supposed to have been due to a sub-
marine volcanic upheaval. Lome was
almost entirely isolated from the out-
side world.
What is believed to be ono of the
most powerful wireless stations in
the world was completed in prepara-
tion for the present war a few months
ago, at Atakpafiue, -about 110 miles
from Lome. It is the chief receiving
and distributing centre for the Ger-
man colonies in Africa, and since
messages can be either sent to, or
received from, Nauen, just outside
Berlin, a distance of 3,450 miles, it
was a most important link in Ger-
many's world wide intelligence Ser-
vide.
Atakpame is the terminus of the
railway, but the Germans have built
a good road as far as Sokode about
100 miles to the north, and a large
motor car has been provided to sup-
plement the iron road for further pro-
gress into the foe hunting country
nearer the interior of the continent.
There, however, the inhabitants
are hostile and treacherous, and have
the disturbing habit of taking pot-
shots at the passing traveler with
their poisoned arrows.
In this little -visited part of Togo
are immense quantities of game.
Antelope, leopards, and elephants
abound, and many kinds of birds, in-
cluding the marabou stork, whence
come the greatly -prized marabou fea-
thers. The rivers swarm -with croco-
dile, and there are numbers of hip-
popotami. •
As regards Togo history, this only
extends. -back about ,thirty years, at
which time the Germans first occu-
pied the country, They found it in
possession of many. different tribes,
all hostile to one another, the domin-
ant tribe of the south-central region,
dwelling 'round about which Sokode
now is, being the Tschaudjo.
These people were originally a con-
quering tribe, like the Masai and the
Zulus, and they swept" down from the
north, somewhere about a hundred '
years ago, devastating the country as
they advanced. They came riding on
horses, and as these animals had
never before been seen in Togoland,
the terror they'inspired almost suf-
ficed by itself to ensure the defeat of
the aboriginal owners of the soil.
When the Germans came up from
the south, a motley but brave and
determined rabble, led by a certain
free-lance adventurer named Kerst-
ing, they endured "their first real
-Check at the handsof these wild
horsemen.
Impressed by their fighting quali-
ties, Kersting, following ;in a small
;way the example set by Cortez in
Mexico, and 'by Clive in India, allied
himself with the • uro—or . king—of
the Tschaudjo,\and, aided by him, he
eventually subdued the whole coun-
try and placed 'it under the German
flag. The present uro, an old but
dignified and amiable savage named
Djabo, is the son of the man ,who
fought under Kersting's banner. He
resides at Bafilo, near Sokode, in a
"palace" provided for him by tile Ger-
man Government, who also grant him
a small yearly subsidy.
Although the bulk of the Togo na-
tives are, as has been said, in a con-
dition but little removed from bar-
barism, some of the tribes, ,neverthe-
leise, ehow censidetaltle skill,in handi-
crafts. Thus, at Sassari and Benjali,
in ,the Konkotnbwa, country, iron is

tions.

