Light Eyed People. A correspondent states that in many parts of South America the Indians are suspicious and very dangerous. Some of them will trade with strangers, but can never be relied on, while others will be friendly and have a fairly good reputation in the matter of dealing with foreigners. But on one point all the tribes agree—they do not trust a man with eyes like a cat. In many places in South America a man with light eyes is never safe, and the Indians are apt to kill such a man on sight. If no present opportunity should offer itself of gratifying this prejudice, they will often hang around for days for the chance of disposing of the intruder. It is related that not long ago a French trader was sitting quietly among some FFoajira Indians, discussing business, when a party of the same tribe who had been filling up with mescal came along, and the ery was raised: “A man with eyes like a cat! Let us kill him now.”. There was a scramble and a daring rescue, for the trader’s compan- ions reached his side only just in time. ea ate A Sailor’s Prayer. Chicago Times-Herald. Gen. Edward E. Bryant, of Madison, tells a story that fits in at the present time very nicely. There was a pious man in the crew of an iron-clad. He had been told one evening that in all probability the next day would wit- ness a great battle. When he prayed that night he put special stress upon the plea that the vessel upon which himself and his comrades were serving might escape disaster, saying among other things: ‘0, Lord, shield us from the shells and other projectiles of the enemy, but if any shells and solid shot do come to our vessel, I pray Thee that they may be distributed as prize money is distributed, mostly among the offi- cers. The Donkey Club. A minister in a town not many thou- sand miles away surprised his audi- ence, a few Sundays ago, by making the following announcement from the pulpit: “The regular session of the Donkey Club will.be held as usual at the close of service. Members will line up outside the church door, make remarks and stare at the ladies who pass, as is their custom. Any member known to escort a lady to church and sit with her like a gentleman will be expelled from membership.” The ap- plication was to the point, the eTect was marvelous, it is said. = SEA The Mountain Chautauqua. The sixteenth annual session of this famous Chautauqua will be held Au- gust 4th to 26th. It is the most superb and sensible summer resort in America, 2,800 feet above sea level on the line of the picturesque B. & O.

The Seientific American Navy Sup- plement. The Scientific American, which has al- ways been identified itself very closely with the interests of the Navy, is to be congratulated on the extremely hand- some and valuable “Navy Supplement” which it has lately put before the pub- lic. We think that, if the average read- er had been asked beforehand what kind of a work he would prefer upon the Navy, he would have asked for just such an issue as this. Both the illustrations and the read- ing matter are of the straightforward explanatory kind which is necessary to put a techuical subject clearly before the lay mind. It was a happy thought to preface the work with a chapter up- on the classification of warships and in- sert a few diagrams by way of explana- tion of the subtle differences between cruisers, monitors and battleships; for after digesting this chapter one is pre- pared to follow intelligently the detail- ed descriptions of the various ships which make up the bulk of the issue. One of the best things about this num-- ber is that it does not nierely give an external illustration of each ship, but it takes the reader down below decks, and initiates him into the mysteries of the magazines, handling rooms, ammu- nition hoists and motive machinery. The sectional views of the interior of | the tuyrets of the monitors are excep- tionally fine, as are the large wood en- gravings of the engines of the “Massa- The last page of the num- ber contains complete tables of the new Navy, the auxiliary fleet and the various naval guns. A handsome col- ored map of Cuba and the West Indies is furnished with this issue. We extend our congratulations to our contempo- rary on the production of a work which is well conceived and admirably car- ried out.

It consists of a box made of wood, lined with reflecting mirrors, at the bottom of the box being a small copper boiler, covered with glass to re- tain the heat of the rays contracted by mirrors upon the boiler. In this con- trivance any sort of food may be quickly cooked. from Ticket Ee eo Knew It All.
