XQUEKR AFRICAN CITY. DIFFICULTY OF ENTERING TANGIERS AND WHAT ONE MAY SEE. Prcttldeut Oilman, of Johns Hopkins t'ul ▼craity, Visits Hit African Town Where the Life Is That of the Old Testament and the Arabian Mchts. What is there to see in Tangier, and why do American tourists, after "the run through Spain," think it quite essen tial to visit, the Barbary coast? I can an swer for one party. A sagacious friend who recently went from the Straits of Gibraltar to the Bosphorus said to us be fore we left home; "You will see noth ing more purely oriental than Tangier in all your proposed journey." Certainly we have found the place so completely foreign to all our ideas that only the old fashioned word "outlandish" seems ade quate to describe it Hero is the most western of all the sea ports of northern Africa lying within sight of the coast of Spain and the Rock of Gibraltar, a place of 16,000 inhabit ants, upon whose ways of life and thought European Christian civilization has scarcely made an impression. Yet more than 200 years ago this city for a short period belonged to the English crown. It is now the residence of those foreign ministers who are accredited to the sul tan of Morocco. It is in almost daily communication with France, Spain and Gibraltar, both England and Spain main taining postofiices, witli separate bureaus, stamps and mail bags. There are news papers published here in English and Spanish. The Hotel Continental is so good that there is a current mot to the effect that the l>est hotel in Europe may be found in Africa HAKI> TO LAND The English come "for sport," the par ticular attraction being the chase of wild boar, for the which a manual of "hog sticking" has been elaborately set foath. Yet, notwithstanding all this the Moors and the Jews goon in their old fashioned ways as if they were living in the Fif teenth century Indeed, it is easy to be lieve that we see in Tangier much of the same sort of life which prevailed in southern Spain 400 years ago—before the conquest of Granada—with one impor tant qualification: Tangier has nothing which suggests the learning, the science, the arts, or even the sacredness of the great cities of Andalusia when Moorish sway was dominant The Arabic or Mo hammedan dominion, without the Arabic enlightenment, loses all the charm which is suggesteil by what is even now to be seen in Cordova, Granada and Seville. The transit to Tangier is easily made in eight hours from Cadiz, in four hours from (iibraltar, in twelve hours from Malaga, and the traveler may have his choice among many competing steamers of different sizes and different disadvan tages The transit over, a landing must be made The beach slopes so gradually that large vessels cannot come near the shore, and people, cattle, baggage and goods must all be transferred to lighters and rowboats and thus brought to land. In rough weather the steamer will some times lie for hours without being able to disembark its cargo, and one company of travelers whom we met returned to Spain without putting foot upon the shore of Africa. When a is rough, but not so rough, passengers are carried ashore in the arms of stalwart Moors, or perhaps ride pa poose fashion Fortunately these de scendants of the pirates who used to in fest the Morocco coasts are capital boatmen with strong arms and legs, so that they may be safely trusted Now perplexities arise wlien the shores are reached In till Tatigiers Ido not think there is a wheeled vehicle— not a gig. u dray or even a wheelbarrow So a gang of porters seizes a traveler's trunks, handbags, shawl straps and um brellas, and transports them up the nar row and sinuous lanes which lead to the hotel. As 1 looked from the rowbout to the top of the landing stairs 1 noticed in the crowd, which was dressed in all the col ors of the rainbow and in all the varie ties of eastern fabrics, a tall, dark faced Moor, with a capacious turban, a broad, blue (lowing robe and a stout staff, end ing in a pastoral crook. "I aui Mi .lam med," he called out, pointing to hisheurt either to confirm his identity or his ve racity, 1 cannot say which. "The man I aiu looking for," was my answer. From that hour until our departure Moham med took charge of us. We did not en gage him, but he engaged us. His tread was as dignified and steady as that of Salvini when he personates Othello. His shoulders were broad enougii for a Sam son. His voice was deep, rich and mu sical, like that of Cari Formes. When be was mounted ou his favorite inule, leading our cavalcade through the mar ket place, or halting before the suake charmer, or climbing "the mountain," where foreigners have their houses, he was quite magnificent. SIGHTS IN THE CITY. The architecture of Tangier is much more impressive when seen in mass than when seen in detail. Looking toward the city from the steamer in the early dawn the view was beautiful. Terrace above terrace rise white, flat roofed houses, over which tower the minarets of two or three mosques. The city is divided into two parts, through which runs the prin cipal street, leading from the "water gate" to the "market gate." Upon the western or highest aeciivity is the karbat or citadel—a combination of residence, fortress, court of justice and prison—a forlorn and unattractive Alhambra. The shops, the bazars, the dwelling houses are interesting because so completely different from those to which Europeans are wonted. So is the boys' school that was "kept" just opposite the door of the Hotel Continental. Twenty bright eyed little fellows, seated on the ground, were taught by an old man in turban and spectacles to repeat over and over again verses from the (Koran in a sing-song tone, while