inadequate for their protection. If, after
descending, they shoot bears on the ice, or
chance on other warm-coated animals,
they may possibly obtain garments that

SCIENCE AMONG sAvAGEs.
1hibetans Knew Something About
Compressed Air.

From the San Francisco Chronicle
1t has been less than 100 years since civil
lied humanity used many odd devices for
the purpose of obtaining fire. la this
country, then claiming to be "enHghten-
ed" the finder box, with steel and flint,
was the apparatus most generally used.
However if there was no finder box in the
house, the old lint-lock muslet, with d
few grains of powder in the pan, together
with few shreds of paper or creased rags,
was considered a household necessity.
Rubbing sticks together until they were
fired by friction was the method used ~
the savages Of that time ia nearly all che
lands of the globe There was one single
exception, however, to all Of the above,
as well as many other Of the more conn
mon methods OF Striking light" and that
method was practiced by a rude tribe Of
semi-savages inhablting Eastern Thibel
Curious as 1t may SEEM these rude saw

principles, which involved a wonderful

TOUGHEST ISLE IN THE WORLD.
That Is the Chinese Island of Hainan,
If a Returned Missionary Knows.

From the Chicago Inter Ocean.
Hainan. the Chinese island recently
seized by the French. is neither an earthly
paradise nor desirable place Of residence
for foreigners according to the account
given by Rev. Alfred f. Street, who
speaks from a missionary experience of
five years in what he graphically charac-
terizes as "the devils land" Mr. Street
is at present a resident of Chicago, and in
1892, becoming interested in the spiritual
welfare of the Chinese, was sent by the
Presbyterian Board of Foreign Missions
to this far-away dot on the ocean to la
Dor for the conversion of the heather.
"The French have been contemplating
this step for nearly three years." he said
yesterday. "Hainan is rich in minerals,
and the beds of its mountain streams yield
gold in large quantities even when gar
nered by the crude methods adopted by
the natives; Lois as they are called In
the Cantonese dialect. About three years
ago a French savant was sent by his gov
eminent TO explore the mountains of the
south and center of the island. He was
geologist and metallurgist, and was lib
orally supplied with money. He hired
large retinue of Chinese to convey him
prospecting tour but though they accept
ed his wages as long as he would pay,
the savant never succeeded in penetrat-
ing to the place from which the gold he
had secured on the coast had been
brought. 1 must tell you that the Chi
nese are ruled by the densest superst-
tons, and one OF them is that all foreign
devils can see two feet under ground
Every foreigner is a devil in their esli-
nation, and his only possible business In
their country is to seek for treasures.

Sandstone Company, is cutting
stone and putting up chimneys for

w. Va, to the Washington Post says ::
The recount of the votes in Monroe county
was concluded yesterday, and it resulted
in the election of DR.. A. G. Logan (Dem. }
to the legislature by 60 votes. A certifi-
cate was given him, and he cannot be un-
seated unless the Republicans control the
House. In Randolph county, where the
Democrats counted confidently on two
delegates, they will get none. The county
seat fight between Elkins and Beverly is
responsible for this. The county seat row
was the main point in the election, and
men on all tickets were traded by the par
tisans of the two towns.
In an effort to restore the county seat
at Beverly, the Democratic County Com
missioners threw out enough votes al
precincts where irregularities existed tc
keep the county seat at Beverly, but IL
doing this they elected two Republican
delegates, which may be the means O.
