The cannon used was of the old-fashioned kind, and 1t was orematurely discharged, with the -s- cult that the index finger of the right hand of the man ramming the load home was blown off. The shock, to- gether with the Judgement Of flying particles of powder, had the effect of ariving the blood back from the wound, during which fragment of time the injured man calmly examined his raangled hand; but when the blood did come back It came with a rush, ane fairly bubbled out in a torrent.

LAND POSSESSED BY DEVILS Eyn Spirits Are Supposed to Dominate
 an Interior African Country.

What an unmodern sound is that ot a devil-pessessed landH Still, Capt Welbey, who has been wandering in the interior of Africa, declares that he found one there. It Is called Walamo. and is believed to be haunted by evil spirits. Capt. Welbey was warned by his escort before he passed it's limits that he would become the prey of de. mons. He found it most winsoms country, full of luxuriant vegetation and picturesque streams. The first omen of danger perceive. by Capt Welbey was the sudden madness of one of his men. This unfortunate rushed into camp raving maniac. Other cases of an equally terrible and dan- gerous sort soon followed. The Al ricans who formed Capt. Welbey's es. eort assured him that devils took hold of all who were watched by the Wala- mo inhabitants while they ate H. himself, skeptical regarding these amazing statements, partook of meal before many Walamoans, who ob- served him ak the while, he declarea with great fixity. Afterward. to his own astonishment, he began to feel exceedingly i'll. F. does not admit, however, that he went mad, and as numerous explorations were subse- luently made by him, he probably die not.

pelled to Try tho Remedy.
 About the beginning of this century a distinguished French philanthropist, as much as possible during the winter months, as only thus would they be able to live with any degree of con- fort. This strange theory is now being tested by many persons in Russia, and, according to a report which has been issued, their almost complete absti. aence from food has produced no harmful result, and even has from their standpoint proved highly benefi' cial. These people live at Pskow, a district south of St. Petersburg, and the reason why they have adopted the practice of sleeping during the winter months is because for the last few years their crops have been insufficient .o provide them with the necessary of the district saw that starvation means of sustenance. When the elders Jf the district saw that starvatio1 stared the people in the face they ad. yised them to make thei. .emaining stock of food last as long as possible, and to go to sleep during the winter. This suggestion was adopted. The members of each family stretch them selves on cots around the large stove and slumber day and night. Once in the twenty-four hours they get dp and refresh themselves with a morsel of hard bread baked last autumn and drink of water, after which they lie down again and snore calmly. Appar ently some of the poorest inhabitants of Pskow have been in the habit of hi- bernating for some years, but the prac. tice did not become general until re- gently, and it has now only attracted the attention of philanthropists and of physicians. Medical men in St. Peters
 burg have decided to investigate the matter closely, as they are especially anxious to obtain answers to two quesa tions: First does the temperature of persons who remain torpid and who sleep for whole months in this fashion undergo any change? And, second, in what other manner, if any, does this mode of living affect persons physical. iy and mentally ?-New Tork Ucralh

the lecture rooms of the university.
In spite of this prohibition, when the
rooms were opened Monday morning
the professors discovered that the stu

crosses to the walls. The officials
commenced to remove the religious
emblems, but were hustled and insult
ed by the students. Some of the lat

and violent scenes ensued and the lee
lures were suspended. The matter
will be discussed in parliament.

ten business houses and the Iron
Mountain railroad station. All tele-
graph and telephone wires are down,
and all communication cut of.
The fire started in the southern
part of town, and u very strong wind,

flames to spread rapidly. The houses
are all frame. and there is no fire de-
partment in the town.
Bismarck is - miles from st. Louis
on the Iron Mountain railroad, and
has Il population of 80 inhabitants.
The town is built on each side of the
railroad, about equally divided, with
the business houses all on the east
side, which is the district on fire
Being closely built there is no posi-
bility of checking the flames with the
high wind blowing until the east half
of the town is consumed.
No communication is to be had with
Bismarck at . p. IN. Special messen-
ger sent to Irondale, five miles this
side, reports by phone that all of the
east side of the town is on fire, in

the Anheuser-Busch icehouse, at the
foot of Cherokee street, 3400 south,
at 12:45 p. M, and Immediately com
municated TO the fepair plant of the

direction of other buildings used by
the brewery and other manufacturing
companies.
The fire is in district well built
up with substantial factories, and IL
the center of millions of dollars
worth of lnhammable properly.
The general alarm had called out
all the machines in the city except
the six companies in widely-separated
sections of the city, which are always
held iR.reserve, and numerous streams
are being poured into the flaming
mass.
The icehouse is about 100 feet high
and almost half block square. The
framework is of steel and the roof
and sides of wood. The car COM
pany's repair plant is a long one
story building of wood and steel.
There are about 100 employees in the
latter company's shop, and is not yet

New York, March 1S.-A special to-

SO long as Cuba and Porto Rico
were Spanish possessions the cultiva-
ton of coffee in the peninsula of Spain
was forbidden. Under the changed
condition the government shows Il dis
position to make no objection to an
evasion of the law, which has prac-
itcally become a dead letter and, ac-
cordng to a report received at the
state department from United States
Consul Ridgeley, at Malaga, an cx-
pertinent on n commercial scale for
the home production of the bean is
about TO be undertaken for the first
time in the province Of Malaga, at the
little village of Campanilla, some Ave
miles from the capital.
by Way of "a starter.
Don Qlirico, Lopez, a rich wine
merchant of Malaga, will begin by
setting out from 10000 to $4,000 COT
fee plants on his plantations there.
Senior Lopez has already made some
experiments, and is convinced that
coffee can be advantageously grown
in this province and elsewhere i'll
Andamsia. Others who have exam
ined the question say that there is not
sufficient humidity in the Andalusian
climate. Experiments on large scale
will he made, and the result is await

LODGED VIGOROUS PROTEST.

apartment, through Minister LOOMS,
recently lodged a most vigorous pro-
test to the Venezuelan government
against further interference with Mr..
Baiz, the United States consulaSagent
at Barcelona, Venezuela. 1t knowns
nothing of the last reported infringe
ment of his liberty, but it is pre-
sumed that the affair is connected di-
rectly with the troubles which led to
the first protest. Ignatio NJ. Baiz is
not a citizen of the United States, a
fact that may add to the difficulty
which our government will expert
ence in protecting him, as it is de-
termined to do. lie was born in ST.
Thomas and is Danish citizen so ia:
as is known here, but having an exc
quator issued by the Venezuelan gov
eminent recognizing him as a United
States consular agent, the state de-
partment has decided that he is emit,
tied to the protection of the United
States government. 1t appears that
he is engaged in business and became
involved in trouble with Venezuelan
military by resisting an attempt to
collect forced loan from him. More
than month ago the state depart
ment forwarded its instructions to
Minister LOOMS to represent to the
Venezuelan government that these
annoying interferences with our Off
cial must cease, but so far no results
have appeared.
