More Destructive Than Any Other
Monster of the Deep.
The orca or killer" whale is the most
ferocious animal that lives in the sea.
Its powers of destruction are vastly
superior TO those of the blue, man
eating shark, as it is gifted with
much greater intelligence 1t has an
Unsuitable appetite, and also shows
disposition to kill from pure wanton-
ness. 1t has not been known to at
tack man, but, though only IS feet long,
will assail the largest whale. Like the
land wolf, the orca travels in packs.
1t is afraid of nothing. 1t is classed by
naturalists as porpoise, but is true
whale. The back fins are six feet high,
and look like daggers. Seals are its
favorite prey. A pack will follow a
herd of swimming seals for weeks.
They will attack full-grown walruses
and rob them of their young. They
are strong and swift, and rarely cap
tured. The Malxab Indians of Wash
ington state are fond of their flesh
and fat. An orca has "a huge, conical
teeth. In Atlantic waters they are
often useful to fishermen, in driving
schools of fish ashore. Swimming seals
attacked by killer" whales are so dis
tracted they sometimes approach YES
sci as if for protection. During the
season when fur seals breed on the
Pribilov islands, in Behring sea, the
ocean is filled with hungry orcas, wait
ing for the pups to take their first
swimming lessons. They even rush
upon them among the rocks and fire.
quently become stranded themselves.
Sometimes an orca is captured with
20 young seals in its stomach. DIR.
Stejneger and Mr.. Lucas, the two sci
entists of the National museum, who
have gone to the Behring sea to brand
some seals experimentally, are to study
the habits of the orca, their most dead
ly enemy.

two gates, one situated at each end of
the trough.
In Webb's time the mill was fitted up
with crude apparatus and ground only
corn, no wheat being produced in those
early times. AS the years went by,
however, Bardstown became the princi-
pal town in this section of Kentucky,
and Nelson became a wheat-growing
country. This naturally increased the
business of the mill, and necessitated
better equipment of machinery. So
it was fitted up with the finest French
burrs and improved apparatus. After
this it turned out splendid grade of
-four, which soon gained wide reputa-
ton, and during the winter months the
machinery was never idle day or night.
Much of this product was shipped on
fiatboats to Louisville, Memphis, Baton
Rouge and New Orleans.
In 1861 Charles +. Brown purchased
the mill and introduced further inn
provements, and Notwithstanding there
were several other mills in the country
at that time, he did the grinding for
the people for a radius of 20 miles.
MIR. Brown rapidly accumulated money.
In 1870 he had the old over-shot wheel
taken down and a turbine wheel put
in. This venture. however, proved a
failure, there not being sufficient water
to successfully operate such an outfit,
and the old wheel was replaced. Short
" after this change was made Mr..
Brown died, and the mill property was
sold to Mr.. Philip Doran, who owns
it at the present time.
What adds greater interest to the
history of the old mill, says the Louis
vile Courier-J ournal, is the fact that it
figured in an engagement during the
late war. In the summer of 1868 Gen.
John II. Morgan, the noted southern
raider, invaded Bardstown and sur
prised detachment of federal soldiers
under the command of Capt. Sullivan.
These soldiers were encamped in the
valley surrounding the old mill, and
Morgan swooped down upon them and
succeeded in capturing number of
them without firing gun. However,
the remainder of the federals, together
with their commander, succeeded in
reaching the old mill, wherein they
took refuge. and. from numerous aper-

only somewhat larger, is a sort of
finger of gutta-percha.
The physician puts the hearing tubes
in his ears, and, holding the metal box
in his left band, places the end Of the
gutta percha finger upon the chest of
the patient whom he wishes to exam
inc. Then he taps the box lightly, and
vibration is conveyed to his ears, If
the gutta percha finger rests upon the
heart, which is solid organ, the sound
will be dull; if over one of the lungs, it
will be hollow.
AS the gutta-percha finger travels
over the body, the differences of sound
conveyed by the telephone enable the
operator to determine the precise out
lines of the liver, heart, lungs, etc.
With a crayon the physician marks
these outlines on the front of the
body, and then, turning the patient
around. he marks the same sort of out
lines on the back, tracing the spleen,
kidneys, etc. When his task is COM
plete. the subjects trunk is covered
with a sort of map of his internal
works.
1t may be asked what such map is
good for, and that question can be easily
answered. Diseases in the vital organs
are apt to occasion alterations in their
size. If the telephone shows that the
heart is enlarged unduly, a guide is af-
forded for the diagnosis by the physi-
clan. Or, perhaps it may be found that
kidney has shrunk. There may even
be a displacement, aof some organ,
shown obviously and conclusively by
the body chart. Even if it were not of
practical value, the performance of this
new medical invention would be of
great interest to laymen.

ply throws on the switches, and the
express makes another circuit of the
platform.
At the exposition where the system
will be tested in transferring visitors
to different parts Of the grounds, it is
proposed to give the platforms and
trains a speed of ~ miles anhour. With
aplatform of the proper size there would
at that rate of speed be no inconven-
fence from the centrifugal force of the
circular motion. But with rapid train
the platform would need to be extreme
ly large, or people would be thrown
from the platform, and people on the
train would find it impossible to land.

OLDEST IN THE SOUTH.
The Ancient Water Mill OF Town
Greek. Kentucky.
IL Was Built Soon After the Close of
the Revolutionary War = During
the Civil War IL Figured In
Thrilling Episode.

An old water mill situated in a pic
turesque valley in the shadow OF Bards-
town, KY. is an object of interest, not
only on account of its great age, bit
for its entertaining history. This mill
is one of the oldest structures of the
kind south of the Ohio river, having
been built. as records in the county
clerks office show, Immediately after
the close of the revolutionary war by
Nehemiah Webb. Here with primitive
apparatus he ground grist for the fore
fathers Of the commonwealth. The
building is solid structure, 2K stories
high, half of stone and half of heavy
hewn logs, weatherboarded. The mill
is situated in deep valley, overshad-
owed by heavy foliaged trees. Its
foundation is washed by the waters of
a considerable stream, known locally
as the Town creek. 1t also has his
tory, for here it was that John Fitch,
the original inventor of the steamboat,
at one time sailed bis models.
In the rear of the mill, rising TO a
height of 30 feet or more, is an almost
solid wall of rock, which extends a
long distance up and down the stream.
Beyond on level with the summit of
the cliff runs the race that supplied
the power to run the mill. This race
runs parallel with a creek connecting
with it about 400 yards up stream. In
the palmy days of the old mill the race
drew it's supply of water from several
never-failing springs, as well as the
creek. The country at that time was
heavily timbered. and the supply of
water seemed inexhaustible. But as
civilization advanced the land was
stripped of its forests, the springs be-
came dry, and this, in great measure,
destroyed the old mills usefulness.
Near the terminus of the race is a
wooden trough, probably 30 feet in
length by two feet wide and four deep,
which led the water to the wheel, an
overshot 2s feet in diameter. The flow
of water TO the wheel was regulated by
