A RING NECKED TRIBE.
Curious Custom of the PaIoungs OF
Burma.

Curious Custom of the PaIoungs of
Burma.
An officer of native troops was on
outpost duty at Fort Stedman, in the
Shan highlands, Burma, and was sent
on an expedition to a wild part Of tho
interior, where presumably foot of
white man had never trod before, says
the London Sunday Magazine. Here
he came across a tribe called Paloungs.
He observed the women were decorat-
ed with curious coils Of brass round
neck, arms and legs and on inquiry
found that it was a canon of unwritten
law that all the higher grade ladies
should be thus adorned. He was hor-
rifed to be an eyewitness of the opera
ton, the coils being put on a young girl
of II, who lay shrieking and firmly
held to the ground while the rods were
bent and hammered on.
The neck coil has the effect Of a gil
gantic spring, elongating the muscles
into a curious deformity. Each well
born ringed lady has a child following
her with a pannikin of water when in
hot sun to sprinkle the coil, as the
brass gets intolerably hot and testers
the skin into horrible sores. This is
n Of the most curious customs ever
heard Of and in spite of the pain is
willingly adhered to as showing high
rank in the Wearer.

DISAPPEARING DESERTS.
Within a Few Years There May Re
None In North America.

Within a Few Years There May Re
None In North America.
Surely the great American desert of
our childhood days will soon be a thing
Of the past. The only conception OF a
desert that the text generation will be
able to obtain must come from pictures
and descriptions of something that once
existed, but is nc more. Indeedzit Is
quite likely that we shall not have to
wait for the next generation to witness
the realization of this change.
"A special dispatch from San Bernar-
dino to the Los Angeles Times an
nounces that an artesian gusher with a
flow of nearly 200 inches Of water. has
been struck on the Mojave desert near
Victor at a depth of less than 200 feet
by parties who We're drilling for oil.
This is not by any a the first time
that water has been struck In southern
California by persons who were seek
ing for oil, and in some cases the water
has proved to be more valuable than q
moderate amount of oil would be.
Out on the Colorado desert. below sea
level, they have obtained a fine supply
of artesian water at a moderate depth,
and at the other end OF the desert, near
Yuma, water is flowing through a canal
which is big enough to be navigated by
a steam launch.
All this is only a slight foretaste of
what is to come within the next few
years. That favorite quotation of our
friend, the country editor, "The desert
shall blossom as the rose," is destined
to be exemplifed to a remarkable de-
gree in southern California within the
mex decade. Not only shall the desert
blossom as the rose, but also as the less
beautiful but more profitable cabbage
and potato and caulihower and sugar
beet and watermelon and fruit tree and
many other things which profit a mans
stomach and swell his bank account.
