ONE OF NATURES WONDERS
The stone Woman OF WinRen, In New
South Wales.

In New South Wales. near Wingen. a
natural curiosity is observable. This
is an object popularly known as the
Stone Woman of Wingen. The spur Of
a mountain range, known as Salisbury
Crag terminates in a bold, bluff head
land about 700 feet above the level OF
the valley. which it comman nds, the pro-
file assuming the form of a gray stone
woman of enormous dimensions sitting
with her back against the cliff, her
head separated from the top and her
feet hidden among the trees which
grow up to the bottom of the cliff.
On her knee there is resting an open
book. which she is not reading, but in
stead is gazing forever with stead
fast. unchauging look down the beauti-
ful valley of the Hunter. From where
the feet Of the stone woman rest among
the towering trees that grow around
the base of Salisbury Cra@ to the
summit of her head must be about 900
feet, so that if she were to stand up
straight some day she would be about
800 feet high If the proper point or
view be chosen the pose of the figure
is perfect in its magnificent simplicity.
At Wingen also is to be seen the only
burning mountain to be found in Aus
trala and the only one not of volcanic
origin known. The summit is 1920 feet
above sea level. and it is easily reached
from the township. 1t is supposed to
be an immense coal seam. which has
in some unaccountable way become
ignited and has been burning ever
since When first discovered during
the early days of settlement. the abor-
iginals of the district explained in their
own rude fashion. that the mountain
had been burning in the days of their
| forefatherS; thar. as far back rs they
| could remember there had always been
| the big smoke.
The course of the fire can be traced
! Il considerable distance by the trans
verse rents or chaSmS occasioned by
| the falling in of the ground from I'M
| der which the coal had been consumed.
From years end to years end fumes
| of smoke are continually issuing from
the sides of the mountains. the surface
! OF which is i'll many places covered
with a Sulphurous deposit. In the vi
! ciIity Of the openings from which the
| blush rings of smoke issue the ground
| is hot to the touch, the vegetation with
which it was originally covered having
| disappeared. and sticks thrust into the
! wl-nund speedily become charred. if not

\ prominent public official began to
show signs of badness, and then rather
surprised his friends by appearing
with sleek, we'll l-groomed crop OF
dark hair. For some time no one suS-
pected u wig. But q few days ago he
appeared with the top of his head
covered with the usual dark brown
hair but sharp line, from the tips
of the ears, marked a strong contrast,
for the hair below the line was of the
bright golden hue which is the pride
of the chemical blondes
1t was found out that the man found
his natural hair was turning gray and
desired to make it match the wig, SO
he invested in 4 preparation warranted
to darken the hair, and in the secret
of his own room applied it. But. Ow-
ing to some strange chemical combina-
ton instead of making the silvered
hair dark it made the dark hair golden,
and so far the unfortunate man has
found nothing that will counteract the
striking contrast, SO he is compelled to
endure no small amount of chatting
from his friends. Philadelphia Record.

Angling Extraordinary.

At Winchester it is quite common
thing to see men fishing through the
street gratings. Under High street
there flow several streams which ulti
mately discharge into the River ltchen,
a noted trout stream. These streams
receive the storm and surface water
from the street by means of the ordi
nary street grating. The line is
dropped through and fastened to the
end of stick small enough to go
through the CRATE. When the fish is
hooked the line and stick are dropped
through the grating and the fisherman
rushes to the point where the stream
emerges from under the street and is
there able to recover his line aud land
his fish.-Pastime Review.

Tip TO Boarding Houses.

Wood is to be the newest food. says
Heinrich Reh a professor of chemistry
in Berlin. He has secured Il patent
upon Il form of animal fodder which
has sawdust as its chief ingredient. He
argues that animals have decided
liking for young shoots, roots of shrubs,
tree bark and other heavy food of the
same nature, and, since experiments
have proved that the nutriment con
tained in such growth remains in it
even after it has become wood, he OBJ
serves that with little salt and water
added to it the sawdust will prove to
be highly nourishing diet.
He has statistics to prove it. Pine,
birch, poplar. alder accacfa, beech and
walnut woods and straw have been an
alyzed chemically by him. and he finds
that the wood has vastly more albu-
men, nitrogen and fatty substances
than the straw The inventor claims q
very cheap cattle food can be prepared
in this manner. to which may be added
potalo peelings, corn husks and shells
of grain, and the residue from the
sugar beet after the sugar has been eX-
tracted.--Answers

rne OLD TATTOO.

