The sultan.s Astrologer.

The sultan of Turkeys imperial as
trologer, a Greek named Kumbaris, is
a worthy representative of the preva-
lent blend of superstition and abysmal
ignorance which characterizes Abdul
Hands court. This worthy had on
one occasion the brilliant idea of
erecting a modern astronomical OBJ
servatory in Yildiz Kiosk. When the
work was finished and the instrumen
in place he found he could neither
work nor understand them, and conse-
quently professional astronomer had
to be summoned from Naples.
This, however, did not diminish the
influence of Kumbaris, who succeeded
IN preventing the distribution of Maui
ser rifles among the imperial troops in
in Constantinople in 1895 at the first
news of Armenian disturbances by the
sage reminder that the previous
change in the succession took place
Immediately after a distribution of
new guns. The sincerity of this won
derful piece of advice cannot be doubt
ed, as the self-sacrificing genius who
offered it to his worthy master rose
from his sick bed to do SO.

quent surprises in store for those who
watch it closely with telescopes. Its
vast belts, composed apparently of
clouds, are continually undergoing
changes. and occasionally an
extraordinary apparition rewards
the patient observer and sets
him to wondering what is
happening on the giant planet Dur
ing the past summer a conspicuous
dark spot has made its appearance in
the southern hemisphere of the planet,
and it's motions are being studied with
much interest by astronomers Some
twelve years ago a similar spot sud-
denly sprang into view and drifted,
with reference to the surrounding sur
face, very much as the present one
is doing. When it passed the cele-
brated great red spot it seemed to be
driven from it's course and afterward
became strung out in a reddish streak.
If the new spot lasts until next July
it will also overtake the red spot and
may suffer similar fate. These
things are interesting as occurrences

Musical chimpanzees.

Writing in the London Graphic. Sir
Harry Johnston, K. c. B., has much
to say about strange monkeys, Chin
panzees and balloons found by him in
the Uganda Protectorate- His special
pet is Miss Eleanor Maltravers.
Eleanor is almost human. The natives
told the explorer a great deal about
the chimpanzee's habits, such its
building houses (shelters) in the
trees. They said that it is the male
chimpanzee's habit to sleep with his
back to the tree trunk The natives
of Toro repeat the assertions of Emin
Pasha to the effect that the chimpan-
ices are rather fond of beating with
their hands hollow tree trunks which
they find in the forest, and of shout
ing in accompaniment to this print
tive music The chimpanzees are Ger
tainiy very noisy when they believe
themselves to be unobserved.

A YOUNG PRESIDENT.
TWENIY-EIGHT YEARS OLD, AND
HEAD OF A COLLEGE
Howard Grimth Colwen In the Young
est Man In Such High Position In
the United States-Has Had Much
Success in His vocAtfon.

Howard Griffith Colwen, a former
St Louisan now in his 2Sth year, is
thought to be the youngest college
president in the United States
At the opening of the collegiate
year of 1901, this exceptional young
man, then but &c years old, was in
stalled as president of Buchanan Col
1ege at Troy, Mo-, going there from
La Grange College at La Grange, Mo-,
where he had been instructor in an
cient languages.
Buchanan College is in Lincoln
county, Mo. 1t is co-educational The
college building overlooks the city
of Troy and the Cuivre valley, and is
surrounded by eight acres of college
ground. The college was built in 1894
by citizens of Troy and Lincoln coun-
ty, and was opened in September of
that year. Because of the devotion of
Alexander S. Buchanan and his gifts
of money for the establishment of the
college, it was named for him.
Professor Colwell was born at
Homestead. Pa, July 9, 1874. He at
tended public schools and a high
school in youth, and in 1894 went to
William Jewel College at Liberty, Mo-,
doing in three years the work or
dinarily done in four, and matriculat-
ing in 1894. In the summer of that
year he organized the E1sberry Acade
my at ElsberIy, Mo, a work marked
by such excellent results that in his
second year he was offered the chair
of ancient languages at La Grange
College, La Grange, Mo-, and accepted.
remaining there until called to the
presidency of Buchanan.
President Colwel1 is a son of Rev.
]. F. Colwell, who was a Baptist min
lister and editor in ST. Louis from 1888
until 1897, coming to ST. Louis in 1888
to edit the American Baptist Flag for
three years, and then for two years
editing the True American. In 1892
he became city missionary for the
Baptist Missionary Board. He organ
lied the Tower Grove Baptist Church,
and was pastor there up to the time

of his death in 1897. Howard G. Col
well lived in st. Louis much of the
time his father was there, and he was
for several years chorister and presi
dent of the Young Peoples Union of
the Tower Grove church.
The young president of Buchanan
College made his first year the most
successful the college has had. He
increased the enrolment. He added
to the laboratory and library. He fos-
tered athletics. He took off his coat
and went out on the field with his
boys, and he personally led them into
a wholesome athletic activity. The
Buchanan football team lost but one
game last year and it was scored
against in but two other games. Presi-
dent Colwel1 coached the team himself.
He is man of good fellowship and he
has personally brought to Buchanan
many young men who would not 9TH

smugglers Trapped by X-Ray.

so far as l have heard" said a
man who got back from South Ameri-
ca recently, the newest practical ap-
plication of the X-rays has been made
by the postofice authorities at Buenos
Ayres. They have turned it into a
government detective, and a valuable
one it makes, too.

tine Republic to open registered mail
to examine the contents, and jewelers.
have taken advantage of the fact to
smuggle jewels into the country in
registered letters and packages on a
large scale.
1.-The authorities knew that the
smuggling was being done, but there
seemed absolutely no way of stopping
it short of repeating the law concern
ing registered mail, and that would
have been difficult.
When they were at their wits ends
one day somebody thought of the X
ray, says the New York Sun. An ex-
perimental apparatus was installed in
short order, and just as was expected,
it revealed watches, chains, rings,
gems and all sorts of jewelry in regis
tered mail in astonishing quantities.
Such evidence was, of course, suf-
ficient for a court order to open the
packages, and during a single one of
the first weeks that the plan-was tried
more than $4,000 worth of property
was confiscated.
AN X-ray machine is now a feature
of every postoffice in the country that
receives foreign mail, and registered
letter smuggling is as dead as Moses"

has been killed by a hunter in the

For one hundred years it has not
only been a tradition among the Semi

stated as fact within the knowledge of
some of the Indians now living that

Werd ich wo in elmer Wuste
