ABUSE OF THE DEAD.
Queer Custom of the Bagas Forehs Of
French Guinea.

Queer Custom of the Bagas Forehs Of
French Guinea.
The Bagas Forehs, who live in French
Guinea, quit life in a manner anything
but commonplace. When a man dies
his wife and children do not lament
him. Instead they are angry at having
been abandoned. They prop the body
up against the house with the forked
branch of a tree and invite their
friends and relatives to come, all Of
whom are furious that one of their
own has left them. When all the guests
have arrived the wife of the deceased
advances and addresses what was
once her husband in way well calcu-
lated to scare his ghost away from the
neighborhood.
There now, listenl You'd leave me,
would you? So you don't want to live
with me? Why do you do this way?
Haven't 1 always been q good wife to
you? Haven't 1 been a good mother to
your children? Haven't your rice and
fish always been we'll cooked? Have
you anything to reproach me with?
Nothing. Then shall not you go? Cow
ardl Traitor! You shall not leave
without receiving the correction that
such conduct deserves"
Then the blows begin to rain down
upon the poor defenseless figure. Pres
emily the tired wife gives place to the
children, and they in turn to the rela-
tives and friends, all of whom similar
ly abuse it. At length, with a natural
human impulse, their fury spent they
try to make amends to the hap}ess
corpse. They battle it and bury it a
meter deep inside the house, and each
day at the dinner hour the family
places on the tomb some grains of rice
and little palm wine for refreshment
Of the soul should it return.-Washing-

PHOT0GRAPHlNG STARS.
When Done With Ordinary Camera
They Show as Lines, Not Specks.

When Done With Ordinary Camera
They Show as Lines, Not Speeks.
1t is an easy matter merely to pho
togrlph stars. The trouble is to pic
ture them as points and not as streaks
for as the earth rotates it carries the
Photographic apparatus with it, and
the light from the star makes a line,
While the astronomer wants a point.
He must therefore devise a machine
that will counteract the movement Of
the earth and so keep the light steadily
IN the same place on the plate. Elab-
CRATE clockwork must turn the lens
backward to keep it on the star and at
the same rate as that at which the
earth moves forward.
An astronomer at the Yerzes observ-
atory at Williams Bay, Wis, is quoted
in st. Nicholas as saying that many
of the most important results Of as
tronomy have been derived from the
use Of an ordinary camera. On a clear
night point one of these toward the
north pole, and it will be found after
an exposure Of one or two hours that
the stars which lie near the pole have
drawn arcs of circles upon the plate.
This is due to the fact that the earth
is rotating upon its axis at such rate
as to cause every star in the sky to
appear to travel through a complete
circle once in twenty-four hours.
The mere act of photographing is not
much more difficult than a short ex-
posture out of the window Of a moving
car. Any one can try it.
Let the exposure be for at least FIVE
minutes if the camera is pointed over
head and for at least one hour If d.
rected toward the pole star. The cam
era may be left out all night if pointed
at the pole, but must be taken in just
before daylight. The longer the ex-
posture the longer the star scratches"
Develop the plate as long as possible.

MAKING A BALLOON.
Precautions Taken to Keep the Gas
Bag From Destruction.

Sag FROM Deseructions
1t may interest the reader to hear
something about the construction Of
big modern balloon and its equipments.
1t is made of what is known as bal
loon cloth, which sometimes is of silk
and is sewed in small sections of about
q yard square, so that if one of the Sec
tons should burst the whole balloon
would not. collapse and destroy the
aeronaut
At the top of the bag is the valve to
let the gas out when one wishes to de-
scend. A rope for opening it runs from
this valve through the center of the
balloon to the operator in the basket.
The balloon is filed through the neck,
and this is left always open, so that
when the gas expands from the heat Of
the sun or the lesser pressure Of high
attitudes the gas may escape and not
burst the envelope.
AS soon as the balloon is sewed to-
gether it is blown full of air and given
three coats of varnish. Each coat must
be allowed to dry thoroughly before
the next Is applied, or else they would
never become perfectly dry, and the
balloon would be likely to be destroyed
at any minute from spontaneous COM
bustion. This spontaneous combustion
is not q bursting into fame, but kind
of exceedingly quick dry rot. 1 myself
have lost three balloons through it.
Once in my factory we were looking at
n cd 10
air and remarked, Thomas balloon is
gone" And so it proved to be. Five
minutes saw it destroyed-rotten so
that you could poke your finger through
It
Sometimes the balloon is so affected
in only q few sections, and man may
make an ascension thinking his bal
loon Is all right. Protected by the fine
netting which envelopes the balloon it.
self, he may even get up to some height
before discovering his danger In for
mer times there were many fatal acct
dents from this cause.
When a balloon is packed, talcum or
some other powder is sprinkled over
the folds to keep them from adhering
to each other. If this is neglected the
balloon will be ruined, especially in hot
weather.
AS I said, a fine netting covers the
balloon proper both to strengthen it
and to carry the weight of the basket
and its contents. All the strands Of
the netting come together in the "con-
centrating ring" just above the basket,
In which the aeronaut stands. The an
Choir and guide ropes as we'll as the
basket are fastened to this concentrat-
ing ring.
All modern balloons, besides the
valve, have rip cord fastened to a
long patch sewed in the envelope, by
means Of which the balloon can be cut
In two and brought to earth instantly
This Is never used except in case of ex-
IRENE emergency and where the basket
Is within ten or fifteen feet of the
ground.--Dr. J. P. Thomas in Apple
toms.

