Now as the tribe does not increase
IN number, and the silversmiths have
been constantly at work for over 200
years the question is often asked:
What becomes of all the articles thus
made? a little knowledge of the GUS
toms of the Navahoes soon makes clear
where these valuable go. Unlike many
Indians of the southwest, Gas the
Havasupais, Wallapais. Mohaves,
1umas, etc. the Navahoes do not
cremate. They bury their dead They
also firmly believe that whatever is
buried with the dead has a spirit which
accompanies the spirit of the dead per-
son to the world of spirits. Every
thing animate or inanimate has a
spirit, and by burial this spirit is re-
leased, and to a spirit is as real as the
object itself was upon the earth.
Hence they bury food, ornaments of
every kind, clothing, musical instru-

dead, with the thought that as they
were all useful to the individual when
alive, they will be equally useful now
that he is dead Great warriors al
ways had bow and arrows and hum
dreds of arrow-points buried with
them, or a battle ak and hammer. The
Navahoes are now beginning to realize
that these buried properties are more
useful to the living than to the dead.
Consequently whenever they find
grave that is unknown to them they
proceed to rife it, and then bring the
contents to the nearest Indian trader.
As result some fine specimens of
ancient work are finding their way
into the market, and many battle
axes, arrow points, spear points, etc,
are being eXhumed.

THE ORIGIN OF PEARLS.
British Scientist Is of the Opinion
That They Are Created by the
Actions of Worm.

For many years the world has be-
lieved that pearls are the result of
mechanical injury to the shellfish in
whose shells they are found. The the
DRY has been that a grain of sand, or
something irritating like it, gets into
the shell and that the mollusc throws
off secretion to cover it, which finally
becomes the pearl.
The world has accepted this explana-
ton, and practically all the text books
describe the formation of the pearl in
that way. Yet everybody who handles
pearls knows that there is no grain of
sand or any similar body in them.
Now Prof. II. l.. Jameson, of the
Geological society, of London, asserts
that the theory is all wrong. He says
that both his studies and his expert
ments prove that the pearl is formed,
not because of an injury from inor-
ganic substances, but because of irri-
tation caused by worm.
This worm, according to Prof. jane
son, is not sea worm, but a para
site of the elder duck. When the ducks
S"AAh III 'AiO SSo, thC SSSS VI INC pa a
site are deposited in the ocean and sink
to the bottom. There many of them
drift with other food into the currents
that flow over the pearl mussel and
pearl oyster beds and so they get into
the shells.
Here they are Matched out. The
young of the parasites then surround
themselves with curious, transpar-
ent, almost invisible sac, and other
parasites are born in turn. They crawl
around the sea bottom till they finally
enter the pearl shells and bore them
selves into the mantle, which is the
skin between the shell and the body
of the shellfish.
In this place the parasites discharge
small lime kernels, which irritate the
mantle of the shellfish until it, too, be-
gins to discharge similar lime forma-
ton.
Sometimes the parasite escapes be-
fore the lime wall has been built COM
pletely around it. Then the pearl
forms itself around the little kernels
discharged by it. Sometimes the worm
is imprisoned and dies, and Jameson
says that he has been able to find the
remains of such worms in pearls.

CAT STOLE DOUGHNUTS.
And Then Divided Her Plumber with
Dog Friend Who Was Al
ways Near Her.

This is true story that my grand
mother told me alDut her cat and dog.
She used to find the cover off her
doughnut jar, and also noticed that
her doughnuts disappeared.
One day she heard a noise, and
found that her cat was on the shelf
where the doughnuts were kept.
Then it put its paw in the jar and
drew out "A doughnut and pushed it
off the shelf; and the dog, who was
looking up at the cat, caught the
doughnut in its mouth and ate it.
When they found they were caught.
they acted very guilty.
Then there was a cat who did not
allow any cat or dog in her yard, and
had a special dislike to the cat who
thought it owned the next yard.
One day the latter cats mistress
went away to have good time for
several weeks, and left her cat with
no food, as people too often do.
Then the cat, who before this wouId
not allow any cat in her yard, actual
ly coaXed the abandoned cat into tho
outer shed where her meals wers
served, and fed the cat in that wav
till the people came back. After that
it would not allow the cat there any
more than before.-Gur Fourfooted