FORCES OF NATURE,
What They Do In Providing rower
For Maolhinery.
In several int; atone ways the
forces of natpre are now exploited in
order to provitte power for machin•
cry necessary for various human
activities. Such apparatus is ospec'--
ally favored by engineers, for not
only can enormous power be obtain•
ed, but the running expenses are ex•
tremely low. One of the most in.
genious of these inventions is that
which obtains power from the rays
of the sun. The apparatus is at worlt
in Egypt, where it pumps up water
onto high levels in thousands of
gallons.
This novel device consists of a
number of refleating mirrors which
concentrate the rays of the sun onto
a glass -covered trough containing
water. In a short space of time this
water becomes sufficiently heated by
the reflection from the mirrors tc
give off steam, which passes into a
pipe to an engine of the usual steam
variety. When some 30 or 40 of
these heating boxes are boiling water
by means of the sun's boat sufficient
steam is obtained to keep a powerful
pumping engine at work with a min-
imum of expense.
Some idea of the enormous power
which the sun machine conveys to
the engine can be gauged by the fact
that 3,000 gallons of water can be
lifted 40 feet in one minute. In
many ingenious ways water is now
trapped by means of dams, gigantic
reservoirs and great stretches of
piping and converted into power for
various purposes.
Many great waterfalls are now har•
nessed in such a fashion, two of the
most important being the falls of
the Rhine and those of Niagara,
The machinery used to obtain power
from these great products of nature
is somewhat complicated, but, rough-
ly speaking, huge pipes divert tons
of water from the rapids just above
the falls. This trapped water is
then allowed to fall some hundreds
of feet.
Thought He Was Mad.
The late Count de Lesseps was
traveling on one occasion in a French
railway train in a compartment with
two commercial travelers.
"I beg your pardon, sir," said one
of them—"are you not a traveler?"
"Certainly I am," said the count.
"We thought so! What is your
line?"
"Isthmuses."
"Wh-wh-what," asked the puzzled
commercial—"what are they?"
"I am introducing ship canals,"
said De Lesseps gravely.
The commercial travelers feared
that they had fallen in with a lunatic
and were making preparations to es-
cape when the count handed them his
card and put them at their ease.
Lure of the Opera.
The music of operas always has
been: and always will be the lure of
its millions of patrons; the singing,
too, is frequently brilliant and per-
fect, but the presentment of scenes
from life upon the stage where every-
thing, however commonplace and
banal, is sung, however beautifully,
will always sadden the soul by the
very impossibility and inappropriate-
ness of the spectacle. Fat tenors and
sopranos expire in flights of high
notes, choruses express various quite
unnecessary sentiments with what vo-
cal skill they may, and the average
person who likes music and a little
logic, too, is thrown into ecstasies of
wonderment.
Bird's Milk.
"I fed him with bird's milk." This
curious expression was used by the
old Sultan of 'Turkey, while a pris-
oner on his way to Saloniki, with
reference to his brother Mohammed,
his predecessor on the throne. Abdul
Hamid was lamenting his own fate
and telling his captors how little he
deserved it and how kind he had been
to his brother. "I fed him with ••bird's
milk," he said, as if that' were the
greatest kindness he could show.
What is bird's milk? Not the Turk-
ish equivalent of the milk of human
kindness, but a European brand of
condensed milk bearing on the can
a picture of a bird on a nest.
Table Oilcloth Has Many Uses.
Table oilcloth can be utilized for
other purposes than its name indi-
cates. It can be placed on kitchen
and bathroom walls when smooth by
adding a little glue to the paste. It
also makes good lining for a market
basket, which can be used for laun-
dry and other purposes, as it is easily
kept clean. It can be substituted for
artists' canvas, tacking it securely to
a frame. If the wrong side is used
it should first be primed with a coat.
of paint, and if the finished 'side, is,
used treat first with turpentine.
Study It Out.
Here is a highly interesting para-
dox, which may amuse or bewilder,
as the case may be. It is supposed
to have been invented by Socrates:
A. says that all Athenians are liars.
A. Is an Athenian and therefore" a
liar. Therefore his statement that ,
all Athenians are liars is not true,
and consequently all Athenians tell
the truth. A. is an Athenian and
hence tells the truth, wherefore his
statement that all Athenians ate
liars is true. Therefore he is a liar
and his statgment false, and so on.
His illusion.

Most Terrifying Position Is Silence
tinder Fite.
Everyone of us must have won-
dered how he would feel in battle
for the first time, We may get some
idea of how the average man feels
in such circumstances from a study
of the psychology of battle, just pub-
lished in Italy. Lieutenant-Colonel
Mangiarotti, of the 77th Infantry,
carefully examined more than 2,000
soldiers who first faced fire in the
recent war between Italy and Turkey,
and he summat'ize ; their statements
in the Rlvista Militare. He question-
ed them one by one,
Out of 2,000 men 1,700 confessed
that' their most trying moment in
the whole campaign was when they
first heard hostile bullets whistle
about their ears. But almost all of
them said they were much less fright-
ened than they had expected to be,
and that the scare diminished with
each battle.
The average soldier finds the most
terrifying position to be that of
standing motionless in the front
rank, exposed to the enemy's fire
without being able to reply. The
order to advance or to charge with
fixed bayonets is then received as a
release from agony. Movement, even
into greater peril, distracts the mind
and greatly reduces the mental an-
guish.
Soldiers are seriously affected by
the trembling of their superiors. An
officer who shakes in his shoes is a
coward in the eyes of the rank and
file, although the men know that
many military heroes—Henry IV.,
Turenne, ar d Frederick the Great,
for instance—trembled on going into
a fight.
• Colonel Mangiarotti says that of-
ficers must understand this feeling.
This is especially true for lieuten-
ants, for this inquiry reveals the fact
that in battle all officers from cap-
tains upward are non-existent so far
as the corn! ton soldiers are concern-
ed. Thee beep their eyes on their
lieutenar is exclusively. This was
broughtout. when Col. Mangiarotti
asked the 'nen what sentiment rn'-
mated them when the bullets were
falling all around them—was it love
of country, religion, or their oath of
fidelity to their king? "I went
ahead," they replied, almost unani-
mously. "because my lieutenant went
ahead."
It seems that once the battle is on
and the first feeling of terror has
vanished soldiers feel as if set free.
The fever of combat takes possession
of them and they thrrk about
nothing else,—Johannesburg Sunday
Times,
"I heard Mrs. Talky broke her neck
yesterday."
"Yes. She fell out of a second
storey window while trying to see

