The Long Evenings.

BOYS, what are You going to do with
the long winter evenings? y writer,
addressing young men, says:
There is a world of possibility in the
good use of them. If you use your
evenings well for the next six months,
you will be worth more. to your en-
ployer, and find more JOY in your work.
Have you taste for science, and
would YOU like to know the reasons
why certain things occur as they do !?
If you have an inquiring mind in this
direction. then give yourself up to the
study of philosophy.
Have YOU taste for bookkeeping
or clerking: Then give your evenings
10 penmanship and the theory and
practice of keeping books.
Have YOU desire TO be speaker
II SO. devote your wiuter evenings TO
the study Of the art OF speech. and YOU
will be surprised AZ the gain YOU make.
Have you a taste for drawing that
has never been developed, and do YOU
wish to train your hand and eye to I've
equal to skilled workmanship If so.
devote Yourself to that branch Of the
art for which you have a taste.

More Than They Bargained For.

Inc regular secretion and flow of the gas

An Interesting Petrifaction.

Capt. II. Blackstone, Chief Enoi.
neer Of the Allegheny Valley Railroad
has in his possession a magnificent
specimen of moss sandstone-a rare
and beautiful petrifaction. 1t was
obtained in arching Anthony Tunnel
in the Red Bank Valley. on the low
grade division of the road. Petrifed
plants are not nnfrequently met with
in coal and shale formations, but thew
are rarely found in sandstone. This
interesting geological curiosity is
piece of boulder of Mahoning sand
rock, some fifteen inches in length by
seven III breadth, and averaging nm
inch in thickness. The surfaces are
smooth, and exhibit what seem views
of miniature forests. The edges Of
the stone disclosed the fact that these
apparent pictures are petrifactions of
moss most delicately and beautifully
formed. The petrified growths are in
layers, in involved yet regular order
each alignment distinctly preserved.
of from half to an inch in thickness.
and from three to five inches in length
through the whole stone. This fine
specimen of moss sandstone wasspro-
duced, it is surmised, in this way:
Floating beds of moss stranded and
sand settled down among it, In
long period of time the water eyap-
Grated, the hydrogen and other gases
composing the woody fiber Were elimi-
mated, leaving sufficient quantity of
the carbon of the plants to stain the
sand, whose molecules had formed
into stone. Under the microscope the
sand crystals show as distinctly as if
there were no petritieG moss present
in the stone. Pittsburgh Commercial.
