SEA FISH IN LAKE.
Strange DIscovsrie. in Central Afrssa by
Erv,lnr.r Moore

Strange Discoveries in Central Afrssa by
Explorer Moore.
The problem OF how the apple got
into the dumpling sinks into insignif-
cance beside that OF the jellyfsh. the
crustaceans and Lake Tanganyika; but
j. E. s. Moore, who has just come back
from Central Africa. believes he has
discovered how the fish from the sea
got into the lake in the middle Of the
continent. Mr.. Moore is one of the
young men at the Royal College of
Science, South Kensington. He Vas
leader Of an expedition largely suosl-
di4ed by the Royal Geographical socie-
ty, and after a years march of ever
5000 miles, from the Zambesi to Ugan-
da, he has come back with hundreds of
specimens and several important addi-
tions to the knowledge of Central Al
rica. He has encountered cannibals.
volcanoes and glacier and scaled an
ice-clad peak called "Sitchwi." in the
Ruwenzori mountains, or Mountains
OF the Moon. at a height of about IL, 800
feet. The mountains took ten days to
climb. The peaks of the range are cov
cred with ice to a depth OF hundreds
of feet. for the snow melts in the day
and freezes at night. Mr.. Moore and
che twenty Ujiji boys who accompa-
uied him lived on goats during the us
cent and descent. driving the goats
and killing them when food was want
ed. Tho Ujiji boys were SO struck with
the phenomenon of ice that they tried
to carry bits down to Ujiji. The trop
ical sun nearly boiled the ice on the
way. Between Tanganyika and Lake
Albert Edward is lake called Kivu.
The best atlas published gives 1t as
about one-tenth the size of Albert Ed
ward. Mr.. Moore. who was accom-
panied by Malcolm Ferguson. geclo-
gist and geophapher. found that Kivu
is larger than Albert Edward. Tha
north end of Tanganyika was found to
be fifty miles westward of its ascrined
position. 1t was between this lake and
kivu that the cannibals were met.
They are tall, light-colored men, more
like Arabs than negroes. and are born
thieves. They gave much trouble and
killed two or three bearers. but Mr.
Moore never had to fight them out
right. The primary object of the es
pedition was to dredge and sound the
lakes with reference to the marine
forms which Mr.. Moore found there
four years ago. The question waB
whether the jellyfish and crustaeeaus
originally got into Tanganyika by way
OF the Nile or the Congo. Having de-
termined that these marine species are
to be found in none of the lakes north
of Tanganyika. Mr.. Moore believes
that Tanganyika was once Joined to
the sea by way OF great basin In the
Congo State. When Tanganyika was
left high. II not dry. in the center OF
Africa. the jellyfish and crustaceans
of the sea remained behind and their
descendants are hourishing today.
They have been there many thousands
OF years, for fossils they resemble are
to be found below the chalk level.

Sir James Grant. medical man OF
Canada. has evolved the wonderful
theory that rheumatism is due to an
abnormal electrical storage in the hu-
man system. He says that for many
years he has been in the habit of treat
ing cases OF supposed muscular rheu-
matism by the insertion of small fine
steel needles. the number varying ac.
cording to the extent of the affected
parts. and. as a rule. the seat of pain
will indicate the precise place and ex-
tent to which the needles should be
used. They remain stuck into the
muscles for from one to two minutes.
The previous hard. tense condition ap-
proximating one of tetany relaxes. the
needles are removed without force. and
the patient is able at once to use the
muscles. Experiments point to an alb
normal storage of electricity in tho
tissues 1t may be stored as result
of sudden draughts and cold. When
the inserted needles are touched the
electrical accumulation is simultane-
eously discharged, passing through the
body of the operator without any seri-
Gus result There is almost immediate
relief in lumbago from the treatment.

being would surely perish from starv-

AS II by a miracle from heaven Jac-
ques has been put in his right mind
and in few months will be sent home
entirely cured to his happy parents in
Marseilles. He is now learning the
carpenters trade and he will be ap-
prenticed as soon as he returns home.
How has all this been accomplished?
Doctor Bonneville says that he has
not uttered harsh word to jacques
nor punished the boy at any time for
disobedience or transgression Of dis
cipline. First, there was week of
patient observance OF his peculiar
form OF idiocy and daily examina-
tion of the malformed organs. He was
treated as at home. fed with spoon,
conveyed into the garden in a rolling
chair, left to mutter and stare at will.
and at night carried to bed. His nurse
in all details gave him maternal care.
In the case OF Jacques. Doctor
Bourleville determined that massage.

was the best treatment, for his dag
nosis revealed that his form of imbe-
cility was traceable mostly to an i'm
perfect development OF the facial, man
ual and pedal lineaments and other
peculiar deformities contracted before
birth and permitted to become aggra-
vated by Ignorant nursing. Electric
and medicated baths were also pre-
scribed by the doctor.
1t was weeks before Jacques could
stretch out his arms and months be-
fore he could stand up without assist
ance. AS to feeding Jacques his fond
ness for certain dellcacies was soon
ascertained. These were finally given
to him at every meal. but only when
he would reach out his hands for
them. Curious musical instruments
attracted the patients attention. The
only time when he was known to smile
was when the doctor would play on his
violin. Jacques soon learned to walk
from his room to the farther end OF
the garden II he wanted to see and
hear the doctor play.
Alter three months Jacques fed him

himself. Then began slow course OF
gymnastics. while Doctor Bonneville

normal facial formations by massage
and the mental restoration by the

gal II the matter was not submitted to
arbitration.
One of the points developed most
clearly ia that the variously American
administrations in the last eleven
years have played the game OF diplo-
macy in this Delagoa railway business
with much more thoughtfulness than
has been shown by the English gov
crnment. When he addressed the fjrst
mortgage holders the other day their
chairman. Sir Cuthbert Quiltcr. made
no bones about saying that although
the British government had protested
against the seizure OF the railway. that
government often had protested when
nothing came of II. He added that
fortunately the American government
had stepped In and insisted on seeing
the affair through; otherwise probably
no one interested would have received
anything at all.

state, was thoroughly disgusted when
Portugal undertook to wrigsie out OF

Some fairly successful experiments
have recently been made in drilling
holes in and engraving on metal by
means of electrolytic solutions. A
nozzle of special construction was
used. The lower end. which is press
ed against the metal plate. is divided
into two compartments, through
which the electrolytic fluid flows. The
upper end has two openings; through
one the electrolyte flows in, down to
finally up and out of the other. The
end of the nozzle, which Is pressed
against the plate to be drilled, is fitted
the lower end against the plate. and
with rubber washer. whose shape de-
termines that OF the hole bored. A
strong electric current is caused TO
flow through the plate of electricity.
The nozzle circulation OF the electro
lyte In the nozzle carries on the metal
as fast as the electrolysis liberates It.
Some Of the best results for iron were
obtained with sulphuric acid as the
electrolyte, but good work was also
done with ordinary salt water.
