Sacrificed Their Lives In an Attempt
to Save the CoIors.
In days gone by the Zulus were
the boldest fighters among all the ma
tives of South Africa, and it was not
until they had been defeated in sew
eraI battles that they would live in
peace with white people.
In 1878 1900 of the Zulus attacked
and killed a regiment Of British SOL
diers, and a most heroic deed was the
attempt made by three British SOL
diers to save the two flags, or coiors.
belonging to the regiment.
When it was seen that the Zulus
were so many that there was no hope
of keeping them at bay the colonel Of
the British regiment called to young
officer whose name was Lieutenant
Melvill and said, You will take
charge of the colors, Melvill. and try
to get away from here"
The lieutenant saluted and took into
his hands the two colors of his regi-
ment. Then, with another officer and
a soldier. all mounted on horses, he
suddenly dashed away with his pre-
cious burden.
They were at once seen by the keen
sighted Zulus. however, and after a
long chase the three gallant English
men, fighting to the last, were killed
by the enemy.
Some time afterward one of the flags
was found near a rocky stream, where
the heroes had fought and died, and
It was taken to England and presented
to Queen Victoria.
And in memory Of the three brave
soldiers who had died while defending
it the queen placed wreath of i'm

THE ONLY VICTIMS.
An Adventure In the Surf on the West
Coast of Africa.

An Adventure In the Surf on the West
Coast Of Africa.
West Africa is known to all naviga-
tors for its few harbors and it's heavy
surf, which at certain seasons RACES
like a battle, defying the white man
who would approach its shores. The
author Of "The Jungle Folk Of Africa"
Mr.. R. Fl. Milligan, tells Of a success
full, and to the observers an amusing,
effort to reach shore at point where
the surf did not seem to be impossible.
One day when the beach seemed
much better than usual the captain
and the ships surgeon ventured ashore.
The captain afterward narrated the
adventure of their landing to a small
but enthusiastic audience. He said
that after waiting outside the surf half
an hour the headman suddenly gave
the order, and in moment they were
in the breakers, riding on the top OF
one Of them and speeding toward the
shore at the rate of seventy miles an
hour"
The captain was In the bow of the
boat, well braced and cushioned. But
when the boat struck the beach with
the force of a railway collision the
doctor was thrown violently over two
thwarts into the captains bosom,
whom he clasped about the neck with
a steel-like grip.
The next moment another breaker
picked the boat up and hurled it upon
the beach, throwing both captain and
doctor to a perfectly safe distance,
where they sprawled upon the sand
The doctor, still hugging the captains
neck and very much frightened. ex-
claimed:

anybody killed but you and meW

Raw DRUGS.
Castor OIL Comes az Pretty Little
Brown and Black Beans.

Castor OIL Comes az Pretty Little
Brown and Black Beans.
Upon going into a pharmacy and
looking over the mysterious jars and
bottles and boxes that line the shelves
did you ever wonder where on earth
all of the drugs came from and how
they appeared before they were ground
up and made into oils or dried or pull
verified or crysta1lized into queer
shaped Jumps? Each jar and box
seems to hide some secret which you
Immediately become curious to solve.
How many different lands do they rep
resent? And, after they leave the jars
that hold them now, what are they
made into?
Who, for example, would connect
great pile Of dry, thin twigs, neatly
tied into small bundles, with sarsa-
parilla? These twigs are the creep
ing roots and rootlets Of prickly
shrub that grows in Jamaica, and they
are worth from 10 to 80 cents a pound.
Somewhat similar in appearance is
ipecacuanha, which also comes to us
in dry twigs, which are part Of the
trailing root Of plant found in the
damp forests of Brazil
These roots receive no preparation
save drying before they are shipped of
to the United States. They are packed
In large sacks, and the workmen who
open the bales must beware Of breath
ing the pungent, irritating dust given
off, which is productive Of unpleasant
results If incautiously inhaled.
Castor oil, too, is hard to recognize
In the pretty little brown beans, spot
ted with black and with polished skins,
that arrive in bags from India They
look far too attractive to suggest the
much hated dose of our early days
Aloes, the base of many nauseous
medicines, may be seen in its crude
form as a solid mass resembling brown
sealing wax, packed in heavy wooden
boxes, from which it is Clipped out
In fakes with a chisel and hammer.
1t is of different qualities and prices,
according to whether it comes from
Arabia, Socotra or the West Indies,
and may bring any sum from 81 to
$45 per hundreweight Aloes is the
juice Of the big fleshy leaves Of the
plant of that name. This juice is
pressed or evaporated from the leaves
and poured into chests or kegs In a
semifuid state, hardening presently
into a solid block. Not infrequently it
is inclosed In the dry skins Of mon
keys and In this strange form brought
to market
One of the most interesting Of drugs
Is opium, both on account Of it's aw-
full potency and by reason Of its great
value. A case of opium, about 225
pounds. is worth $500 roughly. The
case is of rough deal lined with tin
and contains a number Of soft, dark
humps, like large handfuls Of dough
packed very closely together in a
quantity of dry, chaffy seeds.
The opium which reaches America
is of two qualities, one for medicine,
the other for smoking, and comes from
Persia and Asia Minor, China and In
dia.-St. Louis Republic.

THE MIRAGE.
Conditions That Make Possible This
Beautiful Illusion.

