Some time ago, there was what the news described ?s unrest In- the West African colony of Lagos; telegrams were dispatched between that country and Great Britain, governors -and deputy-governors were- interviewed, and it was with difficulty that a native war was averted. The cause of all this commotion was an umbfella^ |. Now, in our country, as we" all know, ' an umbrella. Is looked upon as a harm less possession? but not so In West ; Africa, 'there, among most of the na tive tribes the umbrella is regarded as an emblem of royalty, and Its pos session Is strictly confined to the chief L or king of the tdbe. Therefore the Indignation was In tense on the part of one of these ? kings, when he found an inferior chief i putting up an umbrella of his own. ' The king at once took a journey to Lagos, to lodge a formal complaint of [ the chiefs treasonable conduct with the British governor. An Africa^ king's umbrella Is a very elaborate affair, and' It often costs j large sums of money. Most of the umbrellas for Ashantl and the Gold coast are made of gigantic size, some of them when open measuring ten feet across. The coverings of these umbrellas are of colored silk ? the brighter the better, with very deep fringes. The largest umbrellas are carried over the heads oY chiefs, by bearers while other bearers steady tho^umbrella by cords attached to the uppermost parts. * One state umbrella had fop Its apex a silver eagle standing on two silver cannons, while another umbrellA had a gold hen on the top, thg hen being aurrounded by /tumerons chickens, to represent the chief and his tribe. K . CHANGES IN" "OLD FAITHFUL" Yellowstone's Famous Geyser -Has-! Slightly Lengthened the Periods Between It* Eruptions. Old Faithful, Yellowstone's' most < famous geyser, has slightly changed the period of -Its eruptions. According to the observations of the park naturalist and the rangers, the geyser now spouts on an average every 64.6 minutes. Last year the av erage period .was 60 minutes. The alteration In Old Faithful's j "tempo" does not Indicate any lessen- j Ing of Its vigor or "faithfulness." On the contrary, Naturalist M. P. Skin ner's observations show the mighty fountain to be Increasing in volume. The change Is believed to be due to j an alteration In the subterranean tube of the geyser. For the last year or so Old Faithful has acquired a habit of occasionally throwing out small rocks. The pas sage of th* rocks through the tube Is believed to have enlarged Its dimen- [ ilons 'slightly, this In turn being re- > sponsible^ for the lengthened period be tween eruptions and the Increased vol- j uroe of water. _ A number of other Interesting changes, lending a constantly varying interest to the mysterious manifests- j tlons of the park's performing natural 1 wonders, also are reported by official observers. That Word "Corker."
