VOISONEUI rum’s the Vfrdlct In Regard to the Baptist Ice Cream Saturday Night. Everything was moving off pleasantly at the festival in the public square Saturday night, a large crowd of jolly and liberal people in attendance partaking of the seasonable v lands set before them by the Baptist ladies, when the partakers of ice cream became suddenly and seriously sick. Violent pains, followed by excessive vomiting, seemed to be the general symptoms, which, left the victims, to the number of about fifty, so weak as to be hardly able to get home, and many have, not at this writing fully recovered. That the ice cream was poisoned there is but little doubt, bub how? is the question. Whether the milk was poisoned by some vegetable poison before being milked, whether someSend in human form had wished to ■;ake human life by foul means, or whether it was caused by some corosive substance, can only be a mat‘,cr of conjecture. Frank Neligh, who has the-reputa-tion of an expert on icecream, made the cream and noticed nothing wrong, put of course feels very badly overit,'as do the Baptist ladies. It is as yet one of those mysterious-, unaccountable accidents, for which no one should be blamed, and we don’t think they will by fair-minded and conscientious people until investigation proves the cause. Sonic American Wonders.. The greatest river in the world; is the Mississippi, 4,100 miles long: * * * Lake Superior is the largest and deepest lake in the world.. It is,430 miles long. * * * The longest railroad in. the world is the Pacific, which is over 3,.000 miles in length. *. * * The largest Valley in the world is. that of the Mississippi. It contains f>00,000 square miles of the most fertile land on. the globe. *** The greatest natural- bridge in the world is the Natural bridge over Cedar creek, in Virginia. It extends across a chasm, eighty feet in width and 250 feet in depth, at the bottom of which the creek flows. * If.; * The greatest solid mass of iron in. the world is the great Red Mountain, near Birmingham, Ala. It is 350, feet high and fifty-miles in length, of almost solid iron ore, the largest and richest deposit known. * '* A mass of 90,000,000. tons of pure, solid, compact rock salt, located on an island 186 feet high, which,rises from a miserable sea marsh near the River Teche, Louisiana, is one of the wonders of the world. How this island, containing over 300 acres, ever came into existence in such a locality is a matter of conjecture and a puzzle to scientific men. * * There is a singular natural’ curiosity in a lake in Vermont, consisting of. 150 acres of land floating,, on the surface of the water.- The tract is covered with cranberries, and there are trees- fifteen feet high. The island rises and falls with the water of the lake, and affords a fine shelter for fish, great numbers of which are caught by boring a hole and fishing down through, as through the ice in winter time. - *, * * It is hard to estimate how many thousand looms and spindles and how many immense factories of every description could be run by the wasted water power of Niagara -'alls., 100,000,000 tons of water fall there ever.y hour from it vertical height of 150, feet, whioh represents an aggregate of 16,800,000 horse power. In order to reproduce the power of 16,800,000 horses, or, in other words, to pump back the water from, below to above the falls, . r would require an annual expenditure of 266,000,000 tons of coal, which amount is equivalent to the tpt-aJ coal consumption of the world.
