How Indians Are Named.
Review of Reviews

IReVleW Of Reviews
 As the Indian child grows he con-
 mits acts from time to time each of
 which gives him a new name. For ex- ample, he may see a bear and run screaming to the tepee. The folks all laugh at him, and call him Runs-from- a-bear. Later on he may become the possessor of an unruly pony which he fears to ride, and becomes known as Afraid of-his-horse. Or, he may mount horse from which another Indian has been thrown, and he then is spoken of as Rides -the-horse. Further on he be- comes great hunter and kills five bears and they call him Five-bears, and when he stays another his name changes to Sixbears. He may yerform a valiant deed in battle and ride his horse through the camp of the enemy, for which he is dubbed Observation-Disclosures. During the conflict he may kill one of the enemy. If his victim is tho only one
 slain hs IS called Kiils-the-enemy But ifotheTs fall the one he has killed must
 be described. as KilIs-the-one-with -the-
 big. knee. If he braids in his Lc;s 2 vel ths tail Of an eagle he may be called La5 -o- ..sII. A@s s.U-i0a5noI, 1eiiU~- taII or Yellow feather. If he gives 1t to his friend he will be named Gives feather, but if he refuses to part with it his name will charge to Keeps-his- feather. nr ho ok Foi, other object. If he is accustomed to ride what is commonly known as ''calico" horse he may be called Spotted-horse, but if his horse has short tail he will are that he will be known by all the names. His enemies in the tribe will continue to speak of him as Runs -frOm-a-bear, or Afraid of-his-hOrse, while his friends will call him Rides-the-horse, Six bears, or Kills For this reason it occurs that if you speak of the Indian in the prt sence of certain members of the tribe and call him Six-bears they will laugh at you and say: "That not his name; his name Runs-from-a-bear." But ifyou speak of bim to certain others as Runs they will scowl and say: That not his name; his name Kills the-enemy."
 Hence it will be seen that the Indian names are nothing, a deIusion and 8 snare, and the practice of converting them into English appears eminently unwlse. It is certain that the name on the rolls at the agency is the interpre- 5ation of only one of the Indians sev- sral thames" A short Indian name in their own yernacular, or syllable or so of long one, if euphonious and pro- nounceabIe. as they usually are, will answer quit we'll for family name, but the translatiOns are never satls- factory, and cannot be too strongly con- 1emed

THE CHA MONSTER.
Scientists Know Little of His
 Venom and Habits.

Professor John Van Denburg recently delivered an interesting lecture at the Academy Of Scieu.eg in San Francisco
 upon the subject Of the '2:ts -1onstef. s good sized audience was present.
 Ut has been Q common supposition for years," said the lecturer, "that the bite of the Gila monster was as poison ous as that of 2 rattlesnske, but many of the scientists denied this Numerous eminent scientific men stated that the bite was harmless. One of these, pr. Schufelt, had himself been bitten by one of the reptiles and, beside the pain occasioned by the ordinary bite of an animal, no ill results followed"
 The lecturer then stated that he had demonstrated that the saliva of the Gila monster was poisonous. It's bite would in almost every case cause death if the teeth of the lower jaw penetrated the skin. It was the upper jaw of the reptile which sank into the flesh of Dr. Schufelt, and as the secretation of the glands of the upper jaw was harmless, the doctor lived.
 The speaker said that he had injected the saliva of both the upper and lower glands into pigeons, and Tn every case where that from the lower jaw was in- jected the victim had dIed in 8 short time. He showed why SO many animals which are bitten by the poisonous rep tile live. The ducts which lead from the glands to the mouth open between the lower lip and the gum. For the sa- llva to enter a wound it must be forced up from the lip to the teeth and thence into the wound. Thus 1t is hard for the poisonous fluid to reach the blood even if the victim is bitten by the lower teeth.
 The lecturer illustrated the points of his discourse by the stuffed body of one of the reptiles.

Never before in the history of Arizona has so much interest been manifested i'll the growing of sugar beets as during the present season. Meetings are being held to discuss the subject, and two sugar beet companies have already been organized in the Salt River valley. No doubt the great success in the Pecos valley last year has much to do with awakening the present interest in Ari zona- In answer to the question, What kind of soil is necessary for the suc- cessful growing of the sugar beet ? Wm. Stowe Devol, director of the experiment station. writes that "any moderately fertile soil that may be easily cultivated to the depth of twelve or fifteen inches is suited to the culture of sugar beets. A very light, sandy soil, 8 very rich soil and heavy clay or adobe are obiec. tionable. The best results have been obtained upon moderately fertile, sandy Ioam.

Hagaman's accomplishments extend further. He can get right down of the printers stool. go into court, and be" the aver age lawyer of the state. He has done it. and modestly says he can do it again. He also declares that he can use more profanity in the briefest spase of time than any other editor in the state, and Tn this he is ready to meet all corners. "We will wager $100 with any preacher in the state," says he, "that we can outpray him, and will leave it to his congregation to decide" And when it comes to lying he will yield the palm only to the reporters of the Armenian troubles. the bubonic plague and the Cuban revolt.

WALKING ARSENALS.

AIate Associated Press dispatch from Chicago tells of the following state of affairs in that city:
 On the principle that it is an i'll wind that blows nobody good dealers in small firearms are congratulsting themselves that the carnival of store and street hOldups has given their busi- ness more decided boom than it has expert fenced since the great railroad strike and the so-called Chicago riots Despite the heavy pen altles provided by law for the carrying of con- cealed weapons, it is said that f.om 50 to 50 per cent of the male population who are out after nlghtfan provide them selves with means of protection. In most of the saloons, especially in the outlying districts, revolver can be found rePosing on shelf under the bar or worn in the hip pocket of the bartender, and the same ap- plies to drug stores and other places of busi- ness such as restaurants that keep open until late hour or all night. In the business office of one of the largest gas companies in the city navy revolver rests in full view on the counter immediately behind the cash drawer, although

the receiving clerk is protected from outside at- tacks by an abundance of wire netting. It is the consensus of opinion among dealers that there are more revolvers being carried or other wise used for purposes of protection in this city than ever before. Loaded canes, on the other hand. are drug in the market. All the ticket sellers of the Metropolitan Elevated road have also been ca uipped with revolvers
 This indicates that the inhabitants of the windy city are experiencing any, thing but 8 sense of security. After all. life and property are just as secure out Tn the wild and woolly west as in the centers of civilization.
