BURIED UNDER MINE TAILINGS
City of Douthat, in Oklahoma, Over
wheImed When Spout DeIuoed
1t With Crushed Flint.

In the zinc mining district of Ok
lahoma, practically unknown even by
the residents of the state in which 1t
lies, is the buried city of Douthat.
Surrounding 1t is one of the richest
mining camps in the orld. The Mon
treal, probably one of the most famous
zinc mines. is IL. the city, as are also
the properties Of several of the lead
ing zinc mining companies of the Uni
ted States.
The city was not buried by sud
den flow of molten lava. as were the
cities of Pompeii, but by the "tailings"
of the mines of the camp, because, II
is said, of differences between owners
of the mines, and merchants and land
owners of the town. One day the
failing spouts of one of the great
mines was turned on the town. delug-
ing it with crushed flint. The people
moved their homes and business places
in mad rush to escape The downpour
of dust and rock particles. Stores,
cottages, barns and tents had to be
moved, and now where once stood the
thriving city is an immense pile OF
"chat" containing thousands of car
loads. One street and few dozen
homes only were spared, and here the
thriving business of the little town is
carried on, the once prosperous bust
ness district being now buried Under
an immense mountain of crushed
rock.

Natures Purpose in Flowers.

However fine ami dainty flower
may be it is pressed to do great
service and its coIors and forms are
all suited TO its work. 1t must bring
forth the fruit, or the continuity of
plant life will be broken and the earth
will be turned into desert ere long.
The color md smell Of the flower
are all for some purpose: therefore,
no sooner is it fortified by the bee
no sooner does the time of its fruitlon
arrive, than 1t sheds its exquisite pet
ais and a cruel economy compels it to
give mp its sweetest perfume. 1t has
no time to flaunt its finery, for 1t IL
busy beyond measure.

you have to visit your patients. He
may find it tedious waiting here alone"
Il shall show him about. He will

piled the physician with his usual in
cisiveness.
Mrs. Kirkland had at once started
to accompany the nurse. The girls re-
luctantly followed her. Doctor Kirk
land led Clinton away in the opposite
direction. After conducting him
through the offices, he took him up to
the enclosed roof garden, where sew
eral vivacious, fashionably dressed per-
sons were strolling about in the bright
sunshine, each in company with a
melancholy companion. The situation
required no explanation.
On the second floor DR.. Kirkland
led him into an unoccupied room fac
ing the side street. 1t had a private
bath and was otherwise furnished with
conveniences to satisfy the most fastid-
ious taste. The physician closed the
door and signed to Clinton to listen.
From above came a faint, almost in
audible sound.
THAT is patient in the room
above" he explained. "She is shriekinG
in an hysterical paroxysm. l told you
our walls are sound proof. That is not
absolutely the case, as you hear"
But virtually So" said Clinton.
zone never would imagine that wom-
an is screaming less than ten feet
away"
"There is special manner of
deadening the walls and windows" ex-
planned the physician. otherwise we
could not keep our supersensitive pa
tients in the same building with those
subject to noisy outbursts. Our ar
rangements are so perfect that many
persons came here simply for relaxa-
ton and quiet. This room is one re-
served for the use of such guests

1T is an ideal ROOM" remarked
Clinton.
The physician beamed upon him.
"Tm glad to hear you say that, my
boy. What do you say to taking it
yourself for few days?"

Iron Clothes With the Feet.

In Cairo men employed in the ma
tive tailoring establishments iron
clothes with their feet. Except for
the long handle, the irons are shaped
like an ordinary fiat-iron, but are
larger. A solid block Of wood rests
on the top Of the iron, and on this
the men place one foot. guiding the
iron in the desired direction by means
of the handle. For the sake Of con-
venience, ironing boards are raised
only a few inches from the ground,
and, however strange the method may
seem, the work is done well and ex~
peditiously.

planes which escorted it. to, Min

The Alaskan Flying Expedi-

ney to demoHstrate,the durability
of modern airplanes,and motors,
end to effect the establis hment
of an aerial route to. the north
western corner Of. the American
Continent and Asia. Such route
would bring mail from Alaska to
the States in two,or three days,
whereas the present method of
transmission requires thirty days

the only trouble we had on the
entire trip was caused by the

Before the flight, all the plOss

Ford made Liberty Motors.
Due to the nature of the work
which engaged the expedition,
the feet required a period of
three months to complete the trip
Since all of the original motors
completed the journey without
repairs or requirements. this is
believed to be a record for aerial
navigation. 1t will be recalled
that during the war, it was gen.
orally the practice to overhaul
the aerplane motors after approx
lmately each twenty hours of
flight.
