A Hole Through the Earth.

If it were possible to bore a hole en-
tirely through the earth and then to start
a ball of iron weighing 100 pounds to
falling through the same. at what point
would it stop? To begin with, weight, in
the sense in which it is referred to in the
question, is simply the measure OF the
attractive force of gravitation, or, in other
words, the measure of force with which a
body is attracted by the earth. This
attractive force decreases both ways from
the earth 8 surface. Thus we find tat a
mass of iron or other material will lose
two pounds of weight between tidewater
and the top of a mountain four miles
high; the same mass will weigh two
pounds less four miles beneath the sur
face than it did at sea level. Therefore If q
ball of any given weight should start On
the tour outlined in the query its
weight would decrease to a GER
tain extent with every yard of
its fight (or falD until finally, upon reach
ing the cenuer OF the earth, it would have
no weight, the phenomenon OF attrac-
ton at that point acting equally in every
direction. This being the case, the ball.
no odds what it weighed on the surface,
would be held in suspension, ga thing
neither having nor imparting weight as
though fixed by innumerable magnetic
points. st. Louis Republic.

Interesting Comparison for July Made by
Observer Salisbury.
Observer Salisbury, IN his review and
comparison for last month, says:
July, as well as June, in Utah, can
usually be depended upon to have several
summer showers. A twenty years
record at Salt Lake city shows an average
of three to four appreciate showers in
July, and four to five in June. But this
year was an exception, and for weeks
after the first of June no rain fell to
moisten the parched earth, revive the
dropping vegetation and gladden. the
heart OF the farmer. Water for irrigation
became scsnty, and the stock ranges
short and dried up.
At last the prolonged drought was
broken by heavy showers beginning in
the soath on the 18th, and continuing at
intervals for several DAYS, the rains being
due to the influence of a general storm
advancing from the southwest. In some
localities the severe mountain storms
caused washouts and canyon floods. In
Inc extreme north the showers were only
slight, and at the end of the month there
was still great deficiency of rain in Box
Elder, Cache, and Weber counties. Dur
ing the dry spell hot winds prevailed,
and the weather seemed of unusual
warmth; it was not So, however, as there
have been several JuIys which were hot

A CEMENT CENTER.
Dillon Is pc More Deserted Village
Of the Plains.


Time was Hhen 1t was one Of Dickln-

to Dillon p = type Of Goldsmith's
deserted Village" The fact that 1t
had apparel =, outlived its usefulness,
its merchau' Lad moved away and
house after h"use was being drawn
over he hills to Hope made the situa-
ton too serious to be funny.
All that ha' changed. A magic
wand has Infused life into Dillon and
that wand is cement. The father OF
the cement industry in Dickinson
county Ia G., Heller, q farmer, who
realized the value Of the natural plas-
ter found in such unlimited quantities
in the vicinity Of Dillon. lie Is now
manager Of the Dillon Cement Plaster
Co which has fine buildings and sr-
paratus and producing capacity Of
i25 tons Of plaster daily. Besides this
company there is the Agatite Cement

crmpany's beds are eight feet deep and
are connected with the mandatory

from the old Abilene street railway.
Il has 5000 tons Of crude material
stored in its ware house.
This natural plaster is claimed to be
the most perfect plastering material

Owing to the dullness OF trade aud the
small amount Of building going ON at

with the frightening Of business It will
be in demand and Dillon may expect
at least 200 workmen in this unique
industry, for nowhere except In south
