no sawdust around the Saginaw lumber
mills for the reason that it is all used
for the furnace flames /; and, in general,
the cycle of utilities by which one

the fact that the Michigan Central

nothing of the large quantities shipped
from the river by the Flint ~ Pere

PEAKS of the Catskills.

The CatSkill or katZDerg mountains.
were so named by the Dutch on account
of the catamounts with which they
were infested. The Indians called
them the Ontioras or Mountains of the
Sky, by reason of their cloud-like ap-
pearances. Their traditions held that
among these peaks was kept the
treasury of storms and sunshine for the
Hudson valley. guarded by powerful
spirit, who kept day and night impris-
oned. letting them out one at a time.
This spirit made new moons and cut up
red ones into stars. These mountains
with their dark and wide spreading
forests (abOunding in those days with
great variety of wild game) were doubt
less grand hunting grounds for the In
0ians. Settlers of the upper Shandaken
valley in the neighborhood of Pine Hill
often, while tilling the soil, found flint
and arrow heads, etc., which assures us
that they frequented that part, and
aside from that, the scenery and inter-
est of the region to-day fully equals the
quaintness of the old legion. The
mountains are rugged and wild, many
places of them never yet trodden by the
foot of man, full of picturesque beauty.
The forests abound in cold and spark
ling springs, which wind their way
through rayine and meadow toward the
Hudson or Delaware, ferns and wild
flowers grow on all sides, and the smell
of the green moss and foliage, deepened
by the dew and borne on the cool air, is
delicious.
The widest and most unsettled part
of the Catskills are in Ulster county,
and in the towns of Shandaken, Har-
denburgh and Denning and surround
ing the Slide Mountain. which is the
highest of the Catskills. The highest
peaks were always said to be in Greene
county until the past few years.
Measurement has decided the matter
differently, and it is now a well known
fact that the old Slide is the highest
peak in the Catskills lbeing 4, ,220 feet,
and surrounding it the scenery is wild
and romantic Deer and bears are yet
to be found III that part of the noun
tains, For the past fifty years the
eastern face of the Catskills i'll the
neighborhood of the old mountainhouse
and nearest to the Hudson has been a
resort for people seeking rest from city
cares. AT that time the Southern or
Shandaken Catskills very a genuine
wilderness, and very little was known
of them. Occasionally an artest or
sportsman followed up the deep defile
of the Esopus Creek, through the
Shandaken Valley. and crossed over
Pine Hill to the headwaters of the Del
aware Shandaken is an Indian name,
the definition being "Swift Water"
and it is quite probable that this valley
derives its name from the swift flow of
the ESopus. The scenery along its
banks is enchanting and cannot he
equalled in the Catskills.

Southwest Savages.

OF the 10000 Indians located on reser-
vations in the Southwest, the Navsjoes,
numbering Is, 600, have become laryely
civilized. Their possessions in horses,
cattle and sheep are great and valuable.
This tribe is nearly self-supporling, and in
few years will be no burden to the Gov
ernment. While still holding the tribal
relation, their system Of internal govern
ment is exact and just, and for the good OF
all. Only occasionally do the younger
bucks ally themselves with the predatory
Indians and go on the warpath. Essen
italy the NavajOes are good Indians, how
ever strange this anomaly may seem. The
Zunis, small band of ancient stock,
closely allied to the Aztees IN many of
their pecullarItIes, are found on a reservs-
ton in the middle western portion of New
Mexico. They have many interesting
characteristics as a tribe, but some of their
customs are even more barbarous than
esthetc.
Their moon dance, at which time tn,
young men are received into the brother
hood of warriors. Is an orgle of most
heatheuish nature During the latter par
of the month of March Of each year all the
tribe are assembled at once place, guards
are thrown out ON all sides. and no white
man or Indian belonging to other tribes is
admitted WITHIN the festive circle. Around
a huge fire blazing high they dance and
sing IN unrestrAned merriment under the
mellow influence of mescal, a fiery whisky
distilled from the catus. At about mid
night the young men who are to receive
the honors of warriorhood, and thereafter
10 be be known as braves, II they success
fully undergo the o:deal Of imitation, come
into the circle dressed in the uniform of
Patagonian chief, less the nose ring and
nbbon.
. With keen-eiged knives they make two
vertical Sits in the flesh on either breast,
and having fastened there to lsriat OF
raw hide about thirty feet in length,
which is held al the other end by a stake
set firmly in the ground, they begin the
widest incautatlons, moving to and fro in
skipping and dancing attitudes, while the
warriors are indulging themselves In the
innocent amusement of hurting the toma-
hawk, sharp pointed knives and other
missiles of sporting barbara ingenuity al
the novItiates, who in the wild delirum OF
stolid heroIsm must endure their fiendish
suffering until the flesh breaks away and
releases them from the cruel thongs. Their
ceremonies are now inaugurated for q
duration of seven days, when all the tribe
appear, from the Oldest to the youngest,
only dressed in natures primitive gsrb.
Their practlces in the succeeding festiyi-
ties are so hldeus il Is revolving to think
of them. And these indians, too, are
wards of The Government.

