HOW THEY COMMUNICATE.

Marvellous Transmission of News Between
 Tribes of Savage Countries. By what occult means do barbarians transmit news with almost the rapidity of lightning? Again and again has this puzzled the advance forces of civilization In the Soudan, where the worlds interest centers now; with the Indians on the western frontiers of the United States; among the EslSimos of Alaska--in fact with savages in nearly every quarter of the globe, the facility with which information is spread far and wide is marvellous.
 Only with the utmost difficulty has the intelligence department of the British army learned of the movements of the dervishes. The Egyptians and the other native allies of the English army seem not to have been possessors of the dervishes' secret modes.
 On the other hand Mohammedane everywhere were informed of the ad- vance up the Nile to the Anglo-Egyp- tian army. No more pilgrims are go- ing to Mecca, but all are focking to the green standard of the khalifa.
 Long before the tidings of the Custer massacre reached Fort Abraham Lin coin the Sioux had spread if among their brethren of the northwest The scouts in Crooks column to the south knew of it in day or two, and those with Gibbon, farther northwest, were not long without the information. Ter rvs Crow scouts told their chief the next day, and the story was discredited Two days later, when Terry reached the battle field. he found his scouts had not exaggerated.
 In Alaska several years ago a naval lieutenant on exploration ran short of provisions. He pushed on toward settlement, reducing rations every hour. When he reached there he found the inhabitants had provided against his coming and had 6 bounteous store awaiting him. The people in the VIZ laoe were of different tribe from those through whose domain he had passed, and so far as he could learn were not in communication with them.-Fishkiii NaMa-

 they, of course, reached an altitude 200 or 500 feet greater. The kites were
 three in number, all of them on this cc- casion of the Eddy pattern, two of them being at he end of the line and the third some Hundreds of feet below. The kites were of large size, two of them being six feet in their largest dimension, and the third one monster of nine feet. presenting some 65 square feet of sur face to the wind. This varied from is to 31 miles per hour at the surface, and the pull of the wire which held the kites mounted at times to upwards of 125 pounds, quite as much as Mir. Clav- ton and his assistants, Ferguson and Sweetland, care to handle.
 The instrument which was sent up was a meteorograph of three elements. giving continuous readings of air pres sure, temperature and humidity, and it was maintained at it's greatest height for upwards of ahalf hour. The readings ot the thermometer show fall in tenn perature of about IS degrees between the surface and the upper air. A short distance above the earth a cloud was en- countered, through which the kites rose, coming out into clear weather above. In the midst of the cloud, as might be expected, the humidity rose to 100 per cent, this being the reading of the hygrometer, and above the cloud | the air was quite dry, more so than at | the surface. The record of the instru- ment, in its variations of humidity, af- lords tolerably accurate measure of the thickness of the cloud, which from | the estimate made seems to have been about 2,500 feet. The flight fairly taxed | again the resources of the observatory. for to secure this great height it was necessary to put out 21s miles of wire. Moderate kite-fying is portion of the regular duties of the men at Blue Hill. for Mr. Rotch has recognized the value of this means of securing information about the weather conditions Of the
 pper air, but these very high flights Ire little out of the regular order. An lttempt to eclipse the record will, how yer, be made later in the week, when 'rof. Harrington and Mr. Archibald an be present, and again later in the eason, when it is probable that Mir. Iddy will be once more with the kite iYers on Blue Hill-Rostnn Ira I, sc,i,,t

 Any woman who has been overloaded Oy nature in the distribution of d;r,

 ot course, the machinery must be in
 .ne hands of a skilled manipulator. or
 the result would be an unsightlv scar
 or possibly an open sore or comnl;ca,
 tions of blood poisoning.
 The new apparatus, the advent of
 which has been hailed with iov m tbe
 world feminine, consists of specially
 ueslgned knife, with dainty but very
 sharp blade, tiny, keen-edged scoon. ana a very fine needle. With these ;n- struments pretty, lifel;ke dimple can 1 De produced as effective as the genuine
 print of an angels kiss"
 A small, straight incision is made in the cheek or chin of the ambitious pa- uent, representing the diameter of the proposed improvement. With the lit tle scoop small portion of the fat underlying the skin is removed: the delicate needle sews the edges together again, and the operation is completed. In two or three days the stitches are removed, and within the week the wound is entirely healed, leaving the slight depression in the surface of the skin which poets call dimple.
 The operation is simple matter of facial surgery, but it requires delicacv and skill to prevent a scar. If it be well done, it is only necessary to assist the process of nature by proper dress ing and protection, and the wound heals over so as to entirely obliterate the track of the knife.
 Not often does a woman in nossee- sion of a natural dimple desire to have 1t removed, but occasionally man who considers the mark badge of effeminacy wishes to get rid of it. This is just as simple an operation as is the other. Instead of removing bit of fat from beneath the surface, small portion of the skin itself is cut away. The edges of the iimple are drawn together with the incision heals, and the de- disappears.
 The artificial dimple, however, has it's drawbacks. It is too permanent. No natter whether the owner be plunged | nto the depths of grief, whether her ace be darkened by anger, or distorted " jealousy, the dimple smiles on.

The last Modern Woodman fight over
the records at Fulton, ILL.,, the other day
was not the least exciting, the Head
Consul of the order having been penned
up by "a bowling mob for several hours
and despairing of his life. Gov. Tanner
ordered out tive companies Of the state
militia, but the Fultonites let the inva-
ders go with the head office and records
for the scene. This ends a long drawn
out legal battle for the head office, in
which the Fulton people deserve more
credit for their %pertinacity than their
discretion. The fight has in no way af-
fected the order at large.

AS the following special to the Sioux
Falls Press. dated September 30, would
indicate, there is more and more of the
villainy in the auditors office ut Pierre:
10 day the Investigations developed
the fact teyond dispute hat Mayhem is
in arrears over 5000, and that Anderson,
and perhaps Mayhem, falsifed the in.
surance books after Taylor's examina.
ton, to cover the shortage. Public Elk
amiuer Taylor finished a second compai-
ison Of the 1897 business tonight, doing
the work with careful assistance and q
check on every word. He increased
Mayhew's shortage over so by the dis
covery OF items omitted from the first
examination. This Will leave Mayhem
short from $500 to $500. Th. SO figures
may be altered, but the change will be
slight. Anderson admits making eras-
ures and changes in the books, but says
he did it before Taylor first went through
them. He has been confronted with
evidence to the contrary, and at last &C.
counts conceded that the matter was
very mysterious. Mayhem denies any
knowledge OF the crime, although the
cash book in his office shows a change OF
some items, made in a bungling manner.
Mayhem and Anderson consulted coun-
sci to-day, and it is said are expecting
arrest. The sentiment here favors pros
ecution on a criminal charge.
AS evidence of Anderson's methods. a
wild cat company was admitted to the
state on payment Of examination fees OF
ST.. The company's treasury would not
stand any more, and Anderson trusted
them for the fees due the state. Anothe,
company of the same character had nc
money to pay anything. They we're ad
mitted under promise of future pay
ment, and the probable expectation oa
being picked for future examination
when their treasury would stand it.
