SHOUTED MESSAGES.
voices of Native Runners in the
Transvaal Travelled Faster
Than the kilograms.

And how do you suppose the out
side world knew all about what was
taking place IN Ladysmith, even when
the Beers were surrounding 1t on all
sides and no one could get out? There
are three ways by which this beleag-
uered town sent messages. First Of
these is the heliograph. which is really
telegraphinR by means of flashes of
light-rehections of the sun on q
mirror in the day time. artificial light
being used at night. The most useful
method SO far hes proved TO be the
carrier pigeons For years these little
birds have been trained, and when re-
leased with the messages, written on
the thinnest OF paper and tied carefully
TO their legs. they sailed straight
through the air TO Durham, back TO
the little dove cotes where they were
brought up. and from there the news
was cabled sll over the world.
TIE strangest and most interesting
method Of all is Of Zulu origin. Native
runners are employed 10 shout the

FATE OF THE FUR BEARERS,
The Demands of Fashion Is Surely
Accountable for Their Grad
unI Extinction.

When is the present craving Of wom.
en- for furs going to end? Not before
many species Of animals nave become
extinct The demand for furs has
been constantly on the increase,
which means that the trade has ex,
tended. 1t will thus plainly be seeE
chat the number OF animals killed
yearly for their furs must amount'tG
millions.
No animal that has been provided
by nature with coat of fur is safe
from the hunter. 1t is not alone in
America and few countries of Eu-
rope that this is true. Almost every
country in the world kills off its ma
tive animals for the same purpose
Siberian hares furnish valuable furs,
and the whole year round hunters are
constantly on the look out for them,
killing great numbers for the market.
Sea otters provide the means of ex-
istence to thousands OF people in
Alaska and the Aleutian islands. So
great is the slaughter of these ami
mails that the species is gradually be-
coming extinct. The same is true to
even greater extent of the seal, and
the day will come, unless very
stringent protective measures are
used, when the seal win be thing of
the past.
Of all animals the muskrat fur
nishes the greatest number of skins.
The skunk, marten, polecat, ermine
and fox also largely supply the mar
ket. The silver fox, found in Alaska,
Siberia and Labrador, brings hand
some sum to such as are lucky enough
TO kill one. One thousand dollars is
paid for good skim

FOOD FOR THE THINKER.

No man can vote intelligen.ly
unless he.thinks intelligently. In
this time of "wars and rumors oi

gent thinking and the best food
for intelligent thought is that
newspaper which is the greatest
and best. Important political is
sues are daily growing more i'm

standing of the policy of the ma
tion or a great political party is
something to be desired, and it is
the duty of every citizen to thor
oughly inform himself upon the
leading topics of the day.
The Semi Weekly Republic is
the greatest Of all newspapers. Its
telegraphic and cable news service
excells that Of any other paper. 1t

birds from the wanton slaughter
of the indiscriminate sportsman.
The insect. eating birds have been
killed out till one can hardly tnd
specimen of apple, peach,
pear, plum or any other fruit that
is not injured by the ravages of
worms. And worse still our
forests are being rapidly depleted
of songbi-ds and birds of gay
plumage to satisfy the craze for
bird millinery adornments. The
native songsters along the creeks
and among the orchard trees, and
wherever there is the protection Of
shrub or bush in this country are
as fine az can be found in the

Whale AND SCHOONER.

SAN FRANCISCO, July pa mon
ster whale struck the pilotboat Bon
tia head on at ga o'clock Friday
night sick miles southeast of the Far
allon Islands. causing the vessel to
leak so badly that she sank six hours
later Ii was thrilling experience for
the pilots and men on the Bonita
They were thrown down with consid-
cradle violence, and the man at the
wheel was so badly scared, according
to one of the pitts, that he could rot
speak for FIVE minutes. Pilots Swan
son. Scott. Wallace and Miller were on
the Bonita at the time, all but Miller
in the cabin, and on deck were Pilot
Miller and the FIVE sailors.
The school of whales was first no
ticed by the pilots on the Bonita when
they were moving down toward the
German bark ]. c. Piuger, which Pilot
E. N. Freeman was to board. There
were at least forty of the big fellows,
and all seemed to be wild, and were
splashing around in the water at
great rate.
After Freeman had boarded the bark
the boat again got in the school OF
whales, and ii was then that-the disaS-
trous blow from one of the mammals
was struck. The men were below deck,
just beginning to retire, when they
heard terrific noise, as though the
port side of the boat had been torn
away, and ii was only moment before
all were on deck. Even before they
reached the deck they were satisfied
among themselves that one Of the
whales had done the business. Though
willing to save the pretty little boat,
If possible. it was soon seen that the
leak was a fatal one. and that there
was nothing to do but to take to the
yawls. After watching the Bonita dis
appear up to the tops OF her masts, the
pilots and men rowed to the Oracle S,
which was cruising at a distance of ut
least six miles from the point where
the Bonita was when she sank.

TRANSPORT HANCOCK is
ORDERED TO TAKU.

SAN FRANCISCO, July 25.-The
transport Hancock, which is to sail on
Saturday with artillerymen, marines
and recruits, will sail from here as first
ordered, and proceed direct to Taku.
The orders were received to this effect
yesterday, and the Hancock will be the
first transport to leave here with a
Chinese port as her destination. She
took in more coal yesterday, SO that ii
would not be necessary for her to make
a stop at Nagasaki for Japanese fuel.
Rush orders were received at Mare
Island yesterday to get the GOLFERS
Justin and Nero ready for sea. The
naval vessels on the China station are
In need of coal, and their engineers do
not care for the Japanese product.
The Meade, which sails on Auonss
lst, has been ordered to proceed 10
Manila by way of Nagasaki. 1t was af
first intended to send her to China. as
she carries part of the fifteenth Reci-
ment, the first battalion of which sailed
on the Sumner. The Aztec will sail for
Manila via Honolulu ON August 81.
and the Strathgyle viii sail for Manila
ON the 9Th. Both viii carry horses.
