eer who was provokingly annoyed while in
the exercise of his profession by the ludi-
crous bids of a fellow whose sole object
seemed to be to make sport for the buyers,
rather than himself to buy. At length,
enraged beyond endurance, the knight of
the hammer, looking amnia the room for a
champion to avenge his wrongs, fixed his
eyes upon a biped of laugh dimensions, a
very monarch in strength, and cried out:
"Marlow, what shall I give you to put
that fellow out ?"
"Pli take one sovereign."
"Done—done,' you shall have it!"
Assuming the ferocious, knitting his
brows, spreading his nostrils like a lion's,
and putting en the wolf all over his head
and shoulders, old Marlow strode off to the
aggressor, and seizing the terrified wretch
by the collar, said to him in, a whisper that
was heard all over the room
"My good frin, you go out mit me, give
you brae the money."
"Done --done 1" cried the fellow.
"Hurrah—hurrah 1" shouted the audi-
ence.
The auctioneer had the good sense to join
in the laugh, and coolly handed over the
sovereign.

MSIRI'S TRAM DEATa.
The Greatest or Central Alrlean Buten
Killed by at White Man.
A few weeks ago three words of settee -
Vona' import were esbled foe Zanzibar,
They were ; "King Msiri killed." We
now know that a white mita killed bira and
immediately received a fatal wound from
one of the King's attendants. Msiri was
the most powerful of the native rulers of
Central Africa. High hopes had been built
Up= the 'prospect that his great influence
might be secured for civilization. These
aopes svereblasted by his Meer et.reer, and
the white men who heard the shots that,
killed him justify his tragic taking off. Ps
is the first time a white man has killed a
great chief of Central Africa.
.The firstiong description of the cotintry
aud its ruler was written a few years ago
by the Scotch Missionary, Arnot. Msiri
ruled over an enormous extent of country,
wielding absolute power. His country is
rich in copper and gold, and is quite health-
ful, as it lies at a great elevation above the
sea, among the western headwaters of the
Congo, northwest of Lake Bangweolo, A
year and a half ago the Katanga Company
was organized in Belgium to develop the
resources of the new region. The company
Mal received a concession from the Congo
Free State authorizing it to govern Katanga
and to enjoy the profits from the trade aud
industry it developed there. Four expedi-
tions, in quick succession, were sent to the
empire of aisle. The first was led by
Dent. Le Marinol, who, in July, 1891,
maele a treaty with the King by width
Maid recognized the sovereignty of the
Congo Free State. The second, expetlition,
commanded, by A. Del:commune, arrived at
itisiri's capital in October, 1891. The third,
which, under the direction of Capt. Stars,
weut to Katanga, by way of Zanibar and
Lake Tanganyika, reached Meld on Dee.
14 lase The fourth party, tueler Capt.
Bia, amended the Comp and arrived at its
destination on Jan. 80. The stayer of the
King was a member of the S Mira expedition,
Capt. Stairs was six months on the way
from Zanzibar. His expedition. col -masted
of ten white men and 330 porters from Zan.
zibar and Mombasa. Before lte reached
Male's eltief town he beard that a terrible
civil war had been raging in Katange. For
nine months Ifsiri heel been waging war on
the Wasaama, the aboriginal inhabitants of
the countay, who had lived there long be-
fore Maim made the laud his own and in-
troduced many foreign elementa into the
population. Agreat many of the nativea
had fled for their lives beyond reach of the
despot. Scores of villages had been burned,
and as the country was in a elutotie tate
crops were not planted and famine bad re-
sulted. The origin of the war was clue to
the Ring, who, rretending that he had a
complete monopoly of the ivory trade, re-
fueed to permit any of his subjects to hold
a tusk of ivory as hie *Iva property. That
tyrannical measure resulted in revolt,. The
rebels werestrongin numbers, and for a
time nel titer iiide stained decisive advantage.
But the King overpowered lns rebellioue
subjects grattually. When Capt. Stairs ar-
rived Msiri was treating his captives with
the most horrible brutality. Many of the
chide werekilled and their heeds were rats.

