to rattle it %, in tickets at 81 each

concerned. it would not pay the az

In Algeria there is river of genu.
inc ink. 1t is formed by the union OF
two streams. one coming from a region
Of ferruginous soil. the other
draining peat swamp. The water
of the former is strongly impregnated
with iron. that of the latter with gal
lie acid. When the waters mingle the
acid of the one unites with the iron Of
the other, forming true ink. We
are familiar with a stream called
Black Brook. in the Northern part of
this State, the inky color of whose wa
ter is evidently due to like conditions.

A party OF scientists have begun
the work Of excavating and exploring
the mounds at Spoonville, Michigan.
which were supposed to conceal the
remains Of prehistoric inhabitants Of
this region. Two mounds were open
ed. There were fourd human skulls,
pottery, copper utensils, hatcheis,
needles, etc. 1t was the unanimous
verdict that they were at least two
thousand years old. Further explo-
rations will be made. The scientists
are of the opinion that this will prove
among the richest discoveries of the
kind on this continent.
