Oil City, Pa. THE ZANZIBARIS. Dsns Stupidity and Amusing Blundtra of the Natives. hi the "Aiitohhujriipliy of Sir Henry M. Stanley" the author says of the colored natives of central Africa: "Good as the majority of Zanzilmrls were, Homo of them were Indeacrlbn lily and for mc most unfortunately dense. One man who from his personal appearance might have been Judged to be among the most intelligent, was after thirty months' experience with his musket unable to understand how it was to be loaded. lie never could rememlier whether he ought to drop the powder or the bullet Into the mus ket llrst. Another time he was sent with n mnn to transport a company of men over n river to enmp. After wait lug nn hour I strode to the bank of the river and found them paddling in opposite directions, each blaming the other fur his stupidity and, being In a pnsiiioti of excitement, unable to hear the advice of men across the river, who were bawling out to them how to manage their canoe. "Another man was so ludicrously stupid that he generally was saved from punishment because his mistakes were so absurd. We were one day floating down I he Kongo, and, it being near camping time, I bade him, as he happened to be bowman on the occa sion, to stand by nud seize the grass on the bank to arrest the boat when I should call out. In a little while we came to n fit place, nnd I cried, 'Hold hard, Kirnugo!' 'Please God, master,' he replied and forthwith sprang on the shore nnd seized the grass with both hands, while we, of course, were rapidly swept down river, leaving him alone aud solitary on the bauk. The boat's crew roared nt the ridiculous sight, but nevertheless his stupidity cost the tired meu n bnid pull to as cend again, for uot every place was available for a camp. "He it was also who on an occasion when we required the branch of a spe cies of nrbutus which overhung the river to be cut away to allow the ca noes to be brought nearer to the bank for safety actually went astride of the branch aud chopped away until he fell Into the water with the branch and lost our ax. He had seated himself on the outer end of the branch." THE SKIPPER'S WHITE LIE. What Happened at Night and What the Passenger Was Told. It was a dirty uiglit. to use a sailor's phrase, aud the talk in one corner of the smoking room drifted to events at sea and the childlike faith that passen ger roposo lu navigators. Said the scientist who had been col lecting 8Hfclmena on u coral reef: "I've oftcu heard men and women say they felt so safe with Captain So? nnd-so, and I've wondered, too, wheth, er their sense of security would still be retained If these favored travelers knew exactly what happened on ship board during a voyage. For my own part, I have more conlldence than ever lu a enptuiu of my acquaintance since I learned that he could tell a white He when It was necessary to calm the fears of n nervous traveler. It so hap pened that .one foggy night 1 was awakened by the sudden stoppage and reversal of the engines. I Jumped out of my bunk, went on deck and was told by the second otlicer that we had had a narrow squeeze. It appeared that we hud nearly run down a schoon er as she silently crossed our bows and disappeared into the haze. "Next morning a woman passenger who sat nt the captain's table asked him whether the engines had been stopped and reversed, and he replied: 'Yes; we sonietlnies do this to test the engineer's watch nnd see f our ma chinery Is In proper order. We do It nt night so ns to create no excitement.' Then he got the woman to describe what she had heard and asked her. 'Did you find much time between tho stopping ami reversing?" " 'No,' she replied. "'Then,' said the skipper, 'that show ed how well everything was working, did It not?' "When I got the skipper's ear I told him confidentially that I didn't think the schooner's engines had worked ns well ns ours, nnd he remorked that It Dijght have been worse. Whether he meant fhe lie or the Incident I didn't Inquire, but suspect It wasn't the lie." New York Post. Knew What She Was Doing.

LAW OF GRAVITY VIOLATED. Conditions Under Which Water Ac tually Flows Upward. "Water seeks Its level" Is nn ex pression heard so frequently ns to be almost trite, nnd yet the law has its exceptions. There are conditions un der which water actually flows up ward and rises above Its source. If a glass tube be dipped Into water the column inside will be above the level of the surrounding surface. Moreover, If a tube of half the diameter be sub stituted the column doubles Its height. The water creeps along the Inside of the tube, owing to the adhesion, nnd forms a cup shaped depression at the top. An explanation Is not difficult. It can bo proved mathematically that If the diameter of a circle be diminished one-half the circumference Is also re duced to that extent, while the area Is one-fourth of Its former value. The circumference of the column of water being reduced one-half. Its contact with the glass, and hence the adhesive force, Is also diminished to that extent, while the cross section, and hence the weight, is decreased to a fourth of what It was before. Therefore the sec ond column can be twice the height of the first without exceeding the lifting power. Remarkable os the underlying prin ciples of this phenomenon undoubtedly nre, nature made use of them long be fore mnn made their discovery. Every tree and flower adds Its testimony. The core of a tree or plant. Instead of being a single open channel, consists of a spongclikc substance containing many miniature tunnels, through which the sap and moisture collected by the roots flow upward in small riv ulets, rising higher and higher In sheer defiance of tho grent law ol gravity St. I.ouls Republic.
