ANIMALS BECOMING EXTINCT.

An africa elephants and Giraffes Are
Becoming Rapidly Extermimated.
An article by Mr. Dryden in the last
proceedings of the British Geological So
ciety saws the days of the giraffe are
numbered. A few years ago herds of
10 or 80 OF them were often met in var
ious parts of Africa. Dryden saws that
~ giraffes are now large herd. They
have been hunted SO mercilessly, both bv
natives and foreign sportsmen, that they
are rapidly becoming extinct.
The intelligent African king, Khama.
has, however, taken the giraffe under his
protection and hopes to save it from ex.
termination. He has forbidden the hunt.
ing of the giraffe in his large domain, and
i'll this way he HOPES they will multiply
i'll his country. 1t is an interesting fact
that Russia has preserved the European
bison from extinction by setting apart a
forest OF Lithutania for them and per.
uniting no one to modest them
Recent explorers in Southwest Africa
say that the fauna has changed greatly
during the last 30 or 40 years. DR..

plored are no longer to be found in anv
part OF Southwest Africa on account OF
their ceaseless slaughter by European
hunters, as well as by the natives since
the latter have possessed breech-loading
guns.
The most important among these ami
mails, the elephant, has wholly disap-
peared from this part of Africa, except
in the neighborhood of Lake Ngami.
Anderson, one Of the early explorers
OF this region, said that 1900 pounds Of
ivory could be bought at Lake Ngami for
musket According to Livingstone, in
three years not less than 900 elephants
were killed near the little Tonga River
alone. How much their number has
diminished is shown by the present very
small ivory export from Walfish Bay,
which amounts to about 800 pounds
per annum, while in 1875 it was as high
as $1,000 pounds. The various kinds of
animals would doubtless increase again
if some protective measures were taken
in their behalf, but there are not many
khamas among the important men of
Africa who have sufficient foresight to
endeavor, in the interests of their own
people, to prevent the determination OF
these valuable animals. -Rural Collabor.

THE JAPANESE WAITRESS.

a Vision OF perfection That seems TO
Americans Impossible.
The Japanese waitress is evidently a
creature full of kindliness and winning
graces. Sir Edwin Arnold met her at a
dinner in Japan, where she contributed
greatly by her tact and courtesy to the
success of the occasion To each guest
there entered pretty, bright, we'll
dressed japanese waitress with hair
decked "to the mines, stuck full of flow
ers and jeweled pins aud shining like
polished black marble.
She never speaks or settles to any seri-
Gus duty of the entertainment without
falling on her little knees, smoothing her
skirt over them and knocking her nice
little fat nose on the floor, and will either
demurely watch you use your chOpsticks
in respectful silence, or prettily converse
and even offer her advice as to the most
succulent dishes, and the best order in
which to do them justice.
1t is not very difficult to use the chop
sticks, those simple knives and forks Of
Eastern Asia. if once you learn the secret
of the guiding finger between them.
Otherwise you will drop the first mouth
full from the soup bowl on your shirt
front, to the gentle, but nevertheless
satirical laughter of your waitress.
Amid the talk which buzzes around
you will have inquired of her already,
"What is your honorable manner" and
"How many are your honorable years."
md she will have told you that she is
Miss Starr, Miss Camilla" or Miss
Antelope" and that she was 19 or other
wise on her last birthday.
She counsels you to seize that tiny
lump of yellow condiment with your
chopstirks, to drop it in the soy, to stir
up and flavor these with the pink flakes
of salmon, and you get on famously,
watched by her with the warmest per-
6onal interest.
Now and again she shuffles forward on
her small knees to fill your cup or to rear
range the confusion into which your lit
tie bowls and platters have somehow
fallen, always with consummate grace,
modesty and good breeding. With the
condiments her little fingers have mixed,
the uncooked trout is so good that you
cease presently to feel like yoracious
seal, and wonder if it be not wrong, after
all to boil or fry anything.
Environed by all these tiny dishes, and
lightly fluttering from one to another,
you begin at last to be conscious of hav-
ing dined extraordinarily well. So you
say, mo yorcshi"Gt is enough), and the
service relapses a little for music and
dancing.-Youth's Companion.

A New War Monster.


The House committee on naval affairs
has for some days had under considera.
ton bill looking to the addition to the
navy of naval craft, which if the asser-
tons of its designers are realized. will
revolutionize the present practice of har.
Dor defense.
The vessel is to be known as the Der.
dan ironclad destroyer. 1t is to be 26O
feet in length by 40 feet in breadth
and 10 feet draft, giving a displace-
ment of a,4OO tons, with speed of twenty
knots per hour. The feature of the de-
sign is found in an enormous submarine
gun carried at the bow below the water
line. According to the design submitted
to the committee and explained by Gen.
eral Berdan, a hydraulic buffer project.

adjusted that it will stop the boat at
distance Of eight feet from the enemy's
ship without injury to the boat.
At this short range the buffer automat.

rectly at the hull of the ship, and lodges
within it a shell carrying a bursting
charge of $50 pounds of powder, suffi.
cient to blow down every bulkhead in the
ship and wreck the bottom.

official figures showing the number of
sheep in the country, by which the clip
OF 1892 can be forecast with some exact

A Wonderful Gum

The new Brown wire gun, tested by q
Government board at Birdsboro.- Pa,
proved wonderful success. A pressure
OF more than $3.50 pounds to the
square inch was obtained in the cylinder
made to represent the powder chamber
OF the gun. This is above double the
pressure OF an ordinary steel gun. The
Brown gun consists of twelve segments
OF steel, bound together by thirty-one
layers of wire wrapped around it, and
with an inner lining of steel. 1t is
claimed that it will revolutionize heavy

"Some kind of metal cast in iron is
the only thing TO be used unless 1t is
cast In bronze and the latter is too ex-
pensive, although. 1t would be cheaper
in the long run, for the signs cast in
iron would necessarily have to be re-
painted at least once every two years,

The members of the Mission Athletic
club at the last meeting decided to build
a building somewhere in the city that
would cost about SOS, 900, which would be
owned by a stock company.
Mr.. VIM. Weiss has greatly interested
himself in the clubs behalf and has
written to Mr. w. w. Porter, president of
the Denver and San Antonio Investment
company. who have South Heights in
their hands, asking him if he will give
about four acres to the club to
build their building on the Heights.
He told reporter that as Mr.. Porter
was always willing to help anything
along that he could. He felt sure that
the reply would be favorable for the
club. Mr.. Weiss says he intends doing
all in his power towards forwarding the
scheme and that there IS no reason why
il should not be "howling" success.
If the club can arrange things as they
wish to it will be almost a rival Of the
Olympic of New Orleans in a few years.
