A City Of Champagne

Epernay, France, is a vast subterranean
'city of champagne" For miles and
miles there are streets hewn out OF the
solid chalk. fanked with piles OF cham
payne OF oil brands and qualities. There
is no light IN this labyrinth OF streets,
sputterins candles afford. All is dark,
dank and damp, with the temperature
way down about zero. The largest cham
payne manufactures In Epernay have un-
derground cellars which cover forty-five
acres and contain 5000, 600 bottles OF
lined with fine chateaux, the proprietors
of which possess similar establishments.
The whole town is honey coIn bed with
these underground gallsires for the manu-.
facture and storage of champagne.

Flying Under water.

When the penguin in the London
geological garden is fed, the fish are
thrown into the water, and the bird,
which cannot fly in air or swim on the
surface of the water, at once plunges
in, and is transformed into a swift and
beautiful creature. beaded with glob-
ules Of quicksilver. where the air clings
TO the close feathers, and flying
through the clear and waveless depths
with arrowy speed and powers of turn
ing far greater than in any known form
of aerial fight The rapid and steady
strokes of the wings are exactly SINH
lar 20 those Of the air birds, while the
feet foat straight out, level with its
body, unused for propulsion, or even as
rudders, and as little needed in its
progress as those of the wild duck
when on the wing. The twists and
turns necessary TO follow the active
little fish are made wholly by the
strokes Of one wing and the cessation
of movement in the other; and tile fish
are chased, caught and swallowed
without the slightest relaxation OF
speed, in submarine fight which is
quite as rapid as that of most birds
which take their prey in Eidair.

4 word About MhIts cIo,er.

Professor Henry Of the Wisconsin
station is credited with the following:
II is not advisable to sow white clover
alone on land for hog pasture. but a
mixture of several grasses, such as two
bushels of blue grass, one bushel of
orchard grass, one peck Of timothy and
four pounds of white clover seed. Sow
this on three acres of ground with a
very light seeding of oats and barley,
or, better still, without any grain at
all 1t is suggested that the land be
not pastured until the sod is well
formed, and if the grass runs up tall
that it may be cut for hay No stock
should be turned in on the field until
the second season, unless a few weeks
in the fall while the ground is dry.
Thick seeding is urged
