Its longth Is 1,047 miles, and ns It Is bisected by the equator almost exactly half way between its northern and south' ern extremities, it Is distinctively a trop ical land. It is separated from the Malay peninsula by a narrow struit nnd from Java by a still narrower one. Llko this more famous island, it ubounds in volca noes, several of which are mora or less no tlvo, and whon Java received tho awful volcanic, and seismic visitation known in tho records as tho Krnkatoa outburst Sumatra suffered with her Island neighbor. Mr. Weber, who is a native of Switzer land, has already left America, but it will bo somo timo before he reaches Sumatra. From New York he went to Lcydcn, where he proposes to remain for a month or so examining Sumutran specimens In tho ex cellent museum there. When ho has suffi ciently fortified himself with the knowl edge ho can obtain at Leyduu, hn will go dlroet to Sumatra, via tho Suez canal, Coylon and Singapore. As soon as ho lands upon Sumatran soil he will engage a force of natives, to whom he will delegate the hunting, Ashing and trapping that aro necessary parts of the expedition's work This plan will leave him free to devote most of his own timo to tho classification of Mi r;i. clniens and their preparation for Siilpiiiunt to Ai.ierlea. It Is stated of both the animal and vege table life of Sumatra that It is not only extremely luxuriant, hut very characters tie as well. Thut Is to say, the types there found aro many of them unliko those thut are Indigenous anywhere else out hucurfnoa of the ball which we cull tho earth. It is argued from this that tho separation of me island train tho mainland must huve taken plnoe at a very remote period Ot her- wise thcro would not linvo beon siilllclont time for the evolution of such pronounced ly distinct types. A short time before ho snllcd awav Mr. Wcncr spoke at some length, through the medium of a newspaper Interviewer, unon the expedition and the characteristics of Java. It contains a larger variety of monkeys than aro to bo found In any other lana. its tauna generally exhibits a (treat er tendency toward the forms of antiquity than are to be met with elsewhere. There are very many varieties of animals of cx traonllnary size. The pachydermata (tntcK skinned beasts) are largely repre sented, including a distinct variety of elo- phants. Tho rhinoceros of Sumatra Is also peculiar, though not unique, from the lact that It Is furnished with two horns. like the rhinoceros of Africa und unlike that of Java, which it would bo supposed to more nearly resemble. Although the wnu uoaris tound In the Malayan uenln sula and the Island of Juva, both very near neignoon, ic aoeg not seem to exist at all in bumatra. Tho vnrlcty of bats Is ex iracrtiinory.

Far more interesting and important than any of these, however, aro the hu mans of Sumatra. There is Dot space to speak of the various races, many of them of evident Malay origin, nor of their cu rious customs and speech, both spoken and written. The population is believed to In clude a tribe of balry wild men, which may be found on close examination t) be nearer the primitive type than any that has vet been studied. Individuals of this tribe nave been often seen in the jungles, but never approached closely. They arc said to be without tails, to walk upright Inva riably and to carry clubs and lances.

Mortality Bates aa Affected by the Various Occupations. I.lfo Insurance experts and those Interest ed in mortality statistics generally employ In their business a self explanatory term known as "tho expectation of life." Under this beading experience has furnished val uable tables, by means of which the proba bility of tho duration of different lives is reduced to a practically accurate basis a basis rendered doubly reliablo by reason of tho fact that the results are based upon many independent sets of observations ob tained from widely different sources. The similarity of the statistics thus obtained is remarkable. Charles Stevenson, a well known actuary of Edinburgh, has contributed to the "ex pectation of life" tables information on this subject in the shape of a little paper on "The Effect of Employment on Life and Health," in which many curious facts are presented concerning the relation of occupa tions to mortality rules. 1 he largest mortality rate In the Indoor occupations considered is found among liquor sellers, a fact which explains the re luctance of life insurance companies to write insurance on that class of risks. Mr. Stevenson finds the average mortality among 1,000 liquor sellers to bo 29.3, increas ing from 12.U between the ages ot 20 and 29 to 102.8 from age of TO upward. He divides the liquor sellers into three classes licensed grocers, hotel keepers and barkeepers and shows the respective mortality rates to be, from 25 years of age upward, 18.11, 26.8 and 83.4 respectively, which shows that the life risk of the average barkeeper is an exceed ingly hazardous quantity. Among 1,000 gardeners the death rate is found to bo 10.0; carpenters, 13.4; shoemak ers, 13.4; stonemasons, 10.8: butchers, 17.8, and innkeepers, 21.4. This agrees precisely with the information collected by Ameri can life insurance companies, which shows the butcher to be a hazardous risk, second only to the innkeeper and saloon keeper. The most curious facts resulting from this investigation are those concerning the death rate among the clergy, a class which the author has divided Into three sections namely, Church of Englund clergy, Non conformist clergy and Roman Cathollo clergy. One thousand cases investigated in each ot these sections shows tho death rate to be lowest in the Church ot Knglund clergy, where tho average Is 10.2, and high est In the Roman Catholic clergy, where the average Is 15.7. These figures suggest an interesting contribution to the study of celibacy in its relation to the mortality rate. The value ot outdoor exercise, with abundanco of fresh air and clear conscience, is amply set forth In a comprehensive table showing tho number per 100 of the various occupations that attain the age of 70 or more. Again the clergy tops the list, with 43 out of 100 who attain tho age of 70, while the farmers come next with 40 and the other occupations in the following order: Commercial men (drummers), 85; military men, 83; lawyers, 20; artists, 28; teachers, 27, and physicians, 24. The apparently anomalous feature ot fefCTceWo JtTi?za?te from a layman's point of view, in reality attain a greater longevity than their lens warlike brothers of tho sciences and arts. This favorable position of the military man, considered from a life insurance standpoint, has come to be recognized in recent years to such an extent that one ot the largest life companies has recently waived all re strictions in the matter of military risks, Us experience tubles showing the loss of but one risk during the last three South Amer ican revolutions.

