NEW COTTON SEED OIL MILL,
Large Industry Will Shortly Be
Erected in Ozark.

Ozark, May 14-tSpecial.)- Several weeks
ago an option was secured on land in
this place for the. purpose Of a cotton
seed oil mill. All doubt about the loca-
ton of the mill has been removed and 1t
has now become a certainty. Phillip HEX
ney, the agent for the company, was in
town this week and purchased lot of
four acres from John Carroll on the Plant
System. The deed was made to the
Kentucky Refining Company of Louis
vile. Ky. He is perfecting arrangements
for the immediate construction of the
buildings. He is in Montgomery today to
see the Plant System authorities to have
side-tracking put in connecting the plant
with the road.
The entire plant will be 600 feet. and the
main building will be of brick and be 1853
feet long. The entire buildings will be a
substantial one. 1t will be fitted up with
all the modern improvements. such as
waterworks. electric lights and thorough
ventilation.
The mill will have a capacity of eighty
tons per day and will work about forty
hands. The pay roll will be large and
Ozark is to be congratulated on having
such fine factory.
Several thousand head of cattle viii be
kept by the company during the winter
and fed on the hulls and meal. The mill
will afford a fine market for cattle and
cotton seed.
Eight new stores are to be erected in a
short time. With these new stores, a

The Ocean BED.


NJ J. ThOu1et has investigated the
constitution of the ocean bed, and
finds that the more deeply it is pene-

slime and the less calcareOuS matter
On the other hand, the proportion of
sand grains and pure clay increases
with depth. No regularity obtains in
the distribution of the nOn-caIcareouS
mineral grains. This normal distribu-
ton appears to be more pronounced

case, the variations due to ocean depth

In the drawing a rear view of the de-
hector is shown, giving an idea of the
manner of mounting it on the car The
Dashboard is rigidly attached midway
between the windows, carrying on
either edge narrow hinged strip
which overlaps the fitting board of
the shield. The horizontal rods which
carry the movable shield are pivOted
in the center of the narrow strips, in
order that the latter may cover the
edge of the shield and prevent leak
age of the cinders and dirt behind the
shield
The manner of mounting the shield
makes it doub1e-acting, and to turn it
to correspond with the direction of
the train the fitting board is lifted
sufficiently to clear the bolt at the
lower end from its slot in the trian-
gular brace, when the board will
swing free in either direction. The
dirt-laden air striking against this
shield is thrown off at an angle to the
car, and this action produces suction
from the rear of each window to draw
the air from the interior, which allows
the entrance of fresh air through the
screened ventilators provided for the
purpose.
