VOL. XVII. WRECK ON SOUTHERN Train Plunges Through a Trestle Into Raging Creek. FOUR KILLED; SEVERAL INJURED A Repetition of Camp Greek Horror With Exception that the Fatalities Were Not so The southbound passenger train on the Southern railway was wrecked Thursday night at Couche's Mill creek, near Zeletta, Ga, and four men were killed and several wounded. It was a repetition of the Camp creek horror, only the fatality was not so great. Those killed were: Engineer Allen Methews, of Columbus; Baggage Master J. L. Hill, Columbus; Mall Clork Leo G. Murray, Atlanta; Isaac McDowell, fireman, Columbus. The injured are: Hon. O. B. Stevens, commissioner of agriculture of Georgia; Clifton Jones, official of the Southern railway; unknown drummer from New York, and a man and child from Neal, Ga., all of whom were badly bruised. The accident occurred about '10:30 o'clock and was caused by the heavy rains which fell during the day and converted the little stream, known as Couche's Mill creek, into a raging torrent, nearly one hundred feet across and about thirty feet deep: It is thought the timbers supporting the bridge had been swept away, leaving only the stringers upon which the doomed train rushed. Plunge of Care Into Creek. The trestle was about fifty feet above the raging waters and when the track gave way the engine plunged to destruction, carrying with it the mall and baggage car and the second-class coach. The first-class coach, in which were a number of passengers, remained on the track, but the front trucks were within a few feet of the yawning abyss and a few more revolutions of the wheels would have meant death to many souls. The engine fell in the bed of the creek and no sign of the ponderous machine was visible above the muddy waters, and it is thought the brave engineer, who stuck to his post of duty to the death, was caught beneath the immense weight and burled deep in the mud. The baggage car was also entirely submerged, but the water began falling and the top was visible by noon Friday and an opening made, through which the body of Mr. Hill was rescued. The first body recovered was that of the colored fireman, which was found nearly 100 yards below the wreck. The second-class coach fell near the bank and was only partly submerged. In it at the time of the wreck were the conductor, Clifton Jones, the porter, and a negro passenger, all of whom were more or less injured, while all suffered from being confined in the car in which the water was running in at the windows. The conductor managed to slimp upon the top of the car, but his position was little better than those who were unable to secure such an elevated position. The men were kept prisoners in the car for nearly six hours before help came. When they were finally brought to the shore they were thoroughly exhausted and well nigh frozen. Up to a late hour Friday afternoon the work of clearing away the doblrs had scarcely begun, and it will be several days before trains will be running over the trestle. PETITION FOR DISPENSARY. Another Georgia County Will Probably Have an Election. A petition is being circulated calling for an election on the dispensary question for Monroe county, Ga. A sufficient number of signatures have already been obtained and it is expected that an election will be held at an early date to settle the question. PRINCE IN CHICAGO. Windy City Halle Visitor With Glad Hand and Red Fire A glare of red fire that could be seen for miles, the blaze of hundreds and hundreds of torches, the sparkle of myriads of electric lights and the cheers of thousands of people made up the first taste of Chicago's hospitality that was given Prince Henry of Prussia upon his arrival in that city. No more flattering welcome could have been extended any visitor, and, it came not so much from the officials of the city as from its citizens. The grand ball given in his honor at the auditorium was immense. Carolinians Go to Washington to Urge President to Visit.Charleston Exposition. A Washington special says; Strong appeals are being made to President Roosevelt from all parts of South Carolina urging him not to abandon his intention to visit the Charleston exposition. The white house is being flooded with letters, telegrams and editorial comments from southern news papers assuring the president that the fair-minded people of the southland have no sympathy with the disgraceful performances of the two South Carolina senators, and they also deprecate the rude action of Lieutenant Governor Tillman in connection with the proposed presentation of a sword to Major Jenkins on the occasion of the president's proposed visit to Charleston. The authorized statement from Major Jenkins to the effect that he is no party to the intended insult to President Roosevelt, and his refusal to receive the sword procured for him through the efforts of Lieutenant Governor Tillman, meets the hearty approval of everybody in Washington. The prompt refusal of Major Jenkins to be a party to any move which savors of a reflection upon the president meets the unqualified approval of the South Carolina colony in Washington. Coupled with Major