Kennedy Mines.

The Golconda News says: But a few
wears ago Kennedy was enjoying a boom.
But it got started off on the wrong loot
and before it got well started the boom
busted. Notwithstanding the busted
boom the ore was still there and the
mines still rich but the trouble with
Kennedy's early history was that the
attempt to start it was on a limited cap
came and the method of treating the ore
WAS a failure. The ore is there and
needs but ii proper method OF treatment
and capital to development. Since the
mill closed down a few men have been
industriously at work and recent years
has seen a steady increase there SO that
today finds twenty or thirty men at
work.
Among the men whose faith was sub
lime was that OF j. A. Blossom who has
been working and shipping ore steadily.
A number Of new prospects have been
opened. a number OF new locations made
and some OF the abandoned mines have
become producers. A large shipment #
ore is being made to Salt Lake City right
along and good returns have resulted.
At present several mining deals are on.
Among moves on foot is Il steam wagon
road from Kennedy to Golconds and the
hauling of ore to Golconda and the snlelt-
ers. Tests have been made which show
that the ore can he worked to advantage
in Golconda and with the road complete
and a cheap method OF transportation
there can be no doubt that Kennedy is
assured a splendid future.
The County commissioners should
from Golconda to Kennedy. 1t opens up
another avenue of trade in the county
and opens up what most mining men
consider one the finest mineral sections
OF the county if not the state for the hills
about Kennedy are thoroughly mineral
lied. 1t is to the credit OF Blossom that
his staying qualities have been reward.
ed. His mine looks well and he has
hopes that he has struck u bonanza. At
present there are about thirty five mel
employed at Kennedy and as soon MS
capital gets in there, and goes TO operat-
ing in proper shape Kennedy will COME
DO the front as a rival OF Golconda.

When Democracy Will Die.

In reply to the repeated Republican assortit
the Democratic party is dead, some u
Hickory Democrat has put into verse Il
under which. and the time when Il
Democracy will die ind il is good enough for
TO print:
When the lion eats grass like an OK,
And the fishworm swallows the whale;
When the terrapins knit wooden socks,
And the hare is outrun by the snail;
When the serpents walk upright like men,
And the doodle bugs travel like frogs;
When the ~grasshopper feeds on the hen,
And feathers are found on hogs;
When Thomas cats swim In the air,
And elephants roosts upon trees;
When insects in summer are rare.
And snuff mover makes people sneeze;
When fish creep over dry land,
n mules on velocipcdes rides;
When foxes lay eggs in the sand,
And women In dress take no pride;
When Dutchmen no longer drink beer,
And girls get to preaching on time.
When the billy goat butts from the rear,
And treason no longer is crime;
When the humming bird brays like an ass.
And limberger smells like cologne:
When pillow shares are made out of glass,
And hearts of Illinoisans are stone:
When sense grows in Republican heads,
And wool on the hydraulic ram;
Then the Democratic party will be dead.
And this country not worth a d-n.

The Land of WindmiIIs.

From the Pittsburg Dispatch.
Great Tapping sails all over the land make
Holland look if a flock of huge sea
birds were just settling upon it. There are
said to be at least 10, 200 of these windmilis
in Holland. They are employed in saving
timber beating hemp, grinding corn and
many other kinds of work; but their prin-
cipal use is for pumping water from the
Iowiands into the canals and for guarding
against the inland freshets that so often
deluge the country. Many of the windmils
are quite simple affairs, but some of the
rev ones are admirable. They are so con-
structed that by an ingenious contrivancc
they present their fans or wings to the wind
in precisely the right direction to work
with the requisite power. In other words.

and leave his mill to study the winds and
make the most Of them without his assist

Electricity Stops Bleeding.

