Sir Harry Johnston has discovered in
the Semliki forests a mammal which,
in its living form, is entirely new to
science, says the London Times. 1t
is the size of an OK, and is distinctly
related to the giraffe This remarkable
creature, in fact, appears, so far as a
cursory examination of it's skin and
resentative OF the Helladotherium,
creature found in the fossil state in
Greece and Asia Minor and supposed
to be extinct The Helladotherium
was thought to be a relation of the
giraffe, smaller in size, with shorter
neck, and without any marked devel-
opment Of those horn cores which in
the giraffe represent the pedicles from
which, far back in the history of the
genus, kind Of antler formerly
sprang.
Sir Harry Johnston has at last Sc
cured, through the kindness of the
Belgian authorities at the frontier post
OF Fort Mbeni, complete skin and
two skulls Of this animal which is
now shown to be not at all a horse,
but cloven-hoofed ruminant Of ex-
traordinary coloration and appearance,
which seemingly is either Of the ex-
tinct genus Helladotherium, or is some
closely allied creature belonging to
that somewhat vaguely defined group
Of which the giraffe is an exemplar

Artificial silk Is Valua BILE.

Artificial silk apparently can be
made but it answers to the real thing
as oleOmarg2rine answers to butter.
Going the rounds Of the papers of Con-
tinental Europe is an item that three
factories for the production of artifi-
cial silk are in operation; that one, in
WolstOn, England, produces $500
pounds a week; one in Besancon,
France, 10000 pounds, and one in
Spreitenbach, Germany, $500 pounds.
1t is stated. furthermore, that other
factories will soon be built in Belgium
and in Germany Before the Frankfort
Society of Natural Philosophy DR..
Freund, in recent lecture on the sub
ject, said that though artificial silk
can compete with natural silk, it is not
as valuable. Artificial silk has been
sed as a covering for cables and as
substitute for horsehair, but it has
to break if wetted and there
fore, it must usually be mixed with
natural silk and cotton. The artificial
silk is cheaper than the natural, and
more brilliant effects can be produced
with 1t. This industry, which is said
to be purely chemical, is expected TO be
developed to its fulleset extent in
few years.-New York Press.

fore the public man who has been
Observation-Disclosures, and who has
endured much for his political princi-
pies. AS journalist and parliamenta-
rian he has achieved a splendid repu-
tation for ability and independence
and even those who have disagreed
with him and have deprecated the
means he has at times employed in
behalf Of his native land could not but
admire his pluck and genius.
William O'Brien is about so years
of age. He began his career as a re-
porter Of the Cork Daily Herald in
1869, and filled this position for six
years. Then he became an editorial
writer for the Freeman's Journal, later
founded the United Ireland and more
recently established the Irish People
His achievements in journalism were
responsible for his election to parlia-
ment in 1882 as a representative Of
Cork. and for twelve years he was one
of the leaders Of the Irish party in the
house of commons. In 1895 he retired
owing to discussions in the party, but
last year returned to parliament
O'Brien has been prosecuted nine
times for political offenses, and has
spent two years in prison.

LyncbinS Fad Gets Check,


A police official of Connellsville.
Pa. is entitled to credit for an in
teresting and instructive object lesson
In the matter of dealing with lynchers.
When a mob assaulted the town iail
and demanded their victim early the
other morning this official resorted to
tactics of his own. AS the mob num-
bered about 5000 he had fairly good
reason for considering himself over
powered and yielding the keys under
force. He might have fired at the
crowd, which would probably have
hastened the lynching along. Instead
OF threatening the mob. however, he
let it be understood that he recog-
nized his disadvantage. merely re-
marking that while he could not fight
mob he would take occasion to kill
the first man who broke in. The mob
as a mass was courageous enough to
do anything, but as q collection of in
dlvidualS it was baffied However
many of its members might have been
willing to be the second man into the
jail, natural reluctance to be the
first made them powerless. The first
man failing to make known his pres
ence, the other 1899 concluded that
a lynching would not be worth while.
The Connellsville officials example is
worthy of attention by jailers in COM
munities where lynching is a fad.

