RACES WITH HARD HEADS.
Which Are Almost Bomb
Proof.

1t is commonly believed that the
southern negro has a thicker skull
than any other race, but, while dark
eys have a Uranium almost bombproof,
1t is to be questioned whether they
compare to certain of the Moorish
tribes.
These tribes, In the vicinity of Nor
Deco. are inordinately proud Of their
thick skulls, and from babyhood the
beads of the boys are kept shaven, that
the inherent tendency toward thick
ness of skull may be increased.
They have developed their heads to
such a degree that one of the diver
sions OF tourists In Morocco is to pay
one of these youngsters a sum equiva
lent to about half cent for the priv.
lege q breaking bricks on his head.
The skull forms natural defense
and when attacked the Moorish lac
wards on his opponents blows by low
ering his head and receiving thu
thrusts upon his skull.
The thickness Of the negros skull Il
ascribed to the scanty covering Of hal
upon his pate, nature endeavoring t
protect the brain from the rays OF tn
sun by increasing the thickness Of tn
skull.

A COMPLICATED MACHINE.
When a Man Gets an Automobile on
His Hands He Likewise
Gets Busy.

Purchasers of automobiles cannot, a.
rule, get their vehicles into commits
sion too soon. Yet the Hartford Cour-
ant tells of man who bought a steam
car early last winter and in July had
yet to take his first ride. Meanwhile.
however, Mr.. Blank. the owner Of the
car, had been busy. He has been ut
ting his automobile with extra appli-
apces and having heaps of fun in put
ting them on for himself.
When the reporter inspected this be-
decorated vehicle, the new attachments
included six lamps of various kinds, a
clock, barometer, thermometer. a
grade indicator, an odometer, q speed
indicator, huge horn known as a
dragon" an electric belA steam
whistle, an ''eradicator" for getting rid
of small boys and few other things.
The lamps include electric lights far
Illuminating the tonneau and the vari-
GUS gauges and Indicators on the dash.
These lamps are supplied with current
by storage batteries under the seats.
Switches are located in box on the
ieIt size Oh the uaSn.
The device Mr.. Blank calls his Grad
icator" consists of steam jet placed
out of sight in the rear. When small
boy hooks on" In the rear, he uncon-
sciously informs the driver Of his pres
ence by ringing a small electric bell.
Thereupon the driver presses plung-
er and shoots jet of steam in the
direction of the intruder's legs, not to
harm him. but to make him jump.
Another novelty is fan belt indi-
Gator. which tells at glance whether
the fan is running. or whether the belt
Is broken or become slack.
Mr.. Blank has spent about $500 In
putting all these attachments on his
machine, and he thinks there may
still be things he has missed.

POWER OF LIFE AND DEATH
Trick with q Postum Playing Adder
That Was Too Much for
the Natives.


There is pug -nosed belligerent littls
reptile known as the hog-nosed adder
that has a trick of playing possum when
attacked. II 1t once gets started on the
role the snake can be tied into knots
and handled Unfortunately for an
hour or more.
While snake hunting in the south a
year or two ago. relates the New York
Sun, Mr.. Ditmars plotted to win the ad-
miration of his guide and the popula-
ton by announcing that he had marvel
GUS powers. He was endowed with the
gift of destroying life by sign.
The natives had never heard Of this
possum stunt of their dreader adder.
and when the performer formed them
in circle around specimen found in
the fields they quaked in their boots:
such as had boots.
The magician advanced rapidly as IL
to attack the inclosed snake, pointed
his finger to the sky, muttered to him
self and the adder obediently turned
on its back. 1t was timidly passed
from hand to hand
The performer beamed with salts
faction. He would go one better. II
the audience would form larger cir
Gle he would restore life to the dead
reptile.
The audience obeyed. The snake
found all surroundings peaceable after
. few minutes. and turned over. to
slide away to parts unknown.
Mr.. Ditmars faced around to accept
the admiration of his guides. but the
landscape was all still life. To the last
ragged urchin his assistant shakers
were gone, never to exhibit their faces
in camp again.

OF Interest To Potato Growers.

During the past summer, nearly
everyone who made any pretense at
gardening have similar story to
relate concerning their extensive
loss 10 the potato crop, due almost
entirely to blight.
For the benefit of those who en-
gage IN this industry we present a
formula for the blight, which comes
from an authoritive source, and is
as follows:
Abs Copper sulphate or Blue vitrioi.
Abs Unslacked Lime,
so gals of water.
Dissolve the copper sulphate in
hot water, using an earthen vessel.
Stake the lime in tub, adding the
water cautiously, only in sufficient
quantities to insure thorough slak-
ing. When thoroughly slaked more
water may then be added and stirred
to the consistency OF thick cream.
When this is done, pour both to.
gether in separate receptical, and
mix thoroughly. Before using
strain through cloth,
If the vines have bugs on them
add a half pound OF Paris green tc
the mixture. NJ
Begin with the use Of the mixture
about the middle Of July, and repea,
ia about two weeks; third spraying
should be given about August 10Th
when further trouble from. bligh,
will be at an end.
