The ice cave at DEBORAH. Iowa, is
one of natures wonders. The only
other caves of a similar character of
note are one located in Kentucky and
another in Russia. Scientists have
advanced several theories as to the
formation OF ice in the DEBORAH cave
during the summer time. 1t is a
known fact. however. that ice forms
in the summer and disappears in win
ter. That the amount Of moisture in
the ground has its bearing has also
been proved by the disappearance OF
ice in times Of continued extreme
drouth When this condition arises,
though the ice may disappear, the
cave will be cool and damp. When
conditions are normal ice begins
forming in the spring and increases
to the thickness of three to four
inches. The cave is located in the
side of a bluff on the north side of
the city and fully 100 feet above the
Upper Iowa river. It's location is pic
turesque and the citizens of DEBORAH
have constructed fine drive that ex-
tends for a half mile along the face
of the bluff. At one time a specula-
tive citizen thought to make money
out of the cave by closing the en-
trance with door and charging adj
mission. The door stopped the cir
culation of air, the ice melted, and

LIGHTING BY SUGAR

The suggestion has been put for
ward that there is every possibility
that, In the near future, sugar will
play an important part in the pro-
vision of new method of artificial
lighting. Experiments have shown
that when disks of loaf sugar are
placed on lathe and rapidly rotated
while hammer plays lightly against
them, there is an almost continuous
radiation of artificial light At pres
ent the practical value of the discov-
cry is nil, but it is quite within the
bounds of possibility that discoveries
Will soon be made that will render
its practical application a certainty.
The cause of the phenomena is not
at present correctly understood. but
it is probably due to some change in
the formation of the sugar crystals.
Cases where the act of capitalization
Is accompanied by flashes of light are
not unknown and probably this is due
to some similar cause. At any rate,
this appears to be the only feasible
explanation, as it has been proved
that the light is not caused by the
heating of the sugar during the ex-
pertinent

ECZEMA DISFIGuRED BABY

Our little boy Gilbert was troubled
with eczema when but a few weeks
old. His little face was covered with
sores even to back of his ears. The
poor little fellow suffered very much.
The sores began as pimples, his little
face was dishgured very much. We
hardly knew what he looked like. The
face looked like raw meat We tied
little bags of cloth over his hands to
prevent him from scratching. He was
very restless at night, his little face
itched.
1--WE consulted two doctors at Chi
cago, where we resided at that time.
After trying all the medicine of the
two doctors without any result, we
read of the Cuticura Remedies, and
at once bought Cuticura Soap and
Ointment Following the directions
carefully and promptly we saw the
result, and after four weeks, the dear
child's face was as fine and clean as
any little baby's face. Every one who
saw Gilbert after using the Cuticura
Remedies was surprised He has a

ROPES OF HUMAN HAIR

We are constantly getting some OF
our cherished ideas shattered by re-
search. One of the stories which was
not always accepted as an axiom re-
lates to the ladies of Carthage, who.
we we're taught, cut off their hair, Of
fered their tresses in the temples OF
the gods and then turned them into
ropes for the warships when their
country was threatened. The news
now comes from Antwerp, through a
French source, thai a manufactured
in that city has turned his attention
to this method of rope making. He
asserts that human hair possesses
great durability, strand car lift just
three-quarters of ton, ard another
advantage is that suck rope does
not stretch The Amsterdam manu-
facturer's idea is to use his hair ropes
for aeroplanes in place of wire stays.

truly horrible incident which befell
an English lady. Her butler" was in
the habit of calling loudly beneath
her window every evening about Z.
His cry suggested that he was calling
either the cattle or the chickens
home; but though she had neither, the
lady for some time took no notice,
until one evening. having the curios-
ity to look, she was Mortified to see
the butler, like a oueky pied piper,
surrounded by a troop of rats. There
were quite so of them, from the big

meat and other bits. In a plague

COSTS LESS THAN SIS
CENTS A BUSHEL TO
RAISE WHEAT IN
CANADA.
A FREQUENT QUESTION AN
SWERED.

Western Canada probably suffered
less from weather conditions during
the year of 1851 than did almost any
other portion Of the country. Seeding
was most successful and the growing
conditions up TO July were never bet
ter. Crops of all kinds showed Won
derful growth at that time and were
universally good. but there was not
the usually excellent ripening weather
in August and the effects of this were
felt. Many fields that late in July
promised 40 and 80 bushels yield OF
wheat were reduced to % and 30 BUSH
els, while some of course gave the
full expectancy and others somewhat
less The quality was also lowered.
In face of these conditions, it is found
that during the months of September
and October. the total amount of con-
tract wheat marketed and inspected
was about 20 million bushels, which
realized total of 1914 million dollars,
the average price for this wheat be-
ing 97A cents; that below contract
for the two months vas little over
10 million bushels, which at an aver
age price of 1914 cents per bushel
realized a little over eleven million
dollars, or a grand total for all wheat
of 80 million bushels, which realized
d total of little over thirty-one mill
lion dollars.
On the first OF November, there
was in the hands of the farmers Of
Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta
for sale and seed about 100 million
bushels of wheat, from which fact
some idea may be had of the value
of the wheat crop of 1911.
A careful canvass made by the Win
nipeg Free Press made of a number
of men farming in large way indi-
Gates that even with the extreme ex-
pense of harvesting the crop, which
has been caused by the bad weather
and difficulty in threshing, wheat has
been produced and put on the market
for less than SIS cts. a bushel. The
average freight rate is not over 10
cts. per bushel This would make the
cost of production and freight &c cts.
and would leave the farmer an actual
margin on his low-grade wheat Of
1755 cts. and for his higt-grade wheat
of 1871 cts; and though this is not
as large a profit as the farmer has
every right to expect, it is profit
not to be despised, and which should
leave a very fair amount of money to
his credit when all the expenses Of
the year have been paid, unless the
value of low-grade wheat sinks very
much below its present level.
