The Government Typographical Surveys.
WAsHINGToS, D. C., January 9.-The work
of the topographic and geologic survey in
Kansas in the past six years. has been con-
fined to the making of topographic map
of the state, and this when completed, will
be the basis Of the geological survey. The
work began SIX years ago, and only three
tourths of the state Is now surveyed, so that
u VIII probably take two wears to complete
the work. Il will be an expensive map, too,
Tor by the time it is finished its cost TO the
government Will be fully 10000. The map
VIII give the location and height OF every
mi, the location of every valley, all streams
aud rivers, the principal roads ana railroads,
cities, villages, political boundaries etc.
Major Powell, director Of the survey, said ::
he work Of making topographic map is
well along; this map, which Is 80 far along
that We VIII probable be able to make start
on the geological survey next year, Is the
basis for all our opera ions. Kansas Is IN
great need OF geological survey. We Will
De able 10 discover tine extent of the coal,
lead and zinc mines, and the extent of the
salt deposits of that state; the value of the
clays for brick, potieries, etc. The outcome
Gt the geological survey viii be a report on
the mineral resources of Kansas, q report on
the geological structure of the state and a
the topographic map of Kansas, We will be
aDie TO make a more syst emaiic inYestiga-
Ton OF the lrrlga ion problem of that region
Than could be otherwise made. We Will
know how best to utilize the waters of tho
streams OF Kansas, and how to store the
storm waters in reservoirs throughout the
state; then too, We viii be able to learn
something as to the extent and accessibility
of The underground waters of western Kan
sas. So you sEe there is a great deal in this
geological survey for Kansas, and we will
push the work in that section with all the
rapldlty possible

Of the braves in tile Apache region
prepare their deadly arrows, says tho
Pomona (Cal.) Progress. Although
the Apacfies have had little or no use
for their poisoned weapons for years,
still they. because of tribal instinct.
each summer season go through an
annual preparation of their arrow tips
as carefully aud methodically as If au
old-time war were near at hand.
The work on the arrows is one piece
Of labor that the Indian bravo will no,
leave to the squaws. lie gathers
dozen or more rat,lcsnakc heads aud
puts them in spherical earthcn ves-
sci. With these he puts half pint of
a species of large red ant that is found
in many parts of Arizona. The bite
of this ant rs more poisonous than that
OF a bee. Upon these he pours bit
of water, and then seals up with moist
earth the lid of this vessel. lie then
digs a h le two feet deep into the
ground, in which he builds roaring
fire and puts in some stones. When
tho interior of tho hole aud the stones
are red hot he makes a place in the
bottom Of the earthen vessel aud puts
it in. About il and upon il he puts
the Goals aud hot stones, and upon the
top he builds a fierce fire and keeps iL
up for tweniy-four hours. Then he
Olga out his vessel and, standing of
with long pole, he disengages the
top and lets tho fumes escape. The
Indian insists that if the fumes should
come in his face they would kill him.
Tho mass left at the bottom of tue
vessel is dark-brown paste.
To test the efficacy of his con
cociion Mr.. Hawks has seen an Indian
with his hunting knife make cut in
his bare leg. just below the knee, and
let the blood run down TO his ankle.
Then taking stick, he dipped it into
the poison and touched the descending
blood at the ankle. 1t Immediately
began to sizzc, as If it were cooking
the blood, aud the poison followed
tho blosd right up the leg sizzling its
way, until the Indian scraped the
blood oil with the knife. The savage
assured Mr.. Hawks that had lie
llowed the poison to reach the mouth
of the wound he would have been a
dead uan in twenty minutes.
