also with the least efficacy, is the human
voice, notwithstanding the historical fact
that blowing has accomplished nothing
since the days of Jericho. Yet there are
numerous instances where fires have lieen
extinguished through causes connected
with their origin, ami so completely out
side of precedence that they serve as in
stances of the happening of the unex
pected. In this connection we do not
refer to the fires extinguished by auto
matic sprinklers, where the result is
clearly what lias been expected to happen.
Notwithstanding the fact that when a
fire occurs on pro}>erty protected by auto
matic sprinklers, those present a vail ■hem-
selves of all the means of grace in the
shape of the usual fire apparatus at hand,
yet there are numerous instances where
fires have occurred at night or in looms
vacant at the time, where the fact has
been made known only by water per
colating through the floors, or the sound
of the automatic fire alarms, or from the
sprinklers which have already come into
active operation, the fire having called
down means for self extinguishment.
But the instances which we have in
mind are those where the means of ex
tinguishment were not expected,. as in
the well known cathedral building in
Boston, where a fire, caused by sponta
neous ignition in a storeroom, melted the
lead water pipes, and the water issuing
from them extinguished the fire. A sim
ilar instance happened in a building in
Market street, Philadelphia. Some sheet
metal pails were returned by the pur
chaser to a tinsmith in Chester, Pa., with
the complaint that they were not tightly
made. The manufacturer resoldered
them, and in order to test his work filled
them with water and hung them upon
hooks at the ceiling. While the men
were at dinner during the noon hour, a
fire heated the upper part of the room
so that the bails connecting the handles
to the pails became unsoldered, and the
dropping of tne pails of water dashed out
the fire.
Some waste left upon the top of a
steam pump at Watertown, Mass.,
blazed from spontaneous ignition, and
this in turn set fire to the lagging around
the steam cylinders and the feed pipe,
where it melted the soldered attach
ments of a continuous automatic oiler.
The steam from the feed pipe was dis
charged through the small tubes formerly
leading to the oiler, and extinguished the
fire. There have been numerous in
stances of fires which have ceased for
want of air. During the war of the re
bellion attempts were made to burn New
York city, as the result of a conspiracy,
fires being started in ‘several hotels; but
iu order to prevent premature detection
the culprits closed up the rooms so tightly
that the fires were smothered. At a
hotel iu Woonsocket the steam pipes
caused a fire in the spaces in the walls of
the building, which was extinguished for
want of air to support combustion. The
time of the fire is unknown, as its occur
rence was not discovered until sometime
afterward, when in the progress of some
alteration to the building the facts were
made apparent.
It may be interesting to know that
in this instance the steam heating service
was ordinarily used at a pressure of about
four pounds to the square inch during the
coldest weather, and that the safety valve
was so arranged that the pressure could
never exceed ten pounds. A spark of
static electricity proceeding from a belt
ignited leaking gas, and this in turn set
cotton on fire, which operated the automa
tic sprinklers and extinguished it. An at
tempt was made to destroy a block of
new dwellings at Brookline, Mass., before
the buildings were entirely finished.
Some people, alarmed by the smoke
which was seen in each division of the
structure, rushed in to save doors and
portable fixtures, when it was noticed
that the fires did not appear to gain any
headway, and when the smoke had en
tirely died away, it was found that the
incendiary had,placed lighted candles in
sawdust and other inflammable material
in drawers and closets, but with such
limited supplies of air that combustion
could not be supported and the fires be
came smothered. —Engineering.

T1k> Denunciation of 'Noise.
“I can bear tlie heat very well, ’’ said a
student forced to spend a summer in the
city, ‘’but I cannot endure the noise.’
Poleibly ho did not stop to consider that
in making such a declaration, he placed
hiujself in illustrious company. Thoma
Cajiyle ‘ ‘could not abide’ ’ a noise, espe-
ciatjy that of the morning crowing of
coigis. Wallenstein, accustomed as he
wan to the din of battle, had an uncon
querable dread of the harking of dogs,
and even the clatter of the large spurs
fa&ionable in his day. In order to in
sure quiet, he engaged twelve patrols to
make regular circuits about iiis house
night and day.
Neither Julius Csesar nor the philoso
pher, Kant, could tolerate the crowing
of poor chanticleer, who, indeed, seems
to have very few friends among the studi
ous and sensitive. Schopenlumer exceeds
almost all lovers of quiet in the extrava
gance of his denunciation of noise. lie
declares that the amount which a man
can bear with ease is in inverse ratio to
liisjnental power.
“If I hear a dog barking for hours on
the threshold of a house.” be writes, "I
know well enough wliat kind of brains I
may expect from its inhabitants.”—

