One Seam For Fifteen Years.

1t has been said that the most mo-
notonous form Of labor is cumming
labels. But there are many others
which come very near it, In the boot
and shoe trade, for instance, the work
is divided among as many workers as
possible. One will thus make single
cut in the leather and another give one
turn of the machine handle. In some
cases a pair of shoes have passed
through fifteen pairs OF hands before
reaching completion. AS a natural re-
suit, there are workers who week a. ter
week so on performing the same work
hundreds OF times a day. Indeed in
one factory there is a woman who for
fifteen years has sewed only one seam
Her machine works SO rapidly that she
spends as much time inserting and
withdra wing her work as in the actual
sewing.-W Westminster Gazette.

HOT POTS OF HEBER.
The Curious Natural Formations

The Curious Natural Formations
Found In Utah.
OF ever increasing interest to natu-
raj curiosity seekers are the hot pots,
about three miles from Heber City,
Utah. on a branch line of the Denver
and Rio Grande railroad, running up
through picturesque Provo canyon.
This region is level plain, upon the
surface Of which arise in strange con
fusion numbers of conical shaped els
terms, the largest of them being all of
fifty feet high, hundred feet in diam
eter at the top and twice that at the
base and containing in their dark
depths immense volumes of water
heated to high, temperature in the
furnaces Of the earth. The waters con-
tain the usual chemical properties of
thermal springs and are used for bath
ing and drinking with excellent effects.
These pots have evidently been form
ed by the slow deposition through
countless centuries of the silica and
soda which enter into the composition
of the waters that once welled over
the rim. The hot pots are found in the
midst of cultivated fields and thriving
orchards Notwithstanding the peculiar
rocklike soil composition.
One of the marked peculiarities Of
the region is the hollow, rumbIing
sound caused by carriages and horses
as they move over the roadways for
miles around. is there an enormous
cavern just below the surface and will
it ever cave in?' is the anxious
inquiry of every visitor alarmed at
the strange underground sounds.-Ex-

About four hours after he had left

leader inquired if we had seen a tall,
roughly dressed man pass that way.
We told him of the barber, and he
looked from man to man and eX-
