The Exeter Advocate, 1922-9-7, Page 3A Visit. to a Rack -St Mine BY DAVID M. LEVINC.ASTON There's- a thrill In being lowered down through a biotic hole into the earth 600 feet, Qne'`becoxue;, used to it, they say; but, believe me, not at once. One morning recently, the big ele- ' for lowered in the shaft at the salt najnee on Avery Island, nine miles southeast of New Iberia, Louisiana, boxing on board a camera man, who was going down on a special assign- rent to try out a riew light. There are no prelim!naaries• or core - »u uy about the descent. The se aft is a very unfnvitft g affair, end bee an appearanee of "come down if you wish; I'm not promising you anything." The elevator ie not a hazrdsome bras or steel -netted cage nor is there a boy attendance, After all gat on, it just went clown. It's very quiet. There isn't much laughter nor talk; the others: feel about the same way you do. All the joker have been left up on the surface of the earth. Then in that black down- ward drop there comes a rush of cool, salt air. One member aboard exclaim- ed, wen he felt to weird change of temperature come up hid legs, "lily go:elms:el I believe my emits tante off!" He bad the correct sensatiau. all right, But when the bottomie reached, what a change! Aud what a surprise' to and down: thieve that the tempera - tore is pleasant, standing: around 72 degrees; The atmosphere la as balmy as early ,summer. A cleaner ; spot could hardly be imagined. A minute or so after we landed at the ;foot of the shaft, there came a rumbling noise as of distaat t zuneer, It seemed to roll on and on, reverbee- sting down the long corridors, its and out of those tallarches, a,ometimres• In- creasing in, its) growl, then diminishing ate it entered one of the lower -rooked cavities. It was not a noise that would 'fill anyone with dismay, fear, or anxie- ty, but something that seemed, in a way, to be expected in this strange un- derground cavern. It was all se new and different that it recalled one with a pleasing satisfaction of baying en- tered upon an adventure worth while. No questions were asked. The natural supposition was that the suo:znterlike thunderstorm had been caused by a blast away back is one of those dark channels. The camera man wanted to "shoot" a from its e& e ing how the This led tee wys torn party down one of those long avenues with the small lights strung alongside. Just as though they were so many tiny street lamps•, and the tall areh glitter'i;ag over- head, A narrow-gauge railroad ran down the mitre, remsnding one of a miniature :streetcar line, laid net in the hard, dry salt tela crusted under the toot. 11 A VISION URE OF TTHEFUT But few Wren can coneeientiously claim any ability in forecasting things that are to happen at some future date. Possibly the weather man is an exception. Bowever; there are a few v+'ho have through careful study 'rue formed themselves on the general ten- denies of the times and from this information they are able to calculi, fairly accurately .some of the things whi0h are quite certain to come to pass. Recently Mr. C lades A. Coffin, an American who has done large things in the industrial world during the pest forty years, made the following state- ment: v '^" axial hon e et: a ..flu ocalc ton h no � g: as I see it, 'will be deeentralizatt:on. Fleettricity made the great city. It may now be expected to unmake pit. " Seemingly, up to the present time power, labor end capita can be'co- ordinated more malty in our greet in- dustrial centres than in smaller pieces. But recent remarkable developments in the distribution and use of elec- tricity appear to be changing the sit- uation. This new helper promises to bring a most flexible power to all men, whether they live and work an the •city, the village, or en the farm. The "•broadlc acting of power" will gradually make it possible to process and manufacture raw materials near the source of production. If this can' be clone successfully, it will materially aid in cutting dawn a heavy and in many cases unnecessary tnansporta- tion tax. The goods, can also be deliv- ered to the ultimate consumer at a lower cost. The city has brought many social and ecoeoanic troubles. But it has also developed conveniences and ad- vantages'whidh modern people will not forego. Electn%city is now making possllble these comforts, opportunities and amusements in the healthful dis- tricts of our countrysides. The effect this will have upon the agriculture of any community is diffieult to foretell. There can be little question, however, but that the results' wil be :beneficial, both in the way of supplying bo the farmer seasonable labor and in im- proving the market for '+ his farm pro- ducts, Do what you consider is your duty, but do not insist that others -shall consider it their duty also. BABY'S GREAT DANGER DURING 11D't' IYEATU fr More little ones die during the hot. weather than at any other time of the year.