Tk« Graphic Story a Native Tells of an
Attack oa the Explorer.
The bloodiest and most furious battle
Stanley had with the Congo natives dur
ing his first descent of that river was
with the Ba-Ngala. Everybody has read
his graphic account of that combat, in
which sixty-four canoes loaded with the
fiercest of Congo fighters were precipi
tated into the little band of travelers, and
bad not spears been pitted against In e-
arms Stanley’s party would never have
reached the sea. A while ago Mu&e, one
of the officers of the chief of the Ba-
N!,-ala, gave to Capt. Coquilhat t.ie na
tive version of that memorable day. The
white men on the Congo bring home few
stories that surpass in interest those the
natives tell of the time when the un
known whites first came among them,
and of the commotion these strangers,
with their wonderful trade goods and
their still more astonishing weapons,
everywhere produced.
“We had never seen a white man,”
said Muele, whose tribe, thickly populat
in'’ the river bank for many miles, num
bers over 100,000 people. “We had not
the slightest idea that such beings ex
isted. One day, some dozen moons ago
[it was on Feb. 14, 1877], at the moment
when the sun stood right above our
heads, a flotilla of canoes of a form
we had never seen before, pre
ceded by a canoe of extraor
dinary size, suddenly came into view.
In the swiftest part of the current
they were quietly passing in front of our
villages. We were astonished to see that
the men, even to their heads, were cov
ered with white cloths, and we thought
it very singular, for the richest chiefs we
knew wore only a little rag made of
banana fiber; and a fact that was abso
lutely new to us, and that upset all our
notions of humanity, was the sight of
two white beings, yes, as white as our
pottery clay, who appealed to command
the expedition They seemed to have
about the same form as other men, but
their hair, their eyes and their color were
very strange to us.
‘ ‘We asked one another, Were not these
men envoys from Ibanza, the mysterious
spirit, and why did they so suddenly ap
pear upon our river? Their purpose could
onlv be bad, for suddenly they landed on
an island opposite us, instead of coming
to our shore, as all jieople did whose in
tentions were not hostile. At first, before
we were able to see them distinctly, we
thought they were an expedition from
our enemies of Mobeka. Our alarm
drums sounded, and we crowded to our
canoes, all ready for a fight. But the
clothing of the warrors, the strange form
of their weapons, and the unheard of
aspect of the white men soon undeceived
us. Still, we launched our canoes and
rapidly approached those of the unknown
strangers.
“The older of the two white men had
straight gray hair, and his eyes were the
color of the water. He stood upon bis
canoe and held toward us a red cloth and
some brass wire. We still approached
him, discussing excitedly the meaning of
his strange attitude. The other white
man [Frank Pocock, who was drowned a
few weeks later in the cararacts of the
lower Congo] aimed Ins weapon at us,
and the older man talked to him rapidly
in a language we could not understand.
Those of our friends who were nearest
the strangers thought the actions of the
white men boded us no good, and so they
judged it best at once to fittack these
mysterious whites, who had come from
no one knew where.
Then the battle began, and it was the
most terrible we ever fought. Our spears
fell fast among the enemy and we killed
some. of them, and their bodies lay half
over the sides of their canoes. But. oh,
wliat fetich gave their weapons such won
derful power? Their bullets, made of a
heavy gray metal we had never seen
before, reached us at enormous distances.
Women and old men who were following
the combat from the shore were hit. The
walls of our huts were perforated. Some
goats which were wandering far oiT in
the fields dropped dead of their wounds.
As for us who were on the water, our
stout shields were pierced as though they
had been bananas. Many of us were
killed and wounded and others were
drowned, for the bullets knocked
holes in some of our wooden canoes,
which filled and sank. Stiil we kept
fighting desperately, and we followed the
white beings some distance below our vil
lages. Their band finally escaped us and
raised loud cries of triumph as we ended
the pursuit. We could not understand
what they said.”
Made added that Mata Bulke, the
chief of the Ba-Ngala. exerted every
effort to dissuade iiis ardent people from
approaching the whites, who, he de
clared. could not be human beings. It
was this same chief who, three years ago
tlii^month, wept as lie bade farewell to
Capt. Coquilhat. the founder of the Ba-
Ngala station, who was about to go back
to Europe. “Return soon,” he said, “for
I am old, and I wish to see you again
before I die.” A few days over a year
later Coquilhat was again among tlie Ba-
Ngala, who, with their powerful and
aged chief, are now among the most
faithful and useful friends of the whites.