Otero of Santo Fe to a group of friends at the Laclede, "but by far the worst stampede is thut of terrified oxen. When they are loose they will. If friuht- ened, run over a precipice If it comes In their way, but if stampeded when hitched to wagons very few will escape. Once whon on the Cimarron one of my ox teams be came frightened, what at I never knew. The six oxen started oil at breakneck sneed. and the contagion was imparted to two other oxen. "The men tried to stop them, but they might ns well have tried to check a moun tain torrent. The oxen went on right across tho country, with the heavy wagons rat tling at their heels, and ran until nearly half of them fell dead from exhaustion. I used to think tout a blooded horse was the only animal that would run itself to death, but alter my experience I learned that it was no uncommon thing for a frightened ox to do."

Mr. Carstarphen, of Denver, has brought out an li",'i'iiious reciprocating electrical chisel for the use of sculptors. The handle has a double solenoid and a switch, the core being attached to the chisel itself. A reciprocating motion is thus obtained, so that the operator merely guides the tool. A portable storage battery works the in strument. Such an apparatus as this mi(;ht be used for caulking and chipping in engineers' shops where electric power If available In the same way as the pneumatic tool of the same type is now used.

Comment has been made because some noted paiutings of Scriptural and oriental life do not depict the headdresses of the mules.

I buto bathing on a falling tide, par ticularly nt Boulogne; but as everybody was beginning to clear out from the sands It must have been past 13. I do not think there were more than 50 people in the woter, and In the little wooden oflice the young woman who handed me my complete cos tume, as it is called, my two towels and a ticket for the bathing machine, ana took my 1 frtfno 60 centimes in exchange, re marked that it was very late. I jumped Into the first machine which stood at the edge of the surf. There was no necessity to order it to be dragged further out, for the tide rises so very rapidly at Boulogne. By tho time I had undressed and method ically folded my clothes and placed my watch in one of my boots and my purso In the other for I am a very careful man, and like to provide against possible con tingenciesthe water was nt least a couple of feet deep at tho foot of the steps ot my machine. I stepped down into the sea, ex panded my magnificent chest, strode out Into the deep water at once and com menced to swim. I swim particularly well that's one of the reasons I hate bathing late, because there is no gallery to applaud my performance. I am always perfectly at ease in the water. In sea water I can go on swimming without Inconvenience for several hours, nnd I nlways get consider ably more than my one franc fifty's worth out of the Etablissement des Bains. Like tho swan of the nursery rhyme, I had swum out to sea, and then, also like the swan, proceeded to swim back aguin. And then I saw a Venus Anadyomeue In pink and white. Don't be alarmed, reader. I don't mean that she was like Hans Breit mann's "maiden mit nodlngs on," for she wore a delicious bathing costume of pink and white stripes, and her pretty head was surmounted by a little Tyrolese straw hut, which contained the magnificent wealth of her raven hair. You may naturally ask, how did I know thut she had a magnificent wealth of raven lialrf X don't mind con fessing that I had met the lady before. Where? Well, at the Casino at the Cercle des Plougeiirs, on several occasions even, I bad had the pleasure ot sitting next her, and 1 had admired her pluck, for she planked down her napoleons aye, nnd lost them, too with a dignity worthy of a Cleopatra. What arms she lmfl What nmi;iiftomt, delicious, plump white anus, and how well she swam tool Of course I shouldn't have done it if we'd been on shore, but here were two people of congenial tastes who had met before, mind you, und it would have been absolutely rude if I hadn't acknowledged her presence in some way or other. "Bon jour, madam," I said. She returned my salutation, and then she added In English, "You will not think me indiscreet, monsieur, if I ask you to keep near me, for I begin to huve fear," and her great black eyes looked at me with a sort of piteous entreaty. "Is your strength failing you at all, mad imiBt" I man! anvioualv. "It is nenrlv a quarter 01 u nine oeiure we can get into Our depth." "Monsieur is strong and brave," she re plied. "His presence renders tear Impos sible," "If modnme will kindly place one hand upon my neck," I said, "and go on swim ming with the other hand, we shall be able to get on perfectly well, I think." "And the convenances?" Bnid the lady, and there was a twinkle of fun in the lovely black eyes. way, we haven t even been introduced." But she put her hand upon my neck all the same. A sort of clectrio thrill passed through my frame, and I went on swim ming strongly, but perhaps a little more slowly, tor 1 don t