The West Indian pirates were com-

or freebooters, which some authorities
refuse to trace to “free” and “hooters,”
(or plunderers,) and find its original in

they made a descent in 10110 on the isl¬

medical pamphlets. The writer has taken the
lilK-rty to examine one of these marvelous little
bonks, and finds food for criticism, but before
indulging in it, will give our readers some quo-

African Forests.
The great forest through which Ex¬
plorer Stanley recently passed, which he
estimated to cover 240,000 square miles,
is only a small part of the great African
forest which extends almost unbrokenly
from the west coast, in the Gaboon and
Owowe regions, with a width of several
hundred miles to the great lakes. This
belt of timber, (rending away to the
heart of the continent, is the greatest
forest region in the world. A part of it
strikes south of the Congo at the great
northern bend of that river, and the
country embraced within the big curve
is covered wiih a compact forest, the
towering and wide-spreading trees shut¬
ting out a large part of the sunlight. In
these forests, completely shut out from
the rest of (lie world, live hundreds of
thousands of people who arc almost un¬
known to the tribes living in the Savan¬
na region outside. Scattered through
the big woods, within the Congo bend,
are little communities of Batwa dwarfs,
of whose existence the traveler lias no
inkling until he suddenly comes upon
them. Here also, along the Rankuru
river, are the tree habitations described
by Ur. Wolf, where the natives lived in
huts built among the branches to escape
the liver floods. It was in great clear¬
ings made in these forests that Kund and
Lappenbeck discovered some of the most
notable villages yet found in Africa. It
was his account of these villages that
led Bishop Taylor to choose this part of
Africa as the goal he wished to reach.
La’d year the commercial company which
is investigating the trade resources of the
Congo sent its steamer, the Itoi des Bei¬
ges, up tho Ikatta river into this great
timberland, and the explorers described
the country along the hanks as covered
with an almost impenetrable virgi i for¬

Railroad Signal.
John Carter, of Baltimore, has the
model of a new invention of his. It is
a danger signal for railroad crossings, on
which several patents have been taken
out. It consists of a very novel and ef¬
fective tripping device, placed one mile
from and on either side of the crossing.
The device connects by a lever with a
system of chains and pulleys, which
themselves are connected with an electric
apparatus in a tower by the crossing.
When a train passes over the “trip” an
electric bell is set ringing on top of the
tower, from which a big red flag appears
at the same time. The bell may be beard
from a point two miles distant. At
night a red light takes the place of the
flag. When the train passes over the
trip placed one mile on the other side of
the crossing, the flag or light disappears
and the bell stops ringing. The signal
is arranged to work with double tracks
or more.
