Worked by Water Power.

The Importance Of employing good
engineering skill. where, although the
first cost of professional fees is large,
the amount may ultimately be saved
many times over, is we'll illustrated in
the case of the Comstock silver mines,
gvhich, according to the Age Of Steel,
was much troubled with water, al
though situated in a mountainous coun-
try. The engineers suggested that by
driving a 1dnnel through the hill not
only could the mines be drained, but
the troublesome overlooking water be
utilized. A tunnel was accordingly
made, the overfowing waters and ad-
joining stream were diverted down Il
shaft to the bottom Of the mine, some
LOO feet under the level, and in cham

100 miles an hour, while it is 10 uncom-
mon thing for an ordinary iceboat to
jog along at speed Of fifty miles an
hour. While flying at high rate OF
speed the least turn Of the tiller may
cause the boat to change it's course, cap
sizing it, or, perhaps, running it into
some obstacle.
Like sailboats, iceboats are of various
designs. each having some particular
advantage, but invariably the owner
will tell you that his is the best possible
method. The momentum of boat de-
ponds largely upon it's size and the
breadth Of it's sails in proportion to the
dimensions Of the boat. Nearly all
standard boats are rugged alike, or near
ly so, but the cheaper boats are more
for experiment and are often arranged
differently. Most people imagine that
after the first heavy fall of snow ice
boating must be dispensed with, but
such is not the case. The iceboats are
so constructed that they will plow
through foot of snow, the skates being
attached to a fange which raises the

missions from him to paint two pictures

The Hague She had told him that she
was exceedingly busy and couldn't

''How long must wait? One year

old he was, and when he said, Seven

and told him she would paint the pic

related this incident to her visitors, and
added: "Mr. Belmont is great Demo-
crat. isn't he? When will he be elected
President Of the United States?" She
evidently thought his chances were very
good, but Mr. Vanderbilt told her he
thought they were about as good as his
own, and his he considered painfully
small; so Nine. BOnheur was enlighten-

the boat about eighteen inches

body of the boat about eighteen inches
above the ice.
An iceboat is simple in construction,
being in the shape Of triangle. There
are three skates under it, two Of which
are at the front. The fore runners are
generally much heavier and larger than
is the hind runner, for the reason that
they bear a larger proportion OF the
weight. The tiller is at the extreme end
Of the boat, so that it requires little
force to steer the boat. The average
head Of the iceboat is from II to Is feet
long, and from to feet wide.
The spar is at the bow of the boat and
the sail projects half way over the bow.
Most of the boats have only one sail,
which consists Of about so yards Of CAN
vas, but in many instances a Jib, fore
sail and topsail are used. All sails may
be reefed.
There will be a greater variety of ice
boats this winter than ever before.
They range from the small boys boat,
which may be considered toy, to the
larger ones which carry nearly as much
canvas as do some of the large schoon-

An Extraordinary Freak of Nature Near

proves to be a tumulus of white calcare-
Gus stone evidently of water formation,
about fifty feet in height and 100 feet
in diameter at the base. The form is
that Of truncated cone. At the apex is
an elliptical-shaped opening about TWEEN
ty-fve feet along the minor and hfty feet
along the major axis. 1t is a bell
shaped cavity and lined with ferns of
various descriptions. | should judge the
depth to be at least 100 feet, and at the
bottom, so far as visible, the opening
must be sixty feet in diameter. In the
bottom. on one side, are to be seen some
gorgeous ferns and on the other side
pool of water.
"TraditiCn says that the ancient AZ
tees were accustomed to worship here
the genius of the spot, and occasionally
threw in live victim to appease his sub
terranean majesty. 1t is also said that
a few victims of the Inquisition were
thrown down here to reflect upon the
controversial points of doctrine. At all
events, it is a most singular freak of

Cut Feed for Horses,

All farmers use cut feed for horses
when at hard work, because there is a
great saving in the labor needed to d.
geSt cut feed. If mixed with some grain
meal and wet so that the meal can only
be got by eating the cut feed mixed
with it, the whole will be chewed suf-
ficiently to moisten it with saliva,
which is necessary to quicken diges-
ton. But this economy in feeding cut
feed is also important when the horse
is not working. If the cut feed is corn
stalks, it should always be steamed
with very hot water, so as to soften
the cut ends Of the stalks, which may
cause injury. This is the best, also, if
hay or straw is cut, particularly wheat
Or rye straw, which, being harder than
cut hay and less nutritious, is not likely
to be thoroughly cheWed. The stomach
Of the horse needs slight irritation.
This is the advantage which oats have
over other grains. It's hull helps the
grain to digest better, and this makes
the horse feel frisky and able to do his
best. 1t is an old saying of farmers
that when an old horse begins to act
unusually coltish he has probably "got
an oat standing corner wise against
his stomach, and he jumps around so
as to get it out" 1t is a homely illustra-
ton, but may have truth in it.-Ameri-
can CultivatOr.

Gle from the floor for weighing, or

Saving FL rel.

