CLAY THEIR DIET.
THESE ARE NOT INDIANS NOR
NEGROES. BUT WHITES.
The Clay is Without Smell or Taste,
and While Possessing Some Oily
Properties it is Poisonous and
Induces Premature Decay.

Ever since my childhood l have
heard about the clayeaters of the
Southern States, but until a few
weeks ago regarded them as my h.
In the interest of an immigration
company | was making an examina-
tion of the valleys of the Eastern
Blue Ridge, extending from the head
waters of the . .anawha, in West Vir-
ginia. to the headwaters of the Chat
tahooche, in Georgia.
While in tho foothills. about thirty
miles south of Mount Airy, accom-
panied by a guide, my attention was
attracted to two men, whose strange
appearance indicated some unusual
disease. Like all the nountaineers,
these men were lean and lank; but
their forms were stopped, their limbs
attenuated and their eyes as dull as
those of dead fish-and these are
certainly not the characteristics of
the men of the Blue Ridge. The
color of these men was a sickly ashy
gray, the beard was thin and strag-
Cling, and the hair suggested wigs Of
faded Spanish moss. Dilapidated
straw hats, cotton shirts and butter
nut trousers constituted their whole
attire.

Why Oil Spreads on Water.

The reason why oil spreads on
water is, according to M. Richter,
due to the free olec acid contained
in it; and if it were possible to COM
pletely purify the oil from the oleic
acid it would not spread at all. With
view of testing the truth or other
wise of this statement, Agnes Pockels
has undertaken series of experi-
ments, and the results OF these are
communicated by her to Nature. In
one case Provence oil was taken and
shaken up twice with pure alcohol,
and, the rest of the latter being care
fully removed drop of the oil was
placed upon the freshly formed water
surface in a small dish by means OF u
brass wire previously cleaned by ig-
nition.
The oil did not really spread; but
after a momentary centrifugal move-
ment, during which several small
drops were separated from it, 1T con-
tracted itself in the middle of the
surface, and second drop deposited
on the same vessel remained abso-
lutely motionless. Evidently the
pure oil does not spread over sur
face of the minimum tension attain
able by its contact with water, be-
cause the sum of its surface tension
and the interfacial tension of oil and
water, which may be called the ten
sion of equilibrium, is greater than
the minimum tension.
Therefore, upon a clean water sur
face, the oil is repulsed by its own
solution current. The experiments
were repeated with various kinds Of
oil, and in each case it was found
that, by shaking up with alcohol, the
tension of equilibrium rose, and the
tendency to spread was diminished.
On the other hand, the tendency to
spread, not only OF pure oil, but OF
benzol and petroleum, increased when
oleitic, palmitic or stearic acid was
dissolved in them.

held in her hand. Each child rolled
the morsel between dirty palms till
it was as round as marble and
about the same size, and then it
was clapped between the thin lips,
and the chewing began in much the
same way that | have seen children
in the North chewing gum. This clay
must have excited the salivary glands
to excess, for soon the chins and lips
of the children were covered with a
blush -frothy muck.
took piece Of the clay and
found it without smell or taste, but
evidently saturated with some snatur-
al oil. In response to my question
as to where she got the clay, the girl
pointed to a red scar, evidently q
landslide at the head OF the little
valley, and said in the squeaky voise
that characterized these people:
& You-uns'll find right smart up
thar.
The free press. (Poplarville, Miss.) 1890-19??, 1894-10-18

At the first appearance of these
men my guide whispered: Them s
clay-eaters, but still was slow to
believe that ! was in the presence of
the people of whom | had heard SO
much.
The tender of cigars, which to these
men, were great curiosities as well
as luxuries, broke the ice, and /
succeeded in entering into converse
tion with the elder. / say "elder," !"
but there was really nothing in the
appearance of either man to indicate
his age. They might have been
brothers, or father and son, and if
either could have told his age, which
is doubtful, he might have passed for
2O or CO. for the faces looked like
death-masks rather than those of
living beings.
"We-uns live up the crick," said
one of the men in reply to my ques-
ton, and he indicated the direction
by pointing his long arm, with it's
yellow, attenuated finger, in the
direction of the mountain to the
right.
rs it far from here ?" l asked.
After painful pause, during which
he sucked at his cigar and stroked
his chin nervously, as if making a
calculation, he drawled out: "Waal,
hit amt so-far. Var stran.
ger har, reckon"
| confessed that l was, whereupon
he continued, with the invariable in
PRODUCTION, "Waal, we-uns lives up
nigh to the Harracan.
"Harrican" was new word to me,
and certainly would have been left in
ignortance had not the guide come to
the rescue by informing me that the
"Harrican District meant a place
near the head of the valley, where,
many years ago, hundreds of acres
of forest had been leveled by de-
structive hurricane.
What do you do at the Harrican"
i asked.
"Do!" replied the man. in the same
dazed way, and with the same strok-
ing of the chin, as if the question
perplexed him. why, we-uns lives
thar"
What do you do for living?"
was my next question.
"Oh, not much of nawthin," he
responded, and for the first time
CHASTITY smile fitted over the death
mask, while his companion, who so
far had remained reticent, and SEEM
ing Indifferent as to what had been
said, broke into a cackling laugh.
Reasoning that these men were not
sensitive, nor particularly dangerous
if anything | might say offended
them, / came directly to the point
by asking:
Are you clay eaters?" -.ts,-
"Waal, yes drawled the man.
"We-uns is bleeged to eat it when
thar aim nawthin' better"
Imust confess that this information
gave me throb of delight. | was in
the presence of people whom, all my
life, | had regarded as myths.
Against the wishes Of my guide, who
assured me that the country in the
direction of the Harrican was the
most God-forsaken on the top of the
green earth" | determined to 60
