The Viking Shin.

Within a short walk from the palace
in Christiania, Norway, is the great
University with it's museums. The
museums we found closed, with the
exception Of a frame building, in
which is one Of the most interesting
things in all Scandinavia. The vagt-
master (caretaker) here was woman;
and as she opened the door for us we
saw, stretching from one end of the
building to the other, the only real
viking ship in existence. 1t is l03
feet long and ten feet wide.
1t was built somewhere between
800 and 1000 years ago, and was
discovered in 1880, at the mouth Of
the Christiania Fiord, embedded in
blue clay. You know, it was custom
ary in the time of the vikings, when a
great chief died, to draw his ship up
on the beach, build sort of grave
chamber in her, lay him in his rude
shelter, with those of his worldly
goods which he was supposed to need
in the next world, and make q mound
of earth over the whole thing. Some
times he would be placed on his ship,
which was headed out to sea with all
sail on, after being set on fire.
The chief who was buried in this
vessel must have been a great hero,
for the bones Of at least twelve horses
and six dogs, and the remains of gold
articles were found in the ruins. Rob.
beers had broken into this mound at
some time, otherwise there would have
been many more interesting relics to
show with the ship.-St. Nicholas.

His horns are straight and sharp; and

With oil its superiority in distances,
the Photograph is too uncertain for sole

to interrupt the clearest signals, per-
haps in the critical moment of battle;
or sun haze may render invisible
the rays from the largest mirror; so
that, at any time, without clear
atmosphere, the system is useless.
1t is not known that the photographic
system has ever been in use on ship
board, and the sea service has moth
ing for daylight signaling that ap-
proaches its accomplishment in dry
atmospheres. For night service at
sea the hashlight appears to be the
best system Of signaling in all
weathers, though, on rare occasions,
the long beam of the electric search
light thrown up on the sky has proved
effective for communication when it
was possible by no other means. An
instance of such use was reported a
few years ago by two British ships,
which, while on opposite sides of a

Of noble Spanish blood in the bull

have consisted in an exchange of the

Pedro Romero, first, threw aside
every kind Of protection. appearing as
gymnast, light, graceful and exact;
and secondly, to eounterbalance the
obvious disadvantage, hit upon the
device Of ''tiring out" the bull by q

very dangerous method Of killing the
animal, q single sword-blow, which
must penetrate q certain spot behind
the shoulder Of the bull, while the
bull-fghter perilously faced him. How
much this was "degenerating'' from
the prudence Of the old aristocrats
who. in their knightly armor, speared
the bull from the backs Of their war

NEGROES NOT WANTED.

Several Texas Counties.

TExARKANA, ARK.--For some tiEcl
past unknown parties have been poet.1
ing notices in the cotton fields in I'll
tus, Grayson and other Texas counties
warning the negro cotton pickers To-
leave the country. Near Mount Pleas.
ant two negroes were killed from am
bush, and many of the colored resi-
dents fled. Several negroes who went
into Texas from Texarkana to pick cot
ton returned, saying notices had been
posted warning them away. These
negroes were sent from here by Mayor
Hardin. Since that time, however
several hundred negroes have been
sent out from here, and many of them
still remain. On September 3rd, the
citizens of Mount Pleasant, held q
meeting and adopted resolutions to-
Join with Sheriff Dixon in suppressings
the trouble. District Attorney R. d.
Hart, Of TexarLana. was there, and
from the standpoint that was made,l
the unknown white caps in that local
ity gave way to law and order. The
notices are still being posted, however,
and large numbers of negroes are
leaving through fear, and are going
into the Indian Territory. It is now
believed that the trouble at Mount
Pleasant will be stopped so that the
men can return to their ungathered3
crops. But violence may yet be possia
bic. Negroes who claim to have been
driven out Of other localities say that
the white caps hide in the field where
the cotton pickers are at work, and fire
into them with bird shot and when the
negroes fee, the white caps quickly
ride away i'll an opposite direction.
