Hamilton Rice, which clashed last February near the banks of the Orio- ^ cow with giant cannibals, returned here today from Para on the steamer Alban. P Arriving with Dr. Rice were Mrs. Rice, formerly Mrs. George D. Wid- j. ener, of Philadelphia, who accompanied her husband on some of his South American explorations; Ches- r ter H. Ober, geographer of the ex ? tit n T T< pedition; a. w. owanson, d. n. Mason and Dr G E. Byers. . While exploring an unnamed tributary of the Orinco, Dr. Rice's party ^ was attacked by wild Indians. The t discharge of firearms failed to scare ^ off these savages who were described , as being large and very fierce. The explorers only escaped, it was said, by firing into the savages killing either two or three. The nartv, on the v advice of the guides then turned 3 back. Mrs. Rice w^s not with her husband on this particular occasion. "The cannibals who attacked the e party were almost white in color. Professor Rice said.

COWPEAS i I When the soy bean is compared vith the cowpea it is more valuable n many ways. 1. It will collect more nitrogen rom the, atmospherethan will the! owpea, thus being a great soil im-l rover. 2. The seed will remain on the | round until late fall?November or J )ecember?without rotting, thus ;iving a longer grazing period. 3. It is erect in growth, without; unners, and can therefore be . asily cut for hay or silage. 4. It will resist drought better than he cowpea will. 5. There are varieties of soy beans! hat will mature seed much earlier hat the earliest varieties of cowpeas; ience it can be planted earlier and '1 iter than, the cowpeas. 6. It will produce far more grain ( han will the cowpea; and the richer j he soil the more grain there will be; /hereas the cowpea makes more vine nd less peas. 7. The soy bean matures all its fruit j t once and can therefore be harvest-; d with machinery and the seed re-j noved by common threshing machin-j ry, whereas the cowpea must be1 ticked by hand and threshed by spc-| ial machinery. 8. It is not troubled by weevils andj ither insect pests which injufe cow-j >eas. 9. Its chief advantage over the j owpea is that it is richer in protein j 1 nd fat. It contains an average of jj 5.4 per cent of portein nd 20.4 per,? ent of oil, as compared with 25.U peril 2nt of portein and 1.8 per cent of J il in cowpeas.

Harper. ci COMES OF ANCIENT FAMILY D ,1 J V. nformation has been received from cl jpenhagen that the Danish consul- s< neral in London. J. E. Boeggild, n is been appointed Danish minister Iceland. Mr. Boeggild is widely tc lown in America, having been anish consul in San Francisco and n licago, consul-general in New York d: id commercial adviser to the Danish st eration in Washington. o] dr. Boeggild seems especially fitted tc r the post, as he has Icelandic tt ood in his veins. On the maternal it ie he is descended from the Tulinius D mily of Iceland, which traces its h igin back to Thorfinn . Karlsefni, h le of the famous Norsemen who a scovered America nearly one thouind years ago. Karlsefni, of whom a statue, was 1 icently erected in Philadelphia, was le first white man to settle in Am- t r.cv., spending two years in "Winetnd," where his wife, Gutrid, gave e i:th Lo a bey, whe was called Snorri. t rom Snorri descended a numerous r nd distinguished lineage, .among t ho is numbered the Tulinius fam- <1 v. and the new minister to Iceland t thus lay claim of being descended ^ :o i the first white man born in Alerica.?Detroit News.
