen or fifteen hundred miles. Accordingly, every muleteer who passed along gave the stone a trial; and although scarcely one in fifty was found able to throw it over his head, in no other way was it allowed to be moved.
By this odd system of advancing, this "rolling stone" had progressed, at the time of Mr. Kendall's visit, some twelve or fourteen miles on its travels, and this within a century and a half. The number of travellers upon the road is considerable, it being the highway of ​all traffic between New Mexico and the State of Chilhuahua; yet the stone progresses only at this slow rate, the same person not being allowed to throw it over his head more than once. The muleteers were accustomed to say that when it should have travelled further down the country, some ages hence, its transit would be more rapid; but centuries upon centuries must pass away before the strange wayfarer could arrive at its journey's end. "Throughout the country," says Mr. Kendall, "the inhabitants have many strange customs, superstitions, and observances, borrowed from the Indians, and all taking their rise from some circumstances of trifling import; but this idea of starting a stone which few can lift, upon so long a journey, and by such ludicrous means, is the most singular of all."
# Enterprise and Adventure/A Ship in the Mountains

A SHIP IN THE MOUNTAINS.
In the year 1826, Messrs. Rundell and Bridge, an eminent firm of jewellers in London, purchased the gold mines of Tipuani and the emerald mines of Illimani in Peru, determining to work them for their own profit by an agent to be established there. These mines were situated on the banks of the Lake Chiquito, which is two hundred and fifty miles long and one hundred and fifty miles broad, and the country around was wild and desolate, abounding in rugged and impenetrable mountains, and in sandy and sterile plains. To this region Messrs. Rundell and Bridge, dispatched a gentleman ​named Page, who speedily organized a plan for working the mines by means of the wild tribes of Indians, who were almost the sole inhabitants of that lofty region; but the difficulty of feeding so large a body of workmen as was required was very great. The only vegetable produce of the district was a species of red potato and a few edible plants; though to the east of the great lake at Copacasana, and in the valley of Bolivia, were cultivated maize, barley, and fruit-bearing trees. No vessels, however, existed on the lake except canoes, which did not venture to cross its stormy waters, and to reach these sources of food-supplies by land in a rugged country without roads, was scarcely practicable. At a short distance from Tipuani were other productive mines belonging to General O'Brien and an Englishman named Begg, and to these gentlemen Mr. Page suggested the idea of jointly constructing a vessel for the navigation of the lake.
The project was a difficult one. The lake was actually situate at eighteen thousand feet above the level of the sea, and neither shipwrights nor appliances for shipbuilding could be obtained in those parts; but Mr. Page determined to overcome these obstacles. Having returned again to Arica on the sea-coast, he purchased in that port an old brig stripped of her anchors, sails, and rigging, and he succeeded, with extreme difficulty, in conveying the hull to the Apolambo, a river whose waters fall into the Lake of Chiquito. Thither he also brought some ordinary carpenters, who built a rude kind of stocks, and, after two years of almost unceasing labour, they succeeded in launching their vessel on the lake, thus opening a regular ​communication with the more fertile regions of the opposite shore. By this means the Indians, and all others connected with the settlement, were thenceforth abundantly supplied with food, the brig sailing well, and being well provided with everything save anchors, which it was found impossible to convey to such a height. Thus, for the first time, a vessel fully equipped was seen by the astonished Indians floating on the waters of Lake Chiquito, in the centre of which is the island mentioned by their traditions as the cradle of Peruvian civilization and the sacred burial-place of their ancient kings.

THE PRINCESS AND THE PEA
THE PRINCESS AND THE PEA
ONCE upon a time there was a prince. He wanted to marry a princess, but she must be a real princess. So he traveled all over the world to find such a princess, but everywhere there was something in the way.
Princesses there were in abundance, but whether they were real princesses he could not quite make out. There was always something which was not quite right. So he returned home, and was so distressed, for he wanted so much to find a real princess.
​One evening a terrible storm set in. It lightened and thundered, and the rain poured down in torrents. It was really dreadful! All at once there was a knock, at the gate of the city, and the old king himself went to open it.
It was a princess who stood outside. But, merciful heavens! what a sight she was, after all the rains and the terrible weather! The water ran down her hair and clothes, and in at the toes of her shoes and out at the heels; and she told the king she was a real princess.
"Ah, well, we shall soon find that out," thought the old queen to herself; but she did not say anything. She went into the bedroom, took off all the bedclothes, and put a pea at the bottom of the bed. She then took twenty mattresses and put them on top of the pea, and next she put twenty eider-down beds on the top of the mattresses.
There the princess was to sleep that night.
In the morning they asked her how she had slept.
"Oh, horribly!" said the princess. "I have scarcely closed my eyes the whole night. Goodness knows what was in the bed. I have been lying on something hard till I am blue and black all over my body. It is really dreadful!"
Then they knew that she was a real princess, since she had felt the pea through the twenty mattresses and the twenty eider-down beds. No one but a real princess could be so tender and delicate.
The prince then took her for his wife, for now he knew that he had got a real princess; and the pea was placed in the Art Museum, where it is still to be seen, if no one has stolen it.
Now, that's what I call a really good story!

# Encyclopædia Britannica, Ninth Edition/Tamarisk

TAMARISK. The genus Tamarix gives its name to a small group of shrubs or low trees constituting the tamarisk family. The species of tamarisk and of the very closely allied genus Myricaria grow in salt deserts, by the sea-shore, or in other more or less sterile localities in south temperate, subtropical, and tropical regions of the eastern hemisphere. Their long slender branches bear very numerous small appressed leaves, in which the evaporating surface is reduced to a minimum. The flowers are minute and numerous, in long clusters at the ends of the branches or from the trunk. Each has 4-6 free sepals, and as many petals springing with the 4-12 stamens from a fleshy disk. In Tamarix the stamens are free, while in Myricaria they are united into one parcel. The free ovary is one-celled, with basal placentas, and surmounted by 3-5 styles. The fruit is capsular, and contains numerous seeds, each usually with a long tuft of hairs at one end. The great value of these shrubs or trees lies in their ability to withstand the effects of drought and a saline soil, in consequence of which they grow where little else can flourish. It is on this account that the common tamarisk, T. gallica, is planted on our sea-coasts, and affords shelter where none other could be provided. The light feathery appearance of the branches, and the pretty rose-coloured flowers, render it also an elegant and attractive shrub, very different in character from most others.
Some species produce galls, valued for their tannin, while the astringent bark of others has been valued for medicinal purposes. The ashes of the plant, when grown near the sea, are said to contain soda; but, when cultivated inland or on sweet soil, they are, it is alleged, free from soda.

TAMBOFF, capital of the above government, 300 miles distant from Moscow, is situated on the Tsna river, and on the railway from Kozloff to Saratoff. It is almost entirely built of wood, with broad unpaved streets, lined with low houses surrounded by gardens. It has a small public library, a theatre, and the few educational institutions which are usual in the chief towns of Russian provinces. Its manufactures are insignificant; and its trade, in local grain and in cattle purchased in the south and sent to Moscow, is far less important than that of Morshansk or Kozloff. The population in 1884 was 34,000.
