April Hi.?One of the most interesting experiments that has taken place at Harvard in years was tried on last Wednesday. Joe, the young orang-outang, and his companion, the chimpanzee. Sally, now on exhibition at the Zoo, were the guests of Prof. William James. Prof. James had arranged a scries of experiments, in which Joe and Sal ly cheerfully took part, all designed to bear upon the much-discussed rela tion of these brutes to the human race. The orang outang seemed to appreciate the honor which had been done him in inviting him to appear be fore the learned men of Harvard, for he behaved with decorum and mani fested only politely his curiosity as to everything presented for his inspec tion. Joe sat upon the knee of the emi nent psychologist, slid a pair of long, hairy, sinewy arms around his neck, looked up into his eyes affectionally and hugged him, while a dozen Rad cliffe girls elbowed one another to get near them. At the conclusion of the experi ments Prof. James remarked that Joe in particular seemed to display a mind of the human type, and that in his opinion there was a greater difference in development between the orang-ou tang and the dog than between man and the orang-outang. It has been established by naturalists that the ape, which most nearly approaches man in its organization, is either a chimpanzee or the gorilla; therefore, it was expected that Sally, being a chimpanzee, would exhibit the higher degree of intelligence, but such was not the case. The orang-outang, though not so alert or active as his companion, displayed more curiosity, a stronger inclination to imitate, and a more marked appreciation of the re lation of cause and effect. One thing above all others was de monstrated, that was Joe's wonderful curiosity. It seemed that nothing, still or moving, escaped his attention, and on all things he looked in the manner of a complacent and wistful old man, who understood very well, and did not worry. He was methodi cal in finding the origin and character of several sensations he received, and always when he had satisfied himself settled back unconcernedly and direct ed his attention elsewhere. The imi tative faculty showed itself strongly in some of his doings. Butwith this, as with his curiosity, he was persist ent only until he found himself able or unable to imitate; then he was philosophically resigned to whatever turned up next. This peculiarity in Joe interested Prof. James most. When the professor whistled the orang-outang puckered up his lips and made a rude attempt to reproduce the sound. When a toy snake was ex hibited he manifested great terror, throwing himself frantically into the arms of his keeper. To ascertain whether he recognized the object as a snake a piece of rubber hose of the same size and flexibility was displayed before him, but this he regarded with composure, and, babylike, immediate ly tried to put it into, his mouth. 'The chimpanzee, on the other hand, mani fested little interest in either the snake or the hose. A piaster cast of a bust of one of his species was placed before Joe. He recognized it at once, felt the head all over very carefully, and finally, as the highest test of his identity, tried to taste one of his ears. When Prof. James tried the sense of smell of the pair with cologne both tried to drink the perfumery. Joe listened intently when the prongs of several tuning forks were struck, apparently being moved most by the deeper tones. Mr. Edwards, Joe's trainer, took a piece of chalk, and, at Prof. James's sugges tion, drew a picture on the blackboard. The chalk was then handed Joe, who, after a little hesitation, drew some very curious figures. One of the most significant experi ments, perhaps, was made with an electric bell, which was rung by press ing a button. Joe was seated on a small table and the bell was placed on the floor, just out of his sight. Then a small board with the button attach ed was placed before him and the bell was rung. This seemed to interest Joe very much; he listened to the sounds and watched the button with grave curiosity. His muddy brain could not grasp at once the relation of cause and effect here, the perception of which is supposed by some to be an attribute of man alone; bui; after several demonstrations he began to see vaguely that the button before him had something to do with the mysterious sounds under the table. First he tried to pull it out, then twist it, and finally, by a chance, pressed the button, and had accomplished one step toward human intelligence. The bell rang and so interested Joe that he leaped far over and contemplated it for some time with great gravity. The chimpanzee could not be made to ap preciate this test. She became quer ulous when the professor persisted in trying to make her comprehend it.? Nino York Sun. Whisky Generally the Cause. In a recent issue of the North American Review was an article by the Hon. J. C. Parker, who for twen ty-five years has been judge of the federal court for the Indian Territory and the western district of Arkansas. During this period nearly a thousand men have stood before Judge Parker, charged with murder. He has sent more criminals to the gallows and jails than any other judge in America. "When we go to facts," said the judge, *;we find that during the last six years there have been 43,902 hom icides in the United States, an average of 7,317 per year. In the same time there have been 723 legal executions and 1,118 lynchings. These startling figures show that crime is rapidly in creasing instead of diminishing. In the last year 10,500 persons were kill ed, or at the rate of 875 per month, whereas in 1800 there were only 4,290, or less than half as many as in 1805. This bloody record shows a fearful increase of the crime which destroys human life." Asked as to the part whisky had played in this awful carnival of blood, Judge Parker replies : "At least three fourths of the homicides committed in this country are attributable, di rectly or indirectly, to the use of in toxicants." ? The distinction of being the greatest dandy in the world has been accorded to prince Albert of Thurn. His annual bill for clothing amounts to no less than $15,000.

