The Sokos Dr. Livingstone's Gorillas.
In his Last Journals Dr. Livingstone,
while in camp, makes a somewhat extended
entry to give the following interesting ac
count of the sokos which lie saw and heard
of:
Tour gorillas, or sokos, were killed
yesterday, August 24, 18G9; an extensive
grass-burning forced them out of their
usual. haunt, and, coming out on the plain,
they were speared. They often go erect,
but place the hand on the head, as if to
steady the body. When seen thus, the
soko is an ungainly beast. The most
sentimental young lady would not call him
a '"dear," but lie is a bandy-legged, pot
W'llied, low-looking villain, without a
particle of the gentleman in him. Other
animals, especially the antelopes, are grace
ful, and it is pleasant to see them, either
at rest or in motion ; the natives are also
well made, lithe and comely to behold ; but
the soko, if large, would do well to stand
for a picture of the devil, lie takes away
my appetite by his disgusting bestiality of
appearance. His light-yellow face shows
off his ugly whiskers aud faint apology for
a beard ; the forehead, villainously low,
with high ears, is well in the background
of the great dog-mouth ; the teeth are
slightly human, but the canines show the
beast by their large development.. The
hands or rather the fingers, are like those
of the natives. The flesh of the feet is
yellow, and the eagerness with which the
Manvucma devour it lcstves tht iiiitiressimi i
,i t- , .i r . i
that eating sokos was the first stage by
i i . . i , , -til
VtlilUU IUT illlllt'U ill Ul"I!1'J l.lIUILLKllS .
they say the flesh is delicious. The suko
is represented by some to be extremely
knowing, successfully stalking men and
women while at their, work, kidnapping
children and running up trees with them :
he seems amused by the sight of the young
native in his arms, but comes down when
tempted by a bunch of bananas, and, as he j
i MTATuifirni I find f'Minvio lutil
then Jet him 1:0. Anotncr ii:m was hunt-
ing, and missed in his attempt to stab a
soko it seized the spear and broke it, then
grappled with the man, who called to his
companions, "Soko has caught me ;" the
' SOtO bit Oil t He C11US Ot HIS IlUgCl'S aiKi
I'll l I ,1 ...
j escaped unharmed. Jotli nu n are now
' alivfi at liiinb::re.
The soko is so cunning and has such
sharp eyes, that no one can stalk him in
front without being seen ; hence, when shot,
it is always in the back ; when surrounded
by men and nets, he is generally speared
in the back too ; otherwise he is not a very
formidable beast: he is nothing, as com
pared in power of damaging his assailant,
to a leopard or a lion, but is more like a
mau unarmed, for it docs not occur to him
to use his canine teeth, which are long and
formidable. Numbers of them come down
in the forest within a hundred yards cf our
camp, and would be unknown but for giv
ing tongue like fox-hounds : this ' is their
nearest approach to speech. A man hoeing
was stalked by a soko and seized ; he roared
out, but the soko giggled and grinned, and
left him as if he had done it in play. A
child caught by a soko is often abused by
being pinched and scratched and let fall.
The soko kills the leopard occasionally
by seizing both paws and biting them so as
to "disable them ; he then goes up a tree
and groans over his wounds, and sometimes
recovers, while the leopard dies ; at other
times lKth soko and leopard die.' The lion
kills him at ouce, and sometimes tears lib
limbs off, but does not eat him. The soko
eats no flesh ; small bananas are his dainties,
but not maize. His food consists of wild
fruits, which abound : one, stafene, or
Manyuema mumwa, is like large sweet sop
but indifferent in taste and flesh. The
soko brings forth at times twins. A very
large soko was seen by Mohanied's hun
ters sitting picking his nails : they tried
to stalk him but he vanished. Some
Manj-uenia think that their buried dead
rise as sokos, and one was killed with holes
iu his ears, as if he had been a man. He
is very strong, and fears guns, but not
spears : he never catches women.
Sokos collect together, and make a
drumming noise, some say with hollow
trees, then burst forth into loud yells,
which are well imitated by the natives'
embryotie music. If a mau has no spear
lie goes away satisfied ; but if wounded, he
seizes the writ, lops off the fingers, and
spits them out, slaps the cheeks of his
victim, and bites without breaking the skin :
he draws out a spear (but never uses it),
and takes some leaves and stuffs them into
! his wound tc staunch the blood ; he docs I
not wish an encounter with au armed man.
