The vast avern containing a large lake
inhabited by blind fish, and whose sub
%terranean passages are filled with ma
lures handiwork. recently discovered by
hunters eight miles west of Red Bud,
ILL.,. was explored last week. An attempt
was made to reach the north end of the
cave. but after covering a distance of
about ten miles the explorers had to re-
turn on account of the lateness of the
hour. They discovered huge rooms con-
tanning innumerable s%talactites, stalag-
mites and waterfalls. Great rocks that
have been carved into a thousand fam
tastic shapes by water that has labored
for centuries to complete its work are
scattered about the cave. Huge and
beautiful stalagmites that have been
built by drops Of water falling in the
same place for ages extend thirty feet
from the floor to the rooA In some
room the %stalactites alone are to be
seen: they hang from the ceiling in great
punches. There are narrow passages in

Indicative Of the magnitude of this
country's export trade, its commercial re-
lations with foreign countries, and the
increased demand for it's goods are the
hundreds Of inquiries and. letters con-
corning American manufactures that
have been received at the Philadelphia
Commercial museums in the past week.
Importers from all over the world, from
Macedonia, in Greece, to Honolulu, have
sent lengthy communications requesting
advice howto satisfactorily negotiate with
American shippers and manufacturers.
Merchants in Copenhagen, Denmark, and
importers and commission merchants in
Rustchuk, Bulgaria, have also asked for
letters of introduction to this country's
leading manufacturers. According to a
letter. from Copenhagen, merchants
throughout Denmark are anxious to buy
electrical supplies, dynamos, cable wire,
arcs and cast iron pipes in this country.
Bulgaria, on the other hand, is in the
market for the following materials:
Photographs, iron bedsteads, bicycles,
cotton oil, drugs, salad oils, cotton waste,
raw cotton, yarn and all kinds of leather
used in making shoes

The three famous ~aravels which came
over from Spain during the worlds fair
are rotting in Jackson Park, Chicago,
for lack Of attention, and the park COM
missioners say it is only a matter of a
few years when they will have to be
taken to pieces and removed in order
that they may not become an eycsore.
The three ships, Santa Maria, Nina and
Finta. came under the care of the Field
Columbian Museum at the close of the
fair, and the historic vessels have been
anchored in the court of honor lagoon
and buffeted about by the high seas.
They have had no repairs nor paint, and
have sprung so many leaks that they
have filled with water and now rest on
the sand bottom. 1t is feared that a stiff
wind will soon blow them over on their
sides and that the park commissioners
will then have to take some action look
ing to their removal.

1t < said that there were at least 200,-
600 mustangs scattered over the plains
OF Arizona, New Mexico and Texas ten
years ago, and that now nearly all of
them are gone. 4 few were caught and
kept by the Indians in their reservations,
hut the wild horse, in his natural state,
is practically extinct. Three causes are
assigned for this: First, the better horse
OF the East, cheapened by the trolley car
and the bicycle, could be bought at a
moderate price, and the mustang was
shot by the stockmen as a useless con-
m Of pasturage; second, that the
breed deteriorated, and naturally died
out; and third, that they were shot and
made into canned beef" The ranch
men now breed and raise high-grade
horses, and find a ready market for them
not only in the Eastern states, but in
England and Germany for army use.
The Western climate makes them hardy,
long-winded and speedy.

A scientific observer, who has spent
much time in forest and jungle. says that
animals certainly talk. Perhaps it is
going too far to call it talking" but they
certainly have a way of communicating
with each other by sounds made with the
mouth. He had seen a herd Of monkeys
hold a conference before making some
move, and has heard a gorilla distinctly
call to its mate when it found some
choice berries. He one day saw some
gorillas approach a mans field to rob it,
and when they found that it had already
been stripped Of everything that they
cared for they laughed and guifawed just
as men would do if a joke had been
rlay>d on them.

PELICAN DAYS IN MISSOURI.

Queer Birds Gather in St. Charles
County in Monster Flocks.
There are great sights for bird lovers
at the lakes of St. Charles county: Mo-,
these spring days. The pelicans are pass
ing.
The pelican is the largest of all the mi
gratory birds of Missouri and the Missis.
sippi valley. Full grown, he is as large
as a big turkey, but for all his bulk he is
not physically or mentally awkward. He
can catch fish with all the cunning Of
men, and he is strong on his wings as a
great heights as an eagle.
The pelican is not known as a Missouri
bird. but he visits the state every fall and
spring on his migratory trips between the
North and South, and it is unlikely there
is another place in the United States
where the big bird is seen in greater
numbers than he may be seen at this
season in the lake district between the
lower Missouri and Mississippi rivers.
From Marie Temps Claire, thirty miles
above St. Louis. up the Missouri point to
Ling's lake, forty miles above, there is a
chain Of prairie lakes in which the pei
lean delights. He can fish in the shallow
and every spring and autumn he visits
these places, oftentimes coming in great
tlocks of many thousand birds. Fifteen
miles above St. Louis is a turf in the
Missouri. river known as Pelican bend.
1t is so named for the pelicans which
stop there twice a year and fill the day
with his noisy fishing.
The big-throated fisher is no ordinary
bird: He is bright. If he were not he
would have become extinct long ago. for
the poorest marksman could hit a pelican
If ne got within range of it, and the fields
are filed with hunters. ut a pelican is
seldom killed. He flies high and does
his ground work in isolated places. He