of less important individuals showed by

they had felt the wrath of their despotic
ruler. Everybody hated Min except the
soldiers wham he kept around Mm.
Six months before Lieut. La al ar.
inel had left two Belgian officers, with a
small garrison, to occupy a station he had
built not. far from theKing's town. Although
iu the treaty Le Marine], had made with
Mairi the Kine had resognized the sover-
eignty of the Congo Erect State, the Belgian
officers who were left behind were unable
to maintain friendly relations with the Ring,
and they would have been driven from the
country if their station had not been forti-
fied vory strongly, The English missionar-
ies were at the Ring's mercy. Their work
was suspended, and the King referred to
them as his white slaves. When Arnot and
Itis arother missionaries arrived at Katisuga
they were welcomed hospitably by Maim,
and for two years they received from him
the best of treatment. He doubtless regard-
ed them as a probable means of kluging
much Europeen produce and trade to his
country, and accordingly his early attitude
toward the 'whites was very friendly, al-
though he became almost hostile later.
Stairs had his first interview wtth the
King on Dec. 16. alsiri declared that he
would not raise the flag of the Congo Free
State, and repudiated the treaty he had
made with Le 'queue]. He said also that
he would not permit the missionaries to de-
pa't, although they desired to leave the
cotmtry. Three days later Stairs had an-
other talk with him ana endeavored to per-
suade him to raise the flag. Mairi did not
give a decisive answer, seeking to gain time.
Finally Stairs told him that the flag would
be raised whether it pleased him or not.
Msiri then left, the capital and took refuge
in a small village a few miles away, deeliii-
ine to have any tbilig further to do with the
white man. On the morning of Dec. 20
Capt. Stairs decided to compel the King to
come -before him. The situation was very
critical. The supremaey of the whites would
have to be asserted or they would be com-
pelled to withdraw from the country.
Capt. Stairs accordingly sent Cape Bodeen
and the Marquis de Bouchamps, with 115
armed men, to the village where Msiri bad
taken refuge. The little force stopped just
outside the town and a chief appeared to
ask what they desired. They respcnded
that they wished to see aisle and have a
talk with him, and that no harm would be
done to the inhabitants. The chief invited
one of the white men to accompany him
into the town. Capt. Bodson said he would
go, altlsough the Marquis de Bonchamps
told him he would be risking his lifc. The
natives, armed with guns, were seen behind
the palisades. Bodson, however, insisted on
going into the town and having at talk with
leisiri.
A few minutes later the outsiders heard
pistol shots, followed by a general discharge
of firearms. Bonclutmps attacked the town
with his force at once. They were received
with a volley, but they succeeded in getting
within the palisades; where they found Capt.
Bodeen fatally wounded by a bullet through
Itis abdomen. Near him lay Msiri, dead.
Bodson was able to give an account of
what had happened. He said -that he had
been escorted to the palaver place in the
centre of the town. There he found Maki
seated in front ot his house and surrounded
by abont 300 well -armed men. Capt. Bode
son begged Msiri to follow him to Capt.
Stairs's camp for an interview, promising
that no harm should befall. him or any of
his men. Msiri arose, drew his sabre, and
advanced toward Bodson with a mena,eing
gesture. Bodson,believing his life in danger,
discharged his revolver four times at the
King, who fell dead. At the same time one
of the chiefs cif Mine:fired at Bodson, inflict-
ing a mortal wound. The unfortunate
white man lived until he had been taken
hack to Capt. Stairs. When he saw his
leader, he said: " I amabout to die, but I
want you to tell my friends that, I did not
die in vain, thank God, for I heve delivered
this beautiful country and Africa, from one
of the most detesteble of tyraats.' .A, few
minutes later he was dead.
The news of the death of Maid spread
rapidly through the Country, and made a
great, senaation. The people armed them-
eelves and prepared to fight the white men,
Stairs's expedition shut itself up in .canm
and refusel .teermis•ion to any one to enter.
A few days later Stairs began the coestrue-
tion of a furt, not far from the palace of the
bete King. Then he permitted the two
brothers of alsiri to visit him. He told
them thee he was determined to restore
peace and that he would destroy anyone
who warred an his reighbors. He would
not recognize any chief who was unwilling
to do what the white man thought was
necessary to restore peace and prosperity.
1,Vhen the netws of the death of aisle was
printed 17ze San predicted that his empire
would be broken up, and that the Katanga,
cornpauy would divide the comatry and dm -
tribute sections among minor chiefs, 80
that it woule, be almost impossible to organ-
ize a formidable revolt against white rule.
That has been done. Stairs recognized
Mkaada Wantet, the son of Msiri, as the
chief of the capital town and its immediate
surroundings, but limited his control to
that small district. He also fixed limits on
the dominion of other sub-ohiefs through the
couutry and freed a large number of slaves.
He reduced the country to at. fair state of
quiet by the thne Capt. Bia, arrived with
his expedition on Jan. 30. He then left the
work in the batter's hands and deckled to
return to the coast, because the impoverish-
ed land WR$ not able to supply food to the
large force of strengers.
Summed lap briefly, the results of hie ex,
pedition were the raising of the flag of the
Congo Free State over the capital and
through the Country, the killing of aisle

