[. E.P.8S. W.RY. IS ID CHANGE
 SERVICE

DOUGLAS, Sept. 7.-(Special. .)-
 On the Fl Paso and Southwestern railroad there is a system. of giving the tran conductors an opportunity to express their desires. if they have any for a change iE runs. This system consists of the conductors putting in a bid ct the end of every six months for a change from one run to another. These changes are granted in the order of the length of service of the men. The b.ds for changes were all due in the general office last night and as result there will be several changes of the con ductors. Of course only a few wifi be effected as nearly all have asked to be retained in their old positions.
 The change which VIII be the most noticeable Tn Douglas will be that of Tom Purcell. who has been running the passenger train between this city and Bnson ever since it was put in serv.ce. Mir. Purcell will hereafter be on Nos. 1 and 2 be- tween Fl Paso and Benson. Pureell will take the run of James Marshall. who has asked and received the po- sition of condnctor on the Courtland branch. Both Purcell and Marshall have been with the Fl Paso and Southwestern since before the con struction of the line to Fl Paso. Mir. Purcell stated to the International last n ght that be would move his home to El Paso as result of his change in the train service.
 Besides the changes noted above there were the following: Conduct or Sparks goes from the Courtland branch to the former run of Tom Purcell between Douglas and Bisbee.
 Conductor wattles takes the stub run between Bisbee and Osborne and Douglas.
 The various passenger runs on the western division are now assigned to the following:
 Nos. l and 2-Lundy with Field as brakeman; Caruthers, Coins as brakeman; Purcell. Quail as brake man.
 Nos. 3 and 1, west-sparks. con ductor, and Meagher, brakeman.
 Nos. and east-Williams, con ductor, Lewis and Walker, brake men; wineland, conductor, Ryan and Dow, brakemen; Parker, COZ ductor, Heinr.cx3 and Ryan, brake men.
 Tombstone branch-Davey, COB ductor Smith and Ray, brakemen.
 Bisbee stub-Wattles, conductor, and Solomon brakeman.

steam engine and the luxurious coach have rolled in to relieve the patient camel and the ebony-skinned burden bearer.
 This transformation is emphasized by the recent return to America of Prof Alexander Agassiz and his son from Uganda. That the former, in spite of his advanced age, could not only make the journey but refer to it as pleasure trip" seems surprising 10 those who remember the world wide enthusiasm with which was re ceived, scarcely three decades since. the news of StanIey's visit to the same section of Africa
 It is interesting to every American to note that while ST Samuel Baker and others exerted an indirect infiu- ence in the same direction, the visit of Stanley laid the real foundation for European rule in eastern equatorial Africa. As soon as Stanley entered Uganda-the great native kingdom be yond Victoria Nyanza-he found con ditions so far superior to those among the African coast tribes that he at ouce grasped the possibilities of the section as a center for the civilization os the surrounding countries. the end

ground, where it is caught hy the life savers. and the kite is 1-idled down.
 The wreck is now attached to the shore by two lines. To these a heavy line or hawser is attached by the fife savers and hauled out by those on board the ship The brooches buoy is then attached as usual and hauled back and forth until all on board have been rescued.
 MT. Mahony has invented several other methods of sending the line ashore by means of a kite, but they differ only in detail from the ore de- scribed, the essential feature of his in- yention being the kite and the port able apparatus by which the line is reeied off from the deck of q yes sel in gale on a lee shore
 The successful experiments of MT. Mahony with his life saving apparatus have demonstrated that the harder the wind blows the better the apparatus works; that he can launch his kite with certainty and work his apparatus successfully on a space of deck not more than eight feet square; that he can send away before the wind his kite with lantern or weight to a dis tance of 2, 100 feet from his reeling ap- paratus in Is minutes from the time he places the box on the deck, and can hold the kite flying and the lantern suspended in the air as long as he de sires. sending them to the ground a: his pleasure, and depositing the endz of two life lines 2,100 feet from his reeling apparatus.
 Mir. Peter Mahony, the inventor, was born in New York city about 60 years ago, and has been practicing attor- ney in the New York court for 2 years, and in conceiving and perfect irg this apparatus he has the great ad- vantage of nautical and mechanical ex- perience, he having followed the sea in his early youth, and being a fir ished mechanic, having served an ap- premiership as ship carpenter anc spar maker.

KITES ID SAVE LIFE.
FOR USE OF LIFE SAVING CREWS
 TO A:o WRECKED SHIPS.
it Is the Invention nf Brooklyn Man, and It Is Expected to Succeed When Other Means of Reach
 ing Ship Fails.

