MANY CLAY EATERS.
VARIOUS PEOPLES WHO HAVE USED
THE SOIL AS FOOD.
In Some Places the Custom Is Observed
Only as . Ceremonial, but Generally the
Purpose Is to Sustain Life-Indians and
Africans Great Clay Eaters.

Among the extraordinary passions for
eating uncommon things must be reckoned
that which some peoples exhibit for eating
earth or clay. OF this practice, which
would appear to have once prevailed all
over the world, numerous examples were
cited by Captain j. G. Bourke, United
States army, in the ninth annual report
Of the bureau Of %ethnology. In some
places the custom has degenerated into a
ceremonial, while in others the eating Of
this strange food still prevails as a kind Of
necessity to the lives of those who are ad-
dicted to it.
The Mexican devotees picked up q piece
OF clay in the temple Of Tezcatlipoca and
ate 1t with the greatest reverence, and also
ate a piece of earth in swearing by the sun
and earth. But the use Of clay by the
Mexicans was not merely a matter Of core
mony, for it seems to have been an escu-
lent in common use. Edible earth was
sold openly in the markets of Mexico and
appears in the list of foods given by Go
mara.
Cabeza de Vaca says that the Indians of
Florida ate clay, and that the natives Of
fered him many mesquite beans, which
they ate mixed with earth. Venegas as
serts that the Indians of California ate
earth. The traditions of the Indians Of
Sun Juan Capistrano and vicinity show
that they had fed upon a kind Of clay,
which they often used upon their heads by
way Of ornament. The Tatu Indians of
California, according to Powers, mix red
earth into their acorn bread to make the
latter sweet and cause it to go further.
Sir John Franklin relates that the banks
Of the Mackenzie river contain layers of a
kind of u%nctuous mud, which the Tinneh
1rdians use as food during the seasons Of
famine and even at other times chew as an
amusement. It has a milky taste, and the
flavor is not disagreeable. The Apache

Ior more Iuan one hundred ana dfty
years. Here and there in northern ST.
IBERIA have been found. isolated or in
bowlder, specimens of that wide spread
fossil of many varieties, the ammonite;
but Baron Toll, in the Anabar basin,
first saw it in its appropriate geological
horizon, and he was thus able to learn
its proper place in the succession of
fossils of mesozoie time. He has been
the first also to discover traces of gla-
citation in northern Siberia. In one
cliff In Anabar bay he found the creta-
eeous deposits covered with angular
powders twenty or more feet in diam
eter, many of them polished and
scratched. The original location of
these fragments was about two hun
dred and seventy miles northwest of
the place where they are found, and
there is no doubt that they form mo-
raine.
During his work Baron Toll rode
hundreds of miles on the backs of rein
deer, and proved that the tundras may
be crossed at any time of the year in
this manner. The reindeer easily
cross the swampiest places, and if the
traveller has in addition boat made of
poplar tree of three larch planks for
crossing the rivers he need not fear
meeting any impediment in the Siber-
ian tundras.
The result of the expedition were

GATHER IN THE BRIGHT IDEAS.

\ practical newspaper man says:
every publisher has need, nowadays,
of all the bright ideas originated by
all other publishers. This is true of
all trades and professions. If only

every mans draft or requisition for
the latest discovery would be honored.

be. 1t is the great majority of plod-
ders and n-thinkerS who retard the

misery, when figured down, multiplies
in descending ratio as We follow the
scale of illiteracy. Indifference to-
ward these new ideas amounts to Il
| crime against the boys and girls of
susceptible age, whose daily thirst is
for knowledge. Let the clearing
house, or repository of new ideas and
new inventions be established by all
means. Let the public know that it
furnishes the means for exploding old
theories, that SuperstitiouS and worn

save the trifiing cost of monthly bulle-
tins and other literature bearing upon
the subject. Let the most illiterate
man understand that he may use the
inventions and adopt the ideas of the
advanced thinkers and inventors of the
day. Let him see that the fruit of one
day of toll may be greater than the
proceeds of two under the worn-ott
methods of his ancestors. Imbue him
with the idea that this is the day of
new ideas, and that be may take
step upward. though deprived of even
the rudiments OF education

LET FAURE JUMP IN.

On all sides-in the French papers,
in the French speeches, among. the
| French politicians and by the French
correspondeats to American News
| Agencies. the public is asked to blame
| Casimer-Perier. Nevertheless in the
mind of everyone who has followed
Perier. there'is is some grain of sym
pathy.
Casimer is neither coward or
! fool. He is on the other hand OF q
marvelously strong mentality and he
does not know what fear is. But he
has been irritated and bothered and
| worried and pulled and hauled and
maligned and pestered by the French
politicians, until he concluded to quit
and who can blame him for IL?
The politicians, aided by the French
newspapers, having harassed him TO
death now accuse him of cowardice
for resigning his office. But i'll so far
as he refused 10 be further peStered
he had right to get out.
This mercurial. volatile, peevish,
whining spirit which characteIizes the
French people is going 70 get them into
trouble some day. They are going 10
continue to play the migrate and the
fault-finder 10 decent public officials,
until they will, by mere mishaD or by
divine appointment, get a ruler who
will make the whole nation dance 10
his tune and it will not be a slow one
either.
1t would probably be good thing for
the French people if they had domin-
eering mind over them. The French
politicians appear to be the most quar-
relsome and childish Oh earth and if
they had good, strong, spitefui, fight
ing president to deal with, who could,
if necessary, grab each and everyone
of them by the collar and jerk him out
of his boots without ceremony, France
would settle down and let up on the
ridiculous habit Of having a crisis
every few months. The hot-headed,
addle-brained politicians have sue
Casimer- -Perier. If he cared he could
probably clean the whole outfit up, but
the task would not be congenial and he
has the right, and the very coed right,
TO avoid it. Some of these fine days,
however. France will run up against
a man who will not seek TO avoid Il
conflict, but who will thirst for the
fray and will end by wiping the whole
set of fault-fnding conspirators out.
AS for the two active and sinister
agencies which are all the time work
ing in France-the ROyaliSts and the
Socialists, little need be feared. In
the nature Of things a republic, so long
established rs France, cannot go per-
manently back to the ancient and
mildewed form of government known
as a monarchy. The people have
tasted of freedom and will not accept
a monarchy. The Socialists cannot
gain any permanent success inasmuch
as their doctrine favors the ccnstruc-
ton of things by demolishing them.
France will remain a republic but it
wants a president at the head of it
that will keep it above the appearance
of a continual dOg-fight. 1t is to be
hoped that L aure is that kind of d
man.