The Dangers of Chamois Stalking“*Shoot*
ing the Auerhahn.
In reality Alpine sport is considerably
tamer than the passing tourist usually
supposes. Chamois stalking, though the
few who practice it declare it to be the
most exciting of all pastimes, is for the
most part, at least in Austria, left en
tirely to the poachers. The physical ex
ertion it requires, the dangers it involves
and the rarity, or rather the entire want

count for this. Both the chamois and
the roe are driven, but in a way suited
to the character of the country and im
possible on an English estate.
Long before dawn the guests who are
jnuited fo take part in a chamois hunt
assemble at an appointed place. Then
the steep climb into the valley which is
to be the scene of operations begins.
When the proper positions are reached,

chamois are likely to take. All these
ambushes are hidden from the heights
above by rocks or hushes, and they are
always from three to four hundred, usu
ally more than a thousand, feet apart.
When once a sportsman lias been placed
he is expected to remain where lie is as
silently as he can. He must not leave
his post on any account, as this might
not only disturb the drive, but endanger
his own life. At about the same time
as the hunting party leave their
rendezvous a party of drivers accom
panied by dogs start from the other side
of the mountain range. The noise they
make frightens the chamois over the
crest and, if the parties have been i roperly
organized, into the valley, where a
warm welcome has been prepared for
them. Except in very rare cases, those
who are posted above are expected to let
the herd pass before shooting, in order
not to spoil the sport of their friends
below. The huntsmen must, of course,
always be placed so that the wind blows
toward and not from them. Roe are for
the most part shot in a similar way.
though roe stalking is by no means un
usual.
Auerhahn stalking is a far more excit
ing and peculiarly Alpine form of sport,
and it is the favorite recreation of the
emperor of Austria. It is only in the
mating season, roughly speaking in April
and May, that it is permitted. The cock
is generally the most timid and cautious
of birds; but at this season he becomes a
victim of passion, and loses his head—at
least at intervals. At dawn he flies to a
spot which he knows to be frequented by
the hens, perches upon an exposed bough,
so that all the charms of his plumage
may be seen, and begins his nuptial song.
It consists of three distinct parts, with a
short pause between each; and, while
piping it, the cock extends his feathers
and beats upon the bough with Ins
wings. At such times he seems utterly
unconscious of everything that goes
on around him. This is the sportsman’s
opportunity; he has taken Iiis place be
fore dawn near a spot which he knows to
be frequented and concealed himself in
the best cover be can find. As soon as
the bird begins its call, which is techni
cally known as its balz, he springs for
ward to some nearer cover in which he
can lie silently in wait during the first
pause; while the second strain is in pro
gress lie must reach a jxiint near enough
to take good aim. An Alpine sportsman
would no more think of shooting an
Auerhahn in any other way than an
English squire would think of shooting a
fox. In the greater part of the country
the hens are legally protected during the
whole of the year: they have a .peculiar
erv, which some foresters successfully
imitate for the purpose of luring their
mates.—Saturday Review.

Discipline of English Schools.
In any large and highly organized com
munity there must always be a consider
able number of people whose duties or
circumstances are such as to destroy the
character of home as a suitable place for
educational training. In Great Britain,
for instance, military and naval officers,
with Indian, diplomatic and colonial
officials, cannot look forward to having
their children educated under their own
eyes. Men in political life, distracted by
the excitements of their work, and usu
ally migrating from country to town with
the legislative seasons, are scarcely better
off. The preference of the landed pro
prietors of England for living on their
ow.n estates involves educational isola
tion. and makes it necessary that boys
should be sent away for training
Here we have already a very large
body of people for whom the public
school, with its provision for home care,
as well as mental training, is practically
a necessity. A larger question of ex- j
pettier) cy stiil remains. The sons of the j
wealthy very seldom get a fair chance j
for training in their own homes. Lux- |
ury, social distractions, the excessive en
vironment of dependents, all militate
against mental industry and moral tone.
It is this consideration which leads the

school.—George R. Parkin in The Cen-

The Schools of Greece.
There is a visible Greece and an invis

hot bed of propagandism. Education is

A Quaint Old Custom.

Round mountain, Tex., March 29,18S7.
A lady friend of mine has for several years
been troubled with bumps and imples on her,
face and neck, for which she used various^
cosmetics in order to remove theffi and beau
tify a.nd,iniprove her complexion; but these
local applications were only temporary and
left her skin in a worse condition.
I recommended an internal application—
known as Botanic Blood Balm—which I have
been using and sel ing about two years; she
used three bottles and nearly all pimples
have disappeared, her skin is soft and smooth
and her general health much improved. She
expresses herself as well satisfied and can
recommend it to all who are thus affected.

I clieerfullv state the following facts in re
gard to the use of your medicine in my family.
My little son, 14 vears of age, suffered from an
acute attack of rheumatism,caused by undue
exposure and chilling of the blood. I hearu
your remedy highly recommended, and pur
chased a bottle from Moncrief & Bro., Pres
cott, Ark. In about one month, after using
t his bottle he became so much better that I
go* the second bottle, which is now being us
ed and my son is nearly well, and I think by
removing him to a cooler summer climate
(which I will do) and continuing its use, a
perfect- cure will be effected. I consider B.B.
B. a most excellent blood purifier.