STRENGTH IN EXCITEMENT.
Either Fear, Rage or Pain Starts the
Adrenal Glands to Work.
Many a person has wondered where
he obtained the strength that enabled
him to undergo some emergency that
called for unusual physical exertion
when under ordinary "onditions he
would be unable to control a tithe or
that strength. It was from the adre-
nal gastritis, two little glands situated
above the kidneys which secrete what
is known as adrenaline and when
stimulated discharge the same into the
blood. The effect of this addition to
the blood is to release sugar from stor-
age in the liver and bring it into the
blood, drive the blood from the ab-
dominal regions into the heart, lungs.
central nervous system and limbs. The
resulting effect is to excite the muscles
to irritability and enable unusual effort
to be made.
Either fear, rage or pain will sup -
illy the stimulus required to set the
adrenal glands into action. When a
muscle is fatigued without any ac-
companying degree of excitement it
may take a couple of hours for it to
recover its normal condition, but if
adrenaline is injected, or if through
excitement the adrenal glands are
stimulated to disctairge and secrete.
the fatigued muscle may regain its
"irritability" in three minutes. The
sugar set free from the liver and cir-
culated in the blood stimulates the
muscles, for sugar is the source of
muscular energy. Fear, rage and pain
are thus given us toy nature as agen-
cies to enable us to use our physical
powers to their fullest extent in the
crisis that produces the excitement —

supposed to have been due to a sub-
marine volcanic upheaval. Lome was
almost entirely isolated from the out-
side world.
What is believed to be ono of the
most powerful wireless stations in
the world was completed in prepara-
tion for the present war a few months
ago, at Atakpafiue, -about 110 miles
from Lome. It is the chief receiving
and distributing centre for the Ger-
man colonies in Africa, and since
messages can be either sent to, or
received from, Nauen, just outside
Berlin, a distance of 3,450 miles, it
was a most important link in Ger-
many's world wide intelligence Ser-
vide.
Atakpame is the terminus of the
railway, but the Germans have built
a good road as far as Sokode about
100 miles to the north, and a large
motor car has been provided to sup-
plement the iron road for further pro-
gress into the foe hunting country
nearer the interior of the continent.
There, however, the inhabitants
are hostile and treacherous, and have
the disturbing habit of taking pot-
shots at the passing traveler with
their poisoned arrows.
In this little -visited part of Togo
are immense quantities of game.
Antelope, leopards, and elephants
abound, and many kinds of birds, in-
cluding the marabou stork, whence
come the greatly -prized marabou fea-
thers. The rivers swarm -with croco-
dile, and there are numbers of hip-
popotami. •
As regards Togo history, this only
extends. -back about ,thirty years, at
which time the Germans first occu-
pied the country, They found it in
possession of many. different tribes,
all hostile to one another, the domin-
ant tribe of the south-central region,
dwelling 'round about which Sokode
now is, being the Tschaudjo.
These people were originally a con-
quering tribe, like the Masai and the
Zulus, and they swept" down from the
north, somewhere about a hundred '
years ago, devastating the country as
they advanced. They came riding on
horses, and as these animals had
never before been seen in Togoland,
the terror they'inspired almost suf-
ficed by itself to ensure the defeat of
the aboriginal owners of the soil.
When the Germans came up from
the south, a motley but brave and
determined rabble, led by a certain
free-lance adventurer named Kerst-
ing, they endured "their first real
-Check at the handsof these wild
horsemen.
Impressed by their fighting quali-
ties, Kersting, following ;in a small
;way the example set by Cortez in
Mexico, and 'by Clive in India, allied
himself with the • uro—or . king—of
the Tschaudjo,\and, aided by him, he
eventually subdued the whole coun-
try and placed 'it under the German
flag. The present uro, an old but
dignified and amiable savage named
Djabo, is the son of the man ,who
fought under Kersting's banner. He
resides at Bafilo, near Sokode, in a
"palace" provided for him by tile Ger-
man Government, who also grant him
a small yearly subsidy.
Although the bulk of the Togo na-
tives are, as has been said, in a con-
dition but little removed from bar-
barism, some of the tribes, ,neverthe-
leise, ehow censidetaltle skill,in handi-