cards with the words in Ara bio were held in their hands. Solomon's precept# respecting the util ity of the rod were not forgotten by the turbaned pedagogue. He plied the stick gently but firmly on the backs of the in attentive scholars, precisely as in south ern Spain the sellers of Christmas tur keys drive their bipeds from door to door in search of a purchaser. If the buildings of Tangier are not pleasing, the landscape is most reward ing. The beautiful curve of the bay, the wide view of the ocean, the near hills of gentle acclivity intersected bv pleasant valleys, the foliage green in winter, and including such sub-tropical plants as palms, cactus, aloes, eucalyptus, pepper trees, oranges and lemons—all this was charming. In the distance on the Euro pean coast wecould see Trafalgar, where Nelson fought and died; Tarifa. a name associated with most unpleasant "du ties," and Gibraltar, with its command ing fortress. Here run the straits which unite the sea to the ocean, and here are the pillars ol' Hercules, which always have been and always will he landmarks to the traveler and the merchant. —D. C. Oilman in Baltimore Sun. Wlijr IK)ch the Earth Ouakf? The earthquake theory which seems most probable, and the one which has the most adherents, is the one which tells us that the "quake" is caused by an ef fort of internal heat to make its escape through a weak part of the surrounding earth crust. How thick the earth's crust is would be a hard matter to find out for a certainty. The German government is now at work upon a shaft (if it has not been recently abandoned), near Schlade bach, with the object especially of ob taining trustworthy data concerning the rate of increase in the earth's tempera ture as it nears the interior. The last statement the writer read concerning this shaft said that it was at that time 1,392 meters in depth. The temperature was about 48 degs. centigrade, equal to about 120 Fahrenheit. If it increases uniformly as the depth increases, as it has heretofore, the boiling point of water will be reached at about 8,000 meters (providing the shaft could be sunk to that depth), which is equal to about two miles. At this rate of increase the point at which platinum melts would he found to be at a depth of forty-five miles. According to these figures the earth's crust cannot he more than one-ninetieth of its radius. Professor Newcotnb, connected with the naval observatory at Washington, said at the time of the August earth quake in 1884: "The only common sense explanation of an earthquake, to my mind, is that down in the trowels of the earth, say from 20 to 100 miles beneath the surface, there is iluid matter, boiling at a white heal, which as it gradually becomes cooled, contracts, leaving a space between it and the solid parts, and the heavy weight of the earth above the vacant place causes the earth to sink, then you have your earthquake."—St. Louis Republic. A Monkey'* Weakness for Sw-et*. One of the attractions at a church fair recently held in this city was a lottery conducted on a small scale. Ten per sons contributed leu cents each. Each subscriber drew a slip of paper from a hat. The slips were numbered from one to ten The papers were then placed in another hat, and a monkey was allowed to pick one out. The person who at (he first drawing had obtained the slip select ed by the monkey was entitled to ninety cents, ten cents going to the fair fund. After each drawing by the monkey the slips were destroyed. One night a young man won over S2O at this little game of chance Nearly every lime the monkey drew the slip this young man was select ed at the first drawing. Those present marveled at the young man's luck, and but for an accident they never would have ascribed his winnings to any cause hut good fortune. Every slip of pu|>er the young man drew he rubbed with a piece of lump sugar. Of course the monkey's weakness for sweets led hiui to pick out the sugared slip. The young man dropped the piece of sugar while he was rubbing it on a slip, and tlu-n his smart little game was discovered.—New York Press Tlie >lmli us Sovereign. As a ruler the shall possesses many ex cellent qualities. Firm, fairly just and diligent, lie is in his own pereon the sole arbiter of Persia's fortunes. All policy emanates from liiin. He supervises every department with u curiosity that requires to be allayed by periodical gratuities, and his attention to affairs of state is constant and unremitting. There is a consensus of opinion in Persia that lie is the ablest man in tiie country and the best ruler that it could produce. Nor will any one deny him the possession of patriotism and of a genuine interest in the welfare of the nation. He is, however, placed in a most unfortunate situation by the rivalry of Great Britain and Russia, while he is further impeded by the in triguers that swarm about the court and person of the monarch, by a tendency natural to humanity and particularly to a man who lias passed the middle of life, to let things abide in his time, and by a sense of powerlessness against the petri fied ideas and prejudices of an oriental people.—Chicago Herald. Hypnotism. Hypnotism literally means a condition resembling sleep, artificially produced; that is, not by drugs, but by the mag netic (?) eifectof one mind upon another. That condition of mind, however, to which you doubtless refer as '"hypnot ism" is i different condition entirely. It is not connected with sleep at all, but could bo defined to be tiiat condition of mind in one person (called the subject) set up by the attractive or impulsive power of one or more minds, and in which the subject, by the power of "sug gestion," is mado to obey the behests or commands of bis operator or operators. This power can be exerted at a distance, and the operator need not be known to the subject. The operator is not legally responsible for the acts of his subject, not being personally concerned.