I WORLD'S EIGHTH WONDER. The Tsanfpo Is Said to Be the Lofti est River on Earth Tho Teangpo ie in several respects the moat remarkable river in the world. It is the highest of all nav igable streams, flowing for nearly a thousand mi ea at an elevation ol from 11,000 to H,000 feet. Dur ing tho greater part of its course its current is sluggieh, but for a hun dred miles or more, tho mighty river in its descent to tho coast plain, runs with the speed of a mountain tor rent. Though one of tho largest of Central Asian streams, it 1ms never boon followed from its source to its month, and until recently it was doubtful of which of two well known rivers it was tho headwaters.

In longitude fit degrees east it makes a sharp bend to tho south, and passes through tho Himalayas in a course known only to the bhv- ages who dwell upon its precipitous banks. When last seen by an explorer it was at a height of from 8,im0 to 11,000 foot, but whn it eniorgos in Assam it is only 400 feet above sea level, rrom this point it puranrs its sluggish way tor another 800 miles as the iirahmaputra to the (ianges and tho I5ay of Iiengal. There has been a long controversy, into tho details of which it is not necessary to enter, as to whether the Irrawaddy or the Dralmiaputra is tho continuation of the Tsf.ngpo. Though there has been as yet nodi rect evidence tho last ex pod ion t of throwing in marked logs iu Tibet having failed the goneral concen sus of scientific opinion is in favor of the Brahmaputra, and the latcbt hugli6h (tazateer describes it under this name. From the National Go ographic Magazine. A Wonderful Invention in Prospect. Nikola Tesla is the great electrical magician. lie is now experimenting towards the solution of the problem of marine communication. There is a report out that he has already made a complicated apparatus for wireless communication between the United States and Europe or else where. It may come, but it would really look to bean impossibility for ever to send marine messages at long distances through the water without wires. Already, it is said, thore is successful communication between Nantucket lightship and Lncania, a distance of seventy-two miles, lhe Chicago lieeord-Herald tells that "officers of tho British navy have sent wireless messages from ship to ship in the Mediter ranean over distances roughly esti mated at over 100 miles. On the land this distance has been con siderably exceeded, messages having been sent from Crook haven, Ireland, to i'oldhu, Cornwall, a distance of 223 miles. In the sea experiments the interesting fact has been noted that wireless messages may bo sent through fogs and storms and that they are not seriously interfered with by electrical disturbances in the atmosphere." Wonders will never cease, is an old saw and true. With the possibility of having air ships within a few years that shall traverse long distances and even po across oceans in safety, and the marvellous consummation also of sending messages from New York to Loudon without connecting wires, promise to make the now centnry more famous if possible than the 19th century with all of its great achievements. W ilmington Mes senger. Prehistoric Footprints in a Rock. There is in Nash county, on the road loading from Whitakers to Tay lor's store, and nearly opposite what is known as the Gay place, a rock that has imprinted or cut into its solid surface the shape of a man's hands and feet and the foot prints of almest every known animal and many that are now unknown. When or how these impressions were made in the rock no man has the faintest idea. The negroes used to say that at one time the rock was soft and while in that condition Noah land ed his menagerie on it. More prob ably it represents the sculpture of a race of men who lived contemporary with the mound builders of the West and the Aztecs of Mexico. Rocky Mount Monitor.

