Coal Tar Scents.

Many perfumes owe their origin to
GOAL tar Extract Of new-mOwn hay"
and ether similar delicate perfumes are
obtained from substance called Gu
marin, which up to few years ago
was extracted from sweet woodruff
and other scented grasses. 1t was ais
covered that cumarin could be OBJ
aimed by distillation of one Of the
7olatile oils of coal tar. White hello
rope is also made almost entirely Of
coal tar, together with seven other
scents, generally known by the names
IF the flowers they used to be extracted
rom. The Island Of Nautilus lost
much of its scent industry through the
.ivalry of coal tar scent. Vanilla, one
II the most delicate products Of coal, Is

and buildings. Coal tar also gives us

In dressy get-ups there is little uni
formity about boleros. Once type can
be recognized in one of these little jack
cts or effects, its styishness lessons
much, so great is the demand for orig
inality in them. Nowadays the novelty
of the bolero depends chiefly upon its
establishment rather than upon its cut,
the latter point having been about eX-
hausted long ago. Nor are many new
ways discovered of employing familiar
trimmings. In consequence the bolero
becomes a field for displaying the latest
cxcruciatiOn in trimming, and the fall
rule indOrses a-plenty of it even when
its appearance is rather striking. -Four

NO REAL INDIANS IN CUBA.

But a Race Hitherton Unknown Has
Recently Been discovered.
Stewart Culin, curator of the Univer-
sity of Pennsylvania Museum of Art
and Science, returned recently from a
trip to Cuba, where he investigated re-
ports of the existence of savage In
dams in the interior of the island.
Although there are no wild red men
there Mr.. Culin found several bands of
sO-called Indians who intermarry only
among themselves, possess Indian char
acteristics, straight black hair, copper
colored skin and high cheek bones, but
have no tribal organization. They have
rural Cuba generally and retain little
more of their own language than is the
common property of the natives.
Concerning the sO-called Indians in
Cuba representing the aborigines, Gu
rator Culin said: There has been an
importation of Indians into Cuba from
Yucatan by way of San Domingo since
the middle of the last century, which
complexities the question of the survi-
val of the aboriginal inhabitants of
Cuba. From the evidence | procured
in Barracoa there is little doubt that
the Indian settlement at Yara dates
back to the period of the Spanish con-
quest. The native houses are of Indian
design and many of the prevailing Gus
toms are of Indian origin. Man, in the
rural districts of the island, has SIM
ply reverted to state which with re-
cent wars is unhappily not far removed
from savagery. At the same time the
cordial hospitality of the people, their
gayety and lively interest and curiosity
do much to compensate fer the wretch
edness of living"
Visiting the interior of the island. the
curator said he saw the so-called In
dian Almarrares who says he is 112
years old. He has few Indian charac-
teristics and no special traditions. The
! Indians of YateraS, said the curator,
/ differ from the Cuban country folks
| generally only in physical appearance,
| although they are said to be lazier, a
| trait which is not attributed to the ru,
/ raj inhabitants.
/ In other expeditions Mr.. Culin pro.
/ cured some Indian skulls in caves and
/ also obtained fragments of pottery. an
/ art now lost to the so-called Indians

repute among the fishermen because
their presence was supposed to account
for the deterioration of certain fishing
grounds. So confident was the belief
in their fish-deyouring habits that their
destructiOn-or at least great reduc-
ton of their numberS-waS advocated
and in part accomplished by the State
Commission of Fisheries, according to
writer in Science. But it now ap-
pears that this belief was without sub
stantial foundation. @
The appeal to fact has been made by
the critical examination of the stom-
achs of slaughtered sea lions, and it
has been found by Prof. Dyche that the
twenty-five animals examined had eat
en- only squids and other cephalopods,
eschewing fish altogether. t
The investigation of food habits by
means of stomach examination is OF far
reaching Importance. DR.. Merriam is
engaged. through the biological sur
vey, in the most elaborate study of
animal foods ever made. For many
years the stomachs of wild birds and
mammals have been systematically col
iected and laboriously studied, to the
end that the favorite and the occasion
al foods of each species in each season
of the year and in each part Of the
country may become known. AS each
group is worked up the facts are pub
lished by the Department of Agricul-
ture, and farmers and legislators are
thus informed what species may prop
erly be regarded as friendly and what
as hostile to the interests of the peO-
pie. In many instances it has been
found that popular impressions, almost
necessarily founded on a comparative
ly small number of facts, are alto
gether erroneous, so that war has been
waged on our friends and protection
given our enemies.

New SmokeIess Powder.

The United States Ordinance Board
has been carrying on a series of ex-
periments to determine the part which
nitroglycerine plays in the corrosion
produced i'll guns fired with smokeless
powder, and to discover if possible a
desirable smokeless powder with a
small proportion of nitroglycerine as an
ingredient. 1t is reported that the au-
thorities have succeeded in producing a
smokeless powder for the army that
contains only twenty-five per cent of
nitroglycerine, and an explosive for the
navy that does not contain any. Cord
tie, it is known. contains ffty-eight per
cent of this glycerine. A four-inch gun
fired with the new powder $50 times
and four-inch gun fired 66I times,
failed to show any appreciative corro-
sion when tested with fine micrometer.

To Avoid Lightning.

If out of doors keep away from trees,
haystacks, houses, large sheets of water,
river banks, etc. If in the open plain,
where there are no trees or buildings
you are safer lying down than standing
up. If near wood, stay there, and do
not go nearer. If near single tall tree
you are pretty safe thirty yards away.
Indoors you are safest of all if you
adopt Franklin's plan. Find the geome-
trical center of the room. Hang up a
hammock by silken cords, get in and
stay there. Failing hammock, sit on
one chair in the middle of the room with
your feet on another, first placing be-
meath them feather bed or hair matt
ress. But do not sit under the gas
chandelier. Whether out of doors or in
doors keep away from the chimney or
from metallic masses of any kind And
possess your souls in patience.-LOnd0H
