Russia Iron.

Probably the only secret process which has been kept inviolate, and for ages openly defied the world of science, is the iron trade of Russia. The secret of making Russian sheet iron is owned by the Government, and is such an immense monopoly that 1t is currently supposed to defray the entire expenses of the Government. The works con stitute an entire city, isolated and forti- fled against the rest of the world. When workman enters the service, he bids last farewell to his family and friends, and is practically lost to the rest of the world. He is never heard from afterward, and whether he lives or dies, all trace of him is forever lost. There have been several des- perate attempts made to steal or betray the secret, but in every instance it has resulted in the death of the would-be traitor. In one case a letter attached to a kite, which was allowed to escape, was picked up by some peasants, and, despite their protestations that they could not read, they were at once put to death by the guards to whom they delivered the letter, and it was after ward decreed that the guards them selves should pass the remainder of their days within the works The wonderful properties of this iron are so well known that 1t is unnecessary to enlarge upon them.

The Hartford Courant remarks The adjutant-generals office at the capitol has been connected with the room of the quartermaster-general on the third floor by means of Hall short distance telephone line. The wire employed is composed of six strands of steel, wound around cord covered with preparation of paraffine, which prevents induction. No battery is required, and the voice of a person standing in the room at a distance oi twenty feet from the instrument can be distinctly heard at the other end of the line. By means of this remark able invention the adjutant-general and his associates can carry on a con- versation with those connected with the other departments without leaving their desks. Thenew telephones have been used win great success in other cities. The limit is five miles, but the inventor hopes to exceed this in tho near future

FETlSHiSM IN AFRICA.
The Terrible and Unlimited Power Com.
mitted TO the Fetish Man.

| The Terrible and Unlimited Power Com.
United TO the Fetish Man.
so universal is this belief that al
most every village of pagan Africa,
particularly toward the West coast,
has its fetish house, a grim and ghast-
ly. building. often ranged round with
human skulls in every stage of decom-
position. and fetish man, who is it's
high priest. No human being, surely,
ever had more terrible power COM
mltted to him. and few have used it
more unsparingly OF unscrupulously.
The fetish man is bound by no law;
he recognizes no rules of evidence.
Any thing which happens even in the
most ordinary course of nature, he
may pronounce to be the work of a
fetish. or a wizard. and to need his as
sistance to ferret it out.
A heavy rainfall or q drought, a
murrain among the cattle, pestilence
or confiagration, a child devoured by
wild animal, an illness or death,
each and all of these may be pro-
nounced to be '.fetish'' somebody
has done it. and he must be detected.
Sc. possessed are the natives by this
belief, it SO forms part of their being
that it never occurs to any one Of
them. though he knows that his own
turn may come next to question the
reality of this uncanny power; and. in
the panic terror which waits upon the
movements of the fetish man and his
decisions. the negro loses. for time,
some OF his most essential and anna
BILE characteristics, his frivolity, his
light-heartedness. even his family af-
lection. A son will join in putting
his father to death; a brother will
help to tear in pieces brother
II the accused dares to deny the
charge-which he seldo m does, how
ever prepesterous or impossible it
may be-he has to submit to some ter
rible ordeal. such as the running at
full speed under an avenue Of hooped
arches about half his height when. If
he stumbles, or rather as soon as he
STUN les he 10 kicked to death; or the
drinking Of some deadly decoction.
such as the casca bark, when his one
chance Of escape is handsomely to
bride the fetish man to give him the
exact quantity or quality which will
make him desperately sick before the
poison has well begun its deadly
work. In Ashantee and Dehomy, at
Benny and Calabar. in the Fan coun-
try and throughout Angola, this ter
rible belief prevails, and. as may
we II be imagined. it ramifies out into
every kind OF villiany and crime. -
