ONE OF NATURES WONDERS
The stone Woman Of Wingen. In New
South Wales.

0Outn Wot0Os
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 bold, bluf head
land, about 100 feet above the level OF
the valley, which it commands. the pro-
file assuming the form of 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. unchanging look down the beauti-
full valley of the Hunter. From where
the feet of the stone woman rest among
the towering trees that grow around
the base of Salisbury Crag to the
summit of her head must be about 500
feet. so that if she We're to stand up
straight some day she would be about
800 feet high. If the proper point OF
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
tralia, 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; that. as far back as they
could remember there had always been
the big smoke.
The course of the fire can be traced
a considerable distance by the trans
verse rents or chasms occaSioned by
the falling in of the ground, from un-
der which the coal had been consumed.
From years end to years end fumes

is hot to the touch. the vegetation with
which it was originally covered having
disappeared, and sticks thrust into the
gLound speedily become charred, if not
ignited-St James's Gazette.

Still More Serious.

Every one who has tried to hire an
apartment in the city has encountered
the stern question. Have you any
children:" If one is forced to own to
that blessing, he is too often coldly
informed that the house is not for him.
One prospective tenant, when the
question was put to him. looked at his
wife. and his wife looked at him. They
seemed to scent Il joke in the s!tua-
ton.
Yes" said the man, we have three
children
Then l can't let you have the fat
announced the agent.
But there are cXtenuating cireum-
stances"
In the real estate and renting bust
ness" said the agent. there are no
eXtenuating circumstances in regard
to children. We simply cannot admit
them
But our children don't live with
us
Don't live with you:"
No q
But they come to see you:"
"Oh yes, frequently"
Worse and worse asserted the
agent. When children merely come
TO visit. they are permitted to tear
things loose. We Lave discovered by
experience that when parents see their
children only occasionally they are
ten times as indulgent. The romping
they'd do in three days visit would
ruin the reputation of the building"
Again the prospective tenants looked
! at each other and laughed.
Our children won't romp,' said the
| man.
"Children are all alike returned
, the agent.
| But our children are married"
"Oho. married! Tha+ alters it," And
the agent prepared to so to work Oh
| the lease.
Yes, married. repeated the man
land have children of their own"
The agent dropped his pen.
"Grandparents.' he cried. "Tht

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 form Of animal fodder which
has sawdust as it's 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
tanned in such growth remains in it
even after it has become wood. he OBJ
serves that with little salt I,nd water
added to it the sawdust will prove to
be highly nourishing diet.
He has statistics to prove it. Pine,
bircE, poplar, alder acacia, 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 a
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.

Eetraxed by Golden Locks.

A prominent public official began to
show signs of badness, and then rather
surprised his friends by appearing
with sleek well-groomed crop OF
dark hair. For some time no one sus-
pected a wig. But 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. dS.-Philadelphia Record.

Their Importance to q 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 a county. Judge Taft p"
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
intercommunication was by water. and
their civilization, whatever they have,
is close to the water courses. Now, we
know something about the state of civ
ilization in the Philippines as compared
with that of other and older countries.
In Cuba one of the first things done by
our Government as a means toward the
civilizing 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.'

Ambition is natural instinct of h,

Ambition is natural instinct of hu-
manity. When properly exercised it
is worthy of all praise; for without it,
every element of civilization would be
lost, and there would be no such thing
as advertising. BY it progress is fos-
tered and Improvement created. In
early times physical strength and
physical supremacy We're principally
sought after. because their influence
predominated. In later times, rank
was the chief prize, because it's titles
gave the greatest amount of power.
But in our day and in our country the
mind has acquired supremacy, and the
surest road to success is through the
intellect, observes Profitable Adver-
tising. In the first case, ambition
painted for the spear and the battle
axe; in the second she stroye for rib
bons and silver medals. But now she
seeks for the honors and emoluments
that follow the possession os mind
well stored with knowledge.

