Is Never Surprised--Followers Tannot Understand Ways of Civilization and Are Contin- ually Puzzled. : Marseilles, July 5.--The dusky King of Cambodia, who has spent several weeks at Marseilles, where there is a Cambodian palace attached to the colonial exhibition there, has leit for Paris with his numerous suite. : The king and his wives and dancing girls are greatly puzzled with the ways of civilization, but the people of this city did. their utmost to give them a good time, When they arrived at the surashere it took several hours to mount the staircases. Cambodia does not know much about stairs, and Sisowath's followers felt much as a country cousin does when first intro- duced to a lift. : The king, however, remained perfect- Iv calm and did not permit himself to show any surprise. One of = thé suite exjdained that his majesty knows everything. But his majesty's omni- science did not prevent several amus ing questions on the voyage. Dr. Bizarre, of the Admiral Ker- saint, told me that the weather rough, and at intervals of five utes King Sisowath sent his interpre ter to the bridge to summon the cap tain, who did his best to relieve the monarch's fears. 'But why does the ship shake me about so?" asked his majesty, "Why does it dip? Are the machings big enough to pull it out of the hollows?" The captain reassured him, but not entirely. Five minutes later he was summoned to the royal cabin again: "Do you know where we are?' asked the king, The captain produced a chart, and, pointing to a place on it, said : "We are there, your majesty, and to-morrow, at midday, we shall see land." Land was sighted next day at mid- day, and King Sisowath ordered a hymn of joy to Buddha to be played on deck. He then decorated the cap- tain with the Order of Cambodia, ob- serving it was strange that the cap- was min- tain knew where the ship was when his majesty did not know. "(mite Lowis Quatorzian," was the doctor's comment. The king was specially delighted with the honors shown him at Colombo, where the voyage was broken for the purpase of visiting the famous Temple of the Tooth, at Kandy, and inspect- ing with all reverence Buddha's foot- long molar, which is seldom exposed to the gaze of visitors, in the inner recesses of the gorgeously decorated shrine. The mystic rites were ceremoniously observed; ~and while the clean-shaven, yellow-robed priests of Buddha chant ed the "Jayamangala Gata" (the sa- cred song of the Cingalese), the king made his offerings to the Dewa Ni- lame, or high priest. They were a valuable diamond ring and three other rings, four minature trees in gold relief set on silver cups, two bank notes for 1,000 france each, a number of sovercigns, other money of less distinctive character, and in- numerable candles, some of which were five feet long. The retinue stripped themselves of their valuable ornaments and offered them ,at the shrine. The king has not yet realized that there are any countries in the world which 'are not owned by either Eng- land or France. Each ship which was sighted on the voyage brought the in- quiry : "French of English?' and when the Italian const came in view his majesty asked : "What land = is that ?"' "Italy," he was told. "Does it he- long to France or England ?"' was the next question. "It is an ally of Ger- many," said the doctor. But neither the king nor his interpreter had ever heard of Germany. \ TOUCH en a SECTION. i 0 DAIL a ------ NATIVE ET -- Ln LIFE D BRITISH KINGSTON, ONTARIO, SATURDAY, JULY 7, 19086. EF aly CLAIMS ALL RIGHTS Says State is His Property. Brussels, July 7.--King Leopold sets forth hig personal elaims to the Con- go Free State in two letters which are published in the Official Bulletin. "The burden and the responsibility for this state," writes his majesty to the secretaries general of the state, "have fallen 'on me, and the con- stitution of the Congo is my personal achievement. 'The powers gave the birth of the state their blessing, but they did not share in the task that Personal followed, and can prove no right to intervene. My rights cannot be divided: they are due to my toil and the expenditure of my money. "I proclaim my that rights aloud so they may not lapse. Belgium its {o-sucecession ex- cept those 'which emanate from me." Hig majesty atrocities then comments on the which taken place, which he says are inseparable from all human work. Administration must protect the natives, but cannot for- get the rights of the whites, The state must be develop by rail ways and other means, and for this purpose bonds will be placed as neces sity arises. "Sleeping sickness must be stamped out," writes his majesty, "and for the investication necessary 1 will sign a credit for $0000." A prize of $400,000 also awaits who succeeds in doing this, The king deprecates the discussion of the annexation of the Conro hy Belgium at present, hut beeueaths the state of Belgium at his death..on con dition that the crown lands and state property+ ard presery, have the man KILLED BY A LEOPARD. Englishman, Gets Within Reach of the Animal. Cape Town, July 7.-A. M. Davies, son of Gen. Davies, has been Killed by a leopold in Mashonaland. : He was in charge of a party con veving stores from Melsotter to Um tali, when the leopard killed one of the donkeys employed in drawing the loads. The leopard was driven off, and poison was placed on the don key's carcase. Next morning Mr. Davies saw the leopard motionless near the donkey, and; thinking it was dead, went up to it unarmed. When within two. yards, the brute sprang at his throat. and inflicted such injuries that Mr. Davies died." The leopard escaped in the bush. GOVERNOR OF PARIS Out of Three Proposed for the Office.

