FIND COAL

Foot and a Half Vein.
Special to The Journal. s.. ...-....-..;.
j Jackson, Neb., March 10.-Cameron, the
Des Moines mining expert who has been
drilling for coal in this vicinity, the rep
resentative of the Sioux Beet Syrup and
Preserving company, which has leased
900 acres in this vicinity for prospecting,
announced Saturday that he had struck a
foot and a-half vein of coal seventy feet
down. This, he says, was much better
than he expected, as he did not expect the
first vein would be more than few
inches thick. Now he thinks the third vein
will be large enough to justify mining.

"Fish are a good deal like people,"
said Superintendent Spencer. OF the
Aquarium. "You can't always tell by
their countenance what to expect or
them. Look at that fellow there,
now"
He pointed to tiger fish which was
butting its nose against the glass of its
tank. No more villainous face Of the
pugna ciOus sort could be found In q
days search in the haunts Of third
rate pugilists.
Looks as II he would fight at the
wrggle of fin, doesn't he?" the SUPER
intendent continued. 'See those jaws!
Bad eye. too. Well, sir, that Is the
most gentle fish in the Aquarlum-one
of the clinging kind. that seeks affec-
lady fish. Just observe those bril-
liant colors. and that dear, innocent
face, and notice the coaxing, graceful
movements of Its tail. You'd think II

ION the contrary; It's the most un.
lady,like fish in this collection; Its
temper Is shrewish and its habits are
bad; aud II you gave 1t chance II
would bite you like savage bull pup,
It's vicious fish. and doesn't deserve
all those fine airs 1t has"
Mr.. Spencer put his hand near the
glass front Of the tank. There was
an instant commOtion; the insinuating
tail dashed the water; and that angelic
mouth bumped sharply against the
barrier in swift effort to nip the tip
of the superintendent's finger.

n YOUNG woman In Oak Park
~ believes that her telephone
NJ Is haunted, and some Of her
neighbors agree with her.
and now the theory Is being discussed
with a suggestion that the instrument
is a proper medium for ghosts, and
credulous householders are afraid to
answer the telephone bell lest some
uncanny disclosure greet them.
No doubt when science has perfected
the telephone we will find ourselves
in long distance communication with
Mars or other planets which have of.
fered US neighborly overtures to which
we could not respond. If the explor
ers Of air will lend all their faculties
to the development Of vibrations con-
densing them to focus for human
intelligence, world Of wonder may
open to our listening ears, and the
sixth sense aid us to a knowledge Of
the gods. Then Tesla might gather In
the telephone cup the power now lying
dormant in the air shaft waiting for
liberator. The theory antedates the
use of telephones. Many years ago
Chicago young woman wrote a re-
markable book called THE AutomatOn
Ear" 1t told the story Of man who
was possessed with the idea that all
the harmones of earth. since the morn
ing stars sung together for Joy, were
still centred in the air and could be
reproduced If an ear could be invented
to gather and retain them. So he in
vented an automaton ear which was a
success. but the inventor had over
looked one condition. With the sounds
Of Joy and the songs of harmony came
the groans of discord and the walls
Of sorrow, and these so pred0minated
that he went mad and died Of disap-
pointment.
When the busiest and most neces-
sary official on the circuit in Oak Park
was asked to come up to certain num-
Der and find out what was wrong with
the telephone, he sent a sub, who re-
ported that 1t acted "crazy" and would
not ring true"
so DAVID CampDell went tnere nlm-
self and found distressed matron,
who said mysteriously:
II sent for you because I'm having
trouble with my telephone"

to harbor the idea. Impossible! My

RObber Bees,

hODDef ices.
The strongest bees are put on duty
for guards, it is these guard bees that
dart out at you. With the Italian bee
or the milder Cyprian, If you do not
notice them they will merely buzz near
your face moment and leave you.
But often the cross black bees will
come at you with the intention of
singing you, especially If there is rain
brewing, or they are short Of resin in
the hive, or your clothes are perfumed
with some scent they dislike. tobacco,
for instance. On account Of these
guard bees, and the keen scent they
employ to single out enemies AS they
know every bee Of their own house by
this scent as well as sight-it is almost
Impossible for strcnge bees to pass
them into the hive. But the robber
bees do not come single handed. they
come when the worker bees are far
field, and killing the guard and nurses
barring their way, they buzz in and
clean out the hive. Sometimes the
worker bees stay at home to resist the
alta cks and the strongest side Is victor,
hut it usually ends in the demolition
Of the colony and the fighting, robbng
spirit spreads to other colonies. 1t Is
strange about bees in this line; If they
find a starving bee they will feed and
care for 1t tenderly, but In case OF
weak colony they are almost sure to
sneak in and steal their small store.
They are very much like nations Of
human kind in this respect.
Ants and those fly bees which look
SO much like bee that even bees
are sometimes deceived by them, they
usually rid themselves of. But the bee
keeper must keep close watch. Ants
are bad in this country, and most bee
stands are made with tapering legs and
set in cans or crooks of water. Last
winter I saw fine stand of bees
brought to starvation because the
owner neglected setting the stand legs
in water. In every hive the bees
starved before half the winter was
over, and all ON account of the fall in
roads of ants.
AS the bee must 60 into over 100
blossoms to get just one load Of honey.
it would be natural for big Drained
thing like a bee, to get 1t some easier
way IL 1t could, and often in the height
Of the honey season the smell of the
honey in other hives than their own
tempts them to threpe little from
them The beekeeper in taking honey
from the hives sometimes leaves
enough dripping around to set them
wild to follow the trail on into the
hive About the only way you can
break them of the robbing habit is to
put screens over the entrance ways
Of the robbed hives so that not more
than one bee can go out or come in
at time.-I. S.. in The Epitomst.

