Unique Method by Which Indians

II has been discovered that the
desert Indians. who have never been
accredited with superabundant wit,
have for many years employed n
method of tying their horses to holes
in the ground that Is clever. unique
and effective says the Los Angeles
Herald.
The operation is performed in this
way: Keeping on the hot sands the
Indians dig with their hands. which
arc about rs hard and imperyious to
pain as a dogs paws.
They work energetically. until they
have made hole about two feet deep.
Then they tie an immense knot in the
end of the halter rope. lower II Into

stamp upon 1t unit the earth over the
knot is about as hard as sandstone. 1t
is curious performance. but the skill
of the idea merits applause. for 1t may
be OF practicalA benefit to many a
weary traveller Whose horse is his only
living companion in some heartless
plain, where he clings to his ship.
Instances have been related OF de
sert travellers. who. completely ex-
hausted by the heat. tied the halter
rope about leg, an arm or the body
and lay down in the hot sands to rest.
As they slept the animals, crazed for
water. became like wild things and
plunged madly away, dragging their
human anchors to destruction and
