About Our "Indian Summer"

Prof Cleveland Able, chief of the
United States weather bureau, refer
ring in Science to the exhaustive arti-
Gle on the origin of the term Indian
summer" which WAS published in the
Monthly Weather Review, says:
Its first recorded appearance Is In
the year 1794, in the journal Of Major
Ebenezer Denny, for October 10, 1894,
while at lie Boeuf. a few miles from
the present city of Erie, Pa, and there
can be no doubt that the term was i'll
extensive use and well recognized at
that time. Since that date numerous
explanations have been given by differ
ent persons as to the origin and orig
inal meaning of the term, but these are
of the nature of myths or hypothesis
and 1t Is very much to be hoped that
we shall yet discover earlier cases and
the true history of Its Introduction.
According to the late DR.. Brinton,
the phenomenon of a spell of mild
weather occurring In the fall of the
year was recognized by the Indians and
was by the Algonquin tribes connected
with the story of their culture hero
the great Michabo. ''In the autumn
In the moon of the falling leave, !"
says Brinton. In his Myths of the
New World" 'ere he (Michabo) com
poses himself for his winters sleep he
fills his great pipe and takes godlike
smoke The balmy clouds float over
the hills and woodland, filling the air
with the haze of the Indian summer !"
In England this period of mild wealth
er, which annually recurs In October
or November, is known as st. Martins
summer.

Toilet of a Lady Ant.

4 naturalist has been making obser-
yations on the toilets of certain ants,
and has discovered each insect goes
through most elaborate additions.
They are not only performed by her
self, but by another, who acts for the
time as lady's maid. The assistant
starts by washing the face of her com
panion, and then goes over the whole
body.
The attitude of the ant that is being
washed is one of intense satisfaction.
She lies down with ali her limbs
stretched loosely out; she rolls over on
her side, even her back, perfect pic
ture of ease.
The pleasure the little insect evinces
being thus combed and sponged is real
ly enjoyable to the obseryer.-London

This Vermonter Has Been Cured of De-
sire for Investigation.
Up in a Vermont town not very far
this side of Montpelier is town school
supervisor who never will again stop
to investigate buzzing music at rail-
way crossing. The man who, figurat-
lively speaking, ran up against the
crossing and very forcibly found it was
loaded, lives a few miles away from
what is known as the Finley Bridge
crossing of the Central Vermont Rail
road. There is a big cliff that juts out
Of the White river and the track cuts
sharp curve around 1t. Most of the
time the locomotive whistles cannot be
heard on the other side Of the big
rock promontory by people on the high.
way.
The school supervisor was taking 4
load of bark to the village, four miles
away. Stirred by series of accidents
the railway officials, unknown to the
supervisor. had installed an electric
signal bell that rings when trains gel
within a certain range of highway
crossing. The supervisor heard the
ringing of the gong, but he had never
heard anything Hike 1t before, and he
marveled both at its source and Its
object He continued on until he was
directly upon the track, when an idea
found lodgment in his head. With
wagon full athwart the track, ha
stopped his team, wound the reins
around the whipstock, and, jumping
down TO the ground, lowed as how he
would see what the pesky thing was,
and walked over to the post mo-
ment later he learned, but not through
looking at the post. A fast freight
swept around the curve and smashed
the wagon into fragments, badly inJur-
ing one of the horses, and started the
other on wild run down the road.
The gentleman with the investigating
turn Of mind recently has been re-elect-
ed as the head of the educational de
partment of the town, and to-day still

An odd Nugget of Gold.

There have been many large and
oddly shaped gold nuggets found in
the United States and elsewhere, but
the oldest of them all was that dis
covered at the Midhas mine, on Sulky
gully, near Melbourne, Australia, in
1887. The nugget was fiat and almost
the exact counterpart in contour of a
colossal human hand held open, with
the exception of the thumb and fore
finger, which were closed together in
manner SO as to make it appear that
the thumb was holding the finger in
place. Its greatest length was 1914
inches and its greatest breadth 8
inches.
1t was of the very purest gold, with
but little of foreign substances adj
herring, mostly between the fingers"
and weighed 617 ounces. 1t was found
in the northwest main drive of the
Midhas mine, 120 feet below the sur
face of the earth and at spot only
fifty feet from where the famous Lady
Brassey nugget was discovered the
year before. 1t weighed fifty
pounds of pure gold

The foreman, who had been making
