A Singular Case.

4 singular case has just been decided in Germany after occupy nearly 8 year in trial. When Prince Bismarck died, two Hamburg photographers bribed a watcher in the room to allow them to take a aash-light picture of the dead chancellor They tried to sell the photograph, but the Bismarck family interfered The photograph itself furnished the evidence which convicted the persons concerned. The men who took the picture did not notice a clock on the wall, which was reproduced in the photograph, and 1e- corded 4he exact moment when the view was taken. II was known who was on watch at that moment, and the faithless watcher gave the names of the photographers. The pictures have been suppressed and the photographers sentenced to jail.

LAKE IN AFRICAN mouNrAyr
Explorer Circumnavigates the Entire
 Sheet of Water,

'hStN OI "atefs
 At meeting of the Royal Geograph- fcal society in London an interesting report by Poulett Weatherley on Lake Bangweulu. in central Africa, was read. The explorer circumnavigated the entire sheet of water. His party reached the lake iu August, 1S96s and established 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 sSsof wind raising the smallest sea. to be nothing but a flooded -. Weatherley thinks it was Is4 8y the water from the great wa @ed of the Tanganyika plateau. The eFerflow 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 a vast swamp from twenty to forty miles in breadth. The Liposoehi and Luena to the north and the Chambeze to the east are the chief contributors to the water supply. With twenty-five men be explored the island of M,ba. Wala, about twenty miles long and l,0a0 yards from the shore, and 3ros eeeded toward the outlet of the Luea. pula, ultimately landing at Ktrui isl- and. After a stay of some time on the island, which they found low, beauti- fully wooded, well peopled and cuiti. Vated, they passed on to Kisi island. This they found not 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 a good number of sheep-the broad-tailed kind-and goats. The people appeared to live a life of com 1lete peace and contentment. Proceed ing in a nortberly direction, the party reached the extreme north-northwest corner of the lake. Continuing their journey along the coast, they diseoY- 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-cloth tree abounded.-New York Post.

PRESERVING CLIFF wELLlNos
Movements to Turn Colorado Region
 Into National Park.

AAbO h NdiiOHdA
 From the Denver Republican: AS B result of a meeting held recently at the residence of Henry Van Kleeek, a bill making the cliff dwellings region in the southwestern part of Colorado a national park will in all probability be introduced at the next convention of congress. Congressman John F. shaf- roth, Judge George T. Sumner, Booth Malone and Dr. Camden M Gobern, gith the host, constituted the meeting Congressman Shafroth went over the details of passing such a bill. and the other men present all of whom have been on the ground, recapitulated all they personally gathered concerning the interesting ruins below Durango Granting that the people living in the agricultural country contiguous to the cliff dwellings made no objections to the settine aside of the land contain ing these prehistoric buildings, and he had received almost an assurance that they would not, MT. shafroth saw no 1mpediment in the way of passing the bill Maps and pictures of the ground and ruins were carefully gone over and studied. While the dimensions of the area were not specified, it is thought that fifteen miles, running northeast and southwest, by four or five miles wide, will include the most important ground without infringing on any pre- cious minerals or agricultural land. Mir. Shafroth made eopious notes to take with him to Washington and will work for the passage of the bill. He advises that no appropriation be asked for in the first measure. It will be sought to make some provision for the care-tak- ing of the ruins. Excavations must be made scientifically and will be restrict ed by license MT. Shafroth will try to enlist the interest of the Smithsonian institution. The matter will be pushed with all possible speed. At the present time tw large exploring parties of 100 members each are being organized -one in San Francisco and one in the east-to visit the Marcos canyon and excavate in the ruins.

SEEMS SLOW NOW.
Zen Miles an Hour by Ran Forty-seven
 Years Ago.

Years Ago.
 "I was greatly interested the other day said q passenger conductor who runs into New Orleans, "in looking over an old schedule of the South Carolina railroad, printed just forty seven years ago, in the fall of '52. It Is hard to realize what tremendous changes have taken place within the memory of the people who are now alive and hearty. In the 50's the South Carolina line was considered one of the best equipped and fastest in the country. l find by the old schedule that the night express between Charleston and Columbia. which is 8 distance of about 130 miles, made the trip, when it had good luck, in 12 hours and 15 minutes, but the public was warned not to expect such feat every day The freight service be- tween the two points was scheduled to cover the run in 29 hours. there or thereaboats That was shade better than four and one-half miles an hour, and was considered so fast that there is a special order to rrainmen to stop at tha first siding in dense fogs and Wait for the same to lift" 1t seems to me that order gives one a wonder ful picture of the good old times. Think of throus l freight roasting on a siding, waiting for fog to lift! Nowadays the passenger trains make the run from Charleston to Columbia in four hours. According to the '52 schedule, there was an express train that left Charleston at ?. m. and arrived in Hamburg at the following morning. The distance is 136 miles. A freight for Aiken, 120 miles away, left at the same hour, and reached it's destination at $40 next night. Ten miles an hour was considered remark able speed for passenger trains in those days. and an old inhabitant told me hat many people declined to risk their necks at such gait From what l near of the rolling-stock equipment, they showed their good sense.

Hen and Terrier.

4. ". Giehm of Sioux City, Iowa. re- gently purchased a sitting of eggs and placed them under an old hen in his hen-house. In the same hen-house lives a terrier. A few days ago the animal gave birth to eight white pup pies, and they were placed in a box in the corner. To the astonishment ot the owner, his hen left her thirteen eggs and placed herself in full charge of the puppies. She has been cuddling the tiny pups under her wings and will allow no one to take them away with out great fight. The mother of the pups is on friendly relations with the hen, it would seem, for she lies on the floor and seems to have no objection to the foster mother. In the meantime the expensive sitting of eggs spoiled

LITTLE KNOWN INDUSTRY.
Oyster and Clam Shells Do Not Go ss
 Waste.

Waste.
 A singular and but little known in- dustry is carried on in this city in the sale of oyster and clam shells. says the New York Tribune. The Ii, lers in this commodity pursue their calling in so transformations a way that it attracts no attention. From the eat ing houses where oysters and clans are consumed the year round the shells are collected by persons who either carry on that business for then. lives or are in the employ of the wholesale dealers. It seems incredible how large an area of ground can be covered many feet deep with the conglomeration of shell and foreign matter that is un- ayoidably collected with it, and appar- ently amalgamates without destroying the characteristics of the harder ma- terial. Seeing q number of carts loaded with shells moving toward tho same point would induce the supposi- tion that more reclaimed land was being filled in with material that would exclude the possibility of such land ever being used as a market garden; or it might he taken for granted that another dump heap was allowed i'll some of the still unoccupied upper west side lots. But if curiosity should lead to investigation 1t would be found that the carts were bound for big yard at Fifty-fourth street and the North river. where they deposited their loads, Every autumn the yard is so filled up that a considerable hill of shells is formed. This being excayated from the bottom as loads are again carried away leaves the mass with the appear. anee of having been geologieaIly formed, and offers a curious sight to the uninitiated How the shells are used is one of the most astonishing things to those ignorant of the value of the material for anything except filling in streets and making beach drives, such as that one famous in the history of Savannah. But this shell suffers a curious change. 1t is sold to the gas-worbs and is used as 3 purifier.
