HUNTS HUMAN SKULLS
Peculiar Hobby Which Occupies
Leisure Time of a Texan.
Has Visited Many Lands nnd Coun
tries In Sesrch of the Odd Cnrloa
and He Has an Interest
ing Collection.
The following advertisement appeared
in the newspaper! of St. Joseph, Mo., re
cently:
"Wanted—Human skulls! must be lx
good condition; will pay liberally for
fine epeclmene. Apply Hotel M. Charles
W. Jenkins."
Jenkins was a temporary resident of
St Joseph, where he has considerable
realty interests, but his real home le in
Corpus Chrlstl, Tex. He has probably
the oddest fad of any collector of eurlos
who has ever been a resident of that city.
Mr. Jenkins Is very anxious to Increase
bis collection of skulls, and In the pos
session of medical students, physicians
and collages of 8t. Joseph are specimens
taken from various burying grounds
that have been unearthed In the ex
cavations for buildings on sites that
hundreds of yeare ago were repositories
tor the dead of the ancient red man.
"I have now in my possession 34»
perfect epeclmene of human skulls," eaya
Mr. Jenkins. "They represent the hu
man of many ages, and I find them an
Interesting study indeed. How did I
come to Indulge in such a 6trange fad?
Well, In my youth I made a study of
anatomy, and became intensely Inter
ested In the construction of the human
frame. I gradually acquired a taste for
this form of bric-a-brac.
"I got my real start as a collector of
skulls In 1887. During excavations in
St. Joseph on property In the possession
of my father several specimens of an
ancient race wore exhumed, and
straightway found a resting place upon
a shelf In a cabinet in my home. I vis
ited the former home of the mound
builder In Colorado and New Mexico,
whore other specimens of the ancient
Inhabitants wars discovered. They air
ier materially from the skulls found In
St. Joseph. Then I visited the holy land
in search of specimens. From there I
drifted to the lands of the Ptolemies of
Egypt. Here some valuable acquisi
tions were made. I have tramped over
the Pampas of South America, the moun
tains of Peru and Chill, and even pene
trated Into the wildernesses of the Ama
zon. where, in deposits of earth and
■tone, I have brought to light perfect
specimens of human skulls, represent
ing periods which history does not
chronicle.
"In my experiments I have found that
some skulls take on a very beautiful
polish, and I must say that, under the
hand of a skilled artisan, they are made
magnificent These specimens occupy a
cabinet by themselves. I have a number
of skulls taken from the wreck of the
Galveston storm. I also have specimens
from other disasters on this and other
continents. Five victims of the Mont
Pelee disaster are represented In my
collection. This business of collecting
skulls is a great aid in the study and re
tention of Important facts In history. I
have In my possession the skulls of men
at times prominent in the history of
this nation. How I came to have them
I do not care to say. However, money
; (z a means of gratifying the tastes of
anyone who cares to make a collection
of this kind. Because I have acquired a
liking for this work, I spend much time
during the winter months wandering
about between rows of grinning heads,
phlllsophlzing, after the fashion, of the
grave digger In Hamlet, upon the brev
ity of human life."
MSUICIDE CLUB” FLOURISHES.
toms Women of Boise, Naho, Have
Organisation and Cboosa
Victims by Lot.
• Boise, Idaho, has a fully organised
suicide club. That it is ready for busi
ness and has already transacted con
siderable business is shown by the fact
that at least three of Its members have
"shuffled off” by the suicide route with
in a period of as many months,
rm. - iYia oTlat^npp of thi nrcsjv
—
liation became known to the police In
an Investigation Into the death qf Grace
\ Aehton, its latest victim. She died from
' - Worphine poisoning on a third attempt
I at suicide, both of her previous attempts
having been frustrated through season
able discovery by friende.
Another young woman friend of Miss
Ashton attempted suicide by taking poi
i son, but recovered, and It was through
her’ that the existence of the club was
made known. The club is regularly or
ganised with a strong msmbership—nil
young women—and holds meetings at
regular Intervals. It transpires that at
each meeting a new victim is chosen by
lot, who is to "pass off” before the time
for the next meeting by one of the usual
methods adopted In such cases, the par
1 ticular mode being optional with the can
didate.
Philippine poultion* Hot Wanted.