FISH THAT CLIMB STAIRS.
In Travelling to Summer Haunts They
Display Acrobs 10 Ability.

Display AcrObs 10 Ability.
It IS not an uncommon thing to see
on pleasant days, when the fish are
running at East Taunton, hundreds OF
men, women and children clustered
around the fishway watching the fish
struggling up against the strong cur
rent and trying TO get into the smooth
er waters above the dam, where they
may shoot off at leisure to the spawn
ing place in the Nemasket, says the
Boston Herald. The fishway is so con-
structed that 1t is impossible for the
fish to make a clear swim from top to
bottom or vice versa. They must work
up the river in the eddies, for the tide
is also very strong there near the dam
and until they reach the lower part Of
the fishway. Thence they struggle and
wriggle into the lower entrance of
the fishway, thus making sure Of at
least a chance to rub up against the
boards and rest before they begin their
wearisome fight for the top and smooth
water. 1t is in the fishway that the
interest Of the average spectator is
conferred. since here the fish can be
seen plainly in punches almost thick
enough for one to walk across on their
backs, and where one may easily reach
down and pull them out Of the water.
They are generally packed il so thick
that they cannot escape the quick
moving hand OF man or boy. From
right to left and from left to right,
steadily, slowly, they keep on in the
effort to get out of the ffshway, and it
is one Of the prettiest sights imagin-
able to watch the little fellows, plucky
and game to the last. as they almost
imperceptibly work out Of one passage
way into another and crowd each other
against the corner. No matter how
many people are close to them, so close
that they could be touched with the
hand or cane, they appear to pay no
attention to their interested audience,
but keep right on about their business.
A Waterman is on duty at the fishway
all Of the time to see that no one dis
turbs them, but when his attention is
taken up by questions that are asked
frequently, those who like the fish
right out of the water smuggle them
out and are away before they have
been apprehended. 1t is understood
that there are thousands OF these her
Wings stolen in this way and other
ways before they get to the clear water
but there doesn't seem to be any help
for It.

Mclean and the Politicians.

Rumor has been busy for the past
few days with the name of John R. Nc
Lean, proprietor of the Cincinnati En-
quirer, in connection with the United
States senatorship of Ohio. 1t has
been stated that Mr.. Mclean would
ask the Endorsement of the Ohio Dem
ocrats as a candidate for United States
Senator, so as to give direction to
the vote Of the Legislature in case
that body should be Democratic when
the next senator is elected. When
asked about the report, Mr.. Mclean

truth in it. 81 have not thought of

liquid will pass downward through the
pipes, yaporiZing by absorbing heat
from the atmosphere. The products of
the vapCriZation will rise through the
return coil to the top of the reservoir,
where the pressure is utilized to force
the liquid continuously into the dis
charge pipe, in addition to driving the
fan. This latter result is accomplished
by allowing the compressed vapor to
pass downward through the central
tube to a small turbine just above the
fan blades, where its force is expended
against the wings. AS the vapor is of
a very low temperature it Is desirable
to utilize it after it leaves the turbine
for cooling the room, and this is ac-
complished by extending the outlet
pipes into the arms carrying the fan
blades, where the air is discharged in
advance of the blades, being driven
about by the fan and mixed with the
warmer air Of the room.

PopuIationof London and England.

London's population is now about
4 SD. 034, an increase of some 308,717
in the last ten years. Notwithstanding
this. there are now 500 fewer births
daily in the United Kingdom than
twenty years ago. The decline Of tho
birth rate is menace that is causing
thoughtful Englishmen more concern
than the loss of trade and revenue. It
may appear incredible, but 1t is per-
fectly true, that births in England are
falling off at the rate OF about a mil
lion in five years.
