INDIAN SIGNALS.
The Long Distance Code by which
tho Red Men Converted.

The Long Distance Code by which
the Red Men C~onversed.
The traveller on the plains in the early
days soon learned the significance Of
the spires of smoke that he sometimes
saw rising from a distant ridge or hill
and hat in turn he might see answer
ed from a different direction. It was
the signal talk of the Indians across
miles of intervening ground, a signal
used in rallying the warriors for an at
tack or warning them for a retreat
when that seemed advisable.
The Indian had a way of sending up
the smoke in rings or puffs, knowing
that such a smoke column would at
once be noticed and understood as a
signal and rot taken for the smoke of
some campfire. He made the rings by
covering the little fire with his blanket
for a moment and then suddenly re-
moving the blanket and allowing the
smoke to ascend, when he instantly
covered the fire again. The column Of
ascending smoke rings said to every
Indian within 80 miles: "Look out.
There is IN enemy near" Three
smokes built close together meant dan.
ger. One smoke merely meant atten-
ton. Two smokes meant "Camp at
this place." Travel the plains, and the
usefulness of this long distance tele.
phone will quickly become apparent.
Sometimes at night the settler Of
traveller saw fiery lines crossing the
sky, shooting up and falling, perhaps
taking a direction diagonal to the line
of vision. He might guess that these
were the signals Of Indians, but unless
he were an old timer he might not be
able to interpret the signals. The old
timer and the squcw man knew that
fire arrow ian arrow prepared by
treating the head of the shaft with
gunpowder and fine bark meant the
same as the column Of smoke puffs-
viz, can enemy is near" Two arrow.
meant Danger" Three arrows said
i~mperatively, This danger is great"
Several arrows said, tThe enemy are
too many for u.s." Two arrows shot up
into the air at once meant "We shall
attack" three at once said, eve at
tack now" An arrow shot off in o
diagonal direction said as plainly a.
pointing a finger, "That way" Thus
the untutored savage could telephone
fairly we'll at night as we'll as in day
time"

II FATAL SORGHUM.

Neither sInherent Poison" Nor ssec-
ond GROWTH Solves the Problem.
The use Of sorghum as a forage plant.
Is extensive. With it's increased impors-
lance for this purpose in Nebraska the
number. Of deaths caused by feeding it
increases. During the past year. IA
fatal cases, In cattle were reported
Professor Hiltner of the state station.
undertook to determine if possible the
nature and cause of these cases Of poi
soning. ~ .Ts !.
Frequent reports are made Of bloat
caused by the use of sorghum for for
age. 1t has been supposed in some
cases that the cause Of death from u.s.
ing sorghum was to be found in the
presence of parasitic fungi on the leaves
Of the plants. In a number Of instances
it has. been believed by stockmen that
plants were maliciously poisoned with
strychnine, paris green or arsenic.
Analyses made by the station Of plants
thus suspected indicated no trace of
any such poison.
Another suggestion made to explain
poisoning by sorghum is that the plant
takes up an unusual quantity Of potas-
SUM nitrate during certain seasons or
in certain localities. A number of sam
pies analysed indicated only a trace Of
nitrates.
The most commonly believed theory
for the explanation of poisoning by sor-
ghum is that the plant under certain
conditions develops a poisonous prin-
| ciple. In reports from stockmen it was
noted that the symptoms were nearly
uniform in all parts Of the state and
that the poisoning was not confined to
animals of any particular age. Sam
pies Of sorghum which had caused the
death Of cattle were analysed and test
ed for chemical poisons, but none was
found. 1t is of Importance to note in
this connection that the nitrogen con-
tent Of the samples which were ana
lyzed was not above the average.
The opinion is somewhat widespread
that the second growth Of sorghum is
more dangerous than the first growth.
This may have been the experience of
stockmen in some localities, but when
all cases which have been reported
from different parts Of the state are
considered it Is found that the first
growth is not always harmless and the
second growth is not always poisonous.
The majority Of cases Of poisoning
reported were due to eating the second
growth Of sorghum. The first growth,
however, is not fed in a green state to
the same extent as the second growth,
and this fact may account for the more
extensive poisoning from the second
growth plants.
Professor Hiltner leaves the problem
still unsolved.

JACK TAR'S GROWL.
A Story Illustrating the Sailors
Habit of Gru1nbling.

A Story Illustrating the Sailors
Habit of G~runbling.
The author of "From Edinburgh to
the Antarctic" writing Of the sailors
habit Of grumbling, says: "The dinners
are all the same-that is to say, Mon
d.yss dinners are all alike, and what
we have today we shall have this day
six months hence. Jacks forefather
this day 100 years. ago had the same
menu and made the same uncompli-
mentary remarks about the dishes, and
100 years hence on this day Jacks chill
dren will growl rel their salt horse

tells this yarn" to illustrate that
Jacks habit Of g%rumbling can't be
cured and must be endured:
Once upon a time there lived a skip
per whose wife said to him that If she
went to sea the poor men would never
find fault with their food. Her hus-
bans took her with him on a voyage,
and the, good woman attended to the
cooking in the galley herself.
4 The couse was thick with fresh veg
etables, the bread was white and with
oit weevils, the meat was good, and
the duff was almost half plums, but
still the men growled.
Then the shippers wife thought of
the hens she had brought on board to
lay eggs for her husbands breakfast.
She took them out of the coop, wrung
their necks with her OWL fair hands,
pIucked them, roasted them and sent

ALLAH AND AMERICA,

a Persian Legend About the Crea-
tors Visit to- Earth.
In Persia, N a morning after the yer.
min had been particularly vigorous, l
said something caustic about getting
back to Gods country. An Armenian
who had reposed in utter comfort in
the same caravansary heard it and
smiled. Being an Armenian, he hated
the Persians, probably. incidentally
the Persian ~reciprocates.
Well, this Armenian, rubbing his
hands and with his head skewed over
on one side, said: THE Persians have a
legend for everything. They have a
legend for what you said just now. 1t
is this:
~"Allah-that is God-once said to bis
angel, 4 will see this world which l
made
"And so Allah and the angel descend
ed invisible in a cloud to the earth,
and the first place at which they ar
rived was France-that is, in Feren.
ghistan. And there they saw the rail-
roads, and the tramways, and the the
aters. and the. great picture galleries.
And Allah looked in disappointment
and said: Alas, no.! This is not the
world which l made. l made none of
these things
$50 they journeyed to Inglezistan-
that is, England - and there wera
mighty ships in the harbors and huge
mills which make all sorts Of thinga
and food in plenty. And again Allah
said: Alas, no! This is not the world
which / made And everywhere they
Travelled in the cloud Allah looked upon
the land and said, No; this is not it,
"At last, in despair, the angel led the
way to Persia, and Allah sat himself
down upon a very high mountain, and.
looking far on every side, he saw nei
Their railroads nor tramways o thea,

mills nor sc%hoolhouses nor plenty ID

"And Allah said: Yes, at last. Thfa

thing is changed. The people whom ]
put there have done nothing"
"Why didn't he come to American" I
asked.
