QUEER PLACE FOR A NEST.
In a stack of Fagots Six Feet BehInC
"a Target.

In stack of Fagots Six Feet Behind
Target.
What will ornithologists, poets, low
ers and classical scholars do or say
about the strange story which is told
as follows in knowledge: At Gran
brook, \ Kent, there is a rifle range,
which has been used by the local vol
unteers for rifle practice. and at a dis
tance of about six feet behind the tar
gets there has been built a large stack
Of fagots which serve to stop the spent
bullets. This year pair Of nightin-
gales selected the stack as a site for
their nest, which they built in the in
terror at a distance OF about fifteen
inches from the surface Of the front
facing the targets, about four feet
from the ground, and almost in a di-
rect line with the center of one of uAe
targets, which are constructed of can
vas and allow the bullets to pass
through directly into the fagots. IN
that situation the. birds built their
nest, hatched their eggs, and reared
their young, literally in a midst Of a
storm Of bullets, one of which ulti-
mately proved fatal to one of the
Youngsters. The correspondent who
sends this extraordinary tale, Mr.. J.
Herbert Allchin. is citizen of Maid
stone, and had his information direct
ly from Color 8ergt. w. Cogger of the
Maidstone company First West Kent
rife volunteers, who quite seriously
and solemnly deposes that, while day
after day acting as a marker, he had
every opportunity of watching the pa
rent birds. who were engaged in feed
ing their young. Sergt Cogger AYERS
that while he was in the butts at least
400 bullets we're fired at the target and
the wood in the fagots was splintered
i'm every direction round the nest, but
the little brown parents never for an
hour LETT their beleaguered home, not
even when an unlucky bullet slew one
OF the aedglings but fearlessly and
faithfully brought up their surviving
young ones, and flew away with them
at last to the peaceful and sunny re-
treats where nightingeles hide until
spring brings back the daffodil and the
bluebell and the May bushes are full
OF the scented silver which nightln-
gales love.

Thousands have tried from time imme-
mortal to discover some efficacious remedy
for wrinkles and other imperfections of
the complexion, but none had yet sue
ceeded until the Misses Bell, the now fam
GUS Complexion Specialists, of 70 Fifth
Avenue, New York City, offered the pub
lie their wonderful Complexion Tonic.
The reason SO many failed to mako this
discovery before is plain, because they have
not followed the right principle. Balms,.
Creams, Lotions, ETC., never have tonic
effect upon the skin, hence the failures.
The Misses Bells Complexion Tonic has
a most exhilarating effect upon the cuticle,
absorbing and carrying Off all impurities
which the blood by its natural action is
constantly forcing to the surface Of the
skin.. It is to the skin what vitalizing
tonic is to the blood and nerves, q kind of
new life that Immediately exhilarates and
strengthens wherever applied. Its tonic
effect is fclt almost immediately, and 1t
speedily banishes forever from the skin,
frccklcs, pimples, blackheads, moth
patches, wrinkles, liver spots, roughncss,
oilincss, eruptions, and discolorations Of
any kind.
In order that all may be benefited by
their Great Discovery, the Misses Bell will

INTERESTING MANUFACTURING
INDUSTRY IN OPERATION
A, Lagoon, the, Waters Of Which. Are
seventy-Two Per Cent Salt With
a Salt Bottom

REDONDO, June 22-The Redondo salt
works have opened and are now In full OPP
Grafton, with daily output of several tons.
The plant is situated on the lagoon just
north of town. The water of this lagoon,
while it lies within 100 yards of the ocean
is much more salt. In fact, the lake holds
all the salt that water will retain in solu-
ton, being 70 per cent. Beneath the bed of
the lake Is a large deposit of salt rock and
experiments in drilling to depth of twenty
feet fail to penetrate through it. Thus
there Is at hand, a seemingly inexhaustible
supply of salt which has only to be evapo-
rated and refined when it becomes the staple
article of commerce. Three processes are
in operation here; one is to separate por
ton of the lake from the main body by
building dams, allowing the sun to take up
the water, leaving the salt in the bed of the
lake in large crystals the size of marbles.
This is the crudest method and produces the
coarsest quality of salt. Another process
utilizes the sun to evaporate the water from
large watts. BY this method a cleaner and
yet finer grade of salt is produced. Thd
finest table salt, however, is manufactured
with machinery, heat for evaporating pur-
poses being furnished from coal or oil fires
applied to large metal watts. the salt after
wards being dried in a large cylinder and
finally sifted through boiling doth. This
new Industry bids fair to increase the COM
