Met Hts Fate in the Country Of
the Manyemaa
The Explorer and His Nobian Guard
Slaughtered and Devoured by Ma
tives-Story OF the Tragedy
Told by Missionary.

ALI doubts that have prevailed as ~
the fate of Emin Pasha, the noted
African explorer, are set at rest by in
formation through A. j. Swami. who
for ten years has been engaged in mis-
sionary work at Ujiji, and who is now
in London.
"There is no question as to his
DEATH" said Mr.. Swami. 81 am as
certain that he is dead as that am
sitting here. In February a letter
came to me while was at Ujiji asking
what should be done with Emin's eff
fects. This inquiry naturally prompted
me to make investigations. I did so,
and the result was the information
which is authentic to the effect that
Jacob Schnitzer, or Emin Pasha. IS be
was better known, had been killed by
native chief in the Manyema coun-
try. This was sufficiently startling in
formation, but it was not the worst,
nor the most startling. I ascertained
that Emin's guard Of thirty Nubian
warriors had not only been slaught-
cred, but they had subsequently been
eaten by the cannibaiistic natives who
had overcome the expedition.
The report was most circumstan-
tial," Mr.. Swami continued, ''and later
confirmation of the facts reached me
from four different sources The kill
ing of Emin and his party greatly
pleased the Arabs, who rejoice in be-
ing rid of his presence. The explorer
was tracked day in and day out by the
hostile tribes who had long deter
mined to make the little band victims
to the hatred they feel for all intruders
''Emin had already traversed the
Ruanda country, following a river
which flows into the Congo. The ex-
petition came finally to the home Of
an Arab chief known as Seydbinabe
where he paused in his journey. Soon
after the arrival there q number Of
Arabs appeared. and seeking out the
traveller asked him where he intended
going. we propose going to the
coast, replied Emin Pasha. Meanwhile
the Arab band had gathered closer and

clearly critical. The implacat.e

81 propose togo on to the coast re-
peated Emin, and then came the be-
ginning of the end. Out from among
the black and crowding ranks of the
hostiles a giant fellow moved forward
toward Emin. Lifting up his voice
the towering Arab drew and fourished
huge and curved knife: and as he
advanced, he shouted these words:
1t is you, Enin, who killed our fellow
Arabs at Victoria Nyanza, and so 1 kill
you
LAS he spoke he swung the great
scimetar-like knife, with its edge
toward and on level with Emin's
neck. The stroke fell upon Emin's
neck, partially from behind, and in
another instant his head. severed by
the sweeping stroke of the knife, fell
to the earth, while the crowding
throng Of Arabs set up cries of fero-
cious delight.
'Emin's head and body were thrown
to the Manyema natives, and both
were ruthlessly eaten by them"

Weight of Stationary Engines.

Ordinary stationary engines weigh,
with their boilers from 500 to 1000
pounds per indicated horse power;
modern locomotives, 40 pounds; ma

$50 pounds; engines in the British
navy, $50 pounds; light launch engines

only so pounds. For aerorautical pur-
poses an engine is said to have been
built which, while developing horse
power, weighed only 10 pounds. These
weights. while including the boiler, do
not include water and fuel. These
