story structure and has 1t transformed
into one Of two stories, almost without
effort on his part. This, however, is the
experience OF J. w. Fesler. who lives
north Of Morgantown. a village q few
miles southwest of here. He has q barn
which threatens to develop into sky
scraper. In 1891, having need Of q new
barn. he built a small structure, and In
its construction he used green willow
posts at the corners and along the sides.
These he sunk into the ground In the
usual manner. For some time nothing
unusual was noticed. but after year
he saw that whereas he laid the floor
near the ground, 1t was now three feet
covered that the willow posts instead Of
being dead. as he supposed they were
on putting them In, were in reality alive.
and had taken root and were growing.
In their upward movement they carried
the barn along. He watched this with
interest month by month and year by
year. OF course, he had to build another
barn, for 1t was incOnvenient to use the
constantly rising structure. Last spring
the first barn was on stilts nine feet high,
and in August he put in a new floor and
surrounded the posts with siding, there
by making 1t a twO-story affair. There
is now space OF seven inches between
the new floor and the ground, and Mr..
Fesler expects to have three-story
barn in course Of time. He has built out
side stairs to the second story. The
neighbors come for miles around to see
''Fesler's elevator as they call 1t, ana
he and his barn are the subjects Of

up to Baltimore curiosity discovered
by him which has created considerab bile
interest among steamboat people about
Light-street wharf. 1t is a. live oyster
of large size, growing out of the mouth
of a yeast powder bottle, which was
found on the shore of the Rappahan-
mock river. The oyster is considerably
larger than the bottle, and only very
small portion is inside. Upon the sides
of the bottle are several small oysters
of tiny size, firmly fastened there.
Mr.. Nelson has brought up a story
more wonderful than his oysters, and
for which there has as yet been no evil
dence produced. 1t Is OF an old gentle
man, who lives near Urbana, and who,
so the story goes, while bathing during
the summer, lost a set Of false teeth,
which floated away or went to the bot
tom. Last week, while dredging, an
oysterman brought up to the surface a
set Of false teeth, around which num-
Der of oysters were clingng, some of
which were Of good size, and fastened on
firmly. The old gentleman promptly
identified his teeth, and keeps them as a
curiosity.-Baltimore American.

RIDING ON A WIRE
Bridge Gable for an Aerial Pleasure
Trip

Although the cable at the new bridge,
which is suspended from the towers at
either side of the river, is large and
strong. and the concrete box and gear
ing which slide along under the cable
are secure, yet there are few men in To-
peka who would care to take the risk Of
riding across on the aerial railway.
But there are three ladies who accom-
plished the feat. A. Hunsecker, the en-
gineer. who manages the engines in the
little shanty up in the south tower
thought it would he pleasant trip for
his wife and two daughters to cross the
river high in the air. They thought 80,
too and so the box was lowered at the
south side of the river and Mrs. Emma
Hunseclier and her two daughters, Alice
and Kate, stepped in. Foreman Gaines
also got into the car" Engineer Hun

cables stretched tightly, lifting high into
the air cargo very precious to him.

A Lively Cat

A Camden man the other day brought
home a handsome coon cat as pleasing
surprise for his wife. 1t was about
o'clock when the cat entered her new
dwelling and before she had killed the
pet canary. Before she had killed five
chickens, and the next day got into q

too combative for home comfort, the

business. Here she had a combat with