key knows an Indian from a red fox

Mr.. Bowers, chief Of the United States
fish commission, favors the japanese and
German systems of fish farming. He ar
CUES that there is no reason why a farm
or should not raise his W fish as well
as his W chickens or pork, and the
cultivation of fish for market in the in
terrier country he believes will soon be-
come a ixed and profitable industry. Fish
farming is possible wherever there is a
pond or a stream, and the government
fish commission will furnish q good sup
ply to start with. Fish ponds can be
created in villages and even cities wher-
ever there is running water, and Mr..
Bowers believes it to be practicable for
every housewife to raise her own fish.

About a year ago there was invented
an electric light buoy, the power for
which was generated by the motion Of
the waves. No practical use of the in
vention has been made until recently,
when one of the buoys was moored in
the North Sea off Bunsum, in Holstein.
There are very dangerous sands at that
place, and the tests that have been given
the automatic light have proven so salts
factory that it has been determined to
place them along the entire coast. Even
a slight motion of the wave generates
sufficient electricity for illumination. and
to regulate the clockwork in the interior
OF the apparatus, which shows and ex-
tlnguishes the light at intervals of one
half a minnie.

In compliance with a resolution adopted
by the House of Representatives, on
March 1907, the flag that for the past
fifteen years has hung above the speak
er's desk has been transferred to the
department Of agriculture, and will be
carefully preserved. 1t was presented by
the Woman's Silk Culture Association Of
the United States in 1885. This mag
niticent silken emblem, the product OF
the United States, spun and wove by
American machinery in the hands of
Americans, is in a perfect state Of preser-
walton. Its only defect lies in the in
suficiency of stars, there being but thir-
ty-cight, the number of states in the
Union at the time the flag was presented.
Speaker Henderson desired that this flag
should be replaced by one containing stars
representing the full number of the Sis
terhood of states at the commencement Of
the new century, and so the old flag came
down and a new silken banner, with
fcrty-hve stars, was draped in its place.

RUSSIA BARS ENGLISH COAL.
I'm portant Patent for Cokinc Peat
Device will Preserve Eoreeta

Device Will Preserve Forests.
Russia is about to try to do without
English Goa! and coke. Hitherto the i'm
pertation has reached the figure of about
2O,OOO,OO0 roubles yearly. A large fac
tory has been erected by. the government
near St. Petersburg, and a new patent
is to be worked there for the coking of
peat on a large scale. Experiments
have already given the most brilliant re-
suits, showing very little less heat-giving
power than is contained in coal.
The peat, after treatment, costs one
third the price of coal. Russia pos
sesses enormous tracts of peat, and the
future of the process is practically as
sured. The new peat is being used on
the Nikola railway, between St. Peters
burg and Moscow. Many OF the big
gest manufacturers from the interior Of
Russia have come to St. Petersburg, at
the invitation Of the minister of finance,
in order to-test the patent fuel. Three
reasons make this peat-cok;ng process Of
the greatest Importance to Russia. First
ly, it will put a stop to deforestation: Sec
ondly, it will enable the Ural mountain
industries to be developed, and thirdly,
the Russian feet will be entirely inde,

STEALS LIVE HONEY BEES.
Georgia Thief Got Away with a Novel
Bit of Plumber.

Bit of Plumber.
The thief is not very choice about what
he steals these days. Not very many
months ago the Macon Telegraph related
an instance where somebody had stolen
a red-hot stove from the Kitchen of a
Walnut street residence while supper was
being cooked. NOW comes q man who
stole four beehives in which were a myri-
ad of the little singers. It is we'll known
that a professional chicken thief has a
language by which he can persuade the
barnyard fowls to keep a deadly silence
at night while he picks over the lot of
them and inveigles into a sack those OH
which his fancy becomes fixed, but it is
rather surprising to hear that any man
can make bees understand that they must
not sting him as he lifts a busy hive to
his shoulder in the dead hour of the night
and marches across country with it.
This is what has been done. however.
In a neighborhood through which Ross
street runs a bee farm was robbed night
before last and four big hives were car
ried SO far that the bees have not vet
found their way back to their old homes.
1t is said that when bees want to 90 to
any particular place they rise in the air
and circle around until they find the prop
er direction, and then they make what is
commonly known as b line" going
