The Test of Hardness.

A good many people appear to think that resistance to a blow is test of hardness in minerals whereas it is re sistance to erosion. Ignorance of this fact led a man not long ago to eXperi- ment on what appeared to be large and unusually clear garnet of rather light red color. He took a hammer to it and smas shed it to atoms. A diamond is the hardest substance in the world, yet it may be broken by a tap from hammer or even a fall on the sidewalk, as it is apt to split along any of the cleavage lines, which are parallel to it's faces Experts test an undeter- mined gem first with file and after with fragment of stone of differing hardness. If it yields to the file. it is a glass or something no more durable than that.

Their Catlike Curiosity Makes Life Eventful Along the
 Uganda Line.
SIMBA THEIR PET STATION
Agent There Wires That They Sleep on His Platform and Amuse Themselves by Chasing Trackmen Up
 Telegraph Poles.

The lions of East Africa appear to be watching the progress of civilization with deep interest, and nothing has done more to arouse their curiosity and wonder than the trains on the Uganda railroad
 This railroad. from the Indian ocean to Victoria NyanZa, is 5S4 miles long. and between the terminal points are thirty-nine stations. The line is man aged on the system of the Indian rail- roads. and most of the men in the track, train and station service are East Indians.
 The Indian station agent is known as a babu, and he leads lonesome life. Simba, for example, where the lions have been making special study of the railroad system, has only station building, a water tank for the engines and side track, this being one of the places where trains pass each other on the single track road
 The traffic manager at Nairobi one morning received this astonishing tele- gram from the babu at Simba:
 A lion has been bothering me for three nights. He comes up on the station plat form and goes to sleep. Then he walks up and down. scratches on the wall and door and tries to get into the office Please send cartridges for a Snyder rifle by the first train for my protection. have blank cartridges but they are of no use against lions.
 This profound observation has the earmarks of sober truth It is to be believed that the cartridges were promptly supplied, but, if so, they did not make a deep impression upon the lions, for month later another hair raising telegram reached the traffic manager, as follows
 Urgent. To Traffic Manager:
 A lion is on the platform. Please in- struct guard and driver (engineerl to pro- ceed carefully and to make no signals in the yard. Tell the guard to advise pas sengers not to get out here and to be very careful himself when he comes into the office.
 It is not quite certain whether the babu was chiefly solicitous for the safety of the guard or whether he

People Who Never sneeze.

Africans never sneeze," said a globe trotter, and their descendants, the colored people of our own land, If they are pure blooded, don't sneeze either. A cold, damp atmospheric condition is the cause of sneezing. Since it is prac- tically never cold and damp in Africa, no man sneezes there whether he be native or foreigner The natives be cause they have never sneezed in Afri- ca, can't sneeze when they leave Afri- ca-for the same reason perhaps that one who has never been in the water can't swim when he falls overheard. At any rate, be the reason what 1t may, the fact remains that the Afri- can, either in the jungle or on Broad way, never rends the air with a kee- choo. o."-New York Press.

 He learned little that was new in the morning. Paul Westcott was James Westcott's sole heir. He had been caught in hole in Wall street, and it was believed that he had committed the murder in the hope that he might realize upon this fact to borrow the money to save his margins. A letter announcing the action as suicide was clearly shown to be a forgery, though a clever one, and the case indeed looked black.

With a gesture of impatience Elder rose After nine months on a foreign mission the little fiat seemed wonder iully homelike, and he had hoped for an evening of quietude. Probably it was one of the chaps who had heard or his return and who had looked him up With the best of intentions.
 It was all very kind of him. but Fl. aer would rather he had remained away until the morrow. and it was with slight frown that he threw open the door leading to the hall
 lie gave start of surprise as he per ceived woman's figure suhouetted against the brighter light i'll the hall. but Elder was accustomed to receiving strange visitors at all hours and he stepped aside to permit her to enter.
 1t was not until they were in the tiny sitting room that the girl threw back her veil. Elder started back. Erica he cried, this is most inds- creet.'

thought that the lion might take advan- tage of the open door. However this may be, the distress signal from Simba had the immediate result of starting British sportsman in that direction
 He took the next train for Simba, and under the water tank he and the railroad men erected platform about ten feet above the ground. where the Nimrod spent several days waiting for the visitors. His patience was at length rewarded He bagged two lions and lioness, though one lion bit him so severely in the arm when he went up to the apparently dead beast that he spent three months in a coast hos pital.
 There was nothing doing for several weeks after the great day when three Hons had been laid low within a few rods of the station. Then came an other nervous telegram:
 Extra urgent! Track hand was sur- rounded by two lions while returning from signal box. He climbed telegraph pole near the water tank. He Is up there yet. Order train to stop there and take him aboard.
 The track man succeeded in reaching the station before relief arrived. For several days the telegraph wire was burdened only with routine dispatches Then another episode was proclaimed In the following shape:
 To Guard and Driver of Down Train:
 Carriage of secretary Is on the siding. where he shot a lion just now, and others are roaring on Makindu side. Driver must proceed without signals and stop engine opposite station. Guard must not get out of the brake van.
 Later advices have not yet come to hand, but if any station master is find ing life monotonous and longs to have dull routine peppered with incident and adventure perhaps he may arrange to swap Jobs with the babu at Simba.

FLOODS IN BRAZIL
Have Caused an Enormous Loss of
Life and Property.

Rio Janeiro, Brazil, Feb. 9.-The
river Parahyba has overflowed its
banks and the lower part of the town
of Campos is under water. The
water has risen twelve feet on ac-
count of recent torrential rains. A
terrible situation exists and many
houses collapsed and the occupants
were rescued with the greatest diff
Guilty. Communication with the
town of Reion is interrupted and the
inhabitants are panic-stricken and
have fed to the high lands. The
loss is enormous.
