They Don't Bury Thsy Dog. There.


4 letter recently received from al
American missionary in Central Afnca
reveals a curious bit Of superstition ou
the part 81 the natives in regard u the
ourying Of dogs. The letter says: The
king Of Bihe made a great disturbance
because Mr.. Arnot, a Scotch mission
AIRY, buried in the ground a dog which
he had been obliged 10 kill The chief
sent word that this was a crime, and
that the missionary must take up the
body and throw il into the river. After
this he must kill a chicken and sprinkle
It's blood upon the ground where the
dog had been buried.
Nov. il was not deemed best to
anger the king by refusing TO do as lie
commanded. so Mr.. Anot took up tho
body Of the dog and threw II into the
river and paid a fine. All they can
pay with is cotton cloth, and Of this
Mr.. Anot had TO pay forty yards. But
he did not sprinkle the blood Of the
chicken on the ground, because that
would look like paying homage to the
spirits However. there was an old
native who felt that this must be dona

The application of mEOer to wheel
tires has proved a great boon TO BIZ
cyclists, and the increase in this branch
of industry is remarkable. There are
100, 600 bicycles made every year in
this country, and 40, 900 more are i'm
ported AS all these have tires Of the
best rubber. il can be seen that a good
percentage of the worlds supply is alb
sorbed in this way. Each tire weighs
on an average between three and fonr
pounds, and this, together with renew
ais involves a yearly consumption Of
not far from 1000, 900 pounds.

the popular forms. Each Of these,
however, is being further modified and

Ever since the Crimean war many Of
the populous thoroughfares Of Odessa
have been undermined In 1854 a law
was framed by the municipal council
Cdooma), making it obligatory upon
every landlord 70 al up the mine which
opens from his premises But obedi-
ence to that law was never insisted
upon, and the house owners ignored
its existence. OF late several accidents
have occurred where the ground on
the streets and sidewalks caved in and
fell into the mines The municipal
council contemplated the enforcement
Of the law. but the house owner pre-
sent=d a petition against this measure
on the plea that the mines are used a.
cellars for the storage of goods, and il
they should be dlled up their proper
ties would d~eteriorate In value.
Hereupon the city council adopted a
resolution obliging the landlords 70 line
the mines which open into their houses
with cemented walls 50 that the ground
above them should not cave in. In
cases where this cannot be done the
mines must bo filed up. The landlord
who fails 20 do n thing or the Other
will be responsible for all accidents that
may be caused by his negligence, and
be liable 70 an administrative fine ful

tects. moreover. drew up a plan Of all
the mines in the city. marking those
which can be made secure and those

Five leagues from Jalapa, on the road
that goes down 70 TIE hot lands lies
NaOlinco. Of which town they relate
many things that go 70 prove the SUI
perior wisdom and intelligence Of its
inhabitants. They say, for example,
that once when there was much grass
on the church tower, and the matter
was brought up befole the town coun-
al after many plans for getting nd OF
aid grass had been roposed and dis
cussed it was agreed to put a jackass
up there which should a the grass
And the jaekass bling procured and
put upon the tower, not without dim
entity, remained there for the space of a
day well contented, there being a sum
cheney of grass. But early on the morn
ing of the second day, after he had re
peatedly called the attention of the in
hahitants as well as he could to the
fact that there wa 10 more grass, he
endeavored to get down from the tow
err himself, in the doing of which he
broke his neck, and the town council
had to pay for him.
They tell. moreover how a certain
gambler Of these that go around win
ming their cattle from the ''hacenda-
does came into Naolinco once in fiesta
time, when there was much gambling
In progress. And he stood and watched
the game "A while. And he heard how
this man had won 300 head and how
hat man had lost 500 head. and so on.
And he concluded 10 sit down and play
himself a while, which he did. And he
had shortly won over /, 900 head.
And he said he would play no more
that day, and he inquired where he
should go on the day following to re-
ceive the thousand head that he had
won. And they told him in such a
place. And he went there at the time
appointed with several vaqueros, sup
posing that he was to receive 1000
head Of cattle But he received instead
