A Summer Ice Hole.

Near Coudersport, Potter County,
Pennsylvania, is a hole in the mountain
from which flows freezing air. A man
was sinking a we'll for mineral wealth.
At the depth of twenty feet he was
compelled to quit or freeze About May
ice begins to form in it, and continues
to freeze until October. There is no
ice in the hole in winter. The warmer
the day, the more ice there is in the
nine The air becomes more frigid the
closer one goes to the cavern. There
is no water In the bottom Of the shaft,
but the water dripping down from it's
sides freezes. The ice begins to form
less than foot from the top and coats
the sides Of the shaft several inches
thick. What causes the intense cold
and where the air comes from are Ques-
tions that have not been satisfactorily
nswered.-Philadelph Press.

stone constructions are fine specimens
or engineering. Immense warehouses
and the best Of machinery afford every
facility for the care and handling Of
freight. In proportion to it's shipping
trade no city excels Buenos Ayres in
the extent and adequacy Of it's dockage
and warehouse facilities. But the gov
ernment made the mistake Of building
a port without an entrance to it. The
docks might as well be rickety wooden
piers for all the good they do the larger
shipping. which Is unable to reach
them.
Ihe money was spent without study
Ing the peculiar conditions of the
great river on which the city stands.
The idea prevailed that the first thing
to be done was to provide shore accom-
modatlons for the largest vessels and
then dig channels miles out into the
estuary so that they might reach the
port. study was given to the yaria-
Dle currents of La Plata; no heed to the
fact that enormous quantities of silt
oNA ~Ae~A - VIC AANC4 " iAtt1S. CuduuelS
were dug right across the currents and
the result was extremely disappointing.
One might as well expect I'd keep a
way through a snowdrift open by dig
ging across the direction Of the wind
The channels filled or partly filled with
silt nearly as fast as they were dug. A
great deal Of money and labor have
thus been expended without percepti
BILE advantage. The result is that the
approaches to these splendid docks are
lamentably inferior to their capacity
!; and to the demands Of commerce.
The government has now begun to dc
what should have been done in the first
place. 1t has appointed an expert com
mission to make a thorough study of al
the conditions that must be met in pro
vldlng an adequate entrance to the port
After mastering the details of the pc
cullar and as yet little understood river
regime the commission is expected to re-
port q practical plan for the construc
t1on Of an enduring approach. The
problem may be a difficult one, but it is
believed that photographic engineering
can solve 1t. Buenos Ayres has hopes
that before very long it will have not
only tirst-class docks, but also adequat t
facilities for reaching them.-.NeV

stolen property is quite able to deal
with him without the expense Of a
trial. A mild mproof, or, in severe
cases, a few well-directed kicks prove
salutary penalties. At the last term Of
the Circuit Court there were only three
cases on the docket, and all Of these
were civil suits. In twelve years the
States Attorney has had but one
crime of Importance to prosecute, and
that so shocked the county that it has
not vet recovered. This was the trial
Of a 13-year-old boy for the killing of
his father.
Calhoun County boasts of its red
checked apples and is proud Of It's
pretty girls. Nowhere in the State are
there to be found finer-looking women.
The girls are Of the old-time type in so
far as they are good housekeepers.
They know how to make currant 1elly
and apple butter; they can bake bread,
and they are adopts at pies While the
golf stick has not yet displaced the
churn- -dasher and the broom, the girls
have plenty of amusements. They can
ride like Dianas, and they are able to
manage the most spirited teams. There

been often used for the sake of their
emotional effect by many sensitive peo-
ple-notably, for instance, by Wagner,
who, in accordance with the REQUIRE
ments of the music he was composing,
clothed himself in garments Of divers
c0lors. It Is not, therefore, astonishing
to learn that perfumes act in just the
same way as either light or sound, thus
proving the close relationship which ex-
lists between the senses; for. r,.while light
makes it's direct appeal to the eyes and
sound to the ears, perfumes appeal only
to the nOstrils.
Working out this perfume theory. it
has been found that the heavy scent
| of altar Of roses, which is such q ia.
vorite with many people, has rather the
effect Of producing tears, while on the
other hand ambergr1s, which nearly as
many people find very disagreeable
has the power Of driving away the
''blues" and Of clearing the brain, max.
ing the mental faculties quicker and
l1velier. Musk in very small quantities
is a tonic, while cltron and aloe are
soothing to the nerves, and civet pro-
duces feeling Of drowsiness, which
sandal wood dissipates. Everybody
knows that light and sound both owe
their intrinsic properties to the rays
which form them and it is by no means
improbable that things that smell also
owe their power to exactly similar con
ditions.