He sees women do him no harm, and never
molests them : a man without a spear is
nearly safe from him. They beat hollow
trees as drums with their hands and scream
as music to it : when men hear them, they
go to the sokos, but sokos never go to men
with hostility. Manyuema say, "Soko is a
man, and nothing bad in him."
They live in communities of about ten,
each having his own female : an intruder
from another camp is beaten off with their
fists and loud yells. If one tries to seize
the female of another, he is caught on the
ground, and all unite in boxing and biting
the offender. A male often carries a child,
especially if they arc passing from one
patch of forest to another over a grassy
space : he then gives it to the mother.
.The Most Deadly Disease.
The most' deadly acute disease from
which the people of the United States are
to-day suffering is pneumonia. There arc
not less than 2,000 cases at this hour in
the city of New York alone. Many are
nearly down "with it who do not suspect it,
and these can bring it on by a single act of
indiscretion. Ten minutes on a street cor
ner in the cold wind ; a glass of brandy or
whiskey ; late hours and exposure at night;
I un evening in a badly ventilated church or

The disease attacks the lungs, but is
not, as generally supposed, a species of hasty

lite ot women, who do not suffer from such
constant changes and such shocks to the
lungs. The best preventive agaiust pneu
monia is to keep the mouth . closed when
going from a hot place to a cold, and
breathe, through the nose. It comes like
a flash of lighting ; there is no preparation
or means of averting it. One may go to
bed healthy, to all appearances, and wake
up with the disease in full blast. , Then it
is simply a question of constitution. Medi
cal skill avails but little, and physicians
pursue but one course to keep the
patient in a warm, eqind temperature ; to
give remedies as much as possible to clear
the lungs, and to seek to keep up the pro
per animal heat. The patient ordinarily
partly loses consciousness on the third da',
and the crisis is reached on the seventh. If
not dead then, there is a small chance of re
covery, and all depends on the strength of
the patient.
Pneumonia is far - more fatal with us
than it was years ago. "We may attribute
the increased mortlity from this disease to
a multitude of causes. Alcohol gives the
disease more victims than all else. Other
causes arc steam heating devices, bad ven
tilation, and tobacco smoke. The devital
ized heat of the steam pipes is most injur
ious to the lungs. The action of the heat
on the iron coils sends off a deleterious gas;
which seriously impairs the lungs, and ren
der the inhalation of cold air arc positively
dangerous. Tobacco smoke dries up the
mucus membrane of the throat and air
passages, and dispels their action. Alcohol
destroys the power of the stomach, and so
lessens vitality that a simple "cold" speed
ily becomes pneumonia. These causes
added to the absurd custom of bundling up
the throat and leaving the feet nearly with
out protection are sufficient to account
for the enormous mortality from this dis
ease. Put away your Concealed Weapons.
Persons who have been in the habit of
carrying pistols, razors, dirk knives, sling
shots and all other descriptions of con
cealed or dangerous weapons, will do well
to leave them at home in the future. The
new law makes it a misdemeanor . to carry
them and, upon conviction, impose a fine
of not less than $500 and an imprisonment
of not more than one year, or either, or
both, at the discretion of the court, for any
person so offending.

The man who was killed in the miners'
attack in Morrison's house, near Ilazlcton,
last Thursday night, was Peter Mundy, a
desperate character.
Hints About Houses.
Under the head of "Kecomendations for
Securing the Ilcatlhiness of Houses," the
Sanitarian reproduces several tables of
select maxims on the subject indicated.
Here are some, for example, for securing
proper ventilation :
Hows of houses should be arranged in
paralled lines, the spaces between the ranks
being left open at the ends. Confined
squares and courts are very unhealthy.
The highest of a house, from the eaves
to the ground, ought never to exceed the
distance to the nearest building in front.
Behind or at the side of every dwelling
house, there should be an open space,
exclusively belonging to it, at least fifteen
feet across, measured in a direction at ri-iht
angles to the house wall."
Back to back houses are unhealthy and
inconvenient, and ought never to be built.
There should be windows to open on
both sides of a house ; where all the win
dows arc on the same side, perfect ventila
tion is impossible.
Every room should have one or more
windows opening into the outer air ; the
window area should not be less than one
tenth of the area of the floor ; thus a room
twelve feet by ten feet should have a window
at least four feet by three feet.
At least half the wiudow should open,
and the opening should always reach to the
top of the window, which ought not to be
more than a foot below the highest part of
the ceiling.
