Prospectors Buried Alive.

Mitchell county, North Carolina,
was the scene of a tragedy last week
when two young prospectors were
buried alive in smass of earth and
mica in an abandoned mica mine. The
discovery of their predicament was
due solely to the faithfulness of a lit
tie dog, which stood guard for three
days at the mouth Of the pit. One of
the entombed men, John English, was
still alive when rescuers came to the
shafts mouth in response to the yelp-
ing Of Eng1ish's dog. The mans face

A CAR THAT CARRIES ITS OWN
TRACK.

The curious automobile shown in
the photograph, which carries with it
its own track, is designed for use in
the rougher parts of the United States
where roads are either altogether miss
ing or are practically impossible dur
ing a large part of each year. The
track consists of a number of heavy
feet, linked together to form an endless
chain. This chain is revolved by the
sprocket wheel shown near the rear
of the photograph. With this machine
great weights can be carried over the
toughest ground It will even go up
and down the sides of an extremely
steep ravine and makes nothing of or
binary ruts and mud holes. A number
of these strange automobiles are in

NEW LINK BETWEEN SCIENCE
AND BUSINESS.

Out at the University Of Kansas they
have taken a step which seems to be
the last link needed to bind together
science and business. In the big
chemical laboratory of the university
eight or nine post graduate students
are already at work, each of them try
ing to solve some problem which
means fortune to the business man
or corporation directly interested. The
young man shown in the photograph,
for instance, Is spending three years
in the study of the chemistry of bread.
During this time he is supported by a
fund appropriated by the National AS
ISOLATION of Master Bakers. Another
student is working to find better
enamel for lining the inside Of steel
bath-tubs. His scholarship of $1,000
a year is paid by large corporation,
which will be directly benefited by
his work. These post graduate students
will also be paid certain per cent of

THE TRAVELLING RooTLEss GAG.
TUS.

The curious round object shown in
the photograph is a rootless cactus,
a native of the great California des-
ert. For eight or nine months in the
year, in the shape of a fattened globe,
the plant is blown about the fiat sandy
floor of the desert by the winds which
sweep fercely in from the ocean.
When the first cloudburst breaks over
the desert in the spring, the dried-up
cactus sends out a perfect network of
thread-like roots, often spreading over
circle whose radius is ten feet. From
these roots spring small shoots each
Of which becames a cactus like the
mother plant. The young plants suck
the life out of the parent. When the

floor, some Of them travelling 40 or

with a conspicuously important role.
The great popularity of Florence
Roberts has been won by series of

that her impersonation is the tri-

them, laden down with the little
business men of the streets, till
they seemed fairly alive with wav.
ing arms and wagging heads in the
medley of cheers, fell in behind the
mayor and were followed through
the streets by great throng of
newsboys, marching and carrying
banners.
Manager J. E. Manson of the Col

tomobiles just to give the boys a
good time, and between that parade
and the elaborate entertainment
down at the Arcade theater, they
certainly had 1t. All along the
streets cigar dealers and merchants
waved welcoming hands as they
heard their names or those of their
firm going up in the joyous howl of
youthful glee, and the kids"
re.gned supreme.
Down at the Arcade they were
given one of the greatest treats of
their lives by "the funny man." as

cured by the manager of the thea

do funny tricks and tell stories for
