THE TUNA'S LEAP.

| One of your correspondents, J,
 Grevllle Wllmot, desires to know the
 height of the leap of the tuna. I gave | the fish It's name "leaping tuna" to
 distinguish 1t from the ones of the tribe which do not make spectacular leaps
 and should be able to answer MT. Will
 mot's question as I have seen some re-
 markabe leaps, and have seen twenty
 in the air at the same time, but I doubt
 if any one can give an accurate esti
 mate I believe I have more than once
 seen the tail of a tuna 15 feet from the
 water, but I would immediately follow
 this by the statement that I would not | swear to it.
 l The average leap carries the fish four l or five feet into the air, and on supreme 1 occasions the fish undoubtedly makes 1 extraordinary leaps from twelve to | fifteen feet Such a leap is made under | the following circumstances: The tuna | is swimming fifteen feet or so beneath l the surface, sees a flying fish on the 1 surface, and dashes at it directly up-
 ward Sometimes he catches it. have seen them miss it, and send the | fying-fish whirling into the air In
 any case, the tuna rises vertically up-
 ward, poises for a second and plunges | down head first in a most graceful dive. | When observing the highest jumps
 was in very light boat mile out at sea; the tunas were in the air all around me. and l expected every moment to see one land in the skiff,
 hence my judgement was not as calm and ildicia1 as if might have hean but as I stood up, firmly believe I saw tuna turn in the air so that it's entire
 body for fraction of a second was nine feet above the level of my head; but if MT. Wilmot requires the figures for any , serious purpose, I would not give this as a contribution to the scientific phase of the question, as I was unquestion ably excited and I may have seen
 things that did not exist, though l can
 hardly believe that "saw double'
 Regarding the laaping of the tuna, it should be remembered that the fish does
 not as a rule leap at the strike or after being hooked, though I have seen one such leap and know of another, but the
 leaping is all in pursuit of it's prey, the large California f1ying-fs I have
 seen the strong west wind strike a school as they rose off the south end of
 Santa California Island, and lift them twenty or thirty feet into the air like
 a flock of birds high out of reach of the insatiate tuna, whose keen eyes would follow them and rush upon them as i they finally struck the water 400 or 800 yards away.-Callfornia Correspond ence Forest and Stream

and more temperate in climate. Togo
 land is about 400 miles north of the
 equator, and lies between the Gold lCoast,. which is dependency of Great Britain, on the west, and Dahomey (which is under France, on the east
 The area is 3S,O0O square miles; lit
 tie larger than South Carolina, and the
 estimated population is 2,500,000. On
 June 20, 1899, the European population was 11S. of whom 113 were Germans. Togoland was declared a German pro- tectorate in 1884, and is placed under
 an imperial commissioner, assisted by a secretary, an inspector ot customs
 and a committee of local merchants.
 The town of Togo has apopulation of
 5000, and the entire military and police | service of Togoland consists or seven Germans and 250 natives. TWO cable | connections with Europe have been es- | tablished. Togoland imported in 1900
 $S19927 in goods, the largest single item | being for cotton fabrics.
 As early as 1856 cotton was introduc- ed and raised successfully on the slave coast of Africa, and during the civil | war cotton went up to such a high price that English merchants of Man. | chester raised a fund to encourage the cultivation of cotton, hoping to rival l the United States, but nothing came of 1 it.
 It is right here that Germany has hit upon a new idea. The former efforts have been with white men, who do not thrive in the torrid zone. His excel lency Emperor William, acting upon the advice of some progressive mer- chants and a counsel in this country, decided upon the present plan of talk ing African descendants in the United States who are experts, and to whom there would be more racial sympathy and less climatic dangers than would be the case with whites. The German African territory amounts to 925 900 square miles, which Is a third more than the total area of cotton producing states in America.
 This African territory Is fertile well watered, and not too hot for cotton. Hence it requires no extraordinary staesmanship to see that Germany can become OUT rival, if she but conquer conditions which are usual in introduc- ing new crops, and also safeguard the health of those who are to serve as plOneefs AS to the lADor Supply, Africa furnishes the cheapest labor in the world, labor that adds to its cheapness, docility and great endur- ance.
 Whether Germany succeeds in be- coming an American rival in cotton raising, as seems probable, it seems clear to those interested In the future of the negro th't the kaiser has pointed the way to solve the American negro problem. There are. it is said thou sands of expert cotton farmers among southern negroes, and if encouraged by transportation and subsistence till start is made, they would readily leave the black belt and the overcongested districts of this country. If capitalists would buy this African land start plantations with American negro over seers, the financial returns would, it is claimed, be very great, and the over shadowing American negro problem would be given a silver lining. g.-Boston Transcript.

Long earrings of gold or silver and bracelets of curious forms are common
 The men wear long blue frock coats with full skirts, faced with red broad cloth and edged with red cord Hooks and eyes are used instead of buttons and the collar Is cut similar to that of Church of England parsou.

Charge and Counter-Charge Among
officials at RushvilIe.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
RUSHVILLE, Ind, Aug. S.-The judiciary
committee of the City Council has passed
censure on City Marshal Jones for not
enforcing the law especially against the
saloons, and at the same time took oc-
casion TO rub the mayor on the same
lines. The mayor and marshal are Demo
Gratis; four of the Council are Republicans
and two are Democrats. The mayor and
marshal have been at loggerheads, the
mayor having, at a meeting of the Council,
presented a letter to the Council written
by the marshal demanding pay from one
of the local saloon keepers for the protec-
ton given him. The marshal retaliated
by taking all his cases before a local justice
of the peace, keeping the mayor out OF his
fees, thus making the mayor merely a
figure head. In consequence the city is
being run wide OPEN The temperance
people say one of the member of the Coun-
ell is agent of a brewing company and
that protection to the saloons is given III
exchange for the trade received. AS all the
men involved are Democrats, the Repub-
licans are letting them fight it out with
out interference.