finger ring or two, one or more brace
let's, and sometimes a pair of ear
pendants.
Above all they covet the belt with
large silver disks. Each of these
disks are made of two or more silver
dollars, melted and run into a fat
mould. This thick sheet is then ham
mered out to the required size and
shape, which is either oval or circu-
lar, and chased with small tools. When
finished each disk has a value of twice
its original cost in coin silver. Some
times belt will contain eight or nine
disks and buckle, which cannot be
bought for less than $50 to $40. This,
too, is actual cost price. If the Navajo
doesn't care to part with it an extra
So or $40 or even more is required to
induce him to let it go. In addition
to these objects of personal adorn-
ment, many of the more wealthy have
silver brides. The bride itself is
made of leather or woven horse-hair,
and then the silver strips and bars,
artistically chased and decorated, are
placed and fastened on the head stall.
Silver buttons of pretty and tasty
design are commonly used on CATERS
and moccasins. These are made from
beaten coins, 25 and so cent pieces, and
the diverse side is often found in its
original state as stamped in the United
States or Mexican mint.
The bracelets are of various designs,
sometimes simple round circlets, other
times the silver is triangular, but the
most common shape is a fiat band, on
the outer side of which chasings and
cravings are made. These bracelets
are made so that they can be slipped
sideways over the wrist. These and
all the other articles mentioned are
worn equally by women as men.
The finger rings are often adorned
with a wide setting of turquoise or
garnet. The former is found in various
parts of New Mexico, and on their
reservation they dig garnets, spinel

THE JACK AT PLAY.

arrange under it, in their proper
places, the two arms and the two
legs, giving them a position of rest,
the arms down along the body, the
legs drawn together.
Now to put the limbs and the body
together you stick pin through both
at the joints. Then fold in two one
of the matches, so that its two parts
may be as close together as possible.
The match will be only partly broken,
for some of the fibers of wood will
bend, but not break.
Place the match thus bent in such
a way that, the two branches being
united by drop of sealing wax, the
one to the arm, the other to the body,
the part that makes joining shall
be in close contact with the pin. Do
this with the other arm, and the two
legs and the dancing jack will be fin
ished.
Now let us give Jack" some life.
Pour very thin layer of water into
plate, and lay your jack in it, the
match side down. In a moment or
two, the tibers of wood that are bent
but not broken will absorb enough
water to make them swell, and that
will cause them to make an effort to
straighten out, AS they do this, they
will give our little jack series of
jerky movements that are very anus
ing. He will throw out his arms and
his legs just like the little fellows
that are put together with strings

WAS HIS OWN VICTIM.
Monkey with an Opera Glass Looked

The pet monkey of German profess

Well knowing the initiative habits

curious plan to regain his pet.
He looked at the monkey through

at him for some time, and then he
retired to short distance, leaving the
opera glass on the ground.
The initiative monkey descended
from the tree, and taking the opera
glass, gazed after similar manner.

AERIAL AUTOMOBILE.
1t Will Remain Suspended in the Air
at a Height of Two or Three
Meters.

There is now being constructed in
Brussels a new aerial machine the plan
of which is considerably more ambi-
tious than any of those that have been
evolved in the empire of the air" up
to the present. The inventor, NJ. Viii
lard, Frenchman, 80 years old, who
makes his home in Belgium, is aiming
to solve the problem of "aerial auto
mobilism'-that is, to create type
of automobile that will remain sus-
pended in the air at a'height of two or
three meters, in such way as to be
able to benefit in speed by the diminu-
ton in the resistance to the movement.
The reasoning is that resistance is less
on steel surface than on the ground,
less on water than on steel, and stil
less in the air than on water.
1t is said that this aerial automo-
bile" can be raised over obstacles, such
as hedges, houses or trees. NJ. Willard

