drews and Chas Matson. Lunch was
served by the women of the commu-
nifty at each drive. From 1000 to10,000
rabbits was the toll. The largest drive
reached $500 from the school section
north of N w. Sine's.
The strychnine for the rabbit poison
ing is bought by the County Com
missioners and given out to the firm
ers by the County Clerk. Good reports
are comming in from the effects of
poisoning. l.. J. Meservy of Dietrich
reports 1900 killed Audley Barbee,

town is WARMED
BY VOLCANO HEAT

Up in the mountains, where snow
covers the ground more than half the
year, and zero blasts whistle out Of
the north, lies the town of Chaudes.
aigues, and in this town there has
not been heating stove or a furnace
for many years. Coal, firewood and
gas are unknown and there are no
chimneys in this town of 1000.
No, Chaudesaigues is not in Utopia.
1t is n Auvergne, France, and the eX-
PLANTATION of it's emancipation from
SCOT and furnaces and ashes lies in
the fact that it is built in what was
the crater of a volcano, and from the
ground beneath comes boiling water
in great volume.
Lectures Pour Tous, a Paris maya
zine tells how this water Is piped
through the streets and under houses
throughout the town without cost to
the resident. Even in the coolest of
weather, and it gets very cold in
Chaudes aigues-well, below zero-the
ture merely by raising trap door and
letting out the heat from the flowing
waters, the magazine says.
Heat Always There.
In the streets the hot water con-
Quits are covered with thick stone
pavement but in the houses trap doors
of iron or of wood are provided. The
Chaudesaigues HOUSEWIFE wishing to
prepare a meal, has only to lift up
this trap, put on the kettle and the
family is all taking tea in few min
utes, for the heat is always there.
Laundry work, the bugbear of
women the world over is an agree
able pastime in Chaudesaigues. The
washerwomen gather at the public
washing fountain, turn on the boiling
water and scald the clothes. and their
work is done.
The hot water is extensively used in
the wool washing industry. The
grease is removed from the wool by
soaking it in great tubs, and then it is
dried in ovens heated by the waters
warmth. Wool is sent from a wide
territory to be washed there.
Also a considerable chicken hatch
ing business has grown up, for it Is
possible to keep the eggs at a uniform
temperature without care. 1t is a nat
ural incubator that does away with
many of the troubles of the artificial
article and of biddy herself.
100000 Gallons Day.
One of the springs alone has flow
of $4,000 gallons every twenty-four
hours, which, a geologist has figured
out, is equal in calories to the product
of an LOO acre forest. Several other
springs bring the total up to around
100000 gallons every twenty-four
hours.
After the water goes through the
conduits it still has a temperature of
1872 degrees and so there is very con-
siderable waste of energy that Chau-
desaigues is unable to get out Of the
water. After doing the towns heat
ing and cooking and washing, the wa
ter tumbles down into the rocky bed
of the Remontalou brook and goes its
way to the sea.
