A WHISKEY FIRE
LASTED 40 YEARS
Burned Day and Night and Was En-
tinguished at Cost of $4,000
and Millions of Carbonic Acid.

Perhaps the most remarkable be-
ginning and ending to a colliery fire
was in the case of a mine near Stir
ling, Scotland, belonging to the Sau-
chic Colliery Company. The first
shaft they sank was abandoned in
favor of another in a better position.
The disused shaft became the secret
headquarters of a gang Of illicit whis-
ky distilIers. In the abandoned mine
works they set up their still and
turned out thousands of drops of
Scotch" that had never paid duty.
One day, however, the fire from
their furnaces set the coal seam in a
blaze and they had to flee for their
lives. In very short time the flames
were pouring from the shaft and
cracks in the ground, lighting up the
whole countryside. The fire was
walled in with mud. 1t took five years
to build this wall at a cost Of $4,000
and then it was useless. Sir Colds
worthy Quincy, the inventor Of the
steam jet, was called in. He sealed
up the mine as far as possible and
! then pumped into 100000 cubic
! feet of carbonic acid and nitrogen. In
three weeks the fire that had been
/ burning day and night for forty years
| was put out.

A SUGGESTION TO FARMERS
WHO FIGHT THE PESKY FLIES
They Will Not Stay Where Walls Are
of a Blush Tint.

Farmers whose barns and out
Nouses are infested by flies in the
summer season may be interested in
learning how to Danish the pests.
According to the Bloemfontein
Friend farmer had many cows hous-
ed in different sheds saw, without
being able to prevent it, the annoy
ance to which the animals were sub
jected. He happened, however to OBJ
serve that one shed, the walls OF
which were of a somewhat blush
tint, was free from flies, and the cows
were unwoTried by their attacks.
Thereupon he added bit OF blue
color to the lime with which he COW
cred the walls Of his sheds, and from
that moment the flies deserted the
premises.
The following is the formula he
used in providing this effective spe-
cifc against flies: To twenty gal
Ions of water add ten pounds of slak-
ed lime and one pound of ultrama-
rine. The wash should be applied
twice during the summer.

KANSAS CITY, Kan.-James G,
MeCoy died here today following a
brief illness.
Mccoy was known to fame as the
man who promoted and laid the IA
nous cattle trail. leading from the
great plains of Texas to Abilene, a
station on the Union Pacific railroad,
in Kansas, over which, during the
decade following 1867, upwards OF
ten million head of cattle, valued at
S15O,OOO,00O, were driven. He was
a neighbor of Abraham Lincoln in
early life. having been born at
Springfield, H., December 20, 1887.
Engaging in the drover business
Mccoy. in the middle of the sixties,
found it difficult to secure supplies OF
beef cattle, and he finally made a
trip through the middle west IN an
effort to solve the problem. In Texas
he found vast herds, but no means OF
TRANSFORMATION. The nearest railroad
was Sedalia, Mo, and water rates on
livestock were prohibitive. Surveying
the situation Mccoy remarked, half
iokingly. to an acquaintance, why
not make a summer drive up to that
new line in Kansas The sugges-
ton raised a laugh among the cat
tlemen.
Clinging to his idea Mccoy return
ed east and attempted to interest the

president of the Union Pacific, but
was told that his scheme was lmprac-
ticable. He then went to the mana
ger of the Sedalia line, whose office
he was asked to leave when his pro-
ject became known.
Nothing daunted, Mccoy went out
on the line of the Union Pacific, then
nearing completion, and selected Abb
lene as the northern terminus OF the
long trail he selected to establish.
The railroad refusing to act he built
stockyards capable of holding 5000
head of cattle and erected such crude
buildings as he thought would be
needed.
At the head of a party of survey
ors he proceeded to lay out and mark
the trail, leading south from Abilene
across the prairies of Kansas, the
then Indian Territory, the Texas Pan
handle and into the center of that
state-a distance of nearly 1000
miles. On the cattle plains he and
his agents rode from ranch to ranch
in an effort to induce the owners to
try the experiment of sending their
herds north. During 1867 the first
of the great migrations took place,
80, 600 head reaching Abilene and be-
ing shipped thence to the eastern
markets. McCOy's compensation came
from a small commissi n, which the
railroad finally agreed to allow him
on each car of cattle shipped, an
which endured but a
short time.

THE GREATEST SPRING
EAST OF THE ROCKIES
Yields More Than Twenty Million
Gallons of Water Daily.

Gallons of Water Daily.
The most remarkable spring east
of the Rocky mountains is at Belle
font, Pa. The great spring, which
yields 20,8O0,00O gallons of water
every "a hours, or 14.500 gallons a
minute, has not varied one-Quarter
of an inch the past so years. One
fourth of its output supplies Belle
fonte and vicinity with water at a
cheap rate, a householder being per-
mitted the use of as many faucets as
he desires for $3.50 year Three
fourths of the water the spring yields
flows in a large stream into creek.
Neither drOuths nor floods affect
the spring In the wettest weather
the water is never muddy, indicating
that absolutely no surface water ever
drains into it. 1t is hard limestone
water, and its temperature changes
but one degree during the year. In
winter its temperature is 50 degrees
and in summer 81 degrees.
Biologists claim they have traced
the source of this remarkable spring
as far as Lake Geneva, New York.

10000 UNITE IN
CALL FOR PEACE
Holy Name Societies in New Jersey
in Strong Protest the Curse of
Profanity and War.

IIOAdIltJ anu ""i'
The Holy Name Societies of New
Jersey came out especially strong on
Sunday last, when nearly 10000
Catholic men took part in parades
and demonstrations as a protest
against profanity and the cOntinu-
ance of the European war.
The occasion was the annual Holy
Name demonstrations and in almost
all communities it was marked by
large and enthusiastic rallies. In
Jersey City the marchers totaled 25,-
600, while 10000 in Newark showed
their practical detestation of bias
phemy and profanity by the public
parade and exercises. Five thousand
participated in the call for decency
and peace in HOboken, and O,000 in
Orange.
At the same time in Washington a
parade of 10. 900 men and boys, mem
bers of the Holy Name Society, with
banners and music formed one Of
the most impressive pageantS that
the capital has witnessed in a long
time. The demonstration was an or
ganized and impressive protest
against profanity.
The Holy Name Society was organ
ized to fight against profanity and
blasphemy, and its successful activi-
ties throughout the nation during the
short period Of it's existence have
been a remarkable tribute to the en-
ergy, religious devotion and desire
for giving proper respect to God and
their neighbors displayed by it's or
ganizers and members.

'PLUCKED MANY PEARLS
So, 900 HIS REWARD FOR IDLE

Texas Cowboy Got a Most Pleasant
Surprise When He Exhibited His
Find to a Jeweler.

Sebe Teblow didn't say a word
about it to the cowboys of the Bar K
outfit, for which he was COOK. out
OF the Concho river in Texas but
when the branding season was ended
he rode into San Antonio and threw
down a bag of 100 pearls he had
picked from mussels.
"How much are these things
WORTH" he asked He thought il the
lot netted him $15 he would be rich
enough to go to San Antonio or Fort
Worth for a time
Raked EN- Out With Stick.
These were the pearls he found one
afternoon when the camp was pitch
ed under some giant spreading pecan
trees close to the bank of the clear
waters of the Concho He had most
of the afternoon to himself and he
decided to do some fishing. His
attention was attracted to the great
number of mussels that almost paved
the bed of the stream. He soon tired
fishing and, for want of something
else to do, he raked out the mussels
with a stick and opened them in
search of pearls. He found pearls in
many of the shells, some of them
large and beautiful.
By the time he had to go back to
the chuck wagon and get supper he
had accumulated 100. He kept his
counsel, and now he awaited the
jewelers. verdict.
Found Himself Rich.
The jeweler answered that he was
not enough of an expert to pass up
on their value, but a Boston pearl
buyer would be in town in a few days
and he would submit the collection
to him. In due time the buyer arriv-
ed and went over the pearls and when
Teblow called to get his verdict the
buyer said to him:
I'll give you $4,000 cash for the
collection"
Teblow invested the money in an
improved stock farm up near the
headwaters Of the Colorado river.
His sudden rise to wealth caused the
cowboys and the banks Of the COncho
to hunt for pearls, but no such finds
as that of Teblow were made by any
of them.
1t is estimated that this seasons
yield of pearls from the COncho will
aggregate in value considerably more
than 100000.
