LIBERIA IS REACHING OUT Tribes of That Country, It Is Said, Arc Accepting tho Teachings of the Missionaries. Plenyono Gt>e Wolo, a Liberian of the Kru tribe, who graduated from Columbia university, says: There neve** has been a scientific census of Liberia, but the populatiou Is estimated at from 2,000.000 to 3,000.- ! rmn anH nAt mAPa rhun InfMMl nrt> VVV| iiuu LiV w UIV?

The Krus elect their kings by the selection of the most available man of the royal house. In the Jarroway tribe the king is an absolute monarch for the reign of six years, and is then put to death. Other tribes also follow different customs. The tribes do not acknowledge the government of Monrovia, because they feel that it does not protect them. By | treaty the United States government j is required to help the Amerieo-Liberians against the tribes, and in 1U12 tikis country helped put down a rebellion of the Krus. The constitution of Liberia has a literacy test, which has heretofore excluded most of the natives from voting, as the central government is unable to undertake their education. The Girbas are being taught by Episcoikl missionaries, and the Fulinzos. wno are Mohammedans, are also gaining the franchise. The Krus are very ambitious and are also catching up. There are more1 than 50 Liberians of the native tribes studying in the United States.

Mower, ^ \ The C "The Bank The old French word trompe" meant a pipe or tuba, and the term trompe was applied to the apparatus by which the blast is produced in the Catalan forge. It is a simple, effective and ingenious contrivance for producing a continuous and equable blast, but its use is restricted to localities where a fall of water from a height of several yards can be obtained. The principle is that water can be made to fall through a pipe in such a wav that it will draw in through side openings a considerable amount of air, which by a simple and ingenious arrangement can be utilized as a constant current or blast, and which has the merit of costing almosi nothing. It has been utilized to a limited extent elsewhere than in the department of Ariege, in the South of France, where it was formerly very generally employed- Iron has been made in that district for more than GOO years, but the use of the troinpe blast was not introduced until the end i of the seventeenth century. vimis^ov kaiuvi lid. 1 Particularly gay and attractive are the shops of the lantern venders in the Chinese cities. All varieties of lanterns are to be seen?the large silken ones three and four feet high, gorgeously painted with variegated colors, embroidered in gold and silver or decorated with deep fringe of the same material, costing from $100 to $200 and used by the wealthy mandarins and others; and common small horn and paper lanterns, used by the coolies, which cost one-sixteenth of a dollar. The mode of making horn lanterns is very ingenious; the horns are cut into remarkably thin slices which, by means of heat and pressure, are joined together and formed into various shapes; round, square, hexagon, octagon, and ^me shaped to resemble an hour glass.
