AKIil SIiPtO OUT Journey to visit tho greatest waterfall In the world, for such indeed It Is, being twice the width and two and a half times the height of the Niagara Falls. Tee How of water in the Zambesi is not as constant as that of the St. Lawrence, but when the river is in flood it Is estimated that the -volume Is about double that of Niagara, with the result that about thirty-five million horse power may be sen running to waste. During the dry season this is much reduced, but even in the driest years the volume passing over the lip is very large. The first white man to visit the falls was David Livingstone, in 1S55.

The natives puddled him in a canoe clown to the island-now called Livingstone Island situated in the middle ot the river on the edge of the lip over which the water rolls, lie thus describes what he saw: ''I believe that no one could perceive hore the vast body of water went; it seemed to lose itself in tho earth, the opposite lip of the fissure into which it disappeared being only eighty feet distant. At least I did not comprehend it until, creeping with awe to the verge, I peered down inlo a large rent which had been made from bank to bnnlt of the broad Zambesi and saw that a stream of a thousand yards broad leaped down over a hundred feet, and then became suddenly compressed Into a space of fifteen or twenty yards. The entire falls are simply a crack made In a hard basaltic rod: from the ri'thl have war tfed Emily Brown of the step she was taking. The preceding Kmpress had been omnipo? lent In the kingdom, and every corner of the palace, every street In Seoul, was watched by her spies. It was said that she was too favorable to Russia, and there were other reasons why she should he hated; and one day twenty years ago, during trouble with Japan, the Empress disappeared, and Corea was ordered to go Into mourning for twelve months.

Then the "dend" Empress reappeared again at court, and it transpired that she had been smugirl id from the palaro disguised as a soldier's wife, another having been killed In her place. Back from the dead, she reigned for thirteen years beside her husband, until one day there happened at Seoul the llltc of what has happened this year In Belgrade. Tai Wen Kun. tho 1'ather of the Emperor, a man with "bowels of iron and a heart of stone." stage managed an assassination which carried off tho Oueen nnd drove the King once more to. tlight.

When the crisis was over tin King came back lo Seoul, married Emily Brown, assumed the title of Emperor, and early this year, on the fortieth anniversary of his accession, announced his marriage to his people. No monarch in the world influences its nffalrs less than the Emperor of-Corea, but the American girl has a generous share of the pomps and vanities of kings. She lives In a palace 400 years old. and might have been living In an older palace still if a snake had not fallen from one of its ceilings and frightened VI HI. Five hundred guards protect, hor.

2.000 retainers reside in the grounds, and Just, outside the royal residence Is the entire standing army of the kingdom. She has probably forgotten that she once sang In the choir at the mission church, or that she came to Corea a simple girl of 15, but the memory may come back, tp now, when the dogs of war seem likely lo bo lot loose outside her kingdom. i.ryrfe-'ff 1 1 Strange Is Career of Missionary's Daughter Who Was Married to Corea's Ruler. PROCLAIMED CONSORT LATELY. As Young Girl She Entered Emperor's Household After He Promised to Marry Eer.

London, October 23 Whilo the papers are full of dispatches on the expected war between Russia and Japan over Corea and Man- VHE! The E.o3L,iNG3-?o,xl churla and whilo the readers in tho United States are as much interested as any there a peculiar object of Interest to Americana tho fact that a woman of their race is tho Empress ot Corea Iho only American empress in the world. The progress of Corea for twenty years and more has through turbulence and strife and in the hmt few chapters of its story we read of generals degraded for cowardice, of executed lor treason, of courtiers banished and recalled, of the flight of the king and tho murder of hi queen, and ot all the tragic and dramatic events that follo.v upon revolution. And amid It all there stands, the chief IlKiire of interest yet environed In mystery, Emily Brown, once a singer in a chapel choir, now Empress ot Corea. Even to this remote I'aciflc kingdom the American wife has found her way. Chicago and the United Stales were proud when tin.

daughter oi Mr. Loiter became tho Vtcercin India, the country was elated when Edla llensler married a king of l'ortugal and became an uctual queen in Europe. Hut Emily ltrown Is tho first American girl become a real empress. The story reminds one of uuother strange chapter of politics in the Pacific, of the notorious Shirley Baker, who ran Iho kingdom of Tonga for his own amusement and profit, and gave up his missionary llfo to be Lord High Everything to King George I. Hut the father of Emily llrown had no dark history, such ns stained the reputation of tho missionary king of Tonga.

