surrounded by His Followers, Truly
Medieval Picture Was Presented.
My frs sight of the king of Pail was
most imposing, says the Geographical
Journal. Having heard of the approach
of my party. he came out TO meet US.
We had stopped the night before at the
small village of Jepiroh. beautifully
situated on high ground and chiefly re-
markable for the nun bers Of small
green and req parrots that sWarmed
in the guinea eornfelds all round il
It was the only place where saw them
in any qusntities. We started off about
$50, while the heavy lew was still
sparkling on the grass, and soon met
the head of the Pail contingent First
came $50 eowmen carrying nothing but
their weapons and wearing only the
smallest of loin cloths At regular in
tervals among them were mounted Of
ficers. Next came a bodyguafd of
twenty picked men dressed in red
gowns with white plaits down the back
and armed with every imaginable kind
of gun the locks of which were ineased
in leather. After passing these men
came on really beautiful sight. The
king had drawn up under the trees on
one side of the path, and some forty or
fifty mounted followers had arranged
themselves all around and behind him
They were dressed for the most part in
white gowns, but generally with either
a eoIored lining or another eolored
gown underneath. Voluminous white
eF blue tarbans covered their heads
aud some Of them wore very handsome
riding boots, though the majority were
barefooted The high-peaked saddles
were covered with brightly eolored
saddle cloths and the horses heads
were almost hidden by enormous bril-
dies, covered with tin ornaments, which
kept up perpetual jingling as they
tossed their heads about to keep off the
flies. On my approach they waved
their spears over their heads with the
butt to the front in token of friendship.
This, with the king in the center wear
ing a cap of chain mail >pder his tur-
ban, and bowling with courtly grace.

perfectly preventable diseases that
lead inevitably, when not checked at
an early stage, to modification and
the necessary arnputation, one by one,
of all the fingers and toes. very little
persuasion would be needed to induce
parents, schoolmasters and the public
authorities to insist on periodical
examination OF the hands and feet Of
school children, to watch for tho first
premonitions of such disease, and to
compel by legislation. if necessary, the
early and effeetual treatment of each
case as soon as its first symptoms
showed themselves. All that has been
said of the hypothetical finger ana toe
disease agrees in every particular with
the facts in regard u dental cases.

schooner Satellite commanded By
Capt Mckenzie. a man who has eA-
perieneed many thrilling adventures
while navigating the Newfoundland
coast. whence this vessel came with
her cargo. The Satellite came from
settlement in Newfoundland known as
Bluff Head. situated thirty miles east
southeast from Port au Port. and a
place where but two women ever were
known to live. Capt Mckenzie says
that the chrome ore mines were dis
covered only three years ago. They
are now worked by British and Ameri-
ran capitalists. The ore on board the
Satellite IS valued in its crude state IN
excess Of $50 a ton, and is the richest
grade which ever has been brought
into Philadelphia, owing to the limit
ed facilities for vessels reaching the
place. the largest cargo that has ever
been shipped is 300 tons and at that
time the vessel was seven weeks load
ing. The mines from which this ore
is taken are situated on the tops Of
cliffs rising 500 feet above the level of
the sea, and Capt Mckenzie had to
work his vessel in and anchor her
under these cliffs on a shoal area con-
tanning six fathoms of water. The
method Of loading is primitive, the ore
being conveyed down the mountain
side in small wagons drawn by power
full horses. From the shore it is
brought ont in boats Capt. McKen-

Their supply Brought Overland.
Russian tea traders have received
news that the great caravans will
shortly start on their long journey
across Siberia. Within recent years
much of the tea consumed in Russia
has made the sea voyage from Chinese
ports to Odessa on the Black Sea, but
Russians say that tea transported by
sea loses much in flavor and quality.
In consequence of this the largest tea
merchants continue to receive the bulk
of their stock by the overland route.
Early in January the caravans arrive
in Tomsk Between the LIST and goth

expected. each sledge containing five
packages of about 1870 pounds each.
The tea IS not packed in cases, but in
stiffened OK hides. Five sledges are
tied together and drawn by one horse.
The last sledge of each group contains
hay and barley, which the horse of the
next group quietly munehes as he trav-

Francis Rychnowaki. mechanical
engineer Of LemberE. Austria. has dis
covered strange and very subtle
matter, which he called .electrold' De-
cause Of = certain affinity with cleo
trielty. Electroid. produced by a fpe-
olal apparatus built by the inventor
Is obtained b the dissolution Of GER
tain matters under the influence Oh
Rhe electric current II makes noise
and at the same time refreshing
scent and cool breeze are experienced.
This discovery induced Mr.. RycEnoW-
ski TO make a machine capable OF re-
freshing the air to such degree thaL
those present during the experiment
had the feeling that the window was
open. although this was not the case.
Electroid Is Ve.y subtle matter but
II seems TO be a fluid, and 1t can be
gathered and preserved. While falling
ON plate it reflects in shape OF
shining sheaves. The commission ap-
pointed by the Austrian government
to investigate this discovery reported
that under the influence Of electrolo
plants grow rapidly and the buds OF
flowers unclcse while one Is looking at
them. Electroid annlhliates microbes
and thus preserves organic matter.
These are physiological influences OF
eiectroid. Among mechanical phe-
uomena the commission reported that
the influence of electroid is not
stopped even by brick wall and
glass; that it attracts solid bodies and
makes them shine like moonlight
makes them move and attract ether
bodies. finally, that it acts on photo

distinct lines, such as were formerly
possible only with q very powerful

elect delegates TO the National conyen-
ton and the other TO nominate State
onlcers, come unusually close together
this year. The one will be held the 9Th
oi June and the other the 18th OF July.
This fact should obviate the necessi-
ty OF two sets Of primaries and two
county conventions. One county con-
yention can and should name the dele
gates to the two conventions. II the
chairman will make his call TO that end
II will not only insure u full vote at the

but 1t will be a great saving Of time and
expense To voters and delegates.
The delegations from this county will
be the largest ever given the county
