DEERINc VOTES "No."
There Were $50 For and 500 Against
Annexation.


Inc last scene of the annexation contest
as II mas been carried on under the act of the
legislature took place at Deering town house
yesterday, and the annexationists were

victory Tor the antis Then Mr.. +. E. G.
Aoppins, an anti, and Mr.. T. Frank Jones,
an annexationist, were chosen to assist in
checking.
Inc voting began strong from the first.
Inc crews from the Eastern Forge Works
ana hawkins's shoe factory were ants al
most 10 man, and they voted early. There
were also many other ants who voted early,
LOT the organization of their side was very
eHectlve, and from the first 1t became evil
dent that it would get out every vote.
All the forenoon the vote stood nearly two
70 one against annexation but at noon as
NS'o5 buolucoo III L oAsi*h SNb"A w
come the yes votes increased until at /
O'Clock the anti checker, who stood by the
Ballot Dox, reported 525 mo" votes and $40
yes" votes. The annexationists said the
checkers estimate was not correct by %
votes, but they admitted that the ants were
far in the lead
With S74 votes cast up to o'clock 1t Is evil
dent that the meeting was very lively. In
the last September election only 800 votes
were cast in the whole day.
The annexationists complained that the
whole machinery of the town government
was used against them; and in support of
their claim pointed to the fact that all men
connected with the town in any way. as
those employed on the highways, were voting
anti. On the other hand there was consider
able complaint that the full annexationist
vote was slow about coming out. This was
undoubtedly so. and has been the trouble
from the first Annexation undoubtedly has
more strength in the town than it shows at
the meetings.
The voting shows that this time the an
nexati0nists have done better than ever be-
fore. and they are encouraged by this fact.
On the other hand the ants have also done
better. A year ago the vote stood:
.384
.307
Majority against. ........................... 81
This year the vote was:

The polls closed at O'Clock, it having been

A TRA YELLING PINT.

I was sitting in passenger car
looking out over a stretch of prairie
land in the great Arkansas Valley,
says writer in st. Nicholas. The day
was windy; indeed a ship captain,
who sat next to me, said it was ''half
a gale'' though, judging from the way
the wind shrieked past US, 1 should
not have thought of using a fraction
in describing it.
Suddenly a number of elegantly
shaped, slightly built animals appear
ed in the distance and rushed toward
the moving train. The wind, the an
teIopes-for such they proved to be
and the train engaged in a race, in
which the antelopes for short time
held their own; but what most aston
ished me was that the antelopes were
pursued by great gray balls, some of
diameter.
Not one of our party could imagine
what these were, never having heard
of anything of the kind. We watch
ed the curious sight until the lOcOmO-
tive and the wind left the antelOpes
and the pursuing balls far behind US.
To increase our interest, however,
many more such balls could be seen
on the windward side of the track,
piled up against the wire fences and
the ravines and gulleys along our on
ward route.
afterward learned that what our
party saw were known to the plains
men as tumble weeds" and to bot
anists as the cycloloma plalyphylium.
1t belongs to genius of plants that
grow in a thick globe shaped mass OF
twigs and small branches, attached to
their roots each by a small stem,
which in the fall comes dry and brit
tie, and, as the autumn winds sweep
over the prairie, these stems break
off and the tumbleweeds go bound
ing away, scattering their seeds as
they go.
Antelopes and jack rabbits, grouse
and prairie dogs are put to flight, cat
tie are stampeded and the road-beds
clogged by these flying masses OF
brushwood.

UNDER THE EARTH.

The workmen in the deepest mines
of Europe swelter in almost intolera
BILE heat, says GoIdth'Odite's Magazine,
and vet they never penetrate over
one seven thousandth of the distance
from the surface to the center of the
earth.
In the lower levels of some of the
Comstock mines the men fought scald-
ing water and could only work three
or four hours at time until the Sutro
tunnel pierced the mines and drew off
some of the terrible heat, which had
stood at 12O degrees.
The deepest boring ever made, that
at Sperenburg, near Berlin, penetrates
only 4,172 feet, about 1 900 feet deeper
than the famous artesian well at st.
Louis.
While behring's and mines reveal to
us only a few secrets relating solely
to the temperature and constitution
of the earth for a few thousand feet
below the surface we are able by means
of volcanoes to form some notion of
what is going on at greater depth.
There have been many theories,
about the causes of volcanoes, but it
is now generally held that though
they are produced by the intense heat
of the interior of the earth they are
not directly connected with the molten
immediate scources of volcanic ener-
gy.
Everybody knows that many rocks
are formed on the floor of the ocean
and it has been found that twentieth
to a seventh of their weight is made
UP of imprisoned water. Now these
rocks are buried in time under over
LAYING strata, which serve as a blanket
to keep IL the enormous heat of the
interior. This heat turns the water
into superheated strata, which melts
the hardest rock, and when the steam
finds a fissure in the strata above it it
breaks through to the surface with
terrific energy and we have volcano.
We find that these outpourings that
have lain for countless ages many
thousands of feet below the surface
are well adapted to serve the purpos-
es of man. Many vineyard fiourishes
on the volcanic ashes of Vesuvius, and
volcanic mud has clothed the hills of
New Zealand with fine forests and its
plains with Iuxuriant verdure. The
most wonderful display of the results
of volcanic energy is seen in the north
western corner of our own land, re-
gion of lofty forests and of great fer
tilitY.

Put a fly on the window, and up he
goes toward the top; he cannot be
made to walk downward. A ST. Louis
inventor hit upon an idea. Why not
use that habit against them? Forth
with he made window screen divld-
ed in halves. The upper half Tapped
over the lower, with an inch of space
between. AS soon as fly would light
on the screen he would proceed to
travel upward, and would thus walk
straight out-of- doors. On reaching
the top or the lower side he would
be outside Not being able to walk
down he had no way to return to the

quickly cleared of flies, which always

The Oldest rosebush in the world is
at Hildersheim, an old town in Han
over, capital of Prussian administra-
tive district. 1t was planted more
than 1 200 years ago by Charlemagne
in commemoration of visit made to
him by the Ambassador of the Caliph
Haroun- al Raschid of "Arabian
Knights'' fame. After it had become
a fourishing vine a cathedral was
built over it, the date of building be-
ing doubtful. 1t is known, however,
that a coff1n-shaped vault was built
around its sacred roots in the year 818,
the vault and bush surviving fire
which destroyed the cathedral in
1146 The bush is now said to be
twenty-six feet high and to cover
thirty two feet Of the wall. The stem,
after 1000 years growth, is only two
inches in diameter.
