BEAUTY OF MEXICAN INDIANS.
Their Fine Eyes and Features and InteIlI.
gent Expression.
From the Indianapolis Star.

From the Indianapolis Star.
The beauty OF Indian women is one OF the
charms of Mexico.
In the capital, where the Indian has de-
encrated by contact with the whites. by
extreme poverty and mental service. IL is
less to be remarked than in the smaller towns
and in the country.
But the beautiful faces one takes in memory
away from. Mexico are those of Indian women.
Fine eyes Are universal and, what one hardly
expects. fine features. according to Cauca-
sian standards; broad brow W. straight noses.
well formed mouths and chins full but not
gross or heavy. The expression is very
generally intelligent and often one is struck,
both in Indian men and women, with the no.
billty and refinement Of the countenance.
One frequently sees types among the
poems that seem to belong TO some highly
civilized ancient caste. an Egyptian priest
Of royal blood. a Roman centurion, an Aztec
Emperor. The women are gently lovely
where they are beautiful, and the men at
their best in carriage, in manners and in
countenance are strikingly like the very adj
vanced product OF civilization.
In the North the noble red man" has
chiefly been found In our poetry and ro-
nance. At their highest they possessed
only the savage virtues. Here In mid Mexico,
even after four centuries OF subsection. the
Indian is plainly Of better make. OF higher
ethnic development. Of Infinitely greater
possibilities 1t is a far cry from the Apache
to the Aztec.

The delegates from the United Irish

made a tour Of the country. and l was in
formed In the West that they admitted that
the money sent over had been well spent.
They must have found a great change in
the people 50 far as organization is con-
cerned.
Fer some years past the league was
dragging out q dying existence and the
people fell in with the physical force party
In the country-a party that believes that
leagues mainly benefit the storekeepers who
generally boss the branches. Then the
Sim Feinn party grew up and is gathering
immensely In strength.
The object Of this party is to push the
Parliamentary party aside. to boycott
everything English and rely upon we

Gates The Gaelic League. too. has become
a body to be seriously reckoned with, and
it is also more or less against the con
stitltional methods advocated by the
PaTliamentarians.

carried on with a determination that has
been absent from the Irish political spirit
since the days Of the Parnell split, The
people 30 far have been the winners.
Prosecutions brought by the police nave

the Irish Government are at their wits end.

machinery issue will be fully Joined between
themselves and the people, and the whole
west and south will be in an uproar.

TO SAVE LIVES OF MINERS.
Station with Gallery for Explosions n
a nescue loom

In order TO protect miners from gas and
coaldust explosions the Government is
going to begin experiments, probably at
Pittsburg.
A station is TO be established. says Dis
coreyy. consisting of an explosive gallery.
rescue room, observation house. lamp
testing rooms. and explosives laboratory.
The gallery is to be made OF boiler plats
and will be in the form of a cylinder 100 feet
long and feet in diameter A series Of
safety valves on hinges will be arranged
along the top to allow the escape Of gas
following an explosion
Port holes along the sides. covered with
half-inch plate glass. will allow those in the
observation house to see whether an ex-
plosion has taken place in the gallery during
the tests The cylinder will be fllnd with
fredamp and air or coal dust and air and
the explosives will be hurled into the gallery
by means Of a steel mortar fired by cleo
tricity from an observation house 90 feet
away The maximum quantity OF each
explosive that can safely be used in mines
will be published under the head Of Per-
missible Explosives w.,
A pressure gauge will be used for measur.
ing the actual pressure in pounds per square
inch developed by the defamation OF various
explosives. The analysis OF the products
of combustion will also be made. ThS
heat of decomposition Of all explosives in
terms of ~calories will be ascertained by
decorating large quantities in a bomb.
The explosives will be fired from the
mortar at night and the length OF the fame
will be dete rmined by photography. The
time OF the fame will also be determined
by an electrical apparatus.
The rescue room will resemble the interior
OF a mine and during tests will be filled
with smoke. The efficiency OF all apparatus
for sustaining life will be determined by q
series Of tests. Miners will be shown hoW
TO rascue their fellow miners,
The experiments will be under the direc-
ton of Joseph A. Holmes, chief OF this
technologic branch OF the Geological Survey.

PLAGUE SWEPT ID
In Ten Years There Have Been 4,4I1,9l9
Deaths Mortality Increasing.


During the first three and a half months
OF 1907 the deaths from the plague in India
totalled $4,000, the heaviest monthly NOR
tally yet reported during the epidemic.
According to the Indian World this would
appear to show that the present year will
exhibit a record number of deaths.
The plague records for the ten years
October, 1895, to December, 1905, show that
there was a large annual increase from 1901
TO 1904, the deaths numbering 274, 0O0i in 1901,
$1,000 in 1902, 557. 600 in 1903 and i,o22,o 0
in 1904, the worst year in ten years.
There was a small decrease in 1905. the
deaths falling to 951 900, and a large de-
crease in 1905, when there were only 1892 900.
The total deaths for the whole ten years
numbered All PIP. The improvement
which was shown in the two years ices
and 1905 has not, unfortunately, been main
tanned.
From the first appearance of the disease
up to the year 1901 the mortality was great
est in the Bombay presidency, but from
1902 onward, with one exception, the worst
area has been the Punjab, and in 1905 the
deaths in the latter province alone n":a-
bered 1874, 625.
