Articles Dropped In Calumet
Mine Shaft Always Found
Clinsins to East Sids-Invest-
i8ation Going On.

It is an interesting scientific fact.
and one not generally known. that
nothing that falls from the mouth OF
the deepest mining shaft In the world
ever reaches the bottom. This has
been demonstrated ut the famous Red
Jacket shaft of the Big Calumet. The
article. no matter what shape or size
1t may be. is invariably found clinging
to the east side OF the shaft.
One day a monkey wrench was
dropped, but It did not get to the
bottom. 1t was found lodged against
the east side OF the shaft several hun
dred feet down. This incident COM
ing to the attention OF the Michigan
College of Mines, II was decided to
make a careful test OF the apparent
phenomenon. 1t was decided best to
use small but heavy spherical body.
and marble. tied TO a thread was
suspended about twelve feet below
the mouth Of the shaft. When the
marble was absolutely still. assuring
that 1t would drop straight down. the
thread was burned through by the
fame Of candle. The marble fell.

American Settlers In Northwest

Under Another Flag.

From away out at Calgary. In the

In one continuous stream, comes an
admissions newspaper admission
which will be read with interest and
pleasure by the friends these Ameri-
can settlers have left behind them

the Boston Transcript. The admis-
sion comes In the form OF com.
plaint from the Calgary Herald that

In greater numbers than those of

papers may be disappointing and a
little discouraging to the Calgary

Americans who are in northwest
Canada are there because land Is
cheap; and because they consider
that In their particular lines Of enter
prise-mostly farming and stock rails

than in the states from which they
have emigrated. Back OF all. too.
there is the Inherent love Of the An

fields. and meeting new experiences.

same qualities as the men who set.

these qualities will come into play
