The rice-like seeds produced this year on the
bamboo plants in Midnapore, India, are being
examined with interest. These plants rarely
flower, and the appearance of flowers and fruit
seem to mark some peculiar climatic conditions,
which are locally believed to herald the APP
proach of famine. How to make the plants
yield these edible seeds in famine years is now
the problem.

A cheap substitute for marble claiming adj
vantages over the natural product has been
brought out by 8. Sborowitz, Of Berlin. A stir
mass is formed by pounding together asbestos,
dyeing substances, shellac and ashes, and this is
subjected to great pressure, the resulting mate
rial being firm and tough and easily worked and
polished. 1t has the appearance of fine grade
of marble 1t can be moulded into any shape,
and is more durable in contact with water than
other artificial marbles

Incandescent lamps emit more heat than is
generally supposed, only six per cent. of the
energy of the current being converted into
light. A 16-candle-power lamp fed by current
of 100 volts has heated ten ounces of water to
boiling point in an hour, and fires celluloid in
five minutes.

Trouble on the Reservation.

Last Monday evening Indian Police
man Godfrey Montferrand, of Grand
Portage, and Captain John s. Mckay,
the Reservation farmer arrived with two
prisoners whom they kept at the jail
until the next boat left for Duluth,
The prisoners were Charles Colborn and
Jos. Thomas and they are charged with
taking whiskey on the reservation. The
former is from Cloquet and the latter
from Port Arthur. On Thursday after
noon their attorney L. U. G. Titus ap.
piled to John Drouillard for a writ OF
habeas corpus which Mr.. Drouillard
issued and served on the sheriff, but
when the sheriff came to get the men
they were not in the Jail SO that he
could not deliver them as directed in
the writ. Policeman Montferrand and
Capt. Mckay left on the boat with the
prisoners for Duluth and Attorney Titus
accompanied his clients there. The
next chapter in the episode will be en-
acted at that place.
LATER. were informed last
evening that the men were DISCHARGED
yesterday in Duluth.

s5THUMB-MARK AS: a SEAL.


An. army officer in Arizona used TO-
make his orders for payment on q
camp sutler, and use his own thumb
mark to serve the same purpose as the
elaborate markings on bank checks:
The thumb-mark has been used in
China and elsewhere in attesta ton OF
deeds. Sir William ,Herschel intro
duced finger marks for practical pur-
poses in several ways in India. He had
heard that Chinese criminals in early
times were made to give the impress
sions of their fingers just as the Grim
; inals of this country are now photo
graphed. In Egypt the criminals were
made to seal their confessi ons with
their thum bnails, as the country serv-
ant girls used to seal their letters. Ac-
cordingly Sir William adopted the reg
istration of finger markings for pen
sioners. He suspected that others
personated these officials after the
pensioners were dead; he therefore
employed this means of identifioati ton.
This led to the scientific tifica tion
of crimdnals-each prisoner signed
book with his finger. Comparing the
signatures Of persons made after an
interval of 20 years he proved that
time makes no such material differ
ence as to affect the utility of the plan.
There is a marked difference between
the marks of males and females.

A Veteran Indian Dead.

Joseph Allowance, who has been here
from the Odanah reservation for some
few weeks, visiting his sons David and
Swamper Carriboo, died last Sunday
evening at the residence of Swamper
Oarriboo. The cause Of his death was
pneumonia which he had contracted q
few days before.
The deceased was man of consider.
able note among the Indians and had
reached the advanced age of 78 years
He lived for great many years at Clio:
quetwhere be was the head man, later he
moved to this place where he lived about
thirty years ago; from here he went
to Odanah where he was one of the
Indian committee. Az medicine man,
OF Indian doctor, those who know him
say that he was one of the few that were
left that seemed to have the secrets of
that class.

GROWING BUFFALO HERDS.
Canadian Bison Promise to Become
Quite Numerous In the Next
Few Years.

The buffaloes are increasing in such
proportions in Canada that they
promise in the course of few years
to become again fairly abundant.
Some time ago they threatened to
become extinct, says Quebec report.
The herd of woods buffaloes in
the Peace river district has trebled
in size under the protection afforded
it by the Northwest mounted police.
Five years ago it was estimated that
there were not more than 80 buffaloes
in the herd; now there are 400.
In appearance there is little differ
ence between the woods buffalo and
the plains buffalo. The former is
merely larger, richer-coated animal
1t differs materially, however, in its
habits from the subspecies which in
habited the plains, and which has un-
doubtedly passed away, except for
the presence of a few animals in cap
tivity and in the Yellowstone Nation
al park.
This species preferred the plain and
travelled hundreds of miles in it's an
nual migrations, while the Canadian
buffalo shuns the prairie and migrates
but little.

Study of Soils.

The Investigations on agricultural
soils which are being conducted in this
country are probably unsurpassed in
quality and extent by those of any
country, unless it be Russia, where a
very systematic and extensive line of
Investigations, including a survey and
classification of the soils of the whole
country, has been in progress for a
number of years, says the Popular Sci
ence Monthly. The work in this coun-
try has been carried on mainly by a
number of the agricultural expert
ment stations and the divisions OF
soils OF the national department of ag-
riculture. The report of the field OPP
erations of the division of soils for
1899, by Prof. Milton Whitney and a
number of his assistants, lately is
sued, is report of progress in survey
ing the soils of the United States. Dur
ing the year areas aggregating about
100000 acres were studied in the field
and mapped.
