Strange African Race.

Queer stories are told of the Dokos who live among the moist, warm. barn- boo woods to the south of Kaffa and SuSa ln Africa. But four feet hiph of dark olive color savage and naked they have neither houses, temples. tir. nor human food. They eat mice, and serpents. diversified by a few roots and fruits. They let their nails grow 1ono like talOns, the better to dig fol. ants and the more easily to tear in niacee their fayOrite snakes.
 The Dokos used to be inyaluahlo oo slaves, and they were taken in Iorco numbers. The slave raiders usad 9o hold up brtght-colOred cloths as +bo,r, came to the woods where these b,,r -, monkeys still live, and the noor ns1lN-- could not resist the attrar ciops ,o offo,,o, T by such superior people ,rhol. crowded around them, and Wore +o1-oS in thousands.
 These people have a queer bahi+ ot speaking to Yer with their heads on +ba ground and their heels in the air yo. is their 'dea of q superior Dnvar = whom they talk in this comical yo,. when they are dispirited or vexod or tired of ants and snakes. The Do1-o. seem to come nearest of all peonla voc discovered to that terrible cousfn to humanity, the ape.

The Lions Roar.

Doctor Livingstone noted the odd re semblance of tke lions roar to that of the ostrich. MT. Miliais says that though the roar of the latter is not so loud, it has exactly the same tone As that of the lion. But the ostrich al ways roars his best, the lion very seldom. That is partly because a ''gOOd' rear needs a great physical effort. The whole interior and muscles of mouth, throat, stomach and abdO- men are, for the moment, converted in to an organ of terrific sound, and the sound does make the earth tremble-or appear to do so. But the attitude is not that usually drawn. Uuless he roars lying down, when he puts his head up, like dog barking, the lion emits his first moan i'll any position, then draws in his neck and lowers his head with ex- tended paws, as if about to be violent ly sick: while at the same time the hack is arched, and the whole animal bears an appearance of concentrated strain.
 This is Captain Millais' phonetic rendering of the sound, taken when listening to three lions roaring tbeir best. "MOan-roar-r-o- roar grunt- grunt- grunt- grunt dying away)." Why lions roar, when it ought to pay better to keep silent. is not yet explained. General Hamilton was convinced that tigers hunting in company roar to confuse and frighten the deer. Possibly the lion roars when prOwling around a camp in the hope of causing some of the draft an- imals to break loose; at other times if appears to be a form of conversation with others at a distance.

A piano on an entirely new principle is announced from Germany. The strings are stretched across the sound ing-board as in the ordinary piano, but the entire hammer mechanism is alb sent. Instead, the depressing of the keys puts in action a magnet, which automatically attracts and releases the wire, thus producing vibrations with out the metallic stroke which accom- panies the sound in the common type
 The resulting effect upon the tones is said to be very remarkable The high notes resemble those of an AeOlian harp. The middle and lower notes are like those of a cello or an organ. It responds readily to every variation in power and expression. A note can be sounded for several minutes without varying in quality. So radically differ ent from all existing instruments are the effects that new style of music is needed to bring out its capabilities.

About three weeks ago, according to the London Economist. there was on deposit in the joint stock banks of En- gland and Wales the sum of f5j0,0O0,- eco of the peoples savings. Before Americans become too much astOnish- ed at these enormous figures it should be added that they show falling off as compared with the figures of the previous half year. Otherwise they represent a steady increase from 1886 when the total was f323,000,000 Be sides this there is in the banks of Ire land and Scotland f141, 100000 and f2,500,OC0 hOarded up in the banks on the Isle of Man and the channel isl andS. Foreign and colonial houses having London offices show the sum of f243 100000 on their books, and private bankers are estimated to have E3O,- 500,000 on hand. Therefore, there is on hand the sum of f9S7 100000 of uniu- vested wealth in the British islands This Is a showing which probably can not be eXcelled, unless it is in thrifty France

A Winter i'm old London.

