Professor Miguel MaraZta has report
ed curious anthropological discovery
In the valley of Rebas, at the end of
the eastern Pyrenees. He says:
There exists in this district a some
what numerous group of people who
are called Nanas (dwarfs) by the other
inhabitants and as matter of fact are
not more than four feet in height.
Their bodies are fairly well built,
hands and feet small, shoulders and
hips broad. making them appear more
robust than they really are.
Their features are so peculiar that
there is no mistaking them among 9TH
ers. All have red hair. The face is as
broad as long. with high cheek bones,
strongly developed jaws and fiat noses.
The eyes are not horizontal, but some
what oblique, like those of Tartars and
Chinese. A few struggling, weak hairs
are found in place of beard. The skin
is pale and flabby. Men and women
are so much alike that the sex can only
be told from the clothing.
Though the mouth is large the lips
do not quite cover the large. project
ing incisors. The Nanas. who are the
butt OF the other inhabitants. live en-
tirely by themselves in Rebas. They
internarry among themselves. so that
their peculiarities continue to be repro
duced.
Entirely without education and with
out any chance of improving their con-
dition. they lead the life of pariahs.
They know their own names but rare
~ remember those of their parents. can
hardly tell where they live and have no
idea OF numbers

UNIQUE ELECTRIC ROAD.
An Innovation Iu Trolley Practice
Attempted In Switzerland.


All of the electric motors on trolley
cars i'm America are OF the direct cur
rent type. says the New York Tribune.
In few shops, however. alternating
current motors have recently been en-
ployed to drive machinery. and this in
novation has led to Il good deal of talk
about applying the same system to trac-
ton work. If alternating current motors
would show themselves suited to the
operation of trolley cars, 1T would be
felt that an important gain had been
effected. Where the power for n road
is generated ut n considerable distance
from the line, as is the case in Buffalo,
whose supply is drawn from Niagara,
it is customary to employ an alternat-
ing current for transmission purposes
and then at the scene of action convert
the current into a direct one. That con-
version. however. involves slight loss
of energy and calls for the use of an
additional appliance. There would be
a double economy therefore if the al
ternating current could be led right in
to the car motor.
Without going into the technicalities
of the matter, it may be remarked that
until Tesla invented what is known as
the "polyphase" motor it was hard to
utilize an alternating current for power
purposes, however satisfactory Ii might
be for illumination. But ever since the
polyphase motor showed that 1T would
work well in shops electricians have
waited impatiently to see it tried on
railway cars. Such venture has just
been made in Switzerland. and if it Is
not the very first one of the kind it is
certainly a pioneer enterprise.

Headache From Eye Strain.

Casey \. Wood says that the site
of the ocular headache in the order
Of frequency is, first, the supra orbital;
second. the deep orbital: third, the
fronto occipital, and, fourth, the tenn
poral. The character of the pain is
more likely to be dull and heavy than
very acute. The exciting causes are
tasks which require the use of the &C
commodation and conveyance, read
ing. writing. drawing. painting, type
writing, sewing. music, card playing.
billiards. shopping. riding in trains and
street cars, etc. Long sighted people
suffer more from headache than the
short sighted. Insomnia, dyspepsia
and pelvic disease predispose to ocu-
lar headache. The author is opposed
to internal drug treatment, but ad-
vises very hot or very cold fomenta-
tons. Medical News.

True, they did lose the game in the

INJUNCTION SUIT
Filed Against the County Commits.

sionerS.
Maurice McKelligon, through his
attorney W D Howe, yesterday filed q
ndatory Injunction suit 10 the dis
trics court against James r HarIe r et
al. This is an atte mpt to prevent the
county commissioners from ignoring
the petition for registration. There
are several sides TO the story and 1t
promises to be q very Interesting
suit.
Articles 1852 and 1853, revises statu
les of the state OF Texas, read Is
follows:
Art. 1862. The regular terms of the
commits. iou-rs' courts shall commence
aud be- held as the court house OF
their respective counties on the second
NJ ndsys In February. May, August.
and Novem Der In every year, and may
continue 10 session one week.
Art. 1853. Special terms OF said
courts may be called by the county
Judge or any three OF the county COM
session until the business Is com pleted.
The commissioners have been meet
log every month. But - the last
meeting, it is alleged, they agreed not
70 meet for two months, and It is limited
on the side OF the plaintiff Ia this suit
shat they wee persuaded to do go by
parties who are not In favor Of the re-
gistration.
This is denied by the defendants,
and Judge A. NJ. Walthsll has set aside
Saturday the fifteenth at two o'clock,
when he will listen to the argument
for ths Injunction suit. The county
con- missioners have been summoned
to appear before him at that time
and give their reason for refusing TO

THE FLExICON MOVEMENT.
New French Way of Marching Ii
Old to the American Red Men.


Old to the American Red Men.
Anybody who knows anything at all
about modern fighting knows that the
North American Indian is the man
who sets the pace. First the American
frontiersmen studied his ways and
adopted his tactics, and the soldiery
took it up. Baden-Powell, SO the
plucky little South African general con-
feSseS. first read about American
scouts and then took lessons from their
teachers, the Indians themselves. But
now there is a slip in the chain and
France is studying the Indian without
going to the trouble of first ascertain
ing what the best scout in the world,
the American soldier, thinks about it.
France is trying the ''f1exicon march,"
Never get the leg straight" are the
French instructions. Keep the back
straight, but bent forward. Do not
throw the shoulders either back or up"
That is about the way an Indian
walks. SO Captain Uline of the Twen-
tieth infantry confesses. but, he goes
on. he never heard of the trick being
tried by military.
IT cannot discuss the merits Of the
'flexicon,' the captain said, because
1 am not familiar with 1t. From the
description it is just about the way an
Indian walks. His knee is never
locked or thrust back. so as to have
the leg quite straight. The Indian
never uses the heel to the exclusion Of
the ball of the foot. but puts the sole
down all at once. Not all Indians are
footmen. l could name half a dozen
tribes which. to my personal knowl-
edge. go mounted always and almost
everywhere even about their camp.
The ficSicon movement the French
eXrerimentalists are said to be tinker
ing with and copying from our Indians
is about the movement Il soldier gets
when be is faiigued. | am not pre-
pared III crijici>e it.
An English army officer. n subaltern.
here with the horse buyers. said con-
corning the new movement:
The French are the greatest bun
glers in the world They get the widest
notions, 'fad>' | ought to call them, in
their pateS. remember once they de-
cided to dress every man in Madagas-
car i'll red flannel underclothing. Every
man i'll the place got skin disease.
Then they went in for natural wool.
ted red irritated the skin and then
found that natural wool. being already
charged with oil. could take up no
more. so was worthless for absorbing
perspiration. Now they are fddling
with the ficXicon movement, evidently
trying to step ahead of the United
States in overlooking the Indian, and.
overlooking the work the Indian does
when he goes on what we call his dog
trot' scouting. they propose to initiate
his walk.
1T is my observation that a soldier
requires this lexicon movement after
he has gone about four miles loaded
down with his equipment. The French
may teach him to always walk tired
to death, but 1 do not think we shall
ever see the British or these American
soldiers at it.
Coming home to oneself one
would not like to start to his work in
the morning with the tired out look and
movement that he goes home with if
he has earned his salt. 1t is matter
of pride to pull oneself together for
the day."-KanSas City Journal.