Ho wns a devout and courageous missionary, the first Protestant to enter the Corean capital, where he had been sent by the Presbyterian Church America. Emily waB his youthful daughter, and his zealous helper in tho mission field. She led the singing in iho mission chapel in Seoul, and it was thus that hor beauly came to be reported to the King. Kings have their own way in Corea, and Is not unnatural that when the King commanded the missionary's daughter to enter his household she should have been so captivated by the prospect that she could not resist. For a time, It is Irtic, Miss Brown refused the royal Invitation, but, having ob tains! the King's promise of marriage at the ah sure.

left the mission church, entered the palace, nnd Is to-day the crowned wife of Yl HI, who six years ngo took the title of Emperor. Her son. If he lives, and if his country keeps its sovereignty, will one day be Emperor, and for the first time in the history of the world the son of nn American woman will be crowned monarch of an empire. The coronation ceremony made "Lady Emily" Empress Om "The Dawn of the Morning," as the native dictionary has It. One wonders if ever before an American girl has tho central figure In so picturesque EVANS On Thursday, October 29, 1903.

Hartshorn. To the Editor of the Brooklyn Eagle: If you will imagine a chalk talker with a blackboard at my side, I will show you some pictures. The first Is Tammany Hall and under it I wrl te This is the house that Tweed built. I remove a portion of the front wall and reveal a great heap of well filled coin bags piled up with many bundles of bank bills, and under it I write: This is the swag which lay In the house that Tweed built. In front of the bugs and bills I now put a large rat, with tho head of a full whiskered, square faced man, and underneath I write: This la Dick who swiped the Bwng which lay in the house that Tweed built.

Then I show you a big cat with the head of an honest faced man, and underneath write: Tills is Puss' Strong, who scotched Dick who swiped the swag which lay in the house that Tweed built. The next picture Is a dog with the head of a little man with a very large mustache, and underneath I write: This is Van Wyck, who worried Strong, who scotched Dick etc. The next picture is a cow with head, neck and fore legs like a man, who has 'a determined, yet pleasant face, and above the cow the dog is sailing and kicking the air, and underneath this picture I write: This is Seth Low, who tossed Van Wyck, etc. Now I show you a maiden, sitting by the trunk of a tree with a milk pall by her side, and upon the maiden's shoulder I put the head of. a smooth shaven, youthful faced man, and under this picture I write: This is McClellun, Tammany'B maid, waiting to milk us and ready to Jade, and oust Seth Low, who tos3ed Van Wyck, etc.

The next picture shows a man with a Roman nose and black whiskers, in the act of kissing the maiden, and underneath It I write: This is poor Grout, the renegade, who kissed McClellan, Tammany's maid, waiting to milk us, ete. The next is a picture of a priest, upon which I put the head of a politician, and underneath write: This is Priest Murphy, the Wantage Lookout, who married McClellan to Fornes and Grout (all kissers of Croker, without any doubt), etc. And next a picture of a rooster, underneath, which I write: This Is the cock that crowed 'lection night, and put Priest Murphy into a fright, etc. The last picture of the Bcrleg Is Father Knickerbocker, evidently In a very happy lrame of mind, and underneath I write: Greater New York, shouting with might, Triumph of Fusion! Doom of red light! Grafters cremated! Tiger's death blow! Square dealB two years more under Seth Low. Congratulations to Fnther Knickerbocker, Who kept the cock that crowed 'lection night And put Priest Murphy Into a fright, Who married McClellan to Fornes and Grout, (All klBsers of Croker, without any doubt), Who will milk us and Jade is If they can, And oust Seth Low, Who tossed Van Wyck, Who worried Strong, 'Who scotched Dick Who swiped the swag That lay In the house that Tweed built.

M. Cape to Cairo Railroad Will Reach Wonderful Place by Year's End. MATURE WON'T BE DISTURBED. Great Flung 13 420 Feet High and Nearly 6,000 Feet Wide, Excelling Grandeur of Niagara. London, October 23 Tho last year in South Africa has seen more real development all along the line than any other in its history.

The British South Africa Company has spent millions of dollars in this work, and the Boers see that U13 loss of Independence has been their gain in tho progress of Improvements. A book might be written on what ha3 been done In a twelve month. One thing of Interest to the world is the extension of railways by this company, which ts simply carrying out the plans of Its chief thinker in times past, when Cecil Rhodes was alive. Its railway from Bulawayo has been pushed so rapidly that the roar of the Victoria Falls can almost be heard by the workmen. It Is estimated that tho road will reach there before the end of the year.

