HORROR OF AFRICAN NIGHT.
Traveller Describes Peculiar Condl-
lions That Exist in Regions Of
the Dark Continent.

Caroline Kirkland, in her book on
"Some African Highways" writes of
night in the dark continent: There is
nothing so black as an African night,
and think that it is because the
earth, being a deep red, offers no re-
Election to the faint starlight, such as
we get In other lands Instead it
wallows up what slight glow there
may be, and gives to the darkness h
dense, velvety quality not to be found
anywhere else. Overhead the stars
glare more brilliantly than in north
ern ATTITUDES, but they seem to cast
no light, and the night is palpable,
suffocating appalling and filled with
a nameless horror which is quite in.
descrbable."
In single sentence the same writer
gives a forcible idea of the sleeping
sickness: while there is nothing
acutely distressing about this man.
ner Of dying, nothing to equal the ter
rors Of other vital diseases like can
Ger or tuberculosis, there is some
thing peculiarly sinister in the slow,
stealthy, irresistible approach OF
death, whose course no known remedy
can stay or alter
OF African lions Miss Kirkland
writes: "As a rule it is only old lions
who attack human beings. They grow
too decrepit to be able to catch the
more agile antelopes who are their
lawful prey, so, goaded by a hunger
which age cannot wither or lessen,
they pounce on unWary mortals.

Made impressive Exhibit.

The exhibit on the ground floor OF
the American Museum OF Natural
History, New York, illustrating the
solar system, has been altered so as
to be more comprehensive and instruc-
tive. The sun Is now represented by
an illuminated globe three inches in
diameter, which brings the orbit Of the
earth just within the foyer. The
foyer, therefore, now contains the
whole of the orbits OF Mercury, Venus
and the earth and part of that Of Mars.
while the adjoining exhibition halls
contain the remainder OF the orbit Of
Mars and parts Of those OF Jupiter and
Saturn. The orbits are represented by
circles OF wire on which the days and
months are indicated and along which
the planets, shown as lights of proper
size, are moved from day to day In
correct position.

Dickens Method Of Speaking.

Before making a speech Charles
Dickens would decide on his various
heads and then in his minds eye lik
en- the whole subject to the tire Of a
cart wheel-he being the hub. From
the hub to the tire he would run as
many spokes as there were subjects
to be treated and during the progress
Of the speech he would deal with each
spoke separately, celebrating them as
all the spokes dropped out one by one
and nothing but the tire and space re-
NAMED he would know that he had
accomplished his task and that his
speech was at an end.

American Girls Responsible.

Probably the American woman Is
answerable for a good deal OF the
unrest among the daughters of France
for she comes among them with all
sorts of daring projects and perfectly
lovely clothes. She marries their
brothers, she studies art, music and
literature in their country and she
walks serenely on along the path Of
liberty, to the amazement of men,
angels and the Parisian.-The Queen.

Higher Prices For Horses.

BILLINGS, Sept. l3.-Never in the
history of the state have the prices of
horses been greater than they are at
present, according to the opinion of
John M. Ramsey, one of the pioneer
horsemen of Montana. Animals of
almost every description are in good
demand, but those most wanted are OF
the work variety, which are used on
the farms and ranches.
"Prices range from 800 to $3.50 per
horse" said MIR. Ramsey, land they
are scarce even at these figures. The
settlement of the agriculture lands
throughout eastern Montana, has been
perhaps the principal reaso for the
unusual demand for horses, but l un-
derstand this condition exists gener-
ally throughout the country.
"While We receive good prices we
are also compelled to pay high for
the animals, and must sell on a closer
margin, and many of the deals are on
q credit basis. AS an illustration OF
what We pay, l wrote my check for
50, 500 for II horses"

Canada Claims Polar Territory.

OTTAWA, Sept. l2.-Canada claims
all the land directly north OF the Am
erican continent as far as the pole,
upon which it would be possible to
nail a flag.
This position would be taken, it was
semi-oflcially stated today, in reply
to q question asked in the British
house of commons as to the ownership
OF the north pole, soon after the re-
port of DR.. Cooks and Commander
Pesry's explorations became known,
The question was referred to Canals
for reply.
Canada's answer in effect will be
that all the territory between the nor.
thern boundary and the pole has been
recognized as Canada's Hinterlands.
The islsnds have been formally taken
possession of by Captain Brenier,
Cansds's Arctic explorer, who ia nov
lost in the far north.

