A Register for "Drinks,"

Kansas City Times: On Monday
last, the Moflet register, or bell
punch as it has been called, went into
operation in every saloon and place
where alcoholic and malt liquors are
sold in Richmond, Virginia. the law
has been fought by the liquor dealers
in the legislature and through the
courts, 1t provides for tax of two
and a half cents on all alcoholic beyer.
ages drunk, and half cent on all malt
beverages sold The register is about
the size of o small cigar box. with a
crank in the rear Inside is the neces.
sary machinery to register each drink
and gong which. with each revolution
of the crank, gives notice of the fact
IL will be seen that this is n splendid
idea, although the register is not props
erly bell punch" We think, how.
ever, the apparatus might be improved
upon. Electric wires might be attached
to the church bells or bells in different
wards in the city. The tolling of the
bells would then advise the people OF,
the streets or in the houses Just how
fast the boys were doing their work.
Wives might be able to tell in this way
how their husbands were getting along
down town. A nice amusement would
spring up counting the number of
strokes in given time in one ward |
and comparing them, in generous riy.
airy, with the strokes in the same time |
in another ward. Many amusing scenes |
suggest themselves from such an ar
rangement as this. In regard to the |
register described above, what a starts
ling sensation must thrill through the
echs Of that gong.

An Ancient Lake,

Knoxville Tribune The peculiar
geological formations in the renowned
region of Saltville, Virginia, show, un.
mistakably, we think, chat the basin
In which saline matter Is now obtain
ed In such fabulous quantities, was
once u lake. 1t Is greatly depressed,
aud, ut one time, must have been much
more 30, rs the debris OF freshets for a
long series Ofyesrs would naturally
tend to I'LL 1t up and bring 1t to u high
err plane Originally 1t was no doubt,
sunk below the natural outlets which
now present themselves, thus prevent
ing the escape of the water; but, as in.
mated, as the debris would pour out
from the surrounding heights and dc.
scend through the immense assures
and gorges of the hills, it would grad.
TALLY accumulate In the basin and cause
1t to rise. This process, continuing for
ages, would necessarily bring 1t up to
the level of the outlets referred to, aud
by q constant drainage, drew of the
water. The upheavals OF nature In
that quarter are wonderful to contem-
plate, and this circumstance goes to
show, by inference at least, that the
basin In question was originally lake.
In the first place, there are q number
OF conlcal hills, setting of to them
selves, on the western edge of the la
sin. West OF these the Clinch noun
tain comes to an almost abrupt term
inatiun, as II nature, in her throes,
ceased all at once to labor and left
these upheavals in pile, so to speak.
On the eastern side OF the basin, as
well as on the southern and northern,
immense hills close in on every side,
and form one Of the grandest and most
imposing panoramas the eye ever
rested upon.

better schools, better churches, better
