SAILS BURY, MO.

Attracted to Salisbury by the oft repeated
statement that Il was one Of the most pros
porous and progressive little cities in Missouri.
found II more than my fancy had pictured
and in all respects worthy OF it's envIAble rep
utation. IL Is charmingly located on the high
divide between the two forks OF the Grand
Charlton river at the junction of the Salisbury
and Glasgow branch with the main line OF the
Wabash Western railroad, lO5 miles east of
Kansas City and l67 miles northwest OF st.
Louis, and is vironed with the most beauti.
full and productive farm country have seen
in all the Missouri valley.
The tributary country 10 mainly high, undu-
lating prairie, interpreted with fine groves
and belts of timber, and with its beautiful
farm homes, great tobacco houses, large stock
barns, thrifty orchards, broad green pastures
and meadows, well cultivated wheat, corn and
tobacco nelds, and well dressed hedge rows,
presents a scene of beauty and thrift which
even in these January days Is assuring to the
northern visitor. To tell you the plain truth.
Mr.. Editor, about nine tenths of the northern
and eastern people who come into the much
abused and misrepresented state of Missouri,
expect to see a halfwild. indifferent sort of
country. with rude homes and slovenly farms,
owned and occupied by unthrifty, indolent,
unprogressiye people. out of line and sympa-
thy with the march OF modern progress and
enterprise. To this class of visitors Salisbury
and its environments will prove a genuine
surprise. One may travel fifteen miles east
ward to Huntsville; twenty miles west to old
Brunswick, sixteen miles south To Glasgow,
and thirty miles north to Macon, and ind q
country as fair and fertile as the famous vir-
ginia, Cumberland. Wyoming and Genesee
valleys. IL Is not surprising that such q
country is owned and cultivated by an intelli
gent, progressive and hospitable people gath

The Sound of Thunder.


One of the best descriptions of
common natural phenomenon is that
recently given by NJ. Him, in which
he says that the sound which il known
as thunder is due simply to the fact
that the air traversed by an electric
spark-that is, flash OF lightning-is
suddenly raised TO a very high tenn
perature, and has it's volume, more
over, considerably increased. The col
umn of gas thus suddenly heated and
expanded is sometimes several miles
long. and. as the duration of the flash
is not even the millionth OF second, il
follows that the noise bursts forth at
once from the whole column, though
for an observer in any one place il
commences where the lightning is at
the least distance. In precise terms,
according to NJ. Him, the beginning
of the thunder clap gives us the mini
mum distance of the lightning, and
the length of the thunder-clap gives
the length of the column. lie also re-
marks that when flash of lightning
strikes the ground, il is not necessarily
from the place struck that the first
noise is heard. Again he points out
that a bullet whistles in traversing
the air, so that we can, TO q certain
extent, follow its flight, the same
thing also happening with a falling
meteorite just before striking the
earth. The noise actually heard has
been compared TO the sound produced
when one tears linen. 1t Is due really
to the fact that the air rapidly pushed
on one side in front of the projectile,
whether bullet or meteorite, quickly
rushes back to fill the vacuum in the
rear

Wines a Century Old.

Savannah is believed to have the
oldest wine in America, says the
Savannah NescS. A well-known Sa-
MAMMALIAN, who is a connoisseur in
wines, said few days ago that he has
q lot of Madeira of the vintage OF
1S3S-over half century old.
There are wines in Savannah,
though, much older than that. Some
of the Oldest families here have Madeira
nearly a century old. One gentleman
has several lots of the famous All
Saints Madeira, imported in 1871 and
1894, the year of the great fire in Sa-
vannah. Two pipes were imported
that year, one for the great-grand-
father of the late William Gibbons
and the other for the father of Nat
Hayward, prominent South Carolina
planter. The night of the fire one
pipe was left under the bluff by mis-
take and the other was burned upon
the bay.
The pipe under the bluf was d.
vided between Gibbons and Hayward
as the only fair way of settling their
loss. The gentleman who now has
several lots ofthe wine bought 1t from

In the middle ages CHASTITY storie,
used 10 be circulated about the ex-
tremes into which the realism of Ger
tain artists sometimes landed them; oil
painters who, burning with a desire
TO hold the mirror up TO nature, act
ually crucified their models and prac-
ticed various other forms OF vivisec-
ton, for the sake of observing the
death throes and transferring their
observations TO canvas. NOWADAYS
painters are too civilized TO commit
su IN atrocities, but apparently not
too squeamish TO get others to commit
them. Such, at least, is the conclusion
to be drawn from the following story
concerning the truth of which there
can be no manner of doubt, seeing that
il is the Russian painter, Nerestchagin
who relates il of himself in the pages
of the last number of the "Russkais
Starina." 1t happened during the
late Russo Turkish war, when Nerest

realistic scenes TO be witnessed at such
a place and at such a time We give
the story in the ipSiSSimd rerbd of the

Two Albanians were brought before
General Strukotf-two desperate high
waymen whom the Bulgarians accused
of terrible atrocities. The general
gave orders that they should be bound
together as tightly as possible, and
the dragons having placed the heroes
back to back, drew the cords so tighl
at the elbows that they become per-
fectly livid and were unable to bulge
Thrown on the ground they looked
fiercely up from under their eyebrows
like two tigers, scowling at the crowd
of Bulgarisns surrounding them

throwing stones and dirt at them
The dragon told off to guard them
did not, of course, move q finger tC
stop this treatment. requested
Strukoff to hang them, but he refused
saying he did not like shooting and
hanging people in war time, and that
he would not take the death of these
youths on his conscience. He would
hand them over, he said, to Skobeloff