The following account of life in Lon don during q severe winter in Queen Elizabeth's time is from John Bennett's $ serial Master Skylark,' in St. Nicho- | las:
 -Thcn-cu1.lc a udT, 7.5H mist and fog 50 thick that people were lost in their own streets, and knocked at their next door neighbor's gate t0 ask the way home. All day long. down by the Thames drums beat upon the wharves and bells diug-donged t0 guide the wat ermen ashora, bU- most of those who needs must fare 3hrOad went over Lon- don bridge, because there, although they might h no wise see, it felt, at least, as if the world were still beneath their feet.
 At noon the air was muddy brown, with bitter taste like watered smoke; at night it was q binding pail; and though, after mid-DeceulDer, by order of the Council, every alderman and bur gess hung [ light before his door, torches, links and candles only sputter ed feebly in the gloom, of 10 more use than jack-o-lanrarTs c0ue aStray, and none but bIiDd men knew the roads.
 The city watch was dOUbled every where; and all night long their shouts went up and down" lis what o'clock, and a foggy nigh. and right and left their hurryirg slaves cane humping helplessly along the walls to answer cries of "AIurderr' and of "Help! Watch! Help Tor under cover of the fog great gang of thieves came down from Hampstead Het11, and robberies were done in the most trequented thor oughfares, betn cen the very lights set I'D by the corporation; so nat it was dangerous to g. about save armed and vary as cat in a crowd.
 While such foul days endured there was no singing at St PauIs, nor stage plavs anywhere, save at Blackfriars n,av house, which was rOofed against the weather. And even here at last the fog crept ln through cracks and crannias undl the players seemed but moving shadows talking through a choking cloud; and Master Will Shaks- peare's famous new piece, Romeo and Juliet" which had been playing to crowded houses, ta1-tng en pound twelve the day, Was fairly smothered off fho hOaYdxy

A Florida newspaper, commenting upon the intention of Virginia to erect a statue to Edgar Allen Poe, makes the trite remark that Poe has builded for himself a monument more enduring than brass in the poems which he left as a legacy for the world. That is no argument against the statue. All our great writers have left behind them monuments of that sort, but aside from one or two poems, not considered by good judges to be his best, Poe is 8 sealed book to millions of the people of this country. It is no rash statement to say that he Is far better known and understood in France and England thap he is in the land of his birth.

Folly of Military Staffs

As the various Governors rode by on horseback in the Grant memorial day parade. each i'll plain dress. but at tended by brilliant military staff. the question was natural, what iS the us, of all that: Why should the eA- l ccutivcs of States of the union be or ganized on the basis of sonorous tiles l and gay uniforms? The national ex- ecutive is simplicity itself in its dem l ocratic unpretentiOuSneSS. The eX- ecuttves of the great American nun icipalities present themselves before the pubic with the dignity of quiet re ticence Our State Governors alone in American public life swing out with 8 parade of unrealities. If the Governor of State were first of all military officer if the States were primarily armed camps instead of citizens il business. then the military staff woulG have d reasona bleneSs.

The report of the State geologiSt of
 Indiana for the past year has just been
 published, and it fOrebodes the failure of the natural gas heIds at no distant day. The territory that now produces
 natural gas includes a region of about l 2,500 square miles, and no new discOv- cries have been made or are now likely to be made A decrease in the pressure
 was first noticeable in 1895, and it is still diminishing It would not be sur
 prising therefore that if within a year
 or two the supply would be so much di- unfinished that the general use of the gas
 would have to be abandoned. Such was
 the case with the gas fields of western
 Pennsylvania, and such will probably
 be the fate of the Indiana field. It will
 be remembered that the Pennsylvania
 fields, though long known, or at least
 suspected were not extensively oper-
 ated until 1878, and it was not until
 1884 that the gas was piped to Pitts
 burg Then it was that the Smoky City
 became smokeleSS, but this did not last
 long. A few years and the wells be came exhausted and smoke once more reigned supreme in the city of iron. steel and coal. The gas fields of Indiana were discovered in 1887, and now after ten years they too will become thing of the past Nature seems to have no continuing gas manufacturing. After having made a supply and deposited it in pockets she broke the retorts and gave up the business. Those who are dependent on natural gas for heat and | light are amply forewarned by this re- port that they must be on the alert for an artificial substitute. Natures lab | oratory Is broken up.
