simply. The rods on which the swan
rests work on hinges. and are held in
place by two lines drawn taut by one
of the men under the truck, who. at
the proper moment, slackens the line,
causing the rods to drop by the weight

A MALAY GIRLS LIFE.

AIT evening, when the fierce sun went
down behind the green bantam tree that
nearly hid Mount Pulei, the khateeb
would sound the call to prayer on a
hollow log that hung UP before the
palm matched mosque, says the Over
land Monthly Then Busuk and her
playmates would fall on their faces,
while the holy man sung in a soft, mo-
notonous voice the promises of the
koran, the men of the campong answer
ing. "Allah il Allah he would sing,
and .Mohammed is his prophet" they
would answer.
Every night Busuk would lie down On
a. mat on the floor of the house with a
little wooden pillow under her neck and
when she dared she would peep down
through the open spaces in the bamboo
floor into the darkness beneath. Once
she heard low growl and great dark
form stood right below her. She could
see its tail lashing its sides with short,
whiplike movements. Then all the dogs
in the campong began to bark and the
men rushed down their ladders scream
ing 'Harinau! Harimau!" CA tiger! A

The next morning she found that her
pet dog Fatima, named after herself,
had been killed by one stroke of the

Just now everyone thinks more or
less of the Arctic regions. The world
is yet wondering concerning Nansen.
An intrepid balloonist is sailing for the

our recent visitor Borchegrevink, who
goes with the Antarctic party from
London in September. Other expedi-

that while Lohengrin sings his farewell
the swan gracefully inclines its head

FANATICS MASSACRED
SLAUGHTER IN A TEMPLE AT MAN.
JERI, SOUTHERN INDIA.
Nearly One Hundred Moplahs Caught
Like Rats I'm a Trap and
Shot to Death.


SAN FRANCISCO. April S.-Papers re-
ceived from the Orient on the steamer China
give vivid description of the slaughter of
nearly one hundred Moplah fanatics in
temple at ManJeri, in southern India, on
April 5. The Moplahs were caught like rats
in a trap. volley after volley was sent into
them by the Rajah's followers, and in
short time large majority were down.. The
remainder, with courage born Of fanaticism,
which astonished the onlookers, kept firing
off guns in the direction of the attacking
party, but did no damage The most revolt
ing spectacle was to see the wounded having
their throats cut by their comrades who were
able to stand. The scene inside the temple
was frightful; corpses were strewn all over
the place, and in one spot fifty-three bodies
were lying heaped one on top Of the other
Nearly all the. bodies were frightfully mutt
lated, gaping tslroats or skulls literally
smashed to pieces being visible all round,
and strewn over, the ground were hatchets
and knives. The general opinion is that the
worst is over, but the military is still out.

have yet to win their first game at home.
This afternoon about 1900 persons saw the

when men were on bases. Clarke is already
beginning to show the effects Of too much
work and it is feared that unless the club
gets one or two twirlers to help him out
he will break down. Clarke has pitched in
nearly every game since the season opened.
