Travelling in Portuguese Africa iE
thus described by recent writer: AS
soon as one gets into the interior there,
is an absence of roads and q great
paucity Of government military sta
tions or trading posts. The country is
slightly policed. The consequence is,
that the negro bearer who carries his
rubber has long. dangerous. difficult
journey and is robbed of portion Of
his stock from time to time; and when
he returns to his village if his chief be,
Informed that there is smallpox on the
coast he is likely to be summarily shot

The dangers Of travel in Tripoli are,
thus described by United States Con-
sui General Skinner of Marseilles:
'There is always more or less risk in
volved in travelling. Mr.. Dodson was.
accompanied by two Zeptias, sent by
the governor general. his own assistant,
a head Arab and five others. They mar
rowly escaped being ambushed by
wandering tribe. This danger Is more
remote at Cyrene, as the authority Of
the government is acknowledged along
the coast. However, 1t is always we'll

the petition, as an entirety, makes out a

JEFFERSON DAVIS OLD HOME
Beauvoir Mansion to Recome a Retreat

Beauvoir Mausion to BecOme Retreat
for Confederate Soldiers.
In all the fair southland there Is not
a place dearer to the hearts of the
Southern people than Beauvoir, the
late home of Jefferson Davis, President
Of the Confederate States. This home
was recently purchased by the sons of
Confederate veterans and will soon be-
come home for impoverished Confed-
crate veteran soldiers.
Beauvoir is the most beautiful and
imposing place on the Gulf coast. 1t
was settled and improved by James
Brown, wealthy planter, who was law
ish in the expenditure Of his abundant
means in building and beautifying his
home. Oaks, cedars and magnolias vie
with each other in adding charm, and
the long, gray moss fills in any little
details that are lacking. The mansion,
as it was termed. is as good as it was
the day it was built, over GO years ago.
A gallery 80 feet long and 14Ia feet
wide borders the building in front and

Value of Sea Lettuco.

The so-called sea lettuce (ulva latis-
SINAI grows luxuriously in the shallow
parts of Belfast harbor. where the wa
ter is almost constantly polluted by
sewage. and often drifts ashore In
thick layers, where 1t rots during the
summer and autumn and becomes Sc
rious nuisance The decomposition is
SO like animal putrefaction that inves-
legations were begun by Prof. Let's.
1t was found that the dry weed con.
tains as much as 60 per cent Of nitro
gen. corresponding to 80 per cent of al
buminoids, which is very high for a
plant. Bringing the lettuce, before
and after it's fronds had develOped, in
contact with polluted sea water, it was
observed that the nitrogenous matter
ammonia and nitrates contained in
sewage-was absorbed from the sea
water to which it was added in five
hours The sea lettuce would thus ap-
pear to be capable of acting as a
scavenger. There are other seaweeds
and fresh water plants. including an
algo, capable Of absorbing ammonia,
and it was hence suggested that these
weeds might be utilized as purifying
agents. either alone or for final treat

Russian emigration to this country,
while not large in members Of the Rus
sian church, has, nevertheless, brought
to this country enough Of them to form
churches in number Of eastern manu-
featuring centers. These are in charge
of missionary priests sent out from
Russia, and Bishop Tikhon finds 1t nec-
essary to spend as much time in the
east as the west. The church in New
York was therefore built, money being
subscribed In Russia for the purpose,
in order that the church might have
eastern headquarters.
The building is of distlnctlvely Rus
sian style and of character different
from any other In New York. The audi
torium is almost square and very high,
extending into a central dome 100 feet
or more above the floor. A sanctuary
screen from Russia Is to be placed be-
tween nave and chancel The building
adjoining the church Is the residence

The hall is 16 feet wide and opens at
the rear OH wide gallery, on which
right as the hall is entered from the
front was Miss Winnie's room. What
Mecca this room will be for the veter-
ans, and how they will cherish every
thing that belonged to the Daughter
OF the Confederacy."
Equally distant from the mansion,
east and west, are quaint little cot
tages. Originally there was only one
room in each, surrounded on the four
sides by wide galleries. Later one and
two sides have been inclosed, giving
two additional rooms. 1t Is about the
east cottage that the principal interest
centers, for it was in this that Mr.. Da-
Wis studied and wrote, and where Miss
Winnie did much of her early literary
work. The main room of this cottage
was Mr.. Davis private library. The
walls are lined with book shelves, and
little gallery runs along the upper
shelves. This was reached by small
ladder. Near the fireplace Is where Mr..
Davis desk stood, and the door beside
1t Is spattered with ink thrown from
his pen when he was writing his book.
''The Rise and Fall Of the Confederate
Government" The east room has been
enclosed and in this room the chieftain
was wont to recline and rest on a sofa.
Back Of this was a tiny room where
Miss Winnie wrote. 1t is a real girls
den, and is yet quite characteristic OF
the former fair occupant.
The west cottage was occupied by
Mrs. Hayes, the older daughter, and
her children when visiting her parents.
The Beauyoir home was bequeathed
by will to jefferson Davis by Mrs.
Sarah Anna Dorsey. of Louisiana.
