IMPORTANT INVENTION.
Hydraulic Cells That VIII Prevent Pris
oners From Escaping.

ohShS lssCdpiHss
CHEYENNE, Wyo., March s-A public
test of the hydraulic prison cells,
patented by P. Emerson Glafike, OF
this city, was made Wednesday, The
model worked perfectly, showing the
entire practicability of the invention.
The cells are made wholly of iron
or steel pipes, which are filled
with water under pressure. Should
there be leak in the pipes
the reduction of the pressure therein
would at once be indicated by an elec.
trio alarm in the warden's office. The
locks on the doors are also operated by
hydraulic pressure. A number of prom.
inent prison officials in the east have
examined the plan of Mr.. Glatike'.
cell, and pronounce it wonderful in.
vention. With these cells it would be
impossible for a prisoner to saw off a
bolt or bar without causing leak and
sounding the alarm.

Three or four years ago Southern
farmers had a succession OF bad years.
They were badly In debt, and the
price of cotton was so low that there
seemed little chance to get out OF
debt again. But late reports from
the South are that they have done
so, and now owe less than In many
years. The South now grows more
pork and beef than ever before. This

Low Yie.d of Corn.

1t is surprising how low the aver
age yields OF corn are, taking the
country as u whole. Twenty-Five to
twenty-three bushels per acre is the
yield reported for 1897. and yet with
good culture and manuring, yields OF
more than 100 bushels OF shelled
grain have been attained. No crop
has its yield increased more certainly
than corn by manuring and Thorough
culture. The soil cannot be made
too rich for corn, as it easily may for
any OF the smaller grains The av-
erage yield OF this crop is, therefore,
fair test of the increase or decrease
of soil fertility. 1t Is doubtless grow
ing harder TO secure large corn crops
than 1t used TO be. The longer land
is cultivated with poor management
the less vegetable matter it contains.
So long as soil is full Of its original
supp Of decaying roots good corn
crops are grown. Now the old condi-
tions must be supplied by manure and
the blowing under OF clover.

\ Natural bridge of ChaIcedony.


A mining expert sent to investigate
some Arizona properties for Denver
capitalists recently returned and re-
ports the finding OF a most rema -kable
natural bridge formed by tree of
agatized wood, spanning canyon for
ty-five feet in width. The tree had at
some remote time fallen, when it be
came imbedded in the silt of some
great inland sea or mighty water over
flow. The silt became in time sand
stone, and the wood gradually passed
through the stages of naturalization,
until it is now wonderful tree OF solid
agate. In after years water washed
and ate away the sandstone until q
canyon forty-five feet in width has been
formed, the finty-like substance of the
agatized wood having resisted the ero-
sion of the water fiow
Upward of fifty feet OF the tree rests
on one side and can be traced, but how
far its other end lies buried in the
sandstone cannot be determined with
out blasting away the rock. The trunk
visible above the canyon varies in size
from four feet to three in diameter.
Where the bark has been broken and
torn away the characteristic cOlors OF
jasper and agate are seen. To the
naked eye the wood is beautiful. I'm
der microsC ooe or miners magnify
ing glass the brilliancy of the coloring
is clearly brought out in its won
drous beauty.

There is a common tendency among
beginners In bee culture to make the

colonies have worked undisturbed for

A street Danger.

The chief engineer of the London
Gas Company has found that in some
streets the pavement of wood blocks
laid on concrete now forms kind OF
arch capable of supporting traffic,
while in many places the earth has
settled away to such an extent that a
man can crawl under the pavement.
This is made serious matter by the
fact that the space between the soil
and the concrete proves to be filled
with mixture of gas from leaky mains
and air. mixture very liable to reach
explosive proportions, and 10 be acct
dentally ignited, when the street might
be blown into the air.

Kill, SPANS small King, is the host,
a pretty girl of ii years won his little
Spanish heart, and he chose her re-

reason farmers should neglect none of