uiitid confessing that I rather liked the situation than otherwise, and that I was iu no particular hurry to reach the shore. "I shall never forget the kindness of mon sieur," said tho lady. "I don't miud telling you that 1 had already begun to fear that the breakfast which I have ordered at the Casino would never be served to me." "I, too, am brenkfusting at the Casino," I suid. "Would it be an impertineuce, madam e, if I suggested that we celebrate this morning's adventure by breakfasting together?" "There is no favor that I could refuse monsieur," Bald the lady softly, "since he has saved my life. ' And then in a few moments my foot struck the hard sand. We walked hand In hand together for some yards through tho water, and then she flung herself into my arms, kissed 1110 upon the cheek iu a pas sion of enthusiasm and gratitude, and sob bing upon my shoulder she thanked me again for saving her life. How I wished that it bnd only been a couple of hours earlier, when the sands would have been crowded by 2,000 or 8,000 untucrsl JUy heart beat wildly in this ma ment of my triumph, but alas! there was no one to observe my heroic deed no one except tho bathing men. A lady can't stand sobbing and resting her head upou a gentleman's shoulder forever. "Give me your arm, monsieur," she suid. "I tremble. My machine is No. 03." I did as I was bid, and again the pressure of the plump little hand sent un ecstatic thrill through my heart. We reached ma chine No. 03. "Au revoir, niadamc." I said, and I has tened to find my own dressing room on Wheels. "Pur ieil" shouted one of the bathing men, liuucuting the one numbered 184. But 1W was not tho machine I had left and I told the fellow so. "Monsieur deceives himself," said the man, with a shrug of his shoulders; "he is the last of tho bathers." I expostulated. I raged, I stormed, but all in vain. Tho man only went on shrug ging his shoulders ami itointing to the ma chine. lhad to enter R. Thank heaven, there was a suit of clothes! WUt wus I to do? I couldn't go and make an official com plaint clad only in my tightly fitting com bination suit of blue nnd white, sol ruhbuu myself dry, and put on the clothes as rap idly as possible. They fitted me fairly enough, fortunately, but they were dreauV ful clothes a tweed suit of a particularly largo ana vulgar pattern, a brown billy cock hat, a peculiarly high collar, a blue silk necktie, with yellow footballs on it And then I hastily searched the pockets a clay pipe, a plug of tobacco, 15 francs, and the return half of un excursion ticket from London, available for three days, by the Ueueral Steam Navigation company's boot. A cold crspir.ition broke out uiwn my face. Here was a horrible position. I was to entertain the lady whose life I had saved at breakfast at the Casino upon 15 franca. My luggage and even my handbag were on board the Folkestone mailboat, and 1 was practically penniless, for I had paid mj hotel bill that morning, registered my lug gage for Ixmdon and left my handbag it, charge of the steward, and then I had walked down to the Casino, read the paper while I waited for the tide to rise, meauing 10 nave my nam ana tben come back and breakfast at the Casino, which would have left me a quarter of an hour to get comfort ably on lionrd the malllsiat, which, as I say. left for Folkestone at 1:30. Clad in my hideous garments, I sprang from the bathing; machine anil oajnt at once face to f.ico with the lady whoso liiu 1 bml saved. Her maid was standing by her, carrying her bathing costume iu a net It. one hand and tho little Tyrolese bat in tht other. "You can go, Justine," she said to tho maid carelessly. "I ahull breakfast, aud monsieur will reconduct me." "Out, Mine, la Buronne," replied the maid. My heart almost stood still. She was married, then, and a baroness; hero was an adventure. I felt a pardonable prido when I reflected that I had saved tho life of female member of the French uobility. forgot for the moment thut 1 had lust mv luggage, that I was wearing another man' clothes, and that all the money I had in the world was 15 francs; nnd I ottered my arm to the baroness with a graceful effusion that Louis XI V himself nilidit have envied. We walked slowly uloiigthesuiitls toward the Casino. I gazed Iu my companion's lustrous eyes anu rcutl in those sparkling orbs a world of gratitude. The sand was deep; whether It was the depth of the sand or the intensity of her gratitude I can not tell, but the baroness leaned heavily upon my arm, and 1 miuio violent love to her till we got to the Casino. As we entered it 1 heard three loud whistle from tho mail steamer. Good heavens! they brought me buck to the commonplace at once, and I re membered thut the mnillKiat was actually startlngl I conducted the barauess to a seat; I begged her to excuse me for a single- instant. I rushed on to the platform of the Casino, past which tho mailboat was slowly steam ing at half speed. She wasn't 80 yards olf, and upon the hurricane- (Irak I saw a hide ous young umu, wiih ie,l Lulr, dressed In my clothes.

