that part of the business district of
Minneapolis was built over great
subterranean cavern, whose rocky
roof lay some sixty or more feet be-

cave had been caused by a subter.

The world is not yet so settled
that all the old thrilling tales of new
country must go out of stock. 1t is
several years since western America
furnished an exciting story of a rail,
way race for pass through the
mountains. But now from Alaska
comes the old tale retold. Rival roads
building from the southern coast
northward toward the Yukon and the
coppermines, have chased for the
needed passes; and pitched battles
have been fought with rifles 1t is the
same story wherever business goes in
advance of the law.

Origin of Coral AtolIs.

According to the Investigations of
Monsieur Seurat among the Pacific
islands, there is a slow elevation
going on there, where, by lifting the
reefs gradually above the waves,
preserves them from erosion at the
top, and enables vegetation and GER
tain animal forms of a terrestrial
character to exist there. This is
quite in opposition to Darwin's idea
that the atolls were formed by the
gradual submergence Of small
islands, that the coral-insects built
up encircling reefs as the islands
sank. Monsieur Seurat shows that
the elevation Of the islands is gen.
eral phenomenon, but variable in
amount, some islands, like Aukena
in the Gambler archipelago, rising
rapidly, and others very slowly. Both
the flora and the fauna of these
islands are confined to very few
species, although seen from a dis
lance some of them appear very rich
in vegetation.

THE WHOLE FAMILY
Mother Finds Food For Grown-U Ups
and Children as Well.

Food that can be eaten with relish
and benefit by the children as we'll as
the older members of the family,
makes a pleasant household commod-
ity.
Such food is Grape-Nuts. 1t not
only agrees with and builds up chill
dren, but older persons who, from
bad habits Of eating, have become
dyspeptics.
A Phila. lady, after being benefited
herself, persuaded her husband to try
Grape-Nuts for stomach trouble. She
writes:
] about eight years ago had a Sc
we're attack of congestion of stomach
and bowels. From that time on I had
to be very careful about eating, as
nearly every kind of food then known
to me seemed to cause pain.
-Four years ago I commenced to
use Grape-Nuts. I grew stronger and
better, and from that time I seldom
have been without it; have gained in
health and strength and am now
heavier than I ever was.
my husband was also in bad
condition - his stomach became SO
weak that he could eat hardly any
thing with comfort. I got him to try
Grape-Nuts and he soon found his
stomach trouble had disappeared.
my girl and boy, 8 and years
old, do not want anything else for
breakfast but Grape-Nuts and more
healthy children cannot be found. =

Science in Dairy Methods.

In Denmark the dairymen have
succeeded in making every animal
pay profits. This was done by thirty
or more owners of dairies employing
an official tester to report upon the
results from individual cows. After
carefully watching and weighing the
milk for given time the inspector
reported on the individuals In each
herd. The result was that poor COWS
went to the meat market and the
producing value of dairy cows In
creased in one year from SIS to $50
each. Such results came from sys-

CATCHING BIRDS IN NETS.
Method Employed Along the Coast
Lands of England.

In various parts of the country
iii ght nets are used on certain parts
of the coast for taking birds during
the nighttime, but those at Frisk-
ney, on the Wash, in Lincolnshire,
have become famous on account OF
their size and the quantity Of birds
that are taken in them.
On this particular portion Of the
coast. says the London Daily Graphic,
the tide goes out for very long way.
Next to the big sea bank, which pre-
vents the surrounding country from
being flooded, there is a large marsh
intersected with dykes, and covered
with glass wort, which is locally
known as samphire; next to this is
q big stretch of sand, and following
this is vast mud fiat, famous for its
cookies. There are several men there
who work fight nets-George Bray,
the old wildfOwler, has four of the
longest, consisting Of eleven lengths,
each length Of net being thirty-six
yards long and about six feet deep,
made of fine, strong black cotton
Irvine, with a mesh six inches square.
Along the top and bottom of the net
runs thin strong cord to attach it
to a strong ash pole, which is placed
at every thirty-seven yards distance.
The lower running cord is attached
to the pole about two feet from the
ground, so that here is plenty of slack
If it were placed at it's full stretch
the birds in striking would often be
thrown back and escape, instead OF
being curled up in hopeless tangle.
The best time to catch the Wlldfowi
is on what are known as the 'darks,'
that is, dark, stormy nights with high
tides and the wind blowing north and
northeast. Quiet moonlight nights
are bad, as the birds, flying low, see
the net and avoid the snare by rising
over the top of it. Of course with Sc
large a mesh many small birds pass
through without being caught, and.
being of thin Irvine, often when a
large bunch of duck or geese strike 1t
they go clean through 1t, leaving moth
ing but q big rent in the net and a
few feathers to tell tine tale. The
writer has seen various ducks and
gulls, woodcock, snipe, plovers, owls
and many different species, both large
and small, caught in the tolls. One
has to visit the net at daybreak to
take out the spoil, otherwise the gulls
and the gray backed crows make very
short work Of the poor captives.
In netting the ubiquitous and de-
Btructive sparrow all that is needed is
q special sparrow net, pocketed on
two long, thin poles. The Ivy on the
house sides and walls and the stacks
in the farmyards are worked all over
by raising the net as high as possible,
clapping it on to the wall or stack,
and then drawing it gradually down.

ed, fly out into the tolls. Several
scores of birds may be captured in an

As protest against the promiscuous
appropriations of State money to private
enterprises. the committee on manufac-
turers and labor of the Assembly, which
comprises two members of the labor
unions will introduce a resolution asking
an appropriation of $1,000 for the State
Federation of Labor. The appropriation
would practically be to the Social Demo
cratic party of the State and would mean
that State money is appropriated to ad-
vance a minority political organization.
Those who were instrumental in present
ing the measure do not expect it to pass,
but point out that the State has made APP
preparations as follows: Wisconsin But
termakers' Association, $1,000; Wiscon-
sin Cheesemakers Association (including

consin Dairymen's Association (including

say that if money is given these private

should not be appropriated by the State
to an association which has for its object
the lettering of labor conditions.