It often happens that when a yes sel is wrecked those on board are .oss because the wind is too strong 10 per nit the life savers to shoot a lipe from the shore. The only way by which this difficulty can be overcome is to reverse the operation and shoot the line from the ship to the shore Any one who has been aboard a yes sel which has been wrecked knows that conditions are such that 1t is rare ly possible to operate life saving gun on deck.
 It occurred to Assistant District At torney Peter Mahony of Brooklyn. that kite could easily be flown so as to tow a line ashore. Since last May he and the crew of the United States life saving station at Rockaway Point have been experimenting with ap- paratus of MT Mahony's invention. for which he has received patents from the United States and Canada.
 This apparatus consists of box kite. which is to be put together in the cabin or any sheltered place, and Q reeling device which works from a box that can be screwed to the deck and made to work on g pivot. When it becomes necessary to send a line ashore the kite is taken to the side of the vessel nearest shore; it's line is wound upon a reel and passed into a snatch block, which is hoisted into the rigging and secured about 20 feet aloft; the kite is then let go and the wind carries it up and to the shore. The line is released from the snatch block aloft and small pulley sc cured in the blight of a short line is suspended from the kite line. The end of another line is rove through the pulley and parachute shaped wind drag is tied to it If it be night, a lantern is added, if in the day time a weight is necessary. The lines on the two reels are then allowed to run out at the same time, permitting the kite to carry to shore the wind drag and the lantern or weight
 When they reach shore the kite line is made fast aboard the ship and the other line is slacked of until the Ian tern or the weight lowers it to the

BIS SORGHUM CROP
 GROWS NEAR DOUGLAS

DOUGLAS, Sept 7.-(special)-
 Deputy Assessor c. A. Taylor has been the means of producing a' stalk of sorghum that is worthy of exhibition, and that has been palced in E. R. Pirtle's office window for that purpose.
 It is fully seven feet high. and there are others where that came from. It made all it's growth in five weeks, and grew without irrigation other than that afforded by the rans of this part of the country.
 The stalk on exhibition was a part of three acres of sorghum that MT. Taylor put in on his place one and one quarter miles north of the city, on ground that bore sorghum last year. It had been fairly well culti- vated, being plowed to a depth of about five inches each year. The crop this year was sown broadcast and was turned under with a disc blow and narrowed afterward. As a consequence it was in at varying depths and came up in an irregular -
 The whole crop was put in the seventeenth of July, but as there was no rain for some time afterward, t lay dormant in the dry ground so long that Mir Taylor began to des- pair of it's sprouting and went to he dealers from whom he received the seed and said he thought it was not good. They pointed out the very slight amount of moisture it had had, and persuaded him to pa-
 fence. Soon after there came d fair rain, and the seed began to show MT. Taylor says that the first few stalks or blades were from seed
 the shallow, but that most of the ishallowly planted seed was the last to come, for the curious reason that where the soil had been turned to the least depth it dried out quickest when rained upon, the water not penetrating the more solid earth so easily. The first seed to make a general showing was that at a medi- um depth, that most deeply planted next and the shallowest last. Some of it came up but week Or so ago. For this reason he advises planting
 with drill, five inches deep. His crop this year was sown thirty-three pounds of seed to the acre.

Ing of the fncessant tribal wars, and the termination of the slave trade.
 That to do all this required better transportation facilities than were af- forded by the caravan, or "sofari," as the natives call it, went without say ing. and the interest awakened by StanIey's home letters grew gradually until. in 1895, after the British protec- torate was proclaimed. the govern ment decided to construct railway from Mombasa to Victoria Nyanza. The section traversed by the rail. way impresses upon each visitor the difficulties encountered in its construc- ,ion, and the remarkable diversity of East Africa. It contains all climates, all soils, animals ranging from the un- wieldy elephant, towering giraffe, and raveulng lion, to tiny gazelles-desert lands and tropical jungles-wide- reaching plains and snow-topped noun tains-forests sheltering the pygmies, and grazing lands dotted with the herds of the fierce Nasal
 Lofty escarpments, which taxed al most to the limit the ingenuity of con struction engineers, are succeeded by warm, rich lowlands, which merge .2to papyrus swamps as the shore d Vic toria Nyanza is finally reached. 6
 To many, the term African calls up but a single type. the thick-lipped, flat nosed negroes whom slave traders brought to America; but the visitor of today soon discovers that not more widely does the Taru desert differ from the fertile coast section which it succeeds, than do the people en- countered during the 500 miles covered by the railway differ one from the other.
 Extremes meet in the Kavirondos on tAe eastern shore of Victoria Nyanza and the people of Uganda, their near est neighbors to the west. The latter are to-day, as they were when Stanley visited the country, clad from head 10 foot in long toga-like garments of terra-cotta colored bark cloth, while tHe Kavirondos, in their customs in re- spect to dress. recall the state of man kind in the Garden of Eden before tue fall

COPPER MARKET SOMEWHAT
 WEAKER
By Frank J. Graf. Member Duluth Stock Exchange.


 Telegraphic communication has been almost demoralized and reports from the east are very poor and un certain. Some wires were received by the way of Los Angeles, which shows the copper market to be somewhat weaker than Saturday. North Butte, Copper Range. Allouez. Arizona Com mercial, show lower prices for the day. Superior and Pittsburg, shannon, Greene Cananea, remain about the same. Amalgamated and Ancaonda show a decline. We are unable to to get any New York market what soever, and am inclined to believe that they have shown some decline for the day.