He evidently recognized his clothes at once and kissed his linger tips at me with cool effrontery. bat could I do? I couldn't stop him. There was nothing else but to grin and bear It. I re-entered the restaurant of the Casino, and I sut down at the little table, facing the baroness as If nothing had happened. In torn penny in for a pound, I thouuht. I had never entertained a baroness before. "What shall we begin with?" I suid. with ferocious calmness. Let us have oysters," suid the baroness. "One can always eat oysters after a sea butb." "Oysters? Monsieur will of course pre fer Ostend oysters? And Chublls monsieur will assuredly drink Chablls?" said the ob sequious waiter. I tapped the 15 francs In mv waistcoat pocket with the air of nil Alexander. Chablis a bottle of the best Chablis." 1 replied somewhat faintly. The bath bad evidently given the baron ess an appetite. She laughed, she showed bcr pretty teeth, and she picked the wing of a chicken with a delicious grace. Then we bad an omelette au rhum, and when the flaming delicacy wus put upon the tanio sue gave a pretty little scream of nf fectcd terror, nnd under the Influence of a bottle of sparkling Moselle I went on Im proving the occasion. betber it wus love or the effects of the Moselle I cannot say, but for the first time in my life I was able to speak the French languuge fluently. I had possessed mvself 01 the baroness' hand; 1 proposed the toast of "Absent friends and those we love," and we were in the act of going through the pretty French ceremony of clinking our glasses together prior to drinking the tonst, when I saw the baroness suddenly turn pale; she dropped her glass, and it wnsshiv nl into a thousand pieces upon tho mar ble noor. she vosa hurriedly. "Henri," she gasped, "who would tu-ve expected you?" "Evidently not my wife," said a deep bass voice. I turned, and I saw an unprepossessing man, excessively well dressed and of fero cious appearance, standing in a Napoleonic attitude behind my chair. I have not the honor of monsieur s ac quaintance," continued the intruder, omin ously grasping his cane. 1 Wlnnilloiia noitniluua in n fnruiim Intnl.

