Last OF the POttawatOmies.

The remnant of the Pottawatomi
tribe of Indians who are now domiciled
on their early hunting grounds in South
western Michigan are the descendants of
the band that drove the eighty Illinois
Indians on "Starved Rock" sat down
about its base and camly waited until
the last of their victims had persisted.
They are pretty good Indians now from
force of circumstances. They work az
much as they must, wear the clothes of
civilization, drink tirewater, cling to
their old language and confess their sins
to the good priests, for the Pottawato-
mics have been within the fold of the
church since Father Marquette estab-
lished mission among them. For the
rest, they preserve the purity of their
race, and have a sociable habit of not
understanding English when it suits
them. Chief Pokagon is the last of the
PottawatOmie chiefs. When he goes to
the happy hunting grounds, whittier
have countless numbers of his ancestry.
there ends all that is left of old tribal
customs, chiefs, warriors and their
succession of authority.-(Chicago Her

The Tyrant Man.

''Being keen Observer" unused Mr..
Greathead, II am greatly impressed
with the manifest tendency of the strong
to inflict pain upon the weak. l have
found this to be true not only from my
observations of the animal kingdom, but
also from my studies of that bundle of
inconsistencies, man. l have noticed
that an individual clothed in q little
brief authority is prone to take adj
vantage of the unfortunate persons who
may be subject to his commands.
II passed large office building the
other day which was in process of erec-
ton, and hearing loud and angry voices
stopped to ascertain the cause of the
disturbance. The millionaire who
owned the property was displcased with
the manner in which the work of con-
struction was being carried on and was
rebuking the head contractor most vol
ubly. paused to witness the outcome
OF the affair. When the owner had de-
parted the head contractor abused his
superintendent roundly, and the super
lntendent then in good set terms swore
at the master mason and the captain of
the hod-carriers. These individuals
made it uncomfortable for their infeIi-
ors, and the masons and the hod car
riers addressed most disrespectful and
abusive invectives to the man in charge
OF the engine used to hoist their materi-
ais to the upper stories, complaining
that he was slow in the performance Of
his duties. Then the engineer struck
the fireman with his clinched fist, and
the fireman relieved his feelings by going
out and kicking dog which was enjoy
ing the shade across the street. Thus
do the weak suffer and the dumb ami
mails undergo hardships on account OF
the perversity of the tyrant, man.

The Worlds Wheat Supply.

The annual report of the Hungarian
Minister of Agriculture, recently pub
lished, presents many interesting figures.
It estimates the worlds production OF
wheat this year at 2, 270, 900, OCO bushels,
against the official average Of 1850 ,OOO,-
600 annually for the last ten years. The
deficits to be filed by the importing
countries will require 310, 900, 600 BUSH
els. and the surplus available in export
ing countries is almost sufficient to
supply this shortage 78, 6Ga, coo BUSH
els. The countries showing deficit
are Great Britain, France, Germany, Italy,
Austria. Spain, Norway and Sweden. the
Netherlands. Switzerland. Belgium, Den
mark, Portugal and Greece.
It is a significant fact that Great
B. itain shows by far the largest deficit.
Her product is less than one-fourth OF
what she needs. the deficit amounting
to no less than 1874, 427, 900 bushels. In
deed England has to depend on outside
sources not only for her wheat hut for
all her food supplies, and in the event of
war with strong naval power, whose
cruisers would prey on British commerce,
she would run the risk of having
1dlulIlC W ucdl Will. AC OuAsSN Os"SSSs
on the other hand, has not only enough
to supply its own demands but nearly
70, 600, 600 bushels to spare. her product
being over 397,OOO.OO0 bushels. Not
only in regard to wheat but all the food
staples, the United States has more
than enough to supply its own needs.
Herein is an element of strength whose
importance cannot be over estimated.
OF the other countries: frances pro-
duction is nearly 28l millions and her
deficit nearly AZ million bushels; Ger
many's product. nearly Of millions and
deficit about 25} millions; the product
of Italy is 1872 millions and deficit over
224 millions; Austria, product AL mil.
lions, deficit nearly 40 millions. Russia
exhibits the largest surplus. nearly 80
million bushels; her product is 343, O0O,-
600. which is 81 million bushels less than
that of the United States. India is third
as wheat producing country. her pro-
duct being nearly 275 million bushels and
her surplus 42} millions. The countries
showing surplus are Russia, the United
States, India. Hungary, Roumania,
Turkey. Bulgaria, Servia. Canada, Africa,
Australia, Argentine and Chili.-[N. Y.

French in the Telephone.

The Erench language, it appears, is
better adapted to the purpose of the tele.
phone than the English. 1t is stated that
the large number of sibilant or hiss syl-
tables in English renders it less easy
and accurate means of communication.
Some English words are especially diff
cult ct transmission by telephone. The
word soldier" is cited as one of these.

FAMOUS FIGUREHEADS,
Origin of the Custom Of Putting I hem
ON Vessels.


