Indians With Blue Eyes.

One of the mysteries Of Mexico IL
presented by the Maya Indians, who
inhahit the Sierra Madre mountains in
the lower part of Sonora. They have
fair skins, blue eyes and light hair, and
students of ethnology have always
been puzzled to account for them,
There is tradition, however, that
these Indians are the descendants OF
the crew and passengers of Swedish
vessel wrecked on the Mexican coast
centuries before Columbus discovered
the new world, but this tradition is
founded on nothing more substantial
than folklore tale current among
them that their ancestors came over

With hydraulic pressure apparatus the flour Is squeezed Into the form of bricks, and experiments are reported to have shown that the pressure destroys all forms of laryal life, thus preserving the flour from the ravages of insects, while 1t Is equally secure from mold Three hundred pounds of compressed flour occupy the same space as 100 pounds of four in the ordinary state.

Human Traits in the Dor,

 The dog undoubtedly exhibits more human traits than any other lower animal and this by reason of his long association with man. There are few of our ordinary emotions that the dog does not share, as joy, fun, love of ad- venture jealousy, suspicion. comrade- ship, helpfufness, guilt, covetousness and the like or feelings analogous to these-the dog version of them I am not sure but that the dog is capable Of contempt
