THEIR LAST FEAST Mohammedan Fanatics LOOK FOR IMPORTANT FINOS Archeologists Believed on Verge of Great Discoveries in Districts of Central America. Paid Dearly for “Brain Stew.** Excels of Zeal Discouraged by French Authorities In Northern Senegal in Effective Manner. Booutba is not the seat of Moham- n>e<lai> culture In Africa. Boombs Iles In northern Senegal, behind the west const of Africa, humiliated at the onward strides of Dakkar, a worldly seaport knowing neither re ligion nor shame. And let it be known to all men that the natives In the hinterland nigh unto Booiuba are as the "wee sma' hours of ■'■the mornin'," in blackest darkness: hut seeking the light of a great awakening. Last month, while -the Clontarf, stout shlpplngboatd vessel, now at pier 23. foot of Pacific street, lay to In the roadstead at Dakkar, a wave of revival hit the vicinity of Booiubu, ac cording to tlie assistant engineer. The blacks got religion and the blacklands resounded with the chant of “There is no God but Allah, and Mohammed Is his prophet”—In fervent Senegalese. Now, »he German found the Sene galese a fiercesome soldier. Ou his native jungle trail he is even more so. Ou the warpath went the newly con verted Mohammedans, with fire in one hand and the sword in the other, after the fashion of Saladdin’s host. They were bound to out-Mohammed Mo hammed and great was their zeal. Furthermore, tjiej- were bound on a Jjuest to show their brethren, unbeliev ing dogs on the docks of Dakkar, that a warrior of the jungles could acquire that polish wldcli some say comes only to citizens of the worldly state, dwell- | Ing In n great metropolis. There chanced across their march a ' party of Frenchmen, hunting wild beasts of the field. The Frenchmen were, moreover, unbelieving dogs. The slaughter was wift, pitiless and al most ixiinless. Eleven dead Gauls were laid at the feet of the chief of the Boomha hinterland. “My children,” cried he. in a rolling brogue such as is bandied about In the jungle, "behold these men of culture and little faith. They have the wis dom of them who sit In high places, but they have the faith of the grovel ing Jackal. We have done well to chop off their heads. Now we will do well to acquire their wisdom. Let us have brain stew, made from the brains of the Frenchmen, In whom there was wisdom but little faith.” And so the stew was eaten. About a week later, a dozen of these fierce seekers after a great wlsde-n were gathered In by the French au thorities. And In another week they were sent to another land, far beyond I the clouds, where the houris tread the ; mazes of the heavenly dance and wis dom comes to all men who are true believers. At least, that is the tale as told by the assistant engineer. And thus endeth the quest of the converts ■of the Boomba hinterland, searchers of wisdom In the name of the prophet.-* Brooklyn Eagle. The World's Advancement. Those who, In retrospect, recall the days of the hand sickle may well marvel at the developments which have taken place within their recollection I They have seen, besides the develop ment in agriculture, the Inauguration of almost countless devices and utili ties. They have seen railroads built across the continent, the telegrnph and telephone perfected, great steamship lines established and more latterly the motor car and the airplane utilized in everyday affairs. Until the hand sickle was laid aside it had been used since that time to which the memory of men runneth not to tlie contrary. And yet to them. It may seem the advent of the grain cradle and the crude horse- drawn reaper was but as yesterday. Personified, those homely early devices seem almost like the explorers of the earlier ages who set out upon voyages of discovery with nothing to guide them hut a vision of something grand- er and more beautiful than their eyes had ever beheld.—Exchange. New Discoveries in Crete. Excavations at Knossos, Psaetos and other sites in Crete have not mere ly established the existence of a people whose form of civilization was the earliest In Europe, but have shown much about their daily life, games amusements; their art. religion, writ ing—though hardly yet their language; their physical characteristics, dress ■find the houses they live in. A huge pnlace, as big as Bucking ham palace, has been unearthed at Knossos. It has a drainage system that nn eminent Italian archeologist has described ns “absolutely English." and that certainly anticipates the hy draulic engineering of the Nineteenth century. The men of science engnged in the work estimate the age of their discoveries at four thousand years.— Discoveries. Dehydrated Fish Valuable. Electrical dehydrating plants for fish are promised as a result of recent experiment« In England, which demon strate that it Is possible with the aid of heated nir to accomplish In a brief Time results that now require many ■»lays of air curing, says Popular Me- ■chanlcs Magazine.

