Excels of Zeal Discouraged by French

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.-*

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

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.—

The Sign to Go!
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.

But Was Finally Persuaded to
Don It Temporarily.
a
In 1901 Representative Cannon was
living at the Coch ran hotel, and the
evening before the inauguration, L.
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

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.
