America's Oldest Piano,

From the Kansas City Journal.
 Americas oldest piano, now owned by Charles w. Gray of Portsmouth, N. H., has undergone many and varied vicissi- tudes during it's nearly a century and d haQ of existence.
 It was built in London by Jonathan Example in 1763 and 21 years later was brought to the United States for John Jacob Astor. 1t was with difficulty that the strings were kept from rusting dur ing the long passage across the ocean and after it's arrival in New York the

BuffaIoes Are Dangerous.

In point of danger the natives of this territory regard the buffalo herds as the most dangerous to encounter, and where a travelling party of porters will scarce notice the roars of a lion, the sounds of a buffalo herd will send them into panic This much dreaded beast is tricky and brave, and huntsman needs all his skill to make his kill Wounded, the buffalo resorts to ruse of retreat ing into +'a brush, tempting the hunts

much drier atmosphere caused the wood work to crack.
 For nearly 40 years the piano re mained in the Astor family when it went into the possession of the late G. Alexan- der Emery of Boston On the death of Mr Emery Sr the piano passed to his son, and on his removal from Boston to Forts mouth he took the highly treas ured instrument with him and up to the time of his death, some few years ago, could not be persuaded to part with the valuable old relic.

Packs of Wild Dogs.

No hunters can ever be said to have enjoyed all the experiences of the Afri-
 can jungle without an adventure with
 wild dogs, which roam in packs and are the dread of the natives The cry of these animals is not unlike that of leopards or smaller game, and once heard the natives fly to the tops of trees These mongrel dogs have low bodies, covered with thick, bushy hair. A hunter wounding a wild dog Must,

Elephant Hunting.

The hunting of elephants is much re- stricted in.the territory which the Roose- welt party will cover. and the killing of these mammoths Is regarded as little less than slaughter. Modern rifles make the killing of elephants easy to accomplish
 and without much danger to the hunter
 Hunting for hippopotami is also limited, as the animal is hard to locate, and only found in remote places along the rivers and lakes. The "hippi' is tinid and not considered dangerous unless his escape to the water is cut off or he is wounded.

The tendency of American drama
lists has been metaphysical lately,
and why may not Woolf and VierecE
have plunged forward originally n
that direction? Why charge that they.
like their main character, are vam-
piristic?
However. the makers OF this
strange drama-so strange with its
theme of mental telepathy as to b.
wide open to ridicule-have not been
so reckless as to do without a love
story. They let us know that the
victim of their vampire, next after
his college mate, was his sweetheart,

from whose voice he drew away the
heart notes and soul tones, leaving
her to be killed by failure withou,

audience easily guesses why.
The vampire has drawn from her
in their close association the artistic
essence of her nature. But ne loves
her other than paternally and would
save her from his absorptive outrage.
In sending her away to work safely

passion, and she. In her astonish-

LIGHT WITHOUT HEAT.


Living lamps from luminous bac.
terra are shedding light on certain
sciences. Prof. III. Morlisch of Prague
has experimental especially with the
'cOmmonest variety. the bacterlum
phosphoreum. and with them has sue
ceeded in making lamp which furn-
ishes enough light for Photographic
purposes. its rays also attracting
terminating plants.
The professor has shown that the
luminosity Of Twin gorganisms is a
chemical process giving rise TO the
formation of a substance in the in
terror of cells which in the presence
OF free oxygen ana water becomes
luminous. This he has tentatively
called 'photogen."
Prof. Morisch has succeeded in pre-
pairing with a glass flask filed with
gelatin that has been vaccinated with
a colony Of these bacteria a perpet-
ual lamp. Its light intensity is less
than that of any candle. but II sufIices
for Photographic purposes, and II Is
capable Of inducing terminating
plants like peas OF lentlls to turn to-
ward il as source OF light energy.
The most striking feature of the
light Is the total absence OF heat rays
Thus the bacteria solve problem
which is the despair Of engineers and
which is to convert energy into light
without loss due to heat.--Chlcago
