SPLIT STONES OF SAHARA.
Notabi" Rocks OF tho Grea. Desert

Notabi~ Rocks OF tho Great Desert.
fSt. Louis Republicl
Those parts Of the great desert of
Sahara called the Hamadas, which
are among the most desolate parts
of the region, are strewn with in
Vulnerable silicious pebbles which
are literally broken into thousands
of fragments, presenting sharp edges
and clearly defined angles, as though
recently broken with hammer
Sometimes fragments of these pep
bles and bowlders can be found
lying together with their fractured
sides facing each other fitting per-
fectly when brought in contact. For
two centuries the split stones OF
Sahara bafIled the scientists. who
We're at loss for an explanation OF
the phenomenon. AT last the long
looked for explanation has come.
Mr.. j. Brun read an elaborate
article before the Scientific Society
of Geneva, In which he stated and
proved that the stones were actually
split by q curious combination OF
chemical and mechanical actions.
He found by analysis that the sand
of the desert was composed of quartz
gypsum and mari, with traces of
salt. The quartz grains acted under
the influence of the suns rays us
burning lenses upon the gypsum,
rendering 1t hydrous. Tho sand
and fine anhydrous gypsum dust
are driven about by the winds and
cover all the stones large and small; !;
the dust penetrates the little cracks
in the stones, whereupon 1t IL wet
by the dews, which causes IL to-
swell. With continuous accessions
of gypsum and repeated heavy dews
the accumulation of plaster goes on
increasing, the cracks enlarge. aud
in time the stones split asunder.
Jenckyns, whose "Tryp to Ye
Burning Sandes of Africkr Is
among the oldest English narratives
of adventures In the great desert,
also noticed the splitstone phenom-
enon. Translated into modern En-
glish his account, under heading of
"Another of Gods Wonders,n is rs
follows: From the river we trav-
eled due west over the same monoto-
ilOuS stIctCti vi sulu anu ItDDltS.
The natives of these parts say that
1t once rained small stones for eleven
days and nights, covering many
towns and much fertile ground; that
aiterward the witches came riding
jackals, and that they pounded the
pebbles with white flint mallets or
small mauls until they became
sand.
Even now the heat draws out
pebbles from underneath the sand
but these lie but u short time on
the surface until they, too, are pull
verified by the creatures of the nigh t
lwitches). / myself have seen wagon
loads of fractured powders far out
In the desert that must have been
broken by some other than human
agency" The 1890 explanations OF
Brun will doubtless find moro be-
levers than that ofJenckyns, which
was given in 1913.

Colonel Munccy, of Pasco, chair
man Of the committee appointed
to take charge of the matter Of send
ing an exhibit of the products of this
state east in special car, was shown
the telegram, aud from him 1t was
learned that Mr.. Hannaford, general
traffic manager Of the Northern
Pacific, had offered to transport to
Chicago, free of charge, car cou-
tanning such an exhibit, Accord
jngly, n telegram has been sent 10
MIR. y. B. Groat, at st. Paul, asking
for a car, and an answer Is now cx-
pected.
Colonel Munccy, in giving his
opinion OF the matter said:
"Nothing could be done that
would advertise the state more than
this car, in the shape of an object
lesson. Fasteners, having already
had the advertisements, Will, with
out doubt, be much Interested In
viewing the realities.
Nothing could be done that
would be so much to the interest of
our people, and | fully believe they
will do all In their power to send u
splendid exhibit East,
"Several of the cou mites have left
their eXhibits I'm the exposition
building awaiting the action of the
committee, and the counties which
have taken their displays away will
be glad to send fresh exhibits for the
car.
"The commissioner feel fully war
ranted In saying for their several
counties that they will stand their
share In such advertisement.
"This being the case, | feel conf
dent in saying that there will be nc
failure In having IA proper exhibit OF
the great resources OF our wonderful
state made, and In sending the same
east.n
Colonel Muncey also stated that
he would call meeting of the com.
mittee and the commissioners of the
various counties to-day to take some
action in the matter Of the liberal
offer of Mr.. Clifford, and, by that
time, it is probable that an answer
will be received from Mr.. Groat.
Whether or not " favorable answer
Is received concerning the car asked
for, II Is almost certain that the com
mittee will decide to make the dis
play.
Many of the commissioners are in
favor of sending two cars, filed with
specimens of tho mineral and agri-
cultural products Of Washington, in
stead of one, aud this will also be de-
Clled to-day.

