DEATH OF SAMUEL p. LANGLEY
Noted Scientist, Secretary of the
Smithsonian Institution, Passes
Away at Acknowledgement Will
Probably be in Boston.

Aiken, S. c., February 27.-S. p.
Langley, secretary of the Smithsonian
institution, and known as a scientist
throughout the world, died at noon to-
day.
Washington, February 27.-Profes-
O Samuel P. Langley, who died at
Aiken Is. c., today, had a slight stroke
of paralysis on November 22nd, which
affected his right side. He was grad
ually recovering from this attack when
on the advice Of his physician he went
south to escape the more rigorous
months of February and March in this
city. His mental faculties were unim-
paired land he received his friends
here and occasionally attended to BUS
mess matters prior to his departure.
The immediate cause of his death was
not stated in the brief telegram sem
from Aiken to the Smithsonian Off
Gals He was accompanied at Aiken
by a niece and an attendant.
Professor Langley was ~ years old.
His whole life had been devoted to
scientific work. Though by profess
sion a civil engineer and architect,
astronomy occupied most of his time.
Several years ago Professor Langley
conducted a series of experiments with
a flying machine at Whitewater, Vir-
ginia, or the Potomac river, the re-
suits of which were watched with
widespread interest. The experiments,
however, ended disastrously.
1t was "A singular coincidence that
on the day of Professor Langley's
death, the question of appropriations
for flying machines came up inciien~
tally during the debate in the house
while the army appropriation bill was
under consideration.
The body will be brought to Wash
ington Thursday. Interment proha-
bly, will be in Boston.

Modes ct Robes a Ia Congo.

The forest tribes, to whom cleanliness by water is impossi- ble, smear their bodies with palm oil and a kind of red ochre, which they afterwards scrape off. The original costume of few leaves, or an exceedingly small apron made from fbrous bark, for women, and a loin cloth of the same material for men, has yield ed to the superior attraction of common cotton goods, which now reach them from far away Manchester or Saxony. These stuffs. ornamented by large pat terms in flaming reds or yellOWs, delight the eye and rejoice the heart of the Congolese maid and matron, while such of the men as desire to stand we'll with the gentler sex will also condescend to use them. In every tribe chil
 dren of both sexes are entirely nude until they reach the age of puberty. In at least one tribe neither men nor women wear any covering. In a few tribes 1t Is customary for the women to re- main nude until they are mar ried. Some women denote their married state by covering their breasts with strange ornaments, while others secure this object by elaborately dressing their hair, which they build up to a great height by aid of palm fibre and gum. Both men and women, of whatever tribe, ornament themselves with just as many collars, bangles and anklets as they can obtain. Without excep- tion the possession of few strings of colored beads is tC them source of great happiness
 They gaze upon such treasures with delight and guard then with jealous care.-From ''The Story of the Congo Free State,

A Delicate Compliment.

Many delicate compliments have been paid the fair sex by men subtle in speech, but here is one straight from the heart of an illiterate negro that is difficult to excel. It is recalled Ey the Rev. c. P. Smith of Kansas City in telling the story of marriage fee.
 "When I was preaching at Walla Walla," he said, "there was no negro preacher. in town, and I was often called upon to perform ceremony between ne- groes. One afternoon after had married young negro couple, the groom asked the price of the service.
 "Oh, well," said 1, ''you can pay me whatever you think 1t Is worth to you"

SAVED plY LIFE

That's S what a prominent druggist said of Scott's Emulsion a hort time ago. As a rule we don't use or refer to testimonials in addressing the public, but the above remark and similar expressions are made so often in ConneC- tion with Scott's Emulsion that they are worthy of occasional note. From infancy to old age Scott's Emulsion offers a reliable means of remedying. inn proper and weak develop ment, restoring lost flesh and vitality, and repairing waste. The ac t i o Il of SCott's Emulsion is no more of a secret than the composition of the Emul- sion itself. What it does it does through nourish- ment-the kind of nourish- ment that cannot be Ob- tained in ordinary food. No system is too weak or delicate to retain Scott's Emulsion and gather good from 1t.
