MYSTERY OF The 1OoK-
N WAS Hidden for Fi-- Years Before
Its Whereabouts Was
Revealed

Once in awhile something gu, Of

government clerks. which serves SC

sala clerk in the interior DEPART
ment, reports the Washington Star.
Occasionally, in all of the depart
ments, records or papers viii nvsteri-
ously disappear, and how they got
away or where they went remains al
ways an unsolyed problem
About five years ago a large book
containing the records used in one
OF the bureaus of this department
suddenly disappeared. How it could
have gotten out of the room without
hands was unaccountable. as it was
a bulky, heavy volume II was of
no value as salable article, and the
motive of the theft was as inexplic-
able as its whereabouts.
Dllgent search was made at once.
but to no avail. The search was not
given up, however, and was afterward
periodically made in hopes that it
would be found in an unexpected
place.
And it was found in such place
a few days ago One of the clerks
happened to look upon the seat of
the chair of another clerk-an elder
ly lady with poor eyesight-and there.
under a piece of outer covering. lay
the big book. The lady is short
person, and the book had faithfully
preserved its records and held her up
for five long and weary years with
out complaint There was a general
laugh at her expense, but the chief
was very glad ii was eventually found
in the Office.
'Ofncial papers are often blown
from the desks of clerks into the
street. Sometimes they are of impor-
lance. but usually they may be re-
placed with slight delay constitut-
ing the only loss
"A clerk carelessly laid five ten-dol-
lar bills on his desk in a room on
the Seventh street side of the former
post office department building on a
pay day few years ago. 1t was
during the prevalence of the high
wind preceding heavy thunderstorm.
a minute later the bills were taken
up by a gust of wind. anu went sail
ing in all directions high in the air
was never known. for none was re-
covered
THE clerk took his loss philosoph-
ically when he got over the shock.
and said that while he had heard of
it raining cats and dogs. he could
testify in any court that he had seen
it rain crisp new ten-dollar bills in
Washington.
Zone day. in this department. some
valuable papers disappeared. 1t was
thought they had been stolen. Sew
eral weeks subsequently they were
discovered under the corner of desk
occupied by temporary clerk. Sire
had thought them of no value, and
had placed them in this position to
preserve the equilibrium of the desk,
one of the rollers being lost"

Greaf Heat i'm TunneIs-

One of the most difficult preblema
connected with the construction of the
proposed tunnel under the Simplon
range in the Alps is that of keeping
down the temperature. The deeper we
GO under the surface of the earth the
greater the heat becomes. and since the
new tunnel viii run not much less than
1000 feet beneath the suRmit of Mount
Leone. it is anticipated that the temper
azure viii be as high as 1o4 degrees
Fahrenheit. During the digging of the
ST. Gotthard tunnel the temperature
rose to IS degrees. The heat affected
the health of the workmen. more than
half Of them were affected By disease.
The still more intense heat TO be en-
countered in the Simplon tunnel can
only be reduced by a careful system of
entilation--Youth's Companion.

HINTS FOR SUMNER.
What to Do to Garry the Dairy Cows
Through the Hot Season in
Good Condition.

Shade is almost as important in
summer as shelter from cold in win
ter. See that the COW has plenty of
feed and clean water while in pas
ture SO that she can fill her stomach
in a short time and then lie down
in the shade. chew her cud, enjoy her
self. and make milk
The cow must not have to travel a
long distance for water. If she does,
she viii go without it until she gets
very thirsty and feverisb. and then
drink until she is painfully uncom-
Portable. Both conditions are 1nfa-
vorabie for milk secretion.
If cow has to travel over a large
surface and take a good deal of time
to fill her stomach. the extra time and
energy expended viii cause a CORE
spending reduction in the flow of
milk.
Milking should always be done in
clean. airy place, free from all bad
odors. If in a stable. it should be
scrupulously clean, and have some de-
odorizer, such as dry earth. dry muck
land plaster, sawdust. etc. scattered
over the floor The best OF all is the
land plaster. which goes into the ma
nure. and is applied to the soil in
about as good a way as possible
It * better TO have cows confined in
stanchions. or otherwise. for milking.
to avoid their moving about. and 10
prevent accidents. 1t is also better to
have some kind of shelter. especially
when it rains--Farm and Home.

PERFECT COW STALL

ture of dairy work many years of study
and practical demonstration in our
own barn. After using many devices
and reconstructing them to do away
with imperfections. our plan for the
perfect COW stall'' resolved itself into
the plan illustrated j have seen large
number of stalls. but none that has 50
many good points as this one. Thou
sands of them are in use all over the
country, and wherever put in after the
plan herein described. have proven to
be more than satisfactory. The floor
may be made of wood or cement. Mine
is laid with oak with joints broken as
laid. allowing a drop of two inches in
the 61s feet. On the platform two
three by three scantling are laid run
ming the full length of the stable. Upon
this a board or floor IS inches wide is
put down with f1ange board facing COW
seven inches wide. a two by four post
five feet high is toe-nailed in one corner
of the manager. TO which both partition
boards and the fence in front of the
cow are nailed. The partition is four
feet high and 81 wide from outer edge
of the two posts. but it is only one foot
high in the managers past the five feet
post, so that, any large roughage can
be distributed. The opening for both
feed and roughage is IS inches. The
grain. ensilage or any cut feed escapes
readily into the 1S-inch manager, but
hay cannot. but rests against the fence
ard is eaten through it.
Many find the annex of a feed bin in
front an easy means of distributing
feed TO cows. The ditch is made wa
terproof and 16 inches wide. nine inches
deep next TO platform and'seveu inches
by walk. The latter may be made any
width or depth to suit the builder. The
distance from the ditch TO the fence
facing cow depends upon the size of the
cow TO occupy. The 61a feet is the right
length for 1.000-pound COW. with less
Or more accor6in ely. The fencing can
be placed as far toward the COW as her
size demands. so that she may be fenced
back to her ditch. insuring perfect
clea nliness and at the same time have
perfect and absolute freedom with her
head. not having to move backward
c. forward. to lie down or rise. Ar
engagements for watering with pans
bolted on sides of partitions can be
reaoily attaehed.-G. r. Scott to Ohio
Dairymen's Association.
