VALUABLE ROCK DEPOSIT.
Mixsouri Profe xsor Finds That Kan
sas City Has stone That Will
Make Good Cement.

In the last two years the department
of geology, chemistry, and civil engi-
neering in Missouri university have
been combining their efforts to deter
mine whether certain deposits in Mis-
souri, can be converted into cement Of
good quality. The work has gone far
enough to enable them to say without
hesitation that Kansas City combines
large quantities of rock capable of pro-
ducing cement that seems to be OF ex-
cellent quality, cand that deposits OF
cement rock of good quality have been
found at other places in the state.
When deposits are found that seem to
contain good cement rock it is neces-
sary to prove by process of manufac-
turing that cement of good quality can
be made out of the material. The
stone has to be ground, mixed, burned,
ground again, set, and then tested I'M
der the crushing machines. If success
does not crown the first series of ex-
pertinent they must be repeated with
various notifications, until it is finally
proved that good cement can or cannot
be made out of the material. Expert
ments have proved that Missouri con-
tains, at Kansas City and other places
immense deposits of rock that can be
converted into Portland cement.

TAKES A TUMBLE AND SMOKES,
Bricklayer Falls Seven Stories and
Lands Right Side Up and with
LMtIe Harm Done.

On the seventh floor of the skyscrap-
er hotel building which is being erect
ed on Clinton street, between Fulton
and Pierrepont, Brooklyn, late the
other afterno DON group of bricklayers
were at work on the outer wall of the
structure. One of them was Luther
Kerlin, who paused suddenly in his
work and began pulling vigorously at
his pipe.
Kerlin borrowed a match, scratched
it on a brick, and lighted his pipe.
Thank"
He did not finish, for in shifting his
position he slipped and fell. Three
stories down he crashed through the
skylight of another building and kept
on till he landed on the top of an ele-
vator cage. When the occupants looked
up and saw Kerlin on top of the car
they were astonished. He was sitting
up rubbing his head and with his pipe
still tightly clutched in his teeth.
While they were at work getting him
out three fellow brickfayers rushed in
to gather up his remains.
"Say, Nike" he said, "give me an
other match; my pipe is out again."

BANK ROBBERS TRAlLED TO CAVE.
Rudolph and Lewis Believed to Be Hid
L. 4. u.~... D;-.- r.-.

NShfA oHe AS"AS DNA&hSo W ~ haON
ing in Meramec River Cavern.
Salem, Feb. 13 Possibly the IN
ion Bank robbers, Bill Rudolph and
Fred Lewis, murderers of Detective
Schumacher. have taken refuge in the
Mint Springs Cave on the Meramec
river, about nine miles north of
Salem, in Dent county.
Sheriff Jack and Constable STROBE
have gone to investigate the report
brought here by farmers Of that 10
cality.
Two men, one tall, the other short,
and one having his head bandaged,
passed. by Sligo furnace town oi60O
people, five days ago. The man who
had his head tied up remained in the
edge al the town in the brush while
the other man went in and bought
provisions. The two men then pro-
ceeded to the Meramec river, about
FIVE miles distant, and, finding this
cave, took lodging there, where they
have remained ever since. Iniorma-
ton was brought to Salem two days
ago that these men were at the cave,
and no attention was paid to the
matter.
Two farmers in the locality of the
cave determined to investigate.
They Went to the cavern after night
and saw the men cooking their sup.
per away back in the cave. The
farmers watched them the next day
and the supposed robbers spent the
day upon the hill above the cave
where they could command a view o.
the country Tor miles around.
Sligois 20 miles from Potosi, wher,
the robbers abandoned their horses
and the intervening country is very
rough and thinly settled. The mel
could make their way back to Sligo
without much danger, as most OF tn,
inhabitants in that country proba
bly, have never heard OF the banl
robbery. Sligo is a furnace towr
which employs about 600 men
counting the woodcutters and min
} ers, and there is a constant change o
workmen from Sligo to Flat rive
and back again, and people tramp
ing through the country would no
attract any notice or arouse suspi
cion.

DIGEs 1--WE FACULTIES DECAY.
Britain Lecturer DehouHees the Oys-

the Dlseases of Men.

DR.. Sir James Crichton II. Brown, in
a lecture delivered in London the other
day dilated upon the decay in the diges-
tive faculties of civilized man, 70
which he said number of diseases could
be traced. Not only have modern men
not got such teeth as their ancestors
had, but their saliva is Tess abundants
owing to the softer, pulpier foods that
are eaten.
People are living to an Increasing ex-
tent upon peptonized foods, The in
crease of appendicitis is largely due
to indigestion resulting from imper-
feet mastieation and the hurried meth
cd Of living. From the same cause
people are less able TO resist disease
Consequently there is greater reason
for sanitary precautions, as injurious
bacteria did a maximum of harm.
He instanced various cases of danger
GUS food contamination, and described
the oyster as potential torpedo in the
bowels.
Referring to the recent outbreaks
of typhoid fever in Westchester and
Southampton, he said the disease could
be traced to oysters. He attributed
indifference and incidence to the pub
lie and eulpable negligence to pnryey
ors, and declared that II Legislation
providing for stringent inspection Of
oyster beds was not passed. an meal
culable amount of typhoid fever was
in store.
All foods needed enforced protection
from bacterial contamination. Anti
septicism must enter to some degree
into the daily life of all and regulat'

mel to the seth parallel OF latitude;
thence along "the summit of the
mountains parallel to the coast" to
the 141st meridian OF west longitude;