Jenkin's refusal to accept the sword at the hands of Lieutenant Governor Tillman is an official statement from the managers of the Charleseton exposition to the effect that they disavow any responsibility for Lieutenant Governor Tillman's officious telegram to the president. Charleston at Capital. Mayor Smyth and Aldermen Rhett and Kollock, representing the city, President Wagener and Director Hemphill, of the exposition board, left Charleston Sunday afternoon for Washington, to urge the president to carry out his promise to visit Charleston. A special from Columbia says: The latest incident in the Tillman-McLaurin incident has stirred South Carolina as much as any former sensation. The report printed Sunday morning that Senator Tillman had intimated to Senator Platt, of New York, that it might be unpleasant, if not-dangerous, for President Roosevelt to visit Charleston, was staggering. During the day something in the way of confirmation was received in Columbia. Governor McSweeney declared, however, he could not believe Senator Tillman had made such a suggestion. The only feeling ever entertained against the president was in connection with the Booker, Washing ton incident, and that had passed away. "There is now," said the governor, "no warrant whatever to believe there will be the slightest discourtesy shown the president. He will be honored as the chief executive of the great na- HENRY VISITS SOUTHLAND. Brief Stops Made at Chattanooga, Nashville and Louisville. Prince Henry of Prussia went up Lookout mountain, at Chattanooga, Tenn., Sunday and after viewing the ground where the union and confederate armies met in conflict and hearing afresh the story of the battles, resumed his journey to the north and west. Leaving Chattanooga over the Nashville, Chattanooga and St. Louis railroad, his train ran through a corner of Alabama and then turning to the north hurried across Tennessee with a short stop at Nashville, through Kentucky, with brief stays at Louisville and Bowling Green and up into Indiana, with another brief halt at Indianapolis. At Indianapolis the course was changed to the westward again, and on the tracks of the Vandalia his train ran on to St. Louis. His reception at the south was hospitable and demonstrative. There was a great crowd at Chattanooga and the people presented the prince with a handsome souvenir of his visit. Nashville also made a demonstration of friendliness, as did Loulsville and Indianapolis. ANOTHER RAISE PROBABLE. Move to Further Advance Insurance Rates In Atlanta, Ga.* A party of agents representing all the fire insurance companies in Atlanta, left Monday for New York for the purpose of conferring with the insurance companies regarding a raise of insurance rates in Atlanta. A recent raise of twenty-five per cent was placed in Atlanta, and now it is probable that the rates will be raised, again on drug stores and other special articles that are easily damaged by fire. SAVANNAH. GA.. SATURDAY. MARCH 8. 1902. DERAIL CARS; FIGHTS FREQUENT Woman Striker Knocks Out a Sergeant of Police and Presents a Lieutenant With Black Eye. A mob of 5,000 strike sympathizers thronged the streets of Norfolk, Va., on which the main line of the Company runs, and the police were unable to cope with it. From noon until after dark the mob had things its own way in the city. In the county where the car barns are the military was in control of the situation. Cars were repeatedly derailed, wagon loads of rocks were piled on the tracks and free fights between the military guards and the crowd occurred during the day at frequent intervals. In one of these a sergeant ran a bayonet into the arm of H. H. Harmansef, a barber. Mrs. Harmansef was standing by her husband at the time. She knocked the sergeant to the ground with both fists and discolored the face of Lleufenant E. R. Gale, who was near her, with a well-directed blow. Several soldiers were hit by bricks and other missiles thrown through the windows of the cars. A number of arrests have been made, both by the police and military. A conference was held by Mayor Beaman, Police Chief Veltines and Colonel Hieggins, commanding the Seventy-first Virginia regiment, eight companies of which are in service, relative to placing the city under martial law. The police force of 100 men is unable to meet the emergency. It is possible that the four additional companies of the regiment and a battery of artillery will be called for to take charge of the city. There is no settlement of the strike in sight, both sides adhering to their first positions. Martial law will be declared. Four more infantry companies from Emporia, Suffolk, Smithfield and Franklin, making the entire Seventy-first regiment, have been ordered out. The strikers cut a mile of trolley wire in the city. The troops are now guarding the power plant. A detachment of a Newport News company, under Captain Gilkerson, is on duty. At a meeting held Tuesday night the Centrad Labor Union boycotted the street cars. Common Councilman S. H. Kelley, also a leader of the strikers, offered a resolution during council meeting to revoke the street railway franchise