Positions in the Philippines seem to
go begging. Several months ago Col.
i Edwards, chief of the insular bureau,
_ called upon the civil service commis
sion to certify candidates for 150
teachers’ positions paying from $2,000
to $900 pen annum. There were few
applicants, fewer took the examina
tion, and only 42 were found eligible
for appointiint Another examina
tion will, therefore, be held early in
October. TheAinsular bureau will not
permit women to take the examina
tion for theseApositions, and the du
ties or pay of Pedagogue do not seem
to appeal to tl» young men of the
country, |

BARBERS’ SHOP DISEASES.
Patrons Advised to Have Their Owa
Brush and Comb—Carbolic Acid
for the Razor.
The transference to his cus
tomers, by means of his hands and
instruments, of many parasit
ic skin diseases has long been rec
ognized as one of the unnecessary
accomplishments of the necessary
barber. Among these affection*,
say* American Medicine, are
sycosis, impetigo, seborrheic alo
pecia apd furunculosis that is
more or less chronic in type. Dr.
Graham Chambers states that
during the past five years impeti
go circinati has been very prev
alent in Toronto, scarcely a month
passing without an outbreak of
from two to thirty cases, gener
ally traceable to a common
source. The barber shop is so com
monly the source that he desig
nates the disease as “barbers’ im
petigo.” Quite recently Dr. W
A. Hardaway has called attention
to a point which be believes, and
we think rightly, has been but lit
tle realized by the medical profes
sion. That is the frequency with
which carbuncles are acquired in
barber shops. He has seen many
cases of carbuncle in which the
evidence of this means of trans
mission was to him indisputable.
The relative importance of this se
rious affection as compared with
the other diseases mentioned
needs scarcely to be impressed.
For the prevention of contagion
in barber shops, Hardaway be
lieves that we will be forced to
rely upon am educated public
opinion rather than upon compul
sory laws directed against the
barber. He recommends that
each patron of a barber shop pro*
vide himself with a box, contain
ing his own brush and comb, a
small package of absorbent cot
ton and a five per cent, carbolic
acid solution. The barber will
then wipe his shears or clippers
with the solution, and use the pa
tron’s comb and brush. For the
man who shaves his own soap, cup
and brush are necessities. These
suggestions are sensible. To car
ry them out properly means some
inconvenience, but it is worth
while, especially to the aged and
debilitated, or to those suffering
from diabetes or similar diathe
sis. Physicians atending such pa
tients should extend them a warn
ing in this retfard.
ANCIENT DOLL-LIKE IDOLS.
Were Found Imbedded in Walls ol
Ancient Cliff Dwellings Near
Santa Fe.
While exploring the Puye and
Shufinne cliff dwellings near San
ta Fe recently Dr. R. W. Scheusa
ler discovered some antiques of
a kind not previously catalogued
by students of that region. No
ticing upon the wall of an ancient
dwelling some spots of an unu
sual color, he dug into the soft
stone with his pocketknife and
discovered a hole 5 inches in diam
eter and 12 inches deep, partly
filled with mud. Inside was im
bedded a stick on which was
mounted a doll’s head. In the
same hole was a small, highly po)
ished turquoise.
Dr. Schuessler investigated fur
ther. He found three more of the
sealed openings, each of them
containing a doll and a turquoise.
One of the holes contained a piece
of petrified resin, in which tooth
marks indicated that it had been
used as the chewing gum of the
day. The probability is that the
doll heads were idols, but the sig
nificance of burying them in the
mesa walls and the presence of
fce turquoise are not explained.
In Sunny Florida.
Never shall I forget, writes
Julia Daniels Moseley, in the
Four-Track News, the magic oi a
certain garden in the south, in
sunny Florida. . . . The stars
down there have a way of seem
ing to hang out of the sky, like a
jewel placed high in the setting.
The moon was full and the magic
of her yellow beauty bewitched
everything, enhancing the very
shadows. There is an abandon
about that spot that takes away
the stiffness so often found in
large, formal grounds, and, as you
walk on and on, there seems to be
no end to it, but it is as though all
the world was a sumptuous gar
den; and when you lift your eyes
to the matchless night blues, H
seems as if the very dome of Hear
en had opened to charm yow
i Thron.

MONEY IN MAINE SKUNKS
tkejr Are Worth M Mach aa All the
Deer Killed In That State
In n Season.
