INDIAN TRIBES USE
WRESTLING LANGUAGE
Able to Express Their Thoughts
Perfectly by Its Use, Says
Mining Engineer.

Carlisle, Pa.-That entire tribes of
Indians in Mexico carry on long con-
versations by means of whistling is as
serted by Harold T. Mapes, mining en-
gineer, who was for twelve years in
Mexico, but now lives in Carlisle.
MapeS declares. that the Indians have
a whistling language and are able to
express their thoughts perfectly by its
use. He says it is not series of signs
or calls signifying danger, love, fear,
peace, war, ETC., but regular language,
by which the most subtle shades of
thought may be expressed.
Like people in other parts Of the
world, the Mexican Indians occasion
ally whistle for their dinners, only they
are able to explain by their whistles
exactly what kind of a dinner they
want-either q simple meal of tortillas
and frijoleS or a more elaborate feast
of enchiladas and mole guajalote, with
cerveZtsOr vino.
Mapes says that he understands that
the whistling language has been hand
ed down from generation to generation
from the time of the Toltecs and Az
tees and that Indian lovers can put a
world Of tenderness and passion into
their whistled declarations of love or
stir their fellows to heroic deeds by
the fierceness with which they whistle
a call to arms.
A whistling language has been used
from time immemorial by the Swiss
mountaineers, and Neapolitan sailors
converse frequently by means Of whis-
Ting. Convicts in the big jails in Ma
Piles converse freely by means Of whis-
Ting, and there is apparently no limit
to their whistling vocabulary.

CATTLE KING BEGAN
As HELPER IN MARKET
Romantic Rise of Butcher Boy
Who Died Leaving an Estate
of S20,OO0,O00

Oakland, Cal.-The romantic rise of a
young German butcher boy, once the
butt Of jokes at Washington market, in
New York, for his inability to speak
English, to the position of cattle king
Of the west and probably the largest
single land owner in the country has
been revealed by a legal controversy
California
Three years before he died in Oak
land, Henry Miller decided his entire
S20,OOO,O00 estate to his daughter, Mrs.
]. Leroy Nickel of San Francisco, to
avoid the Inheritance tax collectors Of
the state. The collectors now are at
tempting to find a way in which they
can collect the tax.
Miller came to this country from
Wurttemberg, Germany, in 1S47. He
worked for q time in small down
town hotel in New York as a porter
Finally he obtained work In Washing
ton market as a apprentice, where he
was known as "Potsdam."
He saved his money and in Deem
Der, 1850, Joined the gold rush to Cali
fornia. He arrived too late to get to
the gold fields and got job as a sec
ond butcher In San Francisco. In ten
months he had saved enough to set up
for himself. Then the miners who had
found the gold came back and, spend
ing their money recklessly, made for
tunes for the merchants of the town.
Miller later became associated with
Charles Lux, cattleman, and together
they bought hundreds Of thousands OF
acres Of grazing land in California,
Oregon, Nevada and other western
states. They went into the cattle rails
ing business and at one time owned
$4,000 head of cattle and 100000 sheep.

Why the Baby Cries.

Now we know why the baby cries
For a long time the cause was yelled
In sbscurity. 1t might be an inacces-
sible pin, or it might be the helpless
discrepancy betwixt the heavenly king
dom and this world, or it might be
plain case of collie, called by what new
tangled term you please. 1t has re-
manned for an advertising expert to
discover that the baby cries in order
to advertise. 1t is the babys effective
announcement in the imperative mood
that he wants to be up and petted or
he wants the moon or he wants some
thing else, and "he won't be happy till
he gets It," There is no denying that
for an infant industry the baby's ad-
vertising is a great success. Nearly
every time he gets results. and the
most astute and alert professional So
licitor cannot show a higher percent
age Of success.-Philadelph Ledger.

GALLONS OF HONEY IN
CLOSED UP FIREPLACE


Montclair, N. IA P. Boehm, vice
president of B. Altman & Co., New
York, closed up big open fireplace at
his residence, POI Midland avenue.
Montclair, four years ago for two rea-
sons. He did not care to use the fire
place, for one thing, and bees in the
chimney frequently went down into
his dining room.
Recently Mr.. Boehm decided to use
the open fireplace, but found 1t impos-
sible to lift the sheet Of iron he hac
placed over the outlet to keep out the
bees. Believing some bricks from the
chimney had fallen down, he set a
man to work making the clearance
Operations from the roof stirred up a
fuss among the bees, which still inhab-
tied the chimney.
The workman decided to chloroform
the bees and, placing a saturated rag
upon the end Of a long pole, went
about the task. When the stick was
pulled up again, however, the rag was
dripping with honey, the weight Of
which had made impossible the easy
removal Of the sheet iron.
The next thing was the boring of
hole In the iron to allow the honey to
run out, a big tin pail being used to
catch 1t. That quickly filed up, and
another pail was procured. This vessel
also filed up, and some kitchen pans
and kettles were used. There was no
diminution in the flow, and a wash
boiler was next used to catch the honey.
This also was filed. Before the honey
had all run out a dozen vessels, large
and small, were sitting around the
room, all filed with delicious honey.

Liquid Fire IN War.


Liquid fire as a war weapon Is thus
described In an English journal:
In the earliest models the combus-
nble liquid was propelled by a gas
condenser out Of portable or fixed
reservoir and was lighted by some au-
tomato device as 1t escaped from the
nozzle Of the projecting instrument.
Later a double barreled liquid gun
was devised, having the upper barrel
much smaller than the lower and piy-
oted so as to turn independently. The
fluid Is shot from the two barrels ST.
multaneously, but only that from the
upper one ignites automatically.
This small, burning stream Is so dt
rected that 1t unites with the larger
nonburning one at any desired point
and then, Of course, ignites the larger
Jet. The small stream is then shut OF,
the large one continuing to flow.
The flames do not spread backward
along the jet toward the nozzle, but
are carried forward to the target and,
striking the ground, form q veritable
sheet Of fire, which continues to ignite
the fluid as fast and as long as it falls.
