Ihe lie OF a physician is certainly a
very unsettled and unsatisfactory one. No
sooner, therefore, had Earle Elfenstein
retired to his library, after his lonely sup
per, and become deeply interested in a

steadily speeding toward them, ushered

He touched his horse and sped off in
the darkness. Before reaching the home
of his patient, the storm was indeed over
him.
He fingered fully an hour, hoping it
would abate, but instead, its fury seem
ed to increase with every breath. His
patient had fallen into quiet sleep, and
he was anxious, to be off. Downing his
rubber coat, with its protecting hood we'll
drawn over his hat, he started home
ward.
Pitchy darkness he encountered all the
way, relieved only by the vivid flashes of
lightning that darted hither and thither,
over the inky sky, while the wind, eerie
like, soughed through the tall trees of the
grounds surrounding Glendenning Hall;
then, seeming to gather force with each
lull, broke loose again into fury, flashing,
and thrashing the branches in a fearful
manner.
Suddenly a brilliant flash of lightning
caused his horse to shy to one side, while
crash of thunder almost appalled, him.
Raising his eyes instinctively towards the
sky, they fell by accident upon the win
dows of the Haunted Tower.

Melting Snow.

During the past winter new device
for removing snow from city streets
was put il use 1t is called a snow
melter, huge machine for thoroughly
cleaning the streets. Popular Mechan-
les says that the melting is done rap
idly and economically by means of a
hot-air blast which is brought into di-
rect contact with the snow.
The melter consists of double-end
furnace with a large crate area sur
mounted by a horizontal water-jacket
and a crescent-shaped cross-section
with two inverted L-shaped flues. The
dimensions of the melter are the same
as those of an ordinary truck.
The meter is mounted on wheels.
and can be easily moved from place to
place by a team of horses. The water
jacket forms the bottom of an iron
frame or box into which the snow may
be shoveled direct from the street, or
into which a load of snow may be di-
rectly dumped.
The furnace burns coke. and is large
enough to hold a CARLOAD at a time.
The snow is placed in direct contact
with the heated f1ues, and is melted as
fast as gang of laborers can shovel.

CAVE MEN IN AMERICA.
Prehistoric Skulls Discovered in a
Cave in Southwestern Missouri.

Prehistoric Skulls Discovered in a
Cave in Southwestern Missouri.
Prof C. n. Gould, of the University
of Oklahoma, recently visited a cave
in Southwestern Missouri where exca-
vations have been going on for a fort
night, and will last as much longer
before they are completed. The cave
is seventy feet long III the solid rock,
and the bottom is covered with layer
of ashes over three feet deep, and this
is being dug up and searched. Out of
the debris of ashes and clay have been
dug four human skeletons, together
with bones of other animals. The
arms are unduly long and the legs I'M
duly short, which argues that the skel-
etons belong to an ancient period.
Flint instruments Of all kinds, knives,
spear heads, drills, as well as bone
and stone instruments, are found in
great abundance.
The surface of the cave is of lime
stone, worn perfectly smooth, probably
by long generations of use by the cliff
jewellers. DR.. Peabody tells Of q
sheepfold at Mycene of similar lime
stone worn smooth in a like manner
by long use by the sheep. Along the
back wall of the cave the water pour
ing off the limestone has formed huge
stalactites which Prof. Gould says
must have been in process of forma-
ton for thousands Of years As these
tolo oh fla
of ashes in which the human skele-
tons and other relics Of ancient times
have been found the cave must be one
of extreme age.
AS far as knows, the discovery Of
these four skulls in Southwestern Mis-
souri, is the first positive discovery Of
cave man in America. Their an
tiquity is yet to be proven. The sta
lactites, however, the three-foot coat
ing of ashes, and other evidences of
like kind seem to prove that the dis
covery is indeed an important one.
Prof. Gould was the onl- geologist
present at the investigator of that
cave, and as almost the whole question
OF antiquity must be settled by a study
of the geological formation his opinion
in the case is of great value. Prof.
Gould is of the opinion that the cave
is the greatest find of it's kind ever
made in America. The work of exca-
walton has only begun, and the great
est discoveries are yet to be made in
all probability. He thinks there is
little question as to its ANTIQUITY and
that the discoveries being made in the
cave will be of invaluable aid in solv-
ing the problem of the prehistoric race
of man which inhabited the American
continent at one time.-New York
Evening Post.

