The original fifteen camels were brought

United States government before the war
for the purpose Of packing military stores
across the desert, and were used for that
purpose for two or three years. II was
found that the pebbles and powders were
too severe for their feet, and while they did
very well on the sand of the desert as soon
as they reached the foothills their feet be-
came so sore that they were unable 10
travel. and finally they were turned loose
to take care Of themselves.
For number Of years there were no
white men through the part of the desert
In which they ranged. and rs the Indians
were very superstitious about them they
were not molested until within the last

Recently a friend OF mine, physician,

The death trance and burial alive were the

hasten to embalm. After body is EN-
balmed there is no danger of its coming 10
life again. Never will any OF the bodies
buried by me come to life. l always fix
them so that there is no danger OF such an
occurrence. No one will ever say that

in little town in Minnesota, and one even

We fixed everything up nicely and / went

called again, and what / saw made my
flesh creep. The girl had come back 10
life and was the liveliest dead person
ever saw. She had gone into trance,
during which she had seemed to be dead.
The body looked exactly as though In
death, and the attending physician had de
clared that life was extinct.
"Said the second undertaken: i once had
a man work for me who had a horror OF
such things. lie was a Spaniard, and was
one Of the best men l ever had work for
me. This man always pierced the hearts
Of the bodies he prepared for burial. When
in Madrid, where he learned his trade, he
buried man whom a disinterment proved
to have been buried alive. The authorities
made trouble. He made a vow that he
would never again run such n risk, and he
made it a point ever afterward to thrust a
stiletto through the heart Of everybody he
prepared for the grave

The currents Of the ocean are the great
transporters Of the SUMS heat from the tor
rid zone TO temper the climate Of the polar
regions. Il Is argued by some that such a
stupendous change as that which occurred
in Europe and America in the glacial
period was, caused simply by detection
Of the currents in the northern hem
sphere, whereby It's share of tropical heat
was partly diverted toward the south.
In the three great Oceans-the Atlantic,
the Pacific and the Indian-there is TO be
found similar circulntion-a general
westerly movement in the tropics, flow
toward the poles along the eastern shores
the continents, an easterly set in the
temperate zone and n current toward the
quator along the western shores. This
.ystem thus becomes grand circular
movement, some parts being very slow,
nut still quite constant, and other parts
'ery swift. There are o1shOots here and
here, due to local causes, and perhaps In
he slowly moving current there may be a
temporary interruption, but taken as
Whole the movement is continuous.
The part OF this circulation Aowing
long the eastern coast Of the United
tates is the greatest Of all these currents,
nd in fact Is the most magnificent Of all
ature's wonders. This Is the Gulf Stream.
he name Gulf Stream was first suggested

ne current when IL reaches the Straits Of

CRYING for His silver.

An old sailor was on a wreck in the Bay
Of Bengal. For three days all hands had
been huddled upon the deck of their dis
abled ship, and now they were being
washed of one by one. The captain had
just been carried away. Says the mar
rator:
About an hour afterward another wave
carried overheard the ships steward,
who was a Parsee and like a fish in the
water.
His greed, of. lucre had well nigh done
for him, for he had tied around his neck in
a towel bundle OF silver plate worth a
few pounds He CHANGED to come TO the
surface Just in front OF me, and could see
him plainly. First he endeavored TO tread
water with a view, imagine, to gauging
his position and swimming back to the
ship, but the weight Of the silver carried
him down.
Then he tried to swim toward the wreck,
but he could not keep his face above water
So he began to tumble at the knot behind
his neck TO unite il, and his head kept
slowly sinking lower and lower until his
feet were kicking in the air.
With great effort he righted himself,
