The Tribes Of Central Africa.

The African traveller DR. q. Schwein.
furth gives an interesting account IN the
Cologne Gdsette Of M expedition to the
country OF the MAN Mans, which, he
says had never been visited ~ scien-
tiiic traveller before. He pei ,ormed this
as the guest of Mohemmed Abu Sammat,
trader in ivory and the party consisted
of 300 persons. The climate OF the
country is Extremely healthy" but
travelling is difficult on account Of the
numerous bogs and marshes; IN the south
ern district, the caravan had to cross II
river or bog nearly every quarter OF an
hour, and the crossing often occupied
several hours, The general character OF
| the land is that of II steppe, except ON
the banks OF the river, which are thickly
wooded and provided with narrow foot
paths In crossing II river the travellers
usually sunk Ia their hippo in black mud,
and huge leeches stuck To their legs.
They suffered good deal for want OF
food all they could get was corn occa-
sionally, and some bulbous roots 1cassaye,
cofocasia, bananas, and excellent yams),
but no meat, except fowls On the re-
turn journey they killed some large
antelopes, without which they would
have been almost starved They passed
through the dominions of the chiefs
Serbia Sabbi Nganye and Uando lthe
latter of whom presented DR.. Schwein-
forth with II large jar full OF scorched
elephants tripe taken from an animal n
hundred year old, and finally reached
the residence of Munsa, the King Of the
Mombuttu. This place lies about B deg,
north latitude south Of the great Celle
River, which DR.. Schweinfurth believes
is the same as the Upper Khar lafllucnt
of Lake Tohadj, and joins the Blue Nile
at khartoum. Munsa is "reddish-
brown savage. covered all over with
shining copper ornaments, like II Well
kept kitchen = his wives are painted in
all sorts of colors, and the rooms in this
palace are az large as railway stations
that in which the travellers were reiyed
was 100 feet long, 30 feet wide md 40
feet high. Cannibalism is prevalent both
among the Mombbttu and the MAN
Mans. Munsa eats human flesh daily,
and the Mombuttu go regularly on hunt
ing expeditions among the wild negro
races III the south the dead and wound
ed are either eaten on the spot or their
flesh dried for future consumption, and
the prisoners are carried away to be
eaten at leisure. As for the MAN Mans,
they make war on the Nubians ont of
sheer caupihalism Flesh, flesh ~ is
their war-cry, and any slave that comes
IN their way is at once sacrificed to their
ruling passion. On the return journey
the travellers We're repeatedly attacked
hN N1ap,. with Iunn1a and hnnln-
erangs, but their only casualties were
two wounded, one Of whom was the
leader of the caravan, Mohammed Abu
Sammat. Both soon recovered. The
total distance Travelled from Serbia Chat
tos, in Dur. whence DIR. ochweinfurth
dates his letter, to Munsa's residence
was about seyenty-fve German 900
English miles.

Hunting Wolves for a Livelihood.

A correspondent of the Green County
Wisconsin, Repvb'icp,, says: " 1t seems
that this county has been paying the sum
of So for every wolf scalp exhibited to the
Clerk of the County Board, and the State
a similar amount, so that wolf scalp was
worth SO. This handsome bonus for
scalps caused number of men TO go into
the business of wolf hunting, and some of
them made It pay good return. They
managed something in. this wise: The
first thing was to find VOLTS retreat or
lair; then wait till breeding season, and,
when me she-wolf had borne her young, to
visit the lair. take the whelps. kill and
scalp them, present them, and get the
usual bounty on each. Sometimes man
would succeed in getting two or three lit
ters during season, with halfdozen or
more in each litter. The whole number
of the wolverines multiplied by ten would
represent the net profit of the season. S

Tested, but was preserved for future har-
vests

The Mound.Builders.

