ATHLETES IN DARKEST AFRICA

I noli en.
A line, which could be raised or low
ered at will, was stretched between two
slender trees Btandlng on an Incline. The
athletes had to run up to this and Jump
from a small termite heap a foot In
height. Despite these unfavorable con
ditions, exhibitions were given which
would placo all European efforts In the
shade. The best Jumpers slender, but
splendid figures, with an almost Indian
j profile attained the Incredible height of
olght feet and five Inches, and the young
boys made the relatively no less wonder
ful performance of five feet. -
A number of young Watussl of Ger
man East Africa exhibited their remark
able skill In Javelin throwing. Taking
a run of ten steps, bending backward al
most to tho ground, they hurled their
Javelins up to almost prodigious heights,
and with such Impetus that two ot the
spear shafts broke In the air from the
vibration. It wan the same with the
shooting matches with bow and arrow,
In which the trunk of a banana tree was
used for the butt. Groat strength Is re
quired to bend the bow correctly, and to
draw it to Its fullest extent long years
of practice are necessary.

'kingdom' In Central Africa which Is gov

a prince clothed with absolute and Illim

and no rival sult:ss are allowed. The
people hold him In the greatest awe and
reverence. It Is extremely raro for any
one to venture to thwart his will, for the
sultan is tho owner of the land and all
the stock, oxen, calves, goats, pigs, etc.
The people enjoy the use of them, but
the sultan retains the power of demand
ing at his pleasure the teturn of his
property from his subjects. The popula
tion Is divided Into three classes, the
Watussl, the Wahutu and the Batwa.
The later arrived yet ruling race, the
Watussl, are a tall, well made people,
with an almost Ideal physique. Heights
of from five feet eleven and a half Inches
to seven feet two and a half Inches are
of quite common occurrence, yet the per
fect proportion of their bodies Is In no
wise detracted from. While the shoul
ders aro generally powerfully built, the
waist Is at all times extraordinarily
slender. The hands are elegant and deli
cate In form, the wrists of an almost
feminine grace. Raana's population has

COIN PLANNED AS A SINKER
Swedish Eight-Dollar Piece, Welch
In ir Thlrtr-ona Pounds, a No
lulsmatla Carlo.
One of the largest coins ever struck,
being 23HxlJ inches and weighing thirty
one pounds, has come Into the possession
ot tho American Numlsmatlo society and
Is shown In one of the glass coses In the
main exhibition room. The piece Is ot
copper and lta oolnage value In IKS was
eight Bwedlsh dalers equivalent to about
J6.20 American money. As a curio and
rarity Its value has now multiplied at
least one hundredfold.
In general appearance the coin is a.
rectangular Ingot, with ftvo large, round
stamps punched in it, one In each cor
ner and one in the center. Stamps were
placed in the corners to prevent "clip
ping." Koch corner stamp carries the
Bwedlsh crown in the center and the date,
1CC9. Around the edge Is the Inscription
of Carolus Oustavus X., .the reigning
king. The center stamp states the value
at ti In silver.
The coin was struck In Avesta, Sweden.
While fresh from the mint it fell over
board In the harbor of Riga, Russia, from
which a dredge fished it ten years ago.
It came finally into the ownership ot
Emerson McMUlin, who has presented it
to the Numismatic society.
Coins ot this kind were called "plate
money." Sweden turned them out con
tinuously for 110 years, beginning In 1619,
In the reign of Christina, daughter of
Oustavus Adolphus, In denominations ot
eight, four, two, one and half dater
pieces, ' with pieces of five and three
dalers In one year. The coinage had been
In progress ten years when the speci
men now hero was struck. In 1716 tho
Swedish government melted down Ut
bronxe cannon and made them Into 86,760
plate-money dalers,
Such large pieces of pure copper were
Issued as money In order to find an out
let for the products ot the Swedish cop
per mines without depreciating the value
of the metal. All plate money Is be-,
coming rare. Daler and half daler pieces
aro most often found; twos and fours are
scarce, and the elght-daler pieces are no
longer to be seen In Europe except in
the large museums. New York World.

An inrenlous method of corking bottles
has been Invented which Is applicable to
the bottling of more oxpenslvo liquors.
This latest device comprises the familiar
cork made to standard aires so as to fit
bottles of varying capacity and shapes,
and nrovided with a patent metalllo
double cap. The cork Is driven Into the
hnttln In the usual manner: but. Instead
of a oork.crew, a small key Is used for
lta withdrawal. In the metalllo cap 1 a
small slot for Insertion ot the key, which
Is slightly depressed. This causes the
upper part of tho cap to fly upward by
means of a spring. This movable disk,
which slides upon a substantial though
slendor shaft, sorves a a grip for the
fingers, so that a steady and direct pull
draws the cork without damaging It.
Consequently, when some of the content
of the bottle has been poured out, tho
cork may bo replaced and driven borne.
tho bottle being thus sealed at tightly as
It was originally. To all Intents and pur
poses It Is the application of the Tola
lock used for doors, etc. Tho cork cannot
be drawn without the key, so that tam
pering with tho contents or Improper use
Is Impossible, because the key Is In the
possession of the owner or some respon
sible person. The drawing ot a cork thus
becomes an easy operation, and destruc
tion of the corkscrew Is prevented. Al
though the stopper has been designed
specially for the liquor, wine and spirit
trade, it at the same time completely
solves the vexed question of securing the
safety of bottles containing polsonoUt
liquids, aa a bottle stoppered with thli
new appliance cannot be opened without
the key, and as this Is In safe keeping,
premeditation Is required to obtain the
contents. Chambers' Journal.