The scenery through which this road In the wilds of Africa Is to pass, is marvellous almost beyond description. It will have to be seen to bo appreciated. It is thought that there will be thousands of visitors yearly over these rails, who will make Victoria Falls a popular tourist resort. Victoria Falls are the greatest In the world and the Wild and Impressive scenery In which they are located is perhaps tho most wonderful In all the globe. Taking a lesson from the enterprising Americans the Englishmen will harness these falls to get power for factories and for tho railway.

There Is unlimited horse power, too great for computation, In tho wild, tumultuous drop of the waters of the Zambesi. Tho British Sou'h Africa Company intends to make this resort attractive for visitors and will not disturb tho wild scenery which they are. There will bo a cleaning up of the debris of ages, and the erection of hotels for the accommodation of visitors, so that the resort may be visited with comfort, but the natural beauty of the place will remain like It has since tho world began. The railway Itself will be hidden from tho falls, and the bridges spanning the Zambesi gorge will be some distance from the cataract, and out of sight of It. In fact, the railway and bridge will be less in evidence than Is the suspension foot bridge at Niagara.

In Its concession to the company formed for utilizing tho power generated by tho Victoria Falls, the Chartered Company, following the example of the American and Canadian goveraments In respect to Niagara, has been careful to insert a provision to the effect that "the Installation shall In no way Interfere with the supreme beauty of these stupendous falls, the like of which Is not to be seen upon the earth's surface," and the power plant Is be Installed In the secoid zigzag below the cascade. Even the hotel, five stories high, and containing 100 bedrooms, which will bo opened In time to accommodate the members of tho British Association on their visit to tho falls In 1A05, Is to be erected at a distance of two or three miles from the falls, and with tho Idea of further preserving the beauty ot the place the Chartered Company has set aside 2,000 acres of land on both banks of the river to bo made Into parks. The park on the south side Is to contain no buildings except the hotel, while the other will be a people's park, with a zoological and other gardens. When the railway from Bulawayo reaches the falls It will be possible to do the return trln from Cape Colony In fourteen days, allowing the tourist four days to spend at the falls. At present the Journey between Bulawayo to the Victoria Falls Is divided Into two stages: Bulawayo to M'banjl, 1110 miles by rail, round trip fare, first class, time occupied, twelvo hours.

M'banjl to the falls, 120 miles by road. Post cart fare, MS each way; time occupied, four days and nights Once accessible by railway, no doubt a constant stream of tourisu will make the 1" niawn in mi wVlr5 Rowing eound or Energetic rVleasures by Police, Causing Many Sore Heads, Cowes the Reds.

Hunday was the day set for the demons! rai ion.

Lieutenant Ctislro of the Insular police acted quickly, on his own responsibility. He distributed his force as best he could and gava orders lo disperse the mobs. Several thousand workiiigmcn, who were on their way to the city from outlying towns 10 take pari In the demonstration, were intercepted at kio Pleiirc.s and ('alalia and turned back. At Kio Picdras 'fifty-seven of tho party wen- arrested. They had started on Saturday afternoon on too: anil looked like Cnxey'a army.

At o'clock on the Marina there was a conlliet between the parndera and the police.

The police took the banners nnd Hags to the police station with the men they arrested. There were in the parade several dozer, black Hags. The police seized about two dozen. Some were plain, while ethers bore Inscriptions in white letters on the black background. The following Inscriptions were noticed on black "Away With the Forakcr "Viva Public Order," "1)111 Hollander." "Misery," "Prosperity," "We Want.

Of all the people nrrested only three were released on bail and many are held on a charge of carrying concealed weapons, largo knives having been found on them. These black Hag demonstrations In Porto Rleo have led to so much trouble that all the municipalities will asked to assist In gaily suppressing them.

Americans here now generally feel that the liberty accorded ur.ibr American laws has degenerated Into dangerous license and that patience la no longer a virtue. The Feilcraclon Libre or Federation of Labor, has Btlrred up most of the''trouble and has been backed by the Spanish presa and by the San Jean News, a little sheet printed In English and Spanish and edited by Ilooart S. Illrd, formerly of Madison. Wis. For months Bird has dally devoted columna to aliasing (Iovernor Hunt's policy and to attacking everything American.

Last week he was arrested with his Mayagues correspondent for libeling the Mayagues District Court and was tied $100 and sentenced to fifteen days imprisonment. The correspondent's punishment was Just, double that of Bird. SHORT ROUTE TO IRELAND. London, October 23 Fishguard Bay. tha most western point of South Wales, Is destined to become nn Important port, for the Great Western Railway will build a line to that harbor In its plan to lessen the distance and time for the trip to Ireland.

