THE GIANT INDIANS.
Peculiar Ways of the Onas of TERRA

Tho Onas, a tribe of Indians inhabit.

ego island, are physical giants. Their
average height is over six feet A few
are six and one-half feet; few fall be-
low six feet. The women are more cor
pulent and not so tall. There is no
race in the world with a more perfect
physical development than the Ona In
dams. This is partly due to the topog.
raphy of the country and the distribu-
ton Of the game, which makes long
marches across the country necessity.
In mentality they fall far below their
physical attainments. In the past their
supply of game has been plentiful, and
this may account for the lack Of in
ventive genius among them. This lack
of progressive skill is portrayed in their
home life, clothing and homes. Their
children suffer from it, for, contrary to
the practice common among most In
dams of feeding, dressing and training
the children well, the Onas' little ones
are mostly naked, poorly fed and alto
gether neglected. They have abundant
material for supplying themselves with
clothing and homes, and yet they throw
few branches together, put skins over
the windward side and then shiver I'M
der the miserable shelter.
Scientists who have made q study Of
the subject say that the language Of
the Onas is the strangest ever listened
to. Many of the words are not difficult
to pronounce, nor is the construction
Of the sentences difficult, but very few
words are interrupted by sound
which 1t is impossible to produce The
speaker hacks, coughs and grunts, dis
torting his face in the most inhuman
manner, and then passes on to the next
stumbling block. The Onas live princi-
pally upon meat, which in former years
was obtained from the guanaco.-New

Dice From Billiard Balls.

"Well," the man at the desk replied
when a ball is only a little off it is
sent to the factory to be trued up. We

come too small for use. Then we sell
them at so much per ounce.
AFTER their sale they are carved into
various small trinkets, but in the main
they are made into dice. OF the forty

that 80 per cent Of them a few years

WaIIa People to Take VinoI.
Mrs. S. G.. Berry of Middleton

a very weakened condition, no appe-
tlte, thin, nervous, no vitality and q
bad cough. I had hemorrhages, ana
nothing seemed to help me. I read
of what your cod liver oil preparation
Vinol, had done for others and decided
to try it. I found that it soon gave
me hearty appetite; my cough dis

Mr.. Jackson of the above firm says
I'VE nave never sold in our store q
more valuable strength-creator and

than Vinol. This is because VinoI
contains in a concentrated form all OF

THE AMBER HARVEST.
Work Of the Waders and the Diverz
of the Baltic Sea.


The poor people who earn a precari-
Gus livelihood by gathering amber on
the shores of the Baltic sea work only
in the toughest weather. When the
wind blows in from the sea, as it often
does with terrific violence, the powders
are tossed and tumbled at the bottom
and great quantities Of sea wrack are
washed up on the beach. This Is the
harvest of the waders, for hidden in
the roots and branches Of the seaweed
Jumps Of the precious gum may be
found
In other parts Of the coast divers go
crawling on the bottom of the sea for
the Jumps of amber hidden In seaweed
and under rocks. 1t is believed that
once great pine forest fourished here
where the great pillows roll and that
amber Is the gum exuded from the
trees, Of which not vestige remains.
The finds are very variable. The lar
gest piece known, weighing eighteen
pounds, is in the Royal museum in Ber-
lin. The usual finds range from lumpy
as big as mans head to particles Tiki
grains Of sand. The larger pieces are
found damned in rocks or in tangles of
marine vegetation. Divers work from
four to five hours a day in all seasons,
except when the sea is blocked with
ice. The work is 50 arduous that they
are bathed in Precipitation even in the
coolest weather. For all their grinding

their way and increase and multiply as

Curious Astronomical Calculation.
A European astronomer has recently
made some remarkable calculations.
He figures that If all the living repre-

strung out in space and separated from
each other by intervals of a mile the
line would only reach one-third Of the
distance to the planet Neptune. If sep
arated by distances as great as that be-
tween London and Constant1nople the
line would only reach halfway to the
