SEA GULL As MESSENGER.
1Isws OF = Famous Disaster Carried to the
I Living by q Gull.

Living by Gull.
The news of a famous disaster or.
the great Indian ocean was lately
brought 20 the living by a sea gull, g
said a traveller, who was on his way to
New Zealand, according to the st. Louis
Globe-Democrat.
-tSome years ago the Indian liner At
1antis, plying between Liverpool and
Calcutta, was lost in the Indian sea
and all on board perished. At that time
I was sailing from London to New
South Wales via the Red and the Indian
seas The boat / was on was the Tri-
tonia, good sound vessel, and 1 had an
enjoyable trip. While sailing in the
Indian sea sea gul was one day cap
fured and about its neck was tied a
small note, which read:
&'tAtlantis struck en- the Harad rock.
We are all lost. Father Coathe.'
<sThis remarkable message was all
that was ever found. The boat had
sailed some five months previous, well
stocked with merchandise and passen-
gers, and had been duly inspected and
pronounced seaworthy. 1t must have
been a terrific shock that caused her to
sink. But the message was strange.
Who Father Coathe was and how he
AdPPSAeu 10 nave d Sed gun d1 MANU-
VIII always remain a mystery. What
wonderful courage he must have had,
standing as he did on the brink of eter-
nifty and there writing message to the
living.
-fWe continued our journey to Sidney,
where the note and sea gull were both
delivered to the harbormaster, together
with the evidence of the crew. This
was afterward sent to England, where
the knowledge was distributed. 1t
seems to me that few such facts as
these would serve to build narrative
upon; and you can easily believe that it
would be more interesting than fiction"

THE MUSHROOM eULLEI.


a New Irojectl1e Th8t VIII Disable Men
Rather Than XIII Them.
Gen. Twecdie has designed bullet
which is thought highly of by English
ordnance experts, and is IN their opin.
ion something that will meet a longs felt
want, says the New York Times.
The new small-bore bullet has been
found to pass through living animals in
less sensitive parts without their being
aware that they have been struck at all.
This is due to the combination of high
velocity and small diameter. In war
the object is to disable men, and this is
often more effectually fulfilled by
wounding than by killing, because a
wounded man a. the moment requires
one or two men to look after him, while
the dead man is for the time let alone.
If the wound, however. is one that
hardly makes it's existence known the
immediate object may not be answered.
A savage especially would despise a
wound of that character. If the bullet
strikes bone the effect is different, be-
cause bone splinters terribly under a
blow at n high velocity, but for what
are called flesh wounds the small bore
is nowhere
Gen. Tweedie-s bullet has mantlet
or case, which is closed at the base and
open at the head, the mantlet ending
about half way between the shoulder
and the point. The result is that on
striking the head spreads or 'smush-
rooms SO as to make the bullet, after
having the advantage of a small diam
eter in fight, to become on impact
practically one of large bore, the main
difference being that the energy con
sists more in velocity and less in
weight than was the case in an old
large-bore ball. 1t is said also to be
much more efficient against thin iron
or steel plate for the same reason
namely, that it makes much larger
hole and acts particularly well in
obGque impact OF course it will be
clearly understood that this is only in
cases in which the plate is outmatched
by the bullet. AS the chief objection
to the bullet is that it will not do the
work of an armor-piercing projectile,
the objection can stand, says a prom
inent ordnance authority. and, as the
Tweedie bullet possesses almost all of
the qualities required, it seems very
probable that extensive experiments
will be made to prove its superiority to
other small-arm bullets in use to-day. ),

NEW EXPLORATIONS IN AFRICA.
A Party Going to Complete the study of
Lake Albert Edward.

Lake Albert Edward.
An exploring party is about to under
take very interesting mission in Gem
tral Africa. The Due Dues will lead
the party, and will be accompanied by
four white comrades and fifty Sengalese
soldiers. They are to be taken up the
Congo river as far as Stanley Falls on
one of the steamers of the free state
At Stanley Falls they expect to hire
from Tippu lib and his nephew, Rochid,
two hundred and fifty porters, and then
they will plunge into the great forest
east of Stanley Falls, with the inten-
ton of making their way to Lake AL
bert Edward.
Their route will lie a good way south
of Stanley's route when he suffered so
many hardships in the same great for
est, on his way to Albert Nyanza. I'm
doubtedly the party will find tribes of
natives that have never been heard of be-
fore. The most interesting part of their
work, however, will be in the basin
where Lake Albert Edward gathers the
streams that are among the headwaters
of the Nile. This lake is as yet known
only on its north and east sides Stan
ley solved the question which so long
puzzled geographers, as to whether the
"
was therefore Nile tributary, or
whether its waters fed the Congo He
found that the Semlili river carries the
waters of the lake into Albert Nyanza
and the Nile, and along the east bank
of this little river he discovered the
wonderful snow-clad mountain range
of which the now famous Ruwenzori is
the crowning feature.
1t is not known as yet, however, how
large Lake Albert Edward really is, and
this will be one of the questions for the
present exploring party to settle. They
also expect to make thorough. study
of the photography of this region, so it
may be known how far south and west
the basin of the Nile extends. 1t is
probable that the great forest hides in
its gloomy depths more than one of the
sources of the Nile. In a geographical
sense the work which this expedition is
to undertake is one of the most interest
ing enterprises which yet await the ex
plorers of Africa

