A French officer, conducting an ex-

the rivers which flow into the Congo,
tells the following pathetic story of a
negro slave:
One night while we were in camp
there came from the jungle youthful
voice crying out to our boatman in the
Yakoma tongue: "Halloa, Sangos! Do
you know on the Ubanqui the Yakoma
chief Dembassi of the village of Di-

Analysis of Instinct,

An English traveller in Northern Rus
sia, telling how he made his way
through forest after a fall of snow
simply by keeping that side of the tree
to which the snow clung always in the
same relation to his course, is led to
examine how it is that savage gains
the instincts of his race.
We often hear of 1.-The instinct of d.
rection," as we may call it, possessed so
marvelously by savage races. People
profess to explain it in one of two ways
1t is either said that the Indian actual
ly does take note of the sun, the wind,
the lay of the land, of the course Of the
streams-which, as fact, it is often,
In the dense forest, impossible for him
to door else it is set down simply as
instinct" and this, although it is near
er the mark, is, in a sense. to beg the
question.
Instinct, however it NAV be in tho
case OF animals, is here, no doubt bered-
ltary experience. The sun, the wind,
the streams are influences, but only
that. The Indian does not conscionslv
observe them. Just as you, using an
experience gained in daylight. can fol
low without hands in the dark a wind
ing staircase between the baluster and
the wall, SO with the Indian in his
forest.
His observation" is entirely subject
i've, an unconscious impression, the sum
of small influences, to which, by hered-
ity, his senses are alive, as the retina to
light pictures. In the same way had
not consciously remarked the lay of the
snow on the trees, yet the fact kept me
from going astray.

THIS ROAD rs A MINT
MARINE RAILWAY NEAR NEW
YORK is UNIQUE.
It Ia Only one-ha1f Mile In Length,
but It Has a Monopoly of Good
Business and Earns Great Deal of
Money.

The .leath of Mr.. Vanderbilt brought
back to my memory recollections of
Austin Corbin. My attention was re-
Gently called to the least known enter
prise which the late Mr.. Corbin found

Is the richest railroad in the world The
road is within half an hours ride from
New York and is known as the Marine
Railroad. The entire distance covered
by this road is barely quarter of a
mile, and the fare is the uniform and
small rate of cents. The road serves
to connect the two summer resorts
Manhattan Beach and Brighton Beach.
The trip over the road occupies only a
minute with the comparatively slow
locomotive, two of which, with two
ears, make up the entire rolling stock
of this wealthy road The road has
been an absolute monopoly of traffic,
though, between the two beaches,
which are connected by a narrow strip
Of land. This strip Mr.. Corbin, wise
man that he was, built his road on and
issued orders that any one who wanted
to walk alongside the roadbed was TAX

this season number of special officers

a walk of at least three miles. hence
the profit accruing from the Marine
Railroad. The road operates only three
months year, but during these three
months it carries on an average $4,000
or 10000 passengers week. Last
Fourth Of July the two engines and
two coaches carried 2s,000 persons at
cents, and no half fares for children
either. The staff lis In keeping with the

months of the season do not exceed
So, 900. In 1891 the road is said to have
cleared $57, 900 above all expenses. Its
capital is $4,000, and. according to one
Of its stockholders, it has cleared up
wards of 81 1,00O,O 900 for the sharehold-
ers during its existence, q dividend of
250 per cent. per annum. The hundred
dollar shares are therefore worth in the
of $4,000, higher prem
ium than that commanded by Chemi-
can Bank stock, which is usually con-
sidered to be the most remarkable in
vestment in that respect. That the

small as the staff of the road can be
easily imagined, and that none of the
stock is for sale Is also self-understood.
In one respect the miniature railway
resembles the miniature states of An
DORA and Sam Marine. One never hears
about Philadelphia
Telegraph.

FATAL AGE OF THIRTY-sEvEN.