in ,the Konkotnbwa, country, iron is

tions.

FORCES OF NATURE,
What They Do In Providing rower
For Maolhinery.
In several int; atone ways the
forces of natpre are now exploited in
order to provitte power for machin•
cry necessary for various human
activities. Such apparatus is ospec'--
ally favored by engineers, for not
only can enormous power be obtain•
ed, but the running expenses are ex•
tremely low. One of the most in.
genious of these inventions is that
which obtains power from the rays
of the sun. The apparatus is at worlt
in Egypt, where it pumps up water
onto high levels in thousands of
gallons.
This novel device consists of a
number of refleating mirrors which
concentrate the rays of the sun onto
a glass -covered trough containing
water. In a short space of time this
water becomes sufficiently heated by
the reflection from the mirrors tc
give off steam, which passes into a
pipe to an engine of the usual steam
variety. When some 30 or 40 of
these heating boxes are boiling water
by means of the sun's boat sufficient
steam is obtained to keep a powerful
pumping engine at work with a min-
imum of expense.
Some idea of the enormous power
which the sun machine conveys to
the engine can be gauged by the fact
that 3,000 gallons of water can be
lifted 40 feet in one minute. In
many ingenious ways water is now
trapped by means of dams, gigantic
reservoirs and great stretches of
piping and converted into power for
various purposes.
Many great waterfalls are now har•
nessed in such a fashion, two of the
most important being the falls of
the Rhine and those of Niagara,
The machinery used to obtain power
from these great products of nature
is somewhat complicated, but, rough-
ly speaking, huge pipes divert tons
of water from the rapids just above
the falls. This trapped water is
then allowed to fall some hundreds
of feet.
Thought He Was Mad.
The late Count de Lesseps was
traveling on one occasion in a French
railway train in a compartment with
two commercial travelers.
"I beg your pardon, sir," said one
of them—"are you not a traveler?"
"Certainly I am," said the count.
"We thought so! What is your
line?"
"Isthmuses."
"Wh-wh-what," asked the puzzled
commercial—"what are they?"
"I am introducing ship canals,"
said De Lesseps gravely.
The commercial travelers feared
that they had fallen in with a lunatic
and were making preparations to es-
cape when the count handed them his
card and put them at their ease.
Lure of the Opera.
The music of operas always has
been: and always will be the lure of
its millions of patrons; the singing,
too, is frequently brilliant and per-
fect, but the presentment of scenes
from life upon the stage where every-
thing, however commonplace and
banal, is sung, however beautifully,
will always sadden the soul by the
very impossibility and inappropriate-
ness of the spectacle. Fat tenors and
sopranos expire in flights of high
notes, choruses express various quite
unnecessary sentiments with what vo-
cal skill they may, and the average
person who likes music and a little
logic, too, is thrown into ecstasies of
wonderment.
Bird's Milk.
"I fed him with bird's milk." This
curious expression was used by the
old Sultan of 'Turkey, while a pris-
oner on his way to Saloniki, with
reference to his brother Mohammed,
his predecessor on the throne. Abdul
Hamid was lamenting his own fate
and telling his captors how little he
deserved it and how kind he had been
to his brother. "I fed him with ••bird's
milk," he said, as if that' were the
greatest kindness he could show.
What is bird's milk? Not the Turk-
ish equivalent of the milk of human
kindness, but a European brand of
condensed milk bearing on the can
a picture of a bird on a nest.
Table Oilcloth Has Many Uses.
Table oilcloth can be utilized for
other purposes than its name indi-
cates. It can be placed on kitchen
and bathroom walls when smooth by
adding a little glue to the paste. It
also makes good lining for a market
basket, which can be used for laun-
dry and other purposes, as it is easily
kept clean. It can be substituted for
artists' canvas, tacking it securely to
a frame. If the wrong side is used
it should first be primed with a coat.
of paint, and if the finished 'side, is,
used treat first with turpentine.
Study It Out.
Here is a highly interesting para-
dox, which may amuse or bewilder,
as the case may be. It is supposed
to have been invented by Socrates:
A. says that all Athenians are liars.
A. Is an Athenian and therefore" a
liar. Therefore his statement that ,
all Athenians are liars is not true,
and consequently all Athenians tell
the truth. A. is an Athenian and
hence tells the truth, wherefore his
statement that all Athenians ate
liars is true. Therefore he is a liar
and his statgment false, and so on.
His illusion.

