.sImagine a kingdom within king

ssImagine kingdom within klng-

and most fertile region of rich and
fertile Africa, hidden deep In mac
cessible forests and trackless sWamps;
a land whose secrets are so jealousy
guarded, in order that it's owner may
enjoy it's spoils undisturbed, that until
the debate of July, 1908, in the Belgian
House, the world was unaware OF It's
very existence; a land shrouded
darby in mystery, of which the tale
will never be fully told. Somewhere

who is not an agent either of the

THE TOY INVENTOR.
bis Hardest Task Is to Catch the
Fancy of the Public.

BIS Hardest Task Is to Catch the
Fancy of the Public.
The small inventor is an important
factor in the mechanical toy business,
and he earns all of the living he gets
IN thinking up devices. He is most con-
cerned with the small mechanical toys,
and, in addition to the prime requisite
of putting forth something novel, he
must get something which costs as lit
tie as possible and which catches the
fancy of the multitude This last point
IS one which is most difficult to cover.
No student Of the subject has ever yet
been able to discover or deduce the
cycle in which the public taste moves,
and it is still hit or miss as to whether
a figure which walks on it's hands, an
airship with wings or an acrobat who
works by gravity will be the best sell
er. Then, when the invention has been
achieved, the inventor has still the
problem of finding the maker who will
buy it and pay fair price. The in
ventor and maker are in much the
same position as the writer and pub
Usher; both go through the same men
tai turmoil as to the timeliness of the
output and both take the same risks.
The inventor who has been in the
business long learns at last the best
places at which to offer his wares and
has more or less of an idea of what
they ought to- bring him. and once he
has acquired this knowledge his entire
energy is devoted to keeping up with
the demand for newness. Something
absolutely different from anything else
pre- ous,y offered is in general better
tn; an Improvement of an old idea,
on hat is why in mechanical toys the
sa device is seldom seen two seasons
in tceS5ion.- Philadelphia Record.

A MODERN ARCADIA.
Nowhere Are Life and Property So
Safe as In Labrador.

A traveller who recently visited the
coast of Labrador says that nowhere
on earth are life and property held so
sacred as in that little known and bar
rem land. A thousand miles of lonely
seaboard, along which is scattered a
population of some 10000 people, about
one-third OF whom are white, would
seem to give every opportunity for
crime, yet there is no police officer Of
any kind, no court and no jail. Nor
are they needed The only criminal
charge within fifty years was one
against an Eskimo, who shot rival IN
love.
In addition TO the resident Dopula
ton the coast is visited every summer
by about 10000 Newfoundland fisher
men, and, while Newfoundland itself is
not by any means free from criminals,
none appear to come among the fishers
or else the example of the natives of
Labrador causes them to refrain from
any wrongdoing while there. Years
ago a circuit court visited the coast
every summer, but as 1t found nothing
to do 1t was abolished Now should
any serious charge be made against a
imam n magistrate would be sent from
Newfoundland to investigate it-Har-

McClure's Announces a Life or Mrs.
Eddy, and History of Christian Science.
The editorial in the December Nc
Clure's, announcing a life CT Mary
Baker G.. Eddy and history of the
Christian Science movement, is an
indication that McClure's Magazine
has it's finger on the pulse of Ameri-
can life, and is quick to recognize the
psychological moment when an idea
becomes nationally significant. Thir-
ty-one years ago, no one living out
side few back streets of Lynn, Mass !,
had ever heard of Christian Science.
To-day it recruits its believers by
tens of thousands. OF its leader,
Mary Eddy, the editors of McClure's
write:
eff she is genuine in her profess
sions, as her followers ardently be-
lieve, she is one of the great of thu
world; if she is a charlatan, as the
enemies of Christian Science main
tain, she is the queen of charlatanry.
The devotees of Christian Science
have printed whole libraries in her
praise; the enemies of Christian
Science have written even more in
ridicule of her contentious and In
detraction of her career. She has led
a wonderful life, this old woman of
power and mystery. 1t is shot,
illumined, with romance. The very
fact that she, the daughter of poor
farmer, and an unknown dependent
at fifty five, has become rich and
great in the nation at eighty five
that alone is a romance. Yet there
exists no impartial story of this life
and of the cult into which it has
lowered"
The coming series of articles will no
doubt awaken deep hostility in some
quarters, but the American public as
a whole will be glad TO receive an
impartial statement of the facts con-
corning the Christian Science move
ment.

