DRINK hot BLOOD
African Natives Take Vital Fluid
From Oxen.
Operation Causes No Permanent In.
Jury to the Animal, and May Be
Many Times Repeated.


In the heart of East Africa 1t has
been my lot recently to spend several
months among the Nasal, writes l..
NJ. c., In u London paper.
Familiar to the readers of Rider
Haggard's early romances, these are
the only natives of the Dark continent
who possess any considerable poten-
tial wealth.
Their riches consist In the number
less herds of oxen belonging to this
tribe which Craze on the steppes of
Kenya colony and Tanganyika terri
tory.
Great nomads, the Nasal wander
hundreds Of miles every year In search
Of water and pasturage for their cat
tie. They toll not, neither do they spin,
and, as they never cultivate any crops,
they neither plant nor reap.
At one time they were greatly
dreaded for their warlike prowess.
Nowadays, however, they confine them
selves to raiding, cattle thieying, and
pickering among themselves over water
and grazing rights.
Half dozen Nasal braves promised
one day TO show me how they drink
the blood Of bulls without harming
the animals.
The majority Of these young men
were over six feet in height. All car
rled enormously long assegais with
heavy heads (the assegais is spear
they use for throwng). Many had a
sword and buffalo-hide shield as
WELL
AS they strobe past my tent it was
impossible not to admire the superb
dignity OF their carriage, their finely
chiseled features, and the naughty
glance Of their hawk-like eyes.
A couple Of grimy, grey army blank
cts, affixed to the shoulders Of each
man, hung down loose, fore and aft,
revealing, when they walked, their
shapely limbs and llssom torso.
The bullock was soon caught and
flung on it's side. One man took an
arrow and twisted a cloth guard round
the barb, so that, when fred, 1t should
not penetrate more than an inch. An
other fastened cloth tourniquet
round rie animals neck.
The archer took his stand foot
distant from the OK and shot the shaft
he had prepared from the bow into
the jugular. A steady trickle Of blood,
regulated by the tourniquet, started
to flow; and the nearest Nasal, ap-
plying his mouth to the neck, drank
the flowing fluid. warmt !
When 1t Is thought that enough
blood has been withdrawn, the tournl-
quet Is removed, the puncture in the
artery closes automatically by natural
elastic pressure, and the OK Is free to
go.
Until, perhaps a month or two later,
1t Is decided by his owner that he
ought to be bled again.

Mayoress Mary Peterson adjourned

on Tuesday evening, to Wednesday
night, owing to the chambers being

Trees That Tell the Soil Moisture.

An interesting possibility was
brought out by DR., Sam f. Trelease
Of Johns Hopkins university in his
paper before the physiological section
of the Botanical Society Of America.
He pointed ont that the leaflets Of the
coconut, banana and MANILA trees
folded along their midrlbs during the
hotter and dried periods of the day,
or longer periods, and opened again
at night, and during moisture periods
especially very soon after fall OF
rain.
This was shown to be due to the
swelling or shrinking of two strips OF
tissue along the midrib which act as
hinges. These changes are very regu-
lar and have been proved to happen
with q definite relation to the amount
of water absorbed by the plant.
He suggested the possibility Of using
this phenomenon I'm connection witS
irrigation not only in crops of the trees
mentioned but also In crops In the
vicinity of which the above trees
could be grown as indicators of the
water content in the soll.-Cleveland

New English WING.

A new type of wing which Is of the
utmost Importance TO aviation has just
been perfected In England after more
than ten years of experimenting. The
new wing is built with the object Of
increasing the lifting power of ma
chimes, and the first tests have been
satisfactory. An arplane fitted with
the new wing, seen from distance,
looks like q huge seagull with wing
tips depressed. Instead of two rigid,
horizontal straight planes, single
rigid plane is used. which, from the
center, curves outwards and downwards
TO the tips. No fabric is used In the
manufacture OF the wing. Its surface
Is of mahogany veneer, thus making
it better able to withstand all kinds
of weather.

THINKING and Doinu.

'It Is perfectly easy to write 1922
II YOU only think what you are doing"
remarks the Boston Globe.
That Is one Of the great Ifs that
continually interpose hazards and oh.
stacles In the path of the weary mum
dane pilgrim. Possibly II Is the most
important one of all The majority
OF our errors ana sins of omission, es-
pcclally those Of minor character,
are due to our failure to think what
we are doing. But the mere rccognl.
tlon of this failure and the earnest
desire TO correct it viii not prove suf'
fcient In most cases as an eirectual
remedy. The great trouble is that il
Is practically impossible to think what
one Is doing in very many particu-
lars.

