INDIAN CREMATIONISTs.


C. S. Hilton has just returned to Los
Angeles from Yuma. where he has been
in the employ of the Southern Pacific.
During his stay in Yuma there were
four deaths among the Indians on the
reservation, and following their usual
custom the bodies were burned Capt.
Hilton says that these Indians are nat
ural born" creamationists, and have the
business down to such a science ss to
discount all expensive modern crema-
tories in point of effectiveness, says the
Arizona Republican.
Their plan, the captain says, is very
simple one, but 1t il thoroughly ef-
fective. When an Indian dies the whole
tribe have a great pow-wow and details
are told of to keep up regular and
systematic wailing up to the time the
body is prepared for cremation. Wher
this time arrives . shallow hole is
scooped out in the sand. which is filled
with finely splintered wood, on which
the nude corpse is laid. A cord or two
Of mesquite wood is then piled on top
and about the body, the hre is applied
and the entire band OF Indians gather
about the burning pile.
For q few seconds there is slight
smell Of burning nesh. and 1t is all over.
The wood burns to ashes, and when II
goes out there is nothing resembling
human frame left; only comparative
ly small pile Of gray ashes, which are
scattered over the desert by the winds.

Capture Of q Swarm Of Bass.

The hunters of Maine often make
good hauls Of honey stored by wild
bees In hollow trees, but sturdy
woodsman of Guilford recently went
his fellow hunters one better in this
branch of forest craft. Having located
q swarm and their hoard, he captured
bees and honey at one swoop. BY OBJ

line of fight, and, following it across
his farm and into the woods about .
mile, he found it led to . hollow tree,

. bee hive to the place, he cut down
the tree, and placed its hoard of some
thirty pounds of honey in the hive,

and made themselves perfectly at

and bees together, and the insects have
since kept on at work laying up wax

hind legs when hurried. says Nature.
The correspondent adds the interest
ing information that on the rocks about
the watershed Of the Guiana are old
drawings OF lizards running erect. Mr..
Saville-Kent points out that this pc

A LOYAL AMERICAN GIRL
Hat - RaN1AA the Doys o9
AoAD naA Neither,

When the soldier boys left for the
south there was one bright-looking girl
standing on the depot platform, says
the Denver Times. She wore one OF the
fashionable hats which appear like a
garden Of flowers. AZ che stood there.
with the tears coursing down her cheeks,
she saw the other girls burying the
brave boys in literal forests of flowers.
One of the soldiers stepping up to her
asked:
"please. may I hare one Of those dow-
ers on your hat7''
She took his hand, aud In . voice most
womanly said: "Yes, sir. and may God
bless YOU"
Then she told them al to come and Sc
lect flower from her hat. The boys.
with hands grim and bronzed from camp
life, carefully culled them from the
straw frame until they were all gone.
Then she put ON what was left Of it, and,
stepping back toward the CAT, said with
emotion:
~Boys, I wish there were more. l
hope you will come back again, and that
those flowers viii remind you Of the
pleasant sceneA Of home, and guide you
az your dear old mother would have
taught you to 60"
There were several girls standing close
by who whispered: II wouldn't ruin
my hat that way" but the wiser heads
remarked: 'There is loyal American
woman = God bless her." - Denver

This wailing is, however, nothing to

country near Tunis I heard It kept up
during . whole night In neighboring

"There was no time for the doctor. I

breathed again. Blessed breath! The
revulsion was something wonderful.

THEORY or sUNsrRoKR
Heat - % exDoauRe -
che oon.


Dr.. Sambon adopts what to many Will
be startling theory to explain the 'ac-
4ion Of sunstroke, says the Los Angeles
TimeA He regards this affection as not
due to excessive heat or exposure to the
sun, but to an infectious disease caused
By specific organism. He attests the
fact that strohers. oven cleaners. min
ers and iron workers are exposed to
temperatures higher than those Of any
known climate without ever contract
ing the malady, and that the Assam tea
planters and the closely shaven Chinese.
although constantly working in the
hottest sun. are equally exempt.
DR.. Sambon. discussing the geograph.
ical distribution Of the disease, goes on
to prove that the areas in which it is
epidemic are strictly defined. While
unknown in Europe. it II common in the
low-lying regions Of the eastern United
States between the Appalachians and
the Atlantic. It extends along the Nile
sea, the Red sea and the Persian gulf.
It prevails in the Indo-Gangetic ailuvial
plain, but not on the adjacent Indian
highlands. In support of his infection
theory DIR. Sambon refers to the occur
renee of epidemies which have frequent
ly decimated hospital wards and not af-
fectcd men exposed to greater heat and
sun. The demonstration of the organic
origin of the malady rests on its dis
tribution etiology. morbid anatomy and
epidemic character. The specific or
eanism has not been detected. but DR..
Sambon's Investigations incline him to
the belief that it lives in the superficial
layers Of the soil. and il conveyed to the
lungs or alimentary canal by dust.
