MARCoNIS OF AFRICA.
Basutos Got Boer War News by a Sys-
tenn of Wireless Telegraphy.

From the Kansas City Star.
Marconis system of wireless telegraphy
has a rival, which is already centuries old
and was in operation long before Franklin
drew the electric spark from the clouds
down a kite string or before Morse devised
his system of dots and dashes over the
electric wires. The Rev c. A. Rideout.
n missionary of the African Methodist
Episcopal Church of America, who re-
turned to this city lately on furlough after
four years labor among the native tribes
of South Africa in the territory lying west
of Natal. described this remarkable sys-
TEN of wireless communication to the
writer.
Shortly after l began work among the
subjects of King Lerothrodi, the hereditary
ruler of the Basutos. l discovered that they
had a system whereby the villages could
communicate with each other, used in
times of peace to convey messages from
one chief to another, and frequently to
the monarch himself, and In times of war
to transmit the intelligence of victories
and defeats. In every village there is a
class who are utilized as scouts. Among
these guards there are always two or
three men trained to the use of the gourd
drum
"A large gourd such as those grown in
many parts of the United States Is hol-
lowed cut and thoroughly dried. Then kid s

process, which makes 1t as hard and thin

low of the gourd. 1t is beaten with a pad

which can be heard distinctly at a distance
of from five to eight miles. The Basuto
country Is mountainous and the villages lie
along the mountain sides and in little val
leys or glens, seldom being at high ele-
walton.
1.-THE guard who has been trained to the
use of the signal code-whicn is practically
an African Morse alphabet-beats the mes
sage on his drum in the open air, and the
sound is carried across the valleys and
glens to the next village where 1t Is in
terpreted by another guard. There is al
ways guard on duty ready to receive these
messages. He can tell at once whether the
| message is for his chief or the head man of
his village. in which case he goes to the
head mans hut and makes the communi-
cation verbally. IT, however, the message
| is for distant part, he repeats 1t on his
gourd, and SO 1t is carried from village to
village. with very little loss of time, until
| 1t reaches the person for whom 1t Is in

Il was granted the privilege by King
Lerathrodi of using his gourd telegraph

workers whenever l wished, and often

FRENCH CAVE JEWELLERS.
Habitations followed in the Rocky
Hillsides of Normandy.
From Scribner's.

From Scribner's.
We have often heard Of the cliff jewellers
and are accustomed to think Of them as a
prehistoric race. the remains of whose few
scattered dwellings are a matter of curl
osfty to tourists and prize to antigua
rians. Few people know that at the pres
ent day, there are whole communities in
France whose only habitations are followed
in the rocky hill-sides and whose entire
business life is carried on in caves.
We had seen in Normandy isolated in
stances of people living in habitations half
house and half cave. But they were in far
away towns and villages and only the very
poorest class of people lived in them Our
first real cave city came as a great sur
prise. for we had just left Tours, one of the
most highly civilized cities In France. We
were riding on the road to Vouvray when
suddenly. at turn near Rochecorbon. this
first town OF Cliff jewellers burst upon us.
High above us lowered a huge mass Of
overhanging rock, strata upon strata, bear
ing upon its summit most peculiar tower,
supposed to have been watch tower in
ages gone by. Its foundations hung over
the rock upon which they were built and
1t seemed as though 1t would crash down
at any moment upon the village beneath.
Scattered over the face Of the cliff, door
and windows, narrow stairways and little
belvideres could be seen, qhabitation upon
habitatton, In most picturesque disorder.
Walls along the high road hid the imme-
date foreground. and we looked in vain
for an opening by which we could have a
nearer view of this strange community. At
last we found an open gate, and peeping
through. were greeted by dear little old
woman, whose wrinkled, smiling face was
surmounted by a snowy white cap. Her
doorway was bower of flowers. holly

Badges for Opium Smokers.

From American Medicine.
A government monopoly and a factory for
the preparation of opium has been estab-
lished at Fukien, China. Hereafter all
opium smokers who wish to purchase the
drug must obtain from this establishment
badges which are of three classes, viz:
First, brass badge. which is for the gov
eminent officials: second, paper badge,
which is for the gentry. and third, wooden
badge which is for the common people.
On these badges are written the names OF
the opium smokers, their ages, their ad-
dresses and the quantity of opium they are
allowed to buy daily, which is to be decided
and limited by the government officials and
which cannot be deviated from at any time.
The interest of Americans for this news
consists in the fact that from the province
of Fukien come most of the Chinese of the
Philippines. The Manila Times even thinks
such a method of controlling the opium
abuse in our new dependency should be
adopted by our government

THE AMERICAy SILK INDUsTRY

Statistics just compiled by the Depart
ment of Commerce at Washington show
that the imports of raw silk during the fs-
cal year ended last June 30 were the largest
in the history of the government. The i'm
portations. chiefly from japan, China and
Italy, amounted to 15,271,340 pounds of UNI
manufactured silk, valued at 350,0l1, s19.
finished products worth about $110, 900 coo.
During the last twenty-five years the i'm
portation of raw silk has increased very
rapidly-from 1.011.6s1 pounds, valued at
sf.9ls.S5o in 1875. to 15,271,34O pounds in 1908.
valued at s50.011S19. The number Of silk
factories in the United States increased
from eighty-six in 1870 TO 4S3 in 1900, and
the capital invested in the business from
6.23l. $50 in 1870 to $S10S2. 2Ol in 1900 and the

No convention has ever met in this city
whose members have made as many mouths
water and satisfied as many appetites as
that of hotel stewards, which meets to-day.
Capitalists and syndicates can build hotels,
landlords can run them and clerks behind
big diamonds can give them their proper
place among human institutions, but with
out the steward the labors of the others are
in vain. Eliminate his part and the talk OIL
the rest as to how to run hotel is as
sounding brass or q tinkling cymbal. Even
Mr.. Cook cannot do anything until the stew
ard provides the raw material, and catering
to mems stomachs is more important than
catering to their palates. An Italian proverb
says: God sends meat, the devil sends
cooks" The steward is responsible for the
quality of the viands and not for their prep
aration. Those who are here to-day could
probably give the doctors points on dietetics
which they never dreamed of.
