EGYPTIAN INITIATION.
Tammen Adopted by Egyptians in
Peculiar Ceremony.

Tammen Adopted by Egyptians in
Peculiar Ceremony.
H. H. Tammen, general manager of
the Sells-Floto circus, has been
abroad for several months. He tour
ed every cline and has his eyes set
for new and novel features. In every
foreign country he engaged the best
performers obtainable and shipped |
them to the Sells-Floto circus in this |
country.
While in the Philippines he pur-
chased lot of animals native to the
place. These animals will be here
Saturday, June 9Th. A cable from
Egypt was received a few days ago
that told the story OF his adoption as
an Egyptian. The peculiar ceremony
of adopting him was performed away
out on the desert. 1t is conferred
only on those whom the Egyptians
admire and take liking to.
Tammen was taken blindfolded
and alone far out on the sandy desert
Forty Egyptians had him in charge.
The three principals were Tobie Mar
say, Abraham Mazeppa and Isaac Ca
retha, the trio who conferred the de-
gree on ]. Pierpont Morgan when in
Egypt several years ago.
When several miles out on the
desert the Egyptians placed Tammen
in the center of their circle and re-
moved the bandages from his eyes.
They sang their native anthems and
then turned upon their candidate for
Egyptian honors with the fury of
wild beasts. They darted by him
with their ugly swords.
Tammen felt uncomfortable and
thought of America. He could hear
the swords swish by his head. This
was the preliminary degree, and it
was concluded by each of the Egyp-
tians kneeling and mumbling Great
and good American" and kissing his
: left hand.
The camels were again mounted, a
halt being finally made on an oasis
called THE Spot of Honor" where
all degree work was performed.
Tammen was blindfolded before ar
irving here.
The heart degree was first given
to him. His breast was barred and
pierced with swords directly over the
heart. Next came the degree OF
honor" The artery of one of his
: arms was pricked with the sacred
needle of the Egyptians-said to
have been in their possession for
centuries-and only impure blood Is
believed to leave the body. The
last chapter, the final degree, called
1.-THE mingling of the blood" degree
is supposed to take the pure blood
of the candidate and mingle it with
e that of the Egyptians. 1t is &C
e complished by one of the principal
i Egyptians cutting his artery and
pressing the wound to that of the
Q candidate.
}. The candidate during this process
g bows and holds his lips to thu

How They Save Lights.

On a sunken roof $50 feet distant
from Stornoway lighthouse is a re-
markable beacon, which warns mar
iners with the help of light which is
only apparent. The beacon is a cone
Of cast iron plates, surmounted with
a lantern containing glass prism. This
prism derives it's light from refracting
the rays emitted from the lighthouse,
and the optical delusion is marvelo4s.
Mariners naturally suppose that there
is a lighted lamp on the beacon itself
and many of them will not believe 9th
erwise. But the object Of the beacon is
obtained when the navigator sees the
reflected light, which indicates the per-
ilous rock below. This beacon ir the
north of Scotland has been in use more
than half a century, and since it was
fixed in position others have been
placed in other neighborhoOds to make
clear points of danger. 1t is an in
genious and very effective safeguard
against perils Of the coast.-London
Globe.

LITTLE CHICKS IN A BASKET.
Incident Somewhat Ont of the Usual
in an Elevated Car.

Incident Somewhat Ont of the Usual
in an Elevated Car.
Into the rear car of Il 9th avenue
elevated train on late morning run
downtown, when the travel was light,
came a woman carrying a willow mar
ket basket covered over with Il news
paper, says the New York Sun.
She walked through to the rear sec
ton of the car and sat down in the
end seat on one side and placed the
basket on the next seat ahead along
side her. And then in a low tone she
began to talk, as it seemed to herself,
leaning as she talked over the basket
on the seat and drawing back the pa
per that had covered it.
And then you heard in the car, COM
ing from the basket, the peeping OF
chickens, little chicks, and so the mys-
terry was solved; she had been talking
to the chickens. In a moment the
woman reached down into the basket
and lifted one of the little chicks out
of it and rested it in her lap and gent
" stroked it's back and spoke to it.
TOO bad" she said, ito shut it up
in the basket" and the chicken seemed
quite tame; it didn't struggle or try to
get away, and when she had smoothed
it's feathers softly a little more the
woman put it back in the basket.
Presently she took off the jacket she
was wearing and spread that around
the forward end of the basket and
over it's top loosely to protect the little
chicks from drafts and keep them
warm. A little later one of the small
chicks stepped up over the basket and
stood on the sill of the car window
near which the basket was and looked
out Of the window, but soon the woman
lifted it gently down and put it back
in the basket.
And then she bent over and settled
the little chicks around in the basket
more comfortably and took out another
little chick, whose feathers she smooth
ed as she had those of the first one,
this second one in turn to soon be put
back with the others. And so she how
cred over and cared for the chicks till
the train was approaching the station
where she was to get off to draw then
the folded newspaper back over the top
of the basket.

Giant Turtle lows a Boat.

Capt. Percy Pells, "Hen" Hartman
and "Pat'' Gecks, three City Island
salts, went fishing yesterday in Pei
ham Bay, off Beldow's Point. First
thing he knew Capt Pell's blackfish
hook was taken in tow by a gigantic
turtle. The monster towed the three
men and their rowboat a mile. Then
they got a gait hook into him and
brought him to the surface, and he
reached out a ripper and capsized
boat and all.
The old salts managed to climb up
on the bottom of the overturned boat
with the turtle still on the line. They
fought him three hours with only an
oar for weapon. Finally the turtle
died and was towed ashore. He
weighed 267 pounds.-New York

LANGUAGE OF INSECTS.
They Express Themselves by Means
of Bodily Gestures.

They Express Themselves by Means
of Bodily Gestures.
Insects express emotions by bodily
gestures, and mimetic language, though
far more limited is not less Ineligible
than vocal speech. Indeed, a glance
of the eye, a movement of the hand, q
shrug of the shoulder, a stamp of the
foot, a toss of the head, may betray in
man the true thought or feeling, even
when spoken language is used to con-
ceal it. I'VE may find, perhaps"
writes DR.. III. G. McCoOk, in Harpers
Magazine, chat this medium serves in
sects no less effectively for communion
ton within that limited range-Of
ideas, shall we say?-in which their
faculties are confined.
LET us stand before this oak tree
and watch a double stream of mound
making ants (Formica exsectoides)
thronging up and passing down the
well-marked trail that leads to a herd
of aphides upon some branches that
overhang a stone fence. The motion of
q finger near the trunk attracts the at
tention of a sentinel-one of a number
that seems to be guarding the TANKS of
the column. 1t halts, thrusts out it's
antennae and shows signs Of excite
ment. AS an experiment, the finger is
approached within an inch or more Of
the ant. Its antennae wave rapidly.
It's head and body jerk with eager in
tenseness. It stretches forth its head
and reaches out it's forelegs, with jaws
eagerly agape and antennae quivering.
The whole attitude and every bodily
detail clearly express to the observer
the ideas of vigilance, of suspicion, of
challenge, of a purpose to repel. AS
plainly as if it had spoken the senti-
mel has said: I suspect you. detest
you. bid you begoneH We Onlookers
understand this. Is it suppOsable that
