Many Languages In German Colonies.
The Germans are trying to count the
languages that are spoken in their colo
nial possessions. In east Africa they
have found fifty languages, in southwest
Africa, twelve; in Cameroons, twenty;
in Toga, five or six. These figures do
not include a large number of dialects
which are almost equivalent in some
cases to another language. The Ger.
mans have no idea yet how many Ian.
guages are spoken in their South sea
possessions, but they have thus far
counted fifty. Their missionaries and
agents are hard at work reducing the
languages which are most used to writ
ing and making dictionaries OF them. -

''It's too far away to see any stills or

just at that moment there sounded
from the fort the harsh blare Of the
trumpet used TO call the laborers from
the fields at mealtime. Looking back
the children saw a sudden flash of flame,
and a deep roar Of cannon reverberated
among the hills, The next instant the
crackle Of musketry came family from
the Merrimac; It was answered from
the fort; a blood curdhng war whoop
burst from the edge Of the clearing near
them and three Indian warriors raised
from among the stumps and came leap
ing toward theml
Almost before they could turn toward
the fort loud drum peals sounded from
the rocks at the foot of the hills. As il
in reply to the war whoops there rang
forth the wild, savage, African battle
cry. There stalked forth into the clear
ing two immense, hideous giants, ac-
companied by four strangely bedecked
creatures beating ON tomtoms and
screaming forth the battle cry Of the
Ansgari cannibals. Fearful, huge, red

black cheeks, terribly staring white
eyes, altogether diabolical faces had
these two giants, stalking stiffiy out of
the clearing Scarcely less terrifying
were the bepainted creatures with moose
horns rising above their heads. who
leaped and danced along before the
giants.
Away, with loud shrieks the children
rushed toward the fort. The Indians
halted amazed. The giants and their
attendants halted too. They had just
discovered the Indians They had
thought the firing Of the cannon salute
in honor of the day.
The Indians hesitated, and the Mum
bo Jumbos hesitated.
But one cannot stand still on stills.
The tallest of the Mumbo Jumbos stag
gered forward and one of the Indians
turned and fled. The other giant ad-
vanced, the attendants struck their
drums again, and again the horid Ans
gari war song pealed forth, and the sec.
ond Indian followed the first. The third
Indian dropped ON one knee, and before
the Mumbo Jumbos could turn he drew
q bead and sent a bullet crashing
through the wooden forehead of Sam
Quashee's mask.
The giant neither fell nor faltered,
and with a cry of terror the last Indian
rushed after his companions down the
river edge.
Slowly, as beftting their brave con-
quests and the softness Of the ground
the procession of Mumbo Jumbos passed
across the field and through the gate of
the fort where the children had just pre-
ceded them. The idols of Africa had
overcome the redskins. The rising gen

Up ON the east side Of North Seventh
street, about midway between Poplar
street and Girard avenue, stands strik-
ingly curious tree, which attracts the
attention Of every passer by. Il stands
just in front Of a stable yard, and the
employees Of the place say that dozens
Of people come TO them every week and
make remarks or ask questions about
the strange growth From the thick
ness Of the trunk at the base the tree is
probably about forty years old, but its
branches and foliage are new and fresh,
and look az though they were but the
growth Of year or two. Tho trunk
runs straight from the ground to n height
of about fifteen feet.
Above this for a short distance is a
thick. globular mass Of foliage, the
leaves appearing to grow directly out of
the wood. Above this growth run up
three thick stalks or stumps six or eight
feet high, also covered with a dense,
close mass Of foliage. When the tree is
viewed from the north side it presents a
startling resemblance to a giant human
hand protruding from the earth. The
three big stumps at the top represent
the three middle fingers, and upon
either side of these can easily be seen
confgurations of the surrounding foli-
age which correspond TO the little finger
and thumb
The explanation of the phenomenon is
a curious one. The tree was once full
grown and vigorous, but was attacked
by blight some other disease and the
dead trunk was pruned down to its pres
ent proportions, whereupon the present
new growth developed Philadelphia

rat might be made dangerous to the

crawled about, made no effort TO escape

for his rations of flesh from various ami
mails, but gradually showed the same
symptoms that marked tile condition of
my first subject, and in fourteen days
after capture he, too, was dead. The
postmortem examination of these two
cases developed tho fact that the lungs
were badly diseased. Tuberculosis had
destroyed the right lung of each and
only part of the left remained.-Dr

Major Allatt warns us against some
stories regarding long flights by trained
pigeons which have been put forth on
high authority. It was at his sugges-
tion that an apocryphal tale Of pigeons
sent out to and returning from the arctic
regions, which has even been imposed
upon Yarrell, was expunged from the
last edition of that writer's British
Birds" An equally false account Of a
pigeon flying 1900 miles in America is
also extant.
Major Allatt believes the greatest dis
tance pigeons have flown of which we
have any accurate record is in the races
which have taken place two or three
times from Rome 10 Belgium, distance
of between 800 and 900 miles. But in
every one of these cases a very large
proportion of birds have been lost.
