FOUND A PRISON TUNNEL Noah Cox, a Jefferronvilla . Convict, Had I'lanr.ed a Clever Escape.

Siccla' to the IutliauapoU Journal. Jr.Fi F.RSOXVII.LE, Ind., Oct 23. A cleverly excavated opening with a view to enabling convicts to make a daring escape from Jcflersonville cenitentiary. was discovered leading from the cell of Noah Cox by a prison guard this morning. Cox is a twelve-year prisoner, having been sent up from Jackson county in ISS'J for assaulting a girl. How long ho had been at work on tho plan of escape is not known, but it is supposed not long, as his work would have been discovered. The plot was discovered none too soon as it is belioved that to-night was the time Bet for the break for liberty. It is not known just how many were concerned in the conspiracy, cither, at this time, but they are supposed to bo "only a very fevr. as but few men can keep a prison eecrot Tho etory is this: Cox occupied cell No. 11, in the third bank, or top row, on the south side of the new cell-Louse. In this building aro six banks, three facing north and three south, with their backs separated by a space of about six inches. Theso rear wails are but the thickness of one brick. Ventilators are set iu tho back wall of each cell, through which the current .of air passes into tho six-inch space, thence upward through an immense drum extending tho entire length of the bniiding, and connecting with the -:.out8ido by a large chimney, big .enough to contain two men, side and side. All that is necessary to reach the roof of that building from tho inside of a cell in tho top bank is to dig out the small grate ventilator, tunnel away a few bricks so as to enlarge the aperture, and then crawl through, Tho large drum is right at hand. Being three feet at the base and three in height, a man can crawl through it to the ventchimney. and thus gain the roof. A rope dropped from thero would secure freedom to the convict bold enough to carry out the plau, and such a ono Noah Cox proved himself to be. The opening in the wall he had made, and not a suspicion had been aroused until yesterday morning the guard inspecting tho cells observed a large picture hanging on tho wall in Cox'e cell, directly over thy ventilator. Thinking tbe air of the placo v ould be improved by Its removal, the guard removed tho print and beheld this hole. He saw at once for what tho opening, twenty by twenty-seven inches. was intended, and then quietly replaced - the pictures to allay any suspicion. The mortar and bricks taken from the wall had been dropped in the space between the two ranges, tho only thing kept in the cell being the iron ventilator, and that was bidden. Cox was not informed of tho discovery until tonight, at locking-np time, when he was given new quarters without explanation, and the guards will endeavor to learn who else, if any. wero intending a similar attempt at escape. FREEMASONRY OF OUTDOOR LIFE. Foetry and SplrltaaPGraca that Come from Familiarity with Fe!d and Wood. V. II. II. Murray, la Torestaxid stream. What a splendid freemasonry this is of outdoor life! How gentle nnd generous its rivalries! Which head shall dive deepest in tho cool depths or speck the white surf furthest from shore? Which rod uhall lift the heaviest trout or gun show to its credit the fullest bag of game? Whoso dock shall shino the cleanest, and whose white sails shall lead the lleet to evening's anchorage? Whoso table of bark shall boast of the tenderest venison or lodge front display for. ornament . the noblest spread of antlers? Whose ritio is truest to the camp when food is scarce, or is silent longest when game is plenty and the larder over-full? These r aro t the generous and healthy rivalries of the outdoor life which stimulate but never fret, and leave both victor and vanquished healthy and happy still. Compare with these the scramble for wealth the rivalries for gain; the suicidal despair of some; the vain and boastful bearing of others; the bitterness and ruin of those who lose; the arrogance of those who win; tho sneering envy in gs and rankling jealousies, ripening to hatred as tbe years go on, which characterize the lives men live in 'store, otnee and street, and note the contrast Who of us frank-spoken and kind-hearted vagabonds of tide and field, of deck and camp, are envious of any? Each man we meet is comrade, fellow-ptcknicker, brother-man, Eartner of ours in the sweet profits of onr ealtny, happy, natural, life. Mild-mannered and light-hearted wanderers; boys with smooth or wrinkled faces, gravheaded some of us. but boys still, thank God; canoeists, campers, yachtsmeu, our fires are lighted on a thousand shores, and our evening song lloats over a thousand lakes and island-studded rivers. Wo are a family of nature's saints. Our spirits have been touched and softened by the sweet grace of nature. We have been indoctrinated in the truths that shine out of stars and which the blue heavens declare at noon and night The leaves of the catechism we have studied havo been tbe llowery meadows, the voiceful slopes of mountains, tho . shining beaches, the whispering leaves of trees, the thunder-shaken lirmament or the starlighted depth of level waters. From these un-Calviuistic text-books wo have learned sweet lessons of God, whose gentleness we saw in tho very leaves we studied. Our souls have drank the waters of life, fresh from native fountains, and onr spirits have bathed their scars in rivers which How from Him whose voico is as the sound of many waters. All hail! Ye healthy-bodied, heaUhy. minded, kindly-heartod, gentle-mannered saints of liood cucl field, ot hill and river, of oar and sail, el deck ODd camp; your smiling faces rise before me in thousands, and your voices, in happy talk, in joke and song. come from afar and tir the silence around mo into Kuhtt r.