rom tEe ouICdsO
One of the most difficult of surgical prob
lens has always been the devsing of means
to stop excessive bleeding of patients dur
ing operations. The electric current has
been used for several years with a view to
bringing about that condition of heat which
is necessary in order to cause the blood to
clot and SO act as block to the mouth of
bleeding vessels, arresting hemorrhage.
This. indeed. has resulted in the utiliza-
ton of the electric cautery. as it is called In
certain operations, the platinum wire at red
or almost white heat even supplanting the
knife. because it burns through the tissues
and at the same time prevents the wound
bleeding to any great extent. This effect
of heat was, indeed. known to our ances-
tors, who used red-hot irons or boiling pitch
to scar the surface of the flesh after their
operations, thus causing an immense
amount of suffering to the patient, before
the days of chloroform.
A new adaptation of this use of electricity
for the purpose of stopping bleeding has
been devised by incloSing a platinum wire
in a pair of forcepS or other instrument the
wire being insulated in a bed of burnt pipe
clay, and as soon as the bleeding vessel is
seized by the forceps and compressed in the
ordinary way an electric current is turned
on. whose effect is so great that the tissues
and the walls of the blood vessels are all
agslutinated, SO that the blood is no longer
able to pass.

Michigan City doomed up in mirage to
the eyes of thousands of people along the
lake front in Chicago recently. Its white
buildings and its long sandy beach could
be so plainly seen by the naked eye that
the city, which is some fifty miles from
Chicago, seemed as if it We're no more
than few miles away.
The sight lasted some hours and was first
noticed about 3 o'clock in the afternoon
Spectators walking along Michigan ave-
nue. who saw the strange appearance on
the lake, and who cast their eyes south
ward, first thought that the far-away lake
city was some of the outbuldings of Hyde
Park or South Chicago. But their eyes
were deceived. and in looking steadily
through the smoke cast over the lake
about Chicago they We're convinced that it
was view Of the Indiana city which met
their gaze. Hundreds of people in the
streets filled the windows in large buildings
along Michigan avenue to witness the
spectacle. Guests of the different hotels
f1ocked to the windows. A number of
steamers but a few miles from Michigan
City coming from and making for the har-
Dor were also visible without the aid of
glasses. A pail of smoke lowered about
the outer harbor of Chicago, but when
gust of wind blew it away the mirage was
again seen.
This mirage is the second this year seen
in Chicago. The first one was about
month ago. when the groves and buildings
Of st. Joseph were visible.

This subject Is of extreme interest, and

Joshuas time, thirty-three centuries ago.
Plants taken from mummy cases in Egypt,
which must have been gathered more than
5000 years since, are practically of the
same size, and have the same appearance
as those growing today. Records of vim

practically the same dates as today Ac-
tual observations of rainfall for over 200
years in France show no change Observa-

1t is entirely probable that descriptions
of the cold in ancient times were much ex-
aggerated. Parnassus and Socrate have
snow at times, and, in earlier days, when
protection against the cold and snow was
much less than now, little snow would
go long way. The earlier voyagers from
Iceland, more than 1000 years ago, leaving
a land of almost perpetual ice and snow

BlRROwING ANIMALS.
Some Dig Holes Merely for the Love
of the Thing.

From the London Spectator.
Ventilat ton. or rather the want of it,
must be a difficulty in the underground
life of almost all mammals The rabbit
and the rat secure a current of air by
forming u bolt hole in connection with
their system of passages, but the fox.
the badger and many of the field voles and
mice seem Indifferent to any such precau-
ton. There is no doubt that whatever
gave the first impulse to burrow, many ami
mails look upon this to us most unpleasant
exertion as a form of actual amusement.
1t also confsrs a right to property.
Prairie dogs constantly set to work to
dig holes merely for the love of the thing.
If they cannot have suitable place to ex-
ercise their talent in they will gnaw into
boxes or chests of drawers and there bur-
row, to the great detriment of the clothes
therein contained. In an inciosed prairie
Cog town they have been known to mine

and buried the greater number. A young
prairie dog let loose in small gravel
toored house instantly dug hole large
enough to sit in. turned round in 1t and bit
the first person who attempted to touch
him. Property gave him courage, for be-
fore he had been meek a mouse.
1t is noticeable that the two weakest and
least numerous of our mice, the dormouse
and the harvest mouse, do not burroW, but
make nests, and that these do not multiply
maintain their numbers like the bur-
rowing mice and voles. But the fact that
there are members of very closely allied
species. some of which do burrow while
others do not. seems to indicate that the
habit is an acquired one.
In this connection it is worth noting that
many animals which do not burrow at
other times form burrows in which to con-
ceal and protect their young, or, if they
DO burroW, make different kind of q
more elaborate character. Among these
nursery burrows are those of the dog, the
fox and sand martin, the kngfiSher and the
