the lawn had grown into a veritable

When came upon this scene I
found small, wiry Javanese

evidently been stunned by blow
from a club in the hands OF a police
agent. Near him lay knife, and
the knife showed that 1t had been

The warning amok signals had

done and-was led away for his ex-

AMOKi

On every side of me the violent
closing OF doors and shutters resem-
bled rapid-fire vorley from machine
guns. The Parapalang was deserted
and not thing stirred in any direc-
ton. Not a sound was heard except
the repeated: "Rap-Rap-Rap-
rap!"
1t was the amok signal! It had
started at some place in the city
where an agent of police-or posi-
bly, citizen-had first taken from its
hook stout, solid wooden club and
had struck long. also solid beam
that hung suspended from an ada
cent portico. 1t had been taken up
instantly at many different points in
Weltevreden by citizens and police
agents, SO that the amok signal was
flashed all over Weltevreden as
quickly as IL central telephone or
telegraph operator had flashed it over
European wires. The signal meant
that some unfortunate little brown
Javanese had gone suddenly mad
mad as only a Malay can become.
The repeated signals warned all who
valued their lives to escape the man
iacal rush Of the dreaded amok run
ner!
Around the corner came upon a
native, stretched out stark, and then
upon dog that was limping along
with frightful cuts across its body.
A hundred feet further I saw the first
signs of life since the dreaded signal
had first been sounded. Almost at
the same moment that saw a small
group of police agents, natives. and
q few Europeans gathered on a lawn
down the street there came the ''fin-
ish" signal of three short raps re-
peated In rapid succession. This Sig
nal, like the first which gave the
alarm. concerned the amok runner.

morant fishers with their birds, which
are very tame and intelligent. When

around their throats, to prevent them

are afterward turned into the water.
The small fish they can easily manage
to bring back to the boat, but when

times needs the cooperation Of two
or three of the birds to land it safely
on their masters boat. In this river
the fishermen often catch the great
salamander, huge newt or water
lizard, which sometimes reaches a
length of ten to twelve feet, and
whose flesh is much appreciated by
the Chinese.

Are Signals Observede

Efficiency tests are conducted by
officials of the Pennsylvania Railroad,
who, at unusual times and places,
set signals Of caution or danger, dis
play fusees, or place torpedoes on the
track, with a view to keeping all
employees constantly on the alert for
signals. During the tests for 1909.
the following records were made by
the men: Block signal rules, 47,384.
of which 99.6 per cent. showed per-
feet observance on the part of em-
ployes; 45,SS7 tests Of rules govern
ing lagmen, use of fusees, torpedoes
and other signals, ss.6 per cent. per-
feet. Altogether, some 100000 eff
ficiency tests showed a practically per-
feet record for the employes.-Scien-

THE BRAyESr ACT.

Colonel William r.. Cody declares
that one OF the bravest acts he has
ever seen was at the hattie OF New
Hope Church, Georgia, OH May 81.
1864. Major John M. Faruuhar was
the man whose act Conolel Cody
deems worthy to be set down beside
any that history has ever recorded.
The story of the brave deed is printed
in the Washington Times.
At that time Major Farquhar was
provost marshal OF the third division
of the Fourth Army Corps of the
Army of the Cumberland. He was
detailed by General Thomas J. Wood,
commanding the third division, to
carry an order to the colouel OF the
Thirty-second Indiana Volunteer In
fantry.
He started to execute the order,
but found the way so obstructed by
Confederate forces that he could not
get through except by making wide
detour. To do this meant defeating
the plan OF the commanding general.
There was little time for him to
think. The despatch was In his
hands; he was responsible for its
safe delivery. Failure meant defeat.
Major Farquhar realized these things
as only a soldier can.
In front OF him stretched the wall
of the Confederate breastworks.
Without an instant's hesitation he
urged his horse up the side OF the
breastworks, and under the fire of
ten thousand muskets used the top
for bridle-path for distance OF
about one hundred and fifty yards,
until he found place where he could
continue his journey without danger
Of being again halted or hindered.
Mental, moral and physical bravery
were required to accomplish what
Major Farquhar did. He never lost
his mental balance, else he would not
have been so quick to think OF way
out of the difficulty. The knowledge
of the responsibility placed on his
shoulders made him morally brave.
AS for the physical danger, no man
could dare more than riding a hum
dred yards under fire ON tie top Of
the enemy's breastworks.