It will no doubt surprise many peo»
pie who learn that the despised skunk
Ls worth twice as much to Maine as ls
the much-admired honey bee, but such
is the fact; and, counting things at
their actual worth, the skunk ls wortn
about as much as all the deer killed in
Maine in a season, says the Philadel
phia Record. The skunk is valuable
both for his fur and for the oil that ls
in him, and both the oil and the fur
are in ever-increasing demand.
Fashions In furs regulates the price
of skunk skins. Four years ago the
coat of a dark skunk was worth $2.50
: to three dollars, and the demand ex
| ceeded the supply. Since then, the
| muskrat has come into favor, and the
' price of skunk skins has fallen to about
two dollars for the best. When, how
ever, there are a dozen fat skunks to
be had on every acre of meadow land,
when a hardwood club is the only
weapon needed for killing them, and
when every fat skunk contains at
least a quart of oil, worth five dollars
a gallon at wholesale, there ls mon^i
in the business.
Most of the skunk pelts are shipped
to a Philadelphia firm, where they are
made up into furs for export to
France and Germany, in whcih coun
tries they pass as monkey skins. It is
estimated that Maine’s revenue from
skunks amounts to $150,000 or $175,000
annually, which is double the sum de
rived from all the honey bees in the
state, and certainly more than all the
8,000 deer shot are worth to the men
who kill them. From 100,000 to 150,
900 skunks are killed in Maine every
fall.
The demand for oil ls steadily in
i creasing, and the price has advanced
! 50 cents to one dollar a gallon within a
j year. The natives prize the oil for itx
virtues as a cure for rheumatism and
stiff Joints, and large quantities of it
are bought by country traders and sent
to druggists out of the state.
It is estimated that the annual pro
duction of skunk oil in Maine exceeds
25,000 gallons, and the quantity is in
creased by adulteration with the fatty
oils obtained from hens and wood
chucks, a deception which has proved
most profitable to the skunk magnates.
MAKING OF OXYGEN.
latereattna Process Known to Bat
Few Professional Hen and No
Ordinary Hortals.
The manufacture of oxygen—or mora
properly its separation from the atmos
phere we breathe—is an intensely In
teresting process known to but few
professional men and scarcely known
at all by the ordinary mortal, says a
scientific paper. A plant for the manu
facture of oxygen to be used in charg
ing its distilled water was put in opera
tion recently at an ice plant in Los An
geles, Cal.
Oxygenated water Is now being pre
scribed by physicians in certain dis
eases, and hence a cheap and simple
method of separating the oxygen in the
; atmosphere becomes a matter of lm
I portance. The process employed oy the
Los Angeles company is based on the
principle that a certain chemical com
pound—manganate of soda—readily
parts with the oxygen it contains whee
subjected to the action of a Jet at
steam. A blast of air on the reeldgum
reforms it into manganate o^ soda, (Ala
chemical possessing the peculiar prop
erty of absorbing oxygen from the at
mosphere, parting with it when ex
posed to steam and being reformed
again upon exposure to the air. The
process may be continued indefinitely,
when the ingredients are placed in the
retort and proper connections for air
and steam made. No more chemicals
are required. It may be likened to dip
ping a sponge in water, squeezing it
dry, and then repeating the operation
indefinitely.
Oxygen made by this process, it is
claimed, contains no gas other than oxy
gen and no elements of any descrip
tion other than slight traces of atmos
pheric nitrogen!. Hence it requires no
washing to free it from chlorine nor
any purification whatever. The product
is oxygen—and nothing else. The
oxygen, direct from the retor+s, is
Im froooTYioio r-o on/1 ♦ V» nti
Into distilled water by means of a
Twitchell carbonating machine, which
pumps the water and oxygen at the
same time, thoroughly agitating both
before bottling. The bottling Is done
under a pressure of 60 pounds.
New Calculation.
Prof. See has watched the duration of
the blue sky after dark, and found it to
continue for about an hour and 15 min
utes, and from this he sfyows that our
atmosphere extends to a height of fully
130 miles. Astronomers have usually
found the height of the atmosphere by
computing the height of the meteors, but
none have made the height of the atmos
phere over 100 miles. The study of the
blue color of the sky thus proves also
that our atmosphere extends consider
ably higher than scientists have hereto
fore supposed. On our dark days the
blue color of the sky Is shut out by
clouds, and combinations of colors due
to reflecting clouds and countless
myriads of particles In the ethereal re
gions high above the earth give ths
bright light which is so much relished
in dally life.
