SUPP OSE EARTH SHOULD SKID
Oireful Possibility Pointed Out by
Writer Evidently of Pessimistic
Turn of Mind.

Those fellows who are pumping all
the gas out of the earth, and digging
the coal and the iron and gold and sill
yer out of it, and sucking all the oil
out of it, better look out what they're
doing.
Surprising the scientists" say that
1t doesn't make any difference. What
do they know about it? They don't
know any more about it than we do,
and that isn't very much. These smart
Alecs that tell US one thing today and
another thing tomorrow are not to be
depended on. They change their minds
too often, and the reason they do so
is that they are simply guessing all
the time.
Now it stands to reason that if we
take the whole insldes out of the earth
1t is bound to be whole lot lighter
than it was before. Any kind of an
idiot knows that We take out the in
sides and we never put anything back,
in its place. If we played fair, like
trade rats, II wouldn't be so bad; but
we don't play fair.
We take out coal and burn it up in
smoke; the same way with oil; the
gas blows away in the air.
Now, by ginger, to our way of think
ing, the next thing we know this old
ball is going to skid. 1t is bound to
do so, being relieved of all it's ballast.
1t is going to skid, and then something
is going to happen to everybody who
is thinking about something else and
hasn't got a good hold on a tree or
something.
Suppose you are walking along the
road, or sitting carelessly in a. chair,
and the earth skids like that. Why,
dear man, you will fly off like man
standing up on a spring wagon when
the horse gets scared.
We have no desire unnecessarily TO
alarm anybody, but this thing of TAX
ing everything out of the insides of
the earth but the acoustics ought to
be looked into.-I.os Angeles Times.

CHAPTER ~.
The Altar of the FLAMING God.


1t was at the moment that TarZan
turned from the closed door to pursue
his way to the outer world. The thing
came without warning. One instant
all was quiet and stability-the next,
the world rocked. the tortured sides of
the narrow passageway split and crum-
bled, great blocks of granite, dislodged
from the ceiling. tumbed into the mar
row way choking it. and the walls
bent inward upon the wreckage Be
meath the blow of fragment of the
roof, Tarzan staggered back against
the door to the treasure room, his
weight pushed 1t open and his body
rolled inward upon the floor.
There was but the single shock. no
other followed to complete the dam
age undertaken by the first. Werper
thrown to his length by the sudden
ness and violence of the disturbance
staggered to his feet when he found
himself unhurt. Cropping his way to-
ward the far end of the chamber, he
sought the candle which Tarzan had
left stuck In its own wax upon the
protruding end Of an ingot.
Pr striking numerous matches the
Belgian at last found what he sought,
and when. moment later. the sickly
rays relieved the Stygian darkness
about him, he breathed nervous sigh
of relief, for the impenetrable gloom
had accentuated the terrors of his
situation.

utter darkness he flew through space,
clutching outward for hold should
his feet miss the invisible ledge.
He struck the edge of the floor of
the opposite terminus of the rocky tun-
mel with his knees. slipped backward.
clutched desperately for moment,
and at last hung half within and half
without the opening; but he was safe.
Cautiously he drew himself well with
in the tunnel, and again he lay at full
length upon the floor, fighting to re-
gain control of his shattered nerves.
When his knees struck the edge of
the tunnel he had dropped the candle.
Presently, hoping against hope that it
had fallen upon the floor of the pas
sageway, rather than back into the
depths of the well, he rose upon all
tours and commenced 1. diligent search
for the little tallow cylinder, which
now seemed infinitely more precious
to him than all the fabulous wealth of
the boarded ingots of Opar.
And when, at last, he found it, he
clasped it to him and sank back sob
bling and exhausted. For many min
utes he lay trembling and broken; but
finally he drew. himself to a sitting
posture, and with the light he found
1t easier to regain control of his
nerves, and presently he was again
making his way along the tunnel In
search of an avenue of escape. The
horrid cry that had come down to
him from above through the ancient
well-shaft still haunted him, so that
he trembled in terror at even tile
sounds of his own cautious advance.
long, dark corridor showed before
him, but before he had followed it far,
his candle burned down until it
scorched his fingers. With an oath he
dropped it to the floor, where it sput-
tered for moment and went out.
Slowly he CROPPED his way along
feeling with his hands upon the tun-
nePs walls, and cautiously with his
feet ahead of him upon the floor be
fore he would take single forward
step. How long he crept on thus he
could not guess; but at last. feeling
that the tunnels length was inter
minable, and exhausted by his efforts,
by terror, and loss of sleep, he deter
mined to lie down and rest before pro-
ceeding farther.
When he awoke there was no change
In the surrounding blackness. He
might have slept second or day
he could not know; but that he had
slept for some time was attested by
the fact that he felt refreshed and
hungry.

You get more for dressed poultry
by picking it dry than when scalded.
1t is almost impossible to give lay
ing hens which are confined too much
exercise.
Nature teaches us that fowls should
have wide range and that farm
Is the best place for them.
Poultry houses should be covered
with good grade of roofing paper, as
it makes tight roof and does not per-
NIT the warm air to seep out through
the roof, as Is the case with shingles.
Geese feed better on grass and much
corn is not good for them.
. Eggs mold when kept in damp
place, and the flavor deteriorates.
The fall renovation of the poultry
business should include thorough
survey of the feed bins and corn cribs.
Do you have scaly legs? 1t is
caused by mite and may be cured
by salve composed of two parts coal
oil and one part lard.
Idle hens soon grow too fat to lay
and in the plans for winter 1t Is well
TO provide some means to compel them
to work.
To avoid disease keep the premises
constantly clean. Whitewash the
buildings inside and out and scatter
lime over the floor and grounds.
