Frenchman Cain Idea for Invention
From biater-ln-Law.
Iondon A dainty woman' hat of
the fashionable I'ierrot shape has led
to the invention of an ingenious mill
tary filter which may save live on ac
tlve s-rvice. The idea was first sug
gested to Dr. Frederick Alexander,
tho medical officer of health for Pop
lar, who has patented this improved
apparatua for straining water, by the
hat hi sister-in-law wore.
Four or five cone-shaped bags like
Pierrot huts are suspended upside
down, one aoove the other, in an
easily portable pyradmiilal frame
made of four uprights of wood or met
al in Dr. Alexander's invention.
Muddy or dirty water, which is fre
quently the only supply available to
troops on active service, ran then be
poured into the topmost hat with th
certain knowledge that by tho time it
has trickled through all the straining
bags it will bo as clear as crystal.
"The idea of these cone-Bhajied
bags, said Dr. Alexander, laughing
ly, "was given to me by my sister-in
law's Pierrot hat after I had been
reading a hook on military require
ments. It is quite simple.
WEATHER BAD FOR GRAIN.
Corn and Wheat States Suffer, But
Cotton I Benefitted.
Washington, I). C. Unpromising
weather in the corn and wheat grow
ing states and lavoruMe conditions in
the cotton belt prevailed throughout
October, arrording to the National
monthly bureau bulletin. It says:
"In the prinripal corn and wheat
growing (winter) states, there was a
great excess of cloudy weather, whjch
delayed fall seeding to some extent
and interfered somewhat with the
curing and gathering of the corn crop
especially in portions of the Ohio val
ley. No killing frosts occurred until
too late to cause any material damage
and the generally warm weather was
favorable for the growth of fall pas
turage and wheat.
"Over the spring wheat section the
weather was partly cloudy and too wet
at time for outdoor work. No severe
frosts were general until toward the
latter part of the month."
Wneat Holder Let Go.

remarkable offer from the miller for
5.000. 000 bushel. It also was an
nounced that within the last week he
had disposed of 4,000,000 bushels at

that he intended to leave with the cor

has carried on for many year.
The statement follows:
"The Carnegie corporation of New

