food by the roadside. The woman
found a peach, which she would not
eat of, though starving. till she could
share 1t with her husband. He cut it
exactly in half. when an infant leaped

.~IRARRETA.S FATE.
Relies of Explorer and His Comrades
Found In the Grand Chaco.

Found In the Grand Chaco.
It was reported early in September,
1899, that Senior Enrique Ibarreta and
his men had mysteriously disappeared
while exploring the Pileomayo River,
in north Argentina, one of the longest
of the second-class streams of South
America. There was little doubt that
they have been massacred by the In
dams, who for 10 years past have
defeated the attempts made by a CON
siderable number of explorers to ex-
plore this stream. A little later the
bare fact was published that there
was no longer any doubt of the mas
sacre of the party, but no details OF
the tragedy had been obtained. Then
a report reached Buenos Ayres that
1barreta and a part of his expedition
were probably still alive. This report
led to the sending of an expedition
under the command of Senior Uriarte
to rescue the explorers If they could ba
found. The relief expedition has re-
Gently returned to Buenos Ayres with
evidence that leaves no doubt that the
entire party was killed by the hostile
Indians of the northern part of Ar
gentina. In the depths of the Chaco
forests, near a place called Esteros de
Patino. Uriarte found the camp OF
Ibarreta. Strewn all around were the
camp utensils and equipment, most OF
1t rendered useless by the weapons OF
the Indians, who had destroyed prae-
tically everything which they could
not utilize. Even the voluminous
notes which Ibarreta had made upon
the work he was doing from day to
day were torn to pieces and scattered
to the winds. A considerable number
of these fragments were recovered and
they supplied undoubted proof of hay-
ing been written by the Inflated ex-
plorer. Many Photographic negatives
he had made were also found. Not a
trace, however, of any of the party
could be discovered. 1t Is believed the
entire party was surprised and over
whelmed by a superior force of In
dians and that after the whites were
killed their bodies were dragged away
and concealed in order, If possible, to
destroy any direct evidence OF their
having met a violent death. 1t Is nat.
ural that these Indians should en-.
deavor to conceal evidences of theil
crime that might bring 1t home to
them, for on one or two occasions they
have been made to suffer severely fol

A European inventor recently per-
formed a remarkable experiment in the
laboratory of Thomas A. Edison at
Orange, N. J.. He placed a cup halt
full of a chemical in a crucible and
covered 1t with a small quantity OF
powdered aluminium. He then placed
IN iron wrench about half an inch
thick and six inches long in the cruc-
ible. Touching a match to the COM
pound, the mixture blazed f~uriously
and In five seconds the iron wrench
was melted. 1t was estimated that the
heat evolved in the process was 5000
degrees centigrade, hitherto considered
impossible to reach. The inventor
keeps the nature of his chemical COM
pound a secret.

Berlin, like other great cities, is suf-
fering from overcrowding. due to the
absence of dwellings suitable for the
constantly Increasing population. The
municipal refuge for homeless people
now shelters a thousand more than the
average number of inmates. The dis
tress of these people Is so great that
the authorities propose to build prem
ises for the exclusive purpose OF stor-
ing the furniture of the crowded out.
for these unfortunate people, though
unable to find a roof, earn money n
are without household goods. The crux
of the matter is the lack of small
houses. The building trade prefers to
erect huge and rather expensive edi-
fees, and the rents of these are such as
persons Of small means can not afford
to pay, and yet the Berlin municipality
spends every year about our millions
sterling for the benefit of the poor and
homeless. Meanwhile, the housing
problem is becoming more critical. and
in reality constitutes a much more Inn
portant subject than even the Chinese
situation. In other German towns the
misery of the crowded out is not SO
acute but the growing seriousness OF
the situation demands immediate at
.tention. Thus the municipality OF
Dusseldorf, one of the richest towns In
the empire. has just decided to raise
five millions sterling for building
small and cheap houses for the work
ing classes.-Indianapolis News.

Dwellers on Laks Tanganyika Who Have

The Catholic fathers have a flourish
ing mission station on the west shore
of Lake ~Tanganyika, at a place where
the forest comes nearly down to the
waters edge. This place has been
known for fifteen years on the maps as
Mpala and much has been written
about it as a station where the Cath
Ollie missionaries have been trying to
introduce civilization in a most prac-
teal manner Here in the depths of
Central Africa they have been teach
ing the natives how to make brick and
lumber, how to improve the quality
of the iron they dig from their hills,
how to make better implements from
this useful metal and the best methods
Of filling their crops. A great many
natives have come from far around to
enter the schools at Mpala. A year
ago this month the natives who had
been taught to set type in the printing
Office made their first book. A few
copies of 1t have reached Europe and
attracted considerable attention. The
little book is a geography. 1t tells. in
the native language and in the simplest
manner, something about the world.
1t gives the most interesting facts
about the geography and peoples of
some of the great nations. There are
only fifty-six pages in 1t, but they
contain a great deal of information
without being crowded with so much
detail as to make the story hard to
read. Father G. Van Acker wrote the
little volume, superintendent the type
setting and printing, and made the
map which adorns the work. The ma
tives under his tuition attended to ev-
cry mechanical detail, from type-set-
ting to binding. The book is an ex-
cellent specimen of typography con-
sidering that 1t is the first effort of
the black printers who made it; and
