The Digger Indians live in little huts
made of poles covered with grasses or tule
leaves, though some of them have canvas
tents which doubtless they have obtained
from miners. Their lives are bounded by
one horizon-to get all they can to eat or
drink without working for it, or hunting,
which is about as bad, in that it entails fa
tigue The children are tenderly treated
by their mothers, and their presence ig
nored by the fathers. They live in dirt
and squalor and are utterly ignorant, lav-
ing apparently no religion or principle,
and the only thing that lifts them above
the level of the beasts is that they collect
and prepare such food and shelter US nat

sons some of them go to the seashore,
where they gather and cat the mussels,
limpets and abalones that they find among
the rocks, and they move about as the
grass or supply of food requires, but this

service all the world over In lS45 he
fought against the Maoris, and was men
toned twice in the dispatches. He served
in India twice, and was thanked by the
Indian government, q most unusual honor.
He served the second time in 1857, in the
Indian mutiny, when he was five times
mentioned in the dispatches and was rec
commended for the Victoria Cross, but his

she "felt it in her bones" the little fellow
thought it the queerest thing he had ever
heard of. His mother didn't come, how

When the sun sets in the sea a curious
appearance, as of a blush green flame, is
sometimes observed This has been thought
to be due to the light passing through the
crests Of waves. But Nature tells that
this view is disproved by an observation
made by Professor Lange at q watering
place on the Baltic. Shortly before sunset
the disk was divided in two by thin strip
of cloud and just as the upper part disap-
peared under the cloud the blue flame was
observed. Thus the cause appears to be in
the air. not in the sea. 1t is case of at

For many years the only important OBJ
ject in regard to sewage seemed to be how
to get it out of the way, and that, indeed,
with some variation, is still the burden Of
the inquiries on the subject in all populous
places where the retention Of offensive re-
fuse is recognized us an evil, and where
many other things are postponed to the
great cause of public health. In some
communities the solution of this problem,
even in very ancient times, was substan-
TALLY what it is now in the best severed
cities; that is sewage was carried to dis
tant points by a current of water flowing
through close pipes. Even in the city OF
Jerusalem this system was in operation In
the days of Solomon, and modern engin-
GERS have discovered the remains of the
system, and thus proved an interesting
fact as to which history was silent save for
few vague phrases here and there.-Har-
