What the Sun Has Done.

without the sun there would be
nothing here-no man, no life.
Coal is nothing but stored-up bot
tied sunshine. The sunlight of
many years produced forests,
which, falling, were buried in the
earth and changed into coal. So
when we put coal in the cook stove
we may truthfully say that we are
boiling the kettle with many
year-old sunshine.
Similarly there would be no,wa-
terfalls for US to chain and con-
vert into electricity, as we have
chained Niagara, if the sun did
not evaperate the water of the sea,
take it up in clouds and afterwards
empty the clouds in rain on the
mountain tops, whence the water
tumbles down again to the sea.
So no wind would blow without
the sun to work changes in the air.
In short, therefore, we have
been using the sunlight all these
years, hardly knowing it, but not
directly. Think OF the tremendous
amount of heat which comes to
the earth from the sun Every
boy has tried using burning glass
which, focusing a few inches OF
the suns rays, will set fire to pa
per or cloth.-Success.

Col. Stone Back in Fold.

Col, W. ]. Stone, former Demo
cratic Congressman, swas: in the
crowd which greeted Governor
Beckham at Kuttawa. To a press
representative he denied that the
Republicans had any authority for
claiming his support. More, he
said he was for the entireEDemo-
cratic ticket. The fact that Col.
Stone was back in the fold was
pleasing information, ss be had not
acted with the party since 1899.

Feeding New Corn to Hogs.

The season when new corn will
be fed to hogs quite extensively is
approaching, and farmers who wish
to keep their hogs healthy would
do we'll to consider the danger of a
sudden change of diet from old
corn to new, says Wallaces' Farmer.
1t is a general opinion among farm
ers that cholera comes in with new
corn and that the cheaper the corn
the more cholera among the hogs.
While we do not believe that the
feeding of new corn without the in
PRODUCTION of cholera germ will ever
produce cholera, nevertheless we
do believe that indiscriminate feed
ing will produce something so near
like cholera that it is regarded as
the same disease. The corn cribs
of the west are unusually empty
and there will be a strong tempta-
tion to feed new corn exclusively
as soon as il is in hard roasting
ear. Farmers had better buy corn
at present prices than make this
sudden change Of diet, and hence
the feeding of new corn should be
delayed as long as possible until
the corn is quite fnlly matured and
then begin quite gradually, so
that the pigs may become accus-
toned to the new diet,
We have spoken about this once
before, but we think it worth
while to take it up again, and
urge our readers to use their good
common sense and not get their
hogs out of condition, SO that in
case cholera should appear there
will not be any unnecessary large
mortality.-Drovers' Journal.

Amputation Of Miss Herring's
Foot.

Miss Allie Herring. whose foot
was injured by South Broadway
car some time ago in Lexington,
underwent an operation at the St.
Joseph's Hospital. The toes of the
foot were amputated the night of
the accident, and for a time it was
thought that the foot could be
saved, but the physicians deemed
amputation necessary to prevent
blood poisoning. She was a clerk

For the sculptural ornamentation or
the Worlds fair grounds and buildings
an Appropriation of half million dol
lars has been made. The total number
Of pieces represented by this outlay
will be over thousand. Mr.. Kari
Francis Theodore Bitter, Chief OF
Sculpture, has searched out every
sculptor of note in the United States to
be represented in the work. The gen.
eral scheme of sculptural ornamental
ton was passed upon and approved by
an advisory committee composed OF the
three foremost scuptors OF this coun-
try, Augustus st. Gaudens, Daniel
Chester French and ]. Q. A. Ward.
The scheme itself is poetic con-
ception embracing in its working out
the history, local coler and allegory OF
the Louisiana territory, dividing the
figures and groups into four classes.
The first class are the original owners
of the soil, represented by the ami
mails that roamed the prairies and for
ests of the West. Then the Indians,
or second owners, are represented,
after whom came the hardy race OF
discoveries. explorers. hunters, trap
pers and pioneers who wrested the soil
from the red men. The fourth and last
owners of the land were the more
highly civilized men of France, Spain
and the United States. the principal
actors in its development The jub-
liant character of the centennial cele-
bration has also been recognized and a
festive note has been struck in the

figures representing various art periods
as follows: Classic" Renaissance"

colossal groups surround it's waters

of these side cascades will be done by
Isidore Kent and the torrents of the
