AK lex PAss.-There is a pass in the
Catskill mountains, between Shandakin
Center and Westkill, Ulster county,
where snow and ice can be found at all
seasons of the year. A road runs some
five miles up a deep hollow, bounded on
two sides by high mountains, with a clear
ice cold stream Of water rnnning down
its center. Stretching across the head of
this hollow is apOther mountain, some
what higher than the others, that made
mo think this passageway had suddenly
terminated in sort of cI de sac, but
upon arriving at the base the road turns
directly to the right and enters a narrow
pass-hardly fifty feet in width. On the
sides the mountain towers upwards a
thousand feet from the road way, but so
steep that when the trees have shed their
foliage the top can be seen by a person
standing at the foot There is snow and
ice during the hottest days of Summer a
te@ feet from the roadway. There are
large masses of solid ice in some caves
not further than five feet from the road.
Strange as it may seem, the growth of
vegetation is very rank, the lichens espe-
eially covering the rocks profusely, though
animals are very scarce, it being too cold
for their comfort.

500 years before Columbus was born the
Irish discovered North Carolina, and
called it Great ireland. In support oi
this somewhat startling proposition the
lecturer showed that the Esquimaux in
formed Lief, the son of Erie the Red, in
the year A. d., 1000, that white men
lived south Of Chesapeake Bay; that the
