After %threshing. the next process is
to separate the wheat from the chaff.
This Is done by the aid of the gentle
breezes that usually arise during the
evening hours, no matter how varm
the summer day may have been.
The tools are very simple.s A two
pronged fork, converted from a single
limb of an oak tree, is used to move
the long straw, and with this the
worker stirs the grain during the
process of treading it out. For the
%winnowing a fork, also made of oak
wood, but with five fiat prongs. is
used. This is the implement referred
to as the "fan." of which we read in
sacred story. A wooden shovel also
plays its part.

THANKSGIVING TO SUN-G0D
bration Which in a Measure Cor
responds to Ours.

Each year the Pueblo Indians who
inhabit the two-tefraeed, clay COM
munity houses which rise tier on tier
to the height of five stories at Taos,
n. NJ, celebrate the festival of San
Geronimo day.
In the morning, races and dances
are held and In the afternoon, Indian
clowns climb a thick pole, at the top
Of which hangs a dead sheep, vege-
tables and other food. The one for
tunate enough to reach the top lowers
the provisions to his companions. To
climb this pole at all requires true In
dian agility.
The autumn festival is not so much
a tribute to San Geronimo as a thanks
giving to the bountiful sun-god for the
harvest that has been plentifully sup
piled.
A great many tourists visit Taos ant

which are held on the last day of Sep

SING TO SETTLE QUARRELS
Eskimos Have Manner of Adjusting
Grievances That is Said to Work
Satisfactorily to Them.

The Eskimos, who live in the ice
bound, barren northland, have a way
of settling quarrels which seems very
strange and amusing to those who live
in a land of policemen and courts of
justice. There, when quarrels arise,
the man who has a grievance writes a
song in which he tells the wrongs that
have been done him. When this has
been composed to his satisfaction he
invites his enemy to come and hear
him sing it. This the enemy must do,
and he brings with him all his rela-
tives and many of his friends, while
the singer also has gathered his
friends and relatives for the occasion,
which is considered something of a
general entertainment by the people of
the village in which the men live.
Then, while other men of the village
pound madly on huge drums, the song
of wrongs is begun. When it is fin
ished. if the audience expresses APP
proval, the singer is considered to have
won and to have a just cause of com
plant. But If dissatisfaction is ex-
pressed, that is considered sufficient
punishment. After the song every one
dances and the party breaks up in
great good humor.

Fishes Yawn When Bored.

Did you ever see a fish yawn? Rich
ard Elmhirst, an English biologist.
tells us that yawning is a common
habit of cod. saithe, cobbler, plaiee and
various other kinds of fish. From his
description. the piscatorial yawn Is
very much like the human yawn, ex-
cept that il is done under water. He
says: "From numerous observations
| nm led 10 think that this action Of
fishes is a real yawn, and serves the
true physiological purpose of a yawn-
that is. flushing the brain with blood
during periods of ~sluggishness. The
conditions conducive to yawning are a
slight increase In temperature, and,
suppose. the accompanying diminution
of Oxygen."zPopular Science Monthly.

Destroyers Have Frustrated Ger

Senator Thompson Of Kansas Says
British Grand Fleet 10 Eighty
Miles Long.

Washington, Sept. 20. - Senator
Thompson of Kansas, recently re-
turned from a trip abroad, told the
senate that the submarine, while still
an annoyance and a hindrance, Is no
longer a serious menace. There is,
the senator said, positive knowledge
that one-half of Germany's submarine
fleet. which has never been more than
800 boats, has been destroyed or cap.
tured by the Allies.
1T is to the navy that this credit
for the destruction of these outlaw
seagoing craft is due" declared he.
The navy is and has been the back
bone of this war, the same as 1t has
been of almost every great war in
history. The destroyer is the ship
which has brought Germany to her
knees in submarine warfare and will
keep her here"
Ships are now operating across the
English channel with about the same
ease and security as before the war,
Senator Thompson said. He suggested
that the menace on the Atlantic would
be lessened by placing German prison
ers on returning transports.
Senator Thompson told of visiting
the British grand fleet.
Sailing single file," he said, with
out counting the numerous d~estroyers,
submarines, submarine chasers and
other smaller craft 1T is said to be
about 80 miles in length and requires
hours going at ordinary speed to pass
In review. With such a fleet no one
ever need worry about the German
navy doing any great damage"
