The origin OF the tomahnwk pipe
dates from the time OF the French
Indian war. Indians on the march in
sisted on carrying their stone pipes,
and the pipes, in addition to the stone

the marching equipment. so some
genius devised this odd combination

SHOW AUTHORITY WITH WHIP
erideerooms In Certain Parts Of Africa
Assert Their Mastery In No un-
certain Manner.

On the day Of marriage In Juba-
land the girl issues from her fathers
house surrounded by throngs of wom-
en- dancing, singing and making a
great deal Of noise She Is taken to the
bridegroom's hut, where he awaits her.
AS she passes In through the low door
way he gives her two or three sharp
cuts with rhinoceros hide lash, to in
Innate that he intends to be master.
She then has to attend to the various
guests who come with gifts for the
newly married couple: but she is not
allowed to speak to them; neither does
her husband address her. All his com
mands, given by signs. have TO be
obeyed promptly, and should the girl
be slow or not understand the meaning
of his gestures, she Is instantly smart
ened up with sharp blow from the
lash. 1t Is point Of honor that she
utters no sound, however hard she is
dashed.
The husbands Of a certain section
Of Somalls tie rope round the brides
wrists on the first evening of marriage,
and attach the end Of the rope to a
branch, tightening 1t so that the girls
toes only just touch the ground; they
then proceed to administer sound
fiogging. But the girl never utters a
cry; and, as soon as the husband has
administered good hard beating he
takes her down, washes and anoints
her wounds, and looks after her tender
ly until the cuts heal and the stiffness
passes.

Reversing Speech.

There Is a curious Photographic In
strument, the invention of Poulsen,
capable of reversing the sounds OF
word or q sentence. A steel piano
wire. carried on two spools, passes be-
tween the poles of a small electro
magnet so connected with a telephone
transmitter that spoken words are
magnetically recorded on the moving
wire and reproduced in a receiving
instrument. When the motion Of the
wire is direct, the words are heard as
in ordinary conversation, but If the
motion is reversed, the sounds come
to the eur in reverse order, like words
spelled backward. To represent the
order in which the reversed sounds
strike the ear, however, not only must
the order of the letters composing q
word be reversed, but each letter must
itself be reversed from right to left
as when reflected from mirror.

Train Lighting Made Easy.

Small enough to be mounted almost

pact unit consisting of dlrect-con-

that has been produced In Switzer-

the housing for the turbine, between
1t and the dynamo, Is an air fan Tor
cooling the shaft bearing at this
point, and which acts also as stuff
ing box for the turbine. The turbine,
says Popular Mechanics Magazine, Is
very simple, and the steam requires
no control, for the air fan acts as a
governor, preventing racing, and keep

The lamps In the train remain re-
markably steady, and there is very
small variation of voltage. no matter
how many or how few lamps are In
operation.
