An UNDERGROUND GARDEN.
indiana Man TO Make Coal
Mine yeEetnbles.

vnOlunN MAN
Mine yeEetnbles.
Col. Frank b. Posey, who during last
winter experimental with an underground
garden in an abandoned coal nine near
Boonville, Ind. says that before another
winters winds blow he Will nave his gar
den producing radishes, onions, tulips
habiscus and numerous other vegetables
and flowers.
He declares that he has already DEM
onstrated that his underground garden is
a success and not merely a dream. This
fall he will begin developing his plan on
a large scale and proposes to have gar
den truck" for his own table n the
tables of his n%eighbors and friends, all
to be taken from the mine garden.
The plan of this garden presented it
self to Col. Posey two years ago when
he, together with Attorney w. u. Ben
nett of Boonville, bought up several hun
bred acres of billy and broken land near
the little town of Yankeetown. 1t is on
this land hat the mine is located. lie
believed that plant life would thrive M
der artificial light, and said so. Then
he proceeded to pSove his theory and did
it by producing tulips and carnations,
which fourished and doomed in the gar.
den he laid out in the old mine.
In one of the old rooms of this aban-
doned mine Col. Posey arranged a bed
for the plants. The plants needed light,
so he arranged a small acetylene gas lamp
so it's rays would fall evenly over the
bed. Within a short time flowers were
growing rapidly, and in less than half
the time usually required for such vegeta-
ton to bloom, Col. Posey's dream" was
realized, and he was giving away flowers
to his friends in midwinter.
An acetylene gas plant large enough
to supply light for an ordinary dwelling
will be installed in the mine n the
lights SO arranged that they will distrib-
ute their rays equally over the ground in
which the plants are growing. Mr.. Posey
says that he will raise adishes, onions,
lettuce and other vegetables and various
kinds of flowers during the next winter.

Insect Enemies Of the Tes Plant.
Every animal and plant has Its para
site, and from this general law, Il.
seems, the tea plant is not exempt.
Two insects are described as spending
their lives in tea drinking. They arc
the plague Of the Assam tea gardenab
and are known as the "tea bug ana.
tea mite" The mites spend their =
tire lives on the tea plant ana arc
never known to attack any other leaf.
They live in families and societies on
the upper side OF the full grown lea1
and spin a delicate web for q Shelter,
They then puncture the leaves ana
pump out the liquid in the plant veins.
They seem to become dainty In theiH'
tastes, for a s%prinkling Of muddy water
over their floor and tea table = tho
only remedy known to check their rav-
ages. Even this is not always ~effectual.
The tea bug is still more destructive
and Is evidently possessed Of angappre-
citation Of the best kinds Of tea, since
It always attacks those Of q mild and
delicate flavor.

A Kansas man was telling stories
with reference to the propensity OF
farmers to overstate the size OF their
wheat-crops, says a writer in the Sun

man in Topeka, who was engaged in
the hardware business. A farmer, svhe
was always giving skilfully padded 40
counts OF his wheat-harvest, called -.
the hardware dealer one day, and be-
gan his usual Boosting.
"You don't tell mel" was the polite
reioinder Of the hardware man. .TWeli.-

LONGEST STEEL BRIDGE.
New Hell Gate Structure to b
Three Miles Long.

New Hell Gate Structure to BE
Three Miles Long.
Another step in the progress of the
PENNSYLVANIA railroads New York tunnel
extension was taken recently when plans
for the East river bridge of the New
York connecting railroad were submitted
to the municipal art commission for its
approval. This bridge will form part of
a steel viaduct more han three miles
long, connecting the New York, New Ha-
ven and Hartford railroad system in the
Bronx with the Long Island and the
Pennsylvania. 1t will be the longest and
~aeaviest steel bridge in the world. Eighty
thousand tons of steel will be used i n
it's construction. 1t will carry four rail
road tracks Embedded in stone ballast SO
as to render the structure noiseless.
Plans for the bridge over the waters Of
the He'll gate show a steel arch span of
1000 feet between abntments. These
abutments are stone towers dividing the
arch bridge proper from the steel viaducts
that form approaches to it. The towers
will rise to a height of 200 feet and Will
contain rooms needed for railroad opera
ton. The tracks themselves will be lao
feet above the water.

Ing is. attributed to the Chinese. Ac-
copdipg to Du Halde and the Jesuit

Books in the Celestial Empire were
