A Saw Was the Weapon, Then
Bones Were Burned in Stove

How did I.andru XIII his victims7 Perhaps
he win confess this when the French police

believed to have obtained. Anatomical ex-
perts who have studied the bones found at
vernouillet and Gambais declare that the

uals. sections OF skulls. evidently crushed
by a heavy instrument, and portions Of
femurs and other bones which seem to have
been cut IN several pieces by a metal saw.
But Landru seems 10 have had one fairly
respectable passion apart from that shown
by the fact that he remitted regularly con-
siderable sums to his legitimate wife and
son. During the intervals between his ex

Whale Hide for Tire.

The leading novelty at the recent
automobile show at Seattle, Wash.
was a tire made from the hide of q
Pacific coast whale. Except for Its
pliable nature and light red color
none would have suspected it being
other than the rubber product.
At the tannery where it was turned
out it was said that such tires can be
manufactured at one-fOurth the cost
of those of rubber. The hides OF
shark, wolf fish and whales can be
used AS to the supply of these fishes
it was assured auto owners that 1t is
inexhaustible.
Another assurance was given to the
doubling ones in that a single whale
skin will produce over 500 standard
tires.

Art Of Conversation.

Conversation reaches its best when
It leaves wells and convention behind
1t, when people speak face to face. II
may be impossible to attain this with
many; in this perfect sense there are
only few with whom we really talk,
and we cannot always talk even with
them. 1t is, of course, always easy
to exchange words. but many words
may be uttered and yet nothing have
been said.
There are moments when the wells
are thrust aside and the closest In
tercourse becomes for brief time
possible. 1t Is then that people talk
of the one thing they know best, of
their own self. and the 'self's relation
to life's mysteries; it is then, and then
only, that we approach the absolute,
the true, though still 1t may be only
at a distance.
The last reserve between soul and
soul is rarely surrendered; and there
is always the reserve, the limitation,
that lies in the nature OF spoken
words.-Arthur L. Salmon in Chicago

TRYING to Save the Elk.

The elk are in danger of extermina
ton. 10000 head supposed to be in the
Yellowstone having disappeared. This
seems to be caused by cattle men graz
ing their herds on areas formerly oc.
cupied by the elk, which perish in
great numbers when they find their
old pastures denuded. Ranchmen In
many cases have fed them hay out OF
pity and the federal authorities have
bought and stored hay in the hope Of
preserving the breed. Cattle men arc
not much interested by these splendid
examples of animal life, so that the
government should do something on
large scale to preserve them.-Scien-
tific American.

sYPSIES FEEL WARS EFFECTS
IN Rumania They Are Said to Be
Starving-Siaves to Ancient
Superstitions.

OF the dozens of different races in
Rumania, none Is more picturesque
than the gypsies. Like their prototypes
In other lands they rove the country
In great caravans, earning stray pen
MES by begging. dancing, playing and
telling fortunes.
In the cities they sometimes earn
their dread and onions" by shining
shoes, peddling lemonade or acting as
porters.
The high cost of living, which has
drawn tight the strings of every purse,
has brought double hardships to
these wanderers. No matter how well
they play their violins, no matter
what good fortunes they see in the
stars for those about them. they find
1t hard to coax pennies from the
empty pockets of the war-Oppressed
Rumanian people. Many of them
have starved to DEATH
Among the gypsy women and girls
are to be found some striking types
of beauty. Dark of complexion and
hair with shining, long-lashed black
eyes, they are delight to look upon.
They have not yet acquired the art
Of using cosmetic as their sisters in
other countries do.
Superstition plays a large part in
the life of the gypsy. One of the
many ancient customs which will sur
vive among the women is to beat them
selves frightfully If one Of their chill
dren dies. They believe that the death
has been caused by an evil spirit
having entered the body Of the child
as well as the mother, and that if
they chastse themselves the spirit
will depart
One Rumanian gypsy woman whom
a relief worker visited was apparent
ly about to die from pneumonia. The
doctor found numerous bruises all
over her chest. and these had
seriously aggravated her condition. On
questioning her he learned her bruises
were due to beating she had given
herself because one of her eight chill
dren had died.

