FROM ACROSS THE SEA

A new Ashanti war is inevitable in
Africa, according to a German provin-
cfal paper, the Chemnitzer Allgemeine
Zeitung, which publishes the follow
ing communication, dating from Tark-
va, near Sekondi, on the British
Gold Coast: THE Ashantis have
long been possessors of a massive gol-
den throne of great value and ac-
counted sacred and national relic.
According to the tradition of the
tribe the kingdom of Ashanti would
remain in existence as long as the
throne remained intact. The British
have for many years been attempt
ing to gain possession Of the throne,
but have hitherto been unsuccess-
full Several years ago a certain Ash
anti placed himself in communication
with the British government and
offered to obtain possession of
the throne for the English on con-
dition that he himself was nominated
king of the Ashantis. The British
government agreed to the proposal
and appointed the traitor as chief
tain. The Ashantis, however. sue

same time as the stone wall under the

When the root house walls are up 5
feet at the bank side and feet
inches or 6 inches at barn side, then
put In centers and tagging. supported
by uprights and plate, giving the
centers a rise Of at least one inch in
the foot, that is for a root house IL
feet wide. Have IL inch rise in the
arch centers or ribs; a little more
rise is better. The reason Of having
the arch one foot four inches higher
at the barn side of the roothouse is
to allow for door feet high from
the basement into the root house.
Now carry up the end wall to the
shape and height Of the centers. Put
In three-quarter inch rods from to
D feet apart, at the spring of the
arch having large washer and nut
on each end Of each rod, so as to be
able to tighten them up after the COW
ering is set, and before taking out the
center mould. These rods run through
both walls across the roothouse to
keep the arch from spreading the
walls. (See plan.) A manhole can
be built at the top of the arch at one
end by putting in large tile or by
building a curb for filling with roots;
this serves as ventilator as well.
Also put in small window at each
end wall below the arch to furnish
light. On each end of the roothouse
on top OF the arch a coping wall can
be built to retain the earth. as from
IL to Is inches of earth should be on
top OF the arch to keep out the frost
as well as protect the arch from re-
ceiving injury from heavy loads. For
the arch use five parts gravel to one
part Portland cement. For walls use
eight parts gravel to one part Port
land cement. Stone filters may be
used in the arch and the side walls.

IN AN AFRICAN FOREST

An explorer describes Central
Africa forest: Ten miles west of
the lake begins the only piece of real
virgin forest met with. 1t is through
out dense virgin forest, and almost
impenetrable. 1t consists of very
large trees of many varieties. The
upper parts are festooned with light
grayish- green moss, hanging in long
streamers, and giving to the forest
a very fantastic 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 APP
pears dark, but when the sun is low
the general effect on the sunny side
is curiously light.

ceeded in placing the throne In a safe
hiding place and now they demand
from the British government the de-
thronement of this chieftain. The
British government, in order to pre-
serve it's own prestige, refuses to con-
cede the demand of the natives, so
that a new Ashanti war is inevitable"
Andrew Lang writes of the Aus
tralian. natives: Between tribe and
tribe war for PURPOSES of territorial
aggrandizement is unknown. They
may fight about women, or in the
blood feud, for, as nobody is sup
posed to die natural death, every
death is thought to be caused by hos.
tile magic. Fights are not now reso
lutely waged, but merely to draw first
blood, as rule; and, as there are no
conquests, there are no slaves and
very little material progress. There
are no hereditary chiefs, though
among some socially advanced tribes
a kind of magistracy, or a 'moder-
atorship' of local groups in the tribal
general assembly, is hereditary in the
male line"

FOUND GREAT SALT LAKE

Jim Bridger stands forth as the
most conspicuous figure in the brief
but glorious reign of the trapper and
trailmaker IL the far west. The
greatest fur hunter and the greatest
pathfinder of them all, and possess
ing the most intimate knowledge of
the Indian nature ever vouchsafed a
white man, Bridger will grow in stat
ure as time goes on and accurate
history is written.
No part Of the great Rocky Noun
tain country held secret from Jim
Bridger. He was the first white man,
after John Golfer, to view the won.
ders of Yellowstone Park, and the
first to look on Great Salt Lake.
Seemingly bearing a charmed life, he
wandered through the lands Of many
Indian tribes, sometimes fighting the
red men, but more often living their
life and finding the solace of true
brotherhood at the lodge fire. Every
mountain Jim Bridger climbed, every
stream he crossed, and every game

trail he followed, was written down
in the most marvellous memory ev.
er granted a plainsman. AS result,
years later, when the white men,
bold but blundering, sought the cas-
lest paths over the mountains, Jim
Bridger showed them the best trails
for their wagons and, when the
chief engineer of the Union Pacific
had well-nigh given up hope of get
ting his rails across the Divide, it
was Jim Bridger who showed an
available pass which he had trav-
ersed years before in his trapping
days, and the existence of which no
other white man knew. A few months
ago, this chief engineer, Gen. Gran
vile NJ. Dodge, showed his gratitude
by rescuing Jim Bridger's body from
a neglected grave and interring It at
Kansas City, under an appropriate
monument-probably the first act of
gratitude ever performed for the man
who had put the whole empire of the
west in his debt.-Arthur Chapman,
in Outing Magazine.

A Farm Filter Outfit.

A very good filter for surface wa.
ter can be made Of any suitable re-
ceptacle such as tank or water-butt,
on the bottom of which should be
laid fairly large pebbles or broken
stones to a depth of six inches, then,
over this, six-inch layer of coarse
gravel; over this. nine inches of fine
gravel, and finally, a layer of clean
sharp sand to a depth of ten or
twelve inches A top layer of about
three inches Of fresh sand added
from time to time will keep the filter
in good working order throughout the
season; but 1t should be thoroughly
cleansed and fresh material provided
at least once year. The water for
use should be run off from the bot.
tom OF the filter by means of a draw
tap or syphon into another vessel
kept for service purposes.
