gloomy portals and today enables st.
Paul to speak of itself as the home
of the mushroom, that fungus growth
which thrives best amid gloom and
which today is among the costliest of
edibles that the epicure covets.
Nature be it known, has provided st.
Paul with foundation that is diver
sified in the extreme, treacherous, shift
ing sand here, clay there, rock so hard
that it almost defies the tools of men,
and lastly sandstone, it's area SO great
that it. might be said over one-half of
the fifty-five square miles of territory
over which the municipality exercises
control rests upon it's soft, gritty strata.
1t is in this sandstone in which the
caves predominant and their enlarge
ment and extension is becoming so
great that they will soon be merged
into one great underground city.

Leaving out that great section of
sandstone in the business district

which the city authorities have tun-
neled for drainage purposes, the West
side is the home of the cave. Here the
face of a majestic sandstone bluff ex-
tending far above the High bridge to
point almost in sight of the city linn
it's has provided an ideal place for the
display of the ingenuity of man and far
into it's interior has the pick and shovel
been worked. First mere openings,
homes for wandering squatters, the
caves have been widened and increased
until now some of them would house
an army. In most of them mushrooms,
that edible of commerce. thrive in their
cavernous depths, but not few Of
them provide shelter for cattle and
chickens, the property of small colony
whose tumble-down homes and small
patches of ground dot what is known
as the upper flats lying along the base
of this great bluff.
Natural Beer Cellars.
The value of the West Side bluffs
was first exploited by the several
small breweries which formerly had a
home in the vicinity of South Wabasha
street Finding that the soft sand of
which the bluff is composed gave way
readily to the pick large rooms were
excavated which provided an ideal
place for the storage of beer during
the fermentation period.
Gradually the number of rooms were
increased until finally they took care
of the entire product of each brewery,
furnishing during summer natural
refrigerator with which no artificial
process could compete.
In winter, however, there was disad-
vantages, the cold of the interior CIV
ing way to a warmth that was not at
all conducive to the welfare of the stor-
ed liquids. 1t was for this reason

dency to collapse is quickly detected
and precautions taken. Many of them
are lighted with electricity and pre-
sent wierd effect when the lights are
turned on.
Homes for Live Stock.
While the majority of the caves are
given over to mushroom culture, not
few of them are the property of those
living along the foot of the bluff, and
have been converted into stables for
the housing of cattle and chickens.
Some are of natural formation, but as
a rule they have been made by man.
The sandstone is soft and porous and
is easily broken away. Sometimes a
hard strata is found, but slight charges
of blasting powder quickly reduces it
to dust.
Last year one cave owner, in his
eagerness to enlarge it's capacity, used
more blasting powder than his neigh
bors on the plateau thought proper,
and he was quickly subdued by the
authorities. The houses above were
given quite a shaking and for time
it was feared that the plateau was
the victim of a seismic disturbance,
then quite general throughout the
country.
Wells Never Go Dry.
In every cave on the west SIDE is TO
be found well or cistern which never
goes dry. Excavated a few feet in the
rock, the constant seepage from the
porous sandstone keeps we'll con-
stantly full The water is clear as
crystal and is delicious to the taste
Those excavations on this side of
the river are in the nature of
tunnels rather than caves, they being
excavated by the city for the purpose
of providing drains for the city's sew
age. Some of them are hundreds Of
feet in extent and quite roomy.

and from one cave they soon became
owners of dozen, which multiplied,
as other saw the profits to be made
and coveted the success which attend
ed their efforts. Now thousands Of
pounds of mushrooms are raised an
nually in those caves, and the product
finds a ready market in many of the
big cities of the United States. Chi
cago is one of ST. Paul's largest con-
sumers of this vegetable, and buys, it
is said, fully one-third of the output.
Caves Lit by Electricity.
The openings to the majority of these
caves front along South Wabasha
street, but those who pass the boarded
up entrances daily little realize how
vast is their size. Some of them pene-
trate well under the plateau high
above, and are divided off into spacious
rooms, partitions of the original sand
stone formation preventing a cave-in,
which would be the case if the in
terror was one large room. Cave-ins,
however, are quite frequent, but a

A Discovery at the RIGHT Moment.


