RELIC OF THE REVOLUTION.
Secret Passageway That was Used
by Tory Leaders in the
Revolution.

Tunnel workmen engaged in exca
vating at farmhouse which stands
on Scriyeris Point, close to Long Island
sound, lately discovered a secret pas
sage leading from the garnet of the
house to the sound. The passageway.
it is believed, was used in the revolu-
tionary war by the tory leaders Of
Westehester to escape from the Amer
lean troops, which, under Washington.
were encamped for weeks in the neigh
borhood at the time that Gen. Howe. Of
the British army, was eneamped Just
opposite on Long island. The legend
Of the passage has been known to the
older residents of Westchester, al
though few Of them have ever seen il.
It was known as the tory hole" The
builder of the old house was Isaac
wilkins, an Englishman, who settled
in Westchester shortly before the revo-
luton. Notwithstanding that he mar
ried a sister of Lewis Morris, one of
the signers of the declaration of indie
pendence, he was a hot tory. The
house stands near a small creek lead
ing TO the sound. 1t is a two-story
frame structure with shingled sides.
1t has an immense chimney and fire.
places and was considered one of the
finest houses in Westchester county
when il was built, 1877 years ago. The
upper stories are provided with port
holes, through which the inmates
guarded their grounds. The passage
leading to the tunnel is in the garnet.
II is about four feet wide and is Gov
cred with a trap door. Stone steps
from the outside of the
chimney form a stairway all the way
down to the ground, where a tunnel
passes under the basement and runs
out under the yard to the small tide
water creek. The mouth of the cave
and the tunnel years ago tumbled in
and are now almost obliterated, but
the passageway from attic to cellar is |
intact

many interesting things were said and
done Mr.. Brown gave a very good talk
on keeping hens. He thinks the color oft
shell OF an egg is no index to its goodness
and that small egg may have as much
value as large one. The food the hen
has makes the difference in value. Mr.

believes in eating eggs. Mr.. HAYNES
thinks il not humane to dehorn cattle.
Mr.. Bennett Slack and others think il is,
Mr.. Bruce thinks II more farmers would

Armor-PInted Whale.

The remarkable fact that the ear
lest known ancestor, or primitive
type, Of the modern whale bore keavv
armor on its back, in the form Of
strong, bony plates, has recently been
set forth by the German paleontolo-
gist. DR.. o. Abel The plates occasion
ally found associated with remains Of
the primeval form Of whale, the ex-
tinct zenglodon, have generally been
regarded as having belonged to gigan-
tic turtles, but DR.. Abel shows that
they we're part Of the skeleton OF the
zenglodon itself. They resemble in
their character the impenetrable bonv
shells Of the huge glyptodonts that
formerly inhabited South America.
The suggestion is made that at the
time when they carried arm0r whales
were amphibious creatures. living on
the coasts and needing special protec-
ton from breakers and from sharks.

Dear Sir: Perhaps you 'swon't have
anything to do with Mixed Paints" We
don't blame you; but Devoe lead and
zinc is not Mixed Paint; there is twice
as much paint in gallon of it as there is
in gallon OF some of the Mixed Paints.
y. Avery, Delhi, y. V, owns 2 houses
exactly alike-Painted one with Mixed
Paint-took u gallons. Painted the other
with Devoe; bought u gallons had six
gallons left.
Ii has taken great many years to find
out the best; and it takes a lot OF
machinery to grind it properly.
More than 1000 years, men painted
with lead, and more than 200 with linseed
OIL About 30 years ago, they began to
use zinc.
All painters know lead and oil; most
painters know lead and oil with zinc
mixed init improves their paint: wears
longer: does not chalk or powder off so
soon. One-third more zinc than lead is
used in this country.
But painters don't know how much
zinc to put in; and zinc is hard to mix
needs grinding inland they can't grind
il in.
Still, nobody uses lead without zinc.
who knows his business.
Yours truly.