Lords Prayer for Poles.

In Poland the patriots are now en-
deavoring to popularize the following
curious version of the Lords prayer:
''Our Father, who are in heaven, re-
store to us the kingdom of Poland.
Deliver us fro n slavery. Give us this
day our daily bread, but not STEPPED
in blood and poisoned through the
wickedness of our enemies. Pardon US
for the sins which are engraved on our
swords. Suffer us not TO fan into the
temptation Or Becoming traitors to Po-
land and deliver us from the domi-
nation of a foreign power, since that
is our worst evil" Thousands of
Poles have learned this prayer by
heart and invariably use it instead of
the old and familiar version.

Snrawl and sleen.

If you fear a sleepless night undress
in the dark. Light stimulates and
arouses the activities. Darkness Is
supposed to produce drowsiness. Put
some chopped ice in rubber bag and
place 1t at the lower extremity of the
spine. This is particularly quieting
to the nerves.
Do not use a pillow Relax every
muscle as far as possible. Sprawl
over the bed with arms and legs
stretched out. Take a sponge bath
with tepid water just before going to
bed. Lie on your face instead of your
back This is the way babies sleep,
and their methods are scarcely to be
improved upon in this particular. All
pressure is removed from the spine by
this means, and a delightful feeling Of
restfulness ensues. You win drop
asleep Immediately.

1t always pays to make coops sub
stantial and keeping the comfort of
the mother hen in view. To do this
the coop should be OF fairly good size,
so that the old hen will have a chance
TO move about. The illustration shows

ton OF this coop was a dry goods box,
the room was cut so that it slanted
little and was then covered with tar
paper to shed the rain. A tight board
floor should be made in the coop, and
it should be slightly elevated, which
will prevent dampness, always fatal

The worst rain of the season was re-
ported from points throughout Iowa
Thursday. Crops in many places are

washouts in Montana along the line Of
the Great Northern, and the streams
are flooding the country. The State of
Nebraska has been visited by unusually
heavy rains and much crop damage is
claimed Kansas rivers and streams are

the worst rain of the season fell all We'd

whole country is flooded and streams are
out of their banks Numerous small
bridges are reported out. 1t is feared
much damage has been done To crops by
washing out. At Council Bluffs two
cloudbursts did half a million dollars
worth of damage, flooded the streets and
drove scores of families from their
homes.
Extremely heavy rains for two days

Peculiar Methods Are Said to Have
Been Followed.
The investigation OF affairs in Indian
Territory ordered by Secretary Hitch
cock naturally excites public curiosity
regarding the nature of the charges
against government officials which were
filed some time ago. The public impress
sion regarding the alleged frauds upon
the Indian is somewhat vague and indis-
tinct, owing to the meager information
that has been given out ut Washington.
The investigation is based primarily
upon a report made by Samuel NJ Bro
sius, special agent employed by the
Indian Rights Association, which al
leges that a large and very profitable
business has been done in the lands al
lotted to the Indians by the Dawes com
mission. 1t is charged that the whites,
who have induced Indians to lease their
lands for five years, have refused to pay
rent or to surrender the land and have
not been compelled TO surrender IT, The
heirs Of "allotters," it is claimed, have
been induced to sell their land at small
prices and full payment has been avoid
ed. Several companies have been or
ganized to deal in these lands and leases,
and they are accused of the operations
complained Of.

Effect of Cutting Glover.

1t is found that red clover produces
more aftermath if the first crop has
not been cut too close, and especially
so, if very sunny weather occurs when
the crown of the root has recently
been exposed. 1t is contended that red
clover is most permanent, and the at-
termath is better when the crop is cut
by the scythe than where the moving
machine is employed. This result has
beer ascribed to the cut surface made
by the scythe being somewhat oblique
and so running off the rain, whereas
the cut of the machine is perfectly
horizontal, allowing the rain to enter
and TO rot the root, but it is probable
that the greater length of the stubbIe
generally left by the scythe Is the true
cause. -Massachrsetts Ploughman.
