remained out on the veranda until about
II o'clock Away in the distance there
was heard the most hideous sounds
had ever heard.
''The noise from the Bundu women at
once ceased. and within ten minutes no
one could be found on the streets. The
silence Of death reigned in the village.
..Bianaka'x" Coming Heralded
las Manaka neared the village the
sound became more dreadful. 1t was ut
least one hour from the time first heard
him until he entered the town. knew
from the sound that he was coming d.
rect to the chiefs compound. where We
were lodging. 1 drew my chair close to
the edge of the veranda SO ! could get
a good view of him. In a short time the
old woman (the Daddy appeared
through the gateway and there followed
a large company of men and boys. By
this time Manaka had become two in
stead of one, and occupied position
in the center Of the crowd. Some frantic
demonstrations were at once entered into.
and then silence prevailed.
THE old Daddy walked up and looked
me squarely in the face. Her high cap,
peculiar garment. long staff. and a Ions
slim nose, reminded me of the picture
OF the old witch riding a broom. The
cid Daddy continued her devilish gaze
at me. and was glad when she walked
over to the house of a man that could
talk a little English and told him to in
form me that my wife must not even
peep out at the door or she would surely
lose her nose.
For fully an hour the entire COM
pany was frantic, and worked itself to
a high pitch of excitment, seen only
when the heather Is worshiping his
god. They then sent word to me that
I must go inside. but informed them
that the God / worshiped was stronger
than their god, and that l could not
obey them.
That was something they had never
met before, and after a short time they
moved on to the chiefs house. They

be met by the missionary who seeks to
carry Christianity into West Africa"

INVENTION TO AID WIRELESS.
New Machine May Send Flash Com
pIetely Around World.

Philadelphia. April 19.-An announce
ment of vital interest in the world OF
electric science was made at the meeting
Of the American Philosophical Society,
this afternoon. DIR. Michael, of New
York, the inventor of the famous .Pupin
Coil a device which greatly influenced
the advance of the telephone. informed
the savants present that he had produced
machine which would strengthen the
feeble waves Of wireless telegraph
transmitters and thereby facilitate long
distance communication. 1t was the
first news OF this discovery given to the
public
DR.. Pupin, who is professor of electro
mechanics at the Columbia University
worked for a number OF months on the
evolution Of the apparatus.
At the end Of his address, a lengthy
discussion followed, during which several
scientists expressed the belief that the
invention would revolutionize wireless
transmission. and nr. Elihu Thomson, of
Lynn. Mass. thought it meant the posi-
bility OF sending messages completely
around the globe in the near future.

Adventists' headquarters in Takoma
Park of Elder ID. c. Babcock and wife
and little son from Sierra Leone. West
Africa, to attend the quadrennial session
OF the general conference, May Is to
June s, was heard the story of horrible
devil-worshipping celebration among the
heather of that country and threat to
slash OFF the nose of Mrs Babcock if she
left the house. Mr.. and Mrs. Babcock
have spent several years as mission
aries in Africa. Elder Babcock last
night told of the threats made against
him by the devil-worshippers.
One evening we left village about
$50 miles interior from Free Town." said
Mr.. Babcock. 1T was rumored that
'Manaka.' the greatest of these devils,
would appear in the village In the Eng
lish 'Manaka means cut-nose devil and
he especially takes vengeance on women.
There are many women with their
noses cut of by this monster. They tell
you that If any woman looks at him she
will surely lose her nose. The wives Of
the chief came over early and advised
Mrs. Babcock to go into her room and
hide away so that she would not be-
come disfgured.
Manaka' is now under the control OF
an OLD woman; the chief of neiEhbor-
ing village, who claims that she has
passed from the stage of womanhood to
that of man, and allows no one to
call her mamma, but daddy. Her very
appearance strikes terror to the people
of the town where she visits. For some
days before the appearance of Manaka
she would pass our rooms. evidently
hoping to terrorize us so that We would
not dare to be outside when her devil
appeared.
AT last the evening arrived when he
was to make his appearance. The moon
shone brightly, and the Bundu women "a
secret society, were out in the bush
beating their drums dancing, and sing
ing. 1t was late in the night and Mrs
Babcock had retired, thinking that
nothing would transpire. Personally, L

Mr.. Hartman Is chairman of commit
tee which came from the first National
Conference on Farm Markets and Farm
Credits, held in Chicago last week
The Chicago conference was made up
OF delegates from nearly all the States
Of the Union who think that the ex-
pensive cost of distribution is the big
gest factor in the high cost OF living.
II am overwhelmingly impressed with
the importance of the subject which you
are presenting to me- Secretary Hous-
ton told the delegates, land / can as
sure you that this department will take
every means in its power to cooperate
with the various agencies which will ex-
pedite farm marketing. In the last Con-
gress the agricultural bill carried an ap-
preparation OF $4,000 to pay the expenses
for an investigation OF the various
phases OF food distribution. We are now
organizing to make this investigation and
hope to have progressed sufficiently by
fall to make recommendations to Con-
gress to secure the necessary legislation
and funds to carry on the work on a
scale In proportion to its Importance"
