She In Living All Alone, Teaching this
Natives and Supporting Herself.
In this place, one of the most uncivil-
zed parts of West Africa, an American
lady is living without white COM
panions, instructing the natives and
,heerfully performing all the duties
that devolve upon her as a missionary.
She is Miss Martha Kah, of Cheyenne
Co3nty, Neb., and she is the only repre-
sentative left of the missionary party
established here by Bishop William
Taylor. Several men were in the party
when it came to Africa, but the trying
,limate proved too much for them. The
superintendent of the station, Mr..
Steele, was compelled by ill-health to
return to America last year, and then
Mr.. Sortore, of Missouri, and Miss Kah
were all who were left. In April last
Mr.. Sortore died of African fever, and
Miss Kah is now alone, and she is far
too busy to be greatly disheartened by
the sad events that have robbed her Of
all her comrades.
She superintended the housekeeping
while the others were with her, and
now she is obliged, in addition, to keep
the school going and direct the labors
on the plantation. She teaches school
five days every week, if not prevented
by sickness. The plantation was opened
by Mr.. Sortore, and on it is raised con.
siderable manioc, bananas and cocoa.

LATER
Death Of Sen tor Book.

WASHINGTON, May 3.-Senator James
B. Beck dropped dead in the Baltimore
& Potomac station to-day. He had just
arrived from New York, and was ac-
companied by his daughter, Mrs. Good
loe, wife Of Maj. Goodloe, of the United
States marine corps. He got off the
train with the rest of the passengers
and walked with his daughter the en-
tire length of the platform anix through
the gate leading to the station proper.
After passing into the station the sena-
tor and his daughter stopped and were
joined by his private secretary, who had
brought carriage to take them home.
A few words were exchanged with re-
gard to the care of baggage, when the
senator suddenly turned pale, and, with
the remark II feel dizzy" fell into the
arms of his companions. Physicians
were summoned but the Senator was
dead before they arrived. Heart dis
ease was the cause of death.
James B. Beck was q native of Scot
land, having been born at Dumfries-
shire on the 18th of February, 1922. Fe
received an academic education in Scot
land, and was graduated as lawyer at
Transylvania university, Lexington,
Ky., in March, 1916. Mr.. Beck contin-
ued to reside in that city, where he de-
voted himself to the practice of his pro-
fcssion. He never held Office until
elected, in 1866, to the Fortieth con-
gress from the Seventh district of Ken
lucky by majority of 1864. He rep
resented this district four terms and in
1877, was elected to the U. s. Senate,
which position he held until his death.
The great demonstration Of the labor
ing classes for shorter hours took place
in London, England on May 4th. The
most moderate estimate of the number
of people taking part in the meetings is
100000, Of which 100000 came in the
procession and 900, 900 gathered at will.
This is . very conservative calculation,
however, and some observers accus.
toned to gauge large crowds do not hes
itate 20 assert that fully 1000, 600 peo-
pie participated in the demonstration.
There were $50 bands of music in the
procession. Everything was quiet and

Season Advances.
Especial New York Correspondence
Generally speaking, the toilets and
costumes this season repeat in cut, out
line and effect, the modes of the past
winter. There is one change noticeable
that is certainly not for the better, and
that is the very perceptible lengthen-
ing of the skirts of street gowns. 1t is
to be fervently hoped that we are not
drifting back into the untidy and un-
healthy fashion of street sweeping, but
it looks very much like it when we are
told that among certain Partisan lead
ers of fashion, not a few demi-trained
dresses are being adopted, which. upon
the promenade are caught up in one
hand az they were when this fashion
was so universal a few years ago.
At present, however, the popular
street skirtS are lust a graceful length

A Gigantic squid.

On the little strand at Dugort, in
Achill Island, on the west coast of Mayo,
Ireland, now lie the remains of one of
the most curious creatures, perhaps, to
be met with in all the animal creation,
says the London Standard. It was
stranded for months on one of the out
lying reefs at the entrance to Blacksod
Bay, where the villagers took it to be the
carcass of a large whale. 1t was after
ward carried on the Achill strand by the
late gale. This large sea monster is
mono other than the gigantic squid or
king cuttlefsh, and Is rarely seen on our
shores. To what species Of the nmmes-
Trophies it belongs will ever remain un-
known, as it was too far gone in decay
and was shorn of all beauty. The suck
ers and horny rings had fallen off long
before it reached the strand, and the
parrot-hke, horny beaB, which is pecu-
liar to this animal, was also missing.
The animal, though shrunk and distorted,
measured as follows: Length of tentacles
or long arms, thirty feet; circum-
ference of body, including ehort arms,
sixty feet; circumference of tentacles in
some places, four feet. I know of only
four instances of the appearance of this
strange monster in British waters. A
very faint idea can be gathered from
what is preserved in thu museums of this
curious creature, IS it shrivels away al
most to nothing, except a large cartilage
pen which runs across the body and
branches off to the short arms. It would
take vessel as large as the hull of the
Great Eastern filed with spirits to show
off the animal for exhibition. Curious
tales are often told by mariners about
this sea monster. 1t enormous arms or
tentacles are armed with formidable
suckers and horny rings, which are set
with small teeth, pointing inward. These
long arms, seventy feet in length when
outstretched, as they float about in the
ocean may have given rise to the story of
the sea serpent.

