In the colony of Upper Senegal and
Niger, in Africa, near a place named
Diekuy, exists an edible clay OF
which the natives are very fond. 1t Is
found in a layer between strata OF
limestone, and gallery has been driV-
en- into the earth for the extraction
OF the substance. 1t is not only eat
en- on the spot, but, broken into
pieces few inches across, is sold to
the inhabitants of the surrounding
country. over a radius Of some 20
miles. It is said by French explorers
that some natives consume several
pounds of the strange food every day.

Rev. Mr.. Fearing, vicar of village
near London, had an awful dream
about his oldest son who had died
few days before and was buried in
the vaults of the church. The father
dreamed that he saw his sons shroud
spotted with blood, and an expression
of great agony on his face. The lad
cried: Father, come help me; they
will not let me rest" The father
awoke. greatly excited, but dismissed
the dream from his mind. No sooner
had he fallen asleep again that he
dreamed again of his son in agony
and crying: "They are tearing my
body to pieces" AS soon as it was
dawn the minister went to the clerk
for the keys to the vault. The clerk
tried to explain that his son had taken
the keys to the repair shop. The vicar
secured crowbar and pried open the
door Of the vault Then he saw that
the coffin had been disturbed and that
his sons body had been tempered
with. Not a tooth remained in the
boys mouth. The clerks son. who
was a dentist. had visited the vault
during the night and drawn the teeth
one by one, in order to use them.