BUY ONLY THE GENUINE. PERRY DAVIS Money Talks and Talks Loud. Writing of tho ridiculous Flag lor Kenan marriage at or near he nansville ncontly, the able and lev ol-hcailed btatesville landmark Aug. 27th, says: "Through his money and his in fluenco Flagler procured the pass ago of a law by the Florida Logis latnre permitting divorces for in sanity. According to all reports he got this law passed in ordor that tmglit put away a poor woman whoso mind had failed and wod an other with whom he was in love and whom ho know he could get. lie got his divorcoand tho wedding f lowed hard on tho heels of it. In "high society" this sort of thing, we suppose, is all right. Mr, 1' laglor s millions cover a multitiid of sins. Plain people, who look at matters Irom a common senso stand point, havo another name for such conduct. And yet Mr. Flagler, we are told is an elder in tho l resbyterian (Jhurcli ; and an eminent, learned eloquent, ablo and heretofore popu lar I roshytonan divine comes al tiio way from Lonisville to perform this marriage ceremony for a fee of 5,000. If the rrosbytoiian church has any regulations governing such nmtters (and if it lias not it should have) that portion of it which has jurisdiction over Mr. Henry M 'laglcr and the lie v. Dr. l'cytou 1. llogo wants to tako action at once in a matter of discipline." The Imperial Edict. A l'okin, China, dispatch of Aug. 28tli, says : 1 ho imperial ldict for bidding tlie importation ot arms and munitions of war is not satisfac tory to tho foroign ministers. It ignores tho vital fact that tho pro hibition applies to tho government and that it is part of the Chinese punishment. Tho edict makes it appoar to Ikj moroly tho govern ment'! voluntary act, prohibiting Chineso subjects from importing arms and munitions as tho country is disturbed by brigands. Liter in tho day it was announced that the ministers had decided to ac cept the edict, but to omit tho first paragraph in publishing it as part of the appendix to the protocol. It is understood that the Hritish minister, Sir Ernest Satow projiosed to return tho edict to tho Chineso peace commissioners as unsatisfac tory, but the proposal failed. Sev eral of tho diplomats, including Mr. Iiockhill, opposed this feature of the protocol. Among thoir reasons was that it was impossible of en forcement and that it was illogical, while insisting that tho Chinese govcrninont maintain order to de prive it of the moans of so doing. . A Dead Face in the Window. Crockford.tho proprietor of a well known Ixmdon gambling house, was made to play a queer role after he was dead. When ono of Crock ford's horses was poisoned just before the Derby, the misfortuno brought on an attack of aoplexy, which proved fatal within 4$ hours. Now, many of Crockford's friends had staked largo sums on another of tho gam bler's horses, which was a favorite for the Oaks and which was dis qualified by tho death of tho owner. Only the pooplo in the gambling house knew of Crockford's death, and it was resolved to keep it a secret until after the race. The servants were bribed and sworn to secrecy, and the conspira tors on the day after tho night upon which Crock ford died had the body placed in a chair at a window, so that people returning from tho track could see tho gambler sitting there. He was fixed up to look as lifelike as possible and through tho window and partially concealed from view by the curtains looked so natural that no one of the groat crowd which came cheering by the honso when on their return from seeing Crock ford's horse win the Oaks suspected the trick. The next day it was announced that Crock ford was dead, but it was years before the true story leaked out. Peculiarities of the Black Sea. Tho lilack Sea has characteristics that make it different from other seas and oceans. Kir John Murray has recently pointed out some of its peculiarities For instance, a sur faco current flows continuously from tho 111 nek Sea into the Mediterra nean, and an undercurrent from the Mediterranean into the lilack Sea. Tho latter current is salt, and its greater weight causes it to remain stagnant at the bottom. This water is saturated with sulphuretted by drogen, and will not, therefore, maintain life ; so the Black Sea has no living thing in it below a depth of about 100 fathoms. The deep water when brought to the surface has exactly the odor of rotten eggs. The name of the Salisbury mili tary company has been changed to Overman Guards in honor of tbe late captain of the company, W. U. Overman, and Mayor A. II. lloyden has been elected captain.

