There are some popular beliefs not

many "madstpnes' In thk country. and
the believers In their efficacy always

a sense. the porous stones are public

~ Ohio negro named Depp. and on his
death was placed In the State library Mt
Columbus. from which. according TO re-
ports. Il was recently taken and applied

supposedly rabid dog. The same report
stated that the dog was not mad at all.
but that the woman received blood pol

who settled In Me- ada. He said that
the stone had beeL. used In Russia for

submitted documents written on pa rch-
ment In Russian. which the people OF
Nevada had 10 take on faith, as they
could not read the language. He offer
