.QyEEREsT PRISON in WORLD
Arizona County jail 10 Blasted Out Of
Z Mountain Of Solid Quartz
Rock.

When the authorities or Graham
county, Arizona, decided to look about
tor n place II, which to conflne crimi-
nais. they found a natural depression
In the side of hill. This was enlarged
Into what. might be called an artificial
cave, divided into four compartments.
The cave was excavated parallel to the
side Of the mountain in which it was
made, and daylight admitted by holes
blown out Of the wall with explosives,
the windows being guarded by net
work OF heavy steel bars. The en-
trance to the depression was also
closed in the same manner, and a
Vestibule or porch of masonry built
out from 1t to provide quarters for the
sheriff and his assistants. This vesti-
bule is also divided into compart-
ments, which are connected by gates
OF steel bars. The only way OF enter
ing the prison is through the vestibule
OF masonry, and In order to escape
the inmates would have to cut their
way through three sets OF bars which
are an inch In thickness, as the win
dows are 30 high up above the rock
forming the floor Of the cells that they
could not reach them. It is necessary,
however, to have very secure place,
as the criminals In this part of the
country are OF most desperate class,
and the inmates frequently include
murderers and highwaymen. The
mountain which has thus been turned
into a prison is composed OF solid
quartz rock, and the excavation was
made principally by the use of explo-
sives. The jail is located In the town
OF Clifton, the county seat.-Wide

EASY TO TEACH BLAcKBlRD

Tho blackbird, which belongs to the
thrush family. has strong initiative
powers, and has even been taught to
speak. There is not much variety In
It's natural song, but it's voice has a
pure, fute-like tone and full volume.
The bird is very susceptible OF being
trained. and when reared by hand
from the nest Is capable OF forming
strong attachments and makes Itself
a great favorite.
When blackbird is six or eight
weeks old, his training should be be
gun. Take him to quiet room away
from any other birds, and each night
and morning whistle the portion OF
the tune you wish Ia 81 s7zaI1:i, os
play 1t on the flute. Feed him before
you begin, and put fat, lively worm
where he can see It. After you have
whistled or played the air, say TWEEN
ty times, stop, so that the bird may
have an opportunity OF Initiating it.
II he should make the attempt, give
him the worm at once, praising and
caressing him meanwhile. He will
soon begin to see why reward was
given to him, and will not be slow in
trying to earn 1t. When once he has
learned the tune he will never forget
1t, and 1t will pass into and become a
part Of his song.
After the .blackbird has completed
his education, he should be placed
near some other singing bird, whose
notes he would soon learn and blend
with his own.
Put his cage out Of doors whenever
the weather permits, and he will tell
you how pleased you have made him
But during the hot days Of summer
let him be well shaded and kept cool
as heat and dry air seem TO affect his
voice. He will begin to sing in the
end of February or the beginning OF
March, and will continue until the fall,
If the summer is not too hot.