And then the baroness burst 0Ht Into a long account of our adventure of iht. morning, but her husband for he was om. dcntly her husband only made a clucking noise witn ins mouth like an irritated par rot. "Madame," he said as he offered her his arm, "your imagination docs you infinite credit, What could she do, poor thing? She cast one look of hopeless longing und entreaty at me, and the pair left the restaurant. "I will return unon, sir," hissed the baron In a fiendish whisper, to me. Where had I met him before? I distinct ly remembered his face and the dress, too, seemed familiar braided traveling coat, with a hood, inkpot hut, with brim fero ciously turned up; blood and thunder col ored nether garments, a scarlet tie, shiny doois anu wuite gaiters ana a little red r sette in button hole, while a mustache and Imperial completed his noble, senuuiilitury anu altogether truculent appearance. ransacked the dark caverns of my memory, but in vain. And then it suddenly came bock to me. The baron was a horrible mix ture of Mucuri iu "Culled Back," a profes sional murderer, and Chateau Keiiuud in The Corsicnn Brothers," a professional duelist. Drops of cold perspiration burst out upou my massive forehead. Why should I wail for the baron? Just at that moment 1 caught the waiter s eye and also a grin, which suddenly disappeared from his face. and I remembered that flight was. nlasl Im possible, for I hndn't tho wherewithal cvcj to pay my bill. Besides, If I ran away, what woiiui the baroness think of mo? "Uarcon!" I exclaimed in a lordlv man ner, "bring me a cup of block coffee let it no not nnd strong and some Chartreuse- green Chartreuse," I milled, If he bad only brought me the Chartreuse In a glass! But he didn't. The viilian brought a bottle of it Ihere is nothingthat raises the courara so mucii as green i-iianreuse. After the third glass my feelings changed altogether. I would meet the baron. I would lav him dead at my feet, and theu I would entreat the baroness to fly with me. Had she not told me but two short hours ago that there was nothing she could refuse to tho man who had saved her i'fe? I would take her at her word. And then I swallowed nn other glass of Chartreuse nnd waited anx iously tor me onrons arrival. 1 even planned the particular means I would em ploy to kill that jealous French nobleman. and I determined to resort to tho coup do genunrme, as tne challenged party, I should of course have the choice of weai. ons. 1 would choose small swords, nnd the Instant our wea)ns crossed I would have recourse to the celebrated coup. iou don t know what the conn de wn. uurme isr men you nave never seen liarbe Bleu."

I knew that she lay nt the pier within n couple of hundred yams. Uh, If I could only hnv paid my bill! And then two French olllcers in full uni form entered the restaurant. They advanced to my little table ami introduced themselves as the emissaries of the outraged baron, insisted on slinking bauds with both of them, much to their nstonishment. "Gentlemen, ! said, "I am a stranger here a foreigner, a soldier liko yourselves. I am anxious to throw no obstacle, in you wny; will you, then, oblige me by also act ing for mu hi this nll'uir?

A handsomo shaft of Quinoy granlto, 80 foot In height, now marks tno grnvo of Dr. B. F. Stephenson, founder of tho irand Armv of tho Honubllo. at his old nmio In Gulosburcr. Ills- i ilie hnso ot lit nvuuuiiicnt is tho nanio "Stephenson In bas-relief, und in tho front dio are tho Words: "B. F. Stephonson. Founder of tine G. A. R. Born 18J3. Died 1871.'

Ii bjulgo, 011 tho south sido Is a mounted can non nnd accessories, on tho west sldo Is a dovo with an ollvo branch In its mouth, nnd on tho east sido is a picturesque look ing soldier's tent. When Mr. Stephenson died Aug. 80, 1871, at tho ago ot 49 years, his remains were Interred in the Stephenson family Dtiriul plot on Bock creek, but soldiers generally were dissatisfied with tho obscure resting place of the founder of their order, and In 1883 the re mains were disin terred under the auspices of Estill post, No. 71, G A. li., of Peters burg, and were given a more con spicuous resting ttluco In a lfiriro l)lot0' Kround do nnted by tho Roso iiiu cemetery ns- TIIE SIONUMEXT. socilltloll.

Alter tho wur many restricted organiza tions of vetorans, such nstlioSoclotyof tho Army of tho Potomac, were formed, but it was soon seen that what tho veterans ot tho north particularly desired was a na tional organization thut should bo open to all soldiers who had fought under tho stars and stripes. Tho Idea of such an organi zation suggested Itself to Dr. Stephenson and (Jhupluln W. J. Rutledgo of the Four teenth Illinois infantry. They planned many ot tho details of tho proposed order and In March, lson, met nt Springfield, Ills., to nrmngo a ritual. At this meeting tho nanio Grand Army of the Republic was decided upon, and ou April 6, I860, Major Stephenson, assisted by Contain John S. Phelps of the Thirty-second Illi nois infantry, organized at Decatur tho first G. A. K. post. It was culled "'Post 1 of Decatur, district of Macon, department of Illinois." There were only 13 charter members, nnd Major Stephenson was the rst commander of tho department. torn time polities threatened to dis rupt tho Infant order, but the veterans wisely excluded all political questions, and it continued to grow apace until at the present timo the total membership Is about 400,000. Since tho organization of tho or der nearly $3,000,000 havo been expended by the different posts for tho relief of un fortunnto comrades, soldiers' widows and orphans. ' CFRMAN JOURNALISM.