—An swers in Herald of Health. HOW HEADS ARE CUT OFF. Oik* of the Conjurer's Moet Startling Triclu Easily Explained. For a number of years the masterpieces of some conjurers have been the cutting off of heads. The most cmnmon one, per haps, is that where a countryman with "a sot'tor buzzing" in his head has it cured by cutting off the offending mem ber. The subject takes a seat in a high back, upholstered chair. The long back of the chair is thickly padded and has two silk cords running crosswise on it, one from the inner edge of either arm up to the top corner of the opposite side, thus making a broad X. The subject being seated in a chair, a large helmet or "receiver" is placed on his head. This helmet is made of any bright metal, lias a vizor in front, and is open at the back. After it is placed over his head the vizor is lifted to show that the head is there, but in reality a dum my head is seen, made up to represent the subject. As the performer closes the vizor lie tilts the helmet forward a little, while the subject at the same moment draws iiis head out of it and presses it against the back of the chair, which gives way under the pressure and a tri angular space opens, the two sides of which are formed by the lower portion of the X in the padding, the base being on a line with the chair arm, where this swinging portion of the back is hinged on. On this flap, the opening of which is concealed by the receiver and a towel placed in front of it to hide the blood (?), rests the head of the subject. The receiver is now removed and placed on a small cabinet, the towel being left at the neck of the subject in the chair. In a moment the receiver is taken from the top of the cabinet, and the head is seen resting there; it moves and speaks and is tiie head of another person made up to represent the first one, and who sits behind the mirror in the cabinet and pops his head up through a hole in the top of it as soon as the re ceiver is placed there. This cabinet is shaped like a safe, and contains several apparently deep shelves. In reality the shelves are shallow, a mirror of proper size being placed in it in such a position as to leave about four-fifths of the cabi net vacant. The very latest decapitation is one now used by Herrmann. The stage is pecul iarly set, the interior, from the first to the third groove, being completely hung in black velvet or felt, back, top and sides. In place of the ordinary foot lights a row of gas jets is usually placed across the stago just oil a line with the inside of the boxes, and another row carried around but outside of the arched entrance to the black chamber. The effect of this arrangement of light and shadow throws the stage into impen etrable gloom. Herrmann appears sud denly clothed in white Then Mephisto pheles appears so suddenly that it seems as if he had jumped out of space, but really coming through an opening in the black cloth. Then comes a light eloak and a pretty woman in evening dress. This latter first wraps herself in a black domino of the same material its the stage hangings, leaving her arms and head free. Over this she now slips a framework of light wire, covered with a tine evening dress. This framework has no back, and she can slip out from it behind, leaving the shell with dress. For the lady to sit on, two pedestals suddenly appear. These are white, and appear by having a cover of black pulled from them quickly. One of these is about two feet high and the other about five feet high. The lady sits on the smaller one, and Mephisto orders Herr mann to cut her head off. After some demurring he finally seizes a carving knife, places a light cloak over the lady's shoulders and cuts off her head. Taking it with one baud under the chin and the other holding her hair, he carries it across the stage and places it on the other pedestal, she walking along with him, having slipped out behind the framework, leaving it upright on the small pedestal. She walks across the stage in her black domino or behind a black screen should** high, only her bead showing, and finally stopping with her head on the pedestal that is about five feet high. To replace, the same gliding back is again employed, and she again resumes her dress case and the trick is over.—New York News. A Bridge Over the Botphoriid. The most recent proposal for a huge bridge is for one across the Itosphorus, a project for which has been made out by a French engineering company. The historic and picturesque channel between the shores of Europe and Asia, which connects the sea of Marmora with the Euxine, is 872 yards broad, and it is pro posed thus the bridge to span it should be of one arch only. In these days of huge bridges this should not offer seri ous difficulties from an engineering point of view, if the financial ones can be got over. Various projects have been put forward to the same effect during the past twenty years, but it was not consid ered that the bridge would be useful enough to justify the enormous expense which it would entail. Railways have, however, developed very much during recent years, and it is now thought that, if constructed, it would act as a link in the local railway system, and eventually pay a fair return on the money invested in it.