cruel rule, AD ii the signing of twelve treat,s
ies with chiefs wile agreed to recognize

districtu given to him by hia old friend he
began a, series of most successful wars on

First Measurements of the Globe.
Fernel, the French phyaioian, in the year
1587 made the first known attempt to as-
certain the exact size of our globe. His
modus operandi was as follows lie first ob-
served the heiglit of the pole at Paris, and
than travelled north to a point where the
pole was cne degree higher than at the
point ef the first observation. He measured
the distance between the two stetions by
the number of revolutions of one of the
wheels of his carriage, to which an Milk:dor
had been attached. These observations re-
sulted in his declaring the eerth. to be 24,-
40$ Italian miles in circumference.
aleashrements executed more carefully
were -made by Snell, of Holland, and Nor-
wood of England, but it eyespot untal 1669
that Picard, under the auspices of the French
Academy of Sciences, reduced the degree to
anything like a certainty. His plan was to
connect two points by a series of triangles,
thus ascertaining the length of the are of a
meridian intercepted between thein, to com-
pare it with the difference of latitudes found
by makingcelestial observations.
The stations used were Melvoisine, itt
the vicinity of Paris, and Sout don, near
Amiens. While these measurements 'were
being numbs a discussion arose as to the in-
terpretation of them, some affirming tart
they indicated &prolate, others that they
were oblate spheroids. The former figure
may be popularly represented by a lemon,
the latter by an orange. To provewhich
was right. Picard's observations were ex-
tended far to the north and south, one ex-
pedition going to Peru, the other to Lep-
land. The Peruvian expedition worked
nineyears on the problem, the Lapland about
five. The results of the measurements thus
made confirm the theoretical expectations of
the class believing in the oblate or orange
shaped form.
In 1774., about 100 years after *Picard's
celebrated observations, elaskelyne, the
English astronomer, began to agitate the
question of the globe's weight. After many
curious calculations it was decided. to be
about 6,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 tons!

occurring in Hamilton, bat as the news-
papers tbere said nothing about such deaths
or characterized them as resulting from
dysentery, not much alarm was felt here.
About the 'middle of July, however, the dis-
ease was thoroughly establiahed in the city
and an exodus of numbers of its citizens
took place, many of its residents leaving or
sending their families away far a time.

of North street, was taken ill and by night.;

medicalmen united in agreeing that death
resulted from true .A.slatic cholera. The
poor fellow, who had been a great favorite

A Brief Respite.
John Watson, of Guilford, Me., after
yeara of total blindness had his sight in-
stantaneously restored. His joy knew no
hounds, and he roamed about his farm fro
three houra. At the end of that time light
left him as suddenly as it had come, and
the doctor does not look for a restoration.
A Cleveland physician owed a dollar to a
newsboy, which the latter found it difficult
to collect. After some mooths the doctor
moved to the west side of town. The boy
stopped at his office, and left on the slate
this summons. "Call an-- street. W'm.
Smith." The doctor called and discovered
that it was the residence of his little credit-
or, as the bill was presented to him by a
laity friend of the boy. The doctor paid the
