One on the Moon.

The vagaries of the moon have been
so often described in verse and love
story that it seems a shame to make
that poor. overworked bright regent
of the heavens" stand for an ordinary
prosaic tale. But the Detroiter who
went hunting in the north woods
thought it a pretty fair joke, even
though it was at the expense of the
long-sufferlng moon.
The party was in the hands of one of
those rare old guides who make a liv-
ing finding and losing people and steer
ing hunters ont of the way of game.
They had got mixed up in the tall tim
Der one night and were yainly trying
to find their way out to the clearing.
The guide was as much at sea as any
body.
"Where is the moon?" said one of the
party. where does it rise in this To-
cality?"
"Well, We can't tell anythin' bout it. -
drayled the guide; half the time it
doesn't come up at all"-Detrolt Free

A WONDERFUL FENCE.
The anchor" Clamps Are RsvOIutiOnizins
Wire Fences Nova. Days

The surprising stride in popularity
made by the "Anchor" wire fence
proves that this fence has come to
stay. 1t is used all over the United
States, and it bears the test Of time,
which in reality is the only convinc-
ing test. In the Pacific Northwest
the Portland anchor" Fence Co. of
742 Nicolai street, Portland, Ore is
pushing this fence and its agents are
welcomed everywhere, as they bring
an article which certainly is sorely
needed. 1t is probably a fact that
the anchor" fence satisfactorily
solves the great fence question.
The universal desirability of the
"Anchor" fence is understood when
you come to know that it serves in
the best possible manner nearly every
use to which any fence can be put.
The principle of clamping upright
stays, rivet-tight, to the running rod
makes every fence secure and durable.
Never before have such economical
and lasting fences been made.
These anchor" fences are suitable
for all kinds of ordinary fence pur-
poses and also afford large
scope in the designing OF ornamental
fences, tree guards, fancy gates, etc.
Besides this, if man wants to repair
his old wire fence all he has to do is
to buy some OF the little "Anchor"
clamps and a pair of pinchers and he
is prepared to make his old fence last
long time.
1t is worth while to send for pict-
ures and catalogues to the Portland
"Anchor" Fence Co., TAP Nicolai

In order 10 compensate the effects of
temperature, which tend to alter the
rate of a chronometer, the balance is
made Of two kinds of metal. When steel
and sheet brass are combined for this
purpose, the compensation is complete
only for two fixed temperatures. such,
for instance, as deg. and 60 deg. Be
tween these temperatures there is an
uncorrected error, called the secondary
error of the chronometer. The correc-

been a subject of great interest to

One of the reasons formerly urged
agains the existence of living creatures
in the abysses of the ocean was the
supposed absence of oxygen there. 1t
was deemed impossible that any con-
siderable quantity OF oxygen could ex-
list at great depths. But recent dis
coveries have shown that there is no
lack of oxygen even at the greatest
depths. The explanation is that the
cold water of the polar regions. charged
with oxygen from the atmosphere,
creeps along the bottom toward the
equator, from both poles. and thus car
ries a supply Of oxygen over the whole
vast floor of the oceans. The surface
water moves toward the poles. and SO

"Were it not for this world circula-

altogether probable that the ocean
would in time become too foul to sus.
tain animal life, at least in its higher
manifestations, and the sea, the mother
of life, would itself be dead"

Savage Tribes that Eat Their Own
Kin l Exist Along Amazo-.
1t may not be generally known that
cannibalism was once prevalent over
large areas of the American continent.
Such was the case, however; in fact,
the word cannibal is but another form
of Gambia or Cariba, the proper name
of the Carib Indians, the dreaded
scOurge of the Antilles three centuries
ago, among whom the Spaniards, on
first landing. found human limbs hung
up to dry in the sun for food Many of
the tribes of South America were can
nibals, and some of the uneonQuered
savages in the dark forests of the up
per Amazon still feast upon human
flesh. The practice existed in Central
America and Mexico, as readers of
Prescott are well aware, but rather as
a sacrifice to the god of war than from
any depraved taste for such food. AS
war ceremony it was found also
among nearly all the tribes of the east
ern United States and Canada.
The Miamis had a cannibal society.
whose members were under obligation
to eat any captives delivered to them
for that purpose; and the Kiowas, with
whom lived for some time, had only
few years ago a secret brotherhood,
each member of which was pledged to
eat the heart of the first enemy killed
by him in battle. The old war chief in
whose family stayed was one of this
society.
All the tribes of the Texas coast and
back country were reputed cannibals,
and with good reason. One of these was
the Attakapa, from whom the Louisi-
ana parish get its name, which signifies
"man-eaters." Another was the Karan-
kawa tribe, on Matagorda hay, with
whom the French captives from La
Sales expedition witnessed many a
barbarous feast In 1850 the priests Of
the old San Antonio mission drew up

converts. and among the questions to