EXPERIMENTS WITH FERTILIZERS. What the Government 8tations Are Doing for the Farmer. J. O. Speed, in Harper's Ve i-klj. Farmers in the older States aro spending millions of dollars annually lor commercial fertilizers In this country, as in Euiope, they have became an absolute necessity on worn-out soils; but to make them profitable it is necessary that they should lit the wants of the soil aud crops lor which they are used. If a larmer buys potash for land which abounds in potash but needs phosphoric acid, ho of courso loses. The fundamental principle in the uso of commercial fertilizers is to select those materials which supply in the best forms and at the lowest cost tho plant food which tho crop needs and the soil fails to furnish. In order to enable the farmers to find out thewautsof their own soil and tho best way of supplying them, and at the same time to net light upon tbn properties of tolls in ditiereut sections of the country, a numberof experiment stations are introducing soil tests with fertilizers, which arc largely conducted both by the stations ana also by individual farmers on their own furms. Of course many of tho experiments are failures, hut many practical men who have engaged in this work have declared that they have thus learned a great deal which ispractically useful and highly instructive. 1 he results of these tests in general show that "soils vary greatly in their capabilities of supplying iood to crops. Diherent ingredients are doticent in ditiereut soils, l ho beet way to learn what materials are proper iu any given cas-i is by observation nnd experiment. The rational method ior determining what ingredients of plant food a 6oil fails to furnish in abundance, and how these unfurnished materials ran be most economically supplied, is to put the question to the soil with ditlerent fertilizing materials. n:id get the reply iu the crops produced. The chief use of fertilizers is to supply plant food. It is good farming to make the most of the natural rceources of tho soil and of the manures produced on the farm, aud to depend upon artificial fertilizers only to furnish what more is needed. It is not good economy to pay high prices for materials which the soil itself may yield, but it. is srood

economy to supply tho . lacking ones in tho cheapest way." Probably the most valuable practical work that theso experiment stations have donehasbcen toaualyze these varionscommercial fertilizers which are ottered for sale by manufacturers. Iu some of the States, in New Jersey, for instance, the fertilizers are analyzed, ami the qualities of chemicals found in each sample compared with what tbe manufacturer claimed that the composition contained. oasto make this perfectly plain, tho money valne of the chemicals found in each simple is noted, and compared with the price charged by the ra.inmacturer. Some startling results havo been shown. One fertilizer selling, say, at 25 per ton, would be found to have a value of $2$; another, selling at 40 a ton, would be found to be worth only $15; and in one instance I recall the manufacturer charged $13 a ton for his complete fertilizer, and the chemist found that its actual value was only $2.50. Bulletins like these have certainly done great good, for they have warned farmers from buying inferiorchemicalf. and they have compelled manufacturers to keep their compositions up to the advertised standard. When there is more universal education among the farmers it will only be necessary to express tho value of fertilizers in chemical terms. Wo havo the authority of the United States Agricultural Department for the statement that in the States where experiment stations have long been established the greater number of the farmers uow need nothing more than these chemical terms to guide them in selecting the special fertilizers needed in given cases.

A Few Recipes. Candied Peaches One pound of granulated sugar, one gill of water. Heat over boiling water until the sugar is thoroughly dissolved. Pare and halve ripe but solid peaches, and place a layer of them in the syrup in a shallow vessel; cook slowly until clear; drain them from the sirup, and dry them in a moderately heated oven. After being dry for twenty-four hours they may be packed for future use. Banana Pudding Cut about half a dozen bananas in slices and sprinkle sugar over them. Beat the yolks of threo eggs with a tablespoonf ul of corn-starch and a little cold milir. Have a pint of milk brought to the boiling point, stir in ihe eggs and starch, stirring until the custard is formed.

Tako a little at a time in your hands and squeeze out all the water; now add mustard and celery-seed to suit your fast: also two or three small red peppers and some grated horseradish: mix well, pack in a stone crock, cover with good cider vinegar, and cover closely. Keep in a cool, dry place and it will be good for six months. Potato Rolls Two cups of white potatoes that have been put through tho colander; three eggs, beaten to froth without separating; ono cup of yeast a scant cup of lard, one teaspoonful of salt, a tablespoonful of sugar; Hour enough to make a dough that can bo kneaded: set aside until very light, then roll out and cut into cakes. Bake in greased nan?. Cucumber Catsup This is the easiest of all catsups to make. Choose largo, partially ripo cucumbers. Pare, removo tho seeds and grate them. Placo the pulp in a sieve to drain, then measure, and to each pint add a half pint of cider vinegar, a quarter teaspoonful of pure cayenne, an even teaspoonful of salt, and two heaping tablespoonfuls of grated horse radish. Mix, bottle, cork and seal. A sponge is excellent for washing windows, and newspapers will polish them without leaving dust and streaks. Use a soft pine stick to cleanse the accumulation of dust irom tho corners of the sash. Ammonia will give the glass a clearer look than soap. Real-Estate Transfers.
