tells an interesting story of the way the
slip happened to come into the posses
sion of Major Johnston. In 1874 Pro
fessor Morse was experimenting with
his telegraph line from Washington to
Annapolis. and Mr.. Kirk took Major
Johnston to his room in the Capitol
Professor Morse said that he had sent a
man to Annapolis to see if he could send
a message over the wire, and while
Major Johnston was there message be-
gan to come in.
Professor Morse cut off the slip of
paper and handed it to Major Johnston,
who carefully put it away in his pocket.
The next day Professor Morse astonished
Washington by announcing an hour be-

African explorers entering the continent
from Zanzibar have been compelled to
fit out chiefly with slaves hired from
their Zanzibar masters. A few weeks
ago the British Antislavery society
issued a protest agaidst this practice and
called attention to the fact that the ex-
pedition which 81. Fl. Johnston had just
led into the country was made up Of
slaves The sultan of Zanzibar las now
issued decree forbidding the enlisting
of slaves on these expeditions. There is,

Through the Tunnel.

A railway mail clerk, who has a car to
himself, left it for moment to run for
ward and speak to the engineer as the
train stopped for water at station in
the Allegheny noun tains, just west of
the great tunnel. When the boiler was
filed and the train started he sprang for
his car
The entrance to the car was on the
side, and solitary handle offered itself
to the grasp of the passenger As the
clerk seized this hurriedly and pulled
himself uphe discovered to his horror
that the door had Jared shut, and could
not be opened from the outside.
At that moment the train shot into the
tunnel. The man shrieked for help, but
the noise of the train drowned his cries.
and with both hands grasping the han
die, his feet on the iron step and hia
body glued to the side of the car lest he
should be dashed against the Jagged
wall, he was carried into the darkness.
AS the tunnel is a mile long and the
atmosphere almost sitting, the hapless
mans predicament can be better imag-
ined than described. When the train
came out into daylight again the en-
gineer looked back. as usual, to see if
the train was following, and discovered
the mail, clerk in his perilous position
The train was stopped as quickly as
possible, and the engineer and conductor
fastened to the mans rescue. He was
all but demented, and on being assisted
to the ground fell, unconscious.
For six months afterward he was un-
der a physicians care, and when he had
recovered from the shock he said:
1.-The tunnel seemed at least ten miles
long, and my head, thought, was hol-
low. with the smoke rushing in at my
mouth and nostrils and pouring out
again through my ears. Whenever
think of its my brain reels and feel my
self crouching, just as crouched against
the outside of that car, while being drag
ged through that horrible darkness -

Two Boy. Fish for an Electric oarr.

Two Boys Fish for Electric Current.
Walter Fitze and Vetener Bailey,
boys of Houston, procured a piece of
fine wire which they threw over the wire
supporting the trolley wire on Tanning
street for the purpose of getting a shock.
The wire came in contact with the trolley
wire, and no sooner had the boys each
seized an end of their wire. when the
deadly current began to burn them, caus-
ing them to fall to the ground, the
smoke issuing from their clothing and
causing the victims to emit piteous
screams for help. Young Bailey was
badly burned. and young Fitze had his
right hand so fearfully burned that he
will probably lose all the fingers and
part of the palm of the hand mentioned.
