The natives of central Africa are de scribed by the late Sir Henry M. Stan ley In his autobiography as being In credibly stupid. He tells, for exam ple, of one native wbo. with another man, was sent la a canoe across a river (o fetch a company of men to camp. After waiting an hour Stanley went to the river, where be found the wo paddling each In an opposite direc tion and blaming the other for his stu pidity. They were in a passion of ex tltement and quite unable to bear the advice of toe men across t be river, wbo were bawling directions to them bow to manage their canoe.' ' Another stupid fellow was generally saved from punishment because' his mistakes were so absurd. One day we were floating down the Kongo. Near camping time, as he happened to be bow man, I bade him atand by and Kam t a ai II a4 Aisf baIva lha mm An the bank to stop the boat In a Uttle while we came to a fit place, and fHl. -Hold hard. Kirnnao!" - f "Please God. master," he replied and forthwith sprang on shore and seised the grass with both hands while we, of course, were rapidly swept on down stream. .. . The boat's crew roared at the ridicu lous sight. Nevertheless his stupidity cost the tired men s bard pull up river, for not every place was available for 4 camp. ; , . . ICEBOUND ANTARCTICA. Twloe as Large aa All Europe Is tho South Polar Continent. The antarctic continent baa been es timated to bo at least twice as large as Europe. The evidence of paleom tology la to the effect, that Antarctica was ones connected with tho 'more northern lands, at least with South America, and that In prehistoric agtfs some tremendous convulsion of the earth's crust resulted In the sinking of the "submarine" floor, until in some places It Is now 4,000 fathoms, or more than four miles below the sur face. All around the great land mass of this continent there is a deep ocean bed cutting It off from every other land of the earth and setting It apart as a region more unlike the rest of the globe than any other continent or island. i Explorations have proved that lo times before the advent of man upon the earth this moat southern land bad a temperate or eveo a warmer cli mate. There are fossils, both animal and vegetable, which indicate this. The formation of the rocks In Antarc tica also Is of volcanic orlcln and vol canic activity, notubly in the case of Mount Erebus, which is not yet ex tlnot A vast mouutain range, per baps at bne time a continuation of the Andes, exists In Antarctica.

Tho Floating Island 'That Wreck a Ship Saved Its Crew, Carious Indeed was the experience of the crew of the German ablp Hansa with- an Iceberg. The Hansa struck an Ice ialaod In latitude S2 degrees a little before midnight In 'a froealng gale. The impact carried her bow tat op on tho berg and Imbedded It firmly In tho Ice. Her back was broken by the force of the collision and before morning was wrenched away from tho forward part by the battering seas and sank. Wheo the Hansa struck tho boats were lowered, but only one escaped being swamped after pulling away from" the doomed sulp. It was soon found, however. that this boat was leaking and that no amount of balling would keep tt afloat more than a few hours, so the mate In1 command of It made for the berg and succeeded In climbing lip on It to a place of tem porary safety. From the broken m bera of the Hnnna's bow the castaways built a rude shelter. and snared sea birds to eke out the scanty supplies tbejr bad been able to save from the ship. As the Ice Island drifted farther south into wanner waters and began perceptibly to shrink the shipwrecked men were a prey to constant fear that tho melting maas might turn turtle an; time and precipltatetbem all In the If' Jjf 7 Ud ?hPJ? 7 saved them. Also they feared It might "calve" and tho part breaking away from too main bulk might carry them with tt to destruction. Too con stant grinding and -groaning -of the great fco-jaft Oiled tbelr hearts with constant terror, and the deserted seas added to their despair. But the berg held together for eight months, and the Hansa's men traveled TOO miles before they wore finally pick od op la latitude 41 degrees, suffering from frostbite and; hunger, but other wise oo worse foe tbelr long exposure New York Proas. ! WEST POINT CADETS. Their Eduostion Costs the Government About 300 Each. The selection of West Point aa the place for the National Military acade my was doe to Its advantages from a military viewpoint, tor Its ragged beauty and its severe climate were calculated to be beneficial In the foun datlon of that sort of character essential to a successful officer. The academy, was formally opened on July 4, 1802. witb ten cadets and five officer as Instructors. Its success Is said to be due to the administrative ability of General Sylvanus Thayer, who became Its superintenoent in 1817 and served s mirh for sixteen years This officer la known as tbe "father of West rolnf .
