WHEN Father Mollinger, the famous faith

Troy Hill, near PittsLurg, it was rumored
that hs had acquired wealth amounting to

alleged that there is very little property IN

almost nothing ~ i'll be left when his deItS

ROASTED TO DEATH.
Fortv-Nine Russian Recruits Lose Their
Lives on a Burning Train.

Amost pecu liar ard fatal railway acci
dent accurred on the line between SlatousS
and Samara. A train com: osed OF seVelai
cars fl led with recruits was running from
slatousk 10 Sarara when flames burst from
the foremost car. The train was goi1g at
full speed and the tongues Of fire swept BACK
ward and in a few minutes all the cars were
blaz 'ng.
The engineer, for some unaccountabie
reason, did not stop the train until ne hau
run a consid .rable distance. In the mean
time there was a sce1e of indescribabie con-
fusion in the cars. The recruits, or at least
as many of them as could do so, leaped from
the windows and doors. Some OF them iand-
cd uniniured in the heavy snowb MS, wnlie
others who landed in the cleared track were
killed. ,Lo
Those who we're unable to get out OF Inc
cars were burned to death, for the tram was
entirely consumed Some of the men were
terribly burned before thy jumped; nen
the confusion had somewhat subslded, tne
off er IN charge of the recruits, VINO sayeo ,ts,
himself b. jumping, chilled the ron ot ns
we're deal and twenty terribly Durneo al"
otherwise injured. ..o
II is supposed that some OF the men IN tne
forward car were sky larking and upset tne
stoye. The draft caused by the on, uSnins
Irain caused the flames TO spread Win grea'
rapidity that n thing could be done TO e1tin'
orish them. 1t is claimed that the engineer
was guilty of criminal negligence in rot stop
ntng the train as soon as he saw the fire.

Hirl's Eye View of DahOmey,

Although previously but little known
to outsiders, Dahomey has been brought
bv le recent French invasion into the
light of the worlds attention. 1t will,
therefore, be timely to call to mind some
of the more important features OF this
African State, few of which are here
gwen:
"Dahomey, situated on the western
coast of Africa, comprises an area OF 4OOO
square miles, aud reaches from the Yor.
uba States on the east to Ashanti on the
western boundary, which is marked by
the river Volta. On the north lies the
Wangera territory. Oace the largest and
most powerful kingdom on the slave
coast, it has been greatly reduced by
long and disastrous wars with neighbor-
ing States. Its population is estimated
at $50. 900. The capital is Abomey, in
the interior, and its seaport is WhJdah,
seventy miles away.
"The monarchy, founded carly in the
Seventeenth Century, is OF an absolute
type, Ming DenaoHin 'i"inS'
sides ordinary soldiery, the now famous
BODY guard of 5000 Amazons, or female
troops, who are we'll disciplined and
formidable warriors. The natives, VINO
are fetish worshipers and of pure Afri-
can blood, are industrious farmers, pro-
ducing and exporting maize, cattle,
ivory, India rubber and the best palm
oil made in Upper Guinea. The hostlll'
ties with France first began in 1891,
arising from the disputed stations, on the
South coast, of Porto Novo and Kotonu.
A peace was concluded in October Of
that year, but lasted only until this sum-
mer."
In spite of their extreme barbarism the
DahomeyaDs were found by the French
to possess the arms of modern warfare.
They have been accustomed to practice
cruel outrages upon travellers and mis-
sionaries in the past, and their subJuga'
ton by France, after a most stubborn
resistance, is matter of congratulatlon
to the civilized world. Mail and Ex'

MaryeIs of ShOemaklng.

The Boston Globe says that in pais
of fine shoes there are two sewed pieces,
two inner soles, two stiffenings, two
pieces Of steel to give spring to the in
step, two rands, twelve heel pieces, two
sole Innings, twenty upper pieces, thirty
tacks, twelve nails in the heels and
twenty buttons, to say nothing of thread,
both silk and flax, but the wonder is
found in the rapidity with which these
multitudinous pieces are combined in a
single completed work, for, as an exper.
iment, some shoe factories have from
the leather completed pair of shoes in
less than an hour and half, and, as a
test, single pair of mems shoes have
been 6QisAsd IN tWepty minutes. ~ =.

Phctographing Vowel Sounds.

At the recent international Congress Of
Physiology at Liege, Professor Herman
demonstrated his method of photograph
ing the sound of vowels. The voweis
were sung out before one of Edison's
Photographs. Immediately afterward
they we're reproduced very slowly, and
the vibrations recorded by II microphone.
The latter was furnished with mirror,
which reflected the light OF an electric
lamp upon a registering cylinder, covered
with sensitized paper and protected by
another cylinder with small opening
which gave passage to the rays OF light
from the reflector. BY this means was
obtained very distinct Photographic
traces, and the constancy was remark
able for the different letters. New YORK

Tracing the Name "Chps'."

The word "chess" is said to be a cor
ruption of the Arabic WORD "sheikh," "
meaning chief or king. The game came
westward by way of Persia, where the
word sheikh became shah. 1t was the
game of the king. The term "check'
is merely to give notice that the king is
attacked, and "checkmate" means 'the
king is dead;" the verb mata being from
the same root as the Spanish matador, the
SLAYER of the bull. The word check.
whether verb or noun, may be traced
through several curious ramifcations
hack to the Persian and Arabic. Even
the word exchequer is curiously tangled
up in this verbal network. .-Churchmau.
