A Curious Indian Relic.

Not long ago there was dug up in
Ashland curious stone with some dim
and crude inscription upon it, 1t be-
ing shown to an old Oregon pioneer
he pronounced it temanewas stone,
worn as breastplate by the ancient
Indian priests.
1t has holes in the upper corners by
which it may be hung upon the priests
neck. 1t carries upon it picture OF
the sacred wigwam, and at one end of
the wigwam stand the totem pole, on
the top of which little flag was hung
tlslt warned the evil spirits off while
the priest performed his divine func-
tions in the sacred house or wigwam.
This temanewas may coincide with
the breastplate of the Ephod, worn by
the ancient Hebrew priests, SO that the
picture of the wigwam on this stone
may represent the primary ancestor of
all the temples ever dedicated in the
world, and all flags and liberty poles
of all ages and countries may possibly
be the leneal descendants of the orig
inal totem represented on the stone.
Probably this Ashland stone is the
only one Of the kind now in existence.

Unsuspected Causes of Fire.

Gently been specially called to the fact
that sawdust should never be used to
collect drippings or leakages. 1t is
said that dry vegetable OF animal oils
found to inevitably take fire when sat-

and spontaneous combustion occurs
more quickly when the cotton soaked
with its own weight of oil. Danger 1s
involved in patent "driers, from leak

A process of eliminating smoke
from the combustion of coal has been

A scientist has discovered that soapy

The use OF aluminium has'been pro-

The healthful effects of sunshine

Helmholtz has shown that the fund.-
of the eyes are themselves luminous,
and he was able to see, in total dark
ness, the movement of his arm by the
light of his own eyes. This is one Of
the most remarkable experiments res

probably only a few men could satis-
factorily repeat it, for it is very likely
that the luminosity of the eyes is as
sociated with uncommon activity OF
the brain and great imaginative power.
It is fiuorescence of brain action, as it

1t is believed that there are five
times as many insects as there are spe-
cies of all other living things put to-
gether. The oak alone supports 400
species of insects, and 200 kinds make
their home in the pine. Forty years
ago Humboldt estimated that the num-
4 ber of species preserved in collections
was between $50, 900 and ITO, 900, but
scientific men now say that there must
be more than 750, 900, without taking
into account the parasite creatures.