To the Editor of the News and Courier: I read an article some days ago in your valuable journal upon the subject of wind mills, and at the same time allusion was made to a power wheel operated by the flow ami ebb of the stream or tide. Both of these powers, with referenoc to the adaptation to irrigation or pumping out rice fields. The latter device, claimed to be an invention of Mr. Barker, is an old one. and probably the same, or upon the same principle of what is known as Collidon's swimming wheel upon the periphery of which arc blades or buck ets extending the whole length of the wheel, the whole so set as to rise or fall with the tides and to present their revolutions to the proper impact of the rising or receding stream and communicating motion through its spindle to cog wheels, and spindle to the inside of tho bank. I have often wondered that upon rice field banks and at the barns that wind mills were not in general use. Although they were invented hun dreds of years ago, and were construct ed upon the rudest principles and were still effective, it is only within the past fifteen or twenty years that they have been built and recommended upon really scientific principles. The wind mills of to-day arc no more like the original old-fashioned mills of long ago, which the Knight de la Mancha mistook for giants with more arms than Briarus, than the modern steam engines are like Blasco's engine on the principle of Aelopole of Hero, invented 130 B. C, or even with the eventual improvements of Watt that followed in 1769. Our imperfect knowledge and inex perience with the new and improved appliances furnished by the best and most skilfully constructed wind mills of the present day may account in part for why they are not more gener ally used at the South. Methinks that the poet who wrote, that "God's mill grinds slow, but sure," may have had the suggestion inspired in his reverie by the creaking of an old-time wind mill, as it started and stopped, and fluttered and flopped its wings, by fits and starts, just as prosperous o* adverse breezes happened to ruffle its extended flanges. If he was a phi losopher, he, no doubt, stood with pa tience to see the wheat winnowed from the chaff, or the full-grown grain ground to powder, with exactness into the hopper below. A breath now is sufficient to start machinery of a set tlement. The wind mill of to-day is a certain factor and is estimated as is done by steam engines as "indicated horse-power," and as duty which is the measure of power. They are regularly and scientifically computed, and no one need be at a loss with the new inventions and appliances that are rife to adapt a power of wind to a projected duty. These desiderata are of course best ascertained, computed and applied by the skilled and ex perienced manufacturers of wind mills and air motors that are in vogue all over the couutry, and about which I do not pretend to know anything. The general use of wind mills all over the Northern and Western States and in Europe, where they are em ployed for every purpose that steam engines of limited power can fulfil, would seem to indicate that their utility, if not necessity, has been ex perienced. Their use is not confined to flat countries merely, in absence of water powers. Their universal prev alence in Holland is not only because it is a flat country, but because of their cheapness in comparison to any other power. In Switzerland, in Bel gium, in thrifty Germany, inali parts, they may be S 'en everywhere. Along the banks of tho Bhine,from Mayence to Cologne, where the country is com paratively flatter than along some of the vine-clad hills along the other banks of the same river, where the streamlets furnish moderate water powers, every lot and barn has its inevitable wind mill. At almost every country place and town plot in New England and in the Eastern, as well as the Western States, they are used for threshing, grinding, irrigating and lifting. At the seaside resorts along the coasts they are indispensable for the water supply from bored wells. With the new modes of self-regula ting their fans to the force and velocity of the winds, there is no danger of their being destroyed by gales, or being retarded by the gentlest breezes, for in the one instance they contract themselves automatically and expand in proportion to the strength of the current, and so nicely balanced and adjusted are they that they are not even dependent upon a steady draft to continue their propulsion. The utility of wind as a source of power is no longer a doubted or un certain question. The problem of harnessing it for the uses to which other elements arc applied and have yielded obedience, has undoubtedly been perfected in the several contri vances that have made the modern wind mill to be sought as subservient to furnishing energy. The very light ning, the most subtle of all elements, if it may be so called, is furnishing hitherto