ters of the upper Congo. They had
been conveyed in pieces of sixty pounds
weight, or hauled on wagons past the
cataracts after an enormous expendi-
ture of money and labor. But now
that the new state was fairly launched
into existence, it was necessary to in
crease the fotilla, and provide means
commensurate with the long list of du-
ties which it had accepted. The revenue
which hitherto had solely been the
bounty OF King Leopold was increased
shipments from the Congo. King Leo
pold also guaranteed the continuation
of his bounty to the year 1900 of
$40, 900 annually. Belgium granted
the annual subsidy of ESQ, 900.
From all sources there was an assured
revenue of about $50, 900. The govern
ment, mission societies, and mercantile
companies fastened to provide means
for the utilization of the long stretches
of navigable water a bove the cataracts-
Steamer after steamer. boat after boat,
have been sent up, until now on the
waters of the upper river there are
over 30 steamers and 40 steel boats.
The banks of the main river are now
free from danger of invasion, even
were all the numerous bands and
slavers south of the equator united
in array against the state.
The banks of the great tributaries,
Aruwimi, Welle-Mobangi, Lumami.
and Kassai, are equally protected
against the incursions of the destroy
ing bands But though the efforts
OF the young state, after strain
ing its resources to the ut
most, have been marked by signal
and unexpected success, great deal
more has to be accomplished before it
can proclaim that the slave hunts and
ivory raids have altogether ceased.
Wheresoevere exploration has revealed
q slave-hunter's route, wherever the
pioneer has indicated the objective OF
the raider, wherever it has been sup
posed danger might arise from north
ern or eastern Arab, the state has done
it's best to put barrier in the shape of
q military station: but there is an ex-
tent of country 500 miles in length be-
tween the sources of the Aruwimi and
the Lulzuga affluent, and an area of
1000 square miles, wholly at the
mercy of the Arabs of the east coast,
and southwestern Tanganika and Rua
are not vet under surveillance. Henry

THOUGHT IT WAS A GHOST
A Bodv-SnatchinS Surgeon FriGhtens IN
Ancient Mariner.

A Body-$nAtchfnS Surgeon frfG0tens IN
Ancient Mariner.
Sir Richard Owen used to relate re-
markable ghost story. In his early
days, when he held the pos. of surgeon
to the prison of Lancaster. a negro
died in the Jail an post-mortem as
well as an inquest was necessary.
After the inquest, the young surgeon
saw the body put in the coffin and the
lid screwed down. to be ready for the
funeral next day.
Owen had at the time been already
attracted to the study of comparative
anatomy. and negroes heads were not
plentiful; so he made up his mind
that this one should not be lost
to the cause of science. In the even
ing he returned to the prison with q
black bag containing a brick; from his
official position he had no difficulty in
getting admittance to the mortuary,
where the coffin lid was unscrewed and
screwed down again.
During this process the brick and tho
negro's head changed places. The
ground outside the principal entrance
to the Jail had considerable descent,
and the time being winter. with snow
and frost, Owen had scarcely passed
out when he slipped and fell all his
length. the bag went from his hand
and the head tumbled out and rolled
down the paved way. He jumped up,
cought the bag and. following the head,
clutched it just as it finished its career
in a small shop where tobacco was
sold.
Pushing it into the bag again he van-
ished out of the shop with all the speed
he was capable of.
Next morning when Owen was going
to his usual duties at the prison he was
called in by the woman in the shop
where the accident had occurred the
previous evening. She wished him TO
see her husband, who was very i'll. He
had had, she said, fright the night
before that caused him to look wild
and dazzled like. The man, ii turned
out, was a retired sea captain who had
seen many adventures among the West
India islands, when many deeds were
done that did not at the that time re.
quire to be accounted for.
Among these had been the. killing OF
negro, in which he had had a hand,
and the transaction had left touch Of
trouble on his conscience.
After giving these details the old
captain told of the horrible event that
took place the night before. He was
sitting in his shop, all was quiet and
it so CHANGED that he had been think
ing of the negro. when suddenly he
saw his very head roll into the shop in
front of the counter, and it was fol-
lowed by the devil all in black. with a
black bag in his hand. The devil
snatched up the head, and both disap-
peared through the earth like a fash of
lightning. The description was per-
haps not quite complimentary to tho
young anatomist, but it was satisfac-
tory so far that it showed that his
identity had not been recognized.

ephone line between Livingston and Mis-
soula. The start will be made at Living
ston and the limo will follow the wagon
road. in some cases, and in others the rail-
road. 1t will not be completed until late in
thu winte and probably not for a year,
and it is expected to arrive in Helena in No
vember. 1t will be one of the best cou-
structcd long distance lines in tho north
west. First-class cedar poles from Idaho
will be used and the metallic or two wire
circuit. Unlike the ordinary long distance
lines copper wire will be strung on cross
arms. Tho new line will be as complete as

with the metallic circuit and the lntest long
distance trarsmitteIs. subscribers will be
able to hear as wellf rom one end OF the line

Sommer5 Is now on the east end of the
line, selecting a party of thirty-tiv men to
do the work. The party will have five
tents. n couple of wagons for supplios, two

rect from Livingston to Helena via Boze-
man and other towns, thence to Deer
