A THRILLING MINUTE.
II Made Up In Intensity of Terror
What 1t Lacked In Time.

What 1t Lacked In Time.
The adventure Of contributor to
Science lasted but a minute, but 1t
made up liz intensity of terror what it
lacked in duration of time. The writer
tells his own story:
Some years ago while I was making
researches in an. excavation near
Frankfort, o., the center wall of the
mound was undermined by the work
men, and | was struck by a mass C
falling earth. / had just stopped *,
examine a small bone which had been
uncovered when earth to the amount
of several cart loads dropped on ne
No one else was in the excavation, th,
men having gone to the top of the
mound.
The falling mass knocked me back
ward and l fell with my head and
shoulders on small heap of earth. The
falling wall of earth looked black to me,
AMI I we'll remember the rush of wind
It brought.
At first felt little pain, only intense
pressure which forced the buttons of
my costume partly inside my flesh
My watch was pressed tight against
two ribs which were broken. The skin
on my forehead seemed cut. but 1t was
the pressure of my hat forcing the flesh
between the straw. The knife In my
pocket seemed burning hot. Just under
the small of my back was large cloG
which gave me uncomfortable pain. as If
my spine were slowly breaking. Then
II stopped. and | felt nothing.
Thoughts raced through my head like
lightning. thoughts OF tho past. present
and future. | remember trying In vain
to move u hand or Il finger ] was per.
feetly motionlesa My chest could not
be inflated, and the downward pressure
had forced the air out of my lungs |
could move my chin and open aud shut
my mouth. ! tried to keep my mouth
closed to prevent Its being filled, but IL
instinctivcly opened, and the earth fell
In. Then the assurance of strangling
came to me. but did not much care.
1t was Just sixty seconds. the sur
veyor said, before the men reached me
and l felt the earth move slightly. A
shovel struck my scalp and cut me. 1t
felt like redhot iron. When my head
was uncovered the pressure on my
body was so great the blood was forced
to my head until my rescuers feared
my veins would burst
I observed everything, but could not
move. The partial paralysis lasted
several days. l have never wholly re-
covered from the effects Of my adven-
ture I cannot enter a cave or stand
near a bank of eaSth without terrible
sensations.

Hank From the Tonhs.

Some harps have been discovered Ia
Egyptian tombs whose strings give
forth music of a certain kind after a
silence of 1900 years.
That is long time for a musical
instrument to be holding canned music
stored up in its insides waiting for
some one to come and touch the but
ton and allow 1t to escape. And thinl
what a shock il would be on the deli
cate and high bred instrument if the
vandal ha md that snatched it from its
resting place toek it up and tore OF
{ few yards of ragtime.
1t seems wonderful. but there are
really greater possibilities in present
day music. When Our present civiliza.
ton shall have passed away and been
forgotten think what a surprise and
shock il viii be TO the sayant who is
patiently digging in the remains Of
Podunk when he digs up photograph

Getting Their Moneys Worth,

Too much censure should not be Wis
tied on the sightseers at the country
fair who by their jeers caused bal
loonist to go up when his balloon was
unsafe. thereby forcing him TO take a
moonlight ride over Lake Michigan
when he wanted to go only few miles
out into the country to see how the
crops were looking.
The dear public has been bunkoed so
Otter in its amusements that il may
be pardoned for having thought that
the balloon ascension was only adyer-
tised for the purpose of selling tickets.
II n man pays admission with the full
expectation of seeing some one killed

His Barometer.

He thought the times were out OF
joint:
This was the reason why
He had line of gold bricks fine,
And no one came to buy.
Although he made a bargain rate,
He couldn't understand
Tho reason why good men were shy
And left his stock on hand.
He heard prosperity was here
With plenty in its mitt,
But he was shy of a supply
And much he doubted it,
Though men in many other line~
In profits took delight.
lie still picked flaws in things because
The suckers would not bite.
The game ulat ono time brought him
cash
Now only brought him woe.
For suckers who looked good were few
And wouldn't try throw.
No wonder he was sad OF heart,
Feriern and had the blues
And prone to fret, He couldn't get
What seemed his honest dues,
TITS thus we gauge prosperity
And call IL very fine
When all the fish that we could wish
Are dangling on our line,
But with long range telescope
Its form We could not spy
II suckers only came 20 grin
And wink the other eye.

Scientists are thoroughly convinced
that rats are the most prolific propagh-
tors of the plague, and n campaign Of
determination has been begun against
them In Japan. No less than a.s2o,o0o
rats have been killed In Tokyo alone
since 1900. A Japanese scientist says
"Ail the civilized nations have TO fight
this common enemy, the plague. l be
Neve that there ought TO be an interna.
tional conference To discuss plan, col
lect money and organize an interna-
tional army To fight and vanquish this
disease from the surface OF the earth,
The expedition should be sent to the
region of India and south China. The
expense needed for such an enterprise
would he only small part Of what the
civilized nations are spending for their
armies and navies.'

soon after the days of kits a boy reaches
the age when he yearns with his whole

will test his muscular skill or endurance.
At this age an appropriate present would
be a rawhide or rope lariat, such as is
used by the Buffalo Bill riders. \ pair
