Anatomical lest.

In recent years many anatomists
have given much attention to solving
the problem of reproducing from the
skulls the faces of ancient peoples.
According to Nature, Prof. G. w. M.
Poynter of the University of Nebraska
some time ago gave three skulls to a
sculptor, with the request that he re-
construct the fleshy parts of the face
and head according to the data pub
lished by Professor Won Eggeling of
the University of Jena. Professor
Poynter did not tell the artist that
the three skulls were all of natives
of North America. AS a matter of
fact one, possibly of the Pleistocene
age, was found by Mr.. Robert F. Gil
der in a mound of river loan in Ne
braska; one belonged to an Indian Of
pre-Columbian date; and one was that
of a modern Indian. The photographs
of the artists work show in all three
cases the characteristic face of the
American Indian. Whatever the age
of the Nebraska skull may prove to
be, it's owner was undoubtedly a man
of the Indian type.

METHODS FOR FEEDING MEAL
Practical Experience Has Shown That
It Is Most Economical TO Mix
Meal With Ensi'aqe.

The plan for cutting the fodder or
hay and mixing the bran. millfeed and
cOrnchop with it and feeding it mois-
tened is preferable, in our opinion, to
any other method. says a writer in
Baltimore American. BY feeding meal
dry or made into dough some portion
of it will pass into the fourth stomach
and escape only partially digested.
The plan of mixing the meal with
water and making a thick slop is
preferable to feeding it dry or in a
doughty state
The meal then passes, as it does
when mixed with the feed. into the
rumen or paunch, whence it is passed,
after undergoing rumination, into the
reticulum or second stomach, in a
condition fitted for perfect digestion
in the third and fourth stomachs and
the bowels.
If ensilage is fed. mix the meal with
the ensilage. This method of feeding
we have followed for a number of
years with milk COWS and fattening
cattle. and after careful tests, know
from practical experience that it is
the most economical way to feed meal
There is no waste of feed and larger
quantity of milk may be given.

UNITING NORTH AND SOUTH
Railroad From Nome to Cape Horn
May Be Considered a Certainty
of the Future.

Stimulation of commerce Letwee1
North and South America, due to the
European war, has revived interest in
the project of an all-rail route con.
Meeting the United States with the
countries of the southern hemisphere.
When this is carried out, as it Is al
most certain to be some day for
strategic as we'll as commercial rea-
sons, it must be extended to include
railway connection with Alaska, where
the United States government now
has surveying parties in the field se'
lecting routes for a railway system to
develop the resources Of that country
Such a railway, reaching continu-
ously from the great pateau Of central
Alaska to the pampas of South Amer
lea and beyond, would constitute the
biggest enterprise of its kind ever un-
dertaken, if it were not that more than
half of the line has already been built
and is in operation.
Since the surveys for the Pan-Amer.
lean railway were made there has
been a steady development in railway
building in South America, particular
Iy in Peru, Bolivia, Chile and Argen'
tina, so that much of the work
planned at that time has already been
done
That portion of western Canada ly'
ing east of the coast range. formerly
considered a forbidding country with
an arctic climate, has been invaded
by two trunk line railways, and its
resources are being rapidly developed.

MOSS OF VALUE IN SURGERY
Has Long Been Recognized as a Wen
derful Healer Of All Wounds
Received In Warfare.

The warriors who came from tba
North to assist Brian Boru at the
battle OF Clontarf and routed the
Danes, used a native gray moss to
plug and heal their wounds, and the
old legends of Ireland and Western
Scotland give many amazing Instances
of its success.
For instance, there Is the tale Of
the ancient hero who fought without
ceasing for several weeks against
scores of enemies-one down, tother
come on. He was only vanquished by
the cruel expedient of keeping him so
closely employed in battle that he
could not gather moss to plug his
wounds. Nor would his enemies al.
low him even one handful of fresh
sphagnum.
Right through the history of the
clans there are continual references
to the magic moss. a supply of which
every hero seems to have carried.
Indeed, to within the last two hundred
years handful of sphagnum was part

FILL bitches AND GULLIES
Stones Are About Best Material for
Filling pressions-Water is Per-
mitted to Drain Through.
By R. I THROcKMoRToN. Kansas


