Earth EATING.


Earth eating is a habit often OBJ
served in India. and is very widely
distributed. It often manifests itself
as a symptom Of disease or perverted
appetite, but among many healthy
people 1t is a regular habit. In addi-
ton to India, the Soudan, China and
the Malay archipelago are mentioned
as places where the custom prevails,
but these by no means exhaust the
list. 1t Is said that in Siberia and
Lapland, earth consisting of the fos-
SLICED siliceous shells of diatoms is
mixed with meal to make q kind Of
-four. It is also said that the Anus
of Japan used to eat paste made Of
a mixture of diatomaceous earth. The
Indians of Guatemala eat yellowish
edible earth containing sulphur, not
so much as q food, but as a prophy-
Tactic against disease. There are peo-
pie In Bengal who regard the fine
earth Of which anthills are built as
delicacy, and the explanation has been
suggested that the flavor is due to
a digestive fluid added to the earth
by the ants to make 1t more easily
worked.

JOHN MUIR'S STUDY MACHINE
Naturalist Tells Of Wonderful Inven-
ton for Which He Has Not Yet
Taken Out a Patent.

Nevertheless I still INDUCED my
love of mechanical invention" writes
John Muir In his volume, STORY of My
Boyhood and Youth" 81 invented a
desk in which the books l had to
study were arranged in order at the
beginning of each term. / also made a
bed which set me on my feet every
morning at the hour determined on,
and in dark winter mornings just ar
the bed set me ON the floor It lighted
the lamp. Then. after the minutes al
lowed for dressing had elapsed, q
click was heard, and the first book
to be studied was pushed up from a
rack below the top of tho desk, thrown
open, and allowed to remain there the
number of minutes required. Then
the machinery closed the book and al
lowed 1t to drop back into it's stall,
then moved the rack forward and
threw up the next In order. and 80 on
all the day being divided accordingsto
the times of recitation, and time re-
Quired and allotted to each study.
Besides this. l thought 1t would be
a fine thing In the summer time, when
the sun rose early, to dispense with
the clock-controlled bed machinery,
and make use of sunbeams instead.
This did simply by taking lens out
Of my small spy glass, fixing It on a
frame on the sill of my bedroom win
dow, and pointing it to the sunrise;
the sunbeams focused on a thread,
burned it through, allowing the bed
machinery to put me on my feet.
when wished to arise at any
given time after sunrise, I had only
to turn the pivoted frame that held
the lens the requisite number of de-
grees or minutes. Thus took Elmer
sons advice and hitched my dump.

POOR GIRAFFE LOVED TURTLE
Animals Suicide In JardIn des PIantes
Explained to Satisfaction Of
Commissary.

It is sad, sad story and the de-
tails will never be known-how the

Paris zoo, committed suicide.
This giraffe, who held the record
in her class for height, was neuras.
thenic. The attendants noticed the
other day that she looked troubled.
She stood in her front yard waving
her long neck from side to side, her
eyeS in the clouds. Then she dashed
her head against the side of her
house, causing concussion of the
brain.
The commissary of police was mott.
fed Of her death and he opened an
inquest. What were the reasons for
suicide? She was of high standing.
four and a half meters. She was not
involved In the troubles of married
life, for the simple reason that she
was not married. Perhaps, however,
she was in love.
When the commissary came to this
question he felt sure he was on the
right track. From the keepers he
learned In fact that the giraffe some
time previously had fallen In love
with q turtle, but the latter showed
almost stony Indifference to her ad.
vances. She tried to make eyes at
the turtle, but he seemingly paid no
attention to her. The turtle seemed
to think there was an inseparable dis
lance between them. The inquest
was ended and 1t only remained for
the commissary to notify the family
Of the deceased.

Peculiarly Of Cast Iron.

Singularly enough, cast iron, never
considered very strong, and thought
by most people to be far less durable
than steel. improves greatly in
strength when subjected to constant
shocks. This was proved by guns Of
various ages and service. Guns tried
a month after casting burst at the
SEVENTEEN or eightieth discharge.
Other guns, which had been in use for
six years, failed to burst after 1000
or 5000 discharges, and cast iron
bars, after being subjected to shocks,
frequently gain 100 per cent. in
strength. But, in all cases. the cast
iron which proved strongest was cast
Iron which had had "a holiday" in be-
tween the hard work.

on the stage, in mystifications of the
kind Of which THE Great Lafayette"
was a master. SO close, indeed, was
the resemblance between him and his

death In q hotel fire in Glasgow 1t was

whether 1t was his body or that Of the
other man which was found in the

nondholders 10 Buy Road.

Des Moines, Sept. 24.--The defunct
Fort Dodge, Des Moines & Southern
railroad, which was ordered sold by
Judge Mcpherson of the federal court
several days ago, will be taken over
by its bondholders. This information
came from George F. Henry, special
master in chancery, who was instruct,
ed to make the sale.
The decision of the stockholders to
buy the road insures the operation in
the future of that part of the system
which is now being operated. 1t was
said that a new corporation will be
formed, and that there is a likelihood
that the name of the road will be
changed.
1t is not considered probable, say
those close in touch with the situa.
ton, that any strangers will be able
to compete in the bidding for the road
as they would have to put up cash,
while the bondholders may use re-
ceivers' certificates, which they may
hold, or bonds of the company in pay
ment for their bid.
The bondholders will be compelled
to put UP the equivalent of $2,500,OOo
for the main section of the road which
extends from Des Moines TO Ames,
Boone, Fort Dodge and Rockwell City.

East prixina PROVES Fatal.

Des Moines, Sept 24.-Frank Kings
ley of Fort Dodge probably will die
from injuries received in an auto
mobile accident at Ninth street and
Forest avenue yesterday afternoon.
He was thrown out when the car in
which he was riding struck a tele-
phone pole, sustaining fracture at
the base OF the skull and broken
collar bone. Kingsley was riding in
an automobile with E. G. Fuller Of
Webster City. They were driving east
on Forest avenue, racing with another
car, at what Witnesses say was terrific
speed. At Ninth street, owing to their
speed, Fuller was unable to guide the
car around the jog in Forest avenue
because OF the approach from the
south OF 4 street car. The automobile
climbed the curbing and crashed
against a telephone pole. The car
was wrecked. Fuller also was thrown
from the machine by the force of the
impact, but except for slight bruises
he was uniniured.
