AN AFRICAN FOREST.
Peculiar Effects Produced by Wind,
Sunlight and Shadow.


Sunlight and Shadow.
An explorer describes a central AZ
RIGA forest: ''Ten miles west Of the
lake begins the only piece Of real vir-
gin forest met with. It is throughout
a dense virgin forest and almost i'm
penetrable. 1t consists of very large
trees Of many varieties The upper
parts are festooned with a light gray
ish green moss hanging in long stream
ers and giving to the forest a very fam
tastic appearance. When these long
streamers are agitated by storm they
make the whole forest, seen from one
Of the hills near, look like a rough sea.
Again, when the sun is vertical the
whole forest appears dark, but when
the sun is low the general effect on
the sunny side is curiously light.
"All the trees are bound together
with innumerable lianas and creeping
plants. Between the stems is a dense
tangled mass Of lesser vegetation. The
forest stands to a great extent in the
water and mud Of the swamp. A
singular feature OF it is the abruptness
with which it begins and ceases on the
plain. The grassy swamp or open
country reaches to the mighty wall Of
trees, which continue in the same den
sity from one side to the other. There
is no smaller wood or scrub outside
forming a transition from the open
plain to the forest.
Inside, the silence and gloom are
accumulated by the apparent absence
Of animal or bird life. There are some
herds of buffaloes that make it head
quarters, elephants visit it occasional
ly, monkeys and parrots are sometimes
seen, and harnessed antelope now and
then appears at the edge, but the gen
eral impression left is one Of lifeless-
ness"

M AS BADLY INJURED
John Droehouski has his Foot
Badly Crushed in a Fan at the
allen Tannery on Thursday
WANTED TOIDRY HIS CLOTHING

John Droehouski, Polish 1aborer,
met with an unusual accident at the
Allen Tannery late Thursday after !
noon which may resu1tSins his losing
the use Of his left foot. 6 Droehouski
was at work in one of Independents
Of the tannery when he happened to
make mis-step and his foot went in
to one of the watts of liquor. The man
was soaked to the skin and with the
usual imbecility ofaa workman Of his
class he decided to take unusual risks
to dry his clothing. Aslarge fan was
operating near the vatssinto which he
had steppedsand Droehouski went to
the fan and, laying down on his back,
he pushed his foot into the mouth of
the fan. The clothing were dried in
short order but the ssuction was SO
great that the man9was being drawn
into the big fan. The leg Of the man
had been drawn into the fan before
his peril was discovered by other
men employed in this9portion of the
big plant. They rushed to his assist
lance but aid didanot reach him until
after the bones Of Ethe foot had been
crushed in the fan.
When the machinery had been
stopped Droehouski Gwas taken out
bruised and bleeding and a hurried
call for the ambulance was sent. He
was removed to the Kenosha hospital
in a semi-consciouss condition and the
physicians found that the foot had
been terribly bruised and the bones
broken. It is possible that the physi-
clans will be ab1e.to save the foot but
it is probable that the man will carry
through life some mark Of his indis-
cretion.
No blame for the accident is at
tached to any of,the men at work in
the room as Droehouski deliberately
stuck his foot into thesfan.

NEW HEAD FOR ZION
W. G. voliva Named to Succeed
j. c. Speicher as Head Of
DoWie's Famous City
TO HAVE ENTIRE CONTROL

At the weekly rally Of the followers
Of John Alexander Dowie in Shiloh
tabernacle, Zion City, last night,
public announcements was made of
the appointment of Wilbur Glenn
Vollva as deputy general overseer of
all the affairs Of Zion throughout the
world. This is an office created for
the emergency and places Voliva
above all other offices in the church
save the first apostle, DR.. Dowie him
self.
The announcement was made by
Judge v. Y. Barnes, who read copy
of the cablegram sent by DR.. Dowie
in Jamaica to Voliva in Australia as
follows
II have appointed you deputy gen
eral overseer. Legal documents will
be found executed on your arrival at
Zion City. You will take absolute
charge of the direction of all bust
ness affairs under these powers from
date Of your arrival. Proceed direct,
therefore, to Zion City, where you
will find Instructions
Acting under these instructions,
Overseer Voliva left Melbourne Jan.
IS with his family. They arrived at
San Francisco Tuesday and are ex-
pected in Zion City Monday next.
It was generally supposed that Vo-
Iva was to succeed DR.. J. G. Speicher
as overseer of Zion City, but his au-
thority is far greater and extends over
all ecclesiastical branches and bust
ness enterprises of the church
throughout the world. With full
powers of attorney, which await him
here, Vo1iva will be authorized TO act
in all things as Dowie himself.
Voliva is an Indiana man, having
been born near Newton, Fountain
county, in 1870. He is a graduate Of
Union Christian college at Marion,
Ind, and of Hiram college in Ohio,
receiving the degrees Of A. B. and B.
D. He is said to be man of great
executive ability. His work Ia Aus
tralia has been more successful than
that of any other overseer and has
sent more than 200 converts to Zion
City. His appointment confirms the
belief of many that he would be
chosen to succeed the head of the
church in case of DR.. Dowle's death

THE HORN BILL.
A Bird That ImDrtsOns His Mate DUR
ing the BroOding Season.

a kB1rO TMtlt AmpF1SOD@ E11S mate DWF~
ing the Brooding Season.
A remarkable mode Of Incarceration
is practiced by the hornbills, birds
with immense bills and horny crests,
which inhabit southern Asia, the Ma
layan islands and central and southern
Africa. In most if not all species the
brooding female is walled up in hol-
low tree and fed by her mate.
She remains confined in her prison
until the eggs are hatcled, and in some
species until the young birds are able to
fly. Meanwhile the mother has become
temporarily incapable Of flight, as she
has NOTED, or at least shed all ner wing
feathers, during her captivity. But the
male is interchangeable in providing for
his family and is said to work SO hard
that he is reduced almost to a skeleton
at the end Of the brooding season.
According to the theory Of many ma
tives, the female is imprisoned to pre-
vent her neglecting her duty of brood
ing and If she has been unfaithful or
negligent her mate closes the little
window of her cell and abandons her
to painful death by suhocation. The
true story, perhaps, is this: The female
walls herself In so that she cannot fall
/ from the nest after losing her feathers
and also to protect herself from enc
mics. The building material is her own
excrement. This version Is less poet
zeal than the other, but It Is probably
nearer the truth. It is supported by
the statement that the female liberates
herself as soon as the young birds are
well grown, SO that her prison Is less
formidable than 1t appears. Scientific
