ROBBHR.PROOP CARS

"Whenever robbery is reporte d."
says the manager Of leading express
company, "we are deluged with letters
from all sorts of crsnks and inventors
over the country, each one of whom
has patent that is the only preventive.
Only short time ago we had one letter
from chap who wished US to keep
what he had to offer an inviolable &C.
cret. He said that he had not patented
it, and was only waiting to hear from
us. His plan called for the construc-
tion under the roof of the Car for a
chamber with falling doors. As soon
as the robbers entered the car all the
messengers had to do was to throw q
switch. This let down the doors of the

diers, kill and wound as many as they
can in few minutes and then fade
away. While the fighting lasts 1t is in
variably hand to hand and the man
with ng sword or lance is as good
as the man with the magazine rifle.
The lancers do as much damage as
warriors armed with rifles. The Italian
explorer Cecchi says that he saw a
shield made of hipropctamus hide
pierced like piece of paper by lance
thrown by an Abyssinian at distance
of 200 feet. A compactly formed band
of Italian soldiers affords an easy tar
get for these lancers, who appear like
magic, sho wer their lances and disa D.
pear before guns can be trained on
them.
But the Abyssinians who are fighting
for the independence Of their ancient
land are capable of waging war in the
regular way. When fights of this kind
are made it is believed that the native
forces are differed by French and
Russian military men, as tactics are
adopted which are known only to SOL
diers of the most modern schools. This
seems to have been the case at Makalle,
which was surrendered blythe Italians
under Colonel Galliano to Ras Makon-
men, commander of the Abyssinians, a
few days ago. The Italians had held
Makalle since last fall, but they were
finally starved out. The Italians, with
the rspid-firing guns, would have an
nihilated the Abyssinians had they
made an assault upon the fortress Of
Makslle.
While the Abyssinians have proved
themselves fighters of considerable
skill, they are most interesting as a
people, for many of their customs are
the same which prevailed in the times
of the sncients. Debt is their particu-
lar adherence. To be unable to repay
loan is disgrace greater than igno.
minious death, for it places a whole
family outside the breastworks of re-
spectacle society for generations.
Three thousand years ago the Egyp-
ii an who contracted debt always had
to give as security the mummy of his
father. If he failed to release the
corpse of his parent from the hands of
the money lender by repsying the loan,
he was forever disgraced, and was de-
MED religious services upon his death
The same spirit snimstes the Abys
sinian. He is taught from babyhood
to avoid debt, both for his moral and
physical we'll being. The Abyssinian
law is more energetic .inipunishing the
unfortunate debtor than was the an
cient Egyptian. The debtor is cast in
to prison and an iron band fastened
around his right wrist. Every day the
creditor and an officer of the law visit
him. and when he says he is unable to
pay, turn is given to the screws in
the wrist band, which causes it to sink
into the flesh. If the unfortunate has
no friends who can scrape up the re-
quired sum, the wrist band shrinks and
shrinks until the hand is completely
severed. Then the debtor is released

concealed chamber. As soon az the
doors fell blast of air was created
from some mysterious source and
countless little balls of India ink would
be thrown into the Car, branding every
man jack Of the robbers indelibly for
future Identification, to say nothing of
soaring them to death.
"Another chap, I remember, had q
scheme that was unique. It consisted
of the placing of cylinder in the car.
The moment the messenger appreciated
that he was attacked, all he had to do
was to drag the safes into the cylinder
and lock them up there along with
himself. The cylinder WAS punctured
with holes, which commanded every
part Of the car, and through them he
could shoot the robbers down one by
one. When We asked him what was
the matter with the robbers shooting
back through these same holes and
puncturing the messenger, he was
stumped and retired.
"On some of the western roads they
are now trying new plan. Each ex-
press car is equipped with one or more
cylinders of email diameter, which are
filled with powerful chemical prepa-
ration. The instant the messenger in
side has reason to think that his car ie
threatened he takes the cylinder down
from it's case and drops it through q
prepared opening in the floor of his
Car. Then, by pressure of the foot
or some other simple method, he ig.
mites the thing. The chemicals fame
out and illuminate the country for q
great distance around. The cylinder
becomes great torch. The expert
ment is being tried there, but whether
it will be a success or not remains to
be seen."-Boston Herald.

