The Earth,s Cloud Belts.

The researches of NJ. Teisserenc de
Bort show a marked tendency of the
earth's %cloudiness throughout the year
to arrange itself in parallel to the
equator. a belt of maximum cloudi-
ness may be traced near the equator,
two bands of light cloudiness extending
from Is to 35 dogs. of latitude north and
south, and two zones of greater cloudi-
ness between As and 60 dogs, beyond
which the sky seems to become clearer,
toward the poles. These zones have a
noticeable tendency to follow the sun in
its change of declination, moving north
ward in spring and southwark in fall.
The zones of clear sky correspond with
regions of high pressure. The distribu-
ton of cloudiness is a direct consequence
of the course of the winds. -Arkansaw

lit is a source of wonder to the
whites, p" says Mr.. McFadden, ''that the
bodies of Gen. Custer and his brother
Tom We're not mutilated in the massacre.
1t is well known that the treacherous
chief Northumberland had sworn that he
would eat Tom Clusters heart. The way
he came to make that threat was this:
'Rain-in-the-Face had committed some
depreciation in Nebraska for which he was
wanted by the United States officers
horse stealing, / think it was. He took
refuge at Standing Rock. and Gen. Gus
ter sent a sergeant with 9 detail from
Fort Lincoln to bring him in. The
sergeant was compelled to return with
o u his prisoner. The general then said
to his brother, Tom, go to Standing
Rock and bring back Rain-in-the-F Face or
leave your own body there The cap
tain, who never refused to obey orders,
started on his erraud with a detail of cav
airy.
1T so happened that the day ne
reached Standing Rock was the day on
which 'rations were issued at the agency.
There We're fully 5000 Indians at the
place. Capt. Custer placed his detail so
as to surround the trading post. He dis
mounted, and, with a revolver in one
hand and a sword in the other, entered
the building. When he got inside he
asked, Where is Northumberland
Silence fell on the room, which was
crowded with friends of the chief. The
captain then told the interpreter to point
out Rain-in-the-Face This was done,
and stepping up to him the intrepid
cavalry officer placed the muzzle of his
revolver at the Indians head and said:
'Rain-in-the-Face, I wan you. If
you make an attempt to escape I'll shoot
you. If your friends interfere 1 will
blow your brains out. 1 have but one
life to lose, and if they shoot me you will
die also

San Pedro is a place of summering, a
villegiatura for wealthy ~Guadalajara
families, who pass there the months of
September and October. June 10 is OBJ
served as a great festival, for on that
date, 1921, San Pedro seconded the cry
of independence, raised by Iturbide in
Yguala. 1t is a drowsy little town, with
pottery, pottery everywhere. But let
not the stranger prepare himself for i'm
mense kilns nor extensive factories. In
a 6x10 room with a mud floor and two
or three reed mats, a table and two or
three gaudy, highly colored pictures of
saints for furniture, squat two or three
Indians, yes, of the barefoot, white cot
ton drawered class of citizens. If they
make cups, TASKS, etc, they may have a
little hand lathe and some molds; other
wise, the clay, a few wooden spatulas, a
knife or two and their fingers are the
implements, while a little furnace may
be found out in the garden, covering
away behind noble ounce trees or over
laden mangoes. Perhaps a dozen little
clay plpkins on the pine table hold the
pigments used for coloring the wares.
But the variety of vessels and toys is
infinite, and, in the finer grades, the
work is marvellous. Water sets, bottle,
Cray, cup ana StOpple, OF exquisite nnlSh;
money banks in the form Of ducks, pigs,
fish, and myriad shapes of fruit and flow
ers, now conventionalized, now true to
life; a thousand types of ~woodmen, beg
CARS, gentlemen. soldiers, each with his
own individual expression so faithfully
copied that n seems to SAVIOR the ices of
the nevero and hear the unearthly howl
of the blind fiddler, with his cleaning
teeth and hollow mouth where the raised
tongue fairly seems to wiggle. 1t is
strange enough that many of the best
varieties Of this ware are never seen on
sale elsewhere, not even in the City of
Mexico. Strangely, too, these artisan
artists are not clever at modelling ONE
Few of their types are feminine, MOI are
they successful at the portraiture of
women in the busts which they model
from life after five minutes study of a
subject. They charge dear for these
busts, though; one hardly cares to pay
$40 or $12 for a Of clay, which
may go to pieces in a hard jar on the
railway. H. Adds in San Francisco

As Old as the Exodus.

A most interesting experiment culmi-
mated the other day in the raising of some
wheat grown from seeds as old as the
Exodus. The experimenter is David
Drew, who last year received from a
friend in Alexandria, Egypt, some grains
of wheat taken from a mummy exhumed
near the ruins of Memphis, and belong
ing, it is believed, to the period of the
Ninth Dynasty, which would make it
grown about 5000 B. c., or be nearly
5000 years old. He planted the seed
early in the spring, and carefully nursed
it. 1t grew rapidly, and at the time of
cutting measured from six and a half to
seven feet high. The leaves alternate on
the stalk like common wheat, but the
product of the plant is the most singular
part Of it, for, instead of growing in the
ear like modern corn, there is a heavy
cluster of small twiSs in place of the
spindle which hangs downward from its
weight, and each twig is thickly studded
with kernels, each of which is in a sepa-
rate husk. From what is threshed q
larger crop will be grown next year, as
the result proves this ground to exceed
in quality anything that the modern
grain can grow.-Plymouth (Mass.) Cor.

New Yorli's charities are something
enormous. That a million of dollars are
given to the poor of this city every year
could easily be shown, but that doesn't
touch the question. This matter is some
thing that affects our social structure
from corner stone to cap sheaf. 1t is
employment these people need. Self
support is the first essential in the great
problem of self respect. No man who
lives on borrowed money, no man who is
the recipient of continuous charity, can
respect himself. The meanest and cheap
est mar who walks the streets has his
moments of sober thought, and it is these
moments Of sober thought which will
ultimately breed trouble in this city,

What Protection Costs.

The tariff laws of 1918, 1896 and 1912
resulted in large part from clamor thus
arising. And 50 we have gone on, inflict-
ing on ourselves taxes more and more
severe each time, a if the afilitions brought
on us by our transgFc ssions of the laws of
trade were not punishment enough, scourg-
ing ourselves till the measure of our punish
mcnt has reached an average Of forty-seven

invoice price of the foreign goods we are
permitted 10 import, amounting in all TO
some two hundred millions a year? No.
that money goes into the Treasury, and can
hardly be said TO be lost 10 Us. but putting
money into the United States Treasury is
not what protective tariffs are for. They
are imposed To make homemade goods

made dear, otherwise called protected
