ICE CAVES.
One of Them Near Flagstaff, Ariz..
Now Supplying Ice for Summer.

Several years ago man who was
wandering over the lava fields Of the
pine woods, nine mile from Flagstaff
discovered narrow slit in the lava
which appear to lead into a lateral
and much larger opening. The slit
was wide enough for man to
squeeze his way into it. At the
bottom, about 20 feet from the
surface, low chamber opened on one
side, which was found to extend about
800 feet. At the farther end the roof
was high enough for man to stand
erect. 1t was in the month of August
large bank of ice was heaped
against the farther wall, but the rest
of the cavern seemed to be dry.
In the following March the cave
was visited again and found to be as
full of ice as it would hold 1t is now
a source of ice supply for the hot
months of summer. The ice melts
away as the summer advances, but
early in the season there is large
amount, most of which is now
utilized. The ice is split into large
pieces, hauled to the surface with
block and tackle and carried away by
the CARLOAD.
In this hollow under the ground the
cold air settles in the winter months,
producing temperatures below the
freezing point. There are times dur
ing the winter when a good deal OF
water runs into the cave. This is
frozen solid, and as water continues
to flow in it is added to the frozen
mass until the cave is completely
filled with ice.
There are similar ice caves in
various parts of the world. One of
them is in Iowa. The Ice Trade
Journal recently published an &C.
count of deep crevices in the basalt
near Ehrenbreitstein, Germany,
where the air, even in midsummer, Is
below the freezing point at night and
ice is continually forming.-New

MISTAKES OF RRIDEGRooms
One Married His Sister and Another
His Sister-in-Law.

His Sister-in-LaW.
Some time since a bridal party an
peared at the registrars office Lang
port, and were ushered into the pres
ence of the official, who courteouslv
requested all save the two contracting
parties to be seated.
| Having elected from the couple
standing that there existed no imped-
lnent 10 their marriage, he proceeded
to call upon all present to witness
that they took each other for husband
and wife, and directed the groom to
place the ring on the brides finger.
At this the young man awoke as from
dream, and, pointing to one of the
witnesses, blurted OFT in the Somer-
| setshire dialect: "This be the Young
CONAN | wants to get married to over
there"
1t was then discovered that he had
married his own sister, so the parties
were rearanged and the ceremony was
commenced afresh.
Recently an obliging gentleman vol
unteered, with the consent of all
parties concerned, to take the place of
his brother whose banns had been
duly called, and who for some reason
was unable to keep the most import
ant appointment of his life He did
so, signing the register in his brothers
name, and thus Inadvertently es-
poused his sister-in-law
Last February two brothers, named
Emmerich and Francis Vous, married
two sisters, Katiza and Mary Rink.
The civil ceremony passed off without
hitch, but at church the party got
rather mixed, so that each brother at
the conclusion of the service found
that he had welded his sister-in-law.
At the feast that followed the brides
father promised to put matters right,
but when the time arrived he was sud-
denly called away and was unable to
fulfill his promise. Now the matter
will have to be dealt with by the
courts.
Julius ReinZ, an Austrian, can
speak but little English, and when
few months back he went with his be-
trothed to a London registrars office
to inquire whether his license and
other documents were in order, the
official, thinking that he wanted to
get married there and then, made the
twain one, the groom signing the mar
riage certificate under the impression
that it was a preliminary formality.
When, however, he discovered bis
mistake he returned to Vienna in dis
gust and a few days since procured an
annulment of his marriage.
Another Austrian, an official in the
civil service, corresponded with a
young lady whom he had never seen,
with view to matrimony; so ardent
ly, too, that the marriage day was
fixed. The parties met for the first
time at the altar, and, although be-
meath the brides thick veil the civil
servant was unable to recognize
clearly the features that had 80
charmed him in the photographs he
had received, he unsuspiciously per-
mitted the ceremony to proceed.
When the knot was irremediably
tied the lady raised her veil to dis
close the features of very mature
damsel. the elder sister of the girl
whom he had wished to wed. The
husband, was, naturally, furious and
has petitioned the courts for his re-
lease.-Tit-Bits.

Some idea of the effect which the
hot, dry weather OF the past six
weeks has had on the COWS in the
vicinity Of Madison may be obtained
from the following figures taken from
the daily milk sheet of the creamery
at the Wisconsin dairy school. The
milk received each week from the
80 farmers who patronize the
creamery daily is as follows:

This shows loss OF 46 per cent. in
the milk received from the same
number Of COWS from the same
farmers. There would naturally be
some shrinkage at this season of the
year as COWS are not generally
coming to- fresh during July. A loss
of nearly one-half of the milk in six
weeks, however, is much rr~ater than
the decline in the period Of lactation
would account for. The pastures are
as dry as a race track anG corn IS
not large enough to feed. \ fairly
good hay crop and ground feed is the
only thing that is keeping the COWS
alive just now. The following
figures show how the milk sent by
two patrons has rapidly diminished
