LARGEST TRIBE IN AFRICA.
The Fans OF West Africa, living
east IF the Gaboon and between
the Ogowe and Sanga rivers have
long been supposed to he the largest
of African tribes. They are
cannibpals, who for years opposed
ever effort of the whites to ascend
tho Ogowe river. At last they per-
mitted the Frenchman de Brazza to
explore the river. They were
aweestruck by wonderful display
OF fireworks he r,ade one evening
and did n 1t dare to refuse the re-
quest of the mysterious whiteman,
who appeared to the be in league
with spirits.
Four French explorers who have
been travelling through the inner
part Of the French C.ngo to study
it's commercial resources, have
learned some new facts about the
Fans living between the Ogowe
and the Sanga tributary of the
Congo, in a large region which un
til now has been almost unknown.
In an account which Mr.. Augusta
Foret has written of the Fans in
this Territory, he expresses the
opinion that this race numbers at
least 5000, 900 souls.
He says it is fortunate that they
have no political or military Or
ganization of any great chief and
are frequently at war with one
another. He Delives that if they
were a compact and we'll organizat-
ed nation, like some other large
tribes in tropical Africa they
would give the whites great deal
of trouble. The eastern Fans differ
considerably from the western and
better known part of the family.
AS far east as degrees east longi-
tude they wear more or less cloth
ing; futher east they are almost
wholly naked, some of the men and
women, however. wearing a small
square cloth which hangs from
belt. New York Sun.

IL Ottawa, Ont; July s. Prof. 2.
Stone Virgins, Of this city, inter
viewed respecting the cause of the
long cold and wet period which this
portion of the world is now passing
through, said: =,
1.-THE earth was originally a ball
of molten rock. That is, the
PARTICLES were. at a distance from
each other and moved about easily.
We call that a fluid. In one second
Of time the heat changed into elec-
tricity, and the earth became isolid,
for electricity is the force that, binds
all particles together. We can
change heat into electricity and the
latter into heat by artifi cial means.
A similar process is constantly going
on in nature. ''Since May 10 the
earth g electricity has been running
to the mountains of Central
America. Electricity exists only on
the surface of bodies and collects at
the highest points. The land, being
nearly all our planets electric
Q lergy. Now, a mountain, highly
charged, welcomes like dynamite
and explodes, filling the atmosphere
with electricity.
"Take piece of ribbon and lay it
on a map of the world, stretching
it across the West Indies, up to the
Mississippi and down to the great
lakes to the Gulf of St. Lawrence,
and thence across to Europe. This
represents a current in our atmos-
phere that is always running and
this is why storm raging in the
Mississippi valley means, in the
course of a few hours, a storm in
Ottawa. Mont Pelee is in the track
of this current, and for many weeks
has been absorbing electricity, even
from far-off Australia, and throw
ing; it into this current. Thus
Mont Pelee and others have been
filling the current with electricity,
and so long as it continues go long
will we have rain and cold. Dry
air will neither absorb nor hold
moisture. Electrify it and it will
absorb m oisture like spong. Even
Australia is being drained of her
electric energy and is burned up
with drouth; and Texas, only few
feet from the current, is painting
for a crop to cool her parched
tongue. We, and even the British
isles, which are also under this
ribbon or current, are de.uged with
rain. You see. also, why such dread
full mining disasters followed this
West Indian volcanic eruption"
