Exploring Tibesti.
IeM York Eyening Post.

From the New York Evening Post.
Aided by the emperor's purse, two Aus
trians, the explorer, Otto c. Artbauer and
Lieut.. Kraft Won Helmhacker have gone
to TripoH to traverse, IL possible, what is
considered the most interesting region
still unexplored in Africa-the mountain
Gus Tibesti. Geographically, this region
belongs TO the French Sahara. but the
Turks also claim it, and. as matter
of fact, it is politically independent. The
only European who has far visited
any of the native tribes, notorious for
their savage and predatory customs, Is
Gustav Nachtigal, forty years ago. He
was captured and held prisoner several
weeks, but saved his life by fight in the
night. He told of extinct volcanoes
reaching a height of some 1000 or 5000
feet, and it is in order to secure more
information about these and other fea-
lures OF this region that the two Aus
TRANS have undertaken to explore Tibesti.
The expedition is considered extremely
hazardous: some have called 1t suicidal,
for the natives are more than ever in
censed against foreigners because of re-
cent encounters with French troops, in
which they lost heavily. Artbauer is,
however, thoroughly familiar with the
Arabian language and customs, and hopes
to be able to accomplish his mission by
peaceful means, taking no armed escort
along.

How to Live a Thousand Years.

From the Philadelphia Inquirer.
1t seems that language is the thing
that makes us die so soon, otherwise
we might attain to the age of the pa
triarchs like Methusaleh, who is said to
have been drowned in the flood A COL
lege professor, and it hardly need be said
that he halls from Chicago, SAYS that
"the restoration of Titanic science
which will come with the discovery and
the deciphering of the lost Titanic lam
guage, will bring with it command over
the lightning on earth, the possession
of unlimited power, the control of all
climatic and meteorological conditions, the
abolition of poverty and the vast pro-
longation of human life and the ultimate
perfection of human society,"
This sounds very exciting. but doesn't
mean much. 1T assumes that there is, or
was. Titanic language, whereas that
is exactly what needs to be proved 1t
seems impossible that such a wonderful
gift to mankind should be lost or allowed
to decline. If its discovery or invention
can accomplish any portion of the things
predicted, by all means let us have it as
soon as is possible. Perhaps it isn't en-
tirely worth while living thousand
years, but most people would like to try
the experiment 1t would tie up history
in an authoritative manner.
1t may be pointed out, however, that
our present language or languages do not
form the best possible vehicle for ex-
plotting ideas. Look at mathematics for
instance, and note how the decimal nota-
ton has extended the science in all di-
rections. This invention of the Arabs
has made mathematics an almost limit
less science. because 1T affords the means
OF carrying out every possible quantita-
tive thought of man. 1t is not so with
literature. Language is a rather clumsy
vehicle for thought. In the hands or
minds of some men it is made to produce
excellent results. In most minds it is of
no esthetic value, but it suffices for nor
NAL purposes. That we should live a
thousand years simply because we can
speak good language is q surprising
proved.
In the meantime, those who admire
Esperanto, Ro or lido should get busy
They may be able to make the life in
surance companies prosperous beyond all
belief.

mad" ENaIIsHMAN IN PARIS.
Error in French Language. Nearly
Caused Tennyson's Arrest.
ontion Globe.

Paris Correspondence London Globe.
IL the French themselves are not. al
ways agreed as to the proper manner of
speaking their own language how diff
cult must be the task Of the poor for
elgner. Englishmen have from time inl-
memorial made ludicrous mistakes in
their efforts to speak French, and one of
the most amusing instances of the trouble
which enSued from INSTRUMENTATION is
recorded in connection with visit paid
by the poet Tennyson to the continent.
He and his friend, Prof. Wilson, had put
up at an inn in the east of France. and
one afternoon, while the poet was buried
in his books. the professor went out to
have look at the curiosisies OF the town.
knowing by experience the absent-mtnd-
edness OF Tennyson. the professor, as he
left the hotel. told tho waiter to see that
the fire was not allowed to go out. IT he
had known how to speak French cor
rectly he would have said:
Ne laissez pas eteindre lie feu."
What he did say. translating literally
the English idiom and doing violence to
the pronunciation OF the las. word, was:
Ne laiSSeZ pas sOrtir de fou.
Then he walked out of the door. The
waiter cast a terrified glance at Tenny-
son, then ran and told his master that
one of the new arrivals was mailman.
and that his companion had just told him
to watch strictly over him and keep him
locked up. The news that there was a
mad Englishman on the premises spread
like wildfire through the hotel. and in
the corridors and on the stairs every one
was on the qui vive. ready to pounce on
him should he attempt to leave his room.
Meanwhile Tennyson was absorbed in
his book and in his day-dreams, and It
was more than an hour after Prof. Will
sons departure when the poet noticed
that the fire was completely eXtinguished.
He rang the bell, and the waiter an
sWered the summons. Cautiously opening
the door little bit, he started with alarm
on seeing Tennyson standing in the mid
die of the room. He was armed with the
poker. which he brandished violently in
the direction of the fireplace. The waiter
did not wait. Pale and haggard. he bolt
ed from the room, and rushed down the
stairs four at time.
lie fou. lie fou.'' he cried as he
reached the kitchen, and every one pre-
pared to sell his life dearly. Fortunately
Prof. Wilson returned in time to prevent
unpleasant consequences. But he was
none too soon, for when he reached Ten
nyson's room he found the author of IN
Memoriam'' wrestling with constable,
who insisted on taking him to the lock-
up. The professors French, Indifferent
though it was. was sufficient to explain
matters, and few minutes later the
policeman left the hotel without his pris-
Oner.

