DENVER WATCHMAKER TO OWEUL WITH NATURE FAR FROM CROWDS. Will Travel la a Hovel Wagow Bidden Beoreta Will Be Fthomed Sock the Eaatera Mtyaties Have Learned est Tibet IXsy HeUrhte. Elisha Lane of Denver has jnst started out on ao expedition so novel that the paltry quest of Diogenes for an honest man is, child's play compared with it Mr. Lane's mission is "to wrest from nature ber secrets," and he philosophic ally proposes to go about this task by "patting himself in harmony with na ture." , . ... . To this end he has had built house wagon in which he will travel from Denver clear through to southern Cali fornia, halting by the way wherever the lisp of leaves, the brawl of mountain streams or the soughing of winds in primeval forests seems to be telling the secret of which he longs to beooine pos- This latest seeker after troth will not, however, travel alone. He will be ao oompanied by bis wife and three little children, aged S years, 8 years and 10 months, respectively. The itinerant home far this family cost $750, and it will be drawn by two horses. It is IS feet long, 6 feet wide and feet high, and is made of pine boards ti inches wide and three-quarters of an inch thick, placed vertically. Under the driver's seat is a tool box, the space beneath the body of the wagon ia to be used for storing household goods, and at the rear is feed box for the horses. The entrance ia at the rear through a door of polished oak with glass panels, and the interior is quite in keeping with this handsome entrance. The floor is handsomely carpeted, the portieres are hong on bronze rods, the walls and ceiling are artistically pa pered and the two windows, SO by 24 inches each, are provided with dainty lace enrtaina. : .f i : Across the front end of the wagon an oak sest runs which, becomes the sup port for the head of a bed, which is re leased by a spring from its position in the wall. A bed similarly devised is at the left of the door. By careful economy in space this room also contains tiny chiffonier, a plate glass mirror, a wash stand, a fold ing writing table with drawers and pigeonholes, and a stove, the ashes of which will be dropped to the ground through a sort of funnel. Every detail of this oonveysnos was planned by Mr. Lane himself, who is a man of about 31 years and a watchmak er by trade. Ha waa born in Bowling Green, Ky. Be married Hiss Carrie MacFarland of Leavenworth; Kan., and lived in Esnsaa City until July last, when he removed to Denver. In appear ance Lane bears a striking resemblance to Schlatter. He is entirely self educat ed, not to say uneducated, for by i his own confession only two years ago be was unable to read Shakespeare with any appreciation of his meaning. -. The sum total of his philosophy as ex pressed by him is: "I claim that there is some secret force, some hidden power in nature, which men have not discov ered. A few men have cauRht faint gleams of this occult force, and thereby they have become wise beyond their generation. Lather was one of these men and Schlatter is another. To gain this knowledge a man must follow na ture, and it ia for that reason that I al low my hair and beard to grow. When I reach the mountains, I shall hope to touch that higher state which haa en abled the adepts of India in Tibet to ac quire their mystic power." In order to sustain the material man on the way to the wellsprings ot "Bid den Truth," Mr. Lane will halt from time to time in mining camps and in small towns, and take heed of time by mending watches and selling eyeglasses.

Ex-President Harrison's brother-in-law, Judge J. N. Scott ot Port Towns bend, Wah., st a social gathering ths other evening discovered very unexpect edly that he was about to become his own father. The subject of General Har rison's spproscbiug wedding waa being discussed with a party of friends when some one asked Judge Scott if that would not somewhat complicate and, tansle up the limbs on the lamiiy tree. For a moment the question somewhat stunned the gentleman, and then the party commenced to try to solve the mstrimoulal problem, and tne aeeper they went into the subject ths mors mystified they became, and finally it was given up as an unfathomable tangle. Several of ths notes made and calcula tions formed were preserved and given to the presaL Of the existing relationship Judge Scott is fully informed. It waa in trying to locate the limb of his own fsmily tree after the wedding shall have taken plaos that he became confused. After several hours of deep mental exercise be arrived attheso conclusions: "I am now Gen eral Harrison's brother-in-law, and Mrs. Dimmick, his prospective bride, is my niece. After they are married my brother-in-law will become my nephew, and my niece, consequently, will become my sister-in-law. Then, of course, I will become my own brother-in-law, and also, my niece's brother-in-law. Now," slowly continued the philosophical rea soner, delving into the future a little deeper, "if this contemplsted union should be productive of a claimant for the ancestral hat, he will be my nephew, and also my granduephew. I will be his uncle and his grandunole. Whew," ejaculated the judge, as hs wiped the perspiration from his brow, "that will complicate matters. Just see here. Now, in order to be uncle and grandunole to one and the same person, it must neces sarily follow that I am my own father, and--oh, hang the whole thing any how, I am not going to rack my brain over other people's troubles," and up jumped the judge, somewhat exasper ated. The logical result of the union wss quite astonishing; the judge and the guests sat down to figure it out again, arriving at the same conclusion. Then some one ascertained that General Har rison would become his own nephew and a cousin of his own son, should one be born, and who will, also, be second cousin to his own brother and his fa ther's nephew. At this point the mental exercise subsided. Judge Scott agreeing to furnish a palatable beverage if his guests would keep inviolate the secret Bat it leaked out, and has been given to the press. St Louis Globs-Democrat PREHISTORIC INDIANS. Tnmm la Florida. Early in December Frank Hamilton Cashing of the bureau of American eth nology of the Smithsonian institution; Wells M. Sawyer, an artist and photog rapher of the art department of the United States geological survey, and Carl F. W. Bergman, museum expert of tbe United States National museum, completed arrangements to visit Flori da, with the intention of making an in vestigation of the Shell keys snd ancient reef settlements of Charlotte harbor, and the very interesting mounds at Na ples, sbout 150 miles sooth of Tampa. A camp was established at mniey's Hammock, or Bope Grove, a few miles north of the Anclote river, where, under tbe direction of Mr. Sawyer, a number of interesting discoveries were made. In tbe mounds tbe burials were nu merous, and although some hundreds of such burials were encountered the re mains were so affected by sge as to ren der it. almost impassible to preserve them. By very careful treatment large collection of skulls snd other portions of skeletons, interesting for study, were secured. Tbe skulls are in msny respects remarkable, possessing features thst are apparently nnosaaL This is especially the case in reference to the great nar rowness of tbe temporal regions,' the massive development of the jawa and the prominence of the brows. A study of this collection will probably definite ly decide to what group of Indiana these people were allied. All of the remains are prehistoric. The find is necessarily large on account of their peculiar burial customs. A re markably representative collection of all of their various arts of life in pottery, stone and bone implements and orna ments wss found. . IN A SMALL BOAT.

