uu.e. For Et.h.kin.

The serrated spines of the rayfish are nsed by the Indians of the Amazon to arm their arrows. Sharks teeth are used in arming weapons, while the teeth of this and other species are used as trinkets by many peoples. The jaws of the sleeper shark are used for head dresses by certain of our Indian tribes. The vertebrae of the sharks are also prepared as canes. In Japan the bones of sharks and skates are used in mak- Ing imitation tortoise shell. In Europe and this country shark and ray skins are employed to smooth and polish sub- stances, while the skin of the thornback Is employed by cabinet makers in lieu of sandpaper, than which it Is very much more durable. Woodworkers also use the rough skin of the blue dogfish like emery paper for smoothing their work and preparing it for polishing. In India the jawbone of the boalee fish is employed by the natives about Dac- ca. The teeth, being small, recurved and closely set, act as fine comb for carding cotton in removing the loose and coarse fbers and all extraneous matters from the cotton wool.

A Lost Language.

A monument to lost language is to be found in the village of St. Paul, near Penzance, in Cornwall, and it is believed to be the only monument in existence which marks the death of vanished tongue. It commemorates the death of the last woman who spoke in the Cornish language and was erect ed by a Frenchman. It is a granite obelisk about seven feet high and is built into the churchyard wall, the front facing the highway, where it is plainly discernible by all who pass that way. The upper part is in the form of a Maltese cross. The inscription reads as follows: "Here lieth inferred Doro- thy Pentreath, who died in 1777, said to have been the last person who con versed in the ancient Cornish, the pc cufiar language of this county from the earliest records till it expired in the eighteenth century in this parish of St Paul."

TELLS STORY OF
 MARVELOUSFLIGHT
 THROUGH THE AIR
Especial from United Press)

Cleveland June 10.-Carl Fisher, pilot of the balloon Indiana who landed with his aide, Bumbaugh, in, Tennes-. see Monday, to-day wired to the Farmer his own story of the thrilling ride through the clouds made by the balloon in the trip started on Satur- day. He says:
 ~The Indiana landed at Rothsxin, Tenn, after fourteen hours and twen- ty-five minutes of continuous flight made however, and we learned that these stops disqualified us but the cold water, which we were burning up was worth the disqualification Shoot ing at the balloon was frequent, com mencing in Brown County, Ind. and continuing as we swept across Ken lucky and Tennessee The man with whom we are now stopping told us that he and his son both went after their rifles to see which one could bust it, thinking it was a circus balloon without passengers.
 seThe winds generally were very poor and we only made way at 12,000 feet. The heat at 10000 and 12.O00 feet was intense as a result of reflection from the snow white clouds. Near Nashville. we had. the most thrilling experience of the trip. There seems to be a. general current of air over ner is affected by the currents from over the mountains. At any rate while sailing along at 800 feet just after fixing up for our night ride our balloon commenced to spin around and ascend very rapidly- We shot up to 14,O00 feet and were almost frozen stiff.
 rBumbaugh was unable to figure it out and it was certain death to. use the valve to stop our upward flight. While vapor gas poured from the ap- penddx and things looked serious. At last at Is. 800 feet Bumbaugh opened the valve to prevent the bag from bursting but up she went and then we opened the valve again, which seemed to help some. Then we began to descend very slowly. We expected to lose all our ballast to break the fall but it was not necessary as we went down below the edge of the whirlpool without dumping an ounce of ballast We were beginning to feel better when up she went again And repeated the performance. This time we went clear down, letting out enough gas to drag on the tree tops with our drag ropes and only seven miles from Nashville.
 I've had made the circuit of about 24 miles three times The morning wind from the west finally pulled us out and we were certainly thankful. We had, during the day. two other eaceufs of the same kind but less spec f6p91lar. of3iy taking us up eight and nfn6 fhousaud feet

