Are Explained TO the Jury by an AS
sistant Manager.

Swift & Co. in the distribution and
sale of dressed beef We're explained to
the jury in the packers trial today by
Lee NJ Lester, assistant manager of
the fresh meat department. He said
the first step after the cattle were
slaughtered. was to figure the test cost
of the dressed beef. After this has
been calculated an average request
price is fixed and this is sent with
every car of meat shipped to branch
houses. When the car reaches its des-
tination. the branch house manager
makes an estimate of what the meat

figures to the Chicago office.
Later the actual sales are reported

received.

HEAD DRESS or TEHuANAs

The head dress OF the Tehuana In
dian women whose home is upon the
Isthmus of Tehuantepec in Mexico is
of remarkable design and not lacking
in attractiveness. 1t is called hull
pill and Is an elaborate lace affair re-
sembling in some respects an Eliza
bethan ruff. It Is worn on special oc-
casions and in different shapes. Some
times 1t is not flared out from the
head, but is worn hanging down the
back The Tehuana women perform
the business functions Of the tribe,
many Of them being small merchants
in town upon the Isthmus. The men
live n idleness In this respect they
are ike Burmese women and there
Is Il striking resemblance between the
Burmese and the Tehuanas. The daily
costumes of the Tehuana women very
much resemble that of the Burmese
women. They are truly oriental In
their fondness for brilliant colors.

The planet Jupiter. whose volume 10

study of Jupiter. has described red
spot which possesses a relative fixity.
but within the last year it's mobility
has increased to great proportions. and
Its longitude by about 80 degrees.
That is all that we can say scientifi-
cally. Is 1t really the formation of a
new continent? Can we draw this de-
duction from this phenomenon so din.

can say 30 with Certainty? M. Camille
Flammarion. however. expresses him
self with far greater confidence In this
matter: I'VE are assisting at the Gre

eyes new world is being created in

AFRICANS WHO EAT CLAY

Natives of West Africa. in French
Sudan, practice ''geophagy." Although
the practice 10 common in many parts
OF the world. this particular case 10
remarkable for the Systematic way in
which the dirt 10 collected. and for
the fact that 1t occurs In well culti-
waited region. where food 10 abundant.
The earth consumed is q clay, which
is found intercaiated among the grits
of the region In beds Of various thick
ness. The deeper layers are preferred
and for this reason the natives dig
galleries. which are so crudely con-
structed that falls OF earth frequently
occur, sometimes with fatal results.
When an unlucky miner Ia thus buried
no attempt is made to rescue him. as
1t Is believed that the divinities OF the
mines require an annual victim. 1t is
stated that individuals not infrequent-
ly consume seven and half pounds
OF clay daily.

HOW THE ELEPHANT TALKS

Elephants are said to make use OF
a great variety OF sounds in communi-
eating with each other, and in ex-
pressing their wants and feelings.
Some are uttered by the trunk, some
by the throat. The conJunctures in
which either means of expression is
employed cannot be strictly classified,
as fear, pleasure, want and other
emotions are sometimes indicated by
the trunk, sometimes by the throat.
An elephant rushing upon an assail-
ant trumpets shrilly with fury.
Fear Is similarly expressed In a
Bhrill. brassy trumpet, or by a roaor
from the lungs. Pleasure by con-
tinued low squeaking through the
trunk or an almost inaudtble purring
sound from the throat. Want--as a
calf calling its mother-is chiefly ex-
pressed by the throat A peculiar
sound is made use of by elephants to
express dislike OF apprehension, and
at the same time to intimidate, as
when the cause of some alarm has not
been clearly ascertalned and the ami
mails wish to deter an intruder. 1t is
produced by rapping the end OF the
trunk smartly on the ground, a cur
rent of air hitherto retained being
sharply emitted through the trunk. as
from a valve, at the moment OF i'm
pact The sound made resembles that
OF large sheet of tin rapidly doubled.
1t has been enormously ascribed by
some writer's to the animals beating
their sides with their trunks.
