Indians Tricky in business

Indians on the reservation near
Green Bay, Wis, are fast developing
traits that belle their supposed SIM
plicity in business transactions. For
many years the chief source of their
revenue has been in selling ginseng
to Milwaukee and st. Louis dealers
Only the dried root has a CONNER
cial value, however, and, though the
price is five dollars per pound, they
could not make enough to satisfy
them, and at last hit upon a novel
scheme whereby their gains might
be increased at the expense of the
dealers. When fresh dug the gin
seng roots are large and juicy, and it
was an easy matter to scoop out the
central part and fill it with a sub
stance having more specific gravity
than ginseng. Generally they used
shot, but gravel, bits of iron, and
even glass have been discovered by
the wholesale men at Milwaukee,
with the result that they have ceased
buying from the Chicago
Inter Ocean.

FEAR THE FEAR OF DEATH.
An Interesting Showing of the
Chances of Life from the Inves-
LEGATIONS of Scientists.

We should be afraid of the fear of
death-not of death itself. If we fol-
low this rule there is no reason why
we should not all become centenarians
so we are told in the Revue d'Econo-
mic Politique by NJ. Jean Finot, says
the Literary Digest. The author
begins an article on the limitaI
tons of life by mentioning some
traditional long lives. Among these
cases are those of resident of
Goa, who is said to have reached his
400th year in the enjoyment of all his
intellectual faculties; Scotchman
who lives to be over 200 years old, and
various monks of Mont AthOs who
have reached $50 years. He asserts
that Servian statistics for 1897 show 3,
persons between 1875 and 140 years old,
IS from 126 to 1876, 1913 from 115 to 1875,
and 300 from~10 to lis. In 1890 there
were, he says, in the United States,
1881 persons over 100 years old, and 81
in London. NJ. Finot cites a mathe-
NAUTICAL formula, which he credits to
DR.. Richardson, by which any one may
get an idea of his probable length of
life. 1t is only necessary to add the
ages of ones father and mother to
those of ones two grandfathers and
two grandmothers. and the total di-
vided by six indicates the exact number
of years one should live. NJ. Finot does
not believe that the average length of
human life has been reduced. On the
contrary, he believes that it is con-
stantly increasing, owing to the prog
ress of hygiene. Why do we grow old
at all? The writer answers:
For three reasons: (D Want of
physical exercise in the open air; (2)
poisoning by microbes, which the
phagocytes have not succeeded in de-
stroying; (3) fear of death. It's hard
to imagine the importance of this last
element. If man fears death, it will
carry him away. And yet it is quite
pleasant to die; no sensation could be
compared to it."
To prove this assertion NJ. Finot
quotes Helm, who related the sensa-
lions he experienced while falling with
his companions from the summit of
one of the Alps to death which he
miraculously escaped:
''At' first a sense of beattitude, then
complete insensibility to touch and
pain; finally an extreme rapidity of
thought and of imagination, which in
a few seconds enabled him to recollect
the events of his whole life. Therefore,
it is not death we should fear, but the
fear it inspires in us. We are wrong,
says Socrates, to fear death, as it is
our great possession on earth, and
Seneca adds that it is the best of the in
ventions of life, while Montesquieu
concludes that we should shed tears
for men when they are born and not
when they die"
NJ. Henry de Varigny examines the
question of longevity in ILLUSTRATION
from another point of view. He asks:
"Has the man of to-day a chance to
live longer than the man of 1000 years
ago? He bases his. conclusions upon

ABOUT GLASS BATHTUBS.
From Present Indications They Are
Soon to SuppIant Those of En-
ameI and Metal.

Bathtubs of glass may be expected
to replace enamel and metal ones
soon. They are being made in Ger
many now and are said to have many
advantages over metal and enamel
the principal one being that they are
much cheaper, says the Philadelphia
Telegraph. Besides bathtubs, tanks
and watts such as are used by brew
ers, distillers and sugar refners are
being made of glass, and the manu-
facturer is confident that he can re-
place those for which clay, wood,
cement and metal are now commonly
used, with superior articles construct
ed at lower cost. Glass bathtubs are
not fragile. Those being made now
are five and six feet long, about two
feet wide and about two and one-half
inches thick. They are made in a
solid piece, and one can be made com
plete in about five minutes.
This is owing to a new process of
blowing glassware by means of com
pressed air, The process was invented
in Pittsburg about 90 years ago, but
was limited to making bottles and
similar small-sized articles. Paul
Stevert, of Dresden, has improved it.,
and under his process there need be
no limit. within reason, to the size of
the article made. The method is SIM
plicity itself. The molten glass is
taken from the furnace and placed in
a mold, which can readily be swung
to any desired position. Compressed
air is thus admitted through a feXi-
BILE tube which connects with the bot
tom of the mold. The air pressure is
regulated by valves. AS soon as the
article is finished it is switched into
an annealing chamber, where it is
again heated and then allowed to
cool. This toughens it, and after the
process it is ready for use.
Plates of large size are being made
Of glass by an adaptation of the same
process. In this case an ornamental
design is first made on a sheet of pc
culiar composition, which remains
moist for some time. Colored glass
is spread over this to work out the
design. Then the sheet is placed on
the glass plate and the whole is heat
ed in the oven. The heat consumes the
sheet on which the design was made,
leaving only the layer of colored glass,
welded into the plate. Some remark
able and very picturesque effects are
made in this way.

Inverness, the capital of the High
lands, is threatened with terrible
calamity, according to DR.. Davidson,
of Birmingham, an authority in SETS
mology. 1t is known to biologists
that Inverness occupies a most in

the great crack, or crevasse, in the
geographical formation of the north
ern part of the island, which. as the
Caledonian canal, cuts the country in
two. He warns the inhabitants of

ANATURAL-BOR
KICKER

THE man who alleges that he be-
longs over toward Pochuck came
swinging in apparently heavily
charged with news of late Pochuck
happenings and so eager to unload
them that he did not pause even long
enough on the tavern threshold to
stamp the mud off his boots.

Farmer Bill Leonard pushed his

ton:
Evidently there was among the
Egyptians a natural selection, result
ing from environment. that does not
take place to-day at least to the same
degree among civilized people. The
Egyptians who reached the age of 6S
years had robust constitutions and
thereto ore their chances of longevity
were exceptional. Mortality was higher
among the children and the adults. and
there was kind of selection by death.
The man of the day is not stronger:
he is possibly weaker. But the major
ity of the people live under conditions
more favorable to longevity. because

progress of sanitary science in the

increase of vitality. 1t is the conse-
