Those who have made study of the
subterranean streams of Indiana and
Kentucky have advanced the theory
that away below the surface of In.
diana-in at least the southern portion
there is II secondary great system
of waterways and subterranean riv-
crs. Some geologists of note have con
cured in this theory. 1t Is known
that such streams do exist in the eX-'
treme southern section. Wyandottc and
other caves owe their origin to these
streams. Three years ago subter-
ranean stream was found running
under Rush County. almost seventy
miles northeast. The water can lie
heard roaring through the passage
ways, and ut times the course seems
to be overtaXed. 1t evidently flows
great distance from the Northeast
and probably has its source in the
st. Lawrence River system. At Eli
glish Il flood resulted in the discovery
of another lost river. 4 new cavern
was opened by the water in Crawford
County.
The attractiveness of Lost River and
its tributaries is enhanced greatly by
the wlerd. wild scenery of Orange
County. There is no section of the
State where the scenery is more strk-
ing ana diversified.
Near the mouth of the river are the
famous West Baden and French Lick
Springs, which throw off water
brackish in taste and greencast in
coler, which has become noted over
'he entire orld.--Indianapolis Press

:EATHER MAKING.
Trade That Gives Employment 60 Many
Women and Girls.


"From July TO November is our
busiest season." said leading manu-.
facturer of feathers in New York io
the writer "and for the next five
months there will be steady employ
ment for the 1000 girls and women
who work at the trade in this city.
The designers and skilled hands. who
are much sought after, earn from $25
to $50 a week, while the beginners, or
girls who twist paper round the wires
and work at the simplest steps in the
process can make from S1.50 to $500
n week 1t takes an intelligent and
wide-awakc girl about two years to
learn the business, longer to become
expert. but once she has acquired the
knack she Is sure of earning good
wages all the year round. Most of the
feather makers also learn the art of
flower-mnklng. and when the feather
business gets dull In the fall they have
another trade at which they can work
during the winter and spring months.
I'm New York the trade in feathers
amounts to millions of dollars annu-
ally, and the supply of song and other
gay-plumaged birds has decreased TO
such an extent within recent years
that many substitutes have had to he
used. Some of the finest feathers are
now made of silk and cotton waste.
They have quilts made of celuloid
and when dyed and skillfully curled 1t
would take an expert to detect them
from an ostrich or any other expensive
feather which they are made to imi-
tate. The utilization of poultry feath-
ers for millinery purposes has also
proved a great success. as many
breeds of fancy chickens, ducks and
geese have remarkably beautiful fcath
ers. shimmering with gold, green and
blue. and tinged with metallic luster
of unusual beauty. Even the common
barnyard fowl is made to furnish ma.
terial for the market. BY dyeng
such feathers they can be made to i'm.
itate the brightest plumes that ever
graced the back or topknot of trop-
ical bird. The plumes are artlfullly
made up by hand. each individual
feather being colored beforehand. and
then worked into an exquisite design.
Some of these plumes are so gorgeous
that they are more In demand than
the genuine plumes of wild birds.
"A remarkable machine is in use for
plucking the feathers from dead poul-
Try. and by its use the feather indus
try has been greatly simplified and ex-
panded. The dead bird is placed on
a table. and the picker strips ii of all
feathers in just half minute. Then
the plucked feathers are passed rapid
ly along to another small room where
II current of air sorts the very fine
from the heavy ones. The very light
est and softcst feathers are used for
pillows. but all the others find some
use in the millinery trade. 1t is now
the fashion to have cloaks and mantles
made out of light poultry feathers. and
some handsome pieces of wearing APP
parel have been made in this way.
Such feather cloak is more eXpen-
sive than sable or seal."-Washingto

Some Good Indian Soldiers.