WAsTEFULNEss IN MEAT.
Weight For Weight Vegetables More Nu-
ritiOus Than Flesh.

Weight For Weight Vegetables More Nu-
ritious Than Flesh.
OF the many arguments put forth in
favor Of vegetation diet, especially
in warm weather and in seasons when
the Beef Trust is in the ascendant,
none is more effective than that OF
economy. Nor Is the economy under
stood ut first glance. II 1t IS true that.
weight for weight, cereals and vege-
tables, eggs and cheese are more nu-
tritious than meat, 1t is still to be con-
sidered how little meat one has for
his money. The person who buys
pound of mutton chops at twenty -four
cents a pound, or a pound Of beef for
roasting at thirty cents does not buy
pure nourishment. by any means. I'm
less he can eat fat, which not many
people relish, he will not extract from
his pound of chops more than third
OF a pound of meat. This brings his
crop up to rate Of seventy-rwo cents
pound. The beef Is perhaps more
generous, vet when the tendon, the
fat and the bone, for which he has paid
full price, have been extracted, the
edible portion of his purchase has prob.
ably lost a half; hence he has paid for
beef at the rate of sixty cents a pound.
Vegetables are almost wholly food.
The skin of the potato Is nothing to
its substance; there Is no waste to the
turnip, beet. radish, parsnip, carrot,
dandelion, lettuce. spinach, cabbage.
egg plant. cucumber, tomato, onion,
cauliflower, at least none that amounts
to anything; peas and beans lose their
shell and corn its cob, yet the waste Is
less than in meat; there Is not as much
substance in asparagus and artichoke,
hence they may be regarded more as
luxuries; but in nearly all fruits, nuts
and grains we have nutriment in con.
centrated form. The amount of water
is hardly to be considered as waste,
or. IL 1t is. meat Is equally waste for
the same reason.-Brooklyn Eagle.~

new and careful survey Of the jam.
came up to report to Mr.. George that
he had found the key log, and that
there was no other way In which to
break the jam than by getting that
log out. or by having some one go out
over the falls, in front Of that mighty
mass Of timber and accumulated wa.
ter, and cut that log. But he found
his young master pinned by the logs
and unconscious with pain.
He called some Of his men for con.
sultatiOn. They all agreed that the
only way to break the jam and free
their master was to get that key log
started or broken. TO this log the
rope was fastened. and with horses
and men another effort was made to
extricate 1t; but 1t would not move.
The foreman seized an Ak and started
for the log.
Boys" said he. "look after Mr..
George. When the logs move, drag
him out quickly at all hazards. If !
am killed, give him my respects"
And the noble, stalwart man, nimble
as cat, ran over the logs and began
chopplng the key log in two. There
were men on the bank ready to help
him If he could be helped. Swiftly the
big chips flew. Suddenly. with a
growl, crash, laundering roar, the
jam broke, and ere the brave man
could reach the shore it carried him
among the tumbling logs and seething
waters to an untimely end. At the
first movement of the jam the logs
that pinned the master Were loOsened
and he was dragged up and laid on
the bank. bruised, but with no bones
broken. 1t was not, however, till after
four days search that the body Of the
brave foreman was found, and then 1t
was an almost unacceptable mass Of
pounded flesh and broken bones.-

"You see. it is all right. What led

Several unusual experiences, but

when l was called to the telephone. l
distinctly heard the voice Of my little
son Theodore. whom had left at home

soon be home. He said, "All right,

ing. Yet it was my boys voice and no
other"
Mr.. Campbell looked politely incrf d.
ulous. and suggested that the boy
might have telephoned in his sleep,
but he could not convince the mother
Mrs. Blanke had another experience In
reserve.
II was thinking Of friend at dis
lance and wanting to hear from her,
went to the telephone to call her up.
As soon as l put the receiver to my
ear heard some one speaking, and
asked who 1t was, and my friend an
swered, without being called. Now is
that telepathy or what is it?'
II think" said the electrician. gent.
ly, "that the telephone has got on your
nerves. Let some other member of the
family answer for a while. You take
these incidents too seriously, and even
IL you cannot account for them, they
do not mean anything. 1t Is common
event for telephone bells to ring mys-
teriously. but cSossing Of the wires or
a mistake in theVnumber might easily
be the cause. Might venture to sug-
gest that some roguish member of your
family may be playing tricks?"
But Mrs. B. would not admit this
for moment, so the baffied electrician
was obliged to leave the mystery
where he found it. and the troubled
matron went on losing weight every
day and feeling sure whenever her
telephone bell rang that some ghost
| was OH the wires. Then friend moved
into her suburb and put herself into
telephone communication with the
outside world. At an early date Mrs
Blanke called up Central and asked
for her friends number.
| Fourteen hundred and ninety-two,'
came the answer. 1t stirred strange
memories in Mrs. Blanke's mind. She
called II mp with an INDEFINITE feeling
that she had heard It In some former
life. A weird voice resp' nded.
