Electricity TO be Cheaper.

An invention of the greatest i'm.

in the industrial world, has been made
by Roman electrician, Adolph Tome
who has succeeded in solving the prob

His invention will make it possible
to transmit an electric current with 9
loss of a little less than per cent
no matter how great the distance.
1t will be possible. for instance, tx

purposes to the city Of Paris will

Last of a Great Race.

"The Pygmies do not live to a
great age" said Col. Harrison. Life
is hard in the somber Congo forests;
nature is pitiless task-master to this
remnant of the race that once peopled
the greater part of Africa. The rain
that falls in torrents for eight months
transforms the ground into marsh
1t may be added that the pygmies
are remarkably intelligent, that they
appear to have the gift of language to
an incredible degree, that they exec

ore, of forging it, and of making arrow
heads of it without other tools thar
