planned to him in vigorous English.
He looked the place over and then

Singular Illusion Visible In nm Iowa
Town When h sun shines.

Cedar Rapids, lowa.-Every day in
the year when the sun is shining a
mirage may be seen In this city. So
far as Is known this IL the only place
in the world where this phenomenon
of nature can be so regularly OBJ
served, although there are many
places where II takes place under
certain atmospheric conditions. The
mirage here Is on one Of the princi-
pal streets OF the city and makes the
street appear as II there was a pond
of water covering It.. So natural In
this appearance that many times resi-
dents Of the city who are not posted
as to the mirage have turned from
the street TO escape going through
the water that they thought they
saw in the distance.
Passing street r are so plainly
reflected In IL that II Is difficult TO
realize that there II no water there.
Prof. Bates ot Coe college accounts
for the mirage by the fact that the
avenue is slightly inclined from the
indicated point Of view. A person,
therefore. looks down Mt the mirage
Mt nm angle OF about thirty degrees,
and his line OF vision crossing the
homecoming rays Of light obliquely
ut that point, produces this singular
illusion.-Chicago Inter Ocean.

THEIR NEW HOME.

The building erected by the Grand
Junction Feed Company for it's use is
about completed and for the purpose
for which it is intended it could not
be better built The construction of
the building was watched with a
great deal of interest, as it was on an
entirely new and different plan from
anything ever built in the city. That
it will prove success. as building.

struction. is unauestionable.
The frame of the building is of
wood. 1t occupies all the space of
two lots, 5Oxl25. Over the frame of
the building was spread chicken wire
and upon this. after being nailed
tightly to the wooden frame work.
was spread cement. This cement con-
stitutes the roof as we'll as the sides
of the building and it is promised for
it that neither weather or water will
affect it in the least The wire net
ting is first placed ON the building to
give the cement when placed thereon.
or crack by expansion or contraction
from weather conditions.
There are two large storerooms
with nice and neat fronts. these are
plastered and have hard wood floors.
One of them is to be used as a wagon
repository. for the display of buggies
and fine carriages. the heavier farm
wagons being kept on the outside OF
the building under sheds.
To the rear of these two handsome
storerooms is the big driveway. Be-
hind this is place for the storage of
hay and grain.
Besides these imnortant storage
places are two fine offices and a large
indoor platform scale. On the whole
the new business building is one of
the most complete in the city.
