Echoes in Mammoth Cave.

Our guide asks us to keep silent;
then, lifting the heavy, broad paddle
with which he has been propelling our
boat, he strikes with all his strength
the fat side on the surface Of the wat
er. Instantly the subterranean thun-
ders of this underworld are let loose
From all directions come rolling waves
Of sound multiplied thousandfold, re-
ceding, and again returning with in
creasing volume, lingering for many
seconds, and finally dying away in
sweet, far-away melodies. Then, when
the last faint sounds have ceased, he
agitates the water with his paddle, and
asks us to listen. The receding waves,
reaching cavities in the sides of the
overhanging arches, break the stiffness
with sweet, bell-like sounds. Some
notes, striking the keynote of the rocks,
multiply the musical melody; some
notes are soft and low; others are loud,
almost with an alarm-bell clangor. This
music, such as cannot be heard else
where on earth. gradually dies away in
receding echoes, coming over the wat
ers from far-away hidden chambers.
The echo is not such as we hear above
ground or in buildings, but succession
Of receding waves Of sound. lasting for
about thirty seconds, and adding an in
describable melody to all sounds,
whether from shouting or from instru-
mental or vocal music.-Century.

A New Study at College.

A New study at college.
The Agricultural and Mechanical Col
lege Of Texas has begun to show that
it is worthy of it's double name by es-
tablishing a new industry which COM
bines in one the two interests of agri-
culture and mechanics. On June 8
they began work in canning factory,
and at the time the report was written
they had put up 1000 cans of peaches
and intended to put up as many more
This year they have not made their
own cans, but have bought them in
Baltimore, Nd, at cost of 212 cents
each delivered at the college. The cost
Of growing and gathering the peaches,
peeling and canning them, and cost
of cans is Ii cents a can. They expect
to reduce this another year, and to
have all the work done then by the stu
dents of the college. Now they do it
all but the processing and general di-
rections. The students are thus learn
ing an excellent business, which may
be made available almost anywhere in
that land of fruit, and at the same time
they are earning 1211a cents an hour to
help pay their college expenses. The
plant in use this year had cost up to
date the small sum Of $500. Possibly
they may enlarge it and try other fruits
and vegetables later On. 1t is an as
tonishing thing to think how this can
ming industry has grown, and how
many canned goods are used. 1t is
claimed that last year 100000 cans
of goods were put up in the State of
Indiana alone, and 100000 cans in the
Tinted States.

which is destined to take a prominent

fabrics, according to statements made

fiber which when spun surpasses in

usefulness as substitute for silk and
as a material for mixing with wool or
cotton-useful, too, for cordage sewing

is used in fabrics for clothing for agri-
culturists; it is in request in India as
material for stringing necklaces, and Is
the substance of the well-known pine

My wife is pure and faithful, she's al
ways good and true,
And her hairs like FURNISHED sunshine,
her eyes are honest blue.
She's the queerest little woman, she don't
mind this mix at all;
One sweetheart taught me how to pray
that He knows the sparrow's fall.
She's old and wrinkled, bent and gray;
love her like no other
One sweetheart that my wife don't mind
is my own, my darling mother.
The next one is a terror" full of happy,
childish glee,
And the picture is a sweet one when he's
at his ''grandma's knee"
He calls my wife Ibis mother" and we
know him as 'our boy"
So 1 can love this sweetheart and my
wife without alloy.
Oh, thou who guardeth the angels, hover
them with thy wing.
Grant all three Thy blessing in every lit
tie thing;
Guide me to know "the only way" so
when my life is past
I may join the woman, boy and girl at
Thy "gates of PEARL at last.

Sugar Juice Piped.

One of the marvellous accomplish
ments of the Utah Mormons Is their
beet sugar industry In the valley of the
Great Salt Lake, where $4,000, 600
pounds of white sugar are turned out
each year. Cheap as sugar is, the Nor
mons make a good profit in the manu-
facture of it, and largely because of
their ingenious device to deliver the
juice from the vats to the factories,
twenty-five miles distant. Instead Of
transporting it at what would be pretty
heavy expense, the Mormons pump the
juice from vat to factory in three
inch pipe. This enables the juice to be
made into sugar close to the producing
center, and saves a large amount of
money that would have to be employed
otherwise. in the transportation. The
beet sugar industry of these people is
in the hands of a company that appor-
tions to each farmer the amount of
land he may devote to, the raising of
the beet. The company pays cash divi-
dends regularly of 10 to 20 per cent a
year and dividends of something like
20 per cent on the stock.-New York

The Many Things that 1t Did Besides
Curing His Rheumatism.
"a few years ago Dad Wright, of
Salvisa, this State, had very remark
able experience with lightning" said a
gentleman from Garrard County, whose
stock Of good and true stories is always
large. His escape from instant death
at the time was miraculous. While
Fastening on foot through an open field
toward his home during a terrific thun-
derstorm he was struck squarely on the
head by an electric bolt. 1t stripped the
hair from one side of his brainpan, tore
the clothing from his body, and made
a crooked black stripe an inch wide
down his left side from head to foot.
When struck he bounced several feet in
the air and fell back upon the ground
as if dead. The shaft entered the earth
throwing up a shower of mud.
"At the time Wright carried in his hip
pocket loaded revolver. Every cham

woodwork was burned, and the metal
partially fused by the heat. His left
shoe was ripped from his foot. The un-
fortunate man lay senseless and naked
for several hours in the drenching rain,
but, incredible as it may seem, finally
regained partial consciousness and be-
gan to stagger uncertainty about over

tion when discovered.
'He was soon recognized, taken in
charge, and conducted to his home
where he was clothed and given proper
attention.
"As a result of the stroke his teeth
and toenails were loosened, his scalp
almost denuded of hair, and his hear
ing permanently impaired. On the 9TH
er hand he reaped an unexpected and
decided benefit. For years prior to the
occurrence here outlined he had been a
great sufferer from muscular rheumat-
ism, but never afterward felt twinge
of pain from that disease being COM
pletely cured of it by the y.rrible shock.
"The dark zigzag streak along the
left side of his body indicating the
SCARED path of the electric current,

Oleo Formula.

Notwithstanding the protests Of the
oleo trust and its friends in Congress,
the various formulas for making oleo-
margarine have been made public, and
they are at least interesting. One Of the
processes for making the kind Of butter
that is sold in Pennsylvania as dairy
product is thus described in the patent
office records:
"The process consists in first forming
a soap emulsion Of the fats or fatty
oils with caustic soda; then precipi-
tate the lyes; then applying chlorinated
alkaline lye or chlorinated gas to the
soap emulsion"
That sounds like a recipe for making
soft soap, but when the color is added
the result is gilt edge creamery" but

Another Milking Machine.

Recently we illustrated a machine
which would milk single COW and
transfer the milk to can. We now
show an apparatus which can be used
to milk whole herd of cows at once,
needing but two men to operate the ma
chinery. One man is stationed at the
reservoirs to watch the indicators and
operate the pumps when necessary, and
the other passes along the stalls, at
taching the teat cups and starting the
flow Of milk. At intervals are placed
receiving cans, which are connected
with the suction apparatus and also to
the teat cups. Direct pipes suspended
overhead connect the cans with the
vacuum boiler, and the teat cups are
also provided with a vacuum arrange
ment, which prevents the suction from
taking too strong a hold on the teat.