English experts believe that the
Goorkha, who Is native of Nepaul
India. is the best soldier in the world.
Sturdily built, of an average height
of five feet three inches, the Goorkha is
equally good in hand-to-hand contest
with the bayonet or at long range with
the rife. The Shlkh ranks second as
soldier of the native contingent. He
comes from the Puniaub, averages six
feet in height and is supple, sinewy
ana athletic as the stereOtyped Red
Indian. The Sikhs and Goorkhas are
ancient enemies and did their best to
eXterminate each other In the Sutlei
war of 1916. The Pathnn probably
stands third in the native list as IL war

CLAIMS AGAINST TURKEY.
A Belief That an Effort Is Being Put Forth
by the Porte to Compromise
Them Unotiiclally.

Washington, May lit is said at
the state department that Mr.. Girls
com, the United States charge at
Constantinople, has not yet acquaint-
ed the department with the nature
of the reply made by the porte to his
last representation touching the
American indemnity claims, so it is
presumed that he himself has not yet
received the answer. There Is some
reason to believe that a powerful eff
fort is being put forth by the Turk
ish government to compromise the
missionary claims unotiicially. Va
rious methods to achieve this have
oeen suggested, but the one which is
looked upon as most feasible is that
connected with the building of a war
ship for Turkey in the United States.
If the claimants choose to receive the
amount of their claims from an Amer
lean ship builder instead of through
the state department, thereby remov-
ing from the department the basis
for further prosecution of its de-
mand upon the porte, some interest
ING points of international law might
&c raised. 1t would seem that once
committed to the state department,
an international claim cannot be
withdrawn without the consent of
the department, though whether
there would be a refusal in this case
cannot be stated.

came to close at Mechanics hall
last night. The banquet brought to-
gether nearly 1000 people at the ta-
bles, while twice that number came
into the hall afterwards and listened
to the speeches. Interest in the
speeches centered in that of WI Ting
Fang, the Chinese minister to this
country, and his every word was lis
tened to with the greatest attention.
Perhaps hardly less interesting were
the words Of Secretaries Root, Gage

THE PHILIPPINE WAR.
About 800 Of the Enemy Killed Recently
In North NOcOs-The Insurgents
Burn BatOc.

Manila, April 27.-About 800 Of the
enemy have been killed recently in
North llocos, including Dodd's fight
and the attack ON Batoc April Is,
when from 600 to 700 rebels, quar-
ter of whom were armed with rifles,
determinedly attacked the Ameri-
cans, charging their positions and
fighting at close quarters. The en-
gagement lasted all the afternoon,
the enemy burning the town, but they
were repulsed after the arrival OF
American reinforcements.
The insurgents generally are ag-
gressive in that province. They cap
tured an American provision wagon
near Lapo.
The Americans having obtained evil
dence that the alcaldes of Lapo, Mays
ingal, Cabugas and Sinait were hold
ing treacherous communication with
the insurgents, imprisoned them and
burned LapOS Town nail.
There have been several minor
fights in the province, including an
attack by 100 insurgents on Lavag,

SO were captured.
The officers report the men of the
Forty-third regiment and Third cav
airy behaved splendidly under very
trying circumstances.
There were no American casualties
at Batoc, where $50 insurgents were
killed and 10 captured.
Troops Home from the Philippines
San Francisco, April 27.-The first
detachment of regular troops that
have served two years in active serv-
ice in the Philippines, to be returned
to this country, arrived here yester-
day on the transport Sherman from
Manila via Nagasali. They are the
home battalion of the Fourteenth
regiment, the greater part OF the regi-
ment being made up from men re-
cruited from San Francisco and DIFF
ferent sections of California. The
Fourteenth infantry was the first
regular regiment to leave this city
for Manila. They were assigned to
service under Gen. Macarthur and
were sent to Manila accompanied by
the cruiser Charleston, taking possess
sion of Guam in the name of the
United States en- route. Within the
past year the Fourteenth did some
fierce fighting in the Philippines.
The Sherman is held in quarantine,
as the vessel left Manila when the
plague was raging.
In addition to the Fourteenth there
are on the Sherman $50 sick men, in
GLIDING 90 insane. There are 50 cabin
passengers and in all 1853 soldiers on
the steamer. The Sherman also
