TIic Throne of Thunder
Mungo Mam Lobeb the throne or
place of thunder as the natives call it
the peak of Kameruns as the whites
call it is the highest point on the west
ern side of the African continent The
first view the voyager gets of it who
coming from the northward has been
wasting for weeks along low shores
and up the stagnant rivers fringed
with maiferovo swamp is a thing no
man can er forget Suddenly right
lip out of the sea the great mountain
rises to its 137G0 feet while close at
hand to westward towers the lovely
Island mass of Fernando Po to Its
10190 feet and great as is Its first
charm every time you see it It becomes
greater although it Is never the same
Five times I have been in tho beautiful
bay at its foot and have never seen It
twice alike Sometimes It Is wreathed
with indigo black tornado clouds some
times crested with snow sometimes
standing out hard and clear as though
made of metal and sometimes softly
gorgeous with green gold purple and
pink vapors tinted by the sunset

A Tryinf Reform
A Presbyterian clergyman of New
York with two popular daughters has
discovered a new way to end the vis
its of their beaus at a seemly hour a
plan which might appeal to lay fami
lies as well For a number of years
it has been a custom of this good man
to hold evening worship after supper
always concluding the prayers with a
short discourse Things went very
well until the daughters began to re
ceive the attentions of young men and
begged off or stole away to make their
evening toilets Then the minister
changed the devotional hour until 10
in the evening This reform created
an upheaval but the father insisted
and at the stroke of 10 the visiting
young men are now left one alterna
tiveeither to leave or join with the
family In prayer and it has proved a
severe test of their devotion for the
daughters when those not prayerfully
inclined stick it out sermon and all

The Good Fellow
The treasurer of a church temper
ance society told at a temperance meet
ing a dramatic story
A woman entered the barroom he
said and advanced quietly to her
husband who sat drinking with three
other men She placed a covered dish
on the table and said
Thiukin yed be too busy to come
home to supper Jack Ive fetched it to
you here
And she departed
The man laughed awkwardly He
invited his friends to share the meal
with him Then he removed the cover
from the dish
The dish was empty It contained
a slip of paper that said
I hope you will enjoy your supper
It is the same as your wife and chil
dren have at home Life
Coffee Tea
Coffee tea is the common beverage
of the natives of Java and Sumatra
When required for infusion the coffee
leaves are gathered fresh from the
trees and are dried in a pan over a
slow fire until they are light brown
They are then put into a teapot boiling
water is poured over them and the in
fusion Is drunk with milk and sugar
It seems the general opinion that cof
fee should come in contact with metal
as little as possible The Viennese peo
ple prefer a glass bottle to a canister
for storing and Brazilians use earth
enware In preference to a metal pot
for making
Antelopes Choose the Open
The antelope lives always In open
country unlike members of the deer
family which invariably prefer a
thick dense forest They cannot be
driven into timber cover or thickets
of brush but will literally turn about
and run over a pursuer if necessary
rather than be forced into cover If
they are ever obliged to pass by or
through such places for food and wa
ter they take a great deal of time to
do so as if they were determined to
see everything that could be seen en

hunt and the outdoor life that it brings

NEW WAR AUTO

might be termed horseless gun car

A NEW WAR ATTTO
will be made for use in Russia and
while they may not be needed for a
foreign war at present it can readily
be seen that such death dealimr ve
hicles might be used by the govern
ment to advantage in fighting enemies
at home Those who operate the war
auto are well protected from assault
by the bullet proof plates with which
the carriage is covered These plates
are of steel and they present a strong
resistance to rille balls The car is
equipped with a rapid fire gun which
can be turned in all directions and is
capable of discharging 500 balls a
minute The motor of the car has from
twenty five to thirty horsepower and
the carriage can make a speed of twen
ty miles an hour on the level despite
the weight of its bullet proof plating
