therefore, only slightly sulphured to pre-
serve their color. They are next evapor-
aied until one-third of the moisture is eX-
PEELED, and then placed in trays in the sun,
just as is done with fruit. The drying pro-
cess shrves the onions much that it
takes twenty parts of the fresh to make one
of the dried. While the onions are being
cut up the moisture coming from them is
very disagreeable and hard on the eyes of
the employees.
When carrots are evaporated 1t takes
about nine parts of them to rake one dried
part. Perhaps the drying process used in
the case of both carrots and potatoes might
be improved upon were steam employed.
But using the latter the starch in the po-
tatoes would be partly cooked and steril-
lied, and after this the tubers could be
evaporated in a chamber similar to the one
above described In this way the potatoes
could be rid of sulphur. well dried, and yet
capable of being quickly soaked, and there
would be no chance for bacteria to develop.

STORY OF THREE CHURCHES.

One From n Single Stone, One From u

From Architecture and Building.
The following story comes from Water
loo, Iowa: The members of the Presby-
terrain church decided to erect a new place
of worship Stone was scarce; in fact there
were no quarries and no rock suitable for
building purposes nigh at hand. AT last
their attention was called to what was ap-
parently large bowlder which stood in the
middle of a plain about eight miles from
the town. This huge mass of rock was like
an island in the midst Of a vast sea. About
eight feet of it projected above ground.
The work of excavating this large bowlder
was at once begun. When exposed to view
it was found to be twenty-eight feet high,
thirty feet long and twenty feet wide On
this monolith the workmen began their la
bors with drill, hammer and dynamite and
the enormous rock was converted into
building stone. The pieces were conveyed
to the town, and before long wonderful
metamorphosiS was apparent, and then this
giant bowlder, after resting undisturb bed
for countless years and buried by the de-
posits of ages, was transformed into q
beautiful church. In Its rough state this
great rock Is estimated to have weighed
more than 25O0 tons.
To build a church from material taken
from one bowlder is certainly surprising,