Inland Whaling.

On The lake front, Chicago, stands a
blue-painted fiat car, on which is a huge
skeleton with ''story." 1t is of inter-
est to all, for it is the skeleton of ''the
whale'' This was known from Maine
to California, and there was some talk
at one time of sending his lOrdship TO
Europe Every one knew ''the whale, -
and it has been gazed upon by millions
of people in its day. 1t belonged to
Mr.. Fred Englehart, and he organized
what he called ''the Inland Whaling
Company" This meant his employees,
side showmen. ticket sellers, etc. They
had another car built. somewhat like a
freight caboOse. and with hunks, tables,
stove, and coOking-place, all in very
comfortable shape. This car was also
painted blue, and both had finland
Whaling Company on the sides. These
two and baggage and tent car COM
pleted the train. The whale was
stretched out in flabby shape upon this
flat car, and great ropes and chains
kept the huge mass OF flesh from roll
ing off. The attendants had mixture
containing carbolic acid and other dis
infectants to pour over his shiny brown
hide, and this operation was continu-
ally being done while on exhibition.
The mass was therefore always moist.
When the train struck Chicago, adds
the News of that city, which was the
headquarters, side track was built on
the lake front, the tent pitched, and the
whale on his car was run under the
canopy. A little box office was opened.
and that was all. But it was enough.
Crowds poured in to see the monster of
the deep, and when the deep-voiced
talker explained the capture, weight,
habits, etc., of the animal stood up
like pigmy beside the whale, every
one was well satisfied that he had the
worth of his quarter in seeing such a
curiosity, 1t was the only one on ex-
hibition.
Now they should visit him at the
lake front. All that remains of him is
a few Tapping pieces of canvas and rot
ting hide, while the frame work, bones,
and flesh are gone. In their place is a
lot of shavings, old barrels, sticks, dirt,
and the frame proves to be of stout
hickory, bent into whale shape. These
are the bones. The shavings were the
flesh. Some quicklime has eaten up
considerable hide or skin, but the tail,
all, the tail was genuine, though the
rest was delusion and snare.

A Yard of Beard.

Charles Peterman, "a farmer living
just outside the city, states the Kansas
City Times, has probably the longest
beard possessed by any man in that
place or vicinity. He is rather short
man and the beard, which is over three
feet in length, falls below his knees.
But few people would notice anything
peculiar about his appearance, because
he keeps this hirsute appendage tied up
in curl papers and hid away within his
vest. In addition tC its length, the
beard, which covers almost the entire
face, is very thick, and is surmounted
by an immense mustache.
''How long have you been growing
that beard?" he was asked.
''Oh, this is only a seven years
growth. L have had it nearly as long
before, but it was so inconvenient that
cut it off. Its length now Is due TO
my friends, who insist upon seeing how
long it will grow. My wife puts it up
in papers every morning as religiously
as she puts up her own hair"
''Any other members of the family
affected in the same way 2"
Il have six brothers and nine sisters,
all, except one brother, living in Ger
many. All my brothers have extraor-
dinarily long hair. My brother living
in this country is in Vermillion County,
Ill. His beard is a pure blonde, and is
fully as long as mine. which, you see,
is black. My brothers head" eontin-
ued Mr.. Peterman, twas as destitute
of hair in manhood as a billiard ball. -