for a lapse of two days in running cars. The resolution was referred to a special committee. Tuesday night six non-union men from Knoxville were held up. The strikers overpowered them. They bore arms and were arrested for carrying concealed weapons. ROUSS WILL, IS FILED. Document Shows How Dead Million- alresDisposed of His Wealth. The will of Charles Broadway Rouss was filed for probate in the surrogate's office at New York Tuesday. The will was executed March 17, 1898. It made no charitable bequests. The will left to Mrs. Charles Broadway Rouss, now dead, the house on Fifth avenue and $5,000 yearly. The building in which his business was conducted was left to his two children, Mrs. Virginia Lee and Peter Winchester Rouss. It was stipulated that Mrs. Lee was to get the Fifth avenue house if her mother died. She also gets Mr. Rouss' farm in Virginia, Jefferson county. Mr. Rouss requested that his son Peter continue the business on Broadway under the old name, William W. Rouss, a brother of the dead millionaire, is made an executor, and he and another brother receive $100,000 each. The residue of the estate is willed to Peter Winchester Rouss. PANAMA TRADE IS OFF. Stockholders Vote to Postpone* Entertering Into Any Engagement At extraordinary meeting of the shareholders of the new Panama Canal Company in Paris Friday President Bo read a message from the consul general of Colombia at Paris setting forth that the company could not transfer its concession to another nation without first the assent of Colombia. The meeting adopted a resolution expressing approval of the attitude of the board of directors and deciding in view of the message of the Colombian consul general, to postpone entering into any engagement. TRIP NOT ABANDONED ASSURANCE GIVEN DELEGATION Tillman Matter Not Mentioned at White House Meeting—Sensational Articles in New York Papers Untrue.. A Washington special says: President Roosevelt will carry out his original intention to visit the Charleston exposition. This conclusion was reached Monday during a conference between the president and a delegation of citizens representing Charleston. The president received his visitors with great cordiality, entertained them at luncheon and assured them that nothing had occurred to alter his determination to visit the exposition. The Tillman-McLaurin incident was not even mentioned during the interview and there was no allusion to the sword presentation affair, which allowed Lieutenant Governor Tillman to acquire some questionable notoriety. The president evidently proposes to ignore that subject and his visitors had no occasion to revive such an unpleasant incident. The Charleston delegation called at the white house Monday morning by appointment with the president, and had a brief interview with him in his office during which he assured them that he would visit Charleston in the following emphatic language: "I shall most certainly come. I am anxious to visit Charleston, and shall do so after consultation with Mrs. Roosevelt as to what date will be most convenient. My little son, Theodore, is still far from well and we will have to confer with Dr. Rixey as to when we can with propriety leave him. I hope to be able to make the trip some time the latter part of the present month, probably about the 26th. These details we can arrange a few days later. Now, gentlemen, will you do me the honor to take luncheon with me this afternoon at half past 1 o'clock?" The Charleston delegation withdrew, delighted with the assurances given them by the president, and later they returned to the white house and spent nearly two hours at luncheon and in the most delightful conversation with the president and Mrs. Roosevelt. It was an entirely informal affair, and the conversation took a wide and general range. Naturally, the president expressed the deepest interest in the Charleston exposition and the historic associations which cluster around that city. Mrs. Roosevelt evidenced a keen interest in the arrangement for the trip and it was finally concluded that the president and his party will spend two days in Charleston. The original program will be carried out as far as possible, which includes a visit to the exposition on "President's day," with a military escort, a cruise down the harbor to Fort Sumter, a visit to Sullivan's island, and also a stop over night at Pine Forest inn, at Summerville, and an inspection of Dr. Sheppard's tea farm at the latter place. It was agreed that the date for the trip would be left open for two or three days. The efforts of some New York newspapers to create a sensation over the alleged possibility of the president being made uncomfortable in case he went to South Carolina creates only amusement in Washington. It was alleged that Senator Tillman had called on Senator Platt, in New York, and had said there was such great indignation in South Carolina toward Roosevelt that it would be unwise for him to go there. The story was made out of whole cloth. Tillman did not see Platt at all and said nothing of the sort to anybody. On the contrary, he says he is sure the president will be well received