FOR MARTIN FOR GOVERNOR.

After all the truest test that can be
applied to any man is the estimation in
which he is held by those who know
him best-by his everyday, longtime
neighbors. By such a measure George
w. Martin of Kansas City, Kansas, is
big enough, true enough and in every
way fully equipped to make satisfact-
ory successor to Lewelling or to any
other man as governor of Kansas. There
lies on our table ''au address by COM
mittee of ten prominent citizens of
Geary county and junction City, which
for twenty-seven years was Mr. Martins S
home. As an editor for all that time lie
was champion for the interests of the
interior of the state. The address is
nearly two columns long which emobod-
les much of the history of his public SER
vices. of which he and his friends are all
proud enough. Among other things the
address says:
We feel justified in recommending
George w. Martin for the Republican
nomination for governor upon distinct
grounds Of individual fitness. He Is too
sincere to be a demagouge and too much
in earnest TO tritie with public interests
by any show of false pretense. He be-
lieves that governments are ordained to
secure public welfare, not to furnish
easy berths for favored persons He
believes that laws are made to be in
forced and that in this way only can the
public will find appropriate expression.
No question OF public policy which
has arisen in Kansas has ever driven him
into concealment or cowardly ambi-
guities His honest thought, without
respect to its influence upon his own
fortunes, has AWAY been given with I'M
reserved freedom to the public. His
whole life has been al open book, his
methods are direct and plain, and his
words are selected with view to ex-
press, not to conceal his meaning. He
belongs to the plain people, and he has
| hearty detestatlon of corrupt methods,
OF selfish and self-seekiug combinations
in promoting personal political fortunes.
and he is too self reliant 10 become linked
to entangling alliances.
The depiorable condition of Kansas
today appeals for absolute unity in the
Republican party. We believe that on
George w. Martin all can unite in har-
monious effort for success. His career
has not been such as To array him
against the interests of rival ambitions
He has labored for Others in the past and
always for Kansas. His success will
assure for the state an honest, safe ard
prudent administration OF public affairs

men. / am an American and l rejoice
every day of my life that am. enjoy
the general prosperity Of my country.
and know that the workingmen of this
country are the best paid, the best fed
and the bes. clothed of any laborers on
the face of the earth. Many of them
have homes of their own. They are
surrounded by all of the comforts and
many of the luxuries of life.
81 shudder, however, at the thought
that the time must come when all this
will be changed, when the general pros
perity Of the country will be destroyed,
when the great body of workingmen i'll
this land, who are now so prosperous,
will hear their wives and children cry
for bread; that the day must come when
the great factories and manufactures of
this land will shut down, and where
there is now life and activity, there will
be the silence of the tomb. And the
reason why this must be is this: The
| great Southern wing of the Democratic
party are determined to establish the
doctrine of free trade in this land.
| They will be assisted by their Northern
allies, The fight is now On. There
is great body of visionary,
but educated men who are employed
day by day in writing free trade essays
| and arguments in favor of that doctrine,
| which find their way into every news
| paper in this land. The great body of
our people have never experienced,
themselves, the sufferings which always
result when the protective principles are
laid aside.
Poisoned and excited by the wild
statements of these writcrS and the
demagogic appeals of Democratic speak
ers, the result will he that in the very
near future these forces which are now
working will be strong enough to defeat
at the polls the party advocating the
doctrine of protection. 1t must inevit-
ably follow that uncertainty and
doubt Will ensue. The business
men of the country, fearing
the destruction of the principle of pro-
lection, will decline TO engage in busi-
ness, consequently mills will shut down
and the workingmen will be thrown out
of employment. The people will then
see as they have never seen before that
they cannot be prosperous and have
work while this principle is threatened.
In the midst of their suffering they will
learn that the only way they can be
prosperous and happy is to vote for the
party that has built up the industries by
which they have gained a livelihood;
because they will then see clearly that
when the mandatory is shut down
there is no demand for the only thing
which they have to sell and that is their
labor
