LAKE IN AFRICAN MOUNTAIN.
Explorer eireumns vlsates the Entire
 Sheet of Water.

Explorer Gireumnsvisates the Entire
 Sheet of Water.
 At meeting of the Royal Geograph- ieal society i'll London an interesting report by Poulett Weatherley on Lake Bangweulu, in central Africa, was read. The explorer eireumnavigated the entire sheet of water 4His party reached the lake in August. 1896, and established a camp at the southeast ern corner 3.765 feet above sea level. The shores of the lake are absolutely free from shells and the water has no depth. He sounded in many places, but never found more than fifteen feet. It's surface was usually still. very strong wind raising the smallest sea. It appears to be nothing but a flooded district. MT Weatherley thinks it was formed by the water from the great watershed of the Tanganyika plateau. The overflow is checked to the west and southwest by a rim of rock, but the east and southeast has no such barrier, and in that direction there is vast swamp from twenty to forty miles in breadth. The Liposochi and Luena to the north and the Chambeze to the east are the chief contributors to the water supply. With twenty-five men he explored the island of M'ba- wala, about twenty miles long and 1000 yards from the shore, and pro- eeeded toward the outlet of the Luca- pu1a, ultimately landing at Krui isl and. After stay of some time on the island, which they found low. beauti- fully wooded, well peopled and culti- Yated, they passed on to Kisi island. This they found not q bit like the Island depicted on the maps. It pre- sented a most peaceful. prosperous sight, and in common with the other two islands, Kirui and M'bawala. it reared good number of sheep-the bfoad-tailed kind-and goats. The people appeared to live life of com plete peace and contentment. Proceed ing in northerly direction, the party reached the extreme north h-northwest corner of the lake. Continuing their journey along the coast, they discov- cred narrow peninsula stretching north and south, having on the west sheet of water about three miles in width, which extends the whole length of Bangweulu north and south, but is always separated from the lake by the isthmus. There was cotton every where, but not in large quantity, and the bark-eloth tree abounded-New York Post

JUSTICE IN CHINA.
A Story of u Hung Chang and Would
 Be Prisoners.


 Of u Hung Chang numberless sto- ries are told in Chinese society. Now and then one reaches this country through our consuls in China. On one occasion when the premier was having a bitter fight with some of the more conservative members of the tsung-H- yamen he received as present mag nificent cake, which he had reason to suspect contained poison. He put the cake aside and set all his powerful machinery to work to find out who was at the bottom of the plot. The Investigation was partly successful. the 2i.ea being traced to three men. Of
 no at least, was absolutely Ii had the trio arrested and
 t to his yamen When they ar- rise.i they were ushered into his pres ence and were received in his courtli- est manner. The cake was produced, with the remark that "politeness for bade his tasting it until the three generous donors had had an opportun- ity to enjoy it's excellence Ii cut the cake and one Of his serYitors handed it to the unwilling guests. Each took piece and ate, or pre- tended to eat it. One erumbled the pieces and let them fall upon the floor. but the other two ate calmly, without manifesting any emotion Ten mihu- utes and the two men began to show symptoms of suffering. Lii smiled be- nignantly and said to the man who had not eaten: Your wisdom is 50 great that I am compelled to pre- serve your head as souvenir to transcendent genius e The man was removed and promptly deeapitated. To the other two the premier remarked: The cake that you are eating is not the one you sent me. but one which l had my cook initiate. The poison from which you are suffering exists only in your imagination. l know of no way to cure your present pain eX- eept by letting you share the same fate as your friend who has just left the room. As they were led away the statesman said to his retinue: It is pity that man who can eat deadly corrosive poison with an un- moved countenance should so misapply the talent wherewith heaven has en- d0wed him.

FLYING ENGINEo TAKE WATER
1 Tanks Are Repfenished While the Loco. motive Is Making Speed.

AhOSAeS ac sNetas
 On many of the railroads eentering at Chicago it is no longer necessary for a train to stop to enable the engineer to replenish his boilers with water. All travellers have now become accustomed to seeing the narrow trough, 1,200 to 1,40o feet long, at various dead level points along the road and they know that the strip of water which it con- tains is scooped up by the engine as it speeds over the tracks But people from foreign countries often ask ques- tions about the water between the tracks and marvel when they hear the story about drinking" the engine on the fly. What seems marvellous me- chanIeai contrivance is an extremely simple thing. A pipe with scoop end is fastened to the tender It is C shaped, with the top end pointing into the water tank and the bottom curled under the body of the tender By series of levers this end may be dropped until. it reaches the level or the ties. When the engine reaches the trough the fireman drops the scoop end, which is s12 inches high and T. inches wide, into the trough, into which it sinks distance Of about six inches CT within an inch of the bottom. Ii may wabble slightly without doing any harm, because the trough is A inches wide. Dropping the end is all that is done for the motion of the en- zine does the rest. The water rushes into tie pipe and thence into the tank with rush and force that suggests to the uninitiated the use of powerful en- zines. The most remarkable thing about the watef-taking scoop. said railroad official. lis the fact that the speed Of the train must be reduced when the water is taken on. l. reaches the bend in the pipe with such force that if the train were allowed to go at its regular speed the metal would be seriously strained, so WE reduce the speed to about thirty miles an hour and have the best results While the engine is passing over the trough at the rate of thirty miles an hour 1t takes up about 1 900 gallons Of water about as much as would be contained in 100 spirit barrels.

PREJUDICE MADE PROFITABLE.
superstition Agalast the opal was Mere.

Superstition Against the Opal Was Mere
 ly a Jewellers Fiction.
 It is only within a few years that the fashionable women of Chicago could be induced to wear opals. although they are among the rarest and most beauti- ful of gems. But now the opal, long tabooed because of it's supposed un- lucky qualities, is reported by dealers in gems to be once more selling well. With this information comes what purports to he the true story Of how so beautiful stone came by it's bad name.
 It seems, according to the story, that Belgian jeweler finding a great de- mand for opals in Brussels, sent one of his salesmen to London to purchase supply. On arriving there this emissary found to his chagrin that the object of his quest was the most popu- that its price was proportionately large Forthwith he conceived the story that opals bring bad luck. He circulated this story diligently, with the surprising result that the much sought stones came to be sedulously avoided, and that their price rapidly declined. In the course of two months opals were selling i'll London for one third of the price previously asked for them, and the astute Belgian prompt ly bought up all there were offered for sale; in fact, all the opals that were to be had. Before the superstition he had started had time to reach the con- tinent of Europe, he had delivered the jewels to his chief, and the firm had placed them upon the market and reaped mammoth profit on the trans action.
 The belief in the ilJ-starred fortune of an opal's owner grew greatly and brought fruit a hundredfold. For twenty-five years past the stone has been almost unstable, in spite of it's beauty. Now someone has unearthed or more probably invented the story Of the Belgian speeulator, and the pendu- lum of popular sentiment has begun to swing in the opposite direction

Movement to Erect Statue Failed.

The movement to erect a statue in memory of Cromwell at Huntingdon, England, where he was born, has ig
 nominiousIy failed. The mayor of the borough, Lord Sandwich, recently in- formed the town council that of the subscriptions which had been received only two reached two figures. These were the subscription of Lord Ripon and himself. Independently of these two sums, the total was under fifty pounds Only five dollars had been raised in America. There was not one subscriber in the borough of Hunting don, and only two or three from the county. About twenty or thirty small sums had been received in England and America. and, as the local committee had done all it could, it was now time, after four months, to close the matter
 He suggested that the best thing would be to return the money to the subscribe CTS, and this course was decided upon.