Important medical and economical discoveries that will be of great value to the modern life of the peoples of the world are on the verge of being made at the present time in several districts of Central America by Ameri can archeologists. This prophecy was made by Prof. William Gates, president of the Maya society, in an address delivered at the meeting, at Johns Hopkins univedsity, of the Archeological Institute of America, the Philological association and the Maya society. Prof. Gates brought fo^h in his talk the fact that in Centre'''"^lerlca there has recently been di.s«a4s.T-i’l the evidences of an ancient r^5 of peo ple, with a civilization as old and as cultured as that of tlie, ancient Egyp tians. The plans of nn eminent group of American archeologists for further ex ploration of the remains of this ancient race were dwelt on by the speaker. These workers, he declared, hold forth the promise to the Ameri can people of a new region, rich with archeological material, the surface of which has yet only been scratched. Among the most important discover ies expected to be made there are the unearthing of further native medical works, some of which are already In the hands of the Maya society, that will add valuable specific pharma copoeia and medlca knowledge to that society In this coud ry.

White Busbey, now his private secre tary, but at that time correspondent of the Chicago inter Ocean, entered Mr. Cannon’s room at the hotel and found the venerable legislator standing before a mirror and swearing over a plug hat with which he was practlc- Ing. “I tell you I won’t wear the d----- n thing,” ejaculated Uncle Joe explosive ly. "I never wore one In my life and I won’t begin now." "But, Mr. Cannon," suggested Bus bey amiably, "If yon don’t wear It you will attract more attention In the parade than the president, and you don’t want to do flint." “How’s that?” snapped Uncle Joe. “Why,” exclaimed Busbey. “you win be the only man in the carriage thnt won’t be wearing s silk hat, nnd you will be too conspicuous.” At that comment Mlws Cannon, the daughter whose devotion to her father was so well known, entered the room. “Father will wear the hat, Mr. Bus bey,” said Miss Cannon gently. “You needn't worry.” Uncle Joe dutifully wore that hat the next day. He wore It again at the funeral of McKinley. These are said to be the only times In his life be has worn a silk hat.—Washington Letter tn Boston Transcript , I | [ | . | Burning Coal Duet The enterprises of one motorcar manufacturer extend even to the own ership of mines in West Virginia, from which he digs coal for his motor car factory. In the plant at River Rouge, Mich., eight enormous boilers are being In stalled for furnaces which will burn pulverized coal and gas simultaneous ly. This will be accomplished hy fir ing the coal vertically from the lop and Injecting the gas horizontally through the side of the furnace, the coal flame and gas flame uniting at the proper point for greatest efficiency. Theee furnaces will bum 1,000 tons of coal per day. aud from the time the coal leaves the mines In West Vir ginia until its residue Is carried away as ashes. It will nor be touched by hu man hands. All requisite operations will he done mechanically—dumping pulverizing, carrying to hlns, stoking, and even trnnsj>ortation of the ashes In small dummy cars. New Type of Oil-Burner. A recently developed heavy-oll- burning engine of only medium high compression, that is, a seml-Dlesel type, is adapted to uses In oil fields and localities where the water con tains large quantities of gritty sub stances, making It unsafe to inject Into the cylinders, says Popular Me chanics Magazine. The Diesel design is adhered to In the new type with the exception that the excessively high conipt csslon pressures of 400 to .100 pounds to the sqtare Inch are not used. To start the engine, the nier- cury Is brought to a high heat wtfh a blowtorch. After starting, the heat of the compression and combustion maintains the temperature. Mercury Is used, for the reason that It Is a fairly good heat Insulator and keeps the bottom of the chamber hot, and that, though It boils, there Is ho loss, as the vapor condenses on the inside wall of the water-jacketed top of the Igniter and returns to the bottom.