The Importance of finding the right
food is invaluable when the stomach
revolts and the nourishment of the
body becomes a problem.
Mrs. Fannie Hall, of Orleans, N Y,
was an invalid for over ten years,
hardly able to drag herself around the
house and nothing she ate seemed to
nourish her. She had chronic diar-
rhoea, her food did not digest and she
was so nervous she could not bear the
least noise or excitement
She writes: About a year ago
was looking over paper when the
name of Grape-Nuts caught my eye
and determined to try them. I sent
for a package and have never been
without them since; they seem to be
the thing l need.
When I commenced eating Grape
Nuts I weighed 115 lbs. and now I
weigh 145 lbs. and am well and do my
own work.
My children think they cannot get
along without them and 1 use a pack
age a day..
The whole family eat them for des-
sert with cream, in preference to any
thing else. When 1 go away l always
take a package with me as no ether
food agrees with me as well. always
call Grape Nuts the lucky food as I
think / owe my life to them."

For a number of years these caves

MR.. wHITNEYs PRESENT POLITICS.
Boston Herald.
"The trouble is that the Democrats
have no issue and no mani" This is a
discovery by Mr. Whitney; or it would
be so classed if he could be considered
as talking seriously. His probable meaning
is that he is quite satisfied with the Re-
publican party as regards his business
interests, and does not care to have its
conduct of public affairs interrupted. The
Republican party is making it easy for
the persons of his set to pursue projects
which have little concern for the welfare
of the people as a whole, but are greatly
useful to persons who are engaged in
manipulating vast corporate interests for
private advantage Mr.. Whitney, Demo-
crat as he has always been in his party
Felations, perceives that the Republican
party is taking a course that suits him,
hence he thinks that the Democratic
party "has no issue" He sees no ground
of complaint or objection to the policy
which the plethoric capitalists of the
land are well pleased with. To make an
issue with these complaisant politicians
would be to behave like those moralists
who desire "to regulate the private lives
of everybody else Is not a mans bust
ness his private affair with which the
government should not interfere? II in
the prosecution of it he Expresses the
helpless, never mind they are entitled
to no help. If he tramples on their
rights, never mind. If he defrauds them
of their property, never mind There is

BUSY SUMNER AT UNIVERSITY.
A Room Fitted Up for the Study of Physical
Chemistry.

Especial to the News and Observer.)
Chapel Hill, N. c., Aug. 9.-This has
been a busy summer at the University
along the line of improvements.
The Botanical laboratory is being
fitted for the use of Dr. Cocker. Two
rooms are set aside for this purpose.
The Electrical laboratory is located in
the basement of the Alumni Building.
Prof. Gore is making extensive arrange
ments for the new year.
The laboratory of Pathology and Bac-
teriology will also be ready for students
DR.. Whitehead is in Chicago and has
given a large order for apparatus.
The laboratory for Pharmacy has been
doubled in capacity. new gas ma
chine having four times the capacity of
the old one is being installed
But perhaps the most important of all
is the addition to the Chemical laboratory
Here room is set apart and fitted for
the study of Physical Chemistry. DIR.
Mills is at Cornell this summer study
ing apparatus and appliances devoted to
this field.
1t may be of interest to state that
this will give the University the only
laboratory for Physical Chemistry in the
South.
Physical Chemistry, as the name .sug-
gests, is the study of the border lands
of Physics and Chemistry 1t is new
field. The result of Investigations here
will be of the utmost Importance.
In other departments the laboratory
work is being strengthened. Also in
English, Languages and Economics, semi
nary rooms are haino ftfad u,;tb 40 bIac
chairs and books.
The buildings are being renovated and
given the usual airing and white washing.
