THE PEARL OF AFRICA.
Flight Of MwangR from His King
dom of Uganda,

Flight of MWnnga from HIS hihA-
dom of Uganda,
Thu brief announcement was recently
made hat Mwanga, the king of Uganda,
had fed from his capital and sprren-
dered himself TO the authorities OF
German East Africa. No further de-
tails were given, but the bare fact was
full of interest. For that scapegrace
king is one of the best-known charac-
tiers IN all the Dark Continent, and
Uganda, the Pearl of Africa" is a
country upon which the attention of
the world has been much centered, II
is Il region of geographical interest and
of great political Importance, and it
has been the scene of some of the
most romantic adventures and most
earnest missionary efforts in all the
Dark Continent. The. full story OF
Mwanga's abdication and flight and this
subsequent development of affairs will,
therefore. be awaited with peculiar
eagerness in America, as we'll as in the
three countries which have for years
been contending for the possession Of
that equatorial kingdom.
The immediate predecessor OF
Mwanga was Mtesa, who will be re-
membered as a "gentls savage" who
was most hospitable to the explorer
Stanley and under whose benign sway
Uganda was first brought to the at
%tention of the civilized world. There
was once hope that Mwanga would fol-
bow in his footsteps. but it has never
been approXimated in realization. He
has, on the contrary, proved to be one
of the worst specimens of African bar.
barism.
In religion he has been pagan, Roman
CATHOLIC and Protestant by turns, with

MAGNETS FOR LIFTING BEAMS
Device of the Illinois Steel Company
for Transferring Heavy Metal.

Device of the Illinois Steel Company
for transferring Heavy Metal.
Down at Joliet the Illinois Steel COM
pany has rugged up a set of electric
magnets capable of picking up beams
weighing more than five IONS each. The
magnets are used for the purpose of
carrying the beams from one point to
another in the shops. They are among
the most powerful appliances of the
kind in the world. But the amount OF
the fluid needed to make them operate
is surprisingly small. 1t requires about
one-tenth the mount of force to charge
these magnets that 1t does TO push an
ordinary trolley car along the street.
They are horseshoe magnets with poles
7K inches apart. At the upper end is a
plate of soft steel. The poles are ten
inches long and the upper ia inches
are wrapped with insulated copper
wire.
The working of the magnet is simple.
When q plate or beam is lying any
where else than where it is wanted the
magnet, attached to the crane tackle,
in place of the ordinary sling OF hook,
is lowered and its poles placed on the
load to be moved as near the center as
practicable. Then the current is turned
on and the underlying plate or beam is
held fast by the magnetic attraction.
The crane IL then put in motion in the
usual manner and the beam is trans
ferred to the spot where it is wanted,
When it is fairly placed in its new po-
sition the current switch Is turned of
and the action of the magnet ceases.
The only reason why such magnets
have not been long in use is because of
the fear that the load would drop if
there was any temporary failure of the
current. This is always possible,
though it is becoming less so every day
with the improvement in electrical APP
paratus,
To guard against accidents the insu-
lated coils are Enclosed in water-tight
brass casing and the whole magnet is
covered In with half-inch sheet steel,
II these magnets prove q success when
tested by time larger sizes will be em-
ployed. When used in connection with
electric cranes, which are now becom-
ing common. only two hand switches
will be required TO move iron or steel
loads. OF course loads of other ma
terial could be picked up equally we'll
by an electro magnet with a heavy keep
er and a hook attached to it for the or
binary sling.-Chicago Chronicle.

QUEEN vicToRIA.s WEALTH.
British Ruler Not Near Sc Rich "a
Popularity

@AH NSA NGAE - RNAcA -
Popularity Supposed.
Some of our transatlantic visitors
? firmly convinced that the queen is
in our own midst there is a general be-
lief that her majesty is very rich-not
ranking in fortune, perhaps, with u
Rothschild OIL q duke Of Westminster or
an Aston, but at all events rivaling a
Jay Gould of a Belt, and magnates of the
second degree The queen was rather
c-onspicuously poor for a princess, and
people have spoken pitifuny of her mar
row lot in her early days. Hen majesty's
civil list is far from being exceptionally
great, and, indeed, it is SO parceled out
that she has but small control of it.
The sovereigns of Austria-Hungary, of
Italy. of Prussia, of Russia and yer of
Spain ave larger incomes from the pub
lie treasury than she. The greater part
of her nominal income from the state Is
appropriated to her household expenses.
Moreover, b q been unfortunate in
not coming of q rich family, 80 that her
estates might be built up by inheritance,
as il the case with continental mon
archs, and she has had many poor rela-
ton to provide for. It Is said hat the
prince consort left an estate of 6 $780, 900,
in which the queen shared largely, and
the Saxe-Coburg family is far from be-
ing in need. But in 1888 her majesty's
private secretary, Sir Henry Ponsonby,
who ought to be q good authority, said
of the queens private affairs: "She has
invested no money in ground rents, nor
does she possess a million to invest.
Yet the queen enjoys a large income
from the duchy of Lancaster; also for
the IS years of his minority she had the
custody of the prince Of Wales Corn
wall estates. She owns 37,372 acres of
fairly productive lands in Great Britain
and possesses considerable property in
Germany. But all these known facts
will not provide for the enormous es-
tate with which she is credited. The
probabilities are hat her majesty's
wealth has been exaggerated. but what
it is will never be known, as the queens
last testament will never be probated.

very queer fish was recently captured
by a Cape Cod schooner. The monster
for its weight is 900 pounds-is pop
ularly known as the elephant fish. 1T
has ears like the African elephant and
an eye as big as a cows" says the dis
patch. Its general shape is like that
of a fatish, and it has large fins and a
small, round mouth. The skin is light
moss color and its length from nose
to tail is six feet. The creature is 10
inches thick.-Chicago Tribune.
