Trying .Donkcv.

A newcomer in Africa has MANY
surprises. A. b. Lloyd, the author Of
dwarf Land and Cannibal Country.. y,
narrates an amusing little experience
of his own in purchasing a donkey in
Zanzibar:
We had to procure donkeys, by no
means an easy task. OF course each
one had to be tried. US We were to usc
them for riding purposes. and In tho
course OF the work we had various ex-
pericnces. had set my mind upon a
fine female donkey and took her out
for an afternoons ride. shall not
forget 1t. At first when mounted her
she would not move, In spite Of all
my most tender persuasions, and final
" she began to back.
Now, the streets of Zanzibar IRE very
narrow. and coming up behind me was
Q large bullock wagon. Ny sweet tenn
pered donkey backed right on to the
horns of the bullocks. Then 1t was no
longer case Of making her go, but of
making her stop.
Away she flew, right along the Naza
Moja road, and nothing could do
would check her headlong career. In
fact. soon tired Of trying and let her
go. On she went. right in among the
cocoanut trees. regardless Of every
thing until she came to steep bank.
Here she stopped. This showed that
she had good sense. and decided to
keep her.

the Improvements now being made at
aud in the near vicinity Of South
Omaha by the z. u NV. and f. T..

Among the numerous other improve.
ments now in course of completion at
South Omaha are the mammoth stone
abutmen's intended for tAe founda-
lions for the new double track bridge.
One of the mammoth abutments was
completed short time ag" and during
the inspection of the completed work
by the experimenting Engineer, that
official was rather surprised to dis
cover that the abutments had already
commenced to settle. A more minute
examination revealed the fact the
ponderOus mass of stone and mortar
had settled almost two feet in less
than two weeks and was also out OF
plumb over foot. The Engineer in
charge Immediately ordered Il sus-
pension of all work on the other abut-
ments pending an investigation that
subsequently, revealed the fact the
peculiar low ground on which the
heavy foundations were to be con-
structed would not sustain the OK
IRENE heavy weight of the stone, etc
Concrete bases each fifteen feet thick
had been constructed for the stone
piers and in removing them it was
necessary to resort to The use of dyna-
mite with which both the piers have
been blasted. All work already fin
ished will be q total loss to the com
pany as the excavations are to be
made ten feet deeper. The unfortun-
ate turn of affairs mean considerable
loss to the company In financial way

Is The Black Race Waning?
Here's a Problem For You.

Few questions have attracted the atten-
ton Of sociclogists more since the civil war
than the relative increase Of the black and
the white races in the South. BY the
census Of 1880, VIII ch by comparison with
that of 1870 offered the fl st real basis for
reflective study, the nlacks seemed to be
gaining in numbers much faster than the
whites. This created considerable alarm.
1t was feared that in process of time the
black race would outpopulate tie white, or
g AfficanzeD the South. Ten years later,
the census of 1890 gave very different
showing: the black race seemed, on account
of IFS heavy deathiate, to tie making less
numerical progress than the white, and 1t
was discovered that the sensational figures
of ten years before might have been due,
in part at least, to an inadequate count OF
the blacks in 1870. At all events, the
returns Of 1890 served TO quiet apprehension
on the part Of those who feared that the
black race would eventually possess tic
land. But returns of this character from
a single census were not sufficient TO settle
the question. Students OF t1e problem have
been looking forward eage.iy to the coun
of 1900, whose findings are COW in process
Of tabulatloD.