The form of a window frame which opens
by swinging on a horizontal pivot is
recomended in prcferuce to the ordinary
sliding frame, especially for cottages and
other places where the window is of small
size.
Rooms in newly-built houses should not
be less than eight feet high ; attics should
be of this height over at least half their
area.
Air-bricks should be iuscrtcd in the wall
just below the level of each floor, to venti
late the space under the joists.
. Bedrooms that have no fire place should
have an air-brick near the ceiling : it is a
good plan to make this to open by a hollow
architrave above the window, so that the
draught may strike upwards and not down
wards. Where gas is used, a ventitlator and flue
should be placed above the burner to carry
off the burnt air.
In building a house it is recomnded to
leave air flues in the wall near the chimney,
which may easily : be done by building
around quarter pieces, which arc drawn up
as the work proceeds.
Hydrophobia.
The following is sent to the Country
Gcatlcmanhy Mr. J. F. Wilkey, Mt. Had
ford, Exeter, England : The late celebra
ted Veterinary Surgeon, Mr.'Youatt, says
"I have repeatedly been bitten by my most
undoubted patients, and I never have any
fear." (He had been bitten eight times,
and his assistant as often.)' Youatt's re
medy was to allow the common nitrate of
silver to filter into the wound. It decom
poses the saliva, and in doing this destroys
the virus. He says: "The actual cau
tery the caustic potass and excision arc,
in my opinion, unsafe and- liable to fail.
The nitrate of silver chases the poison into
the very capillaries, and neutralizes it.
Since I have known this, I always use it
to any bite of a dog, sound or not, and am
at rest. . .
The poison of hydrophobia remains latent
on an average six weeks, lhe part heals
over, but there is a pimple or wound more
or less irritable. It then becomes painful,
and the germ, whatever it is, ripe for. dis
semination into the system, and then all
hope is gone. Ncverthless, between the
time of the bite and the activity of the
wound previous to dissemination, the ni
trate of silver is a sure preventive ; after
that it is as useless as other means. The
best mode of using the nitrate of silver, is
by introducing it solidly into the would.
If already healed, the cicatrix should be
be rubbed and custicated away entirely.
Cure for Ilhgdi ojihobia, Discovered hy
Dr. Unison. If bitten by a rabid animal, tho
patient to take a vaper bath, 'a la Pusse, for
seven successive days 9 to 134 Fahren
heit. For cure when the disease is decided :
one bath rapidly increased to 70, then slowly
to 140 Fahrenheit. Dr. B. has had eighty
cases, and was successful in all. lie re
commends it also for bites and stings of
poisonous reptiles.
Glanders and hydrophobia are destroyed
by the patient submitted to a vapor or air
bath at 134 Fahrenheit ; or better still,
at 140, at which meat begins to cook, and
vaccine matter is destroyed in three hours. !
Constables' Duties.
The rights of tenants and duties of con
stables arc clearly explained in a recent
case in which the prosecutor alledged that
the defendant had ejected him from his
house. It came out in the evidence that
the constable did not read the writ of pos
session when he went to the prosecutor's
house. In charging the jury the judge
said that constables are a necessity . in the
community, but while the law gives them
great authority, they should hold them to
the strictest execution of their duties. A
man's house is a castle, and it is asking lit
tle to show him by what authority he en
ters the house of any citizen ; and it his
duty to read the writ or warrant by whose
authority he is there. Should a constable
enter the house of any citizen without legal
authority he becomes a trespasser, and the
occupant of that house has the right to use
force to repel such illegal entrance, to
summon assistance and swear out a war
raut against the trespasser. Should, how
ever, an officer of the law go into the re
sidence of a citizen armed with the au
thority of the law, explain properly his
purpose, he is protected by the law, and
any assault or attack upon him is illegal,
and renders its perpetrator liable to pros
ecution. It is a very serious thing for a man
to enter the house of another and, with or
without process of law, put him into the
street. When the law confers such a duty
upon the officer he should exercise it with
care and with no unreasonable amount of
annoyance, f jr it is in cases of this nature
that man- fights and disturbances occur.
He should take care and not exceed the
power delegated to him by law, and endea
vor as closely as possible, to confine him
self within the limits of his authocitv.
PEACHES ON THE PENINSULA.
THE CROP ALL RIGHT SO FAR FROM A
ItELIALE SOURCE.