Diamonds Said to Be Alive.

A diamond is as much alive as man.
Thus declares Professor Won Schroen
of the Naples University. According
to him the so-called inorganic bodies
possess quite as much life as organic
ones. He also claims to have photo
graphs of the chief events in the life Of
a crystal, from it's birth inward. One
Of the most curious Of these is thus de-
scribed: "The crystal meets another
one from a different mother. The two
strike at each other; they fight, strive
and clasp with each other. It is war
to the death. It is a case Of the survi-
val of the tittest. One must die. But
no two crystals from the same mother
ever fight, no matter when they meet" }"
In which particular crystals seem to be
superior to human beings.

A UNIQUE COMMUNITY.
Calhoun County, ILL.,, Has No Debt,
Crime, Nor PauDers,

Calhoun County, situated on PENN
sula which for fifty miles divides the
waters Of the Mississippi from those Of
the Illinois, is proud OF many distinc-
t1ons that make it the most unique
county in all the great State Of Illinois,
1t has no debt, no crime, no paupers
and no prisoners. It has set its face
against many modern improvements,
and attributes it's Utopian conditions
largely to this fact There are no the
aters, no telegraphs, no water works,
no street cars, no pavements, no fac
tories, and no railroads. No automobile
has ever penetrated to it's Businesses,
and no golfer has ever made his little
ball spin over it's green sod. There is
not a photographer within the limits Of
the county. Foreigners are barred out
as if by 4 stone wall. There is not a
Chinaman or an Italian on the census
list. The shiny collar and the hand
organ are unknown.
Petty crime is almost unknown. Now

tached to the German legation. The
Baron was also principal of an interna
tional school Of languages, for Germans
do not think it beneath them to turn
their talents and accomplishments to
account, even though they may be pos
sessed Of wealth. The handsome young
Baron was 35 years old when he first
met the beautiful American girl. They
fell in love at first sight. When the
Baroness Won Orendorff took her niece
abroad, the baron followed, and their
little romance had for a background
many European countries. There was
a wedding by and by in Germany, and

Fender Facts.

A series Of letters printed in today's issue
regarding the efficacy of the tenders now In
use on the local street cars should receive
careful attention by the authorities. 1t Is
stated in these letters that the fender-trip
levers have in very many cases been dis
carded by the motormen or lost, and that II
is impossible on such cars to operate the
tenders successfully. This Is rather sert-
Gus proposition. The fender Is worse than
useless If incapable of being dropped in an
emergency to the level Of the tracks, so as
to pick up body. Attention is also called
to the fact that bent and broken tenders
are permitted to remain in service, menac-
Ing life and limb by protruding over the

on the republican side, and was caught
up by the democrats in their speeches on

1t is reported that we are shortly to have
a statement from Admiral Dewey clearly
defining his attitude toward the political
Issues of the day. 1t Is to be prepared with
care-with all the greater care because Of
the unconventional and ingenious an
nouncement of his candidacy for the presi-
dency. The admiral, 1t is considered, fired
that time before he was ready. This next
time he is to redeem himself, and leave no
doubt in anybodys mind to just where
he stands and just what kind of a President
If elected he will make.
But may not this statement be prepared
with too great care? If it shows too much
political knowledge. too much political wis
dom. for a man who has been sailor all
his life and never thought of holding
political office until few months ago, will
the country be impressed with It? Will not
the question of It's real authorship at once
overshadOw the statement itself? Will not
the public set about determining by an ex-
animation of the document who the ad-
ndrars hackers are? Will not the long
headedness of Mr.. Smith be detected in one
paragraph, the shrewdness of Mr.. Jones in
another. and the nice distinctions of Mr.
Brown in another?
This. Of course. would rob the statement
OF much weight The statement, as one
may see. should bear distinctly the stamp
OF the man The politicians may laugh
as they please. but Admiral Dewey an
nOunced his candidacy In a characteristic
fashion. He has set. as it were, pace for
himself. He should keep this I'D. If he
does not. but begins now to hold back. and
balance his words. and fathom with choice
phrases the mysteries of finance, trusts and
expansion. he will lose his individuality
The suspicion will arise that he has fallen
into the hands OF machine men and Is be-
ing groomed for the presidency.
Between the time of his first election to
the presidency and his appearance here to
be inaugurated. Mr.. Cleveland. who was
personally unknown to the majority of the
leaders of his party. was interviewed on
public questions largely for their benefit
They wanted to know just where he stood
on the issues which they considered of the
first importance. He had had but little
time 10 prepare himself, for he was very
