mems of their race, were singing
and indulging in some primitive
dance steps, wholly oblivious to
the audience surrounding them.
They swayed gently side to side,
now and then half turning round,
and meanwhile chanting what
sounded like "Hi-yi-yi," repeated
again and again. Their voices were
good, and | discovered there was a
real melody to what they sang.
Some one said they sang because
they were approaching an enc
my's country. There they stood,
their splendid, almost naked forms
outlined against the glowing sun
set. AS they sang, shrill, boys
voices from the lower deck took up
the burden of the song in another
key, but with similar intervals. 1t
was a concert never to be forgot
ten, on a stage impossible of re-
production, and hung with curtains
of a celestial hue.
That night, having arrived at
Fort Belknap, the boats tied up,
side by side, with planks connect
ing the decks one with the other.
Never during our journey was so
much fear expressed by III pass
engers. The army group showed
greatest apprehension, for they
knew the Indians best. Few re-
tired before midnight, and some of
them sat up much later. My chill
dren were asleep in our cabin, and
! took the philosophical view that if
we were attacked the children
would be killed before they awak-
ened, and as for myself, nothing
would be gained by being scalped
in imagination, and then in reality.

By Martha Edgerton Plassmann

TT WAS my desire to have as
long a visit as possible at my
old home in Akron, Ohio, and
yet return the same season to Fort
Benton, which led me to take pass
age for myself and two children,
on the first boat that steamed UP to
the levee in 1881. This CHANGED to
be the "Far Vest" which was in
rather a dilapidated condition, due
to the gallant service it had rem
dered the government during, be-
fore, and after the Custer Mas
sacre.
Newer and better boats would ar

turned a member of the B. P. O.
Elks green with envy.
Old and young, all were in festal
attire. They laughed and chat
tered as though about to go on an
excursion, instead of leaving their
homeland forever. Nor was it the
homeland of any but the younger
generation. The Sioux had made
this region theirs, as we had made
it ours, by conquest. Driven from
Minnesota before the all-powerful
white race, they journeyed west,
where they wrested the land from
the weaker tribes. Their title to
this region was as good as ours ;
but they, like those they s%upplant-
ed, did not have sufficient strength
to maintain it. They made their
last effective stand at the time of
the battle of the Little Big Horn,
where the Custer Massacre was
staged.
AS Prince Macmillan observed,
there was little interest manifested
in this fast vanishing race, or pho
tographers would have been sent
to Fort Buford, to preserve, for flu
ture generations, pictures OF the
wholesale Punishment of a people.
AS the Indians went on board the
boats, they were assigned the front
of the lower decks, where they were
closely packed. The leading men,
however, were permitted to stay
on the rear of the second decks, and
to take their meals there. The rea-
son for granting this privilege to
the chiefs, may have arisen from a
desire to separate them from their
followers; but the passengers did
not enjoy their proximity.
1t is ssaid that there were but l8I
Indians taken to Standing Rock at
this time. This may be a true esti-
ate of the number, but it seemed
like there we're over a hundred on
our boat alone. There were not
more than thirteen soldiers allotted
for the protection of each group of
passengers-that is to say, about
forty for the three boats. | am not
certain that this is the correct num-
Der, but it is the n given by the
officers in our company. 1t seemed
much too small for the purpose de-
;ignated.
While the Indians were embark
ng great stores of provisions for

york took several hours, and it was

LESSENlNG FERTILIZER COST
Nitrogen From Air and Hydrogen
From Water Combine to Make
Cheap Ammonia.

Synthetic nitrogen fertilizers usinL
ammonia as principal ingredient,
may be made at prices to compete with
those using nitrogen from such natu-
raj sources as Chile saltpeter, Charles
o. Brown, consulting chemist of PrOvi
dence, told members of the American
Institute of Chemical Engineers. The
nitrogen may be derived from the air
by any one of several processes; the
hydrogen, which is the other cOmpO
nent of amOmnia, may be had from
water.
Economy in production of hydrogen
from water, which is a well-knOwn
method, may be effected, Mr.. Brown
said, through use of a special type Of
electric cell and through utilization of
electricity from hydrO-electric power
plants at other times than that of the
peak load. 1t is cheaper, he said, to
sell such power at a low rate than
to waste it, and the manufacture of
hydrogen offers a profitable use for it.
Another good source of hydrogen, in
the speakers opinion, is gases of coke
ovens. These are two chief sources
for what he termed "by-prOduct hy-
drOgen." Such secondary methods of
manufacture were the most suitable
nent of ammonia, may be had from
Mr.. Brown declared.
Mr.. Brown predicted that hydrogen
may be produced from coke ovens at
the cost of 20 cents per 1000 feet, and
from water at from % to So cents,
depending on the cost of the electricity
used. The production cost of anhy-
drOus ammonia, using "by-product hy-
drogen," he figured as from 3.S4 to
6.32 cents a pound, which would en-
able the production of commercial fer
tilizer at a lower cost than that now
made from natural sources Of ammonia
and nitrogen.

BYRON TRIED TO KEEP THIN
Starved Himself to Avoid corpuIency
but Had Periods Of EX-
cessiVe Eating.

In Beau Brummel and His Times"
one reads that Byron, fearful lest he
should become fat, starved himself
and then ate and drank to excess upon
nights of relaxation" The two pre-
ceding days, relates Thomas Moore,
Byron had taken nothing but a few
biscuits and had chewed maStic to
stop the craving of his stomach. One
is told also, that he wrote Don
Juan" on gin and water. Early in 1903
Byron, when only seventeen years Of
age, already experienced the discOm-
fort and Disagreement of corpulence.
He weighed himself regularly at the
old coffee mill, st. James street,
where for over $50 years eminent peO-
pie have gone to be weighed.
Byron was absent fnOn England be-
tween 1909 and 1911, he having left
for the continent July 8, 1909. May
10, 1910, he swan the HellespOnt from
Sestos to Abydes in emulation of
Leander, and, sailing for home July 3,
1911, the poet was met by his friend
Dallas at Reddishs hotel, st. James
street, on July IS, 1911, the day .On
which he was weighed for the last
time at the old coffee mill. His sue
cessor, the seventh Lord Byron, was
a regular customer at that popular

of passion.

is taken from scenes in the pictur,
where Miss Daniels, clad in a mott
