Mr.. cARRoLL's GREAT IDEA.
1t npts n Man Mt His Best When uo Is
Held UP by q bhe

W W u &NooReTs
Taylor Carroll is engaged in devising
q formidable system of defense for lone
pedestrians when they wander in dan
gerous places where police protection is
Ineffective and the risk of being ''held
up" is ever present. His plan is to con
vert b erect human body into q NINA
ture revolving turret, armed at four
points and capable Of dealing death in
front, rear or flank simultaneously or
of sending four successive discharges
in the same direction.
MI. CAROLS design is still in its ru-
dimentary stage, with numberless minor
details to be elaborated, but his central
idea is we'll developed. He says he has
not yet prepared diagrams or expert
mental apparatus, but has merely out
lined it mentally.
II would have a small storage bat
terry worn in a belt" he said, with
small copper wires running from it ND
through the sleeves and connected with
each hand on the great or middle finger
with n copper ring the thumb can reach
in the palm of tho hand. When the
thumb touched the ring, an electrical
current would discharge four batteries
loaded with ball behind and in front.
This discharge could take place when
the hands were being held under the
threat of an armed robber.
"The ring should be placed beyond
the reach OF the thumb except in cases
OF emergency, so the thumb will never
discharge the battery accidentally"
Mr.. Carroll is not n practical electri-
clan or mechanic, being an actor by
profession. He has not figured up the
weight OF the storage battery to be car
ried on the belt, nor is he adverse to
considering the ~advisability of substi-
ruting q dry primary cell.
In his zeal for the application of sci
entiic methods to the protection of the
citizen the inventor has apparently left
out OF sight everything but the tactical
advantage Of the lonely pedestrian at
tackled in front by the bold marauder or
clasped from behind by the lurking gar
roter. Thus he has not yet figured out
how a slim young man is to avoid as
suming Falstaffian dimensions when he
braces storage batteries and ~arsenals
around his waist.
Nor does he forecast the possibly trag-
c consequences that might some day
result from the clasp of a loving hand
upon the thumb and palm that carried
the potential copper appurtenances he
describes. making inadvertent electrical
contact and producing q catastrophe
when only endearment was intended

Breyet Rank.

The story is told of a soldier Of the
Army of the Potomac who had his w
ideas as to his financial value, as well
as the method by which that Value could
be realized.
He was a white man and was detailed
for service as q teamster in u train
which was driven for tho most part by
negroes. Tho negroes were hired ut the
rate OF $50 per month, but the white
soldier received no more than his regu-
lar pay of SIG.
Ho appeared somewhat dissatisfied
with this arrangement and made an ap-
plication to his captain.
II should like" he said gravely, "to
be appointed a negro by brevet, and be
assigned to duty in accordance with MY

An Important Discovery Increasing u,
Efficacy OF Sails.

IuncnCy oil sails.
An Italian sea captain, Clio Batta
Vasallo of Genoa, has made 4 very inter
esting innovation i'll tho use of sails Of
ordinary sailing vessels. He claims that
tho force of wind cannot fully take eff
feet i'll a sail, since the air in front of it
cannot properly circulate in the inflated
part and remains stationary Immediate
ly i'll front of part of the sail proper. He
avoids this %staGnation of air, as he calls
it. by the application of il number of
small holes i'll that part of the sail where
tho depression is deepest when it is fill.

resulted as follows: With a light wind
q boat with ordinary sails made A
knots, while the new sail increased the
speed to 81 knots. In n fresh breeze the
respective speeds were Z and So knots,
and i'll a strong wind they were S and 10
knots an hour. 1t stands to reason that
the doing away with a layer of air
which cannot escape past the sides Of a
sail must increase the efficiency of the
sailboat. Where the wind formerly
struck 4 cushion of air which acted like

pressure. of the wind against the canvas

Football In Africa.

Englislimen are proverbial for taking
their games with them into whatever
part of the world they go. Golf, as we
knew, is played i'll the shadow of the
pyramids and i'll tho very heart Of the
Himalayas, but football III the middle
of darkest Africa is something of IN in
%novation. Yet football is rapidly be-
coming popular on the shores of Lake
Nyassa, and ut Kotakota, which q 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 omits to say
whether Rugby or Association has won
the suffrages of tho Nyassa teams. One
startling feature of the game is that tho
black players decline to hamper them
selves with boots and find apparently
no Inconvenience in playing with baro
feet.-London Cor. Manchester Guard

Revolving Customs OF Some OF tho ASrican
CannibGi Tribes.
II cannibalism of the black secret
society known as the Human L.eopards
IN the country near Sierra Leone brings
forcibly before us the difference between
the east African and west African hab-
its of eating human flesh. The Sherbo
cannihals waylaid and killed their VIC
tins and afterward toasted on their
flesh. Tho c~annibalism Of the east coast
is of q very different kind. Tho flesh of
the old people-the grandfather and
grandmother of a family-is dried and
mixed with condiments, and u portion
OF this is offered. with q dim sort Of
sacramental meaning, to travellers who
become guests Of the family. To refuse
it would DO a deadly insult. 70 accept
it is a passport to the privileged position
of a friend of the house. Many of our
travellers in cast Africa have eaten thus
sacramentally of the ancestors of some
dark skinned potentate.
The cannibalism of the west coast is
of n moro horrible kind, connected with
fetlchism, the worst developments of
which arc peculiar to that country. But
there is q hideously genuine appetite for
fresh human flesh still existing among
the negroes of west Africa. This canni-
balism manifests itself in a 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 tho savage
chiefs of the interior, but also, it is
whispered, black merchants from tho
coast. Men who appear ut their places
of business i'll English territory in broad
cloth and tall hats, who ape the man.
ners of their white masters, are said to
disappear annually into the interior,
whore, we are told, they might be seen
in naked savagery taking part in the
banquets OH plump boys, in which they
delight.
Be this rs it may, somehow the native
OF the west coast and it's Hinterland is
unlike the East or South African native
in the deep lying tsavagery and the ex-
traordinary facility for returning to it
which nre his leading and very unpleas-
amt characteristics. The subject claims
the attention of the anthropologist, and
certainly suggests q curious reason for
questioning tho relationship of the black
man and thu ape or the gorilla, seeing
that the raco Of monkeys seems to be