A large percentage of heat from coal
goes up the chimney because the damp
ers are not properly adjusted. The
fire is started and the heat becomes in
tense. Instead Of shutting off the draft
and checking the fire, which is roaring
like blast furnaces the idea seems to
prevail that it must stay in this con-
dition until the house is heated. By
that time the first lot of fuel is almost
consumed, with little result, except to
heat the chimney and a portion of the
outside air. IT,. instead Of this man
ner Of managing, the hampers were
arranged as soon as the fire was well
under way, the hot air would soon cir
culate through the pipes instead. A
high degree of heat may be kept up
by putting on coal couple of shovel
fulS at one time. Packing the heater
with coal and allowing it to burn out
is not the best way to economic.

as follows He first turned a four inch
sod and followed in the same furrow
with stirring pillow and turned six inch
es Of dirt on top of the sod. The next
sod was turned into the bottom Of the
furroW and another furroW on top of
it, and so on to the end. The piece
was then planted to corn, and he never
put a pillow or hoe into it after planting,
and he had the biggest crop Of corn
in the country and scarcely Il weed to
be found in it. The next spring he
plowed the land and s0wcd to spring
wheat and had one OF the best crops
he ever raised. And ne said the ground
for the whole ten inches turned was
just like an ash heap, with scarcely Il
trace Of sod to be found i'll it.

On Wings of Wind.

With winter comes the ice, and there
is nothing that affords more sport than
of an experienced person. Ice boating
is not as dangerous as some other sports
on the ice, but one must always be on
the lookout for cracks in the ice, logs of
wood and other obstacles. The iceboat,
under favorable conditions, travels
nearly ten times faster than does the
ordinary sailboat, and therefore it is
more difficult to handle They have

should have sufficient capacity for per
uniting of holding a supply for the

ed too high. 1t is not necessary to have
the temperature higher than 80 de-
grees, and as there is quite an amount
of heat given off from lamp the tenn
perature will be raiged to that point if
the house is not too open; it will also
assist in drying the walls and prevent
ing dampness. There will be no liabil-
ity Of foul air or injury from the lamp

Der excavations at the bottom of the
shaft were placed several pelton water
wheels, against which this heavy fall
Of water was directed. The wheels
drove electric generators, which in
turn, by an electric cable running up
the shaft, drove electric motors, and
in this way all steam machinery was
dispensed with, the expensive cost Of
all fuel avoided and the entire pumping
machinery done away with. But, more
than this, the entire mines can now be
worked by water power at great
financial saving.

water also to a watering tank near by,
where cattle and horses quench their
thirst. The circular wood saw, the
grindstone and the corn shelter, e, have
been added in making the illustration,
as has also a water tank This last is
for use as a reservoir in very cold
weather, to supply water to a smaller
drinking tank outside the building. The
water in this reservoir and in the
creamer can be kept from freezing in
winter by placing a small stove, if nee
essary, in the room. The stove would
also be very useful at churning time
and on washing days. Having ma
chinery in a small house under the
windmill does not prevent carrying the
power by means Of chain, belt or tum-
bling rod, from the mill to other ada
cent buildings. Screening wheat,
grinding, Smelling, cutting feed or other
operations can usually be more con-
veniently done near the storage rooms.
The mill is convenient to the kitchen

Mutton Is the Best Meat.

Mutton is more easily digested than
beef, though in healthy man no mark
ed difference would be observed, since
in the stomach Of such man there

ton of beef However, mutton will be
found to tax the stomach of dyspept1c
person less than beef does. Lamb is
not nearly so nutritious as mutton. The
tissue is soft. gelatinous and rich in wa
ter. Lamb should not be selected for
those whose digestive organs are weak.

Horse Figures.

During the last two years the idea has
become general that the bicycle has near
ly driven the horse out Of existence. A
horseshoeing association, in. its annual
report, maintains that this is all mis-
take, and there are more horses in the
country now than ever before since the
landing of the pilgrim fathers; The or
ganization demonstrates that there are in
Ohio 10000 more horses than there were
a year ago. 1900 more in Michigan,
and 12,500 more in New York. Other
states are adduced as showing a CORE
spending increase in the number of
horses over twelve months ago. The
explanation offered for this fact is that
bicycles are used chiefly by people who
never did and never would own horse.
1t is also asserted that while occasionally
a man may sell his horse and adopt
the bike" the change is only temporary,
and that as soon as the celebrating nov
city of the wheel wears off. the four
footed nag is reinstated. But for all
this, the horse is, passing, and if the
statistican based his figures on 'horses
in use" instead of sin existence" they
would probably be considerably modified.

Valuable Secret.

Of the famous Oxford paper, the Lon
don Daily News gives the following
curious and doubtless authentic history
Fifty-fOur years ago several packets of
a fine kind of paper, with books printed
from it, were brought home from China
by a member of the university. The
paper was used for the printing of few
volumes at the university press. AS the
volumes were gradually distributed over
booksellers became interested in the new
kind of paper. Inquiries were made
about it, to which the authorities of the
Oxford press were unable to give any
answer. They themselves did not know
in what part of China it was manu-
featured nor how it was manufactured.
They sent a representative to the East
to make researches, but little or nothing
came Of them. Then they began series
of chemical analyses and experiments.
About twenty years ago their analysis
was successfully completed, and the Ok
ford paper, now known all the world
over. was the result It may not be the
exact ditto of the old Chinese substance,
but it is unapproached and unique. Ever
since the invention printers and publish
ers' spies from all parts of the world
have been prowling about the Oxford
and London offices of the University
press. "Why," asked visitor, the other
dav, of Mr.. Provide, don't they analyze
your paper and find YOU out as you did
with the ChinamanW To which the
answer was: ga diamond is simply pure
carbon. I'll give you as much carbon
as you like if you will make a diamond
of it. The after preparation-that's the
secret; and the secret of this paper is
known only to three men," which sounds
conclusive.
