A whiskey plant" that is absolute
ly unique as such institutions go was
located yesterday by Deputy Sheriff
Glover, who was working out hot
trail east of the city. The plant"
was all there, but the whiskey, that
is something else again. 1t had
vanished
Information filtered into the office
Of County Attorney Simpson to the
effect that perfectly fine plant"
could be located by searching a GER
tain section east of the city The
information was vague, but had to do
with water well, That's about as
far as it went and it remained for
Deputy Glover, armed with a search
warrant to do the rest He did
Starting at the edge of town he
gave every well he encountered the
rigid once over. Near a clump of
elm trees east and a little south of
tLe city, the officer spied a well,
DsAat in no respect differed from the
Others he had investigated. But it
was vastly different y know" when
put to the acid test Of a careful ex-
animation.
The curbing and platform looked
about like the curbing and platform
OF any self respecting well. He des-
cended into the well by means of
cleats nailed to the wooden casing.
AS the officer hammered and knocked
thereabout, hollow sound emlnated
as from a board covered cavern.
Further and more minute investiga-
tion followed and served to locate a
trap door, through which with some
caution the officer entered.
What he found may be summed up
in the report on the plant" about as
follows Apparently the we'll had
been started with a diameter of about
ten feet. Don probably 10 or u feet,
it narrowed to practically eight feet,
leaving a shelf of two feet. Some
six feet or more farther down, the
well again reduced leaving another
shelf of two or more feet.
The casing of the well proper, run
ming from the top of the ground to
the water was Of the ordinary size,
three or four feet in diameter. Thus
the casing was a cylinder within a
cylinder and a space of several feet
was leftbetween the casing proper
and the real walls of the well. Of
ficers declared several wagon loads
of whiskey could be stored therein
and from the evidences it had been
in use.
Although Deputy Glover searched
he failed to locate any flicker" of any
description and the officers are won
dering now who is the owner of the
plant. They are satisfied that the
well has been used as a wholesale
storage and a general distributing
point

According to an order issued by
the United States Fuel administra-

resumed next Monday and will con
tinue until further orders Monday
and Tuesday nights have been desig-
mated as those on which a curtail-
ment OF lights will be in effect.
The purpose of the order is to save
fuel by the simple method of saving
electricity. The order affects all
decorative lights, such as non-essen-
tial window lights, electric signs and
the like. Interior lighting, where it
is essential is not affected by the
order.

LEARNS BASS FAVORlTE FOOD
Scientific Fisherman Conducts Autopsy
Which Reveals Certain Kind Of
Beetle Has Preference.

A little body of water in Essex
county, in the Adirondack noun
tains, says the Rochester Democrat
and Chronicle, has long been known
by the guides to contain exceptional
ly large black bass of the small
mouthed variety, but until quite re-
Gently no fish of large size had been
taken.
A few weeks ago stranger to the
guides in the vicinity visited Lake
Bixby, as the pond is called, and
brought into camp string of bass
which literally astonished the ma
tives. Before returning to civiliza-
ton the stranger partly revealed his
secret. He explained that on a pre-
vious visit he had caught a two
pound bass with conventional lure,
and had carefully subjected it to an
autopsy in order to identify its IA
vorite food. He became satisfied that
the fish preferred certain kind of
beetle, and this years experience
convinced him that his conclusion
was correct.
Unless the curious fisherman is
mistaken, the capture of bass in the
deep and cool Adirondack lakes will
be less difficult than formerly, as it is
claimed that the beetle is obtainable
without great trouble.

LIFEBOAT TRAVELS ON LAND
Steadied and Steered by Two
Trailers, Until Afloat.

A curious craft has made its ap-
pearance on the beach of Atlantic
City. 1t is boat that can run up
on the hard sand and travel over the
land, albeit rather clumsily. This,
however, is to be expected, because,
after all, the water is its natural
habitat and its incursions on land
are only occasional.
When on land the boat travels on
a tractor wheel 20 inches wide and
81 inches in diameter, while it is
steadied and steered by two trail
wheels aft, according to CORE
spondent. The craft enters the wa
ter stern first until afloat, when the
steering wheels are lifted out of the
water and steering oar is brought
into play.
The inventor of this interesting
craft is Rear Admiral John A. How
ell, retired. His purpose in building
this amphibian boat is to provide a
craft which may be of value not
merely for taking excursionists out
through the surf, but also for life
saving purposes. Being an automo-
bile boat it dispenses with large
crew and is much more powerful and
of greater capacity than the usual
lifeboat. Admiral Howell believes
that it can also be used for coast de-
tense and as a tender for seaplanes.
Furthermore, he considers it SUI
perior to other boats for handling
troops on open coasts. Admiral
Howell has been experimenting with
amphibian boats for many years and
this is his third and latest model.

CONTRASTS IN RAID PICTURE.

The archbishop of Canterbury was
conducting an induction service at
Lambeth when an aerial lombard
ment began, but no interruption oc-
Cured, says the Manchester Guardi-
an. The service went on as if no
danger threatened. A clergyman
who was present says that after the
service the archbishop and his pro-
cession of clergy withdrew to the
shelter in one of the old Norman
towers of the palace, and there re-
manned for a time. One likes the
color and contrast of the picture
the ancient background of the pal
ace, the archbishop and clergy in
their traditional robes, and overhead
a armament of modern warfare
which would have made the stoutest
Norman heart quake with the fear Of
black arts.

FIFTY THOUSAND AN HOUR.

twenty-five thousand dollars fol-
a song is quite neat, but not gaudy
sum for half hours work. That is
what George M. Cohan earned fol-
his war song cover There" which
he dashed off in exactly 80 minutes,
says New York correspondent. He
sold it to a New York music pub
Usher for that sum. The price Of
$4,000 represents $161 a word and
$13S a note. A complete opera such
as one by Puccini, for instance, is
frequently valued at $4,000. The
highest previous payments per word
for writing were 81 to Kipling and
So to Col. Theodore Roosevelt. But
it took war jingle, done in half an
hour, to run the price up to $161 a
word. y

DEPTH AT WHICH SHIPS SINK
Any Heavy Body Will Go to the Bot
tom, Since Water Is Nearly In
compressibIe, Is Claim.

One of the most frequent inquiries
in relation to The sinking of vessels
is ''Does vessel that sinks go to the
bottom ?" Replying to such ques-
lions the Scientific American says:
"The belief seems to be widely
held that at certain depth an iron
ship or an iron ball will remain sus-
pended, floating about and never
reaching the bottom. These inquirers
evidently confuse weight and pres
sure. A body sinks in fluid when
it weighs more than the fluid which
it displaces, which evidently has the
same volume as the body. For this
reason any heavy body will go to the
bottom in water, since water is near
ly incompressible."
An engineer of high repute took
exception to this statement, assert
ing that at a depth Of 1917 miles wa
ter would be as dense as cast iron,
and therefore cast iron would float
at that depth. The Scientific Amer
lean exposed the fallacy of this ar
gument, and now publishes letter
from can authority connected with
the geographical laboratory, Wash
ington," containing calculations Of
the specific gravity Of water at
depths up to sc miles. These prove
that if there be water at any such
depths it is frozen solid in the dense
form Of ice, frozen by the pressure
of the water above it, since the freez-
ing point of water is lowered by pres
sure.