the bears. There are ten bears in the
big, iron-barred pit. There are two Po-
lar bears, grizzly or two, and several
brown and black bears. The Polars are
separated by dividing iron fence from
their darker cousins, as a closer relation
ship would probably lead to a strife, in
which the Artics would come out VIC
torious. The Polar bears are frightfully
powerful, and have tempers that require
little to infsme. The bear food costs the
park $3.50 day in addition to the odds
and er.ds furnished by the curious visitors
moved to generosity by the sign "Do not
feed the animals" The regulation diet
consists of forty loves of bread, weighing
ninety pounds. When this is tossed into
the pit there is a scramble, a w1estle and
a hustling, and the strongest bear gets
the largest share. This bread is stale and
consequently hard. The bear is clumsy
in body but agile in intellect. He does
not relish hard bread crust any more than
man Goes. Therefore when he gets a loaf
more Than ordinarily hard he takes it to
the wlter basin in one corner Of his cage
and dips it in the water until it is soft
enough not to do injury to his teeth.

Force Expended in Climbing a Hin.

The physical energy or force sometimes
exerted by the human body under certain
conditions is known to be astounding,
but no one has ever taken the trouble to
put before US that force in figures. DIR.
]. Buchheister has now made a most In
teresting calculation on the ework done'
by mountaineers in ascending heights,
which will serve as an illustration. Sup
posing weighing 16S pounds
is making the ascent of a summit 1000
feet high from the point of starting, he
has to expend an amount of physical force
by multiplying his weight by the height to
be assembled. In the case assumed a
weight of 1853 pounds multiplied by a
height of 1000 feet equals 1,176, 600
foot-pounds; or, in other words, 1, 49,
900 pounds have to be lifted 1 foot.
This is work performed merely by the
muscles of the legs; but, besides this,
the contractions of the muscle of the
heart have to be taken into account. Its
function consists, as is well known, in
propelling the blood collecting in the
heart, on the one hand, into the arteries,
and, on the other, into the lungs. This
is effected at an initial velocity of Il feet
per second, which represents in the case
of an adult work of foot-pounds for
each contraction of the heart. The pull
sations of an adult are on the average 70
per minute, but in ascending heights,
owing to the additional exertion, their
number is increased to an extraordinary
extent.
Assuming, for the sake of simplicity in
calculation, only 100 beats of the pulse
per minute. this would give 400 foot
pounds per minute, "a, 600 foot pounds
per hour and 100, 600 foot-pounds for
the five hours supposed to be required in
ascending a height of 1000 feet. The
work performed by the muscles in
breathing, by the expansion and contrac-
ton OF the chest, may also be estimated
at four foot-pounds Assuming, further,
that the number of breathings per min
ute is on the average only twenty-five,
although, as a matter of fact, it will be
found to be higher in a mountain ascent
lasting five hours, we have to add fur
ther work OF 81, OOe foot-pounds.
The total work performed during FIVE
hours by a mountaineer consequently
amounts to 1926, 600 foot-pounds. In
this estimate are not included the physi-
cal force spent in overcoming the fric-
ton on the ground, the exertions to be
made in keeping the body erect at dizzy
heights and in dragging heavy boots and
foot-irons, nor the loss of muscle power
in cutting steps in the ice, not to reckon
the work performed in carrying an ice
axe, or the physical force exerted in
crossing fresh, loose snow. Taking all
these conditions into account, DR.. Bueh-
hester arrives at the conclusion that the
WORK done in an ascent of 1000 feet,
lasting FIVE hours, cannot be placed at
ess-t5an 1, $50, 600 foot-pounds.-Lron.

GOULD WE Know
Could we Int glance the future Ger
Its hidd,H depths unyeil;.
Look ON lie blessings safe in store,
Whose hercies never fail.
Could we but see the happiness
Each new year seeks to give,
Our daily lives TO cheer and bless
How gladly would we live
Could we behold the grief and care,
The painful weary strife,
Allotted as our rightful share
In each new year Oflife.
Could we anticipate the thOrns
That in our pathway lie,
Before another day could dawn
How gladly would we diel
Yet innocent Of each we grope
With blind persistence on,
Upheld by patient faith and hope
Each daily strife is won.
A futures burdens uneoncealed,
Our Utmost hearts benumb,
While sorrows one by one revealed
Are conquered as they come.

Mileage of Locomotives.

Says a railroad man: ga passenger
engine averages sixty pounds of coal to
the mile, and travels about Sc, 600 miles
per year, while a freight engine averages
ninety pounds of coal to the mile and
makes about 43, 00O miles per year, while
yard engines burn less. Freight engines
travel much slower than passengers and
therefore burn more coal per mile. The
largest mileage made in 1888 by pas
senger engine was 81, 900 miles, and by a
freight engine 50, 900 miles"

no change in its appearance since.
