Rocket Cars Coming i:w York.—Rocket cars are being buiit in Germany for demonstration at Daytona Iteacli, Fla., next winter, and the inventor hopes to get a speed of 4GO miles an hour. Tucson, Arlzo.—The Nnvnho Indians of the southwest have a strange and fantastic legend to account for the great stono tree trunks whose broken columns strew the desert in the region of the famous petrified forest. In Hie early days of the world, the Indians say, the sun did not ride tranquil and undlmmed through the sky as lie does now. At that time there was a black monster that was continually contesting ids supremacy. Iiis name was Yietso, and many were the battles that lie and the sun fought. Lived iii a Cave. This Yietso lived in a cave In the big mountains, and from thcro fie would sally fort!) and contend with Hie sun. Ho had long and strongly muscled arms and powerfully clawed hands. And his lionos were of stono. When he stood erect lie .could rencli the sun at any place in the sky. When lie was defeated in Ms fights lie would have to rest many days and often even many months before be was able to renew the attack, but lie was never vanquished. Also at times during those terrible bouts lie would get n finger, hand or limb so broken that he would have to discard it, but lie possessed the power to grow a new part in the place of the disabled one. Tlie bones of these disabled, discarded parts, which were of stone, lie threw out from Hie cave over a ridge from time to time as they got in ids way, and thus for years and ages the stone-wood accumulated. At that time a boy by tlie name of Koe lived in a grass-tied feather home with his mother, Siiemali, and his sister, Zonule. One winter jt got very cold. Finally, as they had no fuel, Kee went to tlie mountains for pitch wood. As tlie sun set before lie readied the forest lie slept out whore lie was. Then on the next day lie went into tlie mountains and found what lie supposed was pitcli wood, u quantity of which lie chopped. Bones Instead of Wood. When lie reached his homo it was growing dark tlie second night. So lie slept outdoors in front of his liogan, where Zonnie found him still sleeping when she came home in tlie morning. She .also noticed tho wood, just as their grandmother came out of the bouse. And instead of pitch wood he had brought bor.es of Yietso; whereupon his grandmother scolded him and told him to throw tlie bones away. In time Kee grew <0 be ft great ■man. Time and again lie visited tlie mountain where lie had obtained tlie bone-wood, and there lie prayed to ins god and made sacrifice. Then one day lie discovered tlie cave where Hie monster lived, and at tlie rising of tlie sun on the following morning ho told him, through prayer, of tlie beast’s abode. Just as lie was telling tlie sun tlie news lie saw tlie great black tiling leaping above Hie mountains to tlie attack. Quickly Kee called tlie men of his tribe together and they all prayed for tlie powers of good to aid tlie sun in this battle against darkness. Right against Hie face of the, sun leaped the monster. It stretched its fierce arms and clawing hands to ward tlie sun’s rim. Then tlie battle began in earnest. The sun attacked him with his millions and millions of rays, and, aided by tlie prayers of Hie tlion good people of earll’i, lie Anally overcame it. Ill this battle of all battles tlie sun’s rays pierced- Yietso’s body, and his blood, on reaching tlie earth, was congealed in lava flows. Finally lie fell back to tho earth dead, and Hie sun mounted triumphantly in tlie heavens, as lie spread Ids invigorat ing and cheering light over land atul sea. And Hie I’latenu region is still incredibly covered with its bones, cnllod by tlie Navalios Yletsobitsln, tlie bones of Yietso. Trappers-Dead Fifty Years Found in Cave Sauit Ste.

Sharpness of Shark’s ■Teeth Accounted For The proverbial sharpness of a ser pent’s tooth is declared to be wrong; it should have been n shark’s tooth.’ , Not only is (lie shark’s asserted to be tlie sharpest tootli in the world, it appears also to lie both tlie sharp est and the hardest of all animal sub stances. One enn even use the cutting sur face of a shark’s tooth, says O. \V. Barrett of tlie Department of Agricul ture of Porto Hico, to scratch glass as glaziers scratch it with a diamond. Shark’s teeth are now collected, says Mr. Barrett in describing In tlie , Scientific Monthly of New York city, (lie growing commercial Importance of I lie shark-fishing industry, and are used for watch fobs and other jewelry, ;for which purpose their extreme hard ness Is declared to piake | tlieiq espe cially suitable.

Evil Reputation of Sargasso Sea Myth Tlie Sargasso sea is a region of the Atlantic ocean lying o(T tlie American coast about tlie latitude of Florida, 'it is composed of floating masses of .brown seaweed, characterized by numerous smaH berry-like •bladders. Tills dense gulf weed <Sargnssumbac- rfferum) 1s tlie home of many small marine animals, crabs, prawns, eic. 'It Is supposed that tlie weed grows on the American coast, is torn own.v by the waves and washed by (ho cur rents round the North Atlantic ocean into tlie comparatively still waters where it floats in accumulated masses. Tlie older masses of weed slowly lose their power to float and (lion sink and perish. Columbus was becalmed in the Sargasso sen, and tliis made bis men despair of over reaching land For n long time tliis son had an un enviable reputation, as’it was thought that the slap which v.as forced into it was (loomed. Keenil scientific ex peditions have demonstrated that ships need have little fear of til'.’, tmiscGs of weed. Vindication A dignified-looking man stopped at a news-stand and purchased two very conservative newspapers, and nn ex tremely liberal literary monthly. He paid for them, but after ft mo ment’s hesitation asked 111 addition for a certain monthly bearing n de cidedly zippy title. ITe must have sensed something of Hie inconsistency of his purchase, and felt that some kind of explanation was due, even to so unliterary a fel low as tlie particular news dealer In question: “Dr—I hope,” he said, ns lie laid down tlie necessary sum for tlie mag azine, "that you don’t think I read tliis paper.

As Englishman Sees Oar, American Humor In bis book of stories and anecdotes, “Tell Me Another,” Lord Aberdeen, n former governor general of Canada, devotes a diopter to “Samples of American Humor.” “It is well recognized that tlie typi cal humor of America is usually of the dry quality,” ho says, disavowing any connection between ids assertion and a certain amendment to tlie Con stitution. As n shining example of American dry humor, he offers tliis: A stranger who happened to be in one of the New England states, being doubtful about his exact whereabouts, aeked some one whom lie met; 1 “Can you te|l me how far .Jt .is to Hartford?.". .‘■‘Well, the way you are now going it’s about 24,000 miles; but it you turn around and go tlie oilier wny^tt's about (i mile and n ‘ half,” wgg tho , answer. Another characteristic of American . humor, declares Lord Aberdeen, is a Sort of subtlety, which suggests an in ference, not always too obvious, but . which creates amusement even before for without analysis.
