Cannot Count Three.
From the New York Herald.

From the New York Herald.
An expedition recently sent out from Eng
land to the Murray Islands has brought
some interesting information about the is
landers. These primitive people, it appears,
cannot count higher than two. "Netat" is
their word for one and NETS" for two
When they want to say three they say
"one-two" (netat-nets), and when they
want to say four they say ''two-two'
(nets-nets).
Higher figures than these they express by
means of their bodies Thus they began TO
count from the little finger of the left hand
and proceeding thence to the other fingers
they successfully reach the wrist the arm
the shoulder, the collar bone, the chest the
right shoulder, the right arm, the right
wrist and finally the fingers of the right
hand. In this way they can count as high
as thfrty-one.
When they want to express a higher
number than this they can only use the
word "gaire," which signifies many This
ancient method of counting. however, is
fast disappearing. thanks to the strenu-
Gus efforts which the English are making
to teach the islanders the ordinary rules
OF arithmetic. Ethnologists therefore are
especially glad that information about this
ancient method of counting has come 10
them just as 1t was on the point of disap-
pearing forever.

HAIR TURNED WHITE.
A Well shooter Relates n Terrible Ex-
perience With High Explosives.

From the Chicago Chronicle.
"Nftroglycerine, sir; high explosives, ac-
complished it, said a well-dressed man
with a youthful face and snow-white hair
to chance acquaintance at the Great
Northern.
But your face is not SCARED? 1t would
seem that an explosion
AN impending explosion it was. Two
years ago l was the most successful we'll
shooter in America. 1 could make the oil
loosen up where others had failed. The
secret lay in the explosives | employed.
made them myself and had the business
down fine At that time 1 went to New
York to figure on a big blasting contract
that would have made me pile. failed
to make the arrangement and the very day
the negotiations fell through started sud
denly for England on similar mission.
Is there such a thing as high eXplo-
sives ripening? asked the Englishman l
was accompanying, on the second day OF
our voyage.
1.-The question brought me to my feet and
caused an exclamation of horror to escape
from my lips. Many explosives undergo a
ripening process, which adds greatly to
their destructive power, at the same time
decidedly increasing the danger of handling
them. That made by me was of this char
acter; indeed, twenty-five days after it was
compounded it was almost certain to ex-
plode of its own volition, so to speak. Now,
on the upper shelf of the check room Of my
New York hotel had left large grip con-
tanning a twenty-pound can of this COM
pound the ripening Of which meant de-
structiOn and death.
For an hour l was almost in a state of
frenzy, freely denouncing myself as multi
murderer. In vain drew an awful picture
of the devastation that would overwhelm a
certain New York hotel in exactly seven
teen days, and called upon the captain to
put his ship about. He promised to trans
fer me to a westbound steamer If an oppor-
tunity presented itself, but fortune failed
me, and I was obliged to cross the ocean.
On the morning of the twenty-fifth day of
the life of my ripening high explosive 1
sprang from carriage and rushed into the
hotel.
mo reprieved murderer ever experienced
greater joy than 1 did as 1 saw the last of
the terrible fluid disappear in a catch basin.
Ten minutes later 1 started back from the
mirror of the hotel bar where 1 had gone
for 'bracer,' in absolute dismay. My jet
black hair had turned white as snow.'

A special to the Chicago Times Herald
from Ka6nsas City, Mo-, says:
Capt T. ]. Weldon of Kansas City has

Capt. Weldon commanded the gunboat
Tuscumbia. He entered the Mississippi ma
rine service in 1862 and served until the
close of the war without losing day.
When he was told to go home and wait for
orders his home was in Lafayette, Ind. He
has lived III Kansas City many years. Capt.

WAR WITH BOERS
SEEMS Imminent.
Intense Excitement Prevails in
England Today.
BOERS WANT EXPLANATION.

London, Sept. THE Trans
vaal crisis is the absorbing topic
for discussion here today. All
eyes are turned toward tomorrow's
cabinet meeting.
All the officials of the colonial
Office worked steadily nearly all
night.
There is a well defined belief
that Kruger has all along been
aiming to make the sovereignty
of England over the Transvaal
the chief issue. The cabinet meet
ing tomorrow will probably frame
an ultimatum to the Transvaal
government.
Dispatches from Pretoria de-
claring that the Beers asked for
an explanation for the mobilization
of British troops on their border,
caused great sensation.
The Boer press declares it is a
tacit declaration of war.
Intense interest is manifested
here in every step taken by the
British government.

Weekly Crop Bulletin.
Denver, Sept, 5, 1899.

The weather conditions have
been favorable for maturing, har-
vesting. stacking and thrashing
grain. In San Luis Park and
other elevated districts a continua-
ton OF warm weather is essential
to the maturing of crops. Wheat
is yielding better than expected
and the damage by rust and smut
was confined to small areas The
oat crop in irrigated districts is of
average quantity and excellent
quality. Corn is maturing salts
factorily and. though many upland
and unirrigated fields are being
cut for fodder, the crop as whole
will be nearly, if not quite, up to
the average Potatoes are gener-
ally good stand and well "set,"
but the exceptionally hot and dry
weather of the past two weeks has
developed tendency to blight in
some sections. Millet has been