| it. Their decorations consist of
brightly colored stuffed birds which
hang down to their waist, and crown
Of feathers In the shape Of corona
on their heads. For the rest, they
are practically naked. And as they
dance around and around, holding the
shrunken heads which they have hide
ously painted, their new wives and
children look on. But they do not
dare protest.
1.-THE men were willing, even eager
to pose for photographs, we found, but
the women and children dared not for
fear there was DOGGY man or some
thing In the lens Of the camera. They
are superstitious enough to think that
If picture of them is defaced or torn,
the same thing will happen to them.
Zone Of our party who tried hard to
obtain the picture of a particularly
winsome little girl, could not succeed
until he had given her a present.
Even then, she was unwilling, until
her father ordered her to stand in
tremblingly. He felt Indifferent about
her attitude before, but after she had
accepted the present, he felt she was
morally bound to face the stranger.
"There are no sun dances or rain
dances as there Is plenty Of both. In
deed, there is no need for these In
dams to depend upon the weather at
all. In the first place there is no room
for much planting, as it Is too much
trouble to hack down the trees, and
in the second there Is plenty of hunt
ing and fishing to be done, which
makes agriculture only a pastime
confined to the planting of little corn
and cotton.
1.-THE Jibaros are very fond of catch
ing and eating monkeys. The skillful
brave need use no arrow or gun to
obtain one of these animals for he
has learned to duplicate the monkeys
call exactly. Certain that its mate or
another monkey is calling it, the I'M
fortunate little animal jumps out of
some tree, and is promptly caught by
the experienced tribesman.
"Most of the mammals we caught
were killed by the natives with strange
blow pipes. These pipes are 10 to
Is feet long. An expert blowing little
ball of hard clay through one can
easily kill his object at a distance Of
100 feet.
''The natives method of fishing Is
to poison the stream at intervals with
a pulp called barbasco, which stupe-
fies the fish, But, so remarkable is
this pulp, that what is poisonous to
the fish, is harmless to man, and so
the fish are edible.
Birds can be captured alive if they
Imbibe of certain potion which puts
them In a trance without injurins

| "A mans affiuence among the
Jibaros is measured by the number Of
wives he can capture for himself, be
cause each warrior must defend his
household against the jealousy OF
others in his tribe, and because he has
faithfulness. The women in most
cases seem to be happy enough with
their lot, and submit to their lord and
masters will. But some are ola rebel.
lious spirit.
sanctioned by the rest Of the COM
munity, a terrifically painful punish
ment is inflicted ON the erring wife
by her husband. The warrior chops
at the top of his sQuaw's head with
a little Ratchet, until all the hair is
removed. He is careful to see, how
ever, that the Ratchet does not pene-
trate the skull.
IF the woman is still obdurate, the
husband pins her to the ground by
running a spear through a limb. In
this position she is kept for two and
three days at stretch, and food and
water are brought to her regularly
until the period of the punishment
terminates. If. In spite Of her suffer
ing, the woman is still alive and I'M
repentant, and refuses to live with
her master, she is killed outright.
"These punishments, the Jibaros feel
in their crude way, are justified, for,
doesn't the devil order them to hunt
for the women, and do they not kill
their enemies in a fair fight? And
do they not adopt the children Of their
enemies as children, not as slaves, and
provide for them and for their
mothers?
'The hunt is fearfully difficult, be-
cause Of the impenetrable jungle
through which the warriors must pass.
Sometimes they tramp along animal
trails, but as often as not, they must
cut their way through the terrific
jungle with a knife. Yet, although a
man may already have three wives,
he will endure all manner Of hard
ships to obtain another for himself,
because the medicine man has so Or
dered.
"Thrusting their 1.-the, copper-colored
bodies among some dense shrubhery,
the braves poison their arrows with
another mysterious vegetable concoc-
ton, and shoot them from a blow gun
into the backs of the unsuspect-
Ing savages. The forest growth gives
them an advantage, and when the
lighting is over, the women and chill
dren belonging to the men killed,
peacefully follow their new masters
to their new home.
"The Jibaro braves carry the heads
Of their victims back in triumph to
their village, and mount them. After
much molding, probably in the pres
ence of his new wife, the warrior |
makes the head as small as a fist, /
with the aid of another of the innum-
erable vegetable compounds with |
which the district seems to abound.
Filling the skull with sand and peb-
1les, the Jibaro is ready for the great
dance, in celebration of
his victory.
"The scalp dance is probably the only
dance which this tribe OBJ
serves. Only the men participate In !