Edinburgh, July 7.--'lhe story of a buried heart brought back by sorrow: ing friends from Holland, when the body itself could not be conveyed. to the family vault---has bn recalled from the mists of tradition by the search for the relic among the ring of Culross Abbey, in Scotland. In a vault in the Abbey is a small brass plate, which tells the story of the buried heart. The inscription is as follows : "Near this spot is deposited the heart of Edward, Lord Bruce of Kin: loss, 'who was slain in a bloody duel fought in 1613 with Sir Edward Sack. ville, afterward: Ean of Dorset, at Bergon-op-Zoom, Holland. The heart is embalmed in a silver casket of for eign workmanship, secured botween two flat and excavated stones, clasp ed with iron." Lord Elgin and For the present Lord Bruce recently visited the Abbey -- which is being . restored----and in the presence only of the master of works and the foreman mason searched the family vault of the Bruces. The search proved that the vault was empty; but whout a foot below the pavement a large stone was dis: covered. Tt is helioved that beneath it the heart will be found. The story of the duel is un tradition in the neighborhood. © Insulted: by Sir Fdward Sackville in a public place, Lord Bruce challenged Ms detractor, and the two. gentlemen repaired 46 the Low Countries to fight eut the quarrel. The conflict was fierce, and ruce was mortally wounded, He was buried in the nreat church of Bergen, but ore he expired he bogged his som- rades 40 take his heart book to Scot land, and lay it in the cl Abbey at Culross. MOST NATURAL PROCEEDING. The Harvard Professor and the Working Man. A Harvard graduate tells of a pro fessor, who, in order to study econo- mic conditions, took lodging in a Shoup boarding house. "My man," said the professor one Lie ha to a workman who sat be- ide him at the breakfast table, "one of the secrets of success is observa tion, and concentration. Now, I want you to return to-night and tell me what you have seen during the day." That evening the man reported that he had seen "trolley cars, autos, men, women, children, buildings, birds, clouds, suns," "Stop," ejaculated the professor, observe "to-morrow again; see less, concentrate more. ' Next day the man delighted the professor by saying that he had no ticetl the "top storeys of buildings, chimmeys, Ray us, birds." "That will deo," futerrapted the man of learning, "You are making progress, Try again. Scrutinize intensely what you see. "I saw," admitted the workman the following evening, "clouds, the sun and a few birds." "Grand 1" oxcloimed the professor, ioviully, as he prepared to take notes, "Now, my man, kindly tell me by what process you concentrated your fuculties on so few and such sublime obiects 7" "By the ordinary process," announ- cord the workman calmly, "of digging a gellar." FISH KEPT ALIVE IN TRANSIT Cars Constructed for Purpose by a German Firm. Berlin, July 7. Messrs, Siemens and Halske are constructing railway cars for the conveyance of live fish out of water, German chemiogl experts have dis coversd that fish remain alive in the pir so long as their gills are damp, and have invented compartments in which the fish are supplied with oxy gen and moisture. Experiments have shown that fish can be kept ulive in this manner for three or four days. At present the transport of live fish is effected hy" means of heavy tanks, ninety-three per cent. of the weight of the load being taken up bv the re servoir, and the fish themselves con stituting only seven per cent. -------------- Must not be confounded with ecom- mon cathartic or purgative pills.