Most Terrifying Position Is Silence
tinder Fite.
Everyone of us must have won-
dered how he would feel in battle
for the first time, We may get some
idea of how the average man feels
in such circumstances from a study
of the psychology of battle, just pub-
lished in Italy. Lieutenant-Colonel
Mangiarotti, of the 77th Infantry,
carefully examined more than 2,000
soldiers who first faced fire in the
recent war between Italy and Turkey,
and he summat'ize ; their statements
in the Rlvista Militare. He question-
ed them one by one,
Out of 2,000 men 1,700 confessed
that' their most trying moment in
the whole campaign was when they
first heard hostile bullets whistle
about their ears. But almost all of
them said they were much less fright-
ened than they had expected to be,
and that the scare diminished with
each battle.
The average soldier finds the most
terrifying position to be that of
standing motionless in the front
rank, exposed to the enemy's fire
without being able to reply. The
order to advance or to charge with
fixed bayonets is then received as a
release from agony. Movement, even
into greater peril, distracts the mind
and greatly reduces the mental an-
guish.
Soldiers are seriously affected by
the trembling of their superiors. An
officer who shakes in his shoes is a
coward in the eyes of the rank and
file, although the men know that
many military heroes—Henry IV.,
Turenne, ar d Frederick the Great,
for instance—trembled on going into
a fight.
• Colonel Mangiarotti says that of-
ficers must understand this feeling.
This is especially true for lieuten-
ants, for this inquiry reveals the fact
that in battle all officers from cap-
tains upward are non-existent so far
as the corn! ton soldiers are concern-
ed. Thee beep their eyes on their
lieutenar is exclusively. This was
broughtout. when Col. Mangiarotti
asked the 'nen what sentiment rn'-
mated them when the bullets were
falling all around them—was it love
of country, religion, or their oath of
fidelity to their king? "I went
ahead," they replied, almost unani-
mously. "because my lieutenant went
ahead."
It seems that once the battle is on
and the first feeling of terror has
vanished soldiers feel as if set free.
The fever of combat takes possession
of them and they thrrk about
nothing else,—Johannesburg Sunday
Times,
"I heard Mrs. Talky broke her neck
yesterday."
"Yes. She fell out of a second
storey window while trying to see
what kind of furniture the new ten-

STRENGTH IN EXCITEMENT.
Either Fear, Rage or Pain Starts the
Adrenal Glands to Work.
Many a person has wondered where
he obtained the strength that enabled
him to undergo some emergency that
called for unusual physical exertion
when under ordinary "onditions he
would be unable to control a tithe or
that strength. It was from the adre-
nal gastritis, two little glands situated
above the kidneys which secrete what
is known as adrenaline and when
stimulated discharge the same into the
blood. The effect of this addition to
the blood is to release sugar from stor-
age in the liver and bring it into the
blood, drive the blood from the ab-
dominal regions into the heart, lungs.
central nervous system and limbs. The
resulting effect is to excite the muscles
to irritability and enable unusual effort
to be made.
Either fear, rage or pain will sup -
illy the stimulus required to set the
adrenal glands into action. When a
muscle is fatigued without any ac-
companying degree of excitement it
may take a couple of hours for it to
recover its normal condition, but if
adrenaline is injected, or if through
excitement the adrenal glands are
stimulated to disctairge and secrete.
the fatigued muscle may regain its
"irritability" in three minutes. The
sugar set free from the liver and cir-
culated in the blood stimulates the
muscles, for sugar is the source of
muscular energy. Fear, rage and pain
are thus given us toy nature as agen-
cies to enable us to use our physical
powers to their fullest extent in the
crisis that produces the excitement —