in-chief of the Italian forces in Abys-
sinia, is a skilled fighter in that coun-
try. He is 81 years old. In 1859, when
he had completed a monkish educa-
tion, he Joined Garibaldi, q volunteer
in the Thousand of Marsala. Not long
afterward he joined the Italian army,
and was quickly promoted until he
attained the rank of captain.
Bsratieri was wounded at CustoZza,
after fighting with great gallantry.
After travelling to Khartoum with an
exploring expedition, and on his re-
turn acting for some years as the edi-
tor of the Rivists Militsire in Rome, he
was sent as military sttache to Berlin
and Vienna.
At the time that Italy became i'm
bued 80 strongly with the desire for
colonial possessions Baratieri was q
Colonel of Bsrsagliers. In command
of his regiment he accompanie Gem
ersl Gandolfi to Africa, where he has
remained ever since, distinguishing
himself in military operations against
the Abyssinians, Somalis and Dervish-
es. He became Governor and Com
mander-in-chief on the retirement Of
General Gandolf. ,..
Baratieri has had difficulties to con-
tend with which would perplex the
greatest general that ever lived. The
dervishes who have joined the Abys-
sinians are fanatics. Their captains
give the men q peculiar drug, more
powerful than hAshish or opium, be-
fore going into battle, i11e1icsting
them and making them fight with the
fury Of Aends. They care absolutely
nothing for death. The trained soldier
is at q discount when pitted against
legions of these madmen, bent upon
slaughter.
Itsly's treasury is empty, and with
no money to equip the thousands Of
necessary troops it looks as if Abys-
sinia would maintain her indepen-
dence, particularly with France and
Russia at her back. These nations do
not want Italy to gobble up the $780,
900 square miles Of territory, which,
however, seems to be rich only in ira
dition.
The herald., 1896-02-23

with the mark of his disgrace forever
attached to him. 1t is almost needless
to say that few debts are contracted in
Abyssinia.
In one way they are tremendously
religious, and two out of every three
days, the year through, are fast days,
The Virgin Mary they pray to aad call
upon for protection. Motherhood in
the eyes of the Abyssinians is most
sacred, and they venerate their moth
ers beyond all else. The will of their
mothers is law and part of their reli-
gion. They argue that if they obtain
the good will of the Virgin she will in
tercede for them with Christ, and that
He will follow her wishes. They be-
lieve that women are more tender
hearted than men and quicker to for
give transgressions.
In ordinary times the stranger in
Abyssinia who processes to be fol-
lower of the Virgin is treated with rare
courtesy. No door is closed against
him, and the best in the poorest or
richest houses is at his command. He
is as safe from harm as If he was in his
own home and nothing is left undone
to make him comfortable.
1t is probably the greatest country
for feuds the world over. These feuds
seem destined to last forever, and the
older they grow the stronger they be-
come. A whole family may be exter-
minated, but the next of kin is bound
to step in and carry on hostilities. In
this way the fight is kept up generation
after generation, until the original
cause of the row has been completely
lost sight of.
A man who feels that he has been in
suited makes a formal call upon his
enemy and is received by servant, to
whom he imparts the reason of his
visit. This is simply formal notifica-
ton of war. The caller is treated with
show of hospitality, being invited to
eat and drink, but members of the
family do not show themselves. After
he has passed out OF the house the war
begins.
II man kills another without just
cause he is handed over to the relatives
of the victim, who are entitled to kill
him in the same way that he did the
murder. Or, il one man wounds an
other the latter's relatives are entitled
to wound him in the same way.

fight of her life in trying to conquer
the warlike Abyssinians,and unless she
makes startling improvements that an
cient people may overwhelm her with
defeat.
OF all the petty wars of the past few
months, the Abyssinian struggle is the
most interesting, for the reason that
the people are fearless and. capable of
meeting slaughter with slaughter. In
their recent campaign in Madagascar,
the French had only to overcome the
deadly miasma which permeates the
island. The English, in the struggle
with Pempreh, the farce-comedy mon
arch of Ashantee, had the same enemy
to contend with, but to lesser degree.
Spain has some real fighters opposed
to her in Cuba, but Italy is having the
hardest time of them all.
The forefathers of the people Italy is
fighting were subjects of the Queen of
Sheba. Their national pride is unlim-
tied, and they look down upon all other
nations of the world as inferior to
them in Christianity. To the European
or American mind there is very little in
Abyssinia today to suggest the glorious
riches which astounded Solomon. In
fact, the whole country has down-at-
the-heel look. Because their ancestors
of countless generations ago ranked as
the greatest people in the world, the
Abyssiniens of the present time regard
themselves as pre-eminent. They boast
of their civilization, but it is ragged
and worn out echo of the civilization
which reigned thousands of years ago.
But for all that the Abyssinians are
fighters. It is now more than a year
since Italy began active hostilities and
today the Abyssinians have the upper
hand in the fight The reason of it is
simple. Italy has about fifteen thou
sand men in the field, while King Men
elk IL has 100000. Only 10000 of the
latter at the outset were armed with
modern rifles, but he is receiving fresh
supplies all the time and his fighting
force is steadily improving.
It is believed that both France and
Russia are silently at work in the
cause of Menelik. A former French
army officer was induced some years
ago to establish and direct powder
making factory in Shos, in the south
ern end of Abyssinia, and now there is
no danger of scarcity of ammunition.
Intelligent natives now operate the
factory, and in addition to powder
making they turn out thousands of
cartridges every day.
While Menelik had only 10000 rifles
ut the beginning of the war, it is be-

to advertise for bids to supply these

have cost the Reed and Mckinley man