—Toronto Globe. (;*M for Air I'uriflcatiou. Gas jets may be made important aux iliaries to ventilation. Inserted in the bottom of air shafts, they establish active currents which withdraw the vitiated air. A cubic foot of illuminating gas can be utilized so as to cause the dis charge of 1,000 cubic feet of air, and a common gas burner will consume nearly three feet of gas an hour, so that the quantity of contaminated air that would be extracted from an apartment during that time would be 3,000 feet. By suit able contrivances gas lights, the effects of which are but too often pernicious, may not only become 6< f ventilating, but may be also made to contribute ma terially to the purification of the air of inhabited apartments.—New York Tele gram. | WILLS OF MILLIONAIRES. ONLY A FEW OF THEM HAVE ES CAPED BEING CONTESTED. llvlntive* Are Almost Invariably Dlssatis | lied ttiol Try to Get a Share ol | the Money of the Dead Some Canes | Taken from New York Records. Within the last dozen years very few wills made by wealthy people dying in New York city have been left uncon tested. There are, however, two shining examples where the bequests of the dead millionaires have been carried out. One was the case of William H. Vanderbilt and the other that of Miss Catherine L. Wolfe. Vanderbilt had the experience which he had gathered years before in the great fight which was made over his own father's will, and which brought the Vanderbilt family and its early history so conspicuously into public notice. Miss Wolfe was happy in the fact that the wealth already enjoyed by her legal heirs made the alienation of her millions a matter of comparatively small mo ment. She, however, like Mr. Vander bilt, spared no pains to make the terms of her testamentary instrument so brass bound and iron clad that a contest before the surrogate would prove unremunera tive. When Surrogate Rollins retired from office the statement of the business done during his incumbency showed that nearly 400 wills had been the subjects of contest before him, many of which had entailed long and expensive litigation, and had in some instances almost beg gared the estate. One of the great and controlling causes which tend toward the contesting of wills is the provision in the laws of this state whicli assures to the lawyers in the case large fees and allowances and pay tlieni out of t ho prop erty whether they win or lose. SAMUEL J. TILDE.N'S GREAT BEQUEST. It is a fact that very few persons of largo wealth succeed in disposing of their property bv will in a manner that meets the requirements of the laws, or that will stand the keen scrutiny of the legal advisers of dissatisfied relatives. It is true that most of the contests made, especially by the heirs of wealthy men mil women, are based upon the flimsiest pretexts, and solely with tho hope that grabbing for the whole or the greater part they may secure for themselves a few thousands by compromise. That the causes for contest are usually of a char acter which unfits them for close judicial consideration is tnado evident from the fact iliatof the4oocontests begun before Surrogate Rollins scarcely 00 were sus tained. Enterprising lawyers laugh at men and women who sit down and, in words de void of legal technicalities, write their own wills in their own way. Vet the records show that this sort of will is the very hardest to break. The lawyers theui-i Ivor, are not infallible in will making—not own the greatest of (hem. In his long and successful career as a business lawyer, Samuel J. Tilden drew the wills of scores of his clients, and it is not on record that any of them ever was upset. When he was to make his own lie cnlli d to his assistance a counselor no less eminent than himself —Mr. James C. Garter Together they prepared the document, which, besides other provi sions, was to provide si,<)oo.oo(> abso lutely for the endowment of a great free library. Well, tlie case will in all prob ability furnish the most conspicuous ex ample of failure to carry out one's inten tions. OTHER FAMOUS RECENT CONTESTS. When James Stokes died a few years ago he leil an estate euiinnled to be worth at least $10,000,000. He was scarcely in his grave when the light over the property began, and it went on with wearisome details for months. By and by there was mi adjournment, and the matter was substantially settled out of court. The'lawyers must have had a good million amongst them after the hat tie was ended. Jesse I he. I hud gathered u big fortune before lie himself was gathered to his fathers. lie died worth about $12,000,- 000, and the monument that was to mark his resting place was unbuilt for years, as the heirs were too busy contesting the provisions of his will, and trying, each of them, to get a bigger share of the money than the dead innn had decided they should have. Iyoitis Hanmiersley's $3,000,000 and the way iu which iie left it by will was an other fruitful source for litigation. The legal twists and tumbles that character ize the ease made it one of the most in teresting on record, and the end is not yet. Every now and then his widow-, at present the Duchess of Marlborough, ap plies to the courts for more money out of the estate, and though site sometimes receives what she asks, she is occasion ally refused. There was Mrs. Sarah Burr, who, when she departed from earthly realms, was obliged to leave all of her $5,000,000 behind iier. She doubtless thought she had lixed everything id her will so that no contest could arise, yet the grass was not green on her grave before a crowd of her friends and relatives were fighting over her property. In this case, as in nearly all the others, the testimony de veloped stories about tho inner family life of tho dead that the world would never have heard and never have laughed over but for the fight over the millions. —New York News.

