It is a singular fact that wo arc in
debted to Pompeii for tho great in
dustry of canned fruits Years ago
when tho oxcavations were just be
ginning a party of Cinoinnatians
found in what had been tho pantry of
tho house many jars of preserved figs
Ono was opoucd and they were found
to bo fresh and good Investigation
showed that tho figs had been put into
tlio jars in a heated state an aperture
left for tho steam to escape and then
scaled with wax The hint was
taken and the next year fruit canning
was introduced into tho United States
the process being identical with that
in vogue at Pompeii twenty centuries

tomatoes and peaches do not realize
that they are indebted for this art to

THE
JU
To tho traveler and tourists no spot
in eastern United States is of more
interest than Sullivan county X Y
whose confines contain moro pictur
esque beauty than any area of like
dimensions cast of the Rocky Mount
ains Its shaded vales and abrupt
wooded hills lofty ridgos of tho latter
often taking on all tho characteristics
of true mountains arc the originals of
many of tho fine paintings that grace
the spacious parlors of the Xow York
Philadelphia and Boston millionaires
Picturesque scenery is however not
the only claim Sullivan county has oiu
the attention of people who re
make sightseeing trips
Within its limits nature has left cvi
jUtSaiJvWm county tho title to which
Hl8o gives him the possession of tho
famous New York rocking stone
tho greatest curiosity in New England
At first it probably would not attract
moro than passing notice but it is
wjion a second and closer obcrvation
is made that the wonderful and deli
cate hand ef nature is seen both in its
composition and tho remarkable posi
tion which it occupies The total
woight of the immense bowlder has
been variously estimated at from forty
to sixty tons and its bulk at from 500
to 700 cubic feet It is almost per
fectly round much resembling a huge
orange and so nicely balanced on a
table of stone as to bo easily set in
motion by a single man provided tho
operator exerts his strength on the
north or south side
On either of the other sides the
combined strength of forty elephants
would not bo sufficient to causo tho
least oscillation Although it can be
rocked back and forth with perfect
case all tho men that could get
around it would not be equal to the
task of dislodging it from tho pivot
upon which it has rested sinco tho
days of the stone ago man the cave
bear and the glacial epoch The Mc
Laury farm upon which it is situated
is in an elevated valley 6omo 1500 feet
above tho sea level Tho body of tho
oscillating mass is composed of a
species of soft sandstone which has
become looso and badly decomposed
by exposure all except tho portions
underneath which arc still intact and
solid St Louis Republic
The Bad Lands of Dakota arc com
posed of white clay which by tho ac
tion of rains has been cut into hillocks
Thoy arc not high seldom moro thnn
forty or fifty feet bufit is up ono and
l5i7othcr tho whole way Thoro
arc no water cuiJrSS tho nearest ap
proach being a gully -10 feet iluci
a foot and a half of mud at tho bottom
At every few yards ono must stop and
with spado and shovel cut a pathdown
tho sido of a hill in order to descend
and then up tho sido of tho ono oppo
site in order to get up again Tho
mud is as sticky as tar and in going a
few yards tho wheels of a wagon be
come solid round cakes and all tho
mules that you can hitch to it will not
bo ablo to pull It a foot further Then
tho spades arc brought and tho wheels
cleared tho operation being repeated
two or thrco times in a hundred yards
Tho extcut of tho Bad Lauds in Dako
ta is probably a hundred miles from
north to south by fifteen to thirty
miles wide
