grated east into Italian territory, and
IL is thought that not more than about
40 Rashidas are now left in that dis
trict.
A traveller, who has recently
crossed Abyssinia, which he entered
by the leila route and left by the
Blue Nile, writes that he mad an
especially good opportunity Of noting
the pres snt condition of the slave
trade in that region. In that portion
of the country which is completely
under the control of Menelik, he In
forms me that slavery exists but In
very restricted and comparatively
humane form, the powerful CHIEFS
alone being permitted to acquire do
nestle slaves, who become in erect
members of the household. There are
no auctions or open sales. "a the
country of Godjam, however, which is
nominally subject to Menelik, the IN
stitution of slavery openly exists, and
public sales take place in the ordinary
weekly markets. The supply of VIC
tins for this traffic is principally OBJ
tanned by organized raids upon the
strip of country inhabited by mixed
Shangalla tribes, which separates
Abyssinia proper from the Anglo
Egyptian Sudan. The boundaries OF
this country are the river Bolasso on the
east and line running north from
Famaka Ga town on the Blue Nile).
The writer states that the survey now
proceeding which has for its object
the delimitation of the frontier be-
tween Abyssinia and the Sudan, will
not be completed for at least another
year, and he expresses the wish that
the territory referred to could be in
cluded in the Sudan and so brought
under Egyptian administration,
when an end would be put to the slave
trade.

AN AIR AUTO MOTOR.
A Worcester inventor Thinks He Has
Solved the ProbIeno of Pronulsion

worcester inventor links ne tbs
Solved the Problem of Propulsion.
Merrill E. Clark, a Worcester man,
has been working fer some years on
device to substitute air at moderate
pressure for steam in the driving Of
an engine, and his device is now so
nearly perfected that in week or two
he and his friends say they will have
it operating an automobile on the
streets. The inventor has taken the
boiler and burner out of an ordinary
steam-driven vehicle and replaced
them with his mechanism, intending
by this means to drive the same en-
CINE which has previously been op-
Grated by steam.
Roughly speaking, the device con-
sists of three internai-combustion
cylinders in the same plane yoked to-
gether to the same shaft at angles of
12O degrees, and driving directly into
three air compressors, the chambers
of which are connected with a small
reservoir, from which the air, under
a pressure of normally 120 to 1870
pounds, is carried directly into the
engine cylinders.
From this main reservoir also a.
small tube connects with the combus-
ton cylinders first mentioned, the air
at pressure sufficient to give it
high temperature coming in contact
with the gasoline in such a manner as
to vaporlze it and at the same time as
sist materially in exerting power on
the piston. The three cylinders work.
ing together, the inventor claims, do
away with the need of a f1ywheel, such
as is necessary in ordinary gasoline
engines, while at the same time it
eliminates all vibration.
The engine, using the air from the
reservoir, exhausts into a coil Jacket.
ing the combustion cylinders, the cold
from the exhaust serving to cool these
cylinders at the same time that the
cylinders prevent the frosting which
would result if the exhaust was d.
rected into the atmosphere. The in
ventor claims that his device is practi-
cally a parallel of the steam boiler, in
SO much that it makes it's power as
fast as 1T is used, but no faster; for
when the air in the reservoir has
reached 150-pounds pressure the COM
bustion cylinders shut down automat-
ically, and start up again only when,
the engine has used enough to bring
the pressure in the reservoir down to.
given figure, say 12O pounds.
The inventor claims to avoid all
danger from explosion, as the only
nre is the electric spark used in con-
nection with the combustion cylinders.
and to run without vibration or odor.
and at a greatly reduced cost of me-
terials. He holds that his device can
be applied to street cars and railroad
trains, and that it can also be used t1,,
great advantage in the operation OF
automatic brakes. The device is con-.
trolled by Boston, Worcester and Prov.
idence apitalists.-Motor World.

SLAVE TRADE IN EGYPT.
Governments Successful Efforts at Re-
preston.

Consul-General Long at Cairo,
Egypt, has made report to the state
department as to the slave trade in
Egypt and Abyssinia He says: The
slave trade in this part of the world
is attracting the attention of people
in the United States, as evidenced by
numerous letters received asking for
information, and a report thereon may
not be inappropriate. 1t may be
stated that all trading and trafficking
in slaves in Egypt has practically
ceased. The success of the govern
ment in the trial of the celebrated
"Sharkieh case" which was tried in
the courts at Cairo in 1899, and sub
sequent case of kidnapping which took
place at Luxor on the Nile, virtually
put an end to slavery in Egypt. The
great publicity given these cases, the
prominence of the defendants, their
trial, convictions, and punishment, at
tracted the keenest interest through
cat the country, and have resulted in
producing the best and most desirable
effect. 1t is now fully realized in
Egypt that the new convention and
laws cannot be evaded or disregarded
with impunity. Prior to the year
1899, but little had been accomplished
by the earnest and persistent efforts
of the department of the interior
through the slave trade department"
in Upper Egypt and the Sudan. In.
deed, it was generally understood (and
believe so reported by high an,
responsible government Officially that
slave traffic in the Sudan was on the
increase and the amount of kidnap-
ing which was taking place in large
centers of population, such as Assuan,
Berber. Omdurman, Suakin, ETC., had
become a serious cause for apprehen-
sion. The renewed energy and zeal
of the slave trade department" in
spired by the complete success of the
government in the conviction and
punishment of the guilty parties in the
trial of the cases quoted Tin Lower
Egypt. has had the effect, il ia
thought, TO check this evil in the
Sudan.
The department attaches great i'm.
portance to the fact that it has been
fortunate enough to capture. a short
time ago, one of the principal sheiks |
OF the Rashidas, one of the most
troublesome and dreaded tribes in the
Sudan, in d slave-trading case in
which he was purchaser and vendor.
This man was tried. convicted and
sentenced to seven-years imprison.

convictions obtained by the depart.
nent up to. 10 in four months, and
establishing important precedents that
must bring the best results. The eff
ect OF these convictions is note
worthy, as about six months ago the

carnations. Now he has hot houses

from end to end with carnations, smi-

few flowers are in bloom. Plants were

draining, ditching and cultivation all
is changed.

Even the ever present crow was miss