Wlirre file Nickel Come* From. In the Copper Cliff mine, near Sud bury, Canada, it is said tuorc nickel is being produced than the entire market of the world calls for at current prices. A little branch off the main line of the Canndian Pacific railway, four miles in length, lends out to the mine, which opens into the face of a crag of the brown, oxidized Laurentian rock, characteristic of this region. The miners are now at work at a depth of about 300 feet below the surface. As fast as the nickel and copper bearing rock is hoisted out, it is broken up and piled upon long beds, or ricks, of pine wood, to be calcined or roasted, for the purpose of driving out the sulphur which it contains. The roast ing process is of the nature of lime kiln ing or charcoal burning. Each great bed of ore requires from one to two months to roast. When roasted the rock goes to the principal smelter, a powerful blast furnace "jacketed"—in mining phrase— with running water, to enable it to sus tain the great heat requisite to reduce the crude, obdurate mineral to fluidity. The dross of the molten mass is first allowed to flow off, and afterward the nearly pure nickel and copper, blended together in an alloy called the "mat," or matte, is drawn off at the base of the furnace into the barrow pots and wheeled away, still liquid and fiery hot, to cool in the yard of the smelter. The mat con tains about TO per cent, of nickel, the re maining 30 per cent, being mainly cop per. When cold, the conical pot loaves of mat can easily be cracked in pieces by means of heavy hammers. The frag ments arc then packed in barrels and shipped to Swansea, in Wales, and to Germany, where the two constituent metals are separated and refined by secret processes, which are very jealously guarded by the manufacturers. So jealously is the secret kept that no one in America has yet been able to learn the process, although one young metal lurgist spent three years in Swansea as a common laborer in the factories in order to obtain it. At present there are pro duced daily at the Copper Cliff mine about ninety pot loaves of mat, each weighing near 450 pounds, an output which yields an aggregate of more than 4,000 tons of nickel a year. —Manufac turing Jeweler. Rainfall on the Plains. Professor Frank 11. Snow, of the Kan sas State university, said several years ago; "Hut the fact that thousands of new coiners, from ignorance of the cli mate, have attempted to introduce ordi nary agricultural operations upon the so called plains, and have disastrously failed in the attempt, lias placed an undeserved stigma upon the good name of Kansas in many far distant communities, and has undoubtedly somewhat retarded immi gration during the past few years. It is time for the general recognition of the fact that, except in exceedingly limited area where irrigation is possible, the western third of Kansas is beyond the limit of successful agriculture." The severe seasons of drought which have occurred since the above conserva tive statement was written show the whole truth of (he matter to be that the westward advancing line of settlement is by no means an isohyetal one, but that it is merely a line representing in away the overflow of tin; population of our eastern states. It needs but a slight acquaintance among the old settlers in central Kansas to know that they fear nowadays excessively dry weather as much as tin y did twenty-five years ago. The people who live farther west are losing faith in the idea of an in creased rainfall, as is evidenced by the fact that over two hundred linear miles of main canals have lately been con structed for irrigation purposes nearly as far east as Kinsley, in the Arkansas valley of Western Kansas. In the Platte valley, in Nebraska, largo irrigating sys tems are at present being projected.— Stuart O. Henry in Popular Science Monthly. \ Prescription for Fat. Or.

How much the imagination works upon people who are apparently endowed with common sense! While in the store of a leading optician recently, a lady en teiod with a thermometer she had pur chased two days before. "I want this changed," she said with considerable asperity. "What is the tx'ouble?" asked the ur bane head of the concern. "It is incorrect. I hung it on the wall near the window, and watched it all (lav, and this morning I compared it with the accounts published in the pa pers and it did not agree witli them."
