Among the animals held sacred BY
the ancient Egyptians was the ichneu-
mon, or mongoos, which, because of its
fondness for the eggs Of crocodiles and
snakes, proved valuable In keeping
those obnoxious animals from multi
plying too fast. Rev. Chauncy Naples,
missionary to East Africa, describes
the way in which this peculiar animal,
which in size and general appearance
somewhat resembles the cat, disposes
Of its favorite article Of diet.
The mongoos, on receiving an egg,
Immediately goes to wall, and turn
ing its back to it, takes the egg in its
fore paws and throws 1t backward be-
tween its legs against the wall SO as to
break it. 1t then sucks the shell dry.
The funny thing is that whatever we
give 1t that looks like an egg-say an
old bone or stone-it evidently mis-
takes for all egg, and treats it accord
lngly. 1t Ia very ridiculous to see it,
tor hours together, trying to break a
round stone or bone by throwing 1t
against wall.

GETTING WATER FROM ROCK

8orcti So Yards and Found Very Fine

Moses has rival in Sweden. He
Is Baron Nordenskjold. The difficulty
Of obtaining good drinking water for
sea rock lighthouses and pilot stations
of the coast of Sweden suggested to
Nordenskjold the idea Of obtaining it
from the rocks themselves.
His father had been a mining en-
gineer, and from him he had learned
that fresh water dripped from the
rocks of mines, which extended far out
Under the sea. BY studying the dip
of rocks he arrived at the conclusion
that ages and ages Of temperature eff
fects produced in rocks alternate heat
Ing and cooling and internal holes ard
assures, by reaching which water
might be obtained. The experiment
was finally made at the pilot station on
the island of Arkoe.
The result was most favorable, for
after boring thirty-five yards through
solid rock fine supply of fresh water
was reached. Nordenskjold believes
that many portions Of the earth, which
are now avoided by people on account
Of lack Of water supply, can be re-
deemed from bowling wiIdernesses to
the uses of civilization by boring for
water into the rocks which abound in
such places. This rock water when
first struck has somewhat clayey ap-
pearance, but soon clears off and is cold
and sparkling.

The Terrible Macbcto,

Much has been said Of the terrible
machete, a deadly weapon indeed in the
hands of desperate man, and when
used against defenseless person. The
machete was never intended for wea-
pom of warfare; 1t lie an instrument Of
husbandry carried by the Cuban peas
ant in times Of peace, and is his one
familiar daily companion. 1t cuts his
fire-wood, aids him in building his hut,
hews his path through the manigua,
and performs many other Offices. The
machete is a straight, heavy blade
about two feet long, with wooden or
bone handle, having no guard; conse-
quently it is utterly unsuited as Z
weapon to be used in conflict with an
armed man. The Cuban, OF course, by
reason Of his long familiarity with the
instrument, is an adept in its use, and
its effect upon a group Of unarmed
workmen is truly terrible. II Is in the
foray against the defenseless and un-
armed that the most serious work of
the machete has been done in the is
land Of Cuba.

1 way T. Protect Your nat From Dust
and Cindsrs White on Train.
Comfort in travelling is an srnport-
ant consideration, and the newest idea
for journey Is one worth regarding.
Dodging railroad cinders and dust ID
something not to be thought of. When
thoroughly clean railroad trip is pos
sible the millennium will have arrived.
and this period is still, according to all
beliefs, a long distance of. But, ow-
ing to simple thought Of a practical
man, the traveller can now protect his
or her hat, which was out Of the ques-
ton before.
A humble paper bag, obtained from
the nearest grocer. is the god of the
machine. This is folded compactly
and slowed away in the pocket lin the
hand bag or purse il the traveller is a
woman and is pocketless). Before the
cars start the bag is opened, the hat
placed therein, the bag pinned across
its mouth and the whole laid in the
rack. Thereafter, until the destina-'
ton is all but reached, the traveller
need have no thought Of his headgear.
for no dust or cinders can reach 1t.
1t will be found in the best Of condi-
ton upon opening. So simple is this
device that 1t Is a wonder It was never
thought of before.
