Labor Troubles In south Africa.
RradStreef,S


One of the advantages enjoyed by the
developers of the Witwatersrand gold
fields of South Africa has been that the
bulk OF the labor employed was native,
and that the wages have been so low as
TO offset very materially the high trans
portation and other charges. With the
opening up OF fresh reefs in the Rand
there have, however. come further de-
mands for labor. while the supply is de-
creasing. A strike on one of the proper
ties demonstrates that the natives are
becoming educated to a realization OF their
power. The local authorities OF the
Transvaal republic have even been sum-
mary in their dealings with the black
man, and are now preparing legislation to
make him work more and keep him I'M
der better control An English corre-
spondent, writing from johannesburg,
however points out that such measures
are really intended for the benefit of the
Boer farmers, who have suffered much
from the dearth of labor. and that as at
present the republic is dependent for its
supply upon tribes beyond its borders, the
effect upon the chiefs and their tribes in
the interior is to be watched with anxi-
ety. In short, the labor problem is be-
coming one of great Importance to the
future of the Transvaal and its gold
fields.

Tho Death of Hannibal.

Hannibal was made an exile, not IS
commonly supported, through Roman
influence so much as from the personal
luminosity of his countrymen. After the
defeat at Zimma he turned his atten-
ton to the political affairs of Carthage,
and inaugurated system of reform
which he carried out so vigorously that
he soon found himself intensely hated
by q large faction Of the Carthaginians.
Behind him was the honesty of the
country, however, and, finding he could
not be swerved from his purpose, the
rogues in office attempted to assassin
ate him. Finding that his death had
been determined on Hannibal left Car
thage, went to Tyre, and thence to the
dominions of Antiochus, whom he soon
enlisted in war with Rome. The war
proved failure, and Antiochus was
ordered to surrender Hannibal, who
got news of the demand and made his
escape. Roman hatred followed him to
Bithynia, and, finding himself on the
point Of being given up, he died from
poison. The story that he once had .
meeting at Ephesus with his old enc
my, Scipio Africanus, is told ON fairly

Goldenrod's Peculiarly.

Probably great many people who
travel have failed to notice that the Pc
Rod of blooming of the goldenrod does
not begin first in the south and move
northward, but apparently in the other
direction-from north to south. In some
places in northern Vermont and New
Hampshire goldenrod of the common
field and railroad track variety is in
profuse bloom as early as the 10th OF
July. On the Kennebec river the other
day a traveller noted that the goldenrod
was much more golden and less tinged
with green than it is in Maiden or Cam
bridge, Mass. And the place where the
plant is latest of all in following ap'
parently is Cape Cod, where the dwarf
seaside variety, most common there,
hardly begins to do itself justice before
September. tits possible that the north
ern goldenrod ripens before that farther
south for the same reason that Indian
corn ripens earlier in Vermont than it
does in Virginia-it has got to ripen
earlier if it is going to ripen at ALL

One may 20 back over the maritime
records for the last 900 years and find
that pirates and piracy existed every day
ia all that time in Chinese waters.
During the civil war in the United
States the Chinese pirates became more
active than for many years before. In
&1S64 it was computed that there We're
no less than 200 piratical craft afioat in
the China sea and adjacent waters.
Some of these craft carried only six or
eight men and made native rice and
house boats their victims, while others
carried so, 60 CT 70 men and boldly at
tackled everything except man of-war,

1t would be interesting to know what
sort Of pull the great armor plate man
ufacturing companies have with the
United States government. The public
wondered that the investigation of ar
NOR plate scandals of year ago practic-
ally ended in nothing, and now when
a batch of plating has been accepted
by the government, although the
specimen tested was penetrated by q
ball, it would once more like to be
able to understand what the pull is.
In accepting the armor the secretary
of the navy decided that the ballistic
test was unusually severe, and at the
same time the plate tried was unusu-
ally weak; therefore he would lump
tie difference and take the lot But how
will this decision affect the reputation
abroad of our armor plate, now reoog-
ni3ed to be the best in the world? twill

At any time in a naval battle an enc.

REPRODUCTION IN MICROBES.

Two Million Individuals From slaele
Specimen.
The old line of pseudo scientists, the
superstitious, self-styled ''scholars' of
the early part OF this and the latter
part of the eighteenth century, be-
lieved that filth would breed microbes,
but, as the absurd idea OF "spon-
taneous generation" has long since
been exploded, it will not be discussed
in this 'note,'' which is solely intended
TO explain the manner in which mi
crobes multiply. There are several
species of these minute creatures and
they have various ways Of reproducing
their species, but the most common is
what the investigators term ''repro-
duction by fissure." If, with strong
microscope, we carefully watch q mi
crobe for a short time we see ICON
striction" appearing on each side in
the center of the body. This soon
shows itself in the shape of a line
across, and then, all of sudden, the
microbe separates in the middle and
behold, we have two in place of one!
Each of these rapidly increases in size
until they are as large as the original,
when the miracle of the side spots and
transverse line appears and in place Of
two microbes we have four. BY this
wonderful plan of reproduction one
increases to two, two to four, four to
eight and eight to sixteen until within

FORMATION OF HAIL.

The Agency Of Electricity in IIakng tha
Icy Pellets.
The formation of hail through elec-
trical action, according to the new the.
DRY of Sig. Marangoni, is very inter
The wind draws out cloud into long,
narrow strip. In that form, owing to
the great amount of surface exposed to
the air, the cloud evaporates very rap
idly, and rapid evaporation produces
intense cold.
Dry particles of snow are then
formed, and these, by friction with the
water drops, quickly become charged
with negative electricity. But the
water-drops themselves carry positive
electricity, and since negative attracts
positive, film of water is formed upon
each snow particle and is instantly
frozen into layer of ice.
At this thickness it's outer surface re-
mains moist, the water not freezing so
rapidly there, whereupon the electrical
charge changes from negative to posi-
tive, and the particle is repealed by the
water-drops and driven to the outer
parts of the cloud. Here the increased
cold covers it with snow again, and
friction charges it anew with negative
electricity. u
Repulsion is now once more changed
for attraction, and the particle rushes
back into. the cloud, receiving upon it's
surface another film of water, which is
turned into second ice layer.
Thus, the growing hailstone darts
zigzag through the cloud, piling up its
alternate layers OF snow and ice, until
gravitation gains control and sends it,
with a jingling crowd of it's fellows,
spinning to the ground.