Fishguard Buy is only sixty-live miles from tho Irish coast at Rosslare an easy three hours sea passage whence tho Great Southern and Western Hallway Company has an admlrablo service to every part of Ireland. The Orent Western Is shortening its line to Fishguard and making a new and extensive harbor ut Goodwiek, on the bay, with the view of using the Fishguard Itos-lalro route for quick passenger traffic, whilo the existing New Mllford-Waterford route will be retained for tho cattle trade. When the scheme is complete not only will the Bea passage between Goodwiek and Rosslare be several miles shorter than tho mail route between Holyhead and Kingstown, but the rutl Journey between 'Paddtngton and Goodwiek will be some three miles shorter than the Journey from, Eustnn to Holyhead. The making of the harbor Is a Titanic enterprise, lessened 111 cost by the fact that tho Great Western Company is Its own contractor. Tho bay Is hemmed in by hard rocks rising precipitately from tho water's edge.

Tunnels aro bored Into the rocks by compressed air, nnd then Immense charges of a high explosive bring down the cliffs In masses of as much as a hundred thousand tons at a time. The cliffs are being riven away for tho length ot a mile. The loosened rocks aro lifted by cranes, loaded Into trucks, and tipped Into the bay to form a mote, which will be 2.000 feet long, 300 feet wide at the base, tapering to sixty feet at tho top. ABYSSINIAN CLAIRVOYANTS. In King Menelik's Land They Use He-markable Boys as Discoverers of Crime.

Home, October 20 Consul General Skinner, who, by the time this is printed, will be on his way on the United States gunboat Machlas to see King Menelik of Abyssinia, will no doubt have lots ot queer yarns to tell of the habits and customs of that, strange land. He has heard of many of them and before sailing he said he was anxious to sec tho strange sights for himself. He may write several articles of his experiences. Ono of tho weird things In Abyssinia is the I.obasha, or crime discoverer. These are boys not more than 12 years of age, who are put Into a hypnotic trance, and in this slate discover the unknown perpetrators of crimes.

Ilg, a Swiss engineer, who is employed by King Minelik, tells of almost Incredible cases of discoveries of criminals of which he had personal knowledge. In a case of incendiarism in Adis Abeba the Lobnsha was called to the spot and given a cupful ot milk into which a green powder had been put, and then was made to smoke a pipe of tobacco mixed with a black powder. The boy was then hypnotized. After a few minutes he Jumped up and began running to Harrar. For fully sixteen hours he ran, and so swift was his pact thai professional runners were not able to.

keep up with hint. Near Harrcr tho Lnhasha left lite road, ran inlo a Held nnd touched a Galla working there wilh his hand. 'I he man confessed. Another case which the Emperor Menelik and M. Ilg Investigated was that of a murder and robbery near Adis Abeba.

The Lobasha was taken to. the site of the murder nnd put Into his peculiar psychic slate. For a while he ran around the place, then back lo Adis Abeba to a church, which he kissed, then to another church, which he also kissed. Coming to some water water breaks the spell the boy woke from his trance. He was apain hypnotized, and off he went, round some huts, and nt the door of one or them lay down and fell asleep.

The owner of the hut, who woa not in, was on his return arrested. He stoutly denied his guilt, hut some of tho goods belonging to his victim were found In the hut, ami he ultimately confessed. The murderer wns brought before Menelik, who asked him lo detail his dolnga afler the commission of the crime. These were found to correspond with the movements of the Lobasha. He Kald that, overcome with remorse, ho ran to two churches and kissed them.

Menelik wanted to have another proof of the Lobasha's gifts. Ho himself took some Jewelry belonging to the empress. A Lobasha was sent for. He first ran about In the empress' rooms, then into Menelik's own rooms went through other roome, and finally fell down on Menelik's bed. Ilg can give no explanation of this wonderful gifl.

It Is also worth remembering that a very similar method, of discovering crimes wns ascribed to the old Egyptians 4,000 yoara ago. BRIDES FOR SOUTH AFRICANS. Every Outgoing Steamer Has a Number of English Girls Going to Be Married. London, October 23 Hardly mall steamer leaves England for Cape Town without bearing on board an English bride for a sweetheart who haa gone before to provide a home In that land of promise.

Not Infrequently the list of passengers Includes three or four brides, who Ingenuously confide their secret to each other wl'h tho result that the vessel Is seldom many days at sea beforo the brides become known all over the ship. Sailors consider it lucky to have brides on board. Their bridegrooms meet them at tho landing place, and forthwith they repair to a public office to be married by special license, while genial Jack Tars crowd the gangway and throw rice among the brlde'a hair. These marriages are mostly happy sequels to the conclusion of the war, many Yeomen having decided to settlo In South Africa, and bring thither the girls they had left behind them. But there have been exceptions.

