, THE BENTLEY BABY.
In tho summer of 1887 Holman
Bentley, accompanied by his wife and
child, made a steamer Journey on the
Upper Congo, In Africa. Sir Harry
Johnston, in his book entitled "George
Grenfell and tho Congo," recounts the
result of the Journey and the Import
ant part played by the Bentley baby
Tho party went through tho Bolobo
district, which at that time had be
come excessively hostile to Europeans,
The temporary station of the Congo
State had been burned to tho ground
tho chief, Ifakn, was dead, and when
tho steamer Peace, bearing the Bent-
leys, arrived in August, it was rough
ly ordered away. Before sheering off,
however, nn idea occurred to Bentley.
Taking advantage of tho steamer's
halt, his wife and nurse were giving a
bath to the Bentley baby.
As If by accident, the little white
child was held up in view of the angry
nnd excited people. Suddenly a hush
fell on the assembled throng, gradual
ly giving wny to a shout of delighted
surprise.
A few minutes nfterward. In re
sponse to urgent Invitations to come
on shore, tho Bentley baby. In a dainty
white dresB, wbb being paraded
through the town, nursed and dandled
by warrior after warrior, till his
snowy frock was reddened with cam
wood dye or stained with greasy black
marks from those who had stained
their bodies with oil and soot.
Mrs. Bentley was equally an object
of interest and admiration, as sho was
tho first white woman who had ap
peared in thoso regions. Up to that
tlmo the white man had been looked
upon as a sort of unnatural creature,
who was not bred and born like ordi
nary human beings, a eeml-supernat
urnl bolng without a mate. Tho Bent
ley baby practically created the mis
slon station of Bolobo, which bos en
dured ever since.

CHEMISTRY 4,600 YE ASS AGO.
Employed by Cblneae In Care of
Dlaenae The Phlloaophcr'a Stone.
Yu Tung Kwai, a Chinese delegate
to the chemistry congress, read an
interesting paper before a section of
tho assembly yesterday on the chem
ical industry of China. Alchemy, he
said, was known in China at least
2,700 before Christ, and China still oc
cupied an Important position In regard
to the chemical industries of the
world.
The principal object of the. practice
of alchemy 4,600 years ago, he said,
was the cure of disease. Efforts were
also made to evolve a preparation
somewhat analogous to tho philoso
pher's Mone, the result attained being
known as gold pills.
Metallurgical work and dyeing were
known In China from time immemo
rial, while tho processes of making
gunpowder, paper, glass and porcelain
all originated in the same country,
while it is admitted that tho Chinese
ot tho Seventh century had a clear
knowledgo ot oxygen.
"Circumstances in China." Bald the
lecturer, "havo now changed. Since
China has been known for thousands
of years to be an agricultural country
and to possess an enormous wealth of
undeveloped minerals, attention has
naturally been directed to tho studv
of theso two branches of applied
science.
"A board of agriculture and Indus.
tries has been instituted, comnosed of
different bureaus, each bureau manag
ing somo department, Buch as land
surveying, mine surveying, irrigation
work, etc. Having its headquarters In
Pekin, tho affairs of each province aro
controlled directly by provincial exec
utive committees, and shortly, It is
believed, government experimental sta.
tlons will bo established. Also in
the formation of chemical socletiaa
provincial societies havo been formed,
which will constltuto sectional
branches. Agricultural aocletinn tnn
aro being formed in good numbers, and
tho last few years have witnessed th
establishment of 'commercial guilds.'

TALK BIOH OUT OF RICHES.
Critic Ure Crltlclam nn Mail
KTeeilre Weapon of llio Poor.
Everything to-day doponds upon
talking. It is futllo to sentimentalize
about tho vanity of speech or tho bo
lldlty of action, llko poor Carlylo.
There la no action that wo can profit
ably perform toward a millionaire, ex
cept strangling him. If wo can, at
every afternoon tea or society dinner,
say everything that is calculated to
mntrn thn wnalthv neoolo present fool
very uncomfortable, wo shall havo
done all that Is Immediately practic
able and shall not have lived in vain,
G. K. Chesterton says in Hampton'a
Magazine.
Thus, If I wcro an American, I
should turn off every conversation un
til it came Into collision with tho sub
ject of the trusts. If a young lady
began speaking to me and said: "Have
you seen the Velasquez at Vienna?" I
should reply (untruthfully), "Oh, yes
magnificent when he worked In oils
which reminds me that this oil trust
" and so on. If the hoBtess said
with a smile, "Will you carvo tho
duck?" I should answer with unscru
pulous enthusiasm, "Oh, I am quite at
home with tho cold steel; in fact, tho
steel trust, etc." And if at last peo
ple began not to want me at dinner
parties, and timid conversationalists
fell back on the weather. I should
cry, "Have they yet started a sun
trust, a wind trust, or a sea trust?
That Beems to me much healthier
than But you quite under
stand. After I had done this for a year or
two, even the trusts (though, as their
name implies, full of innocent confi
dence) might have begun to suspect
me.
There is indeed another reason why
we must to a great extent rely (for
the present), on speech rather than
action in our dealings with the mon
strosities of modern wealth. Unless
our action is mere lynching (and I
would never deny that there Is some
thing to be said for that), instead of
what one callB political, it will not bo
action against the very rich, but in
their favor. They hold all the han
dles of the political machine; and for
tho purpose of any prompt action they
have only to move the handles. That
the poor could conquer the rich at
last I believe, because I believe In
God and also in man. But that the
rich could conquer the poor by 8:30
to-morrow evening I am quite certain.
The whole press would bellow tho
same tune over a million breakfast
tables.
The servants of the rich would have
run a million errands, the solicitors
and agents of the rich would have
struck a million bargains, before the
ordinary stonebreaker had even found
his pickax. The poor are sure but
Blow.
Add to this that worst and wildest
work of modern science (more blas
phemous than Its denial of God) Its
invention of scientific war. The ser
geant would obey the captain, the sol
dier would obey the sergeant and the
democracy would He dead about the
streets before soldier, sergeant or cap
tain had realized that they were all
obeying a swollen and cynical pawnbroker.