Meteorolouy,

For the last three years course in
weather science applied to aeronautics
has been given In the University of
California at the southern ranch, To-
Gated In Los Angeles. The present
year at the university started with a
large enrolment of freshmen and
sophomores and bids fair to eclipse the
proceeding years In interest and accom-
pllshment. The majority of the mem
bers of the class are students in the
engineering. department OF the univer-
sity. SlXty-nlne members are taking
the course in aeronautic meteorology.
The object of the course is to make
the students thoroughly conyersant
with the principles and practical ap-
plicatlon of meteorology applied to
aeronautlcs.

Jaundiee lnvades Country.

Acute infectious jaundice is now cpl
demic in this country for the twentieth
time in seventy-two years. The New
York state department of health an
nounced in January that this prostrat-
ing and distressing malady had APP
peared in virtually every section of
the state, says the New York Times.
DR.. Royal S. Copeland, local health
commissioner, issued statement to
the effect that jaundlce had made its
appearance In this city and asked
physicians attached to the hospital
service, as well as those in private
practice, to cooperate with his de-
partment in ascertainlng more fully
the facts with reference to the disease
by reporting any cases that had come
to their attention in the last two or
three months and submitting import
ant facts regarding the clinical his
tories of their cases.

"Flu" Is a Bad One.

The invisible, unidentified organism
or germ that causes "hu" can pass
through a stone wall.
"Flu" itself is the most mysterious
disease in existence.
SO says DR.. William ii. Park Of New
York city's health department.
He adds that three years study of
"hu" has informed the medical profes-
sion of only one thing-that is, that
they know nothing about 1t.
Is stu" caused by germ? If so,
1t travels through the air long dis
tances like bird. For this dread
disease is positively known to have
attacked and killed residents of the
far North who hadn't even seen other
human beings for FIVE years.

ART IN CUTTING DIAMONDS
Peculiar Properties OF the Precioro

stood by the Lapldary.

A diamond cutter, writing for the
London Mail, relates some Interesting
facts as to forms Into which diamonds
are, cut to enhance their luster A
diamond Is the hardest substance In
nature and cannot even be scratched
except with another diamond, while
some stones can be cut only with their
own powder.
Yet the hardest OF all can be cleft
by n heavy blow delivered In the right
direction; that Is, parallel to the faces
of the eight sides which Its crystal
shows. 1t Is this property that permits
the very large stones, such as the "Cul-
llnan" diamond, to be worked.
In spite Of this, diamond has the
simplest composition Of all precious
stones, for II Is only crystalized car
bon, ard q near relation to ordinary
graphite, usually called "blacklend."
But Il has been formed by enormous
pressure I'm the remotest depths Of the
earth's crust, and probably forced to-
ward the surface by steam.
The principal forms into which a
diamond Is cut are:
Brilliants, with an octagonal face
surrounded by many smaller facets.
Rose diamonds, with fiat base
above which are two rows OF triangu'
lar facets, the uppermost terminating
IN point.
Table diamonds, which are thin
stones cut with triangular facets.
What makes the diamond so pre-.
clous Is the presence Of inward "flre"--
the mysterious CLEANS of blue and red
| that change with every movement, and
| which makes such an appeal TO our
sense Of beauty.
The charm Of precious stones lies
In their brllllancy and luster, the In
| tenslty OF the latter depending upon
the polish of the surface; for II the
stone Is dull or uneven the light j.
scattered and not reflected.
The only stones at all approaching
it are zlrcon and the green garne
| called "olivlne." The luster of nj
| other stones Is vitreous, such as seer
on the surface of broken glass. Ant
the third type Is that shown by resins
In order to bring out the full beauty
Of stone II must be cut In such {
way that the facets reveal It's splen
dor, and the art of the lapldary rests
upon his knowledge of what becomes
Of the light when It falls upon The
stone; SO he must understand the law'
of reflection and refraction.
When q white light Is refracted int
colorless stone 1t changes and Is spill
up into spectrum. Since the refrac
tive index Increases progressively a
