FRIDAY, JANUARY 81, 1876

Galveston poses as the school
center and intellectual metropolis
OF Texas. She boasts of her school
buildings, largely the gift of pri.
vate benefaction, and yet cannot
raise among her own people the
monies necessary to keep her
schools running. 1t is with her
schools as it is with her harbor
Improvements, so long as Uncle
San supplies the millions she is
in the swim for harbor improve
ment, but when congress votes no
mere supplies she will be in the
soup. In like manner she sings
peans to her school enterprise and
when private benefaction ceases
shuts down her school windows
and bolts the doors. San Antonio
boasts not Of her piety or her pro-
gress, but she pays her school bills
and out OF her own funds builds
new school houses from year to
year. The "pirate isle" is not in it.

In their announcement. They have

MEN WORSE THAN APES.
Revolving Customs of Some of tho African
Cannibal Tribes.

Cannibal Tribes.
The cannibalism of the black secret
society known as the Human Leopards
in the country near Sierra Leone brings
forclbly before us the difference between
the east African and west African hab-
its OF eating human flesh. The Sherbo
cannlhals waylaid and killed their vic
Tins and aftelward Toasted on their
flesh. Tho cannibalism of the east coast
is of a very different kind. The flesh of
the old people-tho grandfather and
grandmother of family-is dried and
mixed with condiments, and portion
of this is offered, with dim sort of
sacramental meaning, to travellers who
become guests of the family. To refuse
it would be deadly insult. To accept
it is passport to the privileged position
of friend Of the house. Many Of our
travellers in east Africa have eaten thus
sacramentally Of the ancestors of some
dark skinned potentate.
The cannibalism of the west coast is
Of more horrible kind, connected with
fetichism, tho worst developments of
which are peculiar to that country. But
there is hideously genuine appetite for
fresh human flesh still existing among
the negroes of west Africa. This canni-
balism manifests itself in refinement
Of gluttony which has its mild analogy
in the tastes Of Europeans. Young boys
are bought from the dark interior, kept
in pens, fattened upon bananas and fin
ally killed and baked. To these Thyes-
team feasts come not only the savage
chiefs of the interior, but Also it is
whispered, black merchants from the
coast. Men who appear Mt their places
Of business in English territory in broad
cloth and tall hats, who apo tho man.
ners of their white masters, are said to
disappear annually into the interior,
where, we arc told, they might be seen
in naked sayagery taking part in the
banquets on plump boys, in which they
delight.
Be this as it may, somehow the native
| of the west coast and its Hinterland is
unlike the East or South African native
in the deep lying savagery and the ex-
| traordinary facility for returning to it
which are his leading and very unpleas-
ant characteristics. The subject claims
the attention Of the anthropologist, and
| certainly suggests curious reason for
| questioning the relationship of the black
man and the ape or the gorilla, seeing
that the race of monkeys seems to be
singularly free from anything like can
nibalism. Saturday Review.

An Important Discovery Increasing the
Efficacy of Sails.

An Important Discovery Increasing tho
Efficacy of Sails.
An italian sea captain, Clio Batta
VaSallo of Genoa, has made q very inter
esting innovation in the use of sails of
ordinary sailing vessels. He claims that
the force of wind cannot fully take eff
feet in sail, since the air i'll front of it
cannot properly circulate III the inflated
part and remains stationary Immediate
~ in front of part of the sail proper. He
avoids this stagnation of air, MS he calls
it, by the application of "a number of
small holes in that part of the sail where
the depression is deepest when it is fill
ed. These holes arc re-enforced like q
buttonhole, so that they will not tear out
Trials made in various weather have
resulted as follows With light wind
boat with ordinary sails made 4
knots, while the new sail increased the
speed to 8 "a knots. In fresh breeze the
respective speeds were z and so knots.
and i'll strong wind they were and 10
knots an hour. 1t stands to reason that
the doing away with layer of air
which cannot escape past the sides of a
sail must increase tho efficiency of the
sallboat. Where the wind formerly
struck cushion of air which acted like
spring mattress, decreasing the actual
pressure of the wind against tho canvas,
this current of air now strikes the sail
direct and of course has greater eff
cheney. Vasallo has received much en-
couragemont from practical sailors as
we'll as theoretical scientists. -Phila.

Football In Africa.

Englishmen are proverbial for taking
their games with them into whatever
part OF the world they go. Golf, as we
know, is played i'll the shadow of the
pyramids and in the very heart Of the
Himalayas, but football in tho middle
OF darkest Africa is something of an in
novation. Yet football is rapidly be-
coming popular OH the shores of Lake
Nyassa, and at Kotakota, which few
years ago was notorious as the greatest
depot for slaves on the western shore of
the lake, mixed teams of black and
white meet every Saturday with as
much regularity as do our home teams,
though the local .chronicler omita to say
whether Rugby or Association has won
the suffrages of the NYassa teams. One
startling feature of the game is that the
black players decline TO hamper them
selves with boots and find apparently
