number now about 232 1000. 1t is safe
to say that this number does not COM

STEER CLEAR Of
THE WEST COAST
GLOBE TROTTERs NOT FREQUENT
IN THAT SECTION OF THE
DARK CONTINENT.
of the Ne
tions and Towns Are Filthy and
Uncouth-Secretary Of P~resbyter-
ian Board Of Foreign Missions
Making Trip to that Section.


New York, Feb. 1.-The globe
trotter'' has not yet appeared in large
numbers on the west coast of Africa,
partly because of the time which has
to be spent to reach that section of the
dark continent, and partly because the
home of the black man has few attrac-
tons for the tourist. Unusual interest,
therefore, attaches to the tour now be,
made by Rev. DR.. A. Woodruff Halsey,
a secretary of the Presbyterian board
o. foreign missions, who is making the
first visit ever paid by a Presbyterian
missionary secretary to the mission
stations of that board in west Africa.
Word of DR.. Halsey's visit to old
Calabar, once a famous slave market,
has just reached America, and he tells
how the trader, the missionary and
the British government have changed
the character of the place and made it
fl to dwell in. The native towns sur
rounding the city are described as
filthy and uncouth, but improvement
is constantly being made even though
the native mind is still held by the
"Ju-Ju" or Fetish" to such an extent
that a bundle of wood, bearing a charm
of Goth or shell, placed on it with an
appropriate curse. is supposed to be
safe from thieves: fear of the charm
and curse keeping them away.
DR.. Ha!sey describes a church SER
vice in English for the negro popula-
ton of foreign birth, in the course of
which a negro baby was baptized. No
fewer than twenty-seven persons, he
says, god fathers, mothers, sisters,
cousins and aunts,' stood up" with
and for the child, the colors of the
rainbow being represented in the little
group about the pulpit. In strong con-
trast was the baptism of a white baby.
the daughter of a medical missionary
at C~reektown, about eight miles from
Calabar. This was held IN the after
noon of the same day that saw the
negro baptism, and every trader, mis-
sionary and traveller attended, white
babies being a rarity in that country.
Everybody vas much interested in
the baby, especially the traders, who
are compelled to leave their families
at home. Everybody wanted to hold
the child so that the little lady was in
danger of nervous prostration. The
service was held in a church which,
costing 10000, was entirely given by
native Christians, and a strange fea
ture was the collection plates, ooGen
boxes three feet by two, to accommo-
date the many brass rods which con
stitute the common currency of the
inland towns. DR.. Halsey reports that
negroes are governed wisely and justly,
and says that, contrary to rumors he
heard before reaching Africa, the best
of feeling prevails between the mis-
sicnaries and the traders; both work
ing earnestly for the betterment of the
native.

INSECT USED HER BRAINS.


Provided Provisions.
The deliberate use of a too by a
little sand wasp might well be sup
posed to indicate reasoning power. A
w%ell-known naturalist, DR.. Peckham,
watched 4 wasp dig a hole in the
earth and deposit therein an egg. to
sether with a spider, which she had
stung into paralysis, to feed the grub
which should be Matched in due course.
Then she filed up the hole with sand
or earth, and jammed it down with
her head.
when at last the filling was level
with the ground, she brought a guam
tity of fine grains of dirt to the spot.
picked up a small pebble in her man
dibles, and used it as a hammer in
strokes, thus making this spot as hard
and firm as the surrounding surface.
Before we could recover from our as
tonishmert at this performance, she
had dropped her stone and was
bringing more earth. In a moment
we saw her pick up the pebble, and
again pound the earth into place with
1t. Once more the whole process was
repeated, and then the little creature
flew away"
1.-THE whole of this performance"
writes Sir Herbert Maxwell in Memo
ries of the Months. 'is so unexpected
that even DR.. Peckham's high repu.
tation as a scrupulous observer might
fail to convince skeptics that he had
lot been deceived; but similar be-
havior or the part of a wasp Of the
same species has been recorded indie.

A PLEA TO PARENTS,
Picture OF Young Girls Abroad at
kioht Without Chaperon,

Fatl ers and Mothers: II you have
a young daughter this picture-which
is no fancy one-is for you. says d
writer in the Syracuse Journal. 1t is
long after curfew. Ogling men lean
on sidewalk ratings and wait at
street orners. There they come
down the street arm in arm-two
young girls with fresh. rosy faces.
Abundant braids of hair fall down
their backs. Natty little gowns come
to the s%hoetops. They are school
girls and in their early teens.
There is no chaperon and no escort.
The girls are out alone and the hour
is rather late. Young men and the
girls are strangers to one another,
and yet there is some sort of free
masonry between them. The glances
of the young men are bold. The eyes
Of the girls are not timid as they turn
them backward with the hint of a
smile. Flippant words are exchanged.
But what a Il do? If their nat.
ural guardians are not there to pro-
tect. what right have you to inter
fere? Here and there may be found
q brave spirit whom a great pity will
move to stay and warn. and take the
rick. but good Samaritans are few.
And so young girls-infant women
with fine passions and powers of wom-
Notwithstanding to tread the prim.
rose path Of d%alliance, go down to
ruin.
Whose fault is it? Is it the fault
of the girls? Who sen them out into
the night or permitted them to go
unprotected? Who failed or neglect
ed to warn them of temptation? Who
supposed when they had dressed their
girl as well as the neighbor girls
their duty was done?
There Is only n answer to these
questions-father and mother.

UNIDENTIFIED MAN is
KILLED AT MILL FIRE
Santa Fe Planning Factory Burns to
the Ground, Entailng Loss
of $25,OOO

Fire, which was discovered at 2
o'clock this morning at the Santa Fe
Planning mills, at 950-96O East Fourth
street, owned by G. P. Dodge, caused
the death of one man and the destruc-
tion of $4,000 worth of property.
The man, evidently laborer, but
possessing no means of Identification
upon his person, was a spectator stand
ing near one of the burning buildings
when he was struck by falling live
wire. The body was taken to Bresee' s
morgue
The fire, which was of unknown
origin, was discovered in the Office of
the company by Charles Woods, a
milkman, making his rounds, and
spread with alarming rapidity to the
adjoining sheds and buildings. BY the
arrival of the fire department it had
crossed the street to the grocery store
of w. G. Longstrath, where a damage
OF $1,000 was incurred.
The flames sprang high into the air,
lighting up much of the eastern por-
tion of the city, and in spite of the
early hour called forth thousands of
spectators