1911. The purposes of the corpora

election has reached a total of lyi.941.
Of these 10H.736 are men and 83,205

Owing to the unprecedented regis

A STRING of little black beads,
linked together with gold,
brought to Indianapolis a few
days ago Is regarded by anti
quarians of the far west as
substantial evidence in support of the
theory that the American Indians are
of old world descent.
The beads were a present to Mr
' Claire Bell. 428 North Alabama street,
from her mother, Mrs. B. I. Canfleld,
who Is a teacher in the Sherman in
stitute, a school for Indian children
at Riverside, Cal., and they are the
.work of the girls in the school.
i ue ueaus are peueis uuoui iue size
of a pea and jet black. They are hard
and metallic to the touch, but are as
light as paper. The wonderful pe
culiarity about them is that they have
a strong, agreeable odor of roses, an
odor that never will leave them, and It
is this peculiarity that makes them of
such Interest to antiquarians.
For. according to Mrs. Canfleld, who
received her Information from a pa
per published by a California anti
quarian who became absorbed in the
study of the beads not this particular
' string, but others like them made by
the Indian girls of the southwest
beads remarkably similar to these
have been found in the pyramids of
Egypt and In temples of oriental an
' tlqulty. Those beads. In spite of the
! fact that they had been burled for
:: scores of centuries, still retained a
strong, delicate scent of roses.
, A comparison of these beads with
; rare strings of beads in the possession
of Indians of the southwest, who are
. supposed to have migrated north from
the Inca settlements in Peru, showed
? them to be identical. As the beads
I' were wholly unlike anything else of
I known existence, the conclusion was
t reached that tbe ancestors of the In
! dians must have been either the mak-
era of the bead found In the pyra
mid or their ancestors.
White men were deeply puzzled
over the composition of the beads,
and It was supposed that the manufac
ture of them must be one of the lost
arts. But when the Indians discov
ered the Interest that had been
aroused In their relics, they found
that the method of making them had
been transmitted through the tribe by
tradition. They et to work, accord
ingly, and duplicated the pellets, to
the astonishment of the white men.
The secret of the Indians did not
remain exclusively tribal for very
long, however, since a great demand
arose at once for the rose-scented
beads. The art was taught to a large
number of the Indians, and from them
It leaked out, until now there Is no
longer a mystery about their manu
facture.. Hut the novelty of It is Just as Inter
esting as the mystery. The secret of
the scent of roses Is that the beads
are actually made of rose petals.
"The Indian girls at our school hold
parties to mnke the beads," said Mrs.
Canfleld, "much on the order of the
fudge parties of their white sisters, or
more like the old-fashioned spinning
or quilting parties.
"They gather bushels and bushels of
rose plants, which grow, as you know,
In profuse abundance In California.
They grind these petals up very fine,
running them through a grinder seven
time (even times you mustn't say
forty-nine time, for there 1 a mystic
significance to them In the expression
'seven times seven' which Is lost In
the prosalo 'forty-nine,' and this mys
ticism, they believe, has an Important
part In the result of their labors.
"When the petals are properly
ground they are put Into Iron pans
and tincture of Iron Is poured over
them. That ends the first party, for
It Is necessary to let the mixture set
for several days, so that the tincture
will eat Into the Iron of the pan and
color the composition black. Every
time one of the girls passes a pan dur
ing this period of 'ripening' she stirs
the mlxtura with her hands, so that It
will have the proper color and con
sistency all the way through.
"After the mixture has 'ripened' the
girls gather again to make it Into
beads. It Is a black, viscous sub
stance, thick enough to remain in any
shape Into which it may be rolled. The
moisture In It has been supplied by
the juice of the rose petals, which
runs out In surprising quantity during
the process of grinding, and by the
tincture of Iron.
"The girls take small quantities of
this viscous substance from the pan
and roll them Into pellets such as you
see in this string. They are very deft
at the work and very painstaking, not
stopping until the pellet 1 perfectly
round.
"These pellets are then pierced
with hatpins, and are strung on the
pins to dry. When a big beadmaklng
party is given at our school there 1 a
hatpin famine In Riverside, for the
girl buy up all they can find at the
itores.
"Then the Indian maidens stretch
strings across their bedrooms and
from these strings they suspend the
hatpins to allow the beads to dry. The
process of drying consume several
days, and during this time the girls
very Jealously avoid raising dust la
their queerly decorated rooms.
"When the beads are dry they are
taken oft the hatpins and the little
rough spots caused by piercing them
are carefully polished off. You have
then a neatly-pierced, black, perma
nently rose-scented bead ready for
the Jeweler."
Mrs. Canfleld has been In the gov
ernment service for 17 year as a
teacher of Indlaas, first In the reser
vation schools and finally in pictur
esque Riverside, and she ha an abun
dance of first-hand Information of In
dian life and character that Is highly
Interesting.
Learn -Whit Man's Patty Graft.
One of her regret 1 that the In
dian artisan, engaged In the making
of blanket, basket and other beauti
ful curios, is learning the vice of the
white man, o that now Inferior ar
ticle are being made and sold o ex
tensively that only an expert Is free
from the danger of being swindled.
Their education at the Sherman In
stitute consists of the common school
education. Including the eighth grade,
and In addition they r given Indus
trial training. Cpon graduating from
the school the Indians are at liberty to
do as they please. Some of them go
to tbe higher institutions of learning,
such as the Carlisle school, and some,
whose parents can afford It, enter
other large American colleges.
Others go back to their reserva
tions, where they become teachers In
the reservation schools or enter into
the active life of the tribe, where their
superior education soon mnkes them
leaders. Still others, attracted by
their summer work, hire themselves
out as skilled servants to the Cali
fornians. A few go to the cities and become a
rart of the great active world of
America, putting themselves upon an
equal footing and In competition with
white men in their chosen trades or
professions. Many of these Indians
have more than made good In tbe bat
tle of the big city.
Romances begun at the school fre
quently culminate In marriage after
graduation, many a stalwart Hiawatha
having proudly claimed a bashful Mla
nehaha. Occasionally an Indian girl
marries a white man, or an Indian
man a white girl, but, according to
Mr. Canfleld, such cases are rare In
California. Mrs. Canfleld believe the
government Is doing a great work at
Riverside and at similar Institutions.