A CROOKED STREAM.
The Windings and Changes of the
North River.
n the BOSTON Traveller.

From the Boston Traveller.
There is a stream in this state called
the North river. 1t starts in a pond near
Hanson and runs to the sea at Scituate.
1t Is ten miles by air line from Hanson
to Scituate and the river is forty miles
long.
This river is probably the most re-
markable body Of water. barring the Dead
sea. on this footstool and has stood more
abuse and bad language than the Chicago
river. When the tide is coming in the
river runs upstream, and not only that.
but the upper part of 1t, which is fresh
water, also runs up. and the spectacle
of a fresh water river. beating It up
hill Is alone enough to call attention
to itself. But there is much more TO it
than that
This North river is noted for being the
scene Of the last Indian raid on the coast
settlements. 1t is notable for having Civ
en- birth to the ship Columbia, whose
captain discovered and named the Colum-
bia river and was the first American
vessel to circumnavigate the world. Ii
is notorious for having suddenly changed
it's mind on its course the night of No
vember %. 1898, when it moved it's mouth
three miles to the northward, presented
the town Of Marshfield with deep har-
bor killed three men and converted
about 100000 acres of prime meadow land
into a salt marsh.
But the chief thing about this river is
it's crookedness. This river is SO crooked
that it double crosses itself. If you
don't believe it go and see. There is one
place in Hanover. where, by making
three loops, the river moves toward the
sea for distance of almost fifty feet
and meanders about for fifteen miles in
doing it.

Cooking a Potato.

From the London Chronicle.
1T is news to many that the English
have even four ways of cooking a po-
tato. There are only two perfectly legiti-

the 2iO French methods succeed only in
the essential potato favor with
eggs and cream and all manner Of condi-
mental denominations. There is one jour-
nalist-haunted restaurant in the Strand
where they really do know how to bake
a potato. But perhaps only in ireland
is the potato treated with absolute re-
spect, though this writer once unexpect-
eddy came across the perfect thing in
All honor to Ireland and

Boiled potatoes by all means and al

land, but Abraham Hayward makes a
grave mistake when he says melted but.

spirit OF cookery and artifice. The butter

creamery, a south OF Ireland creamery

coldness. The difference OF temperature
Is in this case, and in many others. at
least as important as any antithesis OF

FOUNDING OF 1.-THE LAMBS"
Famous Club Started With Little
Dinner Party in New York.

Arthur WalIack. in New York Evening Post.
1t was Christmas in the year 1877 that
the Lambs Club was founded. George
Mclean, a close friend of mine. used to
spend much of his time with me in my
office at the theater. and in that way came
to know Montague, Beckett and Arnott.
DESTROYS Of showing his appreciation of
their friendship. he gave a little supper
In their honor in the historic blue room
at Delmonicos. then at 18th street and 9Th
avenue. We had such a delightful even
ing that 1t was proposed that we should
meet once month. and that each OF US
should have the privilege of inviting one
guest. AS "Dels'' was somewhat eX
pensive for our limited means. l was ap-
pointed committee of one to find more
suitable meeting place.
This being decided upon, ii was then
proposed that we give ourselves name.
Many were submitted, but it was not I'M
til Mr.. Montague told us of a club he
had belonged to in London, and which
was called 1.-The Lambs" that we finally
decided upon that title
So THE Lambs" we called ourselves.
and THE Lambs we have remained
ever since. From occupying room for a
few hours once a week for meetings, and
once month for supper, to a superb
clubhouse on 44th street with 1000 MEM
bers is somewhat of an advance even in

aeroplanes. Varying were the vicissi-
tudes through which the club went, but
thanks to the loyalty of one member in
particular. aided by one or two others,
the club weathered the storm that one
time threatened 10 engulf 1t, and today
stands as firmly intrenched as any or
ganization in the country.
1t is an organization deSoted to advanc-
ing and encouraging art. and for the pur-
pose of affording it's lovers and disciples
the opportunity of meeting on common
ground. Though the actor predminates
as he should seeing that the club was
founded and supported principally by
members of the profession, there are also
artists, architects. sculptors, composers,
musicians and authors to he found on its
list and there is large lay membership
including a number of army and navy
officers
