THE GREEN CORN DANCE.

How 1t Is Conducted Among the Potta-
watOmia Indians in Kansas.
The Pottawatomie Indians are at
present having their annual ''green
corn dance" on their reservation, about
twenty miller north, of town. The
green corn dance is a celebration to
the Indian deity on the arrival of the
green corn, as the name suggests, says
the Topeka journal. The dance lasts
day and night for sometimes as long as
eight days, though of late years the
limit has been shortened as civiliza-
ton approached. 1t will probably
soon die out altogether.
OF course the braves-they alone do
the dancing-do not dance all this time
without rest. The dance simply keeps
up that long, different braves dancing
while others rest. The exercises are
conducted in ring not unlike the cir
Gus ring. The participants are dressed
in all the grotesque costumes of the
race, with feathers, beads and furs.
The braves are seated around the edge
of the ring with faces to the center.
The music, which consists of several
Indians beating on one skin drum in
the middle of the ring, you could not
distinguish, but there must be some
tune about the noise, for the players
always strike together without a
break. The dance-which consists of
contortions of the body that only an
Indian is capable of and hideous imita-
tions of the cries of wild animals-lasts
continuously for about half an hour,
and then the music stops, while one of
the braves in the ring makes a speech,
always in the Indian tongue.
The squaws' part of the programme
lies in taking care of the babies and
cooking a green-colored liquid from
the corn, which is brought into the
ring in tin buckets steaming hot, and
from which the dancers take refresh
ment

Sensitive ABOUT Els Are.

When distinguished man like M.
Grevy refuses to tell his age, surely or
binary women may be excused for so
purely feminine weakness. By this sub
terfuge the president misled his country
men into believing him to be six years
younger than he was, according to an
anecdote, as follows: ''M. Grevy was al
ways very reluctant to tell his age and
openly admitted that reluctance. At a
dinner party given by one of his
friends in 1872, the future president of
the republic said, with smile: 'Peo-
pie may try as much as they like, they
will never know my real age And,
in fact, when M. Herold, who was some
time minister of the third republic,
endeavored to obtain definite particu-
lars of M. Grevy's age for new edition
of 'Vapereau,' NJ. Grevy persistently re-
fused to supply them. The archives
of Mountsous-Vaudrey were burnt in
1813,' he said, and you must do the
best you can. You'll get no informa-
ton from me- As consequence, all
M. Grevy's biographers gave the year
1913 as that of his birth, while in real
ity he was born in 1907

cURIosITIEs OF PLANT LIFE.
Trees That DistIn Water, Furnish Light,
Change Color, and Catch Fish.

Trees That Distil Water. Furnish Light,
Change Color, and Catch Fish.
On the Canary Island grows a foun-
tain tree, tree most needed in some
parts of the island, says the San Jose
Cali Mercury 1t is said that the
leaves constantly distin enough water
to furnish drink to every living crea-
ture IN Hero, nature having provided
this remedy for the drought of the
island. Every morning, near this part
of the island, cloud or mist arises
from the sea, which the winds force
against the steep cliff on which the
tree grows, and it is from the mist that
the tree distills the water.
China, too, claims her remarkable
tree. This is known as the ta1low tree,
SO called from the fact of its producing
a substance like tallow, and which
serves the same purpose, is of the same
consistency, color and smell. On the
island of Lewchew grows a tree about
the size of a common cherry tree, which
possesses the popularity of changing
the color of its blossoms. At one time
the flower assumes the tint of the lily,
and again shortly takes the color of the
rose. In Thibet there is a curious tree
known as the tree of the Thousand i'm
ages, 1CS lOdVCS are covered W1Un W0ll-
defined characters of the Thibetan
alphabet. 1t is of great age and the
only one of its kind known there.
The caobab tree is considered one of
the most wonderful of the vegetable
kingdom. It appears that nothing can
kill this tree; hence it reaches an
astonishing age as well as enormous
size. The natives make a strong cord
from the fbers of the bark; hence the
trees are continually barked, but
without damage, as they soon put forth
a new bark. 1t seems impervious to
fire and even the ak is resisted, as it
continues to grow in length while it is
lying on the ground.
In Mexico there is plant known by
the name of Palo de Leche. 1t be-
longs to the family of euphorbia. The
Indians throw the leaves into the water
and the fish become stupefied and rise
to the surface and are then caught by
the natives. In this case the effect of
the narcotic soon passes off. The
milk of this plant thrown upon the fire
gives out fumes that produce nausea
and headache. The milk taken inter
nally is deadly poison; it will pro-
duce death or insanity according to the
size of the doze. There is a popular
belief among the lower class in Mexico
that the insanity of the ex-Empress
Carlotta was caused by this poison.

ACID FOR MAKING SUGAR.
A Curious Process which Has Met with
Some Success In France.

