Electric Lights In Africa

An amusing account comes from
New Guinea relating the effect on the
natives when the steamship Nelson ex-
ercised her power. The foghorn was
blown and the electric projectors
flashed upon the village. The natives
thought the electric lights to be the
eyes of some great monster, and when
they heard the sound of the siren they
Immediately concluded that it was the
voice of the monster, and, acting un-
der this belief, numbers of them ran
away and hid in the bush in terror of
their lives.

An Oriental Manuscript.

The library of Cornell university
possesses an oriental manuscript writ
ten on palm leaves, consisting of 1875
strips or leaves, each seven by one by
a quarter inches, fastened together by
a cord passing through a hole in the
center of each leaf. The writing is
done on each side of the leaves by
etching the characters with sharp in
strument on the palm leaves, which
have been afterward rubbed over with
a black pigment.-Exchange.

FRIGHTENED TO HIS FATE.
A Story Connected with q Laconic Entry
in q Steamers Log Book.


in q Steamers Log Book.
A tragedy of the sea, full of pathos
and pointing an obvious moral, is made
known through the laconic entry in
the log book of the Brazilian mail
steamship Finance. ......
When the Finance touched at Per-
nambuco on her way to this port
colored man ran up the gangway and
begged the captain to allow him to
work his passage to New York. The
negro was SO piteous in his appeals for
a passage that the captain finally con
sented and sent him into the stoke hole
to work at passing coal.
His name was William Watney.
Ali that was known about him was
that he had been stranded in Pernam-
buco and that he belonged in or some
where near this city.
On the evening of the third day his
name was written in the log as fol-
lows:
William Watney, colored, a coal
passer, while insane, jumped over
OOdru anu was urOWueu.
The Finance was boarded at her pier
by a reporter. whose Investigations
showed that Watney had, in fact, been
driven to death. How this was done
was related to the reporter by astoker:
"We were short one man in the coal
hole" said the stoker. "Watney was
a very strong fellow, and he went at
the killing work with vim and cheer
fulness that surprised us.
He was very quiet. He had an
impediment in his speech, and very
seldom spoke unless asked question.
He bore his hardships uncomplaining-
ly, and won the admiration of the en-
gineers.
THE second day after leaving Per-
nambuco Watney was summoned on
deck by the second engineer TO sign
the ships article so that he could be
paid for his work.
"Watney signed, but hardly com.
pretended what he was doing. He
was ignorant, and he came down into
the hold again with a wondering look
on his face. Several times he shook
his head solemnly, and he seemed to
think that his signing his name to pa
per portended evil for him.
Finally one of the stokers, whose
name l don't care to mention, asked
him what was the matter.
"Watney shook his head doubtfully
and replied: 4 done sign paper on
deck. What dat for9 You knowT he
asked.
'The stoker thought he had chance
for amusement. So he cried out in
stimulated alarm: Great Scott, did
you do thata Why you've signed your
death warrant and you will be hanged
tomorrow.
"Watney never said word, but
shivered from head to foot. There was
not man who didn't feel sorry for
what our comrade had said, and we
all turned solemnly to work. Proba-
bly, our silence alarmed him still
more, for in few minutes he asked
for permission to get drink of water.
HE went on deck, looked around,
and, seeing some of the officers APP
preaching, evidently thought they in
tended securing him for the hanging.
With wild yell he rushed to the rail
and vaulted into the oceaE.
He never rose once; the ship was
stopped and every possible effort was
made to save him, but it was fruit
less. He was never seen again. =

"Chip of the Old Block"

At recent banquet bright young the
ologian told very good story on his re-
spectcd father, who is an old and tried
member of the cloth. AS is we'll known,
the theological students, before they be-
gin the formal practice of theology, are
required to preach sermon before an as
semblage of the gray-beards of the
church. who have pounded pulpit cllsh-
ions for decades. This is a most trying
ordeal for the students, and they go
through with palsied knees and quiver-
ing lip. The young thcologian in qucs-
tion was well known to the ministers of
the denomination, as his father had been
of their number for years, and, as the
old gentleman was naturally proud of his
boy, the young mans effort was listened
to with interest by all present. To tell
the truth the old gentleman was a bit
disappointed, but the young man was
drcadfully embarrassed in the presence Of
his elders, and did not do himself JUS
tice. As he walked slowly homo with
his father the old gentleman said, after Il
long pause: "Charlie, that was a regular
schoolboy essay of yours" The young
man was about to make some excuse
when one of the dominics who had been
present, walked up behind him, slapped
the boy on the back, and said: "Chariie,
you're evidently a chip of the old block"

Wasn't Taking Chances.

The bootjack is one of the implements
Of domestic welfare and warfare that has
gone out of date along with the boot, but
it is occasionally found on farms and in
small towns, where the boot is still worn,
or noisily worn still. Once in a while
the bootjack is found in a great city in
the bedroom of some old gentleman who
is not too proud to allow pair of boot
legs to wriggle his pants up to his knees.
Over on the West Side there lives one of
these old gentlemen. He is a club man
and somewhat convivial in his habits;
accordingly the bootjack is often quite a
help to him in retiring. One night last
week he returned home from the club
and was unable to find his bootjack. He
started to hunt it up, but as he noisily
encountered one chair four times he gave
up the search and sat down to pull off
his boots unaided. AS he tugged and
perspired his wife arose in bed, saw what
he was attempting, and said severely:
" Henry, why don't you use the boot
jack2" He did not want to say that he
could not find it, and like all men lie
was ready with an excuse. Martha"
he said solemnly, as he paused and wiped
the sweat from his brow, "Iwas reading
in the paper to-day of man who, while
removing his boots with bootjack, lost
his balance, fell backward, and broke
his collar bone. Martha, am taking no
more chances" Then he resumed his
task Chicago Herald.

There May Be Other Senses.

The Presid ,nt of the British Aisocia-
ton, Prof. Flower, indorses Sir John
Lubbock's idea that the field of inquiry is
limitless, and that there may be fifty
other senses as different from OUTS as
sound is from sight and even within
the boundaries of our own senses there
may be endless sounds which We cannot
hear, and colors as different as rec from
green of which we have no conception.
These and thousand other questions
remain for solution. The familiar world
which surrounds lis may be totally
different place to other animals. To
them it may be full of music which we
cannot hear, of color which VIC cannot
see, of sensations which we cannot con-
ceive."