Flirtations on board no place equals a ship'd deck for that pastime havo brought bitter disappointment to waiting bridegrooms. Sometimes girls get engaged on the voyage to fellow passengers or members of tho crew, and arrive at the Cape, "off with the old love and on with the new."

"In looking down Into the fissure on the right of the Island one sees nothing but a dense white cloud, which, at the time we visiiett me spot, nan two nriKut rainoows on it. From this cloud rushed up a great Jet of vanor exactly like si earn, and it mounted two or three hundred feet high; then condensing, it changed its hue to that of a dark smoke, and came back In a constant shower, which soon welted us to the sitln. This shower falls chiefly on the opposite side of the fissure, and a few y.irds back from tho lip there stands a straight hcdo of evergreen trees, whose lenves are always wet.

From their roots a number of lit' la rills run bark into Hie gulf, but as they flow down the steep wall there, the column of vapor In Its ascent licks them up clean off the rock, and away they mount again. They are constantly running down, but never reach the bottom." On the left of Iho Island on which he stood, Livingstone describes the mass of water leaping down into the abyss: "The walls of this gigantic crack are perpendicular, and composed of one homogeneous mass of rock. The edge of that side over which tho water falls, is worn off two or three feet, and pieces have fallen oway, so as to give It somewhat of a serrated appearance. That over which the water docs not fall is quite straight, except nt the left corner, where a rent appears, and a piece seems inclined to fall off. Vpon the whole, it la nearly in the state In which It was left at the period of its formation.

The rock Is dark brown In color, except about ten feet from the bottom, which Is discolored by the annual rise ot tho water to that or a greater height. "On the left side of the island there ts a good view of the mass of water which causes one of the columns of vapor to ascend, as It leaps clear of the rock, and forms a thick unbroken fleece all the way. lo the bottom. Its whiteness gave the Idea of snow a sight I had not seen for many a day. As It broke Into Of I may use the term) pieces of water, all rushing on in the same direction, each gave off several rays of foam, exactly cs bits of steel, when burnt In oxygen gas, give off rays of sparks.

The snow-white sheet seemed like myriads of small comets rushing on In one direction, each of whii left behind Its nucleus rays of foam. I nevr saw the appearanre referred to noticed elsewhere, it seemed to be the effect of the maBB of water leaping at once clear of the rock and but slowly breaking up Into spray." In his account, Livingstone rather underestimates the dimensions ot the frills, the actual height 420 feet and the width 1 yards, whilo the height to which the spray rises from the bottom of tho chssnt has been calculated nt 1.200 feet. F. C. Solous, who wrote of tho falls as "the most traiiseendently beautiful natural phenomenon on this side of Paradise," says that the spray cloud can be some times seen fifty miles away.

The native name for the falls Is Mosloatunya, meaning "the smoke that sounds," In reference to the vapor and tho noise. One of the moat remarkable features of the place Is the gorge, which is entirely cut out of basalt nnd runs In a series of sharp zigzags for miles. The mighty river enters the gorge through a precipitous cleft only 1'0 yards In width, at a point called the "Bolllng-Pot," and run's swiftly round the sharp bends, iurnlng round on itself continually, and flowing In contrnry directions.

Representatives of three great powers were there, and It must have been a proud moment for the American Empress when se naw that two of them were England and the United States, with Japan at their side. At the close of the ceremony the new Empress rode by her husband's side through tho streets of Seoul. No detail that would add to the plctur-cnqaeiiess of the procession was lost. It has not yet been forgotten how tho Emperor refused to see a British consul who, having packed up his uniform, called upon him In evening dress, and all the love of pomp which marks the Emperor's life was apparent at the coronation of his second wife. The houses of the capital were closed by royal decrco, and the peoplo of Seoul knelt at their doors as tho procession passed, a now broom In each hand marking their subjection to Yl Hi nnd tho Empress Om.

Two closed sedan chairs bore the royal persons through the streets, and abovo them waved a banner wllh a flying dragon and a red parasol, indicating to the peoplo that tho monarch had shared his throne and power with his bride. The installation of the Empress came about quietly, and to tho surprise of those who read one day In the olllclal "Gazette" that the ceremony was to mark the fortieth anniversary of the Imnerlal accession. But "Lady Emily" had to wilt upon tragic events before she could reap her promised Inheritance.
