school teacher among the Sioux

These peculiaritics are his aver
sion to paper money and his appetite
for dog. An Indian will never take
paper money If he can avoid It, He
wants it, in the language OF the
Sioux, 'muzza ska, which translated
means white iron. The red man
cannot bring himself 10 believe that
a small piece of printed paper can
be worth as much or more than the

A Pccmlinr WelI.

A member OF the United States Ge-
illogical Survey engaged I'm making
Investigations of ground-water con-
ditions i'm Ohio, reports that in Ham
ilton County, about half a mile south
OF New Burlington, there is well
which yields fresh and salt water at
the same time Except for the fact
that two pumps are set in it side
by side 10 resembles ordinary wells;
but one of the pumps supplies water
excellent TO taste. while the water
from the other is so highly charged
with various mineral salts that II is
almost brine This water has been
recommended by some physicians as
having high medicinal value When
first dug. several years ago, the well
was a great wonder to the people Of
the surrounding country. who hocked
in great numbers to see 70 and taste
its unusual water
The secret Of the phenomenon lies
in the fact that two water-beariug
beds confined between layers Of lime
stone occur at this point, the upper
carrying fresh water and the lower
salt. The pipe Of fresh-water pump
IS but sixteen feet long; that OF the
saltwater pump IS thlrty-five feet.
The brine, being heavier than the
fresh water, does not mix with &c but
remains at the bottom Of the we'll.
and the longer pipe consequently
draws only the salty water.

Dislnfectinq an Army.

Every one of the 100000 Japanese
soldiers who left Manchuria after the
war had to be Gisinfected before be-
Ing allowed to return home. Men,
clothes and weapons we're alike dis
infected. The soldiers stripped from
head to foot had each to take a hos
bath, and on emerging from 1t were
clothed in a fresh kimono, while their
clothes were subjected to a vigor-
Ous disinfecLion In vaporizing ovens.
The weapons were also disinfected
by subjecting them 20 fumes; even
the jewelry and cigaret cases and
watches all passed through the dis
injecting chambers, while for the
paper money which had been the
currency of the war new notes and
coins were given in exchange. These
hygienic precautions were pursued
day and night. and before any Jap
anese was regarded as fit 20 re.enter
the Isles of Nippon he and his
equipment had had at least an hour

Odd Freak Of a Tornado.

Attending the story os every cy-
clone there is something OF the nature
of freak TO be related During the
small twistcr in the Highland district
the almost incredible happened. But
we must believe the story, for 1t was
told by truthful men. Between two
corner-stones of a barn (Mr. Ruth
rufus barn. we believe) the feathers
and perhaps the foot Of a chicken
protruded. The stones were intact
and showed no signs Of ever having
been disturbed by man or the power
of the clements. But the chicken
was blown in between those large
stones by the fury of the storm in
some manner. 1t was q chicken with
out n doubt, though pressed as thin
as an onion peel. How did it get
there? The theory shared by nearly
all who witnessed the phenomenon
Is that during the storm and a sud
den gust Of wind the barn and the
top stone were lifted sufficiently high
to allow the chicken to be blown into
the crevice, and before the fowl could
get out the barn settled down.

Honey Poisoned Arrows.

expedition were the WamNutti

Tie bows and arrows. almomst like
childrens playthings But upon the
point of each arrow was tiny drop
Of poison. sufficient to kill an ele-
plant as readily as n human being.
From their ambush in the forest they
would surprise tho caravan with
showers of deadly darts. Another
practice was that OF fixing poisoned
spikes in the earth. by stepping on
these spikes both man and beast
were frequently doomed TO death.
Strange to say, the poison was
made from honey.
