The SOkO Ane.

Letters from the African traveller,
Oscar Neumann, at Bul<oba, sd Is the
London News, contains many interest
ing things that Neumann learnt from
the Manyemas. One is that the Soko
ape is very common and much feared
in Manyamaland. between Nyangwe
and the northern shore of the Tang
anyika. Some time ago an Arab
wanted to take SolSo which lie had
captured to the coast. He succeeded
in reaching Ugogo with his prize.
There he died, and his sons, who
attributed the death of their father
to the entertainments of the wicked
wood demon, fastened to retraasport
the supposed origin of their misfortune
to its native place, and the interesting
specimen was thus lost to science.

RESEARCHES IN THE AIR.
Tests Which Reveal the Number OF
ParticleR.

Particles.
The air of meeting-room, tested in
different places, and at different times,
says the Gentleman's Magazine, showed
numbers Of heterogeneous varying
from 1855 900 to 3,5O0,000. The air near
the ground contained fewer than the
air near the ceiling. For example, the
air some four feet from the ground con-
tanned e70, 600 before the meeting, and
at the end of the meeting 100000;
while near the ceiling the amount at
the beginning of the meeting was g.
OOO, 900, and at the end of the meeting
this had been increased to 100000.
Air near burning jet of gas showed
the largest figures of all. Thus, in the
immediate vicinity of a Bunsen fame,
the gigantic number of 100000 was
found in cubic ccntimeter, or $50 ,OO0,-
600 per cubic inch. In Mr.. Atkins own
words: ut does seem strange that there
may be as many dust particles in one
cubic inch of mir of room at night
when the gas is burning as there are
Inhabitants in Great Britain; and that
in three cubic inches of gases from a
Bunscn fame there are as many parti-
clcs rs there are inhabitants of the
world
Possibly tests on the air of smoking
rooms would reveal still greater num-
bers. Mr.. Athens has not yet tested
such air, but he found that a cigarette
smoker sends 1900, 000,0 900 particles,
more or less, into the air with every
puff he makes.
German Account of tho Starry Flag.
A German periodical has the follow
ing story as to the origin of the Stars
and Stripes: The idea originated with
q Dane named Marker, He was born
on the Island St. Croix, of the Danish
West Indies, where his father and
grandfather had lived, In IT'S he left
his native island and proceeded to
Philadelphia. He was among the first
to join company of volunteers for
American liberty and independence.
For vaior shown at Oriskany he was
elected captain. and to show his
gratitude he designed flag, in whose
upper corner he applied the thirteen
stars, emblematic of the thirteen orig
inal states of the union. This was the
first occasion upon which the ''star
spangled banner" was unfurled. The
original flag of Capt. Marker is sup
posed to be in existence in some nation
al collection of relics of the war Of the
revolution.

noyance to clergymen. Some years ago
4 Methodist minister Was delivering
= sermon with good deal Of earn
estness when his attention was attracted
70 a boy in the gallery. The youngster
was leaning over the rail and appar.
emily lowering some thing attached to
q cord, which he occasionally pulled up,
when he would throw it over again with
more gusto than ever. Do what he would
the preacher could not keep his eyes off
the boy. Shifting his position in the
pulpit slightly, he had Il better opportu-
nifty to see what was going on. and oh.
served that an old gentleman in Il pew
under the gallery had fallen asleep and
was sitting with his head back and his
mouth wide open. Seeing this, the boy
had attached cork to a string and was
endeavoring to lower it into the old mans
mouth. He came near succeeding
several times, and as the corklgently
swayed to and fro it occasionally tickled
the seeper's nose. At such times he
would stir little uneasily and brush it
away with his hand, to the evident de-
light Of the gcinniny youngster. The
whole scene was so exceedingly comical
that the minister came near laughing out
right. At length he was obliged to
beckon to the sexton and request him
to put an end to the boys fishing for
the day or else send him somewhere
else to do it