Many of the Worlds Great Men Have
>uccum bed When Only 7 hat Age.
The age of 81 is particularly fatal
age. An examination of the records of
the United States government shows
that more people die at that age than
any other after attaining their major
ity. 1t Is also ascertained that more
misfortunes overtake persons at that
age than at any other time in their lives
and that few fortunate events befall
them.
An examination of history develops
the same thing. At the age Of 81 a
great sorrow befe1l Aristotle, the death
of Plato, his friend and teacher, with
whom he hadestudied for nearly twenty
years. This sorrow plainly showed its
may be attributed the sad tone of his
later writings.
1t was at the age Of 81 that Lord
Byron died of fever at Greece. As
Lord Beaconsfeld says he was greater
as a man than as writer and his loss
to the world was great blow to it."
Raphael, the glory of Italian art, died
at 81. He fell sick a week before his
birthday of cold and fever and died on
that day, Good Friday. In him the
world lost one Of it's greatest artists.
In music, like art and poetry, En-
gland lost her greatest composer at
the age of 81. Purcell, the most dis
tinguished musician Britain produced.
died within few days after attaining
his thirty-seventh year. The regard in
which he was held in England placed
him on par with Milton in epic poetry,
with Shakespeare on the stage, Locke
in metaphysics, and Sir Isaac Newton
in philosophy and mathematics.
1t was at the age Of 81, too, that En-
gland lost a military genius that she
regarded as Of the highest rank and
promise. Prince Henry of Battenburg
died of fever in Ashantee in that year
of his life.
PASCAL. too, died at 81, but why seek
more illustrations? These are sufficient
to illustrate the fatality of the age
among geniuses. Where death failed
misfortune often befell.
So the age of 81 may be regarded as
the fatal age of all those after man
passes his majority.

saved Through CHEST.

In 1886 Mohammed Balba usurped
the crown of Granada in spite of the
superior claims of his elder brother
Jussef. He was very unsuccessful in
his conduct of the war against the
Christians and was at length assassi-
mated by poison absorbed through his
skin from a shirt. He entertained
desperate dislike to the brother whom
no had injured, and when he knew
that his own fate was sealed he sent an
order to the governor of the prison in
which Jessuf was confined that he
should be executed Immediately.
When the order arrived Jessuf was
playing chess with the chaplain of the
prison. With great difficulty Jessuf
obtained respite from the governor
permitting him to finish the game.
Before it was ended, however, news
came that the usurper had died of the
poison. This cancelled the order of
execution. and Jussef, instead of going
to the scaffold, mounted the throne.

Curious ways of Marking Tim.


The islanders of the South Pacific
have no clocks, but make curious
time-marker of their own. They take
the kernels from the nuts of the candle
tree and wash and string them on the
rib of palm leaf. The first or top ker-
mel is then lighted. AL the kernels are
of the same size and substance, and
each will burn a certain number of
minutes and then set fire to the next
one below. The natives tie pieces of
bark cloth at regular intervals along
the string, to mark the divisions of
time. Among the natives of Singan.

CLIMATE SHOWS FEW CHANGES.

Weather Conditions Now About the
Same an In Ages Past
This subject Is Of extreme interest
and merits most thorough study. We
find the "early" and the 'latter" rain
to-day in Palestine precisely as de-
scribed $500 years ago. Jordan over
flows all its banks" in February to-day
exactly as it did in Joshua's time,
thirty-three centuries ago. Plants
taken from mummy cases in Egypt,
which must have been gathered more
than 5000 years since, are practically
of the same size and have the same ap-
pearance as those growing to-day. Rec
ords of vintages in France over TOO years
show practically the same dates as to-
day. Actual observations Of rainfall
for over 200 years in France show no
change. Observations of temperature
for almost 200 years at st. Petersburg
show no change appreciable to us,
though, of course, the earliest observa-
tions were extremely crude and some
what unreliable. Facts of this kind
might be adduced to fill a small vol
ume. On the other hand, we have rec
ords Of most extraordinary cold
weather In ancient times. One winter
the light wine in France froze. An
other winter the River Po froze over
SO as to bear teams, an unheard-of
phenomenon to-day. In this journal
recently it is stated that "Parnassus
covered with 1t in classic antiquity"
Also 'sthe name of Greenland, which
strikes US as so singularly. inappropri-
ate, was not inapplicable at the time 1t
was named, In the fourteenth century"
1t is entirely probable that descrip-
tions of the cold in ancient times were
much exaggerated. Parnassus and
Socrate have snow at times, and, in
earlier days, when protection against
the cold and snow was much less than
now, little snow would go long way.
The earlier voyagers from Iceland,
more than 1000 years ago, leaving a
land of almost perpetual Ice and snow,
and reaching a land in the summer
with its beautiful green color to their
unaccustomed eyes. would very nat

Was Granted in 164S by the General
Court of Massachusetts.
To the general court Of Massachu-
setts belongs the honor of granting the
first American patent; this was in 164S
and was then designated as monopoly.
1t was confined to the region controlled
by Massachusetts and the one issue ap-
parently included all the invention of
the inventor connected with engines
that depended upon water for their mo-
tive power. The limit of the monopoly
was fourteen years and the court not
only retained power to forbid exporta-
ton, but to prevent exorbitant charges
upon the public for their use.
The patent was issued in this form:
