The market open ed up rather slow Monday but has since become more active and is fully steady.

GREAT LAKE UNDER EARTH Two Streams of Water Unte and ; Tunnel a Course Undsr Big Mountain Month after month papers and mag azines publish glowing accounts of the beauty And grandeur of the lake3 of Switzerland, the rivers of Germany or the glaciers of Greenland. Tourists and globe trotters have stood on the Alps, "gondolated" in Venice, climbed , .the Matterhorn, but how many Amer ican tourists know anything of the -wonders of their native land outside the old school book wonders of Ni agara, Yellowstone and Yosemite? In Oregon, county, Missouri, and pulton county, Arkansas, are grouped Crand gulf, Mammoth spring and Spring river, natural curiosities so wonderful, so beautiful and furnish ing so many openings for investors that were they hid in the forests of Africa or within the shadow of the mountain peaks of southern Europe artls';s would haunt them with their sketch books and .poets would rave ' of the soul-inspiring beauty. - The Grand gulf Is the crowning won 4 der.of the group. Two shallow streams y about one-fourth of" a mile distant from each other flowing in the same direction over an elevated plateau 'suddenly drop into canyons 500 feet 4 deep. These two canyons form a junc tion half a mile below where they " strike a mountain lying directly across their path. This mountain has been ' tunneled bv the action of the water and the natural bridge thus formed is nn less a curiosity and almost equal in size to the fomous natural bridge of Virginia.

Many parties have entered tho tunnel and picnics have been held by torchlight on the margin of the lake, but still it remains a mys tery. No light can exist long over the bosom cf the lake and nothing caji be heard save the far away rum ble of the waters as they rush on. This underground lake is the reser voir which supplies Mammoth spring, the largest spring in the world, with its 60,000 cubic feet of water a min ute. The most surprising feature In connection with this extraordinary natural curiosity is the fact that when these great canyons are filled with water, even to the arch of the natural bridge hundreds of feet deed, the vol ume of water in Mammoth spring is not increased. Mammoth spring covers eighteen acres of ground 200 feet deep with crystal water. Spanned by an Im mense steel bridge, navigated by naptha launches and flowing 60,000 cubic feet of water a minute over a dam of solid masonry 170 feet long and twenty-eight feet high, it presents an admirable picture. It. is too beautiful for an attempt at description and the spring alone suuDlies water power equal to thou sands of horse power. It seems to hold its own more serene than the 'pyra mids and as unchangeable as the de crees of fate. Nothing affects it. Its nuritv remains undimmed when show prs of snrinsr transform mountain streams into veritable sewers; cioua bursts that drown wide valleys and drouths that drive cattle to the distant lowlands neither add to nor take from its constant, never-varying flow, and the keenest blast of old winter that ever scaled the Ozarks and rushed as a eonaueror down these sunny slooes has never yet been able to cap ture and imprison in its icy fetters a sinsle wavelet, on the placid bosom of this mighty spring.

"That's nothing," said a railroad ad vprtisinsr man. "I know of a case where a man was paid $1,000 a word Our line used to have at its grade crossing a very long and complicate slsrn that began. 'Beware of the en gines and cars,' and then this sign went on with a lot of injunctions an J warning that would have taken five minutes to read. "In a number of accident cases the complainants for damages declared that . our long signs were not clear warnings. .Therefore the line decided at last to get a new grade crossing sign and Judge Paxton was engaged to write one. ' "The sign that Judge Paxton wrote cost $1,000 a word, but it was a classic. It remains a classic. It is as wall known among us as 'Father, I can not tell a lie,' or 'England expecti ttjr Ilia. to xiO itio "The sign that cost $1,000 a word, or $6,000 in all, was the famous "Rail road Crossing Stop, Look and Lis ten." Philadelphia Bulle in. PRENATAL INFLUENCE ,r Six healthy bantam chickens which positively refuse to eat anything ex cept cucumber seed are causing no end cf trouble for R. B. Green, who hr,s been scouring the country here abouts fcr the desired food. The un usual appetite of the chicks is attrib uted to prenatal influences. Last summer a bantam hen belong- ng to Green was missing, and was found setting on a nest of eggs which she had secreted in the shell of a big cucumber, from which she had pecked out meat and seeds. It is the theory that the chickens have there fore come, by their preference in way of food honestly. Otherwise they are pparently perfectly normal. Hop- kiusville (Ky.) Cor. Philadelphia Record.

GERMANY, AMERICA, ENGLAND The Industrial expansion of Ger many has been achieved by equally hard work, but the adventurous aud acity and restless search for novelty of America have been replaced by steady and watchful . effort. The in dustriaL population has not been left to carve out. its own destiny, but has been guided and helped at every step. uaiooi lane ui iH.cxn;ucotci muiu as they say in Germany, is dead; or dered regulation Is accepted and ap plied with infinite pains by the legisla ture, government departments,, munic ipalities and private citizens, It is seen not only in the scientific tariff, but in the careful and judicious fac tory code, the state system of insur ance, the organization of traffic and transport by railway and canal, the fostering of the mercantile marine, the educational provision, municipal action and poor law administration. So the edifice has been built up four square and buttressed about on either side. ' . " England shows traces of-American enterprise and of German order, but the enterprise is faded and the order muddled. They combine to a curious travesty in which activity and perse verence assume the expression of ease and indolence. The once enterprising manufacturer has grown slack; he has let the business take care of it self, while he is shooting grouse or yachting in the Mediterranean. . That is his business.
