wife hastened to him and wrapped a
shawl about his middle TO hold them
in.
With never wcrl Of complaint he
walked the distance tn a camp fire and
sat down. II was some little time.
says Adventure Magazine, before the
surgeons tending the wounded, whit.
and red, reached him. An opera:Ira
was necessary. American Horse .;e.
cllned chloroform In the tepee 10 which
he had been removed. He had his own
palliative. He spoke n few words to
his wife. who scuttled out and re-
turned with short piece Of hard
wood. This he thrust between his
teeth: he motIoned the surgeons to
proceed.
During the terrible work upon him
the sweat stood oat upon his fore
head. he bit deeply into the stick. but
he uttered never groan, nor did he
illnch. As lie well knew, the wound
was mortal: but he insisted upon sit.

back--hc died rs silently as he had
suffered. He was man and Indian to

UNDERGO CHANGES OF COLOR

their color In the same manner as

some experiments. For the purpose

ordinarily of light-gray color, but
upon being placed in a dish with a
dark lining they became almost
black. Without making any changea
In the character of the illumination
of the room, the fish were placed In
white porcelain dish and they i'm
medlately took on n much lighter
shade. That the color was under the
control Of the fish was demonstrated
by severing the spinal cord OF one Of
them which had already undergone
the change noted above in the nor
NAL manner, whereupon the posteriOr
part remained dark while the front
part underwent the anticipated
change. The light affecting the
fish's eyes was found to be responsible
for the changes of color, as these did
not occur after cutting the optic nerves
OF fishes whose changes had been
normal.