Bhc Found Him Out.
fSeattle Telegraph |

As far back as the days of Adam
stories have been going the rounds
about wicked men who deceived
their loving wives with tales of fish
that they did not catch and game
they did not kill, but always
bought In the market before show
ing up at home. But this week
Herbert Haven, the druggist, not
only deceived his trusting wife with
a story of the game he killed, when
he did not kill u thing, and bought
IL in the market, but got found out.
Mr.. Haven has been go ng out hunt
Ing ever since the game season
opened but never yet succeeded in
killing even II sparrow.
His wife becoming tired of this,
made the remark as he started out
last Saturday: Herbert, | would
not mind your going out hunting
so often If you ever killed any
thing.h Then Mr.. Haven regis
tered u vow that he would bring
some game that night-he did, and
his friends have been making game
Of him ever since. All that day he
walked, shot at everything he saw
In the game line, with the usual re-
suit. Finally he started home in
the twilight, empty handed. As
he walked along one ofthe old chest
nuts above referred to popped into
his mind. stopping at the market
on his way home, Mr.. Haven in
vested in four large Malard ducks.
His wife was OF course delighted
with his proves, and the ducks
were duly cooked, eaten and en-
.joyed. Mrs. Havens was so over
come with her husbands success
as n marksman that she boasted of
those ducks to everyone. Thursday
she was in the market and stopped
10 look at some game. The propri-
etor came up and addressed her with
the remark: "Iiow did you like
those ducks the other dayp' "What
ducks?" answered Mrs. II. "Why,
those four mallard ducks your hus-
band bought last Saturday" Tab
leau.
Mr. Haven left for the drug store
at once. Walking in she confront
ed her liege lord with the question:
Herbert, how much did you pay
for those mallard ducks you bought
the other day." Another tableau.
And now If you want to see II mad
druggist just look in the store aud
say ducks in an inquiIing tone
OF voice.

A BARRIER BETWEEN THEM.
Hostile Seighbors Who Have Estab
lished u No Mans Land.
New York Sun.

A little British expedition
steamed far up the Benue branch
of the Niger river in n small steam
launch and finally entered trlbu-
tary of the Benue and explored a
region which no white man has
ever visited before. The most inter-
esting thing about their journey was
the curious experience they had with
the natives.
They had been passing for u good
while through region that was in
habited by Moslem blacks, fruits of
'he rather severe methods of con
version employed by the Arab in
yaders of the Soudan. The country
was very fertile and the people
were numerous; but all of a sud
den, though the country still wore
its usual aspect, and the soil was ap-
parently rich, population entirely
ceased. For a stretch of over TWEEN.
w miles not n hut was to he seen,
nor was single sign of human life
anywhere observed. The expedl-
ton wondered at this remarkable
state of affairs, for the country was
certainly inviting, and they could
not imagine why 1t had no inhab-
itants.
All at once, however, as they
rounded u bend In tho river, they
saw big crowds of natives running
down the slopes of the hills To the
bank. They brandished their spears
ut the white men on the little boat
and told them TO go back, for they
wanted no Moslem in their country.
There was an interpreter on the ves-
sci who succeeded in convincing the
natives that the visitors were not
Moslems, aud thereupon the people
became quite friendly.
Then the reason for this curious
lack of population was ascertained.
When the tribes who had been con.
verted to Islam found that the na

AMERICAN GIRLS.
Nine. Adam Tells How They Appear
Abroad.

In the North American Review
for October is an interesting article
on "Those American Girls I'm Eu-
rope" by Nine. Adam, the famous
literary woman of Paris. She writes
of the young American girl from the
European standpoint. Nine. Adam
compares her to the orchid--"that
flower of richness among all flow
ers. 1t needs more heat and light
than any other. Beautiful, daz-
zling, 1t first charms you by its
strangeness, and then intoxicates
you with its subtle perfume. 1t
lives on air and needs none of the
material conditions of existence for
other plants" etc. Rather u hot
house description of the American
girl. AS to her needing "none oI
the material conditions of ex.
istence," ask her papa, who is
obliged to put up the funds.
Let us quote still further from
Mime. Adam, who, according to
Texas Siftings, although no longer
young, has considerable of the old
Adam left In her. "When the
American girl enters n ballroom or
n large reception I'm Europe the
spectacle is n curious one to the be-
holder. She is always beautiful,
and even were she not, she possesses
originality and eclat--for the latter
word describes her entirely. She
fits rather than walks; from the
moment of her entrance into II
drawing.room she is surrounded by
bevy of admirers, and her pretty
head is always in motion. No one
can see the details of her features,
which are so mobile, nor the lines
of her mouth, which has SO many
diverse expressions.
''IIer glances are like diamonds
whose many facets cause her eyes to
blink beneath their luster. Her
hair is lightly and negligently
knotted, curly, and not arranged
according to good form, giving her
the air chiffopne of the pretty girl
who may be admitted into the ball
room, but not during the bali. She
is arrayed in rather loud though
tasteful gown fitting to perfection.
She is AT ease with all this pack of
admirers and observers does not
trouble her; she answers them all,
talks and laughs loudly, dominates
them all, and If she has made q
choice parades it with boldness
which sometimes e,nbarrasses even
n Lovelace." The picture is not
altogether overdrawn.

/ Boston journal.

Aqueer natural history fairy tale comes
from Scotland. AT Hnddington cut
gave birth to four kittens, and with her
offspring took up her abode in tho gar
den summer.house. Three of the kit
tens were removed, and the lady of the
house, on visiting the summer-house
the next day, was surprised 20 find that
the fourth kitten lad also disappeared
Search was made but to no avail.
Several days passed, and the attention
of tho inmates was attracted by the
somewhat stealthy movements Of the
mother cat. when II was seen to 90 re.
peatedly to IA thick arch oil honcysuckle
in the garden. Here the missing kitten
was found safely cnsconsed in "A black
birds nest. \ better retreat could not
have ueen chosen, as the nest was fully
seven feet from the ground and in tho
thiCkest part OF the honeysuckle. Here
the kitten remained apparently comfort
able in its novel quarters.