Thunder and Milk.

To many persons the curdling of
milk in q thunderstorm is Q mysterious
and unintelligible phenomenon. Yet,
according to scientists, the whole proc
ess is simple and natural. Their claim
is that milk, like most other substan.
ces, contains millions of bacteria.
The milk bacteria that in q day or
two under natural conditions would
cause the fluid to sour are peculiarly
susceptible to electricity. Electricity
inspirits and invigorates them, ss al.
cohol, cocaine or strong tea affects
men,. Under the currents influence
they fall to work with amazing energy,
and instead of taking . couple of days
to sour the milk they accomplish the
task completely IN q half and hour
With an electric battery it is easy or
the same principles to sour the fresh
est milk.

For more than a decade the attention
of the whole world has been eagerly
turned toward the new countries of
northwest America; towards this
whole region as q channel and q
gransry for commerce with the orient.
The worlds fair at Seattle was con.
ceived at the psychological moment
and carried out with an inspired and
dynamic spirit. Now for months
there has been q constant stream OF
visitors crossing Montana to visit the
exposition at Seattle. They cannot
see Montana from car windows.
Montana had nothing at all to say
or chow for itself at the Alaska
Yukon.P Pacific exposition. Inherently
richer, more beautiful, larger than
any of the other exhibiting states,
Montana alone failed to demonstrate
any of its titanic wonders, advantsges,
opportunities. In q large way this
regrettable incident In our recent his.
tory is but q proof Of the truth Of
what Mr.. Hill said last Wednesday.
Montana has not appreciated itself.
Montana has not taken advantage of
it's chances. The state remains a de.

HARRiMAN'S GREAT CAREER.

The death Of Edward II. Hartman,
the we'll known railroad magma ate, calls
public attention to his remarkable
career as an organizer of gigantic
projects, his struggle for supremacy
In railroad affairs, and his success in
accommodating an enormous fortune In
. comparatively briefl period. Start.
ing from the bottom of the ladder,
with no resources except . capacity
for work and . determination to III
coed, Mr.. Hartman became the fore.
most figure of his day in the financing
and operation Of the largest railroad
systems In the world.
A biographical sketch of the de-
ceased relates that Mr.. Hartman was
born In Hampstead, L. l., Feb. 25,
1646, the third son OF Rev. Orlando
Hartman, Jr., rector Of ST. Georges
Episcopal church atiHempstead. The
youth who was to become q multimil.
lionaire knew no ~luxuries, and
worked hard for the little education
he received. At sixteen he found en-
ployment as an errand boy in a
brokers' Office inl Wall street. He
developed into an astute lad, always
ooking for q chance to better himself,
and in 1870 before be was "a years Of
age, he had bought q seat or the New
York stock exchange and paid for /,
with 10000 helmade in speculation.
Hartman madelhis debut as q rail.
road man in 1883, when he became 9
director of the Illinois Central. III
formed q Observation-Disclosures with Jacot
81. Schiff, and his influence in Wal,
street grew rapidly. In 1894 he At
tempted to reorganize the Erie rail
road and was soundly whipped in
fight with the Morgan interests. I'm
daunted he set about to learn the rail
road business in q way to make hin
. master, and so equipped himself TO-
the successful undertaking with tn
Union Pacific.
Harriman's main success started
with the first election of President Nc
Kinley. The Union Pacific road ha,
been in the Ihads of government re
ceivers. Hartman induced the syndi
cate of which he was a member to bu,
1,80O miles of Union Pacific in 1S9
for S75, 900, 900. In q few years tn
road had paid back the money in
vested and also big dividends.
Then followed a series Of financia
movements which startled the world
Hartman actually planned an organ
ization Of all the principal railroad
of America under one head and hi
plans were rapidly maturing up Il
the veryihour of his death.
