Whole Acre Lifted Out of Place.

Propelled by some force beneath the surface, an entire acre of ground near Underwood farm, seven miles now from six inches to two feet above the level of the surrounding land. Formerly the land was on level with the land surrounding it. The change took place in a single night. Farmers in the vicinity claim that last Satur- day night they heard a strange noise as of a cyclone, but could not account that this acre of ground had been raised from a level with the surround ing land.
 There is no one here who can ac- count for the peculiar phenomenon, but it is the belief of many that it was caused by gas. At the end of the raised land there is clear break, and the land is several inches higher than the land immediately adjoining it. To ward the center of the acre the land is about two feet higher than near the edge. Hundreds of persons living in the vicinity have visited the scene in the last few days, but no one is able to give an explanation for the peculiar condition. Many fear that the lifting of this acre means that an extinct volcano has broken loose and fear that other sections of land in the vicinity will be lifted out of place.

 Largest Evsr Known.
 The penitentiary deposit according to the books of, the state auditor is $S0,30017, the largest sum ever to the credit of the penitentiary since any record has been kept of the amount of money on this one fund Two months ago the fund reached $56,000 and it was declared by state officials then that the penitentiary management had far exceeded even the fondest hopes of those who be- lie1ed in the present method of handl- ing the penitentiary. The present de- posit is S30,000 larger still. Members of the Penitentiary Board and Super intendent J. A. Pitcock believe this deposit tells for itself the story of how they have managed penitentiary affairs. The only debts unpaid out of this money are some of the bills for the past month, which have not yet been drawn. These amount to less than S1500

The Charge OF the Light Brigade" has
In recent years been discovered to be
the site OF an ancient Greek city.
Much OF this buried town. which Is
believed to be the Chersonesus Tauri-
ca. the scene Of Euripides 'Iphigenia
in Tauris," has been excavated with
most interesting results.
Besides the ruins Of temples and Of
homes, says Miss Annette NJ. B. Mea-
kin In volume on Russia. there have
been found many things which indi-
cate that the city was abandoned hur-
riedly. Money was left scattered on
the floors. and bits Of bread and other
food are found In disordered array.
Near stone canal wag found an
ancient hens nest, In which were six
eggs which probably dated back to a
period before the birth of Christ.
Three had been broken by falling
earth and two smashed to atoms, but
one was quite whole. with dried up
yolk inside 1t. Some careless house
wife had failed to keep track Of pull
let.
Thousands of Russian tourists visit
the museum at Balaklava. and as
these eggs attracted more attention
than ali the marbles and other fine
specimens the archaeologist has fitted
up what he calls an archaeological
buffet" In glass case are the re-
mains Of the eggs, the bits Of bread,
grain and many other reminders Of
Greek cookery. and about this the
tourists may be found grouped at all
times Of the day, more impressed than
by anything else In the place.
