Experience* of a German Naturalist In African Wild*. A German has been wandering here and there in eastern tropical Africa taking telescopic photographs at long range by day of the famous game animals and birds or catching them by flashlight in their night haunts, says Cyrus C. Adams in Harper's Weekly. In a. little less than two years he has taken over 2,000 of these pictures. He lias hroncrht to view the hidden life of many African animals, showing them just as they are in their natural environment and making plain to us many of their aspects that were never before revealed to human eyes. Over 300 of these photographs have been reproduced In the book he has written, which is today the literary sensation in Germany. The book is "Mit Blitzlicht und Buchse" ("With Flashlight and Rifle"), by C. G. Schillings, a German naturalist An English translation of it has recently been published in the! United States by Harper & Bros. The flashlight pictures are the most j unique and surprising in the collection. Nearly all of them were taken at the drinking places which many animals visit in the night When Schillings had selected a favorable spit he would pitch his cami) some distance away, but near enough to summon aid at the crack of his rifle. Selecting a small space where the wind blew toward him from the path and water, he would inclose It with a brush fence to screen himself from view. Here he would sit sometimes all night in the darkness or starlight with his flashlight all ready, | match in hand and repeating rifle and revolver by his side. There was little or no danger in the worl$. A flash and the picture was taken. An instant more and the animals were scampering. Even the lordly lion stayed not upon the order of his going. He might be springing through the air or on the neck of his victim, inflicting the one killing bite?the flash, and off he crashed Into the Jungle. In ! rtrm rkintnrck ho la oronchine for a spring. The next picture, taken instantly after, shows only the end of his tail. A crinkle in the tail of a zebra may reveal the first moment of his terrible surprise. Some views show the sudden fear in the eyes of the animals as they gazed for a second at the startling illumination. DR. GILLETTE'S FEE. Made General Manager of Matnal For Saving Mr*. McCurdy. Just how Dr. Walter R. Gillette was taken from a comparatively obscure position In the medical department of the Mutual Life Insurance company and made general manager was told recently, says the New York Herald. Dr. Gillette had for a dozen years been the family physician of Richard A. McCurdy. The social relations between the physician and the McCurdy family were close. Mrs. McCurdy was taken suddenly ill and her malady for a time baffled the physician's skill. Mr. McCurdy became alarmed and desired to call in specialists, but to this Dr. Gillette demurred. The doctor Insisted that he could handle the case without assistance. For a time after that Mrs. McCurdy's ailment did not seem to yield to the treatment and one day when bis wife was very low Mr. McCurdy called Dr. Gillette into his private office and said: "Gillette, I fear that I am going to lose my wife. Perhaps there is no reason for my being alarmed, but I cannot help it Can you give me any hope?* Clllot+o ooenrwl \fr cCVlPflv that he had every confidence in Mrs. McCurdy's ultimate recovery. "Gillette," said Mr. McCurdy, "if yon can restore my wife to health I will make you general manager of the Mutual Life. I mean what I say and you will see that I will keep my promise." Within a month Mrs. McCurdy was convalescent and soon after her complete recovery Mr. McCurdy announced through a circular letter sent to all the agents throughout the country that Walter R. Gillette had been appointed general manager of the Mutual Life. The salary which Dr. Gillette received thereafter was nearly three times what he received as a member of the medical board. Dr. Gillette's final advancement to the post of vice president of the company, with equal powers to those vested in Mr. Grannls, Is a matter of record. Course For Office Boys. So many different things are being taught in the public and private schools nowadays that there are few innovations in the line of pedogogy that will be a surprise to the natives who are used to hearing tales of Superintendent Maxwell's "fads," says the New York Press. But there Is one new course started this fall in an Institution that makes a business of originating novelties in the way of education that will be likely to make old fashioned folk rub their eyes to read it This is nothing more nor less than an "office boys' course," designed to teach the terrors of the business world the mast approved methods in filing, indexing, mimeographing, letter copying, etc., as well as applied antnmeuc, Dusmess n,ngnau, spelling and penmanship. The director of the school lays special stress on the fact that "importance will be laid upon business etiquette." Name Child After Moiqaito. To commemorate the yellow fever epidemic in New Orleans, in which city their baby was born, a family named Wilson there have had their child j christened Stegomyia Fasciata Wilson, so that the boy will never forget the test of the theory that yellow fever is transmitted only by the Stegomyia fasciata mosquito, which has been demonstrated beyond a possibility of doubt there the past summer.

Itinerant singers and musicians took np positions at various points In tbe streets. Parties sat supping at improvised supper tables. Here and tbere couples were dancing gayly to tbe music of a violin or guitar. Bogaert was awakened first at 3 o'clock in tbe morning. When told that be was to die he remarked in Flemish, 'Tm going to have a change of air at last" Zwartwaeger was not facetious, but took tbe news seriously. The condemned men received the sacrament from the prison chaplain. Bogaert broke out at various stages into loud laughter, exclaiming: "Oh, is it not pretty? How very nice it is?" When the priest bad concluded Bogaert turning to tbe jailer, remarked, with a sneer, "Does be not talk beautifully?' He continued his gibes up to tin very moment be -was pinioned by tbe executioners.
