Indians in southern Florida were
rounded up to be sent to Indian ter
ritory. About 100 of them escaped
from the stockade and got into the
Everglades, and later were allowed to
remain there. Today they number
about 400. Only one Of them can
speak English.
The Rev. J. Griffis had learned the
language of the Seminoles when in
Indian Territory, and on arriving al
the islands he addressed them In
their own tongue, and was told to
come ashore, though white men are
seldom allowed even to land there,
and never allowed to stay on their
domains for any length Of time.
He found the little islands averaged
in size from twenty feet across To
J twenty acres in area and covered with
sub-tropic growth. The people live In
shacks three feet above the ground,
with posts for foundation. The
roofs are thatched with palmetto
These Indians raise hogs and chick
ems and do extensive gardening. The
Rev. ]. Griffis hunted with them, and
brought back many interesting Souve-
Mrs to Cleveland, one the skin Of a
panther.
The Indian wife which Tahan mar
ried while a savage died many years
ago. They had a son. however, who
is still living. He is 81 years old, has
welded an Indian girl, and is a resi-
dent of Oklahoma He does not
speak English.
After his conversion to the minis
try the Rev. ]. Griffis married a white
woman. and they have three children

Industrial Secrets.

Our ancestors had little faith In pa
tent laws to protect their rights in in
ventions. What they discovered or in
vented they concealed. Workmen were
put upon oath never to reveal the pro-
cess used by their employers. Doors
were kept closed, artisans going out
were searched, visitors were rigor-
ously excluded from admission and
false operations blinded the workmen
themselves. The mysteries of every
craft were hedged in by thick-set
fences of empirical pretensions and
judicial affirmation. The royal man.
ufactories of porcelain, for example,
were carried on in Europe with a splr-
it of jealous exclusiveness.
His majesty of Saxony was especial
ly circumspect. Not content with the
oath of secrecy imposed upon his
workpeople he would not abate his
kingly suspicion in favor of brother
monarch. Neither king nor kings
delegates might enter the tabooed
walls of Meissen. What is enormously
called the Dresden porcelain was pro-
duced for 200 years by a process so
secret that neither the bribery Of
princes nor the garrulity Of the opera
tives revealed It,
Other discoveries have been less
successfully guarded, fortunately for
the world. The manufacture Of tin
ware in England originated in a stolen
secret. Few persons need to be inform
ed that tinware is simply thin iron,
plated with tin by being dipped into
the molten metal. In theory 1t Is an
easy matter to clean the surface of
iron, dip 1t into a bath Of boiling tin,
remove it enveloped with a silvery
metal to a place for cooling. In prac-
tice, however, the process is one of the
most difficult in the arts. 1t was dis
covered in Holland, and guarded from
publicity with the utmost vigilance for
more than half a century. England
tried in vain to discover the secret un-
til James Sherman, a Cornish miner,
insinuated himself master of the Sc
cret and brought 1t home.-New York

found in some soil. This may be poi
sonous to the plants and may retard
their growth, although the soil may
have abundant plant food and all the
other conditions which should pro-
duce the richest of crops.
In going through the laboratories
I was shown plants which were being
tested. In one glass a plant would
be growing in the original soil, and
in another it void be standing in the
same earth with fertilizers added. In
both these cases the plants would
look sickly and have but small root
development. In the third glass the
same plant would be placed in the
same soil with an antidote to correct
what the scientists believe to be a
poisonous element of the soil, and In
this last case the plant was luxuriant
with great roots, showing that 1t was
the poison and not the lack Of plant
food that kept it from growing. This.
DR.. Schreiner tells me, Is the case
with great many Of the farms OF
our country. They need medicine tc
take the bad stuff out of their sys.
TENS, just as you and I need liver
pills in the spring. In some Of these
cases lime makes a good antidote OF
corrective, and for others different
medicines are required.-Frank G.

The Story Didn't Work.-The story

old is he?"
"Oh, weel, I couldn't tell to bit, u
was the reply. Il never was much
good at remembering dates, but 'e's
nobbut a puppy"
On the other hand, it was maintain
ed that the animal in question was a
very, very old-fashioned puppy, and
the magistrate inflicted the usual fine
Shortly afterward the farmer was
met by friend, who wanted to know
how he had Jared at the police court
"Nobbut middlin'!" was the reply.
Did they fine you?"
"Yes," responded the victim; "an'
