IMI. ZE"va.rLS MONEY IN TRUCK FARMS. The abandoned farms of New England, New Jersey, New York and Pennsylvania, according to Col. Levi Wells, one of the dairy inspectors of the agricultural de partment, are rapidly being taken up by wealthy manufacturers and business men, who utilize them for summer homes. There is a great increase in the eastern states in the number of dairys and truck farms to le found near the great cities. As a matter of fact the farmers who bend their energies in this direc tion are making independent for tunes, for the great farms of the west have practically driven the eastern farms to the wall in the raising of grain crops and cattle. Through rotation of crops and a growing knowledge of the science of agriculture, the eastern farmers are reclaiming many farms that have been abandoned and which have been considered ahs lutely ex hausted. In the opinion of Colonel Wells, the outlook, agriculturally, for the eastern states is brighter than it has been for half a century. .Sera 11 (on Tribune. m HATS A 1IF.M' TO KXGIXKKRS. lVMiferent Kortciitn lut to u Good I'm; at Munich. To enlist rats In tho construction of telephony systems may sound like a very unscientific notion, but we have It on the authority of Neue Er findunKen und Erfahrungon that this odd arrangement was put Into prac tire at Munich and thnt tho familiar pest has been found a valuable as sistant In this work. To stimulate the rat. however, tt w:is necessary to Introduce his tra ditional enemy, the ferret. The pro cess was simple. The subterranean tubes for the reception of the cables having been laid, a rat was let loose at the starting point. Having run a little way, a trained ferret with a string to his leg was turned in after him. The tubes ran Into manholes at Intervals, and the rat, furtively trancing bnck, sees tho glaring eyes of his arcji-foe rapidly approaching. f!y the end of the section of the tube tho rat Is either overtaken or falls Into the manhole, and another rat Is requisitioned to run the next block. At the end of each section the string is removed from the ferret's leg and a small rope, which is then attached to tho other end of the string, la hauled through. In turn a heavy cable, consisting of 200 or 300 wires, Is attached to the rope and likewise hauled through the tube. Presumably It wns necessary to see that the rat received a liberal handicap, otherwise his opponent might catch him prematurely and dispatch him midway In the tube. Tho scheme was pronounced a great success. Jail of Solid Kock. Troglodytes of history have lived In their caves from choice. At Clif ton, Graham County, Arizona, are a number of unwilling troglodytes who rtp kept within their rocky home by officers of the law. Clifton Is one of the centers of copper mining In Arizona. In one sense it may' be In ferred that the queer Jail has Us ad vantages, for the temperature of that, part of Arizona frequently rises In summer as high as one hundred und twenty degrees in the shade. But lo revert to the Jail Itself: It comprises four largo apart ments, hewn in the side of a hill of solid quartz rock. The entrance to the Jail Is through a box-like vestl bnlo, built of heavy masonry, and equipped with threo sets of gates of steel bars. Here and thero, In the rocky walls, holes hnve, been blasted for windows, and In these apertures n series of massive bars of steel have been fitted firmly In the rock. The floor of the rock-bound Jail U of cement, and the prisoners are con fined wholly in the larger apart ments. In somo places the wall of quartz about the Jail Is fifteen feet thick. Some of the most desperate crimi nals on the southwest border have been confined In the Clifton Jail, and ho solid and heavy are the barriers to escape that no one there has ever attempted to break to freedom. The notorious "Black Jack" was there tor months. H. W. CHAMPLIN M. D. EYE, EAR, NOSE AND THROAT. Particular attention to examining and treat ing children'i eyea. Ent Building, Bloomaburg, Fa.

There has lately been a suggestion that black wall paper might have a vnothlng effect on tho nerves of those to whom tho overgilding and decoration of rooms has become annlhema, but It Is more than doubt ful that such sable surroundings voald ever become popular. Our walls have more to do with our K'iod spirits than many people imagine, and I know of ona Instance recently where the head of a house hold, not very long a benedict, has taken an Inveterate dislike to his abode. Though he is not awaro of tho fact, the aversion Is no doubt in spired by the dining room paper which ho himself chose, overriding tho opinion of his wife, whose achievements In regard to drawing room and bedrooms were all marked .successes. The dining room, dark In aspect, to begin with, Is papered in a dull, dark blue pnper, artistic enough in Its way, but not by any means conducive to hilarity, says Woman's Life. In London, sunless for so many months, wo need all the light nnd simulation of sun obtaina ble, and many a wall paper Is to be had which combines artistic feeling with cheerfulness. There are few things harder to chooso successfully than wall papers, so many things have to be considered. Mileage of the Human Itlood. The upeed at which tho blood cir culates In the veins and arteries of n healthy man la something surpris ing. All day long, year In and year oat, the round trips continue from the heart to the extremities and back ugaln. The red blood corpuscle travel like boats In a stream, going to this or that station for such ser vice as they have to preform; and the white corpuscles, the phagocytes, dart hither and thither like patrol boats, ready to arrest any contra band cargo of disease germs. The mileage of the blood circula tion reveals some astounding facts In our personal history. Thus It has been calculated that, assuming the heart to beat sixty-nine times a min ute at ordinary heart pressure, the blood goes at the rate of two hun dred and seven yards In the minute, or seven miles per hour, one hun dred and sixty-eight miles per day 1:11 six thousand three hundred and t.enty-four miles por year. If a man of eighty-four years of age could have one stnglo blood corpuscle floating In his blood all his life It would have travelled In that same time fivo million one hundred and Tfty thousand eight hundred and l.",ht miles. Tho Stormy i:iiinocs, "The popular belief that storms are more frequent about the time of tho equinoxes, or when 'the sun ( losses the line,' in March and Sep tember, receives some slight degree of support from the recent invstiga tiom of European scientists," states r.a expert of the Weather Bureau. "In Southwestern Europe March la tho stormiest month, while In the lliitlsh Islands and Norway January takes the lead In that respect; but, considering Europe as a whole, It appears that storms preponderate near the seasons of the equinoxes." Phonographic Watch. A new Swiss watch contains a tiny hard rubber phonograph plate which calls Out the hours loud enough to be heard twenty feet away. Senti ment can be added by having the words recorded on the plate In the tones of a dear friend as those of a bias's wife or chlldreu.
