pends upon the difference in temper
ature Of the two air columns. That Is
the cold outward current Is much more
noticeable on hot days than on cool
days in summer, and in winter the
strongest inward current is noticed on
the coldest days.
"This fact accounts for the common
belief that the freezing takes place
more rapidly and that the mine Is
colder on hot than on cool days. !
1.-The temperature of the mine. or, in
other words, Of the air as 1t issues
from the crevices, remains practically
constant throughout the summer.
which is proved by thermometer read
ings. However, the difference between
this constant temperature and the
temperature prevailing outside the
mine Is obviously greatest on the hot
test days, and, therefore, as one en-
ters the mine. the contrast is more no
ticeable. This causes one to believe
that the mine Is colder when It really
is not 1t Is true, howeevr, that the
ice is formed most rapidly during the
hottest weather. This Is not because
the temperature of the mine Is lower
as is generally supposed, but is due to
the fact that the circulation of air is
more rapid; that is, a greater quantity
of cold air issues from the numerous
apertures, and a greater amount Of
cold is available for the formation of
ice.
IF this is a true explanation of this
phenomenon, we may say. with truth,
that in this particular instance 1t Is
the heat Of summer which causes the
Ice to form, but, at the same time, we
cannot disregard the fact that 1t Is the
severity of the proceeding winter, and
the natural arrangement Of the rock
strata which makes 1t possible for the
heat of summer to produce this pecu-
liar phenomenon" '''..H

QUAIL TRAINED 70 FIGHT
India Natives Starve the Birds While
TRAINING Thorn.

India Natives starve the Birds While
Training Thorn.
In India-that land Of so many
strange things-the natives take. keen
delight in training quail to fight each
other and make wagers on the bird
they think will win. No doubt. you,
have seen two roosters ruff1e up their
feathers and fly at each other In the
barnyard; well, in India, the quail arc
encouraged to do the same thing by
the cruel natives.
And they train them to be good fight
ers in most peculiar way. First, a
young quail is taught to eat millet
seed from the hand Of his master!
Then, after he has become accustomed
to being handled and to pick up the
seed, he is placed on table. or on the
floor, upon which is a small mirror and
several seed.
The quail has not been fed for some
time so, as soon as he spies the seed
he makes for them. But just as he Is
about to pick them up, his master puts
his hand over them and takes them
away. He does this over and over
again until the poor bird is almost
frantic for something to eat. Then the
master repeats the trick, but holds up
the mirror so the quail can not help
but see himself in It, And he, poor,
hungry. deluded creature, thinks his
own reflection is another quail that is
gobbling up the seed just as he is
about to pick them up. So, enraged.
he flies at the mirror.
Then an older and a thoroughly
trained quail is brought on and-the
young quail attacks him, thus receiv-
Ing his first lesson in fighting. Like
game roosters, the quail have long and
sharp spurs; and often one bird kills
another in. a fight, while the natives
crowd around and make wagers and
utter cries Of delight and encourage
ment to their chosen fighter.-Houston

s Her Hold out.-An aged couple In
Iowa recently sold for $4,000 the farm
whereon they had lived for many
Years. In due course the purchaser
called with a notary to close up the
sale. The notary had prepared deed,
which the farmer signed and passed
to his wife. whose signature was also
necessary.

The husband and the notary reason
ed with her, but to no avail. She was
immovable. The purchaser evinced
signs Of nervousness, since he felt
that the woman's demands might be
unreasonable.
Finally, after further parley, he
steeled himself to put the momentous
question, How much will you take to
sign the deed?"
