STUDYING NATURf.
The Open Air school OF Geology at
Cumberland Gap.

Col. ". 9. P. Breckinrldge, OF Licking
ton, KY, in charge Of a party Stopping In
the city, has spent sometime at Cumber-
land Gap in East Tennessee with his
friend Prof. Shaler, State Geologist of
Kentucky, who is in charge Of the en-
campment Of students at that point. In
conversation with Col. Breckenridge a
UNION AND AMERICAN reporter last night
learned some interesting facts about the
encampment. At the Outses Prof. Shaler
limited his open air school both as to num-
Der and qualifications. The number was
not to exceed thirty, and that many we're
readily Obtained-all graduates Of some
recognized college or university, and pos
sessIng L talent Tor scientific Investigation
and research. They went into camp at CUM
berland Gap, with tents and full domestic
equipments and complete outfit for their
scientific researches, about the 2Oth OfJune,
aud will break up on the first Of September.
Thef have had lectures or some intellectual
exercise or treat morning and evening, and
have occupied themselves during the day
with field work, exploring the cOun-
try around the Gap for radius
of about twenty-five Emiles. They have
not only studied it geOlogicaly, but
Surveyed it, made maps, taken photo
graphs, analysed the soil, mineral and ores,
and examined the vegetation upon it. The
school has proved a most interesting and
profitable adventure. 1t is a novelty, how
ever, only in our section Of the country.
Harvard University has sent ont numerous
expeditions of the kind Of late years.
Prof. Shaler intends to make a report OF
lis work in Tennessee and. a. ne chose
one Of our most notable localities, it will
no doubt be an Interesting aud Valuable
contribution to geology.

A Down Town Merchant, having
passed several sleepiess nights, disturbed
by the agoInes and cries of a suffering child,
and becoming convinced that Mrs. Wins
lows Soothing Syrup was just the article
needed, procured supply for the child.
On reaching home, and acquainting his
wife with what be had done, she refused to
have it administered to the child, as she
was strongly in favor Of homeopathy. That
night the child passed in suffering, and the
parents without sleep. Returning home
the day following, the father found the
babV still worse; and while contemplating
another sleepless night, the mother stepped
from, the room to attend to some domestic
duties, and left the father with the child.
During her absence he administered Por-
tion of the Soothing Syrup to the baby, and
said nothing. That night all hands slept
well. and the little fellow awoke in the
morning bright and happy. The mother
was delighted with the sudden and won
derful change, and although at first Of
Tended at the deception Practieed upon her,
has continued to use the Syrup, and suffer
ing. CRYING babies and restless nights have
disappeared. A single trial Of the Syrup
never vel failed to relieve the baby and
overcome the Prejudices Of the mother.
