EQUATORIAL AFRICA.

How Hunters Dress Where There Is No
 Dawn and No Dusk.
 We wore khaki for daytime and warm clothes for night when sitting around the camp, as after the sun goes down a great chill immediately settles down that makes winter cloth ing and a good big fire most essential.
 During the daytime we always wore pith helmets, although sometimes early in the morning and late in the afternoon, when the sun is not at its maximum, a double tcrai felt hat may be substituted. It Is far more com fortable than the helmet. .aa
 AS additional protection we wore sun pads which covered the spine. These are merely heavy quilted strips that reach from the collar to below the shoulders, as we were advised that the effect of the sun was just as dead ly at this point as on the head. I do not know what maximum the ther- mometer would reach in the sun, as was afraid to leave it exposed when if got higher than q little above 150 de grees, as beyond that point there was great ddnger of breaking 1t. In the Shade the temperature would be usu- ally from S5 to 1G0 degrees, but there was always a breeze blowing, and the dryness of the air cooled one off quite rapidly as soon as one got out of the sun. It was always cold in the morn ing when we started out at the first peep of light, and we were usually shivering for a few minutes prior to the suns appearance. Day does not dawn in equatorial Africa, but 1t bursts! It is dark one minute and full sunlight the next, and the reverse oc- CUTS in the evening, for the sun goes down and night comes on as if a cur tain had suddenly been drawn down over the west, and the chill of night begins instantly.-Percy c.

"A Sound Box"

Take an ordinary rubber band and stretch 1t between the thumb and fore finger of your left hand. If you pick it with the fingers of the right hand and let go suddenly it will make q sound which you can hear distinctly enough yourself, but which will not be audible to any one a few feet away. But if you were to fasten the elastic. with a pin at each end, to an empty wooden box, only not so as to touch the wood, and then twang it the sound would be much louder than before. That box is the sound box or sound board, and all stringed instruments have one in some shape or other.-St. Nicholas.

DELIGHTFUL ORGAN RECITAL
Local Music Lovers Were Given Great
 Treat by Mrs. Evans and Daughter.

Local Music Lovers Were Given Great
 Treat by Mrs. Evans and Daughter.
 A large number attended the organ recital given at the Pilgrim Church last week Wednesday ill spite of the down pour of rain. The occasion was unique ill that this was probably the first organ recital ever given in Canaan. Mrs Evans of Stockbridge, who was the organist ot the occasion, played at the time the organ was opened, but the affair was more Ill the nature of a miscellaneous concert than an organ recital. It was also probably the first time Bach fugue was ever played in public on an organ in Canaan; and it was very beautifully played. Such being the case the recita. deserves more than a passing notice
 In fact new and interesting entry shal
 be made ill Cauaan's s musical history (. document, by the way, which is becon- ing steadily more interesting and valu. able). A new contribution has bee,
 made to the cultivation of music taste in Canaan; for an organ recital ls unique form of musical entertainment. | The organ is the king of all musical lnstruments-trulym majestic in its char acter. It is not like all orchestra and l. not intended 10 be like one, Ill spite ,i the fact that many people think that the more like an orchestra it is the nearer perfection does it become The organ IS thoroughly associated with the solemn and beautiful dignities of church worship and so voices the deeper notes of human life. An orchestra is associated with the operatic and concert moods; hence much of the music. suited to orchestral rendition is not suited to the organ. Hence, also the music heard at an organ recital hasn't the brilliant characteristics of concert music; but it appeals strongly to thinking people. The music selected by Mrs. Evans was ad-
 nirable and her playing was such as is rarely heard here. She made us sur prised at the range and power and purity of the little organ. The most popular number played by her was the "Cujus Animan" from Rossini's "Stabat Mater" which the choral society mem bers had heard the night before. That is one of the incidental advantages of membership is that Organization. The great number-perhaps the greatest number ever written for the organ was the G minor Fugue by Bach, Q difficult piece we'll rendered Mrs
 Evans was assisted by her daughter, Miss Etelka Evans, who played several numbers upon the violin. She played we'll the "Andante Jantabile" by Tschai. kowsky, which is favorite here having been played by the orchestra at the last Choral Society concert and by the Kueisels and Russian orchestra at Nor folk. She played very beautifully the ''Humorske" by Dvorak which was played by Kreisler at the Norfolk con- cert last June. This number she re- peated for the benefit of a few who fingered after the recital. The thanks of all who attended and of some who could not attend are rendered Miss Brown who so kindly made this bounti- ful musical treat possible for Canaan people. E. 0. G

 "I have I got it coming into Chi cago. was very comfortable in my Pullman when a young man came along and told me a pitiful story and wanted me to buy his diamond ring. The game is older than the hills. and | was on in minute-boEus story and bogus diamond; willing to sell ne a S200 ring for $50. l asked him where the green spot was in my eye. ard while I was pluming myself the man in the other part of the section pulled cut three tens and pocketed the ring Did I lock down upon him with fity and contempt? Did l smile? Did I grin? Did I ask him where his guardian was? Oh, yes-oh, yes, and he spoke up and claimed that the stones were diamonds ard the ring well worth POO plunks. It nett,Cd me to see the ass so Cn@kSIre and to hear him say that cf course was no judG" of diamonds. and I put up $50 that he'd been done for.

GIRL MOCKS AT FATE
Heroine of Double Somersaulting Auto
 to be Seen Here.

The most terrific act in the history of circus thrillers, the double-somer- saulting automobile act, will be seen in Bridgeport with Ringing Brothers circus'o Friday. June 25. This is the Dante's Inferno of circus paralyzers. The so-called thrillers of the past pale into lnsigniicance before it.
 And the act is performed by a young French girl barely out of her teens. The heavy car with the gritty young woman at the wheel plunges down a steep incline with lightning speed. An upward curve at the terminal of the tracks sends the car up into the air aults before alighting on the runway fifty feet away.
 It is a moment of suspense that the audience will never forget. It holds the eyes of even those wh3 had made up their minds not to look. It is inn possible to resist the act. It pinches the heart and whitens the faces of those who behold, and the relief of in safety expresses itself in a sigh of thanks.
 Perhaps not so spectacular. but nev- ertheless just as wonderful, is the per- formance of the Saxon trio of strong men. One of these three giants claims he is as strong as Samson. and thos, who have seen the act would be willing to take his word for Inost anything rather than dispute His most ex- travagant statement. He alone, lifts a weight of ton and a half. <
 And there are still other wonders under the biz tents. There are the great Schumann performing horses that waltz on their hind legs, drink from big glasses and roll each other around in huge beer barrels.
 The Taximeter horses. Roblidelio the wire wizard. the telephoning elephants and the Lorch family of acrobats are still other surprises in store for those who visit the show.

Hits State Bank
 Guaranty Law

Lincoln. .Neb.. June 23.-John l.. Web ster oi Omaha and former United States Senator w. V. Allen, attorneys for the banking interests of Nebraska opposed to the State bank deposit guaranty law, have filed a suit in the Federal Court for restraining order against the State Banking Board and Samuel Patterson, its Secretary.
 The retition asks that the State Board be forbidden to levy an assess ment to guarantee bank deposits. It asks that Patterson be prevented from taking, his seat.
 Fifty-two banks. national and State have joined in the pleading. It is all legged that the new act is confiscatory, taking property without due process of law. and requiring the property of one. bank to pay the liabilities of an- other: that its assessment provision is so indefinite as to permit an unlimited number of assessments against the banks. and that the provision for inn mediate payment of depositors is illog- ical and impossible for fuldllment.
