AN AFRICAN POISON STORY
Strange Phenomenon Witnessed h the
 Northeast Of the Dark Continent.

Northeast of the Dark Continent.
 Charles 1I Storn of Chicago. who re- turned to this city after journey through northeast Africa. told of | curi- ous meteorological phenomenon which he observed i'll q district called Gwallah. ''The vegetation in that region is very luxuriant, T said he, tand the plant life must give of an unusually large quan- tity of carboaie acid gus At least that was the conclusion l reached after sec ing three natives die and fonr CT five dogs.
 "Tho momont the animals put their noses close 10 the ground they would fall over and gasp aud die in about five minutes. The natives who died slept on the ground instead of i'll hamnocks, as others did 1 saw hundreds of dead birds. My theory Is that stratum of tho deadly gas covered tue ground for a depth of thrde or four inches aud any living thing breathing in that area would be asphyxiated.
 "l could not pnderstand[ however. how tho gas was not distributed i'll a thinner layer and what kept 1t in ono place for a whole day Nothing like it had ever been known thore before The deaths of the men and the dogs all oc- cured within 24 hours. Then tho gas if it was really gas, seemed Co dissipate. It was yory Srange oecurHenee, and might have been induced to make a mere exhaustive investigation if my presence had not excited distrust got away as quickly as possible rather than be accused of being tho cause of the sudden deaths The natives are super stitious and attribute most of their rais. fortunes to witoheraft, so I thought ie the partof wisdom to get away. n-~New York Mail and Express

MAKING PLATE GLASS,
An Operation That Requires d Deal Of
 Skill and Care.

An Operation That Requires Deal Of
 Skill and Care.
 A visit to plate glass works reveals nothing perhaps more interesting than the casting tables on which the heavy plate glass used in most store windows Is cast The casting tablee, . said the superintendent of large factory, arc the most important pieces of apparatus in this establishment
 Each table is ab0ut a0 feet long. l5 feet wide and from to s inches thick Tho heavy strips of iron on either sia5 of tha tables afford bearing for che rollers and determine Che thickness or diameter of the glass 10 De cast.
 Tho rough plato is commonly nine. Sixtecnths of ai inch thick, but after polishing it is reduced 10 six or seven sixteenths. All casting tables are mount. ed on wheels which run on track made to reach every furnace and annealing oven iii the factory The table having been wheeled as uear as possible to the melCing furnace. | pot of molten glass is lifted hy means of crane and its contents poured quickly on tho table
 \ heavy iron roller then passes from end o end. spreading tho glass to uni form thickness This rolling operation has to Do done by expert hands quickly as the boiling glass, when it comes in contact with tho cold metal of the table oools very rapidly When the rolling process has been completed. the door of the maealing oven is opened and the plate of glass is introduced.
 The floor Of tho annealing even Is on fha same level as tue wheels Of the cast ing table, so that the transfer can be made by rail quickly When the glass is ready to be taken ont of the oven, it's surface is ve'y rough. h this condition it is used for sSyhghts and other pur- poses whore strength is desired rather than transparency, but when intended for windows it is ground, snoothed and polished and is then ready for the mar. kas.

THE P0ST0FFIGE.

The editor of the GRAPHIC was in- vited, during the postohice cam paign, to sign some Of tho petctions of applicants for appointment, but being q Democrat. we respectfully but emphatically declined to do any thing of the kind. Now, since the recommendation Of Ferd Hapis for the appointmen by Republican State Executive Committee for Post. master at Pine Bluff, we have been solicited by q number of friends to sign protest against said appoint ment. But we shall dc nothing of the sort. The editor of the GRAPHIC Is q Democrat, and supported Mr. Bryan in the last campaign. As a nemocrnt we have nothing whatever to do with the appointment of Re publican postmaster at Pine Blaff, and we don't propose to get mixed up in any Republican rneas over the spells of office. Let those who supported Mckinley and the Me kinley Aid Society, better known as the Palmer md Bnckncr Democrats, fight it out among themselves. They need not appeal to straight ticket Democratic paper like the GRAPHIC for either aid or comfort. They supported Mckinley either directly or indirectly during the last cum. paign and now It them take their medicine. The res possibility is on their heads, not ours They might havo known then, as they must see now, that the Republican party is as much in favor Of negro domina- ton in tho South at present as in the past.
 It will be readily observed that some of thosc who arc most active in acarrying il to the President  are recaloitrant Democrats who op- posed the late straight ticket in be- half of Republican compromise in this county, aud who either sup. ported Mckinley or Palmer in the last National campaign. They sowed to the winds and arc now reaping the uhirlwinds. The fruit is the harvest of their own folly We are sorry for them, but we can help them. However. the recon mendaiion of Havis may bring them to their reason, and show them the error or their way. It may be a bitter pill for them to swallow, but the more offensive is Havis' ap. pointment, the greater il will re- dound to the interest of the Demo- cratic Darty jn the south There are alsoa number of Northern Re pubioans in the South who vote with the Democrats in State and County affairs. The appointment of Havis as postmaster Of Pine Bluff cant fail to make better Democrats out Of tbis class of citizens.
 The GRApHIe's advice, therefore, to those who arc disgruntIed over Havts recommendation, .s. to take their medicine with the best grace possible and profit in the future by their experience.