ratory at Buffalo, n. Y, has printed
upon its wrapper all the ingredients
entering into its composition. This fact
alone places DR.. Pierces Family Medi-
cines In a class all bU themselves. They
cannot be classed with patent or secret
medicines because they are neither This
Is why so many unprejudiced physicians
prescribe them and recommend them to
their patients. They know what they

are those endorsed by the most eminent

to place all by themselves.
Many years ago, DR.. Pierce discovered
that chemically pure glycefine, of proper
strength, is better solvent and preserv-
alive OF the medicinal principles resid-
ing in our indigenous, or native, medi-
cinal plants than Is alcohol; and, further
more, that it possesses valuable medicinal
properties of its own, being demulcent,
nutritive, antiseptic, and most efficient
antiferment
Neither of the above medicines con-
tains alcohol, or any harmful, habit
forming drug, as will be seen from
glance at the formula printed on each
bottle wrapper. They are safe to use and
potent to cure.
Not only do physicians prescribe the
above, non-secret MEDICINES largely, but
the most intelligent people employ them
people who would not think Of using
the ordinary patent, or secret medicines.
Every ingredient entering into the com
position of DIR. Pierce's medicines has

R0QUEFORT CHEESE.
How the Green Mold and the Flavor
Are Produced.

A cheese expert has the following
to say about Roquefort cheese:
ITO make Roquefort cheese we must
have the proper raw material-sheep's
milk. Of course we have sheep in
America, but show me a Yankee farm
er who would go to the trouble Of milk
ing sheep! 1t is even too much for
him to milk COWS, and it Is the stand
ard lamentation of all our farmers
that the boys, even If they stay on the
farm, do not want to do any milking.
Before they do such kind of work they
would rather go to business school or
a college where they study agriculture,
chemistry, etc.
How is Roquefort cheese cured?
The mold in the cheese is produced by
moldy breadcrumbs which are ground
to green dust and mixed in the
cheese curd. The country around
Roquefort is very rocky. The lime
stone rocks are full of crevices and
caves, which draw in the warm air In
summer, give it out in winter, and vice
versa.
nature and improved by cellars that
have been built in such a way that
these natural currents Of warm and
cold air pass through them, where
Roquefort cheese is cured. This Is the
way that Roquefort cheese is ripened
and gets its peculiar flavor and char
acter. 1t is all very we'll for the sci
entists. to study the chemical process
which the cheese is undergoing, but to
produce this process In an artificial
way Is another question. Nature is
the best chemist
The manufacture of Roquefort
cheese has been tried In America, but
the manufacturers did not make much
of success. Nobody manufactures
Roquefort in America at present We
know Of one manufacturer who tried to
make Roquefort cheese Of goats milk.
He boosted especially that he would
use only the milk Of imported goats.
Just think Of the idea! Imported goats
grazing on American pastures were
expected to give better favored milk
than domestic goats. 1t is the climate,
the special soil, atmospheric influences,
ETC., which produce the fine fragrant
grass. The milk Of the cows or goats
or sheep is naturally the product Of
the grass they are eating, the water
they are drinking, and neither this nor
the climate nor the country can be i'm
ported to America only the product
which the climate or country produces.
That is why neither the American
Camembert nor Roquefort ever has the
flavor or fragrance Of the imported ar
ticle in spite Of all the imported goats
or imported cattle or even Of imported
microbes. Chicago Record-Herald

THE GILA MONSTER.
Strange Ways of This Dreaded and
Hard Biting Reptile.


OF some of the strange ways of the
gila monster, that little known crea-
ture of the southwestern deserts, q cor
respondent writes: 81 have had some
experiences with ella monsters and
can state that, no matter what scien-
lists may claim, the ella monster is a
good thing to shun. Indians and Mexi-
cans have a horror Of it and fear
1t more than a rattlesnake. / be-
lieve that the bite of the ella monster
is dangerous because of the creatures
habit of eating lizards, bugs and ro-
dents and then lying on sand so hot
that it blisters the hands and feet Of
men. The heat causes the food to pu-
trefy in the stomach, evidenced by the
fact that the teeth are often covered
with fermented, putrefed froth from
the food. A bite has the same effect as
the cut of dissecting knife used on a
cadaver-in other words, the inocula-
ton of a deadly poison.
''When frightened or angry he can
move quite rapidly. That short, thick.
stubby tail is used in jumping, just as
a kangaroo uses his TAIL The ella mon
ster bites like a bulldog and has the
tenacity of a swapping turtle. 1 once
saw some men teasing a ella monster
brought to Tucson. A string was tied
around his neck. The ella monster was
crawling around on the ground, trying
to get away, but was pulled back by
the string. This was carried on till the
creature became furious. The crowd
around the ella monster knew nothing
of his power to spring. Suddenly he
sprung up and bit a man among the
crowd on the hand, leaping fully two
feet from the ground.
Another instance, this of a man
whose chief object seems to have been
foolhardy display of fearlessness. He
was holding one of the monsters in his
hand by the back of its neck, so it
could not bite him. He dropped his
hand to the side of his leg. The ella
monster shut his teeth down on his
heavy duck overalls, taking q double
piece out where the cloth folded as
quickly as pair of scissors could have
cut the fabric and as cleanly."-Chi
