Fails to Die as Scheduled.

from tne hOreA D6lly news.
The unavailing efforts Of centenarian
to die on particular day were recently
responsible for an extraordinary scene at
the island shrine of Sadha Bella, at Sukkur.
India. A Sadhu. aged 10. arrived at the
shrine from distant village and an
nounced that he had arranged to die at
IL pm. on the sixth day from that date.
which happened to be specially sacred
day Of fasting among the Hindus. At the
same time he handed the priest Of the tenn
pie ESQ and gave him instructions as to
the kind Of funeral he desired. The news
spread like wildfire throughout the district.
and hundreds of people repaired daily to
the island shrine to obtain glimpse Of
the mysterious man. When the day he
had predicted would be his last arrived
the crowds OF people who came were enor-
nous, and by nightfall 1t is estimated that
nearly 10000 had visited the shrine. For
three days the Sadhu had cut down his
diet to very small quantity of milk but
even this was discontinued on the day that
was to have proved fatal All the old mans
efforts, however, were in vain. Several
times he tried desperately to breathe his
last. but failed. Numbers Of natives stayed
with him until long after midnight In the
expectation of seeing his prediction fulfilled
Finally they went away, apparently much
disappointed. The chief result OF the Sa-
dhu's efforts was that a large heap of
coins and sweets were placed at his feet
by the curious throng Of spectators

him to death in any conceivable way.
Natural sleep has been defined as men
tai rest produced by an appetite resulting
from fatigue. But the idea that mental
rest means mental inaction Is hardly ten
able. inasmuch as 1t quite frequently
happens that the solution of unsolved
problems is the first thing to appear in
the consciousness on awakening. and
thus the mind must have been operative
while asleep.
greatest depth Of sleep occurs about the

Red Clouds Grandson.
From the New York Times.


The historic Indian is not to be always
forbidden to live and shine In posterity. It
is true that we have no authentic success
sors Of the lines. for instance, Of Tecumseh
or Pontiac or Philip of Narragansett adorn-
ing our civic or military life and carrying
on thus the fame of their ancestry, though
1t were but in support Of the p1 etensions
of the conquering people which has sup
planted them. Those names would shine
brightly on our rosters and registers of
service II circumstances had distributed
them th"re. But there are no instances of
the kind to be remembered. When those
great chieftains pegged out they went Alto
gether without handing over their names Of
glorious aboriginal renown to be a possess
sion and memory to their successors, and
to be carried on into other high arenas OF
action and herOism. Another Osceola or
I Powhatan in our civil war would have dou-
bled the credit of the names and given them
a much extended lease of memory and
honor.
But now that Red Clouds grandson has
come into the navy and intends to work his
way up through the ascending grades Of
the service, mounting far above those of
the bo's'n tight and the midshipmite, 20
no! a new era dawns for the red man. and
higher glories than any of his old ones may
be restored to him. With fortune to favor
him, he may take his place alongside of the
Decaturs and the Joneses and the Farra-
CUTS and the Perrys and have statues set
up in populous cities to commemorate his
valiant deeds. The navaf exploits of his
tribal forebears having nothing but dugouts
and bark canoes to do battle with could
not have amounted to much, but with a
couple Of generations mighty changes come
In beyond the provision of their smartest
medicine men or experts In prophecy.
Should Red Clouds grandson in the turning
of time ever come to the command OF big
battleship, with his word Of command en-
powered to launch all its thunderSolts his
ancestor in the happy hunting grounds will
be justified in disating with any number
and pressure of proud emotions. The pros
pect that this ambitious example will be
followed by descendants Of all the heroic
old Indians of our frontier history may car
ry a shade of anxiety with it. but SO far
probably there is no serious danger. Red
Clouds successor carries a revised name
into the service not to be distinguished from
those of the ordinary run of sailor lads. We
shall not fail to make the red man welcome,
them and to give him praise and recogni-
ton according to the measure OF his deserts.

Prot. Langley Is dead and his chief engi-
neer. Mr.. Manley, Is In New York, engaged
In other lines Of work.
Some Bitterness Felt.
There Is a good deal Of bitterness felt
by some Of Prof. Langleys friends in
Washington over the way his work was
received while he was living. His expert
ments cost a good deal Of money. and
they were based on exact scientific ca1cu-
lations with the view of producing a ma
chine that would fly and carry a man at
the first attempt rather than on the theo-
ry OF learning to walk before learning to
run. 1t Is claimed by some OF the scien-
lists who are most familiar with Prof
Langleys work that his machine is prac-
tically perfected now and that the only
reason 1t did not fly at the last trial was
that two very small pieces of metal
caught on the launching frame and upset
it before it ever started. Be that as 1t
may. the method OF his work was costly.
and SO much so that there Is a hesitancy
about pushing 1t further in the present
stage. OF the art.
There was a good deal of fun poked at
Prot. Langley's work. and though the
most of 1t was good natured. or intended
to tie so. 1t was taken very seriously by
both Prof. Langley and those associated
with him, and had much to do with finally
stopping the work altogether.
