SAVAGE TELEGRAPHY.
A Mystery Which Has Never Been Solved
by White Travellers.

By what occult means do barbarians
transmit news with almost the rapid
ity of lightning? Again and again has
this puzzled the advance forces of civ
ilization. In the Soudan, where the
worlds interest centers now; with the
Indians, on the western frontiers of
the. United States; among the Eslxi-
mos of Alaskar-in fact, with savages
in nearly every quarter of the globe
the facility with which information is
spread far and wide is marvellous.
Only with the utmost difficulty has
the intelligence department of the
British army learned of the movements
of the dervishes. The Egyptians and
other native allies of the English army
seem not to have been possessors of the
uervlshes' secret modes.
On the other hand, Mohammedans
everywhere were informed of the adj
vance upon the Nile of the Anglo-Egyp-
tan army. No more pilgrims are going
to Mecca, but all are flocking to the
green standard of the khalifa.
Long before the tidings of the Gus
ter massacre reached Fort Abraham
Lincoln the Sioux had spread it among
their brethren of the northwest. The
scouts of Crooks column to the south
knew of it in a day or two, and those
with Gibbons, further northwest, were
not long without the information. Ter
rvs Crow scouts told their chief the
next day, and the story was discredit-
ed Two days later, when Terry reached
the battlefield, he found his scouts had
not exaggerated.
In Alaska several years ago naval
lieutenant on exploration ran short of
provisions. He pushed on toward a.
settlement, reducing rations every hour.
When he reached there he found the in
habitants had provided against his COM
ing and had bounteous store awaiting
him. The people in the village were of
a different tribe from those through
whose domain he had passed, and so far
as he could learn were not in commu-
nication with them.-Golden DAYS.

PEOPLE DO READ THE PAPERS.

Possible Reason why Engagement
Announcements Are withheld.
. Some persons wonder why engaged
people generally prefer to keep their
engagements as quiet as possible until
the day of the wedding. Perhaps the
reason lies in the results of a news
paper announcement.
The other day an engagement was
mentioned in one of the afternoon pa
pers. 1t was in the last edition of the
paper, but early the next morning sew
eral awning makers were at the home
of the future brides parents, soliciting
the contract for supplying an awning

Buffalo Man Invents n Machine for
Performing n Dangerous Feat.

Buffalo Man Inyents n Machine for
Performing n Dangerous Feat.
+. T. Wood, of Buffalo, claims he has
devised a machine with which he will
be able to plunge over Niagara falls
and come out alive. Others have tried
to accomplish this and appropriate in
scriptions are on their tombstones.
Woods plan comprises barrel, boat
and a balloon. lie says that it is a
great thing, but he has not the money
to build the machine.
The important part of the machine
is a barrel. At it's side and top there
will be dead lights for the passenger
to look through and a man hole at the
top for entrance. The barrel, which will
be egg-shaped, will be provided with
a rudder. A feature of the stern con-
struction of the barrel will be long,
fat plank, which will protrude several
feet behind and below the barrel. The
Office of the plank is to hold the water
al the brink of the fall and force the
barrel well out and over the brink of
the chasm, so that the weight of the
falling torrents of water will not crush
it. To break the fall of the barrel into
the waters below there is a balloon
device, also an oval of about the same
shape as the barrel and of sufficient lift
ing power to sustain the weight when
the current brings the machine to the

caterers. dressInakers, liverymen, furni-

There is a rule in a livery stable in
New York where only the animals of
the rich are kept that no man shall
shout at the horses. Horses of good
blood are nervous, and loud, excited
conversation is felt by every horse who
hears it, and it keeps them nervous and
uneasy. No man is allowed to use pro-
fame language in the hearing of the
horses.