and will be given a great time. - NO NEGROES FOR FILIPINOS. Islanders Consider Themselves Better Than Blacks, Says Taft. The question of, sending American negroes to the Philippines, came up while Governor Taft was discussing the extent of labor required for developing the railroads in the islands, before the house committee on insular affairs Saturday. Mr. Williams, of Mississippi, and Mr. Patterson, of Tennessee, asked if negro labor from this country could not be utilized on this work. Governor Taft thought, this inexpedient, as the Filipino considered himself superior to the negro. Charles Broadway Rouss, Noted Money King, Passes Away In New York City. Charles Broadway Rouss, millionaire-philanthropist, died in New York Monday from heart disease and dropy. He was morn at Woodsboro, Md., in 1836. He first engaged in business in Winchester, Va., served in the Confederate army and went to New York in 1665. He had been in business there continuously from that time. He erected at his own expense a monument to dead Confederate soldiers in Mount Hope cemetery, New York city, founded a physical laboratory at the University of Virginia and gave $100,000 for a Confederate monument to be located in Richmond, Va. Among the first things Mr. Rouss did when he began business in New York was to hang up in His store in a picture of Jefferson Davis, father of the Confederacy. This was, however, only one exhibition of his love for the Confederacy. The large sums which he contributed to various Confederate causes was another evidence. Mr. Rouss always retained a love for the town of Winchester, in the valley of Virginia, in which he formerly lived, and contributed greatly to its unbuilding. In addition to his other contributions mentioned for the state, he found the Battle Abbey at Richmond. One of the sad features in connection with the life of Mr. Rouss was his futile effort to restore his sight, which he lost by degrees during his business career. His offer of sums of money which he finally increased to $1,000,000, brought many applicants with as many remedies. These, of course, were more than he could use or try, and as a means of trying the remedies he had other blind men to undergo the treatment. It was said that there were as many as fifteen or twenty blind men trying the treatment a one time, which if successful he would take. None were ever successful. MONEY FOR WATERWAYS. River and Harbor Bill Completed and Items Made Public. The river and harbor bill was completed last Saturday and the items made public. Unusual interest attaches to the measure this year, as last year passed without a river and harbor bill. The total carried by the measure just completed is $60,700,000. Of this total $24,000,000 is in cash and $36,700,000 is in continuing contracts available July 1, 1903. The total is about $2,000,000 more than the bill which was "talked to death" during the final hours of the last congress. The appropriations of $25,000 or over for harbors in this immediate section are as follows: South Carolina—Charleston, $45,000. Georgia—Savannah, $50,002 and continuing contract, $1,000,000; Doboy bar and Darlen, $30,000; Brunswick, inner harbor and outer bar, $140,000; outer bar (Goodyear), $45,000. Florida—Key West, improving entrance to harbor, $100,000; dredge for river and harbor improvements in Florida, $35,000; Hillsboro bay, $150, 000; Apalachicola bay, $40,000; Pensacola, $200,000.

IRISH DENOUNCE ENGLAND. Tillman Orator at Emmett Birthday Cenebration in New York. Under the auspices of the Clan-nagael, the one hundred and twenty-fourth birthday of Robert Emmett was celebrated Sunday at the Academy of Music in New York. A large crowd was in attendance. United States Senator Tillman, of South-Carolina, delivered the oration. Resolutions were adopted condemning England's colonial policy; depricating entangled alliances by the European nations; sympathizing with the Boers. Case of Tillman and McLaurin Is Finally Disposed of. He Tells Senate That Among Gentlemen an Apologetic Statement Is Usually Considered Sufficient. As soon as the Journal was approved in the senate Friday Senator Burrows presented the resolution of censure upon Senators Tillman and McLaurin. The report of the committee read in the senate says that the offense of Tillman was much greater than that of McLaurin. Mr. Bailey presented a report of the democrats agreeing to the resolution, but dissenting from the majority that there was a difference in the gravity of the offense. They also disagreed from the majority that a senator might be suspended. The report of the three dissenting republicans submitted by Mr. McComas asserted that the offenses of the South Carolina senators were unequal and the punishment should not be the same. The minority report favored suspension of McLaurin for five days and of Tillman for twenty days. Mr. Pritchard did not concur with McComas and Beveridge as to infliction of punishment of McLaurin and asserted that he had merely been sufficiently punished. The roll was called on the adoption of the majority report of the committee on privileges and election. Senators Beveridge, Clark (Wyo.), Deboe, Delitrich, Foster (Wash.), Kittredge, Millard, Pritchard, Proctor and Scott voted "no" on the resolution. It was carried. Mr. Kean, of New Jersey, having voted in the affirmative said that in view of the remark of Mr. Tillman he would change his vote. When the result of the vote was announced, Mr. Burrows demanded that Mr. Tillman's words be taken down. When the words were read, Mr. Tillman said he did not intend his words to be offensive, and if they were he would withdraw them. "Without objection," said President Pro Tempore Frye, "they will be withdrawn." Mr. Hoar presented an additional rule looking to the prevention of such occurrences in the future, which was referred. Tillman In Suppressed Rage. Senator Tillman showed a great degree of suppressed rage at the censure administered, while McLaurin seemed cool and collected. After the vote was announced Tillman left the senate floor and sought seclusion in a cloak room, where he valy tried to control his passion. He paced up and down the floor like a caged tiger. His great anger was first manifested during roll call on the resolution administering the reprimand to him and Senator McLaurin alike. As one senator after another voted "aye" Tillmān's, surprise became more pronounced, until, as the clerk approached his name, surprise changed to evident rage. His face grew pale, his countenance became stern and set as if defiance strove to break out from his soul into words. Then the clerk called "Tillman." The senator arose, his frame rocking with passion. "Among gentlemen," he said "an apology for an offense committed in heat of blood is usually considered sufficient." These were his first words on the floor of the senate since the fight. As he sat down his face became livid and so remained until the vote was finished Senator Tillman was asked if he would have anything more to say regarding the action of the senate. He replied: "No; I'm done." SCHOOL KIDS ON STRIKE. Rebelled Against Teachers Who Ride on Boycotted Cars. Eighty-five school children of Zeelville, Ind., gathered about the school building Tuesday, marched into the rooms in a body and carried out their books. They announced that they were quitting the school because two of the teachers ride on interurban cars on which non-union trainmen are employed. About all the children belong to families of union coal miners, who are in sympathy with the Terre Haute street car strikers. Tare = : a2 The Savannah Tribune. fen SE .

Washington as commencément orator of the University of Nebraska. Many of the southern dailies said that some of the students disliked the selection. Chancellor Andrews in rebutting this report sent the following to the New York Tri- bune : : “The report that there is, or _has been, opposition in the sen- ior class of the University of Nebraska, 6r amongany of the students or faculty members here;to Booker T. Washington as commencement orator next June is entirely false. Mr. Washing- ton was the spontaneous and unanimous choice of the senior class committee appointed for the purpose of selecting the com- mencvement orator and his choice was ratified by the class with absolute unanimity. There was not a single negative vote or voice. The facnity never inter- fere in such selections and used no infimence in this case, but so far as known, are satisfied -with the choice.

Some time ago in Boston he de- livered himself.of the strange utterances that what the insti- tutions of Hampton and Tuske- gee were doing was but to edu- gate the negro so as to enable him to enter the trades and crowd out the white people. ‘This is a peculiar discrimination to make just.as we have begun to elevate the colored men and women. We ought to realize that the main thing that divides the negro from the white is the lack of culture, and that by giv- ig hi this culture, we will en- noble him and raise him to a lev- el of intelligence and creative citizenship.” : Bishop Potter said that after the President had entertained Booker T. Washington as his guest, he telegraphed him as follows : “I congratulate you upon your guest He was 2 guest at my table last winter, and Inever entertained a worthier one.” “Some how or other my mes- sage became public and since that time I have received numer. ous letters from people south the Mason and Dixon line, e treating me not to show mysel! in their neighborhood, as theit citizens had no.desire to enter tain me.” si Inhis address Mr. ,Washing ton Said : “If we would discuss what i: known as the race question with any sores of benétit,- we musi reach the point where we can’ s¢ far rid ourselves of sectional and raciai prejudice, that we canina lange degree place our. selves in the position of the Southern white man and at the same time put ourselves in the place of the negro, Nothing will be gained for either race 01 forany section of our countr} by bitter attacks and criticisms. ‘For 250 years the negro wai worked. ,What he wants t learnis to work.

Mr. W. E. Burghart DuBois has lately finished his series of advisory lectures to the Negroes. Just now onr poor black brother is the most advised man in Christendom.

