Northwestern to be Rebuilt.

The main school building of the
Northwestern university, destroyed by
fire two weeks ago, will be rebuilt.
The Lutheran synod of Wisconsin will
hold special session in this city, next
week Wednesday, for the purpose of
adopting plans and appropriating funds
to construct the new building. There
was an insurance of $4,000, and this,
together with an appropriation of about
$4,000, will cover the expenses of re-
building. An additional sum for the
equipment of the institution will be re-
quired and asked for later on.
There has been a movement on foot
looking to the removal of the university
to Waukesha county, but this will not
be recognized by the synod, on account
of the large expenditure it would in
volve. Besides, Watertown is ready
and willing to render assistance in
keeping the institution here, and in
accord with this feeling a subscription
fund has been started among our citi-
zens to aid the synod in rebuilding.
Herman Wertheimer and William Cor
der are circulating the list, and thu S
far some $4,000 has been subscribed,
with more donations promised.

thirtyfve skilled workmen are thrown
out of emplOYment-men of families

ly hoped the mill will be rebuilt as soon
as possible, but it cannot be said now
what the intentions of the company
are. They have as yet held no meet

Some idea of the volume of business
done may be had when it is known
that the company's freight payments
to the st: Paul road last year amounted
to $4,000.
The Globe mill was originally built
and run by Cole, Bailey & Co. in 1913.
1t was then solely steam mill, but
later water-pOwer was added. The
property afterwards passed into the
hands, successiveiy, of the Blanchards,
Samuels q Co., F, Miller & Co., and
May, Weber & Co., the latter concern
selling to the Globe Milling company
when it became a corporation. Four
years ago the mill was enlarged and a.

Manuring Virgin Soil.

An experiment station has been es-
tablished in Oklahoma. and its first
recorded experiment shows the ad-
vantage Of manure for wheat IN the
soil Of that heretofore uncultivated
land. Without manur the soil yielded
thirteen bushels per acre. With COM
mercial fertilizers the yield was in
creased to thirty-two bushels per acre.
This indicates that Oklahoma soil lacks
phosphate, and, possibly, also potash.
We suspect that the lack of phosphate
is more often the cause Of wheat fail
ure in the Northwest than Is generally
supposed. The hot, dry winds do not
quickly sap the vitality Of grain that
has been fortified with mineral ma
nures. There is more substance in the
stalk, and even in times of drought
this will fill out the grain. We have
noticed in Elstern-grown grain fields
that the crops fortified with mineral
manures stood the drought better than
those not MANFRED. Stable manure,
on the other hand, often dries in the
soil and makes the drought worse.

A singular phenomenon occurs on the
borders Of the Red sea at a place called
Nakous, where the intermittent under
ground sounds have been heard for an
unknown number of centuries. It is
situated at about half a miles distance
from the shore, whence a long reach
Of sand ascends rapidly to a height of
almost 300 feet. This reach is so feet
wide and resembles an amphitheatre,
being rallied in by low rocks. The
sounds coming up from the ground at
this place recur at intervals Of about an
hour. They at first resemble a low
murmur, but before long there is heard
a loud knocking, somewhat like the
strokes of a bell, and which, at the
end of five minutes, become SO strong
as to agitate the sand. The e~xplana-
ton Of this curious phenomenon given
by the Arabs is that there is a con.
vent under the ground, and these are
the sounds Of the ben which the
monks ring for prayers. So they call
1t Nakous, which means a bell. The
Arabs affirm that the noise so fright
ems their camels when they hear it as
to render them furious. Scientists at
tribute the sounds to suppressed vol
canic action-probably to the bubbling
or gas or yspors underground.

COMPOSITION OF MORTAR.
Experiments by the Austrian Socic
ty of Engineers.

