The British have made several futile
attempts In the last two years to
reach Jebba from the Niger mouth

light draft steamers. At Timbuktu,

NAvles OF oLoeN TIME.
The Precursors of Modern Guns Were
Weapons Of Very Odd
Sort,

Strange to modern eyes would be
the armament of Great Britain's me-
diaeval navy. The very names of
many of the Implements of attack and
defense sound queer. According to
the books. in 1897 the vessels of the
navy were furnished with "espring.
alds," ancient spring guns; ''hau.
bergeons," coat OF mail; "basinets."
small helmets: bows, arrows, doublets,
targets; "pavises.' large shields
placed at the sides and serving the
double purpose Of protection against
the sea and against the enemy; lances
and firing barrels"
AS early as 1888 cannon formed part
of the armament Of ships and about
1872 guns and gunpowder we're COM
monty used. Among the stores belong
three iron cannon, with five chambers.

probably for shot. Another ship had
an iron cannon with two chambers
and one brass cannon with one cham

Among other implements Of war
used at that time were cannon pa.
viors," or stone shot throwers. and
md "murtherers," which were small

were also "basilisks," part pieces"
stock fowlcrs," 'sakers'' and BON.

bound together with iron bands. They

Tonic Effect Of Laughter.

We are not disposed to say anything
about the physiology of laughter, but
VIC are prepared to affirm that as
tonic there is nothing within the possi-
bilities of human experience that can
match a good, hearty laugh. There Is
democratic about a laugh
that makes it impossible to distinguish
whether it is a prince or a plebeian
who Is moved to merriment. Hardly
greater tragedy could be perpetrated
than to wrest the power OF song from
the birds, but that would be small ca
lainity compared with the flching OF
laughter from life. II the conditions
OF this world could be such a. to al
ford to every human being the fire.
quent enjoyment OF pure. hearty peal
Of laughter there would be no need
that other favors be conferred. Thii
alone would be ample testimony thai
happiness was paramount in the livei

DEPENDENT ON FOOD.
ADEQUATE SUPPLY NECESSARY
TO HEALTHY CIVILIZATION.
Mental Capacity Of Mankind Rests
Upon Proper Physical BUS
tenance-vital Prob
lem,


Mr.. Robert Hunter. whose book,
Poverty" caused such widespread
discussion a short time ago. has an
article on hungry and underfed school
children in the Reader. Among other
things of interest he says:
without certain. regular ana nu.
tritious food supply civilization. such
as We know 1t, could not exist. The
present organization Of society would
be impossible. The size, health.
strength. stamina and mental capacity
OF mankind would be entirely altered
IL the food supply were not what It
Ia. without good food II would be
impossible to do the high grade mental
work which is now done, and the in
tense sustained physical effort Of the
modern workman would be impossible
upon less sufficient diet Indeed, all
that we are. either as individyals or
as q complexly constituted society OF
men, is made possible by the food
supply. Ample food has made strong
virile races, and the lack Of food has
made weak, ineffective races. Perhaps
more than any other condition Of
life, 1t lies at the base of most Of
the social and mental inequalities
among men. The strong, bouncing,
full-blooded babies of the well-to-do
would become. II their food supply
were rendered irregular and Of bad
quality. puny, peevish and anaemic
like those scrawny infants that fret
for hunger in the tenements Of the
poor. For unQuestionably. It IL the
lack Of proper and insufficient food
which Is almost entirely responsible
for the weak. mishapen little legs, the
eon-breasts. the weak, watery eyes.
the exhaustion. the languid bodies and
even the feeble minds Of 50 many Of
the children of poverty stricken pa
rents.
II think nearly all charity workers
fail to realize this fact sufiiciently, AMI
they are apt to deceive themselves q
great deal in such matters They are
emphasizing 80 much In their own
minds responsibilities Of moral kind.
and they fear 50 much certain moral
dangers that the purely physical and
material things Of life are sometimes
overlooked. They are 90 afraid Of
the social ruin involved in pauperism
that the more serious and the more
widespread ruin which results from
hunger is sometimes forgotten. As q
result Of this attitude Of mind, they
do not give much time to discussing
or to learning the meaning Of the hun
ger Of children: It is something 20 in.
yolyed in the family Affairs; Il is n
dincuft to disentangl& II from other
thihgs apparently Of greater i%Isr'
tance that 1t Is almost ignored. They
either do not realize or do not recall
that for every hungry child overlooked
the germ of a social problem Of an.
other generation has been neglected.
Nor do they quite realize that we shall
not get through with the little ones
who are underfed until we have paid
over and over again, in reformatory,
charitable and punitive effort, for our
ignorance of the meaning Of the hun
ger of children"

The new state census WIN probably
show a population in New York city
of close upon 100000 inhabitants.
The unrevised figure is 3,SS7 ,696. This
is a gain Of over 100000 a year since
1900, when the first enumeration after
the consolidation OF New York and
Brooklyn showed a population in
Greater New York of S,437 900. Lon
| don has a population at present OF
4536.641. New York Is thus close
second and in all probability will over
take and pass London within another
| generation. The contention that this
is improbable because the metropolitan
area of London includes 6,58l,372 In
habitants is unfounded, because We
have to remember that the actua
urban district Of New York city in
ciudes Jersey City. Hoboken. Newark

!. For ten years past the opinion ha
been gaining ground that the rapi

developments already achieved and

Satan's Kingdom.

The unfortunate disaster by which q
life has been lost on the Welsh noun
tain known as the DEVILS Kitchen has
drawn attention to the curious but
seemingly universal practice OF past
times in naming peculiar natural for
nations after his satanic majesty. 1t
is scarcely an exaggeration to say that
hardly county in the British Isles is
without some place or thing with the
designation devil. All of which prompts
the thought that his satanic majesty
must be holder of a considerable
AMOUNT OF property on this terrestrial
Globe. The DEVILS Punch Bowl, the
DEVILS Bellows, the Devils Beef Tub
The Devils Frying Pan, the DeviPf
Lake, the DEVILS Dixie, the DeviPs
Cauldron, are q few instances which
occur at random, scattered about ir
various parts of the country.-Dundet

WoMEN's NEW EMPLOYMENT
Hired to Run Elevators in Buildings
Devoted to Female In
, terests. &, 49,

Women always seem to be able to
establish some new kind of work, Now
Boston has in several buildings devot-
ed to women's interests, or largely
patronized by women, girls employed
TO run the elevators The idea was in
.roduced by the Women's Educational
and Industrial union, and the Young
Women's Christian association soon
followed.
Except for one janitor," said the
superintendent of the latter institution.
1--WE are all women around here. and to
have two or three boys about to run
the elevator was an unmitigated nuis-
ance. So we discharged the boys and
! hired the girls. Since then we have
been much more comfortable" The
New England hospital for women In
I.oxbury has also introduced elevator
girls, and some Of the millinery and
women's furnishing goods stores in
Boston are taking up the idea.
The girls are all doing the work to
the complete satisfaction OF their en-
ployers and have at the same time sug.
gested q solution for the perp'exing
question of what to do with girl who
has to earn money at an early age
She can run an elevator until she II

Formerly she might have been casf
xirl. but now various mechanical de-
vices are taking the place Of the cast
girl and leaving her without employ