Suing For Damage. Some months ago THE TRIBUNE published the brutal treatment of a young colored woman, Mrs. Susie Mack by two white men, J.G. Brinson and T. Nugent, a clerk in the post-office. These men were find in the city court for the assault. Since that time a suit for damage was filed against them by the young woman. The case came up in the city court this week. Lawyer Colding appeared for the defendants and in his argument appealed strongly to race prejudice, which did surprise many of his colored friends, as they looked upon him as being kindly disposed towards them and above such passionate appeals. Lawyer Wilson looked after the interest of the plaintiff and made a strong plea for her. The case ended in a mistrial. The daily papers said nothing about this case. It will be remembered that Major W. H. Royall took a lively interest in the case in befriending the defenseless woman whom he knew nothing about. This is just like the major—kind-hearted and true to everybody. The Evangelical Ministers Union met at St. Philips, corner Charles and West Broad streets, Tuesday morning at eleven o'clock with Rev.

E. church of Philadelphia, were at this juncture introduced to the meeting by Dr. Cargile: Both of these distinguished visitors delivered able addresses which were listened to with unabated interest.

Yet the native pilots ‘conduct voyages all over thelr own archipelago and to the Carolines In one direction and the Gilberts tn an; other. , For this voyage they rely upon charts of thelr own construction, the knowledge Waving been handed down from remote antiquity. ‘These charts are ‘generally about a yafd square and are constaructed of slender sticks tied together. At some intersections of the sticks are fastened small’ shells, which-stand for the different Islands. The pilot posts himself in the bow of the vessel with his chart before him, He begins by establishing the partic- ular shell corresponding to the Island from which he ts just salling. He sets th6 course as Indicated by one.of ‘the sticks radiating from that shell in the proper direction. Thereafter he watches the course of the seaywith very slight use of the heavenly bodies for the de- termination of direction. ‘They makegno secret of their art. ‘They are often at great pains to teach it to white men, and wonder that no one has yet becn found capable of grasping it. Their explanation ts that each stick on the chart sows the course of a stream In the sea, and that by following the streams they can find thelr way to thelr destination. ‘They claim to sec these streams with thelr Intersections just as shown by the sticks.

It Is a simple trick, consisting simply of throwing the motion of the bedy out of time with that of the horse, and by the sway of his body helping to lift him at every bound. Another trick practiced by jockeys {s talled the “leg lock," and when cautiously applied has more to do with the result of the race than the uninitiated may think. In effect, it 1s one jockey holding an- other back, and this fs done’ by the “leg lock.” Iwo horses are lending the field, one perbaps only a neck ahead of the other. As they come into the straight they are running close together. The leading jockey sees his chance and draws closer to his opponent until the horses almost touch. He lets the second gain on him until the leg of his opponent touches his leg from behind. Tlis Je just what the Uttle rascal wants. Let his opponent win if he can.

In the course of the work in progress for widening the Rue Vanean, this roadway—which It would be incorrect to describe ag a thoroughfare, considering that the ends were blocked up-lwas discovered. It had neither pavint’ stones nor pave- ient, was two metres wide, and an old inscription showed that it was formerly called Rue d’Ollvét.

A very queer case of a foreign body in a vital organ Js reported in the Australian press, ‘Mr. R. G. Foyster, J. P., conducted a magisterial inquiry at Echuca, Victoria, concerning the death of Stephen Harris, re body was found floating fn the Campaspe river, and during the post-mortem ex- amination, Dr. Kelly made an extraor- dinary discovery. In the centre of the heart he found an ordinary wax match. How it could have got there he was at ‘a loss to explain. A French explorer journeying in the south of Algerla, was captured by Arabs and threatened with death. In searching him, however, they fount! a portratt of a famous Parisian dan- seuse. One of the chiefs had been to the Paris exposition, and had been so fmmensely impressed by the beauty and grace of the lady in question that he immediately released the prisoner, because he thought he was her friend. Physiologists and scientists in gener- al have been making some curious ex- periments, with a view to determine the relative strength of “right and left Umbs.” Fifty and nine-tenths percent of the men examined had the right arm stronger than the left; 16.4 percent had the two arms of equal length and strength, and 32,7 percent had the left arm stronger than the right. Of wom- en, 46.9 percent had the right arm stronger than the left; 24.5 percent had the left stronger than the right. ‘The most extraordinary forest in the world was discovered by Dr. Welwitsch and occupied a tableland some six miles in width, between“300 and 400 feet above the sea, near the west coast of Africa, The peculiarity of the trees of this forest is that, though their trunks’are as much as four feet in di- ameter, they @ttain the height of only one foot. No tree bears more than two Jeaves and these attain a length of six and a breadth of two feet. The flow- ers make’ gorgeous crimson clusters. In respect to the comparative speed of animated beings it may be remarked that neither size nor comparative strength seem to have much influence.