Experiments by the Austrian socic-
ty of Engineers.
The Australian Society of Engineers
recently conducted experiments with a
view to determining the composition Of
mortar best adapted to work, and to
remain in permanent and effective con-
dition when mixed and laid during
freezing weather. The experiments
We're made first with brick masonry,
two kinds of stone being used for the
purpose; everything was dry and free
from snow and ice. and the mortar was
mixed as tiff as possible; the lines
and cements were all tested in the mu-
nucipal experimental station, accord
ing to the established and reliable sys-
tenn of the society. The conclusions of
the investigating committee, as briefly
summarized, are, that in brick masonry
laid in frosty weather mOrtars into any
part of lime enters should not be used:
Roman cement m~ortars behave fairly
well under such conditions, and Port
land cement mOrtars give good results;
the use of warm water showed some
what more satisfactory work, and salt
materially increased resistance to frost.
With rubber masonry, using either
sandstone or limes'on lime mortar
was entirely out of place, and Roman
cement gave unsatisfactory work I'M
less mixed with salt. Under all the
circumstances presented by these var
ious tests and the character Of the re-
suits obtained, the final recommended
ton of the committee is that, in laying
brick or rubble masonry in winter, to
use only Portland cement mortar,
mixed with salt if possible.

Down the btn River.
A travelling mountain is found at the
Cascades of the Columbia. 1t is a trip
le-peaked mass of dark brown bassalt.
six or eight miles in length where it
fronts the river, and rises to the height
of almost 1000 feet above the water.
That it is in motion Is the last thought
that would be likely to suggest itself
to the mind of any one passing 1t, yet
it is Il well established fact that this
entire mountain is moving slowly but
steadily down to the river, as If it had
a deliberate purpose some time in the
future to dam the Columbia and form
a great lake from the Cascades to the
Dalles. In it's forward and downward
movement the forest along the base Of
the ridge has become submerged in the
river. Large tree stumps a be seen
standing dead in the water on this
shore.
The railway engineers and brake
men find that the line of railway which
skirts the foot of the mountain is be-
ing continually forced out of place.
AT certain points the permanent way
and rails have been pushed eight or
ten feet out of line in a few years.
Biologists attribute this strange phe-
nomenOn to the fact that the bassalt,
which constitute the bulk of the noun
tain, rests on a substratum Of conglom-
crate or soft sandstone, which the
deep, swift current of the mighty river
is constantly wearing away. or that

CHICAGO'S HISTORIC FIRE.
Mrs. O'Leary's Cow Was Asleep and
There Was No Lamps Upset.

There Was No Lamps Upset.
The Chicago Tribune lately con-
tanned an article entitled "Mrs.
OLeary's Cow from which the fol-
lowing is an extract:
The family COW was being MIXED,
and, becoming restless, kicked over the
lamp which was furnishing light for
the operation. In a moment the
flames wrapped the building, and
everybody in Chicago knows the rest.
The above statement is true in every
particular except the following: The
family COW was not being MIXED on
night of Oct. 8, 1871, when the fire was
started that destroyed Chicago, there
fore, the COW did not become restless,
in fact, was lying down when the
stable was on fire. There was no
lighted lamp in the stable on that
night, therefore no lamp was kicked
over by Mrs. O'Lery's COW while fur
nishing light for the operation of milk
ing.
The Tribune's story is a theory
which was advanced at the time, but
its falSlty was SHOWN by inc lnyeStl-
CATION subsequently made. When the
fire broke out the stable was locked,
and Mrs. O'Leary was asleep in her
own house. The O'Leary house, 1877
De Koven street, was occupied by two
/ families at the time of the fire, and the
family in the rear gave an entertain
ment that night for the purpose of
raising funds to start Il new arrival i'll
business. One of the young men at
tending the party had occasion TO stand
beside the barn, and when the neces-
sity of his so standing 10 longer eX-
listed he filled his pipe, lighted n match,
used it to light his pipe" and dropped
the lighted match upon the ground, set
ting fire to the shavings beneath the
stable and thus starting the fire which
destroyed Chicago. The r u origin of
the fire was established by sworn ties,
