The Weather In Africa.

Everybody seems to think of Africa
as a place Of torrid heat, with no re-
lief anywhere. But that Is far from
the truth, says Chicago News. As a
matter Of fact, some parts Of that
country are as temperate as our own.
and other parts-where the ground
reaches great elevation-are cold.
Our impression of the climate of the
country is based on what we have
heard Of the heat Of its lowlands. A
priest who lived on the Pacific coast
there for eight years says that he new
err saw the mercury higher than IS de-
grees, and at Stanley Falls, where he
now lives, the highest that it ever
reaches Is 90 degrees. with nights that
are nearly always cool. But when II
comes to storms, he says, Africa beats
anything that European ever dream
ed Of. He asserts that he once count.
ed sixty-six lightning strokes in one
minute and says also that he has
known ten thunderbolts to strike with.

The Plural Of "Qne.n

Beginners in the study of Latin are,
as rule, puzzled by finding the ad-
jective unus. ..one" declined in both
the singular and the plural number.
That seems to be an inconsistency, as
unus means "one." and one cannot be
pluralized as an adjective. 1t is not,
however. used in Latin in the sense of
one in the plural. In the phrase tires
unos passus." for example, unos is
rendered SINGLE" the translation of
the phrase being three single steps
In English. of course the adjective
lone" Is never used In the plural. but
1t is perfectly correct to say, for In
stance, "these little Ones" as 'one''
is also noun.

The Carrier Pigeon.

Did you ever hear of a pigeon carry
ing messages over long distances? The
service this little creature can tender
is beyond belief. Long before the tele-
graph was even dreamed Of the car
rier pigeon was trained to bear mes
sages to immense distances. and in
times Of war it carried communica-
ton from the besieged city to the out
err world. The carrier pigeon post has
been cultivated mostly by the Dutch.
The process of training these little
creatures consists In taking them a
short distance from home, to which
they find their way back very easily.
This distance is gradually increased
until they are brought as far as it is
desired they should fly. The letter
containing the message is tied around
the stem of the middle feather of the
tail. Here 1t neither hinders the pi-
geon's flight nor will 1t fall off. but
when it is flying the other feathers
generally cover the letter and protect
1t from rain.

Kelley Nav MANAGE Yankees.

Will Mike Kelley succeed Kid Elber-
field as manager Of the New York
Americans at the end of the present
season? A well known baseball man
says he will and that he would be given
the job Immediately If he was not tied
up by contract with the Toronto club
Of the Eastern league. President Far
rell of the New York club has always
been warm friend of the recalcitrant
Mike and would like nothing better
than to get him for manager Of the
Yankees. At least that is what the
person on the inside says. Kelley has
not been setting the Eastern league
