How Indian Tribesmen Succeed
Escaping the Police.

How Indian Tribesmen Succeed In
Escaping the Police.
Some Of the Indian tribes over which
we rule give us great deal of trouble,
notably the Mahsuds. The Mahsuds,
however, are not by any means the
worst of the Indian robber tribes, the
unenviable distinction probably falling
to the Bhils, who are the cleverest
scoundrels in the world, both In heir
methods Of acquiring other peoples
property and in evading pursuit.
They are very proud of their skill in
pilfering and openly boast Of 1t. One
of them once told British officer that
he could steal the blanket from under
him and was promptly challenged to
show his ability. That night when the
officer was fast asleep the Bhil robber
cut hole in his tent, crept noiselessly
in and gently tickled the hands and
feet of the sleeping man. The officer
stirred uneasily and turned over. In
this way the Bhil was able to pull the
blanket out little way. BY repeating
his performance he finally succeeded
in "coaxing' the blanket completely
from under the sleeper.
When engaged in his nefarious little
games, the Bhil wears hardly any
clothing, and his 1.-THE body Is rubbed
with oil to facilitate escape from any
would be captors. When hotly pursued
by the British troops, the robbers make
use of very clever device. They con-
ceal their scant clothing under their
small round shields and scatter them
about to resemble stones or powders;
then, picking up few twigs-if there
are any to be had-they assume all
sorts of grotesque attitudes. their al
most feshless limbs silhouetted against
the dark night sky closely resembling
the charred limbs Of tree. Absolute
ly motionless, they hold their positions
till the enemy has passed them.
In this way a British subaltern In
charge Of party sent to capture some
Bhils was considerably startled one
evening. The pursuit had completely
lost sight OF the robbers, and finally
the party drew rein by a clump OF
gnarled and bent tree trunks. tired and
hot from their hard exertions. The Of
ncer in charge took or his hat and
placed It on the end OF broken limb,
when instantly there was q wild scream
of laughter, and the tree trunks sud
denly came to life and vanished in the
darkness.-Hundon Express.

HIGH AND Low GRADE PARIS GREEN AS
SEEN UNDER THE MICROSCOPE.
sively adulterated is the color test.
Pure paris green has bright green
color a shade or two lighter than en-
erald. Any samples which have a dull
or a pale, washed out appearance
should at once be discarded without
further question. BY placing a small
quantity In, say, homeopathic vial
and tapping the latter gently on the
bottom or side adulterants can be made
to separate from the green and can
then be seen as white streaks or patch
es against the glass sides Of the vial.
The pure green remains bright green
against the glass.
In connection with the color test Pro-
fessor Woodwork of the California
station has devised the following SIM
pie test, which can be made by any
one and which will show Immediately
IL the sample is worthy of any further
consideration: Place upon a clean glass
plate a small quantity of green-what
one can easily pick up on the point Of
penknife. Tilt the plate at slight
angle and gently tap the edge just
enough TO cause the green to flow
down, leaving streak across the plate.
IL the green is of good quality. the
streak will be bright, light emerald
green; if adulterated. a whitish or
sickly dull green. Any samples which
exhibit the latter are either adulter-
ated or of low grade and as such are
not worthy of further consideration.
Another very simple way to show the
presence Of adulterants Is the ammo
MIA test. Pure paris green is wholly
soluble N ammonia. while some Of its
common adulterants are not. Therefore
if after dissolving small quantity In
ammonia any residue remains undis-
solved the sample has been adulter-
ated and should be discarded. Unfortu-
nately this test does not show the
presence OF any free or uncombined
arsenious oxide, which, although 1t has
not been considered strictly an adul-
terant on the ground Of Its poisoning
qualities, is nevertheless Objectionable
on account of its injurious action on
the foliage.
One of the quickest and surest
means of determining the presence Of
any adulterant or Objectionable fngre-
dent Is the compound microscope.
