Drum Tap Messages.

Writing from German Africa, a
European tourist says: eve found
here in the dense forest, among peo-
pie who know nothing of modern
scientific discoveries, a good and
practical wireless telephone. The
natives have for purposes of ccrc-
mony, peaceful and warlike, drums
Of various dimensions, made Of
wood, and these, when beaten, emit
sounds Of about an octave in range.
Aside from the ceremonies, the
drums are used also as means &c
communication, and the manner Of
striking, the number of strokes, the
pauses, etc, make up words and
sentences which are readily UNDER
stood for miles around. We had
proof of it one day. Our caravan
was ready to start when our head
servant stopped suddenly in his
work, listened intently and then
gave unmistakable signs Of pleas
ure. We learned later that the in
distinct sounds conveyed to him the
news that a boy had been born to
his brother in a ncighboring viii
lare."

How Tennyson Decided a Matter.

Here is Tennyson's own account
to Mr.. James Knowles, editor of the
Nineteenth Century, of how he was
offered and accepted the laureate
ship: "The night before | was asked
to take the la~ureateship, which was
offered to me through Prince Al
bert's liking for my In Memoriam,'
| dreamed he came to me and kissed
me on the cheek. | said in my
dream, Very kind, but very Ger
man In the morning the letter
about the laureateship was brought
to me and laid upon my bed. /
thought about it through the day,
but could not make up my mind
whether to take it or refuse it, and
at the last | wrote two letters, one
accepting and one declining, and
threw them on the table and settled
to decide which / would send after
my dinner and bottle of port"

ASTROLOGY.
One Of the Most Ancient Forms OF
Superstition.

Astrology means the "sciencc Of
the stars" The encyclopedia calls
astrology cone of the most ancient
forms Of superstition" Chaldcans,
Egyptians, Hindus and Chinese
were given to it. The Jews became
addicted to it after the captivity. 1t
spread into the west and into Rome
at about the beginning Of the Chris
tan era. Astrologers played an int
portant part at Rome, where thcr
were called Chaldcans and "mathr-
m~aticians." Although they were Of
ten banishcd by the senate aad the
empcrors on pain Of death and were
otherwise prosecuted, they contin-
ned to hold their ground. Even
Ptolemy the astronomer did not es-
cape the infection, which in his
time had been universal.
Mohammedanism was well adapt
ed to astrology, and the Arabs cuI-
tivatcd the Science" with great ar
dor from the seventh 70 the thir.
tecnth century. Some Of the caIiy
Christian fathers argued against
astrology in its earlier form and
others received it modified to some
extent.
Probably the paImiest days Of as
troIogy we're the fourteenth and if
tccnth centuries. At two Of the
oldest universities in Europe chairs
were founded for its tcaching-at
Bologna and at Padua. No princes
court was complete without its as
trologcr. After the renaissance the
study Of ~astrology was vigorously
opposed, though for centuries many
men continued to. believe in it,
among whom, at least to a certain
extent, was Napoleon. The mcrci-
less ridiculc of Swift had much 10
do with its discredit in England.

Congress has adjourned, and the
country breathes easier. The Dem
ocrats who controlled the lower
House OF Congress had the satisfac.
faction of getting up several meas.
ures, which, very much to their sur.
prise, passed the Senate as we'll as
the lower house. They knew il,
advance that these bills would be
vetoed by the President and the net
results of the session are, so far as
tariff legislation is concerned. that
the Canadian reciprocity measure,
advocated by the president, which
was the reason assigned for the call
ing of congress, is the sum total of
this kind of legislation that becomes
a statute. No measure which has
not met the approval of President
Taft has become law, and even in
the matter of statehood for Arizona,
Mr.. Taft was able to carry out his

Judges from the constitution.

During the closing days of Con-
gress there has been summing up
of political attainment, results, and
their bearing upon the prospects of
the political parties and candidates
OF 1919. The New York times has
published complete summary of the
Republican situation and says that
The signs show that there is moth
ing to stop Mr. TAFT S denomination.
The Times states that the result is
practically determined" and Mr..
Taft will be the Republican candi-
date. Ii says that no one except
some OF the most radical of the
neyerright prophets, like Jonathan
Bourne, Jr., Of Oregon" can at
tempt now to figure cut any of the
results of the approaching conven-
ton. The Times makes an ana]v-
sis by states, and while it gives
practically all of the big delegation
to President Taft, Wisconsin and
scattering votes elsewhere, are con-
coded Mr.. LaFollette, who will be
the only other candidate before the
people. The Times survey of the
situation is entitled to good deal of
respect as indicated by the fat that
the eastern press including the con-
sentative Washington Post, COM
ment and agree with the Times.

ton is a Democratic organ.