Doc Middleton, whose exploits as a
highwayman, brigand and desperate
are part of the early history of Colo
RADIO, Wyoming and Nebraska, who
has been serving five years sentence
in the penitentiary for stealing cattle
III the North Park, was discharged
from that institution lately, and imme-
diate boarded the east-boupd train.
He informed the prison officials that
he was going to a new country where
the name of Middleton was unknown,
and where he would have an OppOrtu-
nIty of leading new life among stran-
gers. During his long Imprisonment
he behaved himself like a man, and
conformed himself to the rules of the
prison to the letter, not receiving one
black mark. A few days ago before
his discharge, while 1T work in one of
the shops of the prison, and intently
rejecting ON the few days mt re Of
prison life, he put his fingers too near
the buzz saw, cutting it off. The
prison physician attended to the finger,
and the next day Middleton reported
to the warden that he was ready for
some light work. He was told that he
might go into the hospital for repairs,
if he chose; but he answered that his
service belonged to the State and he
was ready to put in the time faithfully.
During the early days of the Black
Hills excitement Doc and his gang
operated on the road between Cheyenne
and Deadwood City, at times varying
the business of robbing stage coaches
by stealing cattle. Once he was cap
tured and tried by crowd of cowboys
and sentenced to be hanged. His arms
and legs were bound, and he was
mounted on a horse and driven under
limb of large tree, from which rope
hung. \ moose was made and tied
under his neck and the horse driven
away, leaving Middleton suspended in
mid-air Two of the members of his
gang happened to be in the neighbor-
hood, and after the cowboys had ridden
away they cut Doc down, and after
two hours hard work resuscitated him.
For several years after the occurrence
it was claimed that Docs ghost haunted
the territory, and innumerable stories
were written of its exploits. One night
the ghost attacked Il stage coach, and
one of the more courageous passengers
shot at and wounded the ghost, which
proved to be the veritable Middleton
in the guise of a ghost
and carrying ON his usual avOcatiOns-

Caterpiilars.

The hairy caterpIllarS are now lnfest-
ing the trees, and an eminent entOmo-
logist i'll New York was recently ask
ed:
iDo not the birds eat these caterpil-
lars s" asked the reporter.
"No. | know of no bird that will
eat them. The sparrows did eat the
measuring worms that were SO plentiful
here few years ago, and that nuisance
has now about disappeared. The pre-
sent nuisance is what is known as a
hairy caterpillar. They multiply very
rapidly. / have counted 234 eggs in a
space about Ito by z inches. Each
one of these eggs was capable of becom-
ing a caterpillar"
''Is there no other insect that preys
upon these 2"
"Yes; there is a sort of fly, the
tachina, but there are not enough of
them. | am satisfied that the only way
to save our trees is for the authorities
to employ some one to kill them off.
Boys could do it. 1t would require
some one to climb the trees and collect
the worms and eggs and burn them"
"What is the course of propaga-
tion ?"
First you see this bundle OF eggs l
have spoken of. They are laid by the
females ON the cOcoOns. In about four
teen days these eggs are Matched into
caterpillars. The caterpillars live upon
the soft part of the leaves of the trees.
Y ou may see plenty of trees now with
out a whole leaf. Then the trees in
time die of lung complaint, for the
leaves are their lungs. Each caterpil-
lar will eat say twelve or fourteen times
its weight of leaves, until it gets to be
about an inch and tenth long. Each
caterpillar discharges its skin about
four times before it gets its growth. 1t
then weaves its cocoon of silk and the
hair of its own body, and then under
goes its change to the chrysalis state and
becomes a moth.
1.-The species is well known to ento-
mologists," continued Mr.. Edwards.
g 1t is indigenous to this country, and
has been known ever since entomology
was studied here. 1t was described by
Abbott and Smith in 1924 among the
lepidopterous insects of Georgia. You

increase when one insect lays 234 eggs.
Fortunately, the rain kills many, and
other causes intervene to keep down the
supply. l was glad to see that the
voracious insects spared the tulip trees.
"The destruction Of our city trees is
pitiful, and some decisive action is need
ed to prevent its further progress.
When very hungry these caterpillars
will eat pear and apple trees, and the
possibility that they may yet be numer-
Gus enough to get into that sort of busi-
ness should be sufficient to stir up some
official action to prevent it
