Prize Balloon.

A curious feature of the fireworks
program during the ceremonies will
be the release of a large balloon made
Of the finest and lightest Oil silk. and
filed with the best of hydrogen. To
this balloon will be attached, under
proper safeguards to prevent injury,
a notice directed to the finder that on
return of the notice to the exposition
officials a season pass to the fair will
be given. 1t is estimated that the
balloon under moderately favorable
conditions will travel a thousand
miles before returning to earth It
is likely that much interest will be
displayed on the night of the balloons
release as to the direction Of the wind
and that localities in the fortunate di-
rectiOn will be on the lookout for the
treasuTe-laden messenger.

A FIora Clock.

With it's mechanical frame quite
beneath beautiful flowers and vari-
colored foliage plants, a mammoth
floral clock that may be seen at the
exposition in 1904 will be by far the
largest timepiece ever constructed
The mechanism is buried and the
huge dial. 100 feet in diameter, shows
its face six inches above the ground.
The minute hand is SO feet long and
moves feet at each move, and all Of
the frame will be so covered with
flowers as to conceal any mechanical
cOntrivances. The numerals mark
ing the hour are Is feet in length and
are made of bright colored coleus,
foliage plant that grows dense and
may be pruned with the gardeners
shears and kept symmetrical without
fear of impairing the growth. In a
circle surrounding the numerals are
collections of y distinct plants, each
collection being % feet long and II
feet wide Nature has ordained that
each of these plants should open its
| blossom at a certain hour of the day,
>
| the laws of nature are as exact as the
mechanical laws discovered by man.
| AS The hands Of the giant clock reach
the mineral naming a certain hour
the flowers in the great bed at the
| back of the hour so designated begin
, to open their buds and to eXhale the
perfume peculiar to the plant.
Still another mode of computing
| time will be shown, and this is by the
primitive hourglass. On the south
| side of the dial, behind the numeral
that denotes midday or midnight, is
built a tower, II feet square and IS
| feet high. The tower is Of wood.
The top is surmounted with a nam
moth hourglass, made Of the heaviest
and clearest crystal, with the recep-
tacles for holding the sand each SIX
| feet in length and four feet in diane
| ter. at the base The hOurglass is so
suspended that when the sand is spent
the glass automatically reverses itself
and another hour is being told off.
| Concealed in the tower is the pictur-
esque massive machinery, weighing
tons and controlling the powerful steel
shaft that extends under the center
of the floral dial more than fifty feet
| distant. The powerful machinery is
so delicately adjusted that it meas
ures off each second Of time with as
! much certainty as does the most &C
cur2te ships chronometer.
| Above the hourglass is suspended
sweet toned bell, weighing 5000
pounds, on which the hour is an
Inounced. The sound waves thus
| created penetrate to the extreme ends
of the exposition grounds. With the
first sound Of the bell, the massive
and beautiful doors to the tower swing
open. and the machinery that propel
the great clock is exposed to view. In
one minute the doors are again closed,

chickens in car load lots of
five and ten daily, which are
fattened by the new process.
The first thing to be done to
a newly arrived car of chick
ems is to place them in what is
called the greasing room,
where each one is creased and
kept so for three days, that all
vermin may be killed and the
chicken made healthy. After
that they are taken to the
stuffing room, where IS men
are in charge of machines.
Upon each machine there is a
small tube, and this tube is
inserted in the craw of the
chicken, and the craw is filled
with food and chemicals.
After IS days of this man.
ner of feeding the fowl is fat,
having gained from three to
four and a half pounds, and is
ready for the slaughter house,
from there to the cold storage,
and thence to Eastern markets.
An average daily shipment
from that place is six tons. A
machine fattening house has
recently been established near
Topeka, Kas., with a slaught-
ering capacity of 5000 a day.
The gentleman states that
there is one man in Laughlin's
employ who can fatten 500
chickens a day. The average
man only fattens 400.

Some weeks past a gentle
man of this county, who is
greatly interested in the poul-
try business, made a trip to
Sidney, Ohio, to inspect the
large chicken industry of John
Laughlin, and a talk with him
regarding the much talked of
fattening of chickens by
machinery is indeed interest
ing.
Mr.. Laughlin has in use 30
incubators, which are heated
by steam, and 90 days after
the chicken has been Matched it
is on its way to Boston in a
refrigerator car as a two
pound broiler. This one party,
whose plant uses up many
acres of ground, sells each
year one hundred thousand of
these broilers to Eastern
markets, as we'll as seventy
three thousand dozen of eggs.

incubator, this party buys

How would it do for County
Judge Odell, when he is called
upon to name delegates to the
next Good Roads" Conven-
ton, to name the members of
the fiscal court, and then for
this court to make an appro-
priation for their expenses?
From among all the dele
gates appointed for the last
Convention, only one attended
the session, and if he ever
made a report, or any practical
result ever came from his 60
ing, no one ever heard of it.
But, no matter, this man was
not charged with any duty
connected with the roads, so
that not much harm has been
done.
But as the members of the
court are determined to hold
on to the pixies, it seems to us
that it would be a good thing
to send them, at county ex-
pense, where they may learn
something of road building.
