Why HeIicopter Is Of Little Value.

that the new machine claimed to be

Conner and Health.

The use of copper sulphate for the
disinfection of reservoirs and the de-
struction Of algae and noxious germs
in water has led to much discussion of
the old idea that copper is dangerous
to health. An official of the Depart
ment of Agriculture maintains that a
change has come over scientific opin-
ion on this subject. Strange as 1t
may seem, he says, there Is not an au-
thentic case of copper poisoning on
record, either in this country or
abroad. and he adds that toxicologists
and pl.. Jlogists who have sufficiently
studied the subject agree that copper,
in the amount used for publication Of
water, Is harmless. On account of the
many defects In the practical use Of
filtration plants, he regards purifica-
tion of water supplies by copper as a
preferable method, or, at least, as a
safe auxiliary.-Washington Star.

STRANGE Tribal Legend.

From the Navajo country, embrac-
ing the adjoining corners OF utah'
Colorado, Arizona and New Mexico,
there has recently been smuggled one
of the rarest patterns of Indian
blankets that has been permitted TO
fall into the hands of white men.
The pattern, described and Illustrated
in Popular Mechanics Magazine Is
known as the "Yebitsai dancers and
involves a tribal tradition about which
the Navajos are decidedly uncommuni-
catiye. The word "smuggled' Is used
advisedly, for the blanket was re-
moved with extreme secrecy, mas
much as knowledge by the Indians OF
its removal probably would have re-
suited in unplear,ntness, to say the
least.
Collectors Of Indian curios, who
have inspected the blanket assert that
they have never seen another or the
same pattern. although 1t has been
understood that one Of a similar type
was obtained some years ago and sent
TO the Smithsonian institution.

To Explore the Sahara.

Under Rothschild auspices, zoo
logical expedition, composed of one
Englishman and one Scotchman, Is
forcing its way deep into the heart
Of the Sahara desert, a region which
Is practically unmapped zoologically,
the Living Age states.
At its head is Capt. Angus Buchanan
geological explorer of great skill
and experience. The expedition has
been sent to find and collect birds,
animals and plants wherever it is able
to penetrate, to look for any traces
of Roman or other classical civiliZa-
tion in the central Sahara, and to
secure camera and motion-picture
records of the habits, customs and
general mode Of life of the inhabitants
Of the country.
The expedition, with its camel cara
van, Is now heading for the desert
north of Nigeria. Communications are
necessarily very irregular, for there
are only five main roads across the
desert, some of which have never yet
been travelled by Europeans. Once
Captain Buchanan leaves the French
post of Agades there may be no news
from him for months.

ALL ACCORDING TO NATURE
Animals and Birds Universally Obey
Law Seemingly Implanted by
Supreme Intelligence.

Strange things happen In the
jungles. Caryeth Wells, explorer and
lecturer, tells about the hornbills,
long-tailed birds so big they often
measure five feet from tail tip to
beak. In Malay jungles Wells saw
the male hornbill during the mating
season drive the female into hollow
tree, then wall up the opening with
mud. This protects Mamma Hornbill
against enemies. She stays in her
Jail until eggs are laid and hatched.
Then pa lets her out. Meantime he
has fed her through small opening
left in the mud. He gathers the food
by using his saw-toothed beak to cut
fruits and flowers from their stalks.
| Maybe that's where man originally
got his idea for the saw, now used
to cut boards.
Not necessary to go as far as Ma
laysia. In Canada, when timber wolves
mate, Mrs. Wolf hunts a cavern with n
roof that slopes downward to meet
the floor in V-shape. She pushes her
young far back in the V. This is to
keep Pa Wolf from eating his family.
Mother Wolf can get at the babies
easily, with her small body. Pa Wolf,

WHY-
Indians Mark Desert Springs
With Small Rock Heaps

In travelling over the plains Of west
ern Texas one now and then comes
upon little isolated heaps of rocks, In
twos, that at first glance seem not at
all remarkable.
After n time, however, one notices
that one heap is generally about three
feet high and the other about Il foot
lower. The two are always within a
few feet of each other and usually
on an elevation or AZ plateau COM
manding view of the country for
five miles or more. The rocks are
roughly heaped together, as If left by
children at play.
In time one learns the significance
of these rock heaps, as he talks with
some Of the Indians, who know by
heart all the legends and customs
and deeds of their people,
According to these Indians, when
the Great Spirit Tapped up the mighty
rivers of the plains, he left springs
and water basins here and there for
the antelope and the Indians. These
the antelope easily found by scent,
but the Indian had to search long
and anxiously for them. Once found,
they were seldom lost, thanks to these
rude rock heaps.
You may see TN Indian crouch down
behind the taller heap, sight over the
low one and mark the farthest object
in straight line, which is likely to
be a clump of bushes on the horizon.
Then he rides toward these bushes
and finds-not water, as he expected,
but two other heaps of rocks.
Sighting as before, and ,taking
rock-faced cliff perhaps toward the
southwest, as II goal, he rides couple
of miles farther, and there trickling
out from beneath the cliffs rocky
brow, IS Il spring of fresh, clear water.
II Is said that whenever II band of
Indians come upon new spring they
built the rock heaps along the trail.
AT any rate, 1t appears that these
rude signposts lead either To water
or 10 places that show traces of II for
mer ercourse.-Christian Science

Why Ioebures Can't Be Measured.

II is practically impossible to obtain
the measurements of an iceberg below
and above water on account of its
size; and, probably for that reason,
the statistics given by different author
tiles vary considerably. The Encyclo-
paedia Britannica says, when ,describ-
ling icebergs, that, "Only one-ninth OF
the mass Of Ice Is seen above WATER"
while in other works statements are
made that icebergs float with about
one-eighth of their volume above the
surface of the water and seven-eighths
below IL. and that they float with only
one-seventh or one-slxth Of the Ice
above the surface of the sea.

all due to the proprietor's early expe-

when he began business and was

he happened to draw plump one. She

he stored away in the back of his
