Discovered Plgmies in Afrlca.

Donaldson Smith, the young ply
sician who has been on an expedition
to Lake Rudolph, Africa, arrived in
New York from London on board the
American line steamer st. Louis yes
terday afternoon, and last evening
reached his home in this city, says
the Philadelphia Times.
Perhaps of the greatest popular in
terest is his discovery of many new
tribes whose existence was previously
unknown. Among these is a race of
pigmies, the fact of whose discovery
has caused commotion in scientific
circles. These curious people are of
African type. Although of great ply
steal beauty, with well-formed Limbs,
they are barely removed from animals.
Late In life, they settle down and
marry. These remarkable people are
all between four and five feet high and
live in primitive conical huts.
Their only industry is corn raising
and the rearing of sheep and goats.
They are born hunters. In warfare
they use poisoned arrows, the wounds
inflicted by which prove fatal within
an hour.

New cures for consumption continue
to be proposed, notes the Pathfinder.
None has SO far proved specific cure,
invariably successful or exclusively
cc,pted. Consumption appears to be
the worst enemy of mans health in
this day, aud it is probably increas-
ing. 1t is these serious considera-
tions that are urging scientists to
study more closely the pathology of
the lungs. Nature abhors unhealth
and as soon as we learn how to make
the conditions right it will be as easy
to reform pair of lungs as to set q
broken arm.

The eyes of birds that fly by night

The Bertillon system for identifying

An odd observation of Gilbert

is that pheasant cocks invariably crow,

It is evident, according to the
American Machinist, that wheels con-
structed on the principle of the bicycle
wheel are not suited for use in ordinary
three and four wheel vehicles since
they are planned to sustain vertical

fitted for lateral strain such as other

A Frenehman has invented q record.

caught that, perhaps, it would be i'm.
possible for the composer to recall
and commit to paper.
Plateau, Belgian experimenter,
throws doubt on the assumption that
insects are strongly attracted by
bright and contrasted colors in flow

leaves aud colored paper seemed to
be visited by bees and butterflies
quite as often as the exposed flowers.
1t is concluded that perception of

Usually skeletons of prehistoric
peoples are found near the surface.
Except in the high mounds of the

Salt in History.

The necessity for salt among aborig
inal races must have been paramount,
for nature Graves it. Salts of soda are
to be found in all animal and vegeta-
BILE substances man uses, but it does
not seem to be SO assimilable as sodic
chloride. Primitive Americans we're
certainly fortunate, because sources
of salt far away from the seaboard are
fairly numerous. The work of procur.
ing salt must have fallen in a large
measure on women. There was Mex
lean goddess who was honored as the
salt giyer. Bancroft, in his Aztec
studies, tells how an Aztec king kept
the Tlascalas without salt for years,
until they acknowledged his sover-
eighty.

1000 trees, and the third, near Po-

is more olive planting in California
this season than at any previous time,
the boom being due TO the increased
