Cynical Caribbean Chief Telle of Ap­
propriating Supplies Left for His
Satanic Majesty.
No part c f the West Indies seems
to have escaped piratical visitations.
The Caribbee islands, inhabited
solely by redskins, who knew noth
iug of gold or bad habits, were fre­
quently called upon. Esqusmeling.
the chief of pirate historians, tells
of the Caribbee customs, notably
that of the widowed Caribbee wom­
an, who was obligated by custom to
carry choice foods to the grave of
her husband for 12 months and aft­
er that dig up the boues, scrape and
polish them and carry them on her
back for another year before she
could marry again. It was the popu­
lar belief, says Eaquemehng, that
“ the devil ate the food, “ but I my­
self, not of this opinion, have often­
times taken away these offerings
and eaten them instead of other
victuals. To this I was moved be­
cause I knew that the fruits used on
these occasions were the choicest and
ripest of all.” — New York Tribune.

“ In view of the fact that it is de­
sirable to conserve the species of
useful wild animals in the republic

one of the animals whose extermina­

ment of Peru, “ the hunting of these
animals in the territory of the re­
public, as well as the sale of skins
and articles made from them, ia pro­

An elderly lady was trying to
overcome the reluctance of her little
uiece, who was visiting her, to go to
bed. “ Being six years old,” she said,
“ you should go to bed at six. When
you are seven you will be able to
stay up till seven, and when you are
eight you can keep awake till eight.”
The child did a little mental
arithmetic and gazing at the
wrinkled old face and white hair of
her aunt, she said: “ Then 1 sup­
pose you never go to bed at alL” —

The officials of a penitentiary are
trying a new experiment by re­
painting the four cell-bloclu and al­
lowing each prisoner to select the
color he likes for his own cell, for
the psychological effect it has upon
the malefactor. The corridors of
the cellhouses are being painted a
light brown. The cells are being
painted in attractive tints o f fellow,
blue, brown, buff, etc. None of the
cells, the warden explained, is to
have somber settings, but are all to
be bright and cheerful. The penolo­
gist ia always an optimist.

A gigantic machine, with jawa
which open to take in timber or as­
sembled wood struct urea 30 feet ia
height and which can crush them
like egg shells when the jaws oloee
together again, has recently been
erected at the forest products lab­
oratory of the United States De­
partment of Agriculture at Madi­
son, Wis.
This machine ia to be used for
testing very large wooden columns.
It ia possible to exert a force o f a
million pounds with it, and it ia
built to crush a wooden post a foot
square. Its great range of testing'
speeds enables it to apply its tre­
mendous load with the fatiguing
slowness of a building settling on its
foundation timbers or with the
speed of a train dashing onto a'
wooden trestle. Architects and en­
gineers have very little data of the
kind which this machine will supply
to the scientists at the laboratory.
