o EAST AFRICA.

Two Notable Facts TO which DR. Smith
Calls Attention.
DR.. Donaldson Smith was the first
white man in the wide district be-
tween Lake Rudolf in East Africa and
the Nile. Among the most important
of his remarks before the Royal Geo
graphical society were those relating to
the m%eteorology of the country. He
said there is no doubt that the desert
conditions Of the lands inland from
She Indian ocean is the result of the
fact that the north winds blowing over
the mountains OF Abysslnia are wrung
perfectly dry Of their moisture in cross
tag the mountains and then descend
the southern slopes as dry winds.
These breezes are the northern trade
winds and as they cross the lofty
mountain ranges of the Abyssinian
highlands practically all the moisture
In them is condensed and p%recipitated
and only a pitiful drop or so is per-
mitted to reach The nor southern
lands. So Somaliland and the low
lands to the south Of Abyssinia are
very dry. All the rivers and lakes
which came under his observation this
year we're half dried up The other
striking fact which he mentioned is
that the whole fauna, both birds and
mammals, appears to change as soon
as Lake Rudolf Is passed. In other
words Of the fauna between the Indian
ocean and Lake Rudolf and the Nile.
Gazelles and heartbeasts were seen on
both sides Of the lake, but the varie-
ties were different. Walters gazelle,
which had been a constant companion,
was nowhere to be seen, but the oribi
and reedbuck took his place. More
than one hundred species Of birds
were seen to the west Of the lake and
were found to belong principally to
West African types.-New York Sun.

SO great have been the demands
arising from the extensive use of nat
ural gas in factories, public buildings
and dwellings of Indiana, Michigan,
and Ohio, that the supply is rapidly
being overdrawn and it is estimated
that the gas belt of Indiana, where the
product is obtained, will in two years
at the furthest be practically exhaust
ed. Attention to this matter has been
called by the statement of the Indian
apolis Gas company that it is unable
to declare dividends owing to the fact
that three-fourths Of the citizens Of
Indianapolis are guilty of recklessly
wasting and stealing gas from the COM
pany and the answer Of citizens to the
effect that they have to resort to
seemingly sharp practices because the
quality OF the gas is so poor that they
cannot get light without so doing. The
directors Of the gas company allege
that the violations Of the law are not
confined to the poor or vicious, but in

whlgh it has in the last four yearB u
is only a question Of time when France
win become a nation Of lunatics. IN
this country little absinthe is con-
sumed. Ten yeers ago there was quite
a "fad" for absinthe drinking I'm the
United States but 10 was OF short dura-
ton. American common sense soon.
RELOCATING the dangerous drink to OBJ
security. Later It became the custom
to say to the bartender when ordering
a cocktail, Just a dash Of abslnthe In
It," Now the %bartenders in the best
drinking places IN New York say that
absinthe IN a cocktail IS seldom called
for. Now and then a young man who
Is just learning the ropes" Of the big
city and wants to appear knowing
will call for an "absinthe frappe," or
some old "rounder." whose Pickering
candle is almost gone out, will order
an absinthe as a "bracer," but as a
general drink It Is seldom used here
now. The real "rounder," the man
who has drunk all his life and intends
to drink for the. remainder OF Il,
eschews absinthe as he would a tenn
perance pledge. II restaurants and
cafes %frequented b. foreigners one may
occasionally see men sitting over their
cloudy green liquor, but as a rule the
drip glass" remains unused behind
the bar, and the ahsinthe bottle keeps
it company. The history Of the intro
duction Of this drink into France is GU
rious. When the French soldiers We're
sent to the Algerian war in 1S44-7, they
were advised to mix absinthe with the
water they drank as a preventive
against fever. It was as pleasant a
tasting medicine as any man had ever
taken, and the result was that the
whole French army in Algiers became
an army Of absinthe drinkers. when
the soldiers returned to France they
brought the absinthe habit with them
and introduced their friends to the new
drink. The absinthe habit spread
throughout France with remarkable
rapidity. and has now become a great
ns.ional evil, calling for strict legisla-
ton II the country would saw itself
from its green peril.

At last the French lawmakers have
awakened to the green peril Of France
the deadly absinthe, says the New
York Press. The consumption Of this
drug has been for years the curse Of the
French people. Its effects upon the
nervous system are such that Il is
especially harmful to an excitable peo-
pie like the French. That it is respon-
sible for the increase in insanity in
France Is shown by the fect that the
growth in its consumption goes hand
In hand with the increase of cases Of
mental arrangement. Cases of insanity
directly traceable to the use OF this
drug seldom or never recover. In large
quantities ebsinthe produces epilectic
commissions, as has been shown by ex-
pertinent, and the continued though
moderate use Of It produces symptoms
OF an epileptic character which ere not
due to the alcohol In the decoction. In
the last six years the consumption of
absinthe has doubled in France. the
absinthe drinkers Of that country now
consuming, according to M. valiant,
100000 gallons a year. The confirmed
absinthe drinker is nervous. irascibls.
erratic and incapable OF %self-contol or
OF logical reasoning. He does not get
drunk like the whisky drinker. but Is
driven to a sort Of frenzy. Absinthe
also stimulates the lowest and most
abnormal passions. No man can re-
main perfectly sane and be addicted to
absinthe. The French Academy of
Medicine and the French members OF
the Chamber Of Deputies see grave dan
gers ahead for France If the use Of the
drug is not checked. If the increase in
its use goes on with the same rapidity

WASTE.
Gas Belt Being

clude city and county buildings, city
officials, lawyers, churches, ministers
of the gospel, physicians, architects,
and some of the most prominent resi-
dents and business houses in the city
of Indianapolis.
AS described by the company, the
method of stealing is to cut additional
small holes in the feed pipe, without
paying the extra charge due for the
increased supply. Everybody, appar-
emily, according to the company, does
this; or, at least, It was found that out
of $4,000 consumers, t~hree-quarters
we're using more gas than they paid
for. AS a result, the company's earn
ings decreased S11O, 900 a year, and the
dividends had to be deferred.
No gas meters have been used in In

company to secure their adoption, and
there is no means Of definitely deter
mining the amount Of the product

Spread of the Coffee PIant.

Some interesting facts regarding the
coffee tree have been printed recently.
The native home of this plant is said
to be Kaffra, in southern Abyssinia. 1t
was not until it had been in use for
centuries by the Arabians hat the
plant was carried to Java. In 1905 a
lros from Java was sent to Amster-
dam, and when it lowered and ripened
seeds a young Seeding was present