All the glory of heaven is excluded by gold
coins held too close to the eyes,
But none is deceived, save the gazer-the

with humanity yearning for light,
He can see but the gold that gilds fashion,
and. beyond, all is swallowed in
night.

Like the mountains, they're calling for
manhood, but too often they snm-

While round us the fair. Young flowers,

Their Importance to y County.

c. NJ. Kimbrough, of Muncie, Ind, is
of the opinion that, next to school
houses. good roads are the most impor-
tant need to Il county. Judge Taft"
he said. "a few days ago, in giving in
formation before the Senate committee
as to the condition of the people in the
Philippines, said that they had no
roads; that almost their sole means of
ntercommunication was by water, and
their civilization, whatever they have
is close to the water courses. Now, we
know something about the state of civ
ilizaton in the Philippines as compared
with that of other and older countries.
In Cuba one of the first things done by
our Government as Il means toward the
civilizng of it's people was to make an
appropriation which was applied to the
building of highways. so that the peo
pie could come together, could commu
nicate and exchange commodities and
ideas.'

Praise For the Corn Belt Roads.

Whenever Professor Ira o. Baker
takes time to write Il paper on the
subject OF improved roads. that paper
is fairly certain TO be interesting read
ing. Why it is that the idea of good
broken stone or gravel highway so
arouseS his ire. the Engineering Record
cannot state. The fact remains, how
ever. that the good roads enthusiast
who writes SO glibiy that the condi-
ton of the road indicates the state of
civilization and who reiterates the
praises of the stone roads of France
and England is an i'll informed man
in the eyes of this well known per-
sonage He has again drawn atten-
ton to this bias of mind by an enter
tanning paper on "ClvillZatlon and
Wagon Roads" presented at the re-
cent meeting of the Illinois Society of
Engineers and Surveyors 1t is hardly
necessary to state that the contention
of the existence of any intimate pres
ent relation between civilization and
good roads was vigorously combated in
the essay i'll question. The author
showed by statistics from an unmen-
toned source that France spends on
highways nearly four times rs much
per mile of road as Illinois, three and
onehalf as much per square mile and
about the same per capita, yet she has
only one mile of roads to each O.66
square miles of area, while Illinois has
mile for every O.o3 square mile. Peo-
pie who have but a moderate personal
acquaintance with the highways of the
two territories will feel that here is
IA case where figures are trying hard
to prove the inaccuracy of the old
adage to the effect that they can be
clasSed with the youthful George
Washington of cherry tree reputation.

The next move was an act OF diplo-
macy on the part of the corporation.
Gentleman Ed received through the
mails an annual pass. He tore it up.
Halverson received one and kept it un-
til he fully understood its nature.
When told that it permitted him to ride
over more than 1000 miles of country
he grinned. When Ed urged him to
tear the temptation up he srinned
again.
"Py gracious said he. "a railroad

Suicide on the Increase.

The mania for self-destruction IS on
the Increase
Life certainly presents. in most eOun-
tries. many more agreeable features
than it did generation ago. Yet the
desire to abandon it increases yearly.
The total number of suicides is swell
ing enormously. Is it increase of the
greater prevalence of nervous diseases ?
An English ali2nist, Mr.. Styles. has
been at some pains to investigate this
subject. with wholly discouraginS re-
suits. The story of his discoveries
may best be expressed in figures.
Some forty years ago the average
number of suicides was, in Sweden,
one to every $4,000 inhabitants: in
Russia. one to every 30 900 Inhabitants:
iii the United States, one to every To-
OO0 Inhabitants and in the great cities,
like London and st. Petersburg. one
to every 2l 900 inhabitants 1t is plain
that we made a dismal showing even
then.
In France, chosen for illustration be-
cause it offers the most startling reve-
latiOns. Mr.. Styles found for every