Our reports on the extent of damage sus
tained by the orchards of Delaware and
Maryland, teleraphed to The Inquirer
immediately- after the frosts of last week,
have brought out conflicting accounts from
various sources. The following however,
may be regarded as authentic, being a state
ment from one of the most intelligent and
reliable gentlemen on the Peninsula, him
self an extensive fruit grower, and a com
petent observer of natural phenomena :
Arlington Farm, Sussex County,
Del., April 27. I regret to learn from
your published reports of the state of crops
in our neighborhood, that we have croakers
here as elscwcre. The damage said to be
inflicted by the freezing weather here last
week is, in my opinion, greatly exaggerated.
All the strawberries that were in full bloom
at that time were killed, but these I estimate
to have been not more than one-tenth part
of the crop, so that we shall still have a
full average yield, provided no further
damage is sustained. The only real harm
done so far is to delay our shipments a
week or so.
In regard to our peaches, I have not
been able to discover more than one bud
or blossom in twenty killed. From present
appearances there is every indication of a
full crop. The trees may possibly be so
injured that the fruit will not form, or, if
formed, will drop off; but of this there is
no certainty, and I prefer to look on the
bright side. The peach trees present as
healthy appearance as at any time before
the cold snap, and cherry, pear and apple
trees have not been hurt at all. .
How to Cross the Street.
If ladies who see a team approaching as
they arc crossing a street will glance to see
whether the driver observes them, and find
ing he docs, will walk along as though
there was no danger whatever, they will be
much more safe than they generally are at
present under such circumstances. Many
ladies get frightened on seeing a team near
them, go ahead a little, dodge back, glance
about them with a luok of extreme bewilder,
nieut, and then make a grand rush, as
likely as not going in the direction they
should not go, the driver of the team
meanwhile reining his horses first to the
right and then to the left, anxious to avoid
inflicting injury, but unable to guess even
where tho lady will jump to next.
Thevlaneaster Uxjwea says that thirty-
six boys of the Secondary schools of that
city have it in contemplation to challenge
the Board of School Directors to a spelling
match. This h a capital idea and should
be cucouraged. Of courso, if the chaL
lengo is tendered it will bo promptly ac
cepted. Such a contest would be as edify
ing as it would be interesting to the audi-
cn-.-e.
Another Important Decision.
We learn from the Ifanisburg Patriot
that the Pennsylvania coal company, the
Delaware, Lackawnua, and Western rail
road company, and the Delaware ai2 Hue?
son canal company, having refused to pay
the tax on anthracite coal, under the act of
1SGS, from the time the new constitution
went into effect, on the 1st of January.
1S74, until the passage of a new tax act iu
conformity with its provisions, April 24,
1874, an appeal has been made to the court
by the state. The companies dispute tho
legality of the tax. on the ground (1) that
the statute of 1S63 was abrogated by the
new state constitution ; and (2) that the
tax upon coal iutended to be exported be
yond the bounds of the state, was such a
regulation of inter state commerce as was.
iu derogation of the constitution of the
United 'States. Judge Pearson decides
both points against the coal companies. He
affirms that the new constitution did not
suspend the operation of the act of IStitt
or any other law necessary and proper to
carry on'the government pending the en
actment by the legislature of'statucs in
conformity with the instrument ; auJ that
the tax levied by the state under the act
of 1SGS being a tax on the property and
business of the corporations is not a tax ou
commerce, but an incidental burden on
commodities, of the same nature as other
taxes which enhance the cost of prod no-,
tion, and therefore not in conflict with tho
constitution of the United States. The
amount of tax in dispute is $18,777,82.
The cases will be taken to the supremo
court.
California and the Fruit Crop.
According to the San Francisco BuUtti
there is every prospect for another good
fruit season iu California, the cherries, jnxir
and peach trees being in full bioisom, aut
the apple trees beginning to bloom. In
the adjoining Territories young orchards
arc coming into bearing, and so the market
to which California has supplied greeu
fruit is becoming abridged. The val-.
leys among the mountains are we-.l stocked
with fruit trees, and ere long fruit will bo
produced in those regions so good and cheap
that it will be difficult for proprietors of
old orchards a hundred miles dtet to
compete for the trada cf the hx-ul markets.
In view of these facts, the DcMttin pre
dicts that tlis times will come when every
farmer will cure his own fruit and store it
away as he does his hay, the drying ap
paratus forming a part of every well regula
ted farm outfit.
