A most interesting little brochure
has recently come off the press setting
forth with Bible proofs that the COM
munications received by and through
Spiritist Mediums is of Demon origin
The writer traces his subject through
the Scriptures from the time when
certain of the holy angels became dis
obedient. He proves from the Scrip
lures that these falleE spirits per
senate the human dead. with whose
past history. spirits, though invisible,
are thoroughly acquainted. He shows
that they also frequently person.
ate the Creator and the Redeemer,
commanding their deceived ones to
pray. do penance, etc. This. however,
is merely to lead them on and to bring
them more thoroughly under demoni'
acal control. Sometimes by breaking
down the natural barrier, the human
will. they possess their victim, and rule
him more or less to his ruin-fvequent.
" sending such to the mad-house.
Numerous illustrations. Scriptlral and
otherwise. are given. TIE price Of the
little book is but five cents; it should
be in the hands of all interested in

ested therein. Enclose stamps to the

THEY SAW THE LAKE FLY.
An African Phenomenon That Looked
Like a Waterspout.

Crossing Victoria Nyanza, Messrs.

the authors of Through the Heart of
Africa" saw phenomenon which, al
though common on the lakes of central
Africa. seems rare enough.
The chief engineer on coming down
late to luncheon told us that he had
seen a waterspout near by. AS we
had finished our meal we hurried up
on deck to get glimpse of it. We
saw near the southern horizon a gray
smoke-like column arising from the
surface of the lake and expanding
into what looked like a cloud above.
Thinking that it must be the engineers

Gray and Mr.. Akeley. who were also
intently observing it. and asked them
If we were right in our conjecture

a smile. Files"
"Flies?" we repeated and turned to
Mr.. Akeley in the hope of getting from
him a more Ineligible explanation.

Assuring us that neither he nor the
skipper had any intention of deceiving
us. Mr.. Akeley explained that he re-
ferred to the insect known as the ''lake
fly" and not to any spasmodic fri
volity on the part of the waters of
Victoria Nyanza. The apparent water
spout was nothing more or less than
huge cloud composed of myriads of
tiny flies. They sometimes rise from
the surface of the lake in such dense
columns as TO obscure the light Of the
sun like pillar of smoke.

nation has been sent out from here
relative to the action of the Senate
Committee on Military Affairs, OF
which Senator dupont. Of Delaware. is
chairman, IN striking out Of the Army
Appropriation bill, the provision plac-
ing q limit upon the price of powder
It is explained here that the provision
was stricken out IN order to throw tho
bill into conference, so that the same
provision that Is TO be inserted in tho
Naval Appropriation bill and the forti
fications bill may be put in the Army
Appropriations bill and have them all
uniform. The situation was explained
on the floor of the Senate by Senators
DUPONT aud Warren OF Wyoming, who
resent the inference that the price
limit was stricken out of the Army
Appropriation bill because Senator du-
Pont chanced to be the chairman OF
the committee which had the bill in
charge.