Curious Process Which Has Met with
Some Success IN France.
A very novel methodEof making sugar
has been patented in France by M.
Pellegrini, says the American Archi-
tect. Sugar is, chemically, compound
of carbon, oxygen and hydrogen, in
such proportions that if carbonic acid,
water and certain kinds of illumin-
ating gas could be persuaded to unite,
in the proper quantities, the compost
tion of sugar would be exactly imi-
tated. Hitherto no one has been able
to make sugar by mixing water with
two kinds of gas, but M. Pellegrini
claims to have succeeded. The ap-
paratus he uses consists of large block
of pumice stone, cleansed by soaking,
first in sulphuric acid and then in wa
ter, which is set in an iron box plated
with nickel inside. The length of the
box is three times that of the pumice
stone block, which is tightly fitted into
the middle, and pipes are arranged to
convey the ingredients to the empty
ends of the box, as required. Two of
them enter from the sides, and serve
to bring carbonic acid and hydro-carbon
gas, while another pipe from above
branches so as to reach both empty
portions of the box and conveys steam.
All the pipes are fitted with valve and
pressure gauges.
Another pipe, at the bottom of the
box, serves as an outlet. At first this
pipe is closed, as is also the steam pipe
from above, and carbonic acid is forced
into one end of the box, while ethylene
gas is forced into the other, under equal
pressure and in equal volumes. A few
minutes later the steam valve above
is opened and the steam forced in
under the same pressure. AS the gases
unite the pressure falls, so that the
supply of each must be kept constant.
At the end of half an hour the supply
of gas is shut off, the outlet pipe is
opened and one of the chambers is
found to be filing with syrup, con-
tanning twenty-five per cent. of sugar.
The syrup is drawn off for refining,
and as soon as the apparatus is cool it is
ready for fresh charge. The ethylene
gas can be obtained by roasting rosin
or grease, but M. Pellegrini's patent
covers other hydrocarbons, such as
petroleum products. The explanation
is that the three gases are condensed
in the pores of the pumice stone and
there unite; but NJ. Maumene, who has
made some experiments, declares this
to be doubtful, and in Cosmos expresses
doubt as to the success of the process.

AN ARTIFICIAL NIAGARA.
England's Scheme to Utilize the Current
of the Irish Channel.

England's Scheme to Utilize the Current
of the Irish Channel.
England does not propose to be be-
hind the United States in the utiliza-
tion of natural waterpower for electric
lighting and machinery. Since she
has no Niagara, she proposes, it is said,
to make one The force to be borrowed
is that of old ocean itself, says an
article in the Boston Traveller.
The North sea flows through the
Irish channel with swift southwark
current. At the Null of Cantire,
only fifteen miles from Scotland. the
average depth of the strait is not more
than three hundred feet. A dam built
at this point would incidentally per-
NIT of railroad connection between the
sister islands. But the main purpose
of its construction would be to bank
up, the waters and create an artificial
difference of levels.
The sea north of such a wall would
at once rise higher than the Irish sea,
which would be turned into an inlet or
bay. By tapping the dam an almost in
exhaustible power could be drawn
upon, since the greater width of the
wall would more than make up for the
sleeper descent of the narrow Niagara
river. Secondary advantages, such as
increased navigability of the now
stormy Irish sea and improvement in
the ports of eastern Iceland are claimed
for the plan

Tho pIscoverx of GLASS.

There is little or nothing known
with certainty in regard to the inven-
ton or discovery of glass. Some of the
Oldest specimens are Egyptian, and the
age of certain glass vessels made by
that people, which are now kept in the
British museum. is believed to be at
least 4,194 years, dating back to the
year 1900 B. c. Transparent glass was
first used about $50 B. c., the credit of
this latter discovery being given to the
Phoenicians. The old story of its acci-
dental discovery is familiar: Merchants
who were resting their cooking pots on
blocks of subcarbonate of soda found
glass produced by the union, under
heat, of the alkai and the sands of the
desert

HER OBNOXIOUS ATTIRE.
1t Was Too Much for the Nerves of This
Poor Woman,


Bad nerves are frequently very
troublesome. Experience proves that
it is always advisable to nip their dem
onstrations in the bud before they get
too audacious and assume control of
the whole system.
At garden concert the other even
ing, says the New York World, very
fine-lool1ing, elderly woman in high
ly desirable seat seemed to be laboring
under a mysterious malady. She
twisted about, she wriggled, she rubbed
her hands together excitedly, she
leaned back and shut her eyes as if in
desperation. What could be the mat
ter with her? She did not seem warm,
for she did not fan, and she looked too
well to be on the verge of stroke of
any kind. Suddenly the mystery was
solved. Before her sat lovely summer
girl clad in a charming fluffy gown of
silk gauze. The perturbed old lady
leaned and touched her on the shoul-
der. Then she said:
Young lady, your gown is beauti-
full, but tits made with the stripes run
ming bias on your back, and they drive
me nearly frantic. Would you mind
changing seats with me, so can't see
them? If you don't shall certainly
have to go home"
And the charming girl changed seats

Deafness Cannot be Cured

By local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure Deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an infamed con-
dition of the mucous lining of the
Eustachian Tube. When this tube gets
infiamed you have rumbling sound or
Imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely
closed Deafness is the result. and unless
the Inflammation can be taken out and
this tube restored to it's normal condi-
tion, hearing will be destroyed forever !;
nine cases out of ten are caused by
