'vhlrh cannot bo equaled by any other
animate or Inanimate object upon the
earth's surface. It Is tlic queerest of
tlu > manj Antipodean wonders and
paradoxes ilnd for Hie want of n
bHter name lias been called the
"bulrush caterpillar" or "vegetable *
worm. " The native Tasi innlan name
for the oddity Is awuto-hotete.
The ahovcground portion of this veg '
table worm IN a fungus of the order
sphaerla , which grows to n height of
nix or eight Inches. When pulled up
by the root this fungus Is found to con
sist of n largo caterpillar , showing
head , segments and breathing holes
every detail of the grub being perfect
ly preserved. On examination the In
terior of the caterpllh r Is found to bo
composed of n "punhy" looking substance -
stance , really the root of the fungus ,
which has cremated every fiber of
what was once a living , breathing
creature's anatomy. In all the In
stances which Buckland records , the
sphnerln hnd made Its attack In the
fold of skin between the second and
third segnicnts of-the catctrpDI.ar.'and'

of the creature's body with a hard

the fungoid growths on blackberry

During the tenth century no woman
was allowed to appear at church with
out a veil. It had to bo a real veil , too ,
covering and concealing the features
In order that the prayers and medita
tions of the men might not bo disturb
ed by the contemplation of feminine
loveliness. There was a tradition that
the origin of the custom was In'an or
der from a great French saint When
a young man ho met a little girl with
features so noble and beautiful that ,
although he was many years her senior ,
ho Immediately fell In love with her
because she resembled a young lady
to whom he hnd been engaged years
before , but who died In his anna. The
man and the child separated , and he
became a priest. Many years later ho
saw her In the congregation Just as ho
was entering the pulpit to prench. and
the slight disturbed him to such an ex
tent that his sermon was a failure ,
nnd ho ordered all the women thence
forth to wear veils.
A Tooth.
A tooth Is a living structure. Inside
of each tooth Is a cavity flllcd with
pulp , which gives It life. Nerves nnd
blood vessels connect this pulp with
the general system nnd circulation of
the body. The Ivory surrounding the
pulp Is covered over by n surface of
enamel. Both Ivory and enamel are
harder than any other bones , because
they contain a greater quantity of boiio
earth. Kuainel on the tops of the teeth
Is one-sixteenth of an Inch thick. It
consists of little six sided prisms
placed side by side and held together
by nn exquisitely tine cement. The
pulp of the tooth becomes diseased nnd
toothache follows. Tartar Is n secre
tion made by three glands In the
mouth , full of small , living organisms ,
which assimilate matter In the saliva
and deposit it on the teeth In the shape
of phosphate of lime.
Living mummies exist In Tibet , near
Gyangt.-c , at a spot the name of which
In Ihiglish may be rendered as "the
Cave of Happy Misery. " There are
about twenty small caves In the solid
rook , each built up In front with stones
and mortar. They have padlocked
doors , tiny drains nnd small holes
Just sutllclent for a man to pass his
hand through. In thcso cells men are

ShMll We All Die 'of Thlritt
After telling of the gradual drying
up of the great lakes and rivers all
over tUs world In an article In Cham
bers' , Journal , J. T. Whltby continues.
' "Eveftwherto In our'owfa country , ni
ta others , water springs are giving oul
and water beds drying up , slowly per-
hapfl , but surely. The Increase of pop
ulation and the modern system of
drainage have of course a great deal
to answer for , but much of the droughl
hi undoubtedly caused by the rapid
destruction of timber on all sides , fet
trees not only attract rain clouds , but
preserve the moisture of the soil. While
It Is Impossible for puny man to con
trol the geological period through
which wo are passing nnd whose char
acteristics would be , according to
some , the gradual disappearance ol
water , It may bo Inquired whether II
would not be advisable to postpone
that disagreeable moment of a world
without water as far as possible by the
better preservation of our woods and
forests and the persistent replanting
of trees. "

Separate statehood linn lost the ma

mous action of the Oklahoma City con

formerly favored It now seems to b
to frame a constitution for Indian Ter
ritory and "lot Oklahoma come In un

Chief Porter of thu Creeks , In speak
ing of the position of the Indian * In
statehood matters , said :
"Wo preier n separate state from
Oklahoma. I am satisfied that 00 per
cent of the people of Indian Territory
feel Uio name way. Whether we get

The framing of a comprehensive
constitution for presentation to con
gress by n gathering In which the In
dians will take part it la believed ,
will tend to change the opinion at
Washington Unit the Indians are not
yet ready for statehood nnd nro not hi

Bent into the world without the shelter

has voiced this sentiment , as have all

one of the most necessary articles of
food , It has variety of other uses.
A great quantity of the starch used In
our laundries Is made from It , and aft
er the starch has all been separated
from the pulp what Is left Is used In
the manufacture of boxes. From the
stems and leaves of the plant n fluid

places bread , cake and puddings are
made of potato tlour.

Illnicer nnd Wind.
Making a ringer In the pitching of
quoits must have been a part of the
training which made the English long-
bowmcu BO terrible In siege that by
gauging the distance and taking the
lay of the wind they could send up a
deadly volley at the exact angle to
drop their arrows with destructive
force Into the heart of a beleaguered
city. Getting the lay of the wind Is
the first tiling to bo learned In the
noble art of pitching horseshoes. If
the wind bo contrary , the nicest cal
culations as to everything elsn vll ! bo
In vain. It Is only a supreme master
of the game , a dazzling genius In Its
mathematics , who can piny against
tlie wind that Is to say , one who , If
the wind be from the east can , by
throwing nt exactly that dcgreo of nn
oblique angle needed to make It meet

goal , may hope to have It carried to

Brnndlnic Criminal * .
Until the end of the eighteenth cen

portant English law courts was fur
nished with an Iron upright and collar
fixed In front of the person who was
being tried. If a conviction followed
and the Judge elected to Include a de
cree of branding In the sentence that
portion of It was carried out upon the
spot The criminal's hand was put
through the collar , which was effectual
ly screwed round the wrist nnd , the
necessary branding Irons having been
previously heated In the courthouse
flre , was forthwith marked upon the
thumb with the letters which the
Judge directed to be burned upon It