Then there was arather long pause, and, thinking to Improve tole occasion in a religious' sense, the dea- con turned and asked, "My friend, are you prepared to die?" With a shriek the Italian sprang to the ground and disappeared into the near -by woods.

"Ma wants two pounds of butter ex aotly like what you sent us last weep, If it ain't exactly like that she won't take it." The grocer turned to his customers and remarked blandly: "Some people don't like particular customers; but I do. It is my delight to get them just what 'they want. I will attend to you, in a moment, my boy." "All right," said the boy, "but be sure and get the same kind. A lot of dad's relations are visiting our house, and me doesn't want 'em to come again." Not a Profiteer. It happened on King Street. An old man was selling pencils. A young man approached and, choosing one rom the stock on. hand, asked the rice. When told it was Sive cents, the purchaser, wishing to be good hearted, gave ten cents. Imagine his astonishment when the old man said: "Young man, you will be selling pen- ils when you reach my age if you quander your money in that way. When I was your age I was the same way. I could not hold on to money, hence my present position. I now only ask a living. Heed my warning in time." The service ,of God is the most per- c feet freedom any soul can have.

The correct Gaelic form of this fami- ly name is either "O'Cairbre" or "Mac Cairbre." As a matter of fact thereame four distinct sources of this family or clan. name, for there were four distinct and separateclans among the Irish bear - ung . this name. One of them was in Leinster. Tra- diitionhas it that this clan, known as "O'Cairbre," derived its name from a chieftain of the O'Dwyer line called "Cairbre" and surnamed "Cluitheach-, ar." The given namemeans, figura- tively, "chief of the chariot." .rr The Offaly :Carberrys were known as "Clann Cairbre" and this name was sometimes Anglicized, 'MacCerberry. This clan was, an offshoot of the Col- gams. The Orgiall Carberrys• used :the p1 oy fixed "0' " rather than the "Mac," -and were a development of the Olan Corti - There was; another "Claim Cairbre" In Ulster, and' this one was a branch. of the mnorr, finCie ut elan.of the O'Mad- dens. "Calrbre" was . wrdesrpread given name among the medieval Irish, as may be gathered from the fact that no !ess thlan four cltieftaln_s: of this name had cla,na named. after them. • ASHTON Racial Origin—English. Source -A locality. Until the final and complete list of family names has been made up, and each has been traced definitely to its source, it will be an open question as to whether there is a large number of family names originating in . England w,hsch come from localities or from the dol given names of the fathers of the orig- inal bearers. Here is an addition to the list of those which have been developed from place names. It is not possible in the individual case to assign the exact locality from which the family name of Ashton de- veloped. There are so many 'Ashtons, s' and in addition there: were probably wi more planes whose names since have h been changed. This name, so far as can be aster h talned, has been quite regular in its ti development,.' Originally it wast -•pre -tl ceded by the Saxon "atte" (meaning' "of" or "'from" and "at the") and was - used in conjunction with a man's given ha name simply to distinguish him fromf an a be sq Honest Milkman. The dealer wase charged with selling adulterated milk and he pleaded not guilty. "But," said the ' judge, "the testi- mony shows that your milk contained 25 per cent. water." "Then it must be high-grade milk," returned the dealer. "If your Honor will look up the word 'milk' in your ctionary you will find that it contains 0 to 90 per cent. water, I should have sold mann a for cream," The Inconsiderable Fish.

Of all the perils dreaded by those who sail across the Atlantic, .icebergs are by far the most formidable. A new device has been, brought out by a French inventor which detects icebergs when they are six miles away. Melting lee sends out rays which are invisible to the eye, but which affect a delicate instrument called the thermo- couple This apparatus can be made so fine- ly that it will register the presence of a lighted candle at a distance of half a mile. The thermo-couple is connected to a telephone receiver on the bridge of the ship. When conditions are normal it emits a continuous note of unchang- ing pitch. As soon as an iceberg is ap- proached, however, the note changes, and the look -out man knows et once that there is danger. MONEY ORDERS. Remit by Dominion Express Money Order.

The cost of laying has hitherto pre- vented the wide use of copper for roof- ing, but a new method that does away with the soldering now makes a cop - pee roof little more expensive than one of slate or composition ehingles. The sheets, which are eight by eigh- teen inches, in size, are laid in much the same way as old-style shingles were laid, except that each, sheet is locked in, a watertight joint to its neighbors and to verge strip, eaves piece and ridge flashing.
