Fire Easily Obtained.

The average civilized man would be hard put to it if he were compelled to start fire without matches, finder box or burning glass. But Lieutenant von Hohnel describes an African chief as not only accomplishing this feat. but doing it with quickness and ease The traveller had asked him to show his skill.
 It was really wonderful in view of the moisture laden atmosphere, with what rapidity he did as had requested.
 The materials employed were such as we saw wherever we went-two simple bits of wood, one flat about six inches long and not quite an inch wide, with row of grooves on one side, the other about 12 inches long and of the thick ness and shape of lead pencil.
 The longer piece, fixed in one of the grooves of the shorter piece, was held tightly between the palms of the hand and whirled rapidly round and round. In few seconds the wood dust which was produced by the friction, and which fell through the grooves, began to smoke. This dust was carefully nursed into a blaze, which was fed with fine grass and bits of cotton stuff. a
 The whole thing is done so quickly that our men. even the lazy Wasungu, always employed this method OH short halts for lighting their pipes. " Youth's Companion

DIVERS DID THE CLEANING.
How the Baltimore Got Rid of Her Bai
 nacies Without Docking.

How the Baltimore Got Rid of Her Bar
 nacies Without Docking.
 A United States cruiser in active serv- ice requires almost as much furnishing to keep her trim as does a silk hat It isn't the brasses and metal work around her decks that cause the chief anxiety. It is her bottom. That fouls, particular ly in southern seas, and it is necessary to dock her and clean away the barna- cles
 But docks are not always at hand. Lieutenant Commander Sebree, in dis cussing this question i'll the United States Naval institute, described for the first time tho scheme worked by the United States ship Baltimore during the Chilean trouble. She was not dooked for L months, and during eight months of that time she was in Chilean and Peruvian waters. The Baltimore after being docked at Toulon, France, in Feb ruary, 1891, sailed for Chile. Within Chile she began to lose speed on account of foul bottom.
 There were i'll the crew two seamen gunners, who had qualified as divers in the torpedo school at Newport, besides Peter Hanley, the gunner, who had also taken the course. It was decided to clean the bottom of the Baltimore by sending down divers. An iron ladder was let down from launch alongside the Baltimore, and for use under the ship wide Jacobs ladder was made on board. WI ile cleaning the bottom the diver was always on this ladder, be- tween it and the ship. He would stand, sit or lie down on the ladder. as hap pened to be most convenient.
 The divers used scrapers made of hard wood ill the shape of 9 broad ohisel. They were about 1 inches wide and 8 inches long, with the handle end round ed down. The diver chose the man who attended to the life line. Besides this man who attended the line four other men were in the launch. Two of them worked the pumps, and the other two attended to the bow and stern lines of the launch. The divers were limited to five hours work day, and they got $1 an hour in addition to their regular pay.
 The time taken to clean the bottom once and to clean one-third of it a sec- ond time was two months. The work was done under adverse circumstances in the harbor of Valparaiso, where fre- quently sea would stop the work.
 The barnaoles on the bottom of the Baltimore the first time she was cleaned averaged 2A inches in length. Some of them were more than inches long. They were often in clusters, so that they extended six inches or more from the ships bottom
 After the bottom was cleaned the gunner made an inspection and reported that the cleaning was we'll done Lieu tenant Commander Sebree says that, in his opinion, a vessel can be kept prac- tically clean and suffer no serious loss of speed for at least year by the use of her divers at cost of $500 for labor and about $500 for the pump

INDEPENDENCE OF HUNGARY.
Franz Rossuth win Try and Work Out
 His Fathers Aim.

LONDON, Nov. 1.-Dispatches from Bucharest give picturesque account of the reception there of Franz Kossuth, the eldest son of the late Hungarian pa- triot, Mir. Kossuth, some time ago, ex- pressed the intention of renouncing his Italian citizenship and going home to his fathers country to take an active in- terest in political affairs there.
 A large company of Hungarian Inde- pendents met him at the station and he made quite an elaborate speech. He said he had for long time hesitated before deciding, after his fathers death, to do that which he would not have done during his lifetime. Though he would never surrender his fathers prin- ciples, he must choose another way to- ward their realization. For more than 20 years he had recognized that his father, by merely holding fast to his ideal, was unable to bring Hungary any nearer to the independence for which he strove. A legal basis was necessary for the at tainment of that object, and he must seek peaceful method within the lim- its of the law by means of which they could achieve that independence. Such was the aim of his life and his activity as citizen.
 He denied that the end he had in view  was in any way disloyal, for it was no other than that of the reichstag of 1790, according to which Hungarians owed nothing to Austria beyond the duty of good neighborship.
 He wanted It plainly understood that he returned to his native land without any disloyal intention. Even were such an intention admissible on practical grounds, it must be rejected in the pres ence of a ruler who proved an exception to all their sovereigns during the past 300 years in his faithfulness to the con- stitution.
 He frankly confessed his hope that the monarch who had already broken with the traditions of his house would ulti- mately recognize that the spirit of the times demanded the independence of Hungry and that the progress of that country was genuine and permanent foundation for the security of his throne. He respected the king, both as a ruler and as man. Both had put an end to the differences between the sover- eign and his father.
 In conclusion, MT. Kossuth said he would pursue the object he had in view, namely. Hungarian independence, by peaceful means and in accordance with law,

 Near Kountze.
TWO BROTHERS UNDER ARREST.

 ment So Intense That the Prisoners
 Were Removed, Fearing a Lynching.
 Cause For the Deed Unknown.
 KoUNTzE, Tex. N ov. l.-L. T. Fer guson, prominent citizen of this place, was found dead in the road about Q mile north of here Tuesday morning by 2 boy named Charlie Perryman. Moth ing was taken from the body. Twelve buekshot struck Ferguson full in the breast and eight in the front thigh of the left leg, ranging downward, leading to the conclusion that the second shot was fired from behind as Ferguson WAS falling backward.
 Sam B. Humble, candidate for county tax assessor, and his brother, Pleas Humble. & bsrkeeper. were arrested. The most intense excitement prevailed here all day. Ferguson was one of the most popular men in this section and his friends have been loud in their denuncia- ton of the crime. Excitement had reached so high 8 pitch that lynching was freely talked of.
 Sheriff w. w. Lyon received warning that the men would be mobbed and de- ctded at once that Kountze was not the place for them, so yesterday afternoon he took them to Beaumont for safe keep ing.
 Mrs. Ferguson was at Sharon and knew nothing of the killing of her hus- band until she arrived at Kountzs. Be- side wife the deceased leaves three children and number of relatives.
 AS to what the motive. If any, behind Che crime is, no one seems to have a theory which may be relied on. The majority. however, believe that it is the outgrowth of the intense political ex- citement which now prevails,
