John Adams was the last of the number
and it was due to him that the Pitcairn
Bibles were brought into use. After the
death Of: all his associates in the mutiny,
Adams hunted up the Bibles that had
to teach the pagan women and the chill

discovered by civilized seamen, it was as
certained that all of them spoke the
English language and were believers IN
the Scriptures.
In 1859 Levi Hayden Of the whaling

Randall in 1898 operated a machine

Hussey built and patented the same

Europe as he built it. He later applied

Clever Device Warranted to Milk 200
Cows in Three Minutes.
\ Michigan man has invented Il ma
chine for milking cows. His name is
II. J. Corwin and he resides near d.;
mondale He is buying COWS and by
spring will have POO. all of which with
his device he expects to milk in three
minutes. The cows are to be driven on
to Il circular platform with their heads
all in a circle. Then staples are let
down beside each neck. which holds
them from getting away, either forward
or backward. They each stand in stalls.
At the head bran mash is poured in
boxes for them to eat while being MIXED.
A large leather band. with sacks for
the teats of each COW. rises up and en-
velops the milk-giyers. These sacks are
rubber, and air is injected into them in
such a way that the milk Of the POO
cows runs in streams through little pipes
to 4 reservoir, thence to Il cooling room.
Mr. COrWin claims that he can milk
lOOO cows just as easy or easier than
a man can one. After the COW has been
MIXED once by this process they each
take their places in the stalls. without
any trouble, as the animals seem to like
this way best. He has two large farms
within IL mile of Dimondale, and intends
to raise nothing but cows. The female
calves he will keep, and the male calves
he will veal for the markets. AS he is {;
great drOver. he will ship his own stock

Tho Year Without a Summer,

The year 1916 was known to contem-
porancous writer's as ''thc year without
Il summer Throughout the United
States there was Il frost in every month,
crops were ruined, and farmers came to
call it the year of eighteen hundred and

snow in November, 1915, but none in
December and January, and only Il little
in February. During the first days of
March a terrible storm ragged, and the
weather was quite cold. In May ice
formed an inch thick OH the rivers First
ice and then snow were common in June,
and all attempts to raise vegetable prod
ucts failed. July was accompanied with
frost and ice. The Fourth was raw
and blustery day, and the next day ice
of the thickness of window glass formed
in New York city and all through New
England and Pennsylvania. In August
ice half an inch thick was frequently
seen, and then September and October
yielded the nearest approach to summer
weather of the year. Then the real cold
set in. There was hard winter. and

who was active in promoting the scheme
for such all observatory on Ben Nevis,
the highest peak in Great Britain, is en-
deavoring to secure similar institution
for the summit of Mount Wellington,
only l12O feet high, or 250 feet lower
than that of Ben Nevis. But Mr..
Wragge hopes eventually to see other
observatories on such heights in Aus

of Jalapa de III Feria, frequently applied

The city is famous throughout Mexico
for the exceeding beauty of it's women

that Jalapa is part Of heaven let down