Of all pioturesqus sights a Malay pio lloisone of ths prettiest With ths first lawn of morning the stsrt is mads. Nothing ss yet csn be seen distinctly. A few saffron arrows of light are thrown np in ths eastern hotison, and distant mountain heads begin to glow. Simul taneously stir arises in the Tillage, tnd gsping villagers of all sges begin to Issue out from their graceful atap houses and make toward the place of rendes vous. By the time the party baa gather sd, some SO minutes, the horisou seems lo explode, wide rush Of orange light spreads near and far, and 'the great hot run comes up, panting. Then follows the most delicious bonr of the day. A hundred hues of green are brought out into shining relief, every dewy lesf be comes a prism in which rainbows float The jangle lifs awakens into its morn ing psalm, brilliant birds twitter and coo together seeking the early bug, gor geous butterflies come forth to dry their spangled wings on leafy shrubs, while far in ths joiigle often the hoarse, gut- trtral, fearsome growl of the Malayan tiger sounds bass to the chorus. The picnickers are now under wsy. Before them is a march of six or seven miles through virgin jangle and open spaces of country. That will consume some two or three hoars. Some of the females are mounted upon elephants if there are any well to do families in ths village. They sit very gracefully on their lofty mounts and enjoy the ride, if we may judge from their faces and frequent peals of laughter. Host of ths party is afoot They are in holiday cos tume. A finely woven sarong of cotton or silk forms the lower garment of men and women alike. Ths sarong is mauy bued and tba most graceful of gar ments. It consists of a piece of material of suitable length sewed together at the side, both ends being open. The upper end, in wearing, is tucked neatly and tightly together with the hand and held securely around the waist by a belt Sometimes these krosaugs, or belts, are richly jeweled and worth as much as 8,000 silver dollars. Bat we shall not see that sort st a picnic. The upper garment of men and women alike is a cloth or cotton jacket (kabaia). In stead of buttons the women use for fas tenings a number of gold or silver brooches. The men largely affect brass buttons. Over this jacket the females wsar another sarong, which is mads to meet over the head, and serves the damsel as shade, and when she pleases as a veil. The feet ot all srs protected by kind of wooden sandal. All these garments are loose, are a poem for harmony of colors, and there is no fold thst does violence to beauty and grace. Tbis is s poor enough picture of our picnic party, or 70 or 100 Malay men, women, boys and girls passing, joking and laughing along their pleas ore wsy. The braves carry some spears and parangs, in case a tiger or leopard molest The fair bear along little rice and curry spice. The bulk of provisions they trust Tohan Allah to provide at the picnio ground. "How very nice," I bear the gentle lady reader say. "Why, preparation of meats and pies and con fections, you know, ia such a bother." Our outing party now feel that they have gone far enough and they may bait, no matter just where for every where is lovely so long as they are in the vicinity of a mountain and its water pools. So a pool is chosen as one likely to contain in its black depths a suf ficiency of good, fst fish. The men st once prepare to dynamite this pool, or else throw ths fish paralyzing tuba root into the water. Then 20 men leap into the pool, while a number of women are stationed at the shallow and lower end to catch the escaping finny tribe. Ab, no big fish are caught t Tbey must be lying dead or benumbed at the bottom of the pool And now the boldest swim mers dive in and far down. They search the bottom, tbey even thrust their hands into the water filled caves of the rocky sides. One by one tbe divers come pant ing up. Some of them grasp in each hand a great, shining, silvery fish. What luck! Two fish at a time, each 10 or IS pounders. Then the stolid Malay relaxes. be shouts, he praises Allah, snd the whole camp becomes a scene ot rejoic ing, as the spoil is flnng alive into the pot of already boiling water, or squirms grilling, roasting, Trying, on ground fires kindled by boys and girls ss tbe prey wss being taken. Bice is slso pre pared, and before long tbe whole party is seated around tbe green banquet board. enjoying fish as you like it and curry and rice such as only the Malay house wife can concoct Tbe joysome meal finished, tbe party betakes itself to smok ing, chewing betel and telling stories, under all of which influences it is not surprising thst the next scene is a gen eral siesta, which lasts till snout o'olock, when the old man of the party wisely observes it is getting Iste snd it is tims to be starting back.
