Bohn was IN old-time business man

be we'll connected in Germany. For
several weeks Bohn had made threats
against his own life, but friends paid
no attention to him. A few mornings
ago he failed to respond to knocks at
his door.
The room was forced and Bohn was
discovered sitting in the corner CT the
room dead from a bullet hole thre"Sh

ARABS GREET M. LOUBET
4 Brilliant Ceremony Held in the
Algerian Desert.
Tribesmen Express Their Loyalty and the
dent Begins His Return Journey.

El Kreider, Algeria.-President LOU
bet has witnessed remarkable
demonstration by the nomadic tribes
men of the desert who acknowledge the
suzerainty OF France. The tribesmen
gathered in thousands from all parts Of
Southern Algeria for a ceremony of
Oriental splendor.
M. Loubet had heretofore visited only
those sections Of Algeria which show
the advance of French colonization.
He now entered the desert country,
with its sparse and burned vegetation.
where the stretches Of sand and hot
sun produced the curious effects Of mir
age.
The ceremony was held on vast p!a-
teau. Here the tribesmen assembled
from all quarters, some Of them having
iourneyed 300 or 400 miles across the
desert. Their tents were arranged in
circles after the Arab custom; each
tribe occupying a large circle, in the
centre Of which were droves of richly
harnessed camels. The chiefs were
mounted on horses, but the tribesmen
We're on camels, and formed great car
avans. More than 5000 men partici-
pated in the gathering.
A superb tent of camels' hair fabrics
and Arab tapestries had been erected
for President Loubet AS each tribe
passed In review its chief dismounted
and paid homage to the President OF
France, who distributed decorations to
the principal leaders.
After the review came native eXhi-
bition Of sports. There were feats OF
horsemanship and much burning Of
gunpowder, the exhibition ending by a
charge of all the native cavalry, which
wheeled across the plain and galloped
toward the station occupied by the
President, pulling up their horses with
in 300 yards Of his position. A mimic
combat followed. 1t represented the
attack upon and capture Of a caravan
by desert tribe.
The ceremonies were brought to a
conclusion by q grand 'diffa," or Arab
banquet, given by the chiefs in honor
of NJ. Loubet The menu, which was
printed in Arabic and French, included
such desert delicacies as roast Gazelle,
"couscous." and cameps milk. Dances
executed by celebrated native beauties
followed. and after an exhibition of ma
tive methods of hunting. which in
cluded a hare chase by trained falcons,
the days entertainment ended.
The President then started on his re-
turn journey to Saida. The tribesmen.
mounting their horses, rode at full GAL
lop alongside the train as long as they
could keep up the pace. their many COL
ored bornouses fluttering in the wind,
making brilliant picture.
The days entertainment presented q
spectacle of barbaric splendor such as
seldom has been seen by European
eyes.

ham. 1t was set up in 1767, and the
original wooden beam has lately been
replaced by an iron one, after l3o
wears of continuous service. Aside
from this iron beam and cylinder
that was put in new in 1902 the engine
is the same as at first, even to the
connecting rod. For it's special pur'
pose the old engine has been pro-
nounced more economical than many
modern engines, and it IS likely to DO
duty many years more.

by a tree about the size Of chestnut,
bearing ball four and one-half inches
in diameter and six inches long. The
silk is exceedingly light and when the
boil is picked to pieces it looks like
down except that it is glossy. Although
1t can be woven into thread, its chief
utility is for stuffing cushions or quilts
and similar purposes. 1t can also be
adopted for life-preserving appliances
at sea. The characteristic quality is
its extreme lightness. These trees
abound in Paraguay.
