MEDICINE MAN NOT A FAKER
According to English Scientist, He
Deals in the Occult, and With
High Moral intent.

The medicine man, as known to the
ancients and to the aborlglnes OF
America, Africa and other lands, was
no faker or humbug or quack, accord
ing to DR.. Marrett OF the University
of Oxford (England). In book on
Psychology and Folklore he describes
the Australian bushman's incantationss
to drive out of mans head the cryS-
tai that has caused his disease, after
which he produces in his, hand piece
of crystal, apparently out of the suf-
ferer's head.
Neither he nor the patient nor the
patients friends is deceived; they
all know that he has had the crystal
III his hand or up his sleeve all the
time. and that he has been acting
Enthusiastically or symbolically through
out the Incarnation. The crystal is
a symbol; of the mischief within the
head. What the medicine man really
does is to set the good magic influence
or mama" within himself to combat
the bad mama" affecting his patient.
He, in fact, deals in the occult, but he
does so with high moral intent, and
has attained 80 the power of so deal
ing only after severe training, involv-
ing fasting; isofation and all me other
miseries of 9 special initiation.

Psychology oF Laughter.

In the psychology of laughter one
traces the development Of humor
through it's many stages, showing the t
close relation between the 8ppr9eci-
alton of the tribe and the enjoyment
of the nursery. Children laugh some
what in the manner Of savages, mot
being able, because of their limited
experience, to see the subtle shades OF
q joke that are only discernible in a
high type of mental development
Swift's "GuIliver's Travels has much
satire in it which the girl and boy
luckily cannot fathom; 1t takes
sophisticated mind to understand it.
But the adventures among the Lilll'
putians and Brobdingnagians are class
les in the nursery. SO it is in the arg-
er aspects of laughter. The crowds
will respond to coarser type OF hu'
NOR than the individual.-EXchange

Flute Hiqhly Esteemed.

playing was looked upon as the fash.
ianable pastime of the elite, and, con-

from time to. time, and flutes OF the
most careful and delicate workman

this to have been the case.
From Greece, the instrument ap'

Romans who, indeed, borrowed als

we learn from Tacitus that even the
Emperor Nero himself. did not DIS

Roman conquests came also the adop

Hence the instrument spread through.
out the civilized world and its use be-
came common.

Revival Of the British seard.

A young man about town walked
down Bond street in London recently,
and the sight so shocked the sensitive
british public that: the London ,DaHX
Chronicle saw tit to run the item as
a news item.
He was elegantly dressed, says the
paper, and carried the familiar cane
of Piccadilly. while monocle repesed
IN his right eye. But his beard was
the masterpiece of the outfit. 1t was
very dark, it recalled the pictures OF
the Stuart kings, and created a SEN
saiion wherever it was seen.
The young man, except for his
beard was Enthusiastically English:
II don't think that boards for young
men are likely to be popular outside
the West end" hairdresser in the
peighborhood of Bond street told q
Chronicle representative. =.
But certain young men about town l
appear to be tired of looking like
stage heroes, and have decided to
grow boards. A beard makes some
men Iook younger, and a man who has
q weak mouth and a chin which slight'
~ recedes should wear both mustacha
and beard"

He gave no command to the dog. IN

and the next morning the 500 missing
sheep were gathered in and Sirrah
was mounting guard over them. How
the animal got them in the dark was
beyond the comprehension OF the shep-

could not have effected 1t with greater

DENSEsT OF KNOWN WOODS
"Liqnun Vitae" Without Rival for
Many Purposes-Makes the Finest
Tenpin Balls.

They are making tenpin balls OF a
composition" but the classic balls
are still turned from the heart of
that wood called lignum vitae, Latin
words meaning stone of life, and
which we render as "living stone.
Many persons believe that iignum
vitae Is not a botanical name, bus
merely q trade name covering numer-
Gus variaties of very hard, compact
and heavy wood. This is not the fact.
The Iignum vitae tree grows in Flor
ida, on the FLORIDA keys, in the Ba-
hama islands and various islands OF
the West Indies. The supply Of this
wood is negligible from the Florida
keys, the trade being mainly supplied
by the Bahamas, though Hayti is Il
large producer. The tree is a low,
gnarled, round-headed growth and it
sometimes attainS height OF - or
80 feet, but its short trunk is fire.
Quently two and one-half or three feet
thick. 1t has thin bark, rarely more
than one-eighth of an inch thick and
the surface is separated into small,
thin, white. scales very much like those
covering the bark of the white oak
tree.
1t is the densest wood known,
cubic foot of dry and well-seasoned
lignum vitae weighing tritle more
than II pounds. 1t is very close
grained and varies in color from dark
green to yellowish brown. 1t has been
used for sheathing ships and is now
extensively used in making blocks,
pulleys, cogs and other bearings in
certain forms of machinery and III
making mortars and pestles.

FIND SHIP IN HEART OF CITY
Hull Buried in San Francisco, Records
Show, Is Relic Of the Gold
Rush Days.

San Francisco discovered an Old
wooden ship under the streets OF Its
business section recently, relates Pop
ular Mechanics Magazine. Contrac-
tors. excavating a deep foundation for
a new skyscraper with steam shovels,
we're hindered in their work by strange
massive timbers found 80 feet below
the surface. They had accidentally
stumbled upon the preserved remains
of some strange buried craft.
The bronze-sheathed and copper
bolted hull measured 100 feet in
length by 50 feet beam, and great in
terest was aroused by the puzzlipg To-
cation of the relic mile from any
water. The city's history revealed,
however, that it was the Euphemia,
bit of whose historic and romantic
existence is as follows:
In the days Of 40, when the mad
stampede around the Horn to the new new
California gold fields was on, numer-
Gus ships were abandoned by their
crews at the end Of the journey, and
left to rot on the mud Hats Of San
Francisco bay. But, in forming the
municipal government Of the fast
growing city by the Golden Gate, the
first town council bought the
Euphemia, and converted it into a
prison ship. Those were rough"
days in San Francisco and this, the
first Jail the city could boast, was tied
to wharf, and soon filled up.
An old sketch OF the scene at this
part of the water front reveals an
other ship, the Apollo. converted into
saloon and lodging house. AS the
city grew and forced the waters OF
the bay back from the spot by filling
in the shadows, the novel spectacle
was formed of strange ship sticking
up out Of the ground in the heart OF
the city, surrounded. by substantial
stone and brick structures.
During the next Sc years, the city
attained great size. Then 1t was sul-
denly 1aff leveled by great fire; And
had it not been for the necessity OF
deep foundation for the latest edi-
Gee to rise oyer the spot, Y years
after the Euphemia became jail, the
old hull would have slumbered on for
another fifty or one hundred years.
As it was, the contractors experienced
considerable difficulty in removing the
mud and sand-locked skeleton With
modern steam tackle. but made small
fortune out of the sale Of the heavy
copper and brass junk found On it.

AirpIanes Sold for 60 Cents.

The machines had become out OF
date after several years Of service
and had been junked, the wings and
the engines being removed. NeveGthe-
less, the purchasers who paid 90 cents
for an airplane received the body OF
the machine with the copper fittings
and pipes, which in all originally cost
several hundred dollars.
The purchasers. for the greater
part, were anxious to buy the planes
to break up for irewood during the
coal shortage. Small boys dragged
their fathers along to buy plane so
that they might get the wheels to use
on scooters and homemade automo-