A HISTORIC SHELLFISH.
The Purpura Was Quite a Factor In
the worlds Civilization.

the Worlds Civilization.
A small sea creature has done lot
to assist the development of civiliZa-
ton. It is known as the murex or
purpura. From it the Phoenicians
manufactured the Tyrian purple, the
origin of their wealth and prosperity.
As each sheIlfish yielded but one drop
of the dyeing material and as 800
pounds were needed to dye fifty pounds
of wool the home fisheries became in
time exhausted. Then, finding it neces-
sary to seek a supply elsewhere, the
traders started on the first voyage of
discovery ever made. Owing to this
voyage the Mediterranean, with all the
countries that surround 1t, was dis
covered
Through this small creature also the
first colonies were founded. The Phoe-
nicians. finding it impracticable to
bring home large shiploads of the fish,
built ut those spots where the raw ma
terial abounded factories, which gradu-
ally developed into permanent settle
ments.
And as many of these colonies were
founded on Grecian islands the apt
natives quickly acquired the arts and
industries OF their visitors, which were
soon difaused throughout Greece. and
the first seeds of civilization were
sown.

BELLS AS BAROMETERS.
Their Tone VIII Indicate What the
Weather VIII BE.

Their Tone VIII Indicate What the
Weather VIII BE.
Church bells can serve another pur-
pose besides ringing You to worship.
They make a good substitute for a
barometer. AS the atmosphere is the
sole conductor Of sound from the bell
to the ear it is obvious that the in
tensity and quality of the sound as
perceived by the ear will depend on
the state of the medium through which
it comes. For instance, if bells sound
very distinctly of an evening, this
points to the probability of a wet day
following, since air heavily charged
with moisture conducts sound better
than dry air. So, too, as dense air con-
duets better than light air, bells sound
more clearly when the barometer is
high than when it is low, other things
being equal, and SO, too, with hot and
cold air. These principles are familiar
to all country folk living within the
sound of church bells. About five
miles from Lebekke, in Belgium, there
are some small bells which are called
water BELLS" When they are heard
distinctly in the town rain is sure to
follow.-London Spectator

The Most Chastity Fact About
.vnchin0s

The American Magazine for Decem-
Der contains two notable contribu-
tions to the store of nowledge of the
negro question. One is an extraordi-
nary unsigned letter from Southern
woman. The other, an editorial,
contains q statement of what must be
considered the most CHASTITY fact
about lynchings:
''No one can look nj one of the pho
tographs of a lynching without a
sense of abysmal horror 1t is not
the horror alone or chiefly OF the
thing itself, the ugly, inanimate cen
ter of the tragedy. 1t is the faces of
the spectators that shock our very
souls. They are always laughing
seems to be the note of the gather
ings. Always we see the faces of
little boys grinning cheerfully towards
the camesa. There are women some
times in the crowd, and sometimes
little girls. There is no sign in these
pictures of horror of death, even of
grim satisfaction over a difficult and
obnoxious task performed by neeessi-
ty. The man who called it a lynch-
ing bee appreciated the true feelings
of the lynchers. Leave out the grim
wreck in the centre, and the picture
might be taken for an ordinary
cheerful gathering at county fair
Leave it in, and oh, my brothers! il
it is not the dead, but the living, tina

Distances In Venezuela.

I'll to ask how far distant a place
also how far up or down-in other

rtant, what hills and valleys have
