were used for. On the next farm to
the east one cache was found. Here
also is clearing and small settlement

A large spring with its many divergent
tracks shows the water source for the

was lined with small poles, and earth
was heaped up around it so that the
store house seemed to be built in
mound. From this farm trail extended
to the Chippewa farm mile east. The
trail was plainly visible and there was
no mistake concerning the use it was
put to when an examination of the well
worn foot path in the middle of the
road was made. This trail runs along

hill side near the Big Eau Pleine.
This has been farmed SO often that the
Indian marks are slight. The trail from
the Chippewa farm extends down the

The third trail in this section started

Seek Substitute for Suns Rays.

Experiments are being actively pur-
sued on both sides of the Atlantic to
see whether it is not possible to dis
cover some light which would have
the same effect on vegetation as has
the sun. Science is familiar with the
composition of the solar rays to a
large extent, and it is not regarded as
unreasonable to seek for an artificial
substitute. As a matter of fact, the
rays from an acetylene lamp have
been found to approximate very
closely to sunlight. So much is this SC
that fairly well developed plants have
been produced which have never
known the daylight, the whole course
of their existence having been spent
under the influence of acetylene light.

Cheaper Postage.

w. ID. Bayer, of Chicago, has sub
mitted a remarkable proposal to the o..
S. government. In brief it is as fol-
lows:
To turn over the postoffice business
to 100000 private corporation un-
der full government regulation.
To reduce by one-half all postal rates,
establish rural postal express and apply
business methods throughout.
To pay the government rental for post
Office quarters, and charge it regular
rates for its postal business.
TO place in charge well-known rail-
road traffic expert to whom the place
has been offered at 10000 annually.
To eliminate all sinecures, politics,
and the deficit.
To pay the government all profits
above per cent, on capital.
There is no question but by applying
business methods to post office affairs
the people will be greatly benefited.
"All want is to get myself and my
proposition taken seriously" he de-
clared. "After that it will be easy, for
the public wants lower post rates. l
am not a man to be making bluff at
thing like this; have too many inter.
ests that could be seriously injured by
such a course. The backing is ready to

A railway accident, as novel as 1t
was In its way sensational, is reported
from Dunkirk, Scotland. A herd of
"a horses and 81 donkeys and mules,
tethered for the night on some open
ground near the station, were so ter
rified by storm that they broke loose
and stampeded down the line. Into
the dense mass of galloping animals a
fast train from Calais dashed at high
speed, killing 20 horses and seven
Of the other beasts, of which the car
cases were horribly mangled. The
slaughter forced the train to slow
down, aud it was impossible to get
ND steam again, as the remnants of
the herd trotted calmly back in front
to Dunkirk. The owner of the AMI
mails was one of the passengers.

The Vision of Insects.

A notable fact about the vision of
Insects, and one which it may be sup
posed must largely influence their
view Of the external world, is the
number of facets, or lenses, in COM
pound eyes. A German naturalist, X.
Leinemann, has been painstaking
enough to count the number of facets
in the eyes of no fewer than $50
species of beetle. He finds that in the
same species and sex the number in
creases with the size of the body.
There is usually no permanent diff
ferences between the sexes as to the
number of facets. Occasionally, how
ever, the difference is marked, as in
the case of Lampyris splendidula, in
which the male has $500 and the
female 800. One species is noted
which has the extraordinary number
of $4,000 facets in it's eye. The num-
Der of facets is greater in the rapidly
moving active forms than in the more
sluggish species.
