STRANGE TRIBE EATS DIRT.
Remarkable Discovery Made In the
Tennessee BEckwoods.


A colony of dirt eaters has just been
discovered in the backw0ods Of Coffee
county. Tenn not more than seventy
miles from Nashville. says the Chicago
Inter Ocean. These strange people
were found by a party II prospectors
a few days ago They live IN rude
huts and have few u the necessities
Of life.
The general appearance Of the adults
is that 81 wing cadavegs. Their eyes
are deeply sunkel and devoid OF ex-
preston. Their lips are 0f q blush
white tinge, and the general coMplex-
ion is q dirty white The children all
have this appearance, their st0machs
being l.stendeL 20 an abnormal size
These queer people wear few clothes.
The men are suspicious and can hardly
be approached or engaged IN conversa-
ton In any manner The children
scamper into the woods at the sight of
8 stranger and can be seen only now
and then as they poke their heads
from under shrub or from behind q
tree.
Within the last few days a number
OF persons have gone from Tullaboua
% investigate these people and heir
habits. Several families have been dis.
covered near the mountains. They
claim that their fathers cultivated the
unwholesome taste for dirt. one u
the more intelligent men Of the tribe
stated that they eat clay of blush
character found On the mountain sides.
This. 1t seems, produces a sleepy feel.
Ing and those addicted 10 the habit are
victims Of epilepsy. Few OF them live
10 be more than forty or forty.fve
years Of age.
Il was found that not one of them
could read or write. while thev could
hardly understand even very simpla
words Their language Is peculiar
and they appear 10 De mentally dwarf
ed aud physically different from any
other species Of the genus homo.