dormant power, why should not the wind ? The vital feature in a power wind engine is its maintenance at right angles to the wind line without swerve or veer, except as the wind changes its line of action. A wind mill, it is said, must be at least thirty feet above all wind obstructions, or at least thirty feet above the houses or trees in near proximity. There are few places in our agricul tural sections where theae powers might be available, that cannot fulfil the desired conditions, particularly in our rice field sections where they might be of vast utility, and with corresponding advantages of cheap ness. Now, which are the best is yet to be determined. T. G. W. Beaufort, April IO, 1S07. Clocks in Africa. In talking over the minute factors that have meant profit or loss to man ufacturers, some curious details were given me by experts. For instance, one clock manufacturer, of Waterbury, Conn., found that a certain rival was doing a large trade in cheap clocks S2nt out to the wilds of Africa. He got hold of a sample clock, and, find ing that there was a heavy profit in the enterprise, invested a large sum of money in making a still better clock, thousands of which wore ship ped to the same market. Strange to say, sales were very slow, while his rival, turning out a cheaper and far less accurate timepiece, was selling all he could make. Finally the ex planation came. Savages like noise. The clocks made by the original ex porter had a particularly loud and ag gressive tick; his imitator made a better clock, but it was almost noise less, and the savages would have none of it. The remedy was imple. The next shipment of clocks to the Guinea coast ticked louder than anything pre viously heard there,, and all went well. ? The function of a negro's black skin is supposed to be the conversion of the sun's light into heat. The heat thus generated remains in the skin and does not penetrate to the deeper tissues. Being thus provided with a sun-proof armor the negro can stand an amoant of heat that would be fatal to a white man, and run little or no ri.sk of sunstroke. Burned Herself to Penili. ORAXoEBuna, April l .?A strange death by burning; is reported in this county ?s follows: "One day last week Lucy Logan, a colored woman living on Mr. H. D. A. Burke's place, was burned into a crisp and died in great agony a few hours afterwards. It was astrange death in that it was the result of the woman's own deliberate act, and not of accident. This woman, it is said, was eubject to periodical fits, and on this occasion ehe seemed possessed of a strange fancy that she was driven by some powor to jump Into a we)' or to burn herself to death. Her husband for a time prevented her from doing either, but as soon as he left her she proceeded to a new ground, where some hands wore burning brush. Her screams were son heard and when assist ance arrived she was already horribly burned, having presumably set herself on fire." Romance and Reality. Oh, love! Oh, rapture!

I presume vou will want the same quarters you bad before? Kind of souvenir, don't you know." He didn't seem to be particularly pleased by the manner of the clerk. "What is the price of room and board?" he said crisply. "Three dollars a day up," and the cl6rk spoke in a disappointed tone. "Nothing lower than that?" "That's the lowest." "Give un that," said the guest, reaching for his sat ?bel.

Savannah, April M.?The members of the Dully Street Baptist church are much interested in the case of Boyd Wells, S years of age, and the son of Mr. and MA. .Tessio Wells, a well known Savannah family. The boy can scarcely read and cannot writo. One morning recently he arose and told his mother he had dreamed dur ing the night that he must ask her to read him the U3rd Psalm. The little boy had never had read to him this psalm and was not familiar with the prayer that this particular psalm would disclose. Mrs. Wells, the mother, turned and read as follows: "O God, Thou ait my God; early will I seek Thee." After the mother had finished reading the little follow said he desired to em brace Christianity and to become at once a member of the church. After a long conference with the minister, Rev. J. P. Chapman.it was decided to rer*?vehlm into Duffy Street Baptist church as an active member. He will be publicly im mersed Saturday night. The lad's sudden conversion and his peculiar dream has awakened much inter est in Savannah, especially among mem bers of this church. ?

In my judgment the MAS TIC gives better result1?, and is more satisfactory in every way than any of them. It has a gloss and finish about it rarely found in Paints, and when I have more painting to do I Ehall cer tainly use it. It is a mistaken notion that Ready Mixed Paints cost more, and ili" the people will use a high grade, like the MASTIC, the preju dice existing against them will die out. You are at liberty to use this as you like. Respectfully yours, B. F. WHITNER.
