The late Prof. Marsh loved to tell of an adventure which once befell him while a member of a party of fossil hunters in the Indian country, says Forest and Stream. The whole party realized that they were in a dangerous country, and all hands were constantly on the watch for enemies, and were careful not to wan­ der far from the command; or if two or three fossil gatherers did go off from the main body they took with them a number of soldiers to stand guard while they worked. One day Prof. Marsh was hard at work on his knees in the bottom of the narrow ravine digging away the soil from a bone which stuck out of the bank. He was entirely absorbed in his task and noticed1 nothing of what was going on about him until the brilliant sunlight was cut off by a dark shadow, and he looked up to see standing above him a grim Indian warrior holding his rifle ready. ' The professor's heart leaped into his throat. He forgot where he was. He strove to utter a propitiatory "How," but his dry lips refused to form the word, and he could only swallow, try­ ing to get rid of the lump in his throat. Suddenly the savage bent toward him and spoke: "Have 1 the honor of addressing Prof. Othnell Charles Marsh, the eminent paleontologist of Yale college?" he in­ quired. ' The revulsion of feeling was almost too much for the professor, who was now even less able to speak than he had been before. It developed that the Indian as a small boy had been sent east, Chris­ tianized, educated, taught the element of theology and1 sent back to the west to civiiize his tribe. TORZA.

Tho Treaeatoa* Waiter Pwitar* at Depths Show* hr as.. N« AeeMewfc. . A tsttrsfced -mass of iron hi a Pitts­ burgh scrapyard demonstrates the tre- (nendous pressure of water at a great depth, says the New York World. It was constructed for a diving bell for use in Lake Michigan. As originally constructed it was about six feet square and tapered slightly at both ends. The material was phosphor bronze, more than half an inch thick. Each plate was cast with a flange, and they were bolted together, the bolts being placed ss closely as was consistent with strength. The side plates were further strengthened by iron ribs an inch thick and two inches wide. In fact, the entire structure was strongly braced. The windows to be used aa outlooks by the divers were three inches square, fortified with iron bare and set with glass plates an inch thick. The weight of the bell was 23,- 000 pounds. When completed it was sent to Mil­ waukee and toVed out into the lake about 12 miles, where there was over 200 feet of water, and was sent down for a test. The manufacturer was so confident of the strength of the bell that he wanted to go down in it. He is glad now that he didn't. When the bell reached the depth of about 100 feet strong timbers attached to it came to the surface in a splintered condition. Suspecting an accident, the bell was hauled up and found to be crushed into A shapeless mass. The inch-thick plate glass bull's-eyes were shattered. The pressure that erushed this seemingly Invulnerable structure amounted to • total of 2,723,548 pounds, of 1,362 tons. A CRAB FAMINE. AM tJaexpecte* Scarcity Caaici Rlae of Three Hundred Per Ceat. iai'S'rlee. The prices of crabs have risen 300 per cent, in the east. During an ordinary season the price per dozen is in the neighborhood of 25 cents. This year crabs bring from 60 to 75 cents per dozen. From one dollar a barrel the price has soared to three dollars, four dollars, and even five dollars. As a usual thing New Yorkers consume lbout 25 barrels of crabs each day. For the past few months, sinee the severe cold weather of the winter, the leaders have been compelled to be contented with whatever they could get. Some days not more than four barrels would be received. The supply has varied from that amount to 15 barrels. The famine is due to the severe cold weather of last winter. It usually oc­ curs that after exceeding cold weather the supply of shell fish becomes scant. Five or six months' time is required to get the sources of supply back to their normal producing condition. The very cold weather of laBt winter bad the ef­ fect of driving the crabs to hibernate in the mud AID to seek deeper and warmer water. The hibernating crabs have not yet made their way out of the mud, and it will remain for the next change of tide to uncover them. Dur­ ing the winter months the crab supply is received from Norfolk, a few from Annapolis and from the lower points on the Chesapeake bay. In summer TTE Potomac river supplies the crabs used in the city. BLEACHING A NEGRO. Straa«e Storr from Vleaaa •( KCeot of Bleectrleitr V*** m. Black Skla. the Two years ago, according fo the Vi­ enna Fremdenblatt, a Viennese mer­ chant brought back from a business trip in Africa a Soudanese negro 19 years old, named Ibual Lacho. IHIML T-NNR the. wavs of Vi­ enna, beginning guage, astonishing the boulevards with elegant costumes and finally acquiring certain fashionable nervous disorders. These a famous neuropathic specialist subjected to electrical treatment. Strange to say, Ibual began to grow white, gradually passing through the coffee-and-milk stages, until he became in complexion Caucasian, though the shape of his face remained unchanged. Ibual's doctor thinks that the hlaclt pigment in the boy'S skin was gradually disintegrated and washed out, as it were, by the electrical current. The chief coloring matter, melanin, or pig- mentum nigrum, found in the eye, hair, and skin of the negro, contains iron and strongly reacts upon electrical applica­ tion. American physicians will hardly know how seriously to take this report. It is well known, however, that negroes are much more susceptible to the aciion of electricity than whit? men. There hove been several cases of the severe burning of negroes by the application of the X ray, usually harmless to white skins. It is now generally considered dangerom to X-ray a black man. Geraaaa Soldier®' Toothbrush Drill. The German military Medical Maga­ zine pleads in the interests of the com­ munity for a more careful supervision of the teeth of soldiers. A military doc­ tor has collected material from his own regiment, and finds that 1,000 men have among them 4,650 decayed teeth. Only 164 men were found with all their teeth intact. The use of the toothbrush is one of the duties of every soldier, Cut, as this officer maintains, the tooth­ brush is employed for any purpose ex­ cept to keep the teeth clean. He there­ fore suggests that superior officers should pay more attention to this point, and insist on the noncoms. seeing that the toothbrushes are used, for their destined purpose. He further pro­ poses that a certain number of young dentists who are serving their year should be supplied with instruments and look after their comrades' teeth.