Experiment StationD
The little bitches and gullies that
form on rolling farms grow rapidly if
neglected and deep channels with
steep sides result. By stopping the
flow of the water in these small
streamlets with such material as straw.
brush and stones, they can be made
gradually to fill themselves. Such OBJ
structions cause the soil to be deposit
ed and the ditch will be filled up back
of the barrier. If measures are not
taken to prevent the small depressions
on slope from growing, they rapidly
enlarge in three directions, becoming
deeper. wider and longer.
The best way to stop up small
bitches and make them fill up is to
make a dam of stones. Stones are
about the best material for this pur-
pose. because they collect the sedi-
meut and at the same time let the wa
ter drain through, and water hole
is not formed
When a ditch is very shallow, only
a few inches deep. a board held in
place with stakes is often sufficient
TO stop further erosion. Straw is also
very good for these shallow bitches.
It is very effective in catching the
soil. but is sometimes washed out by
a hard rain. COrnstalks are even bet
ter than straw. Brush can be used.
too. but is hardly dense enough when
used alone. Straw and brush together
are better than either alone. If ce-
ment dams are built. some way must
be provided for the water TO get
through. or else a pond will be formed
Cement dams are really not worth the
extra cost

CHARACTER TOLD BY HANL
Expert CriminoIogists Have by Direct
Tests Proved Their Theories to
Be Correct.

A French savant contends that the
murderer has distinctive hand. His
face may not be hideous, but the hands
always are, and elf-condemnatory.
Evidence on the latter characteristic
is scanty, and rests upon the inves'
LEGATIONS of the French criminolo-
gists; but as to the former it is a
fact that some of the most brutal muir
ders on record have been perpetrated
by men whose countenances habitu-
ally wore a very mild expression.
Deeming was pleasant man to speak
to until crossed; but some of the
authorities who examined his hands
declare his broad thumb indicated the
born murderer. The true ball-headed
thumb gives to the first phalange
round, dubious appearance. 1t is
short, and the nail is so abbreviated
as to suggest that it has been gnawed.
1t is embedded in the flesh, which
rises on either side and beyond it.
DumOllard, wholesale murderer, had
a hand remarkable for its thickness
and length of palm in proportion to
the fingers. He had a significant
sign, common to most murdererS-
namely, the almost entire absence of
lines in the palm, save the three prin-
cipal-the lines of life, head and
heart. These lines were very strong
ly defined. The line of the head-the
center line extending across the palm
was violently cut by the line OF life
running upward from the wrist. Chiro-
nancy interprets this to foretell
a violent death. His fingers were
knotty and uneven at the nail pha-
langes. To sum up, the signs of the
murderer's hand are: Firstly. the
"pouce en- billie" Secondly, and only
less important, the thickness Of the
Mount of Mars at the edge of the
hand, from which flows the blood d.
rect to the brain al the slightest mo-
ton, and causes the man to see red
Thirdly, the scaffold sign in the sew
erance of the line of the head"
Fourthly, the presence only in the
palm of the three principal lines Oc-
casionally reduced to two, and al
most always of bright scarlet. Fifth
ly, crooked fingers with spatulate
tips, the nails small and uneven. Ac-
cording to the rules of art, therefore,
a murderer, if a murderer by DISPOSE
ton, and not (as in most cases) by
accident, ought to have a hand with
all, or nearly all, these characteris-
tics.

FEED FOR WEAVING THE PIGS
and Grain Ration Are Necessary
for the Best Results.

After the pigs have been weaned.
plenty of skim milk, fresh pasture and
a grain ration in addition are r,eces-
sary for best results. In no case will
it be found advisable to expect pigs
to make profitable growth on pasture
alone.
At the age of weaving the pig should
be making very rapid and his most
profitable growth. 1t takes 50 per
cent more feed to put a pound Of
gain on 150-pound pig than to put
q pound on one weighing 40 pounds.
and SO per cent more feed for a $50
pound pig.
Keep the pigs gaining while young
on pasture and dairy products. if
available. always supplemented with
a grain ration.

Reconstructed Man Costs $500.

With exhibitions and catalogues of
artificial limbs brought to notice one
gets to calculating the cost of a re-
constructed man. Seemingly a little
more than $500 would suffice. A pair
of articulated legs cost about $3.50,
and a pair of arms about 500. Ears,
with drums, etc, cost SIS each; eyes
$50 a pair, and so on. Without heart
and brain a man IS worth about $500.
