1.-THE drought is going TO cause a material
reduction in the attendance of Indiana
people at the ~Pan-American Exposition"
said Adjutant General Ward yesterday. 1T

the National Guard that will act as Gov
ernor Durbin's escort on Indiana day. Sept.
ii. A few weeks ago / was confident that
at least 500 members of the guard would
go to Buffalo that week, but now / think
we will be fortunate if $50 can secure
leaves of absence from their private bust
ness to make the trip. You see, the dry
spell cutting off the crops has affected the
pocketbooks of the farmers and has also
caused the merchants in the smaller towns
to look much more sharply after the nick
els and dimes than they ordinarily do. For
this reason, the members of the National
Guard that are engaged either in farming
or business will have trouble getting away
this fall TO take a pleasure trip"
General Ward was elated yesterday over
the receipt of a letter from Major Wood,
who has charge of the military arrange
ments of the exposition, extending a cor
dial invitation to the Indiana troops that
that are in Buffalo the week of Sept. ga
to act as part of the escort of the Governor
of Rhode Island on Rhode Island day"
Tuesday, Sept 10. A similar letter was re-
ceived by Hoyt n. McKain. captain OF
Company ID Undianapolis), of the Second
Regiment of the National Guard. Captain
McClain said yesterday that inasmuch as
a number of the men in his company can
not get away from indianapolis the week
of Sept. 9-14 and he has secured a tentage
for seventy-two men on the exposition
grounds. he has decided to invite men from
the other local companies of the state
militia to go as a part of a special COM

MEN WITH GREEN HAIR.
A Peculiar Addiction Which visits
workers In Copper.


According to Professor l.. Levin, Ber-
lin, distinguished German scientist
the hair of some copper workers Is al
most certain to turn green sooner or
later. The professor has studied the
subject for years, and he tells the result
Of his Investigations in the Deutsche
Medizinische Wochenschrift.
"For nearly $50 years." he says, "sci-
entists have known that the hair Of per-
sons employed in copper works is apt
to become grccn--a curious fact and one
which is especially interesting from
biological point of view. The general pc
lief, however, that the hair becomes
green after few days work in summer
IS erroneous. Workmen perspirc freely
during the summer, and the dust from
the copper naturally clings to their skin
and tends to give their hair a greenlsh
hue. This green, however, can be easily
washed off.
1.-The true green docs not appear in the
hair Of workmen until they have been
some years Mt the business, and neither
by washing nor by the use of chemicals
can they ever wholly rid themselves of 1t.
l have examined over 800 workmcn, and
vet found that only eight of them had
my trace Of green in their hair. / eX-
amined one man, brass polshcr, who
had been 81 years in the factory, and
] found his hair Of natural color On
the other hand, l found another polisher
who had green beard. Even animals
hair becomes green under such condi-
tons. This was clearly proved to me
by the discolorcd hair Of goat which
used to frequent certain copper factory
and which used to drink daily without
any evil results the water in which the
copper was washed.
"In the case OF workmcn the hair of
the head and beard changes color more
often than that of the eyebrows, and, as
q rule, the beard changes first. On men
with white or fair hair the change can
be noticed more readily than those with
dark hair. Another peculiar fact Is that
after some years the green may disap'
pear from the hair, provided the work
man is no longer employed at this trade
l knew one old man whose hair, which
was very green while he was working
at copper, became snow white soon after
he ceased to work. On the other hand,
q story is told of a workman whose hair,
which was white while he was ut work,
became green within five months after
he had stopped working.
an the cases which / studied the
green was spread evenly over the whole
hair, which is curious in view Of the
fact that two other scientists who have
been studying this subject discovered
more green at the roots Of the hair than
anywhere else. The color itself, | found,
varied from the lightest green to the very
darkest"

THE NEED OF REST.
English Specialist Says Americans
Lack Power of RepOsc.

Professor Eustacc II. Miles, formerly
lecturer ut Cambridge university, Eng
land, and the head authority on athletics
In that institution, contributed to The
Saturday Evening Post leading article
on "Falacics About Training" In the
course Of it he writes:
a serious evil in the modern training
system is the constant tension Of the
nerves and muscles. At Cambridge
used to watch my athletic pupils, and
none Of them seemed to have acquired
the power Of repo>o, They were always
on the stretch. When the time came
near for instance for the university boat
race or the football match the tension
reached an extreme, aud the men seemed
quite unable to be at their ease.
1T is strange that while the trainers
pcrpctually teach their men TO exercise
they never teach them to rest. The whole
Of nature seems to work on the principle
Of altcrnatious; first work, then rest.
We see ii in day and night in breathing
out and breathing in. ] need not give
other instances, many Of which can be
found in one of EmcrSon's essays. What
/ wish To insist on her" is that while we
teach men to exert themselves and to
strive and to tie themselves up into knots
we seldom or never teach them 10 relax
themselves, to be ut rest and to undo
their nerves and muscles.
at is Americans especially who need to
relax, to smooth themselves out and, for
example, to let their arms and hands
hang limp and heavy. II the business
