Others urged that the committee make
some sort Of statement

with power TO levy taxes and expend its
money az it sees At
That the general manager shall have
regular office hours from 3 o'clock 10

The report is lengthy and in pream-
BILE sets forth that if the information
received by certain members of the
board had been correct. they would
have been justified in asking the resig-

OF the board and who introduced the

TEACHING HEN GOOD LESSON
Poultry Gate as Shown In the IlIustra-
ton Will Save cussine and
Garden Truck.

Barrels Of perspiration may be
saved by the poultry gate shown
herewith, which is reproduced with
the article from the New England
Homestead. Whoever has uninten-
tionally acquired the hen chasing
hen-cussing habit may cure himself
with this little device.
In the fence, preferably at a point
near where the fowls are fed, little
door about 10 by IL inches is hung
on the inside of the yard, so as TO al
ways swing shut without springs It
is stopped from swinging outward by
the peg shown at the right.
Mrs. Hen, returning repentant from
the garden, will poke her head into
every mesh of the fence in her efforts
to rejoln her happy companions The
gate will thus allow her to enter
without excitement or commotion from
the lord Of the harem from the irate
owner.
But another advantage may be
gained by using the gate in connec-
ton with the laying pens. II the two

scene was weird one; the surface
was absolutely still, and round about
were ten-foot high bushes, with what
were apparently great tufts of creamy
flowers. These, however, proved TO
be nests of tree frogs.
"The place is a sanctuary for all
wild things, for no hunter would dare
TO penetrate the bush to this dreaded
spot. AS we stood at the edge gazing
out over the water its quiet was sud
denly broken by a broad ripple, and
little fish were seen to spring agitated-
ly above the surface. a great python
was crossing, and this, We learned,
shared with the crocodiles the
guardianship of the Sacred Lake"
Describing a visit to district where
all the houses were built of ebony,
Mr.. Talbot said:
"The side of our tent almost touched
little ebony hut built over a large
and gruesome looking pot, the sides Of
which were prnamented with iron
hooks. Before this, about breast high,
and the length of man, was kind OF
altar, made of stout ebony blocks. In
front of our tent door was tall carv-
ed pillar. ornamented with strings of
human skulls. The people all had the
filed teeth and thin. shrunken appear
ance which are always associated with
cannibal rites, and although they one
and all stoutly denied knowledge of
anything of the kind, every one of our
carriers said that not only was the
pot in the little hut meant for the sac
rifice of human victims. but the two
hideous mud figures of a god and god
dess in another shed on the further
side of the carved pillar had had their
heads worn away by the constant liba-

EXPLORER FINDS
STRANGE PEOPLE
Describes Weird Scene of Region
in South Africa

Cape Town. Afrlca-Mr. and Mrs.
p. Amaury Talbot have Just returned
to London from Central Africa, where
they had spent two years in an anthro-
biological, botanical and geological sur
yey from the Gulf of Guinea eastward
across the continent. In a statement
issued to the London press, Mr.. Talbot
declares that certain territory ne and
his wife traversed had never been Wis
tied by white man before. He said
that in the Southern Nigerian bush he
found evidence of the origin of the
witchcraft panic, which swept over
England, New England and southeast
ern Europe in the middle of the sew
enteenth century. Said Mr.. Talbot:
THE bush, with its soft green twi-
light, dark shadows. and quivering
lights, is peopled by many terrors, but
among these 'ojje,' or witchcraft,
reigns supreme. Should the suspicion
OF witchcraft fall upon any one, only
trial by ordeal can free them. The
most usual one is that Of eating esere,
poisonous bean which almost in
variably kills the suspected person.
The ordeals OF boiling oil poured upon
the palms of the hands and OF pepper
corns inserted in the eyes are far less
dreaded, not only because their re-
suits are practically never fatal, but
because the physical anguish entailed
is acknowledged TO be less intense
than that caused by esere."
One of the most interesting diseov-
cries was that OF the Lake of the
Dead in the Oban country.
"The name of THIS lake." said Mr..
Talbot, occurs In many of the tribal
songs, but for long time l could not
discover the meaning of the word, and
