An ingenious Philadelph!an, who
was formerly an Australian, has patented
shoe with ventilated soles. The valves
in the shoe are made on the same prlnci-
ple as the tricuspid valves Of the heart,
which allow air to enter freely, but close
tightly against anything in fluid form.
These shoes, the inventor claims, are
good in more senses than in one. Not
only will they keep tho feot cool, he says,
but they will also prevent corns, and will
remove the Objectionable odor caused at
the same time.-Philadelphia Record.

"A dispatch from Guthrie, Q. T., says: {:
a Government inspector just in from the
! Cheyenne and Arapahoc Indian reserva-
ton tells Of q large number of strange
deaths among the members of these
| tribes. For nearly week they have been
holding a grand dance on the Washita
river. They dance all night and during
the day feast on melons both green and
ripe. During the past two days nearly
| 100 of the Indians have fallen unconscious
during the dance and fully half Of them
have died. Scores OF others are very
sick. The dance was started by the Indi-
ans to appease the evil spirit and drive
away a malarial fever which has been
prevalent among the tribes all summer,

them.T
