Lightning Creates Bottomless Pit.

Troy, Ill.,, Aug. 2.-During severe
electrical storm here cross-shaped
fissure was formed in the ground near
the school building. one arm of which
is forty feet long and about six inches
wide, and the other twenty feet long
and six inches wide. Elias Burke, a
carriage manufacturer whose establish
ment is in the vicinity, discovered the
freak of nature soon after the storm.
Where the arms of the cross converge
there Is a hole two feet in diameter and
a line $50 feet long weighted with lead
did not touch bottom. The theory is
advanced that bolt of lightning en-
tered the ground, yet those in the vicin-
ity assert that no unusual bolt of light
ming was noticed during the storm.

A Flying Hotel.

"The Golden State Limited, - recently
placed in service between Chicago and
California by the Rock Island System, is
beyond doubt the most practical train
ever constructed. Bath rooms, barber
shop, library, dining service, electric
lights, electric fans-in fact every con-
trivance imaginable.
The Rock Island was the first line to
establish low excursion rates between
the east and Colorado, and the officials
will not cease to expound every effort to
continue to increase the popularity of its
resorts. With this in view, it will not be
surprising to see in the very near future
such trains as the "Colorado Flyer and
the Rocky Mountain Limited" similarly
equipped.
One thing is certain, there is never
anything better than the Rock Island