Ills Another tragixly has probably taken placo in Buncombe to help flwnll r.lm liar, nf rim laraa niimhnr r.f fatalities which have occurred ro cently. This time a young and inoffonsive white man, living about 14 mile north of Ashevillo was tho victim and who is supposed to havo met death by foul play while returning to his homo from this city. The footprintsof throo inon which were plainly discernible at the ford in trench l'road river, togother with matted places on tho ground where the men had been sitting, and bits of paper strewn around near the rivers brink point out this spot as tne scene of the tragedy, I his missing man is Libert I'uck nor, a sober and industrious tanner about 24 years of age. I'nekner bore a good reputation throughout the community near Sandy Mush, in which he has always lived, for his integrity. He loft his home early last Friday morning for Ashe ville to attend to some legal busi ness in this city, llo had recently instituted a law suit bore to recover several -thousand dollars from the cstato of tho lata James Lunsford, upon which ho has been living. Ihickner left Ashevillo to return to lis home almut 4:30 o'clock the same day, and his counsel hero say that they are satisfied that he was not under the influence of liquor when ho left the city. lhe mn lo which Hiicknor was riding was heard to go into its stable yard about U o clock friday night. Mrs. Lunsford, hearing the iu nlo in the lot, supposed that I'uckner had returned, and asked some questions about tho mule's food, though sho received no reply. Etrly tho next morning Mrs. Lunsford was awaken- ed by a noise near tho house, which ho found to bn tho mulo liiK-kncr had ridden to Atdiovillo the day be fore. The animal was loose in the corn held Willi saddlu and bridle ntact. Tho saddle was thoroughly soaked by water. Mrs. Luckuer, mother of tho missing man, was questioned as to Lor son's where- Iku8 and as she know nothing of Elbert both women decided that he was drowned. Tracks of tho innle were traced to path leading into the ford of tbe river. It was tonnd that the mule ed gone to the bridgo just above the ford, and tracks were traced lere, and imprints of the mule's foot found in one of the decayed anke. The tracks turned here and were treed to the path loading to tho ford about lo or 20 feet below the ridgo. I'jth cret k near by an J ie river wero searched. On Re count of tho high water the party worked to a great disadvantage with nsuccesnfiil efforts l esterday the search was again eon tin nod, when ut-kner s hat was found near the outh of tho cret k, lodged noarthe bank at a lend in the river known as Tin key Neck. A hole was found cut in one side of tho hat which looked as though it had boon done ith a rock or some sharp implo- mont. Stains wore found on the bat which resembled blood, though it was impossible to say if they wero blood stains, as the hat had been in the water for several days. It ia said that Unckner's life had been repeatedly threat' ned and in dications clearly point that he met his death by assailants at the Sandy Mush ford. Asheville Citizen. What Senator Davis Says. Senator Davis, of Illinois, w ho is very prominent and knows what he is talking about, says : "Each year evtry lictl newapaer gives from five hundred dollars to live thousand dollars in free ad vertising for the benefit of the community in which it is printed. No other agen cy can or will do this. The editor in proportion to his means docs more tor his town than any other man t and in all fairness he onght to be eupiorted, not bo- , cause you liko or admire his writings, but because a local newspaper is the beet advertisement a com munity can have. It may not be crowded with great thoughts, but financially it is of more benefit than tho teacher or preacher.'

I bis is not surprising, bow ever, when we consider tho rspi development of this country, an tho great increa, 3 in wealth, in both of which railroads have been th main factor. In 1832. (the year i which railroad building begat there wero 22!) miles of road ; i 1840, 2.1 IS miles; in 1850, D,2l in 18(10, 30,(!2(1 ; in 1870, 52,922 ; in 1880, 93,2(12; in 1800, 100,703 an in 1900, 193,343. There hasn't been a year in all this timo in which moro or loss new mileago was not laid This would give an annual average construction since 1832 of nearly 2,840 miles. The part iIicbo roads have played in tho development and increaso o tho wealth of the country is shown by the following table prepared by Mr. Joseph JNimino, of the I nitoi States Unreal! of Statistics; 1850, $ 7,135,780.228 18(10, l(i,15il,Cl(i,(M5,S lS7o, 30,0118,518,507 1880, 43,(142,000,000 1890, (i5,O37,o0L197 Enim'd for 1900, 94,0110,000,000 1 ho roads of tho country now rep roscnt a capitalization of $12,553, 000,000.

Ibis interesting fact is ironght out by Franklin u. h iley n the Iadies' Homo Journal for September, in "Famous I'eoplo as We Do Not Know I hem. lhe story of how it came about was told y a member of (Jongrebs 1 human Uamer who recommended on tig Grant as a candidate for West oint in 1839. Mr. Ilamer had long been a friend of tho Grants, but when he camo to make out the application papers for Ulysses ho could not recall the boy's full name. So, deciding that ho was doubtless named for his mother's family, he wrote it "Ulysses Simpson (rant." Thus was it recorded at West l'oinf, and though the attention of the oflicialb was several times called o the error they did not feel author ized to correct it. This name was gradually adopted, and by it Grant was, and always will bo known. I'ul as for any record of the birth of "U lyases Simpson Grunt" that diH!s not exist. Salt Lake in Cyprus. There is what might be called a "freak" lake in the Island of Cyprus. It lies in a basin cut oil from the sea and slightly below sea level. It is very salt, and when the excessive heat lias dried up the water, which it does by the month of August, ev ery summer tho inhabitants gather 4 haivest of tho deposit. It is be lieved that the lake is formed by the pei eolation of sea water through the rocks. The inhabitants set grest value on the lake, and as a single heavy rain in midsummer has been known to ruin the salt crop, they have mad channels to carry olf rain floods from the slopes of the basin into the sea.
