WONDERFUL CAVE IN MINE
Michigan College Of Mines Has coIled-
ton OF Minerals From Cavern
That Had 20 Be Destroyed.

The Michigan College OF Mines has
collection OF minerals from tho won-
derful Shattuck cave near Bisbee. In,
Arizona. According to Science. Shat
tuck cave was discovered In 1913, after
a heavy blast on tho third level OF the
Shattuck mine. When the miner who
had been working In that part OF the
level returned with the night shift.
he found great opening that
reached farther than bis light could
penetrate. Looking upward. he could
see tiny lights flashing and In the be-
lief that they we're stars, he ran back
to the shaft and declared that he had
blasted a hole clear through to the
surface. On investigation. the mine
officials found that the blast had
opened n great circular cavern $40
feet In diameter and 175 feet high.
which seemed like piece OF fairy
land. On the roof, myriads OF crys-
tails reflected tho lights from the
miners lamps. Tho walls, tho roof,
and the floor were covered with great
clusters OF crystals, and near the cen
ter OF the cavern mass OF stalactites,
40 feet long. hung from the ceiling
like a great chandelier. For the most
part the crystals were pure white; but
in places whore tho altering waters
had contained iron and copper, great
transparent stalactites and stalag
mites, some ruby red. others n clear
emerald green or azure blue, added to
the beauty OF the scene. The mining
company illuminated the cave with
electricity. and has permitted thou
sands OF visitors to see IL. The mine
workers had to I'LL the cave with waste
rock-a necessity that led them to
send the specimens OF minerals to the
Michigan College OF Mines.

CHANGED HIS THEORY
MEEK MAN GOT TIRED OF BEING
IMPOSED UPON.
Finally Decided There Was Nothing
In the Idea and Went Strongly on
the other Taek-WaxcdA
Rich and Fat.

Once upon a time there was a man
who had a wonderful disposition
Nothing RULED him. Mild-mannered
and gentle. he went about his business
regularly on weekdays and attended
church regularly on Sundays. His
favorite beatitude was, Blessed are
the meek, for they shall inherit the
earth" He was constantly hoping
that someone would strike him on
the cheek. so that he could turn the
other one. and he always kept handy
cloak. which, in obedience TO the
Biblical Injunction. he could give also
TO anybody who might take his coat.
II was his policy In political and
economic matters invariably 10 be
agreeable. generous, and self-effacing.
When the politicians broke their
promises, he always supposed they
must have had n good reason for so
doing. He believed that the trust
magnates were more interested I'm
the welfare OF the country than in
their own profits, and whenever the
trusts raised prices he assumed that
the poor owners wouldn't have done
II unless II was absolutely necessary.
Thus. until he was past middle age.
was his serenity undisturbed, and he
= Kept getting poorer all the time Final
ly he was down and out altogether.
whereupon he went to the banker with
whom he had deposited all his life
and who happened to be also the
chief owner OF the local street railway
company which was famous through
out the country for high rates and
poor service. When the man asked
the banker for a temporary loan the
banker was very. very kind to the
man, and. with tears in his eyes, ex-
planned that there was no one in all
the world to whom he would rather
lend money than to the man. but the
fact was that business was business
and finance was finance, and he did
not consider the man a good risk, be-
cause he was too easy-going.
The man went away and began to
brood over his situation. For the first
time In his life he found himself fear
ing lest his temper get the better OF
him. He kept on brooding, and then
he discovered that he was actually
getting mad. and the more he brooded
the madden he got He muttered,
Blessed are the meekl' BAH Ac.
cursed are the meek. for they shall be
imposed uponi" He began to Judge
everybody on the theory that they
would Judge him whether he judged
them or not He declared that any
man who struck him on the cheek
had better get out OF the way II he
did not want to get a fusillade OF
blows in return, and If a fellow took
his coat, he would make him give
back whole suit.
His fortunes Immediately changed
for the better. and in a short time he
became so influential that nothing was
done In the community without first
securing his approval.

serve they first make mad-Ellis o.

A Flood of Wine

The Argentinians are a wine-drink-

fish descent and are accustomed to
having wine with their meals. The i'm
migrants, who have come in by the

half OF the population, are mostly
Italians and Spaniards. all of whom
drink wine every day. All of the small
Italian farmers have their own wine