DANBURY SENATOR SHARPLY CRITICISES
 NEW HAVEN ROAD

Hartford, June 1O.-In his remarks before the committee on Public Util- ities. Senator Peck of Danbury spoke In past as follows:
 s'It is not necessary for me to go in to the details of this question-they have been covered by others appear ing before you at the previous hear ings-
 sion to fix or supervise or approve rates You have heard a great deal about rates in the last few days. ana it is not necessary for me to go over the matter again, yet | will refer to the rates on freight, from and to New York, that am familiar with I stated the other day, that the rate from Danbury to New York was less than that from New York to Danbury.
 ss1fr Chairman, am also in favor of a Commission to supervise service. Some will say that the people Of Con necticut- are now getting better ser vice under the present management than we were under the old competi- tive system, and possibly that is true in some instances, and yet I venture to say that if the competitive system had continued until the present time, the service would improve with the in crease of traffic, and improvements in methods and mechanical devices, that have come into use- I could cite a number G instances, where the ser vice could De ana 1fDeneYe WOulQ pS iulproyed,s if we had a Public Service Commission to hear complaints and investigate and if found necessary could issue orders for improvements.

Bridgeport Trolley Ser vice is said to be poor. The electric light and gas service has received many criticisms.
 And Mr. Chairman, there is no doubt that there are a large number of cases that could be cited I feel assured that if your committee should see your way clear, to recommend that commission be appointed tand commission should be appointed) we would find that this commission would be of great benefit. to not only the people but to the corporations.
 t'HI were the manager of corpo- ration, | know II would rather have a commission of three men representing the State, to settle questions that might arise from time to time, than to have the questions brought to the General Assembly to be settled.
 .In regard to Part 8, Sec. 109, that provides for complaints, I would deem it adv1sable to change, so as to make it possible for any citizen to make complaints directly to the commits; siopE

Courtesy to Women.

A young woman, says correspond ent, who was passing the evening with the family of Lord Coleridge, the emi- nent English jurist, was about to start for her home at 10 o'clock when he offered to accompany her. She, with the respect due to his age and with the fearlessness of youth due to ig- norance of the dangers surrounding young women, said: 'I thank you, sir. but do not want to trouble you. Can not the maid accompany me" His manner showed the respect in which he held all women. He said, My dear, the maid is a woman also." If all men were so truly courteous there would be no complaint on the part of women that they do not receive the treatment they should receive from the opposite sex

When You Put ari1k In Tea

'The scientific justification for add ing milk to tea" says the Dietetic and Hygienic Gazette, "comes from the facts that the tannic acid contained in tea combines with the albumen k the milk to form tannate of aibumen, which is practically leather. By drink ing tea alone the coating of the stom- ach is made 1eathery- But when milk, which contains albunen, is added the molecules of tannics acid select their affinity Of albumen from 1t. and as a divorce Is unknown to, tannate of al- bumen the lining of the stomach Is less liable to be affected by the tannic acid than it would be if the tea were taken alone"

The First Bicyc1i.t.

Dr. Church of Birmingham was the first person who, in my youth, con rived a bicycle and rode upon it in the town, which excited more consterna- ton than a Southcottean with his beard. He was an able physician, but his harmless innovation cost him his practice. Patients refused to be cured by a doctor who rode a horse which had no head and ate no oats.-Holy- pake's "Bygones Worth Remembering" l"

The Fertility of the PaIouse Soils

By PROF. r. w. THATCHER

The exposition at Seattle and the
many conventions of various national
associations connected with agricul-
tural development in the United
States which have met in the Pacific
Northwest this sum mer have brought
to this state an unusually large num-
Der of visitors from the Agricultural
Colleges and Experiment Stations.
Many of these men have visited the
Experiment Station at the State Col
lege at Pullman, and have seen the
Palouse country for the first time
In every case, these men have been
greatly surprised at the wonderful
productivity of the Palouse soil The
general opinion of all these agricul-
tural experts as expressed by them
to members of the Experiment Sta
ton staff is shown by the remarks
made to me by a former member of
the Department of Agriculture of
Pennsylvania, who is now connected