Emperor William is considering the
extension of the old age pension legis-
lation. Conversing with an American
visitor about the conditions of labor
in the United States, the Kaiser said he
was determined to make employers
contribute to the support of their work
people when the latter We're old and
invalided. They should not be thrown
aside like old shoes after having given
all their best years to their employers
interests. Germany already has fair
ly comprehensive old age scheme in
operation, but the doles are not suf-
ticient to maintain the receivers. What
the Emperor apparently intends is to
secure enough to keep the aged people
beyond want. They will have to con
tribute 4 portion of their wages
throughout their lives, which the State
will invest, supplemented by regular
quota from their employers.

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 Itchen,
a noted trout stream. These streams
receive the storm aud 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.

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 1t un
til he fully understood its nature.
When told that 1t permitted him to ride
over more than 1000 miles of country
he grinned. When Ed urged him to
tear the temptation up he grinned
again.
SPY gracious" said he. "a railroad
may not be shoest so bad. Ed
That was the rift in the lutte. Hal
verson thought Il long while. and one
day boldly announced that he was for
the coming of the road. Immediately
half dozen other prominent citizens
that had received passes, but kept quiet
about it. said they were with Halver-
son. 1t came to such a point that Cen
tleman Ed was left alone in his oppo-
stion to the road. and that settled the
| matter.
Another message went forward to
Mr.. Marvel. which told of the surren-
der of Blue Duck. A few days after
| ward the track gang resumed labor.
and the rails came swiftly toward the
town. The day they entered and
stopped at the depot site Halverson.
Anderson, all of Blue Duck but Gentle
man Ed, turned out with shouts and
cheers. The workmen We're given Il

But Gentleman Ed, prince Of gamb-

| journeyed so far he could just look
back and see the thin curl of smoke
coming from the stack of the locomo-
| tive OF the work train. 1t seemed to
mock him. to say that the frontier so

Bible history teaches that before
their dispersion the Jews We're an agri-
cultural and pastoral people. An inter-
esting and comprehensive report Of
DR.. Karl Kaerger, agricultural expert
at the German Embassy in Buenos
Ayres. shows that during all the ages
they have not lost their bucolic habits.
In this report the writer speaks with
qualification of the success of agricul-
ture in the Jewish colonies endowed
in Argentina by Baron Hirsch. AS is
we'll known, the grants of land to these
colonies by the Argentine Government
were very extensive, and that Govern
ment is now reaping the fruits OF its
liberal policy by the great increase
of its agricultural resources and
wealth.

The question has been raised
whether. if it should be practical bic
to attain to a speed of 100 miles or
more an hour by rail, the engineer
could stand the strain. 1t has been
affirmed by Il physician that such
fearful going would wear out his
nerves in little while. The question
has been answered already by one eN-
perienced engineer before meeting
of scientists. Asked as to the proba bic
effects, in case of Il common accident,
of speed of more than sixty miles
an hour, he said: "A Smash-up at
sixty miles would make splinters of
everything; at 100 miles the splinters
might be finer, but the destruction
couldn't be more complete" That is
to say, when an engineer runs his en-
gine at sixty miles, he is under as Sc
we're a strain as he would be at any
other speed.

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 a 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 alienist, Mr.. Styles. has
been at some pains to investigate this
subject, with wholly discouraging 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 1000 inha bitants
in the United States, one to every To-
600 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
100000 Inhabitants. during the years
1S41 to 1916. 8 suicides; from 1876 to
1850. 10 suicides; from 1861 to 1870. II

Praise For the Corn Belt Roads.

Whenever Professor Ira O. Baker
takes time to write a 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 glibly 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 we'll known per-
sonage. He has again drawn atten-
ton to this bias of mind by an enter
tanning paper on "Civilizatlon 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 in question. The author
showed by statistics from an unmen-
toned source that France spends on
highways nearly -four times as much
per mile of road as Illinois, three and
one-half 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.53 square mile. Peo-
pie who have but moderate personal
acquaintance with the highways of the
two territories will feel that here is
a 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.
