Many infants talk at surprisingly
early age. Instances have been known
of babies yet in their swaddling-clotheS
who would discourse ON all manner of
topics. To be sure. the drift of their re-
marks had to be interpreted by a fond
mother, but no one wound dare say that
baby didn't talk.

Where Did il Come From?

In the year 1877 some workmen who
were engaged in building a bridge
across Chappelle creek a small stream
rising near the town of Ashland, O.,
and running through Erie county and
into Lake Erie-found it necessary to
excavate to the depth of some 1S feet for
one of the abutments, and when they
had reached nearly the required depth
struck perfectly preserved red cedar
tree, which had lain there perhaps for
ages. waiting the time when its little
story should be told The bark and q
portion of the .'sap" was decayed, but
the colored portion (nearly the whole OF
the WOODY was as sound as when it ceas-
ed growing. 1t was about two feet
thick for something like forty feet from
the root-the length of the section re-
moved. The find caused good deal
of interest among the inhabitants of that
neighborhood, and number of base
ball bats were made from the log, on ac-
count of the curious manner i'm which it
had been preserved no less than of the
kind of wood, red cedar being entirely
unknown in that country. The point at
which the bridge was being built is
about eight miles from the shore OF Lake
Erie, near the village of Florence, and,
of course, much higher than the present
level of the water in the lake. The
question "Where did it come from, and
how, and when, and in what manner
was it buried to this great depth?'' is
one which might engage the attention
of some professor of geology.
