GREAT LAKE UNDER EARTH

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

from each other flowing in the same
direction over an elevated plateau
'suddenly drop into canyons 500 feet

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

and the natural bridge thus formed is

in size to the fomous natural bridge

mountain tho united stream ttrikes
another mountain and tunnel3 it for
several hundred feet and then spreads
out into an immense underground
lake, the area of which has never
been ascertained.. 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. Southwest

of Phlladelphians, a young poet, Iick

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

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

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-

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

as they say in Germany, is dead; or

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

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
