wears II will be totally submerged. and
there will soon be nothing to prove the
existence OF one OF Nova Scotia's Oldest
landmarks. In the year l775. according
10 the earliest charts, the island was
forty miles long and two and one hall
miles wide. Tho next survey was or
dered in 1903 by General Sir George
Provost. the Governor OF Nova Scotia,
and from his report we learn shFt the
island is thirty miles in length AVID two
miles in breadth, with hills loo to zOO
feet in height. In 1856 the island was
visited by the late Hon. Joseph Howe
for the purpose Of making himself ac-
quainted with the condition OF the Place,
and by actual measurement he io'ind
that the island had decreased at the vest
end eleven miles in the last thirty years,
and for the safety Of navigation and Tor
prevention OF disasters a new chart was
compiled. During 1850 and 1871 there
was little change in the west side OF the
island but the winter Of 1881 was re-
markable for its many storms, gale fol-
lowing gale in. rapid succession, and
during one gale seventy feet by quar-
ter of mile departed. A short time
afterward thirty feet of the whole width
disappeared in few hours.
In the winter OF 1887 BAT feet we're
swept away, and the altitude Of the bill,
which when the first survey was made
was from $50 to 200 feet, was only 81
feet The earth has been washed from
beneath three lighthouses, the first being
placed five miles from shore, the next
four and now operations for the third
ope have been commenced. The island
is now only nineteen and one half miles
long and less than one mile wide. Should
the breakers continue the work now In
operation the day is not far distant when
the sea will smile and sparkle over the
place as calmly and cruelty as only the
sea knows how.

Monuments of an Unknown Lace.

Unhewn stone monuments arc among
the most interesting relics Of prehistoric
man found in Franco and other portions
of Europe, the ancient province of Brit
tany being especially rich In them. Tho
builders, Mr.. Thomas Wilson states, are
supposed to have como from q more or
less remote east during the polished stone
age, bringing knowledge of agriculture,
some ideas OF government and u religion,
with less of art than the inhabitants Of
the country before them possessed. They
buried their dead, and left tho magni6-
cent monuments over them which, to the
number of more than $500 in Franco and
more than ] 600 in Brittany, arc now be-
ing carefully restored and preserved by
the French government. Some Of these
monuments are made up of many i'm
mense stones, while others arc really col
lections of monuments in great numbers.
The works arc known by various names.
A mcnhir is q large stone standing on
end; dolmen, table like tomb; crom-
lech, circle Of stones; an alignment,
lines Of mcnhirs; and q tumulus, mound
of earth or stones usually covering dol
men. Many Of the monuments must
have disappeared, but oil these remain,
dotting the country in every direction,
enormous, rough, rudo, unhewn granite
stones-belonging to another civilization,
mighty in its time, but now dead and
buried in the ages Of tho past, with no
inscriptions and 10 history,

Manual Training I'm Schools.

The extent to which manual exercises
may DO introduced into public schools will
no doubt be governed by certain peculiar
limitations. To begin with, it is not ex-
pected that boys generally will be able to
handle heavy tools until about 10 years
old. Give them, therefore, exercises in
which tho lighter means may be employed,
such as glue, the jackknife, etc. Again,
wo arc limited by the absolute impossi-
bility of generally connecting with COM
mon schools work shops and special In
structors Furthermore, courses of study
already overcrowded, and the lack OF
specially prepared teachers, are obstacles
which the average country school, at
least, cannot overcome. Industrial draw.
ing is largely taught throughout the
county. We would urge that exercises
connected with it be arranged for an out
growth Of constructed objects. This is
not only practicable, but applicable to all
common schools.
Depend upon willing parents, brothers
and sisters for whatever home instruction
is necessary in tie manual execution of
the thought, and we shall ut least have
wisely directed the natural tendency OF
children to make things, and have aroused
an interest which will assist materially in
the establishment of special manual train.

It is q popular fallacy that soft shell
crabs are different species from hard
shell crabs. Practical fishermen and
scientific books both disprove it, The

year to the grown crab comes a season OF
peril and fear He crawls into dark
Granny or nook in the rocks, swells out
until he cracks open his shell, and then
creeps ont This operation is sometimes
extremely painful, for his claws are much
larger than the joints through which they
must be pulled, and they are often LAGER
ated in the process. If his flesh did not
become soft and watery before shedding
he could not get out at all.
When tho crab has moulted, the once
mailed warrior, who feared no foe except
a more powerful antagonist of his own
kind, is at the mercy of any enemy who
can get into his retreat. When the
female crab mouths her male consort
chivalrously guards the entrance to her
hiding place until her skin is covered
with fresh deposit of limo. The ex-
perienced ego can tell when the change is
approaching. Last year q number Of
"shedders" established themselves on tho
Thames, few miles south Of Norwich,
near Fort Point. They caught hard shell
crabs. imprisoned them in cratic be.

been shed, the s"soft shell crabs" werc

The solid South Might 30 Solder.

The Savannah (Ga.) News warns thos"

significant concession that there are some)
that party utilization in tho south means

cans should be disfranchised in order to
keep them out of power both in state.
