Referring to the proposed action of the Sioux
Falls convention the Cincinnati Times-Star
says that the advocates of the scheme. if sin
cere in their purpose, show an inxensable igno-
and of its history during. the past quarter of a
centuGSy: ~ How they can hone by declaring 'We
are State" to buldoze congress into recogniz-
my them as such. when all the southern states
failed to compel the government to accept
their declaration that I'VE are nation," and
recognize them as such, is inconceivable.
This is not parallel case. The effort
OF the south was to get away from the
union and break it up. The effort of
Dakota is to get into the union and give
it additional strength.

Dakota's executive became very much
enraged at the reference to his action re-
garding the constitutional convention
bill which was passed by the legislature,
and savagely accosted the chairman of
the committe on resolutions, Hon. H. J.
Campbell, in the Office of the Wright
house last night. Judge Campbell
treated the excited governor in a dieni.
fed manner, but did not fail to stoutly
support the charge made in the resolu-
tions. The governors principal reason
for not having signed the bill referred to
is that it was an insult to him because it
did not confer upon him power to ap-
point anybody.

Where Birds Eat the Dead.

"The Towers of Silence are five in
number and stand within an Enclosure
measuring about eighty thousand square
yards. There are also within the in
closure house of prayer for persons
attending funeral, temple in which
the sacred fire is kept always burning
and from which its rays, escaping
through aperturcs in the wall, fall upon
the towers, and II well laid out and well
cared for garden. In the garden is an
excellent model of tower. which is ex-
planned to visitors by the attendants.
The corpse of deceased Parsee, cloth
ed in white, is carried up the hill on an
open bier covered with white cloth; the
male relatives and friends, all clothed in
white, following in pairs, each pair hold
ing n handkerchief between them. Some
prayers having been said in the rest
house. the bier is again taken up and
the body conveyed to one of the towers.
These towers are round. maSsive-l looking
buildings. with white plastered walls, the
circumference of the largest of them be-
ing 276 feet and the hight of the wall
twenty-five feet. At Il distance of three
feet from the ground there is door in
the wall, through which the corpse-bear-
ers push the body. and then. entering
themselves, place it in its appointed
place. The interior of each tower, which
is open to the sky, is covered, at hight
of twenty-five feet from the ground, with
a circular floating, which slopes down.
wards on all sides to the center and con-
tains numerous open grooves or receipt
acles for dead bodies.
The outer ring of this flooring is set
apart for The bodies of men, second
ring for those of women and O third or
innermost for those of children. Atregu-
lar distances, radiating channels inter-
sect these rings. The body having been
deposited in its place, the bearers retire,
and Immediately swarm of vultures,
which birds of prey may always be seen
sitting in dozens or the tops of the walls,
swoop down and strip the body of every
particle of flesh in less than two hours.
After few days, the corpse-bearers re-
turn, and, collecting the bones, which
are then perfectly dried, place them in
the central well, forty-five feet wide,
where they remain to be decomposed by
the air and the rain. The moisture runs
off into the ground through filters of
charcoal and sand. and leaves nothing
of the human body in the inside of the
tower but the dry, crumbling bones.--

would groan under. his same ignor-
ance exists to-day. The majority still
believe that hard manual labor affords
better exercise than can any system of
artificial gymnastics; whereas, instead
of the equally developed elastic body re-
sulting from gymnasium-training, we
have in the laborers a stiff-jointed,
clumsy, ill-proportioned body. In the
fifty years since the introduction into
this country of systematic body-train-
ing, there, nevertheless, has been great
gain in the popular estimation of its adj
vantages, as is shown by the almost
countless systems that have received
ephemeral patronage. Witness the in
Vulnerable pieces of gymnasium ap-
paratus that have been advertised, and
widely believed, to prevent or to cure
all manners of woes and ills. At one
time it is the spiromcter, which, if blown
into daily, will prevent consumption;
then it is a patent kind of lifting-ma-
chine by which man may soon learn to
lift a ton; or rubber bands which delud-
ed purchaser would surely find it easier
to stretch as the rubber grew older.
This long list of nostrums it is impor-
tant for us to notice as in great measure
accounting for the distrust many intel
ligent people have of the whole subject
of gymnastics. In their ignorance they
have believed the quacks, and, having
suffered at least in purse, they are shy
of the subject in general. The fact is
plain that their distrust is because more
good has been claimed, and has been
temporarily believed, to result from the
use of one especial kind of exercise
than could reasonably be expected from
all kinds together. Honest efforts have
meantime been made to introduce sys-
tematic exercise. Dio Lewis twenty
years ago carried on in Boston normal
school of gymnastics. Several hundred
teachers were graduated, and for time
were in considerable demand. Later,
DR.. Lewis had great girls school in
Lexington, where, in Bloomer dress and
broad-soled boots, girls were certainly
taught to walk long distances. The new
system, as he called it, contained this
principal innovations: Exercise was to
be by couples holding rings or wands,
and with music the doctor enthusiastical-
" believed that he had borrowed all the
/ charnf of the dance, but it was found
that, unlike dancing, in his evolutions
all the fun was in learning how, and
now his system is quite forgotten

GYMNASTICS in the United States.

Coming now to our own country. we
find by the year 1926 gymnastics taught
in a private school at Northampton,
Massachusetts, by q Professor Beck, who,
q few years later published translation
of Jahn's system. The school seems to
have attracted considerable attention,
but we can easily imagine how silly such
artificial exercise must have seemed to
those whose backs ached from their daily
work. Little prepared were our New
England parents to understand that, by
this kind of exercise, backs and limbs
could be developed that would easily
carry burdens which unframed muscles

the recent severe winter friend was in
the habit of throwing crumbs outside of
his bed room window. the family have
fine black cat, which, seeing that the
crumbs brought birds, would OCCASION

untouched, and during the night light
fall of snow occurred. On looking out
next morning my friend observed puss
busily engaged in scratching away the
snow. Curious to learn what she sought
he waited and saw her take the crumbs
up from the cleared space and lay them
one after another on the snow. After
doing this she returned behind the
shrubs to wait further Developments
This was repeated on two other occa-
sions." Now, we learn from DIR. Klein
that the cat which he watched had also
indisputably established definite asso-
citation between crumbs already sprink-
led on the garden walk and sparrows
coming to eat them; for as soon as the
crumbs were thrown upon the walk the
cat used to conceal himself in neigh
boring shrubbery, there to await in am
bush the coming of the birds. Ia this
instance the reasoning observation of
the animal-"crumbs attract birds,
therefore will wait for birds when
crumbs are scattered'-was as CON-
plete as in the first stage of the feline
proceedings recorded by DR.. Frost. but
the reasoning in the latter case seems to
have proceeded a step further-''there-