William Rush's father was ship car.
penter and from his youth the son was
fond of ships. Often when boy he
would cut out miniature vessels from
blocks of wood and exercise his artistic
talent in drawing upon boards figures in
chalk and paints. When he commenced
work in this country there was no demand
for the productions of native sculptors,
consequently to make living Rush was
obliged to carve prowheads for vessels,
then in common use. BY 1900 he had
attained considerable reputation as a
sculptor and carver in wood, and time mo
tured his talents.
At an early date in his career his fig
ureheads began to be noticed in foreign
ports. The figure Of an Indian trader
on the ship William Penn was much ad.
m:red in London. The wood carvers
there. it is reported, would come in boats
and lie near the ship to sketch designs
of the fgureheads. This was but q few
years after the Revolutionary war.
Another notable prowhead which Rush
carved was the figure Of a river god for
the ship Gauges. So we'll known abroad
did his work at last become that the
house of Nicklin & Griffith, of Phila-
delphia, received many orders from Eng
land for figureheads to be made 10y Rush
to adorn ships built on the other side of
the Atlantic. One of the most celebrated
of the carvings was a female figure of
Commerce.
In 1911 Benjamin H. Latrobe delivered
lecture in Philadelphia before the
Society of Artists. In speaking of Rush's
figures for the prows Of vessels he said:
''There is motion in his figures which
is incontrovertible. They seem rather to
draw the ship after them than to impel
the vessel. Many of them are of exquisite
beauty. have not seen one on which
there is not stamp of genius. "-IE.

now TO VIEW PICTUREA
They May BE Seen More Perfectly with
One Than with Two Eyes.

They May Be Seen Moro Perfectly with
One Than with Two Eyes.
Although the relief of solid object Is
best seen with two eyes, yet 1t is equally
true that vision with ono eye is superior
to two for some purposes, says the
Philadelphia CAL. In looking at an oil
painting. the surface of which is covered
with varnish, the figures and objects
represented appear more distinctly when
examined with one eye only.
The varnish reflects the light which
falls upon it to each eye-when both are
open-and from objects in various parts
of the room, therefore, by shutting one
aye q quantity of the reflected light is
shut out, and the mind then contem-
plates the picture with less disturbance.
All painters arc we'll aware of this fact,
hence they generally examine oil paint
ings under bright light by monocular
vision.
The pictures in room or gallery hav-
ing sidelights shoui1 always be viewed
with one eye closed. the open one being
that which is best shaded from the light.
The light which falls in greatest quantity
on any one eye diminishes its sensibility
to the red rays and gives false coloring
to the pictures.
A Photographic picture is seen more
perfectly with one than with two eyes,
it being plane surface, the one eye is
not SO much troubled in adjusting the
pupil while examining the different
points, and, besides. as it cannot appre-
ciate distance so well as two eyes. the
light and shallow, although on plane
surface, actually appear ss if the objects
represented in relief
There are three kinds of relief when
we look at picture on plane surface.
such as dagucrreotype, viz. ocular, with
two eyes, modoculcr with one, AMI BIZ
nocular, when two pictures of the sane
figure are combined, as in the stereo-
scope. If we look at any one Of two
stereoscopic pictures with two eyes it has
very little relief if we look at it with one
eve, but when we look at the two pie
lures combined in the stercoscope, the
relief is perfect, giving an accurate rep
resentation of the original, if the pic
torres have been taken at proper angles
for two eyes, at about three inches apsr:.

AN ELECTRICAL DETECTIVE.
Novel Way in Which a Murderer Was
Brought to Confession.

Those who are accustomed to frequent
the courts in which murder cases are
tried find themselves drifting into the
habit of attaching great significance to
actions, gestures and expressions which
under ordinary circumstances would cs-
cape notice. A prominent electrical
journal relates how this habit led to the
conviction of murderer through the
aid of electricity. The murder had
been one of unwonted atrocity and the
prisoner appeared absolutely indiffer-
ent.
In fact, it was impossible for the
kcenest eye to detect any change in his
countenance or attitude during the ex-
animation of the witnesses who gave the
most damaging testimony against him.
The prosecuting attorney, however,
noeiced that he never once relaxed his
hold on the arms of the chair in which
he sat, but seemed to support himself by
the pressure which he brought to bear on
them. Knowing that under intense men
tai excitement, no matter how outwardly
calm an individual may be, the hands
will involuntarily contract and relax &C.
cording to the intensity of the emotion
and the susceptibility Of the person af-
fected, the counsel saw here chance of
securing evidence of great value.
He thought that II the arms of the
chair could only be made to communi-
cate the pressure of the Invisible con.
fractions of the muscles of the hands
and arms of the witness, an important
light might lie thrown on the case. He
called an electrician to his aid, and dur
ing the absence of the prisoner from the
court room the arms Of the chair were
removed and split in half and in each
was placed hard carbon plate, which
served as a variable resistant. Wires
were run from metal plates, placed on
either side Of the carbon, through the
legs of the chair and under the floor to a
telephone receiver and battery placed in
an adjoining closet.
The arms were again upholstered and
the chair replaced. Every increase in
pressure on the arm of the chair now
affected the carbon, which, acting as a
transmitter, caused sounds to issue from
the mouth of the receiver. On the re.
sumption Of the trial a court official was
placed in q closet, and by a series of sig.
nails arranged beforehand signi6ed the
feelings Of the prisoner as they were be.
trayed through the muscles OF his hands.
The main points against the prisoner
were thus determined. They we're pres.
emily formulated and read to him in
privacy, and he was so overcome that no
made confession of his orime.
