One Very Satisfactory Way of Drying
Fruits and Vegetables at Home. +.

When the corn is dry, store in closely
woven muslin bags or heavy. paper
bags. Tie tightly at the neck and
place within a larger bag, which also
should be tightly tied.
Do not allow the drying process to
stop from the time it is started until
the corn is fairly dry. Corn is a prod
uct which contains considerable sugar
and protein, and if the drying process
is allowed to stop bacteria are apt to
develop and souring take place. Pro-
tect it from insects. If sun drying is
interrupted by cloudy weather or
showers, remove corn to the stove and
continue drying or the product may
spoil.

Earth RumbIinas.

Dwellers in the vicinity of Flat Shoal Mountain, in North Carolina, have been much alarmed at intervals during the past year by unaccountable rumbling and explosive noises. They fear lest the mountain may be going to become an active volcano.
 Scientists are. interested, because phenomena of this kind. observed in other places, constitute a mystery that has never been satisfactorily explain ed.
 During a period covering at least a century the neighborhood of a small town in Connecticut was famous for what were called the "Moodus noises. These were likewise rumbling and ex- plosive, resembling the reports of big guns heard from a distance of some miles. They were not caused by blast ing, and nobody has ever been able to account for them. Within very recent years they have been heard oc- casionally, but have been. much less loud.
 Similar noises are quite common in some localities in Italy.
 In places on the coast of Belgium loud detonations of the same charac- ter are often heard, and are called by the people sea bombs sea cannon. paper bags" 1or 'mistpoeffers" - meaning fog hiccoughs. The most plausible theory to account | for these strange noises is that they are caused by movements of rocks settings, perhaps-deep. down in tho earth's crust. It has been suggested that they might be profitably studiec with the help of newly-invented listen. | ing devices, by which even the small. 1 est sounds transmitted through th, ground can be heard.-Kansas Cit, !