Scientific MOSQUITO Breedinr

To get the eggs of new species
of mosquitoes inhabiting South
Carolina swamp, DR.. w. c. Coker, of
the University of North Carolina, had
to borrow the aid of a horse. The
horse was driven into the low ground
haunted by the mosquitoes, and when
he came out the insects were drill
ing through his skin. They were
carefully removed, put in tin buck
ct, fed daily with blood from the
hand, and after about five days, to
the doctors great delight, they laid
their eggs in the water. 1t was to
procure and study these eggs that
he had taken all his trouble.

will not, however, make use of this
cases, his desire being not to raise
himself very high, but to be able to
move rapidly forward.
The exterior aspect of the machine
presents two large disks, made like
two tiattened lamp shades, turning on
pivots fixed to the eXtremities of a
horizontal bar, which, at the, middle,
is attached to the perpendicular bars
supporting the propeller and rudder,
and also the car, with its motor of IA
horse power. The motor acts upon
the propeller (placed in 'front.' and the
two disks. The propeller will make
from ten to Is revolutions per second.
The disks are constructed on the
principle of an American windmill, the
wings being of cloth, triangular in
shape. The disks, which are five me-
ters in diameter, turn in opposite di-
rections at the rate of so revolutions

structed of steel tubes attached to the
framework, or car. He has directly
in front of him all the levers and APP
paratuses necessary to controlling the
movements of the propeller and the
disks.
The actual weight of NJ. Wizards
"aerial auto" is $40 kilogrammes, but
the initial trials, made with motor
of only two horse power, showed that
the force of the disks in movement pro-
duced, after so revolutions, a saving of
140 kilogrammes.
Summed up, says the inventor, this
aviator presents type of automobile
much faster than the kind that runs
on the ground, for the reason that it
encounters but few obstacles, and, ac-
cordingly, the dangers of collisions are
minimized, and public traffic is in no
degree interrupted.
NJ. Willard has devoted five years to
his invention, which is so nearly per-
fected that he expects to begin his
trials in public within few days. His
first experiments were conducted in
the courtyard of the Hotel de Vile, of
Schaesbeck, near Brussels. He con-
structed the various parts of the ma
chine in the cellar of the Mont de Piete
of Brussels, using candles for lighting.
Recently he established his headquar-
ters in the big hall of the Pare du Gin
quantenaire, where the final assem-
bling of the machine has been accom-
plished.
NJ. Willard has maintained the closest
secrecy in his work, and the foregoing
description is the first that has been
communicated to any newspaper

even after the weight of the glass has
been added to that of the water. Rub
the edge of a glass with grease and
then pour in water until it will not
hold another drop. Next bore a hole
in the middle of sheet of cardboard
and, after you have drawn a piece of
Irvine through the hole, knot it at one
end, and then carefully close with wax
that portion of the hole which the knot
does not fill.
Finally. lay the cardboard on the

edge. The glass can now be raised in

suspended from hook, can be made to

Dog That Husks Corn.

One of the latest novelties that has
come from the banks of the Wabash

is the property of Joseph Diffenbaugh,
who lives on the Stevens farm, near

nine months old pup, who watched Mr..
Diffenbaugh husk corn for a few DAYS
and then started out on his own hook,

More ease and speed than the
ordinary farm hand. He wasn't
very careful in piling the corn
and the husks, but he stripped
the husks clean. This unique corn husk-
er then followed the men to the
field and did work right along with
them, and seemed to enjoy his novel
situation as much as the water spaniel
does hunting.

The Power of Egg Shells.

Most people are aware of the pow
er of egg shells to resist external
pressure on the ends, but not many
would credit the results of tests re-
uine. Eight ordinary hens eggs were
submitted to pressure applied exter-
nally all over the surface of the shell,
and the breaking pressures varies be-
tween 400 pounds and 675 pounds per
square inch. With the stresses APP
piled internally to II eggs, these gave
way at pressures varying between SO
pounds and 65 pounds per square
inch. The pressure required to crush
the eggs varied between 40 pounds
and rs pounds. The average thick
ness of the shells was $4,000 inch.