Conditions That Make Possible TIL
Beautiful Illusion.
About that natural phenomenon, tn,
mirage, much mystery chung In day
Of old, but science explains it as read
lily as the rainbow.
The fata morgana Of the strait o,
Messina and the specter of the Brock
en- were nothing more In sober reality
than mere mirage.
A mirage may occur at any place
where the denser stratum of air II
placed above the lighter stratum, thu
refracting the rays of light, the com
mon surface of the two stratums act
ing as mirror.
In looming mirages distant objects
show an extravagant increase in yer
teal height without alteration II
breadth Distant hummocks of ice are
thus magnif1ed into immense towers
and pinnacles, and ship Is sometimes
abnormally drawn out until 1t appears
twelve or thirteen times as high as II
Is long. Rocks are seen drawn up tc
ten or twelve times their proper
height. Houses as well as human be-
ings and animals appear In like exag
gerated shape.
Another form of mirage is when q
ship or some other object near the
water seems greatly elongated and q
second inverted image meets 1t from
above.
Sometimes the proper image of the
object is elevated far above the sea.
while the second image strangely ap-
pears inverted beneath it, the whole
surrounded by sheet of sky which is
mirrored and repeated within it.
In 1882 in the arctic region Captain
Scoresby recognized by its inverted
image In the air his fathers ship, the
Fame, which afterward proved to be
seventeen miles beyond the visible no.

self actually could not be seen through

Some forms of mirage are lateral as
well as vertical, arising from unequal
density of two contiguous vertical bod
les of air. Thus on Lake Geneva a
boat has been seen double. the two
images some distance apart.
Persons have been duplicated in the
same way. Any one on hot day by
placing his eye near to heated wall
may see lateral mirages Of objects at
a distance and nearly on line with
the wal.
Mirages are very frequent on des-
erts or the large sandy plains which
abound In the southwestern states and
territories. Many a painting wagon
train has pushed on In joyous haste
at the sight of a green grove or limpid
lake, only to be cruelty disappointed at
the fading away of the vision Is it
any wonder that the natives and In
dams regard the phenomenon as the
work Of evil and tantalizing spiritsf

AFTER endeavoring to frame bill that
would meet all requirements and not inter-
fere with the constitution and the rights
of large municipalities, senator Gaunt
finally succeeded in drawing an act that
has been approved by the Governor where
by trolley companies may carry freight.
The first bill was supposed to be all right,
but the Governor vetoed 1t on the ground
that 1t conflicted with the trolley fran
chise act and for other reasons. A second
bill was drawn, but it was soon discover
ed that this, also. had flaws. SO Senator
Gaunt got busy and drew third act and
that seems to have filled the bill, as it
passed both houses and has been signed by
the Governor. This law will very.material-
iy aid the trolley company in this county.
Prior to the enactment of the law 1t would
have been hard work for the company to
get through the city Of Burlington or the
town of Moorestown. but IS 1t now stands
1t viii be lawful for any trolley company
owning, leasing or operating any street
railway In this state to receive and carry
over such street railroad, freight and ex-
press matter for hire. and to de-
liver the same to parties entitled
thereto. the exception being in COM
munities having over 12,00U inhabi-
tants. the latter being allowed to place
certain restrictions on the privilege. The
passage of this act was wise me assure
and will be of great benefit to those who
have been asking for its enactment. 1t is
most desirable for the State at large that
the trolley roads generally should be used
for transporting light freight. This will
save the improved roads vast amount of
wear and tear by heavy vehicles; it will
be an immense convenience to business
men and their customers at a distance; it
will greatly economic the cost of carriage
of goods, and the traffic will financially
benefit the trolley companies and enable
them to make Improvements and give
better service. When the trolley was in
troduced it was only a question of time
and of cessation of opposition by the steam
railroads when they wsuld become freight
carriers.

ONE of Governor Forts projects that
of the direct primary bill-was passed
during the last hours of the Legislature.
We cannot give the contents of the bill.
but one of its objects is to elect directly
the members of city and county executive
committeeman. This may prove good
measure, but at first glance 1t is doubtful
whether the good that Is desired will be
accomplished One of the main points
discussed at recent convention in this
county was whether 1t was not better to
have at least one convention yearly and
create interest In the party's affairs, and
1t was decided that convention at which
delegates would select county commit
tee would be great factor in arousing
the interest mentioned. There Is no doubt
that there will be any quantity Of candi-
dates for the position of member of the
county committee, but whether the selec-
ton made in direct primary will be what
Is wanted remains to be seen.

TUESDAY, APRIL 20, 1909

THERE was quite change in the pro-
gramme when Governor Fort sent his list
of nominations to the Senate at the clos
ing hours on Friday morning. Instead of
giving Senator Robbins, of this county.
the berth of Commissioner of Banking
and Insurance, as was said to have been
the original plan, that gentleman was
made the Clerk in Chancery, and Vivian
NJ. Lewis, who has been acting in the
former capacity, took the place that had
been heralded within the grasp of Sena-
tor Robbins. The latter position is for
three years, the term of the Clerk In
Chancery being for five years, the sala-
ries being the same. Senator Robbins is
perfectly adapted to either office, espe-
cially the one which has been given him,
owing to bis legal training, and the state
will receive efficient service at his hands.
