surrounding county known as the
Wheat Hill, is eighty feet deep, twenty
feet sand, forty feet solid blue clay,

good supply of water, not affected
by the dry weather of this season.
Storms are indicated in advance by a
discoloration of the water, it having
the appearance Of milk being dropped
in it, and is quite agitated in appear
ance when pumped from the well.
This condition of the water usually
continues but n short time, generally
becoming clear before the storm COM

these conditions of the water are more
or less extreme, rs the storm will be
more or less severe.

Treasure Hunters of New Kind

Treasure hunters of new kind are

with her. The Warhawk took fire in
the harbor soon after her arrival from
San Francisco, and, to save other
shipping, she was scuttled, and went
down in deep water. Nothing was
recovered from the wreck. The divers
who started work few days ago,

The canned goods were spoiled, but

To Prevent Collisions.

Five miles of the Chicago q Eastern
Illinois Railroad have lately been
equipped with the audible block sig
nal, an invention which it is said will
prevent ninety-five per cent OF the
railroad disasters. The system was
shown in practical operation recently
In Chicago to number of expert elec-
tricians, railroad men and others. A
number of prominent Buffalo people
we're in the party and took special
interest in the test of the new device,
it being the invention OF Buffalo
man.
The test was entirely satisfactory,
and it was found to work even better
in actual operation than the model.
After the trial was finished IL was de-
cided to incorporate company.
1t has been in use on the five miles
of road for several weeks, and Presi-
dent Carpenter Sf the Eastern Illi-
nois, says up to this time 1T has done
all that is expected of it.
1t was shown at the test that the
system will give timely alarm to the
engineer of a moving train when ap.
preaching standing or moving loco
motive on the same track, and of an
occupied grade crossing, an open
switch or drawbridge, or car pro-
jecting from n side track over main
track.
As the signal given is the ringing
of the bell in the cab of the locomo-
tive, which will continue to ring until
stopped by the engineer, it is appar-
ent that the system is certain to be
as effective in darkness as in daylight,
or during fogs or transforms, on
curves or heavy grades where visible
signal could not be seen in time to
prevent disaster. Chicago Tribune.

HyGIENIo BUcKwHEAT CAKES.

One pint buckwheat -four, one
fourth pint corn meal, graham or
whole wheat flour, rs preferred: One
pint warm water, one-fourth pint
liquid yeast or one-half ounce COM
pressed or other solid yeast, dissolved
in two tablespoonsful warm water; one
teaspoonful salt. Mix these ingredi.
ents thoroughly at noon the day be-
fore the cakes are wanted, using an
earthen vessel-never metal one
unless granite or porcelain lined.
Clean the smears of batter from the
sides of the vessel, cover and set away
in moderately warm place. Next
morning when ready to bake the
cakes stir the batter down gently and
take from it a generous quarter of
pint to be used in place of
other yeast to Q start sases next. day.
Cover and put in cool place, where
it will not freeze. To the rest of the
batter add l tablespoonful New Or
leans molasses and IL teaspoonful soda
dissolved in little water. As som e
like these cakes thinner than do
others, water may be stirred in with
soda and molasses, remembering that
n little wetting thins good deal, and
that the quality of the cakes is injured
If flour has to be added at this stage.
All tho batter should be used; it is
the left-overs that ferment too much
and commonly cause the indigestibil-
ity of these cakes. The measures
given are enough for family of four
or five, and one can soon learn to
gauge the quantity to the family SO
that there will be no waste.
A few points about baking. When
filling the griddle, dip the batter
from the side of the vessel farthest
from the griddle, otherwise there
will be trail of the batter over the
side of the vessel onto the stove and
griddle. A greaser should be used,
instead of putting the fat on the grid
die in bits with knife. This may
be piece of bacon or salt pork on q
fork, or a swab of muslin tied to O
small stick or fork. Handy greasers
may be had very cheaply Mt the house
furnishing shops Only enough grease
should be used to make the cakes turn
nicely. The griddle should be wiped
free from spatters of batter aud grease
after each baking. This may be done
neatly with piece of MANILA, moi
newspaper, which should be burned
when the cakes for the meal are all
baked. II these directions are fol
lowed the disagreeable and unhealth
full smoke aud flavor from burned
grease may be avoided. These cake!
may be continued from day to day in
definitely, without the addition of new
yeast, provided the fourth of pint o
batter is kept over in good condition
