Proposed Settlement of Kilimanjaro.
A German report on the climate and
soil of Kilimanjaro indicates that the
slopes of this mountain—unlike so
large a portion of equatorial Africa-
are well adapted for cultivation by European farmers. The most suitable area is some 500 square miles between
3700 and 7000 feet above sea level, but
several thousand square miles of the
neighboring country may be included
as lit for settlement. The soil, which
has resulted from the weathering of
volcanic rocks and mixture with the
humus from decaying vegetation, is
from 3 to 10 feet deep oh the lower
slopes, and of great natural fertility.
Abundant water is supplied from the
melting snow of the mountain, as well
as from mists and rains that occur f re-
quentlyatn.il times ot the 'year- The,
purity of the water and tho rapid
streams ensure a state of healthfulness
in striking contrast to the uudrainsd and
fever-hauuted marshes at the foot of
the slopes. At a station about 4800
feet above sea level,the highest monthly mean temperature in the fifteen
months ending with December, 1S03,
was 64 deg. P. in December, 1S02, and
the lowest was 5*5 deg. in August, 1S93.
A southwest trade wind blows from
April to October, and a northeast
trade wind from November to March,
while the local winds are modified by a
general up-hill wind during the daytime and a down-hill wind at night.
The common illnesses are much more
frequently due to the cold than to malaria. All European cereals and vegetables may be grown, with the banana,
sorghum and maize in addition.

Blade Gives a Midnight Exhibition of His
Power Over tne Invisible.
"Once," said the real estate man,
"before I fell from grace, I -was a reporter on a paper down in the central
part of the state. There were a good
many spiritualists in the city where I
worked, and I got rather interested in
the belief myself. I had been to numerous seances and seen some things that
puzzled me, and I hailed the coming of
Slade, the great slate writer, with joy.
I thought that he could, if he chose,
clear np a lot of foggy points for me
and either make me a full fledged believer or show me that the whole thing
was a fake,
"Slade came to town, and I got well
acquainted with him. He gave a number of seances, and I attended all of
them. One night I went to the hotel
where he was staying and had a long
talk with him. I didn't get much satisfaction, I am free to confess. Just as I
was about to start for home a very
heavy snowstorm Came up, and Slade
kindly invited me to share his room.
We went to bed about 12 o'clock.
"I confess that I was a trifle scary. I
thought that a man who had the control over tbe spirits that Slade seemed
to possess might have supernatural vis-'
itors at night, and I didn't exactly
relish the programme. However, it waa
very stormy outside, and I concluded
that I wonld rather take the chances of
a visitation from a few spirits, more or
less, than walk a mile through a blizzard. Slade kept talking cheerfully
about all sorts of things until we were
undressed and in bed and the lights had
been put out Then he relapsed into
silence. I turned over on my side and
tried to get to sleep. The room was
quiet as the grave. Suddenly I heard
something strike hang against the wall,
and I sat straight up in bed. One of
my shoes had left its place on the floor
and had been thrown with terrific force
against the wall.
"This was the beginning of a series
of remarkable happenings that lasted
three hours. Every article in the room
was thrown around promiscuously. The
furniture was hanged against the ceiling. The bed, a heavy affair, was picked
up and chucked against the wall with a
jar that nearly threw rae out of it. To
cap it all, something got hold of the
bedclothes and began to pull them off.
I hung on to them with all my strength,
but they were drawn off and thrown in
a heap in the middle of the room. All
this time Slade lay on his back oh' his
side of the bed. He never moved, so far
as I could see, nor did he say a word.
"I didn't sleep mueh that night.
Slade told me that he had the spirits do
these things. I don't know whether he
did or not, but I do know that I wouldn't
spend such another night for a good bit
of money, audi further know that I
cannot explain the phenomena on any
other basis than that something was
doing these things at Slade's behest,"
—Buffalo Express.
firing Big Guns.
"The man who has never been in close
proximity to a 100 ton gun when it is
fired can have little conception of the
noise and vibration," said Lieutenant
John W. Leigh, a retired naval officer.
"Partly hy courtesy and partly by
chance I was on the Thunderer at the
siege of Alexandria some years ago.
Two sets of advice were given me as to
how to act when the big guns were fired.
Old experienced seamen can stand the
shock by raising on their toes the moment the word is given to fire. The majority of people, however, find it necessary in order to preserve their ear drums
from perforation to lie down, resting
most of the weight on their hands and
toes. Even with this precaution the sensation is most unpleasant until one gets
used to it. Even with the comparatively small guns in general use in our navy
the concussion on board a ship when a
shot is fired is very annoying, but the
enormous guns used so generally in European navies are a source of terrible
danger to the crew as well as the
enemy, and I doubt if they could possibly be used in a hand to hand encounter, useful as they are for destroying
distant ports.—St Louis Globe-Democrat
Breach of Promise Suits.
Goldie asks if a young man can sue a
young woman for breach of promise if
while engaged to him she marries another man. Answer: There are a great
many foolish young people in the world,
Goldie, who seem to think that they
can in some way by money compensation make up for unhappiness, sleepless
nights, tears and heartache. Unless
there has been some actual wrong,
breach of promise suits are a very poor
investment. They generally end in a
good deal of scandal and have most unpleasant consequences. If no real wrong
has been sustained, the court would
likely award about a cent damages, and
there would be heavy costs and all parties
made ridiculous. Such suits are best let
alone. Legally a man can sue for breach
of promise as well as a woman, but he
appears very ridiculous when he does
to.—New York Ledger.
New Treatment For Consumption.
The only matter of wide popular interest in the recent medical congress at
Eome was a paper yesterday by Dr. Me-
nella, the Italian delegate, offering a
new treatment for consumption. He af-,
firmed that he had cured 39 cases of
genuine pulmonary tuberculosis by constant inhalation of the essence of mint
and the external use of creosote and the
essence of mint in aa alcoholic solution.
