 Graves of Connecticut Indians were fou-d at Laurel Beach not long ago containing the skeletons and the crude utensils which the men. who were those skeletons. had used in their rude life Of aunting and fish .ng. In Egypt and the time of Kinz TayanE Harnen tombs could nave been found. containing utensils as humble as those in the graves Of the Connecticut In- aians.
 
 William Goodseu Rockefeller. nephew of John D. Rockefeller. dies of pneunonia. There Is more money in the family than King Tutank Hamen evrr owned. but the funeral will be simple and little will be buried with aim. but the caaket and the garments which he wears.
 
 r King Tutank Hlmeu could attend the funeral he would be amazed at it's simplicity. and be cause no goods or wa-es were buried iu the grave Tn his day men thought the soul returned to earthly surroundings

Leaves of plants absorb the car bon -dioxide. much as human lungs do air Men take certain of the plants and extract sugar from them. Two London professors announce that they have made sugar from soda water. Soda water Is ordinary water, holding carbou-dloxide in solution The water Is coIored. subected to the action to light. FormaIdehyde Is formed. then sugar. FormaIde- hyde Is a pungent. irritant gas often used as a dtsinfectant. It is Impossible to breathe much of 1t and live.

 Berlin announces a cheap fuel produced by decou,ros5oE water. Water Is a mixture or oxygen and hydrogen. Hydrogen burns with rhe hottest flame. ONyEen is a powerful supporter of combus- tion. These gases are so locked together that it takes as much power to unlock them as they give. If the German professor has discovered q key to the com bi1at.on. which will permit cheap hydrogen. he has effected q great economy.