Stepping into the Office of Justice W.
W. Smith, we found quietly reposing
upon the table an ancient relic that may
Justly be considered curiosity. The
relic was sent to Mr.. Smith from East
st. Louis by his son-in-law, and consists
Of "A string of wampllm beads which were
taken out of "A mound eighteen feet un-
der the surface, placed in an Indian
grave. The mound was dug away for
the purpose of using the dirt to fill a rail
road track, and a large number of skele
tons, together with numerous trinkets,
were found inside. the bones in many
instances being sound and perfect. Two
of the skulls were found to consist of
solid bone without any sutures, and at
the forehead were fully half an inch in
thickness. The mound stood in st.
Louis long before its settlement, and
was 300 feet long, $50 feet wide and 80
feet high, built in the shape of an ellipse.
Some of the beads found were flat and
highly polished, those in the possession
of Mr.. Smith being of white, chalky
substance. They were no doubt once
worn by some chief who belonged to the
mound-building race, and their res,irrec-
ton affords ample room for conjecture.
These insignificant looking beads, now
reposing in the Office of Justice Smith,
are no doubt older than the pyamids of
Egypt. When they were worn, the
mighty mastodon stalked over the land,
the ichthyosanrus sought out whom he
might devour, and numerous ungainly
creatures long since passed away made
themselves numerous. Then there wos
no New York or Chicago, telegraph
wires and daily papers were unknown,
and the woman's rights movement had
not even beginning. 1t was-but why
moralize over those days of which these
beads are silent but eloquent witness
We confess at the outset that We are not
equal to the task, and will subside, with
the simple remark hat they are wonder
ful, and well worthy inspection by the
curiously inclined.-N r paper

AbSOrptiOn hN RnO,s Of Plants.

We have been taught by the botanies
and agricultural chemistries that the food
Of plants is taken up in soluble state by
the porous, spongy tissue at the tips OF
the roots. The peculiar structure OF
these tips has been carefully pictured
and regarded as beautiful instance OF
the adaptation of parts to their uses, of
structure to function. But all this turns
out to be mistake, and illustrates anew
the danger of reasoning in such matters
in advance of experiment. Because the
structure of these spongioles, as they are
called, resembles sponge, which sucks
up water SO greedily, the fact that they
are the true mouths of roots wa. looked
upon as settled Recent experiments,
however have shown that where these
spongioles are the only parts of roots
supplied with water, plants wlther and
die while, on the contrary, if they are
cut off, and the lower half of the root
left in water, the plant continues fresh
and vigorous. Further experiments
have shown that the seat of absorption
is in those parts of roots that are covered
with fine hairs, called root hairs. They
are mere tubular extensions of the exter-
nal root cells, and are usually invisible
without microscopic aid. 1t is to the
newer parts of roots, where these hairs
are young and active, that the soil adj
heres with remarkable tenacity =; while
the growing tips which have not yet put
forth hairs, are seen to be quite clean of
the soil when plants are pulled up by
the roots. 1t has been observed that
these absorbent hairs are more abundant
in poor than in good soils. The roots of
those plants which are destitute of hairs
have highly absorptive cuticle and nu-
mprous roOtlets

THE PINE FORESTS of Pennsylvania.
says the WillIamsport Bulletin, are rapid
ly melting away. For ten years past the
consumption of timber to supply the nu-
merous mills of Williamsport alone,
has been immense. The amount of logs
RATED out of the boom for the present
season will cut over 2l5, 100000 feet OF
boards. IT is safe To assume that 300,-
600, 900 feet are annually manufactured
at Williamsport. If We go back for ten
yeals we have the enormous aggregate of
3. 900. 900. 900 feet. That this fearful
consumption Of the raw nateiial can con-
tinue for many years is impossible Our
mountains in ten or fifteen years will he

A Brave Boy.

The Watertown n. Y. Re-mti0n has
the following account of the action of q
brave and generous boy whose name de
serves to be perpetuated by honorable
mention. He is true hero: When
the wind and storm was raging furiously
the startling cry was raised in the village
of Cape Vincent that man was afloat III
the river in the utmost peril. The snow
was driving so thickly that nothing could
be seen on the river, but the cries of the
apparently doomed man for help were
distinctly heard. There was much agi-
tation and confusion, but to launch out
in the river to attempt doubtful rescue
was perilous. But young Hinckly hear
ing the cry for help, unobserved and
undaunted, "pushed his light shell off
from shore. Blinded by the driving
snow, and tossed by the raging flood,
which taxed his utmost maritime skill
to keep righ side up, he followed the
cry OF the inperilled man, and soon
found him afloat on frail craft without
oars and helpless. on which he had yen-
tured from shore to save some barrels,
and having lost his oars, was at the
mercy of the current and waves. With
much effort and danger the imperilled d
stranger was transhipped to young
Hinckly's craft, and was brought to
shore and landed amidst the vociferious
applause of a large concourse of people
When asked how he dared to venture out
in such a storm, he replied: Il could
not bear to hear man cry for hel lp and
not help him Such daring benevolence
everywhere deserves honorable mention
