A Submerged Forest.

Scientific American.
During the late violent storms in the
Channel the sea washed through a
high and hard sand bank near the
Isle ofSt. Malo, France, nearly four
meters thick. laying bare a portion oil
an ancient forest which was already
passing into the condition of coal.
This forest at the beginning of our era
covered an extensive tract of the
coast; but with the sinking of the
land it became submerged and cover
ed up by the drifting sand. Mount
Saint Michel once stood in the middle
of it. The forest had quite disappear.
ed by the middle of the tenth century.
Occasionally at the very low tides after
stsrms, remains of 1T are disclosed
just at present. 1t is believed that
some centuries ago the highest tides
rose about - meters above the level
OF the lowest ebb. Now the high
water level Is 15.5 meters above the
lowest.

Notes on the SiIo.

As the dairvman who coined
teames" w..l sir. Vallette, as set
forth in his letter of last month, | will
st ate few additional facts about
that silo. 1t was covered with boards
weighted down with dirt, but the
boards did not settle evenly with the
ensilage and so did not pack it down
as closely as 1T ought, consequently
from eight to twelve inches in width
around the sides of the pit is mouldy
and sour. Otherwise it is good--frst
rate. 1t is sweet and chew some of
the pith nearly every day myself.
The cattle eat every scrap OF
il; you can not see one bit of it
after they are through eating;
they would even eat the mouldy por-
tion if gave it to them. II, instead
of the boards, had covered the top
with tarred paper and then covered
the paper with hay, none OF the ensil-
age would have have spoiled, as the
tarred paper would have settled even
ly with the ensilage. No part OF the
ensiiage was frozen. You may be
sure it was no soft snap getting the
stalks out; q hay knife was great
help to me. Next fall hope to have
a stack cutter and erusher. There is
no doubt that ensilage causes an in
creased flow of milk and keeps the
cattle in good condition, and recon-
mend it, not only to all dairymen,
but to all stockgrowers.

Her lips quivered, and you saw then

Goats ON the Farm.

A good many farmers who are
doubtful of the future profit from
wool growing are inquiring about the
Aurora goats and the probable value
OF their heeces. We have always insis-
ted upon the wisdom OF holding on to
the sheer, which are clearly CT more
value, on the farm than any other
kind or live stock except hens. We
would strongly urge farmers who have
sheep TO keep them, ard especially to
refrain from taking goats in place OF
them. The market for mohair is ex-
ceedingIy close, only two dealers in
the United States handling it to any
large extent; while only four manufae-
turers use it in any considerable guam
tity. Moreover, the goods made from
this fibre are becoming decidedly I'M
popular and are being largely displac.
ed by wooden fabrics. Goats flesh is
not popular as mutton, although a
young kid is often used as as lamb
without being discovered as such by
the consumers. Hence 1t is scarcely
wise just now TO discard sheep for the
very much inferior goat.

Rnhhed hr tho Mhites

Prior to the year 1888, number
bands and tribes of New York
Indians had obtained 500, coo acres
of land in the state of Wis
coHsin upon which they proposed to re-
side. In the year above named treaty
was entered into between the United
States and these Indians whereby these
lands were relinquished to the govern
ment in consideration OF tract of land
now in the state of Kansas aggregating
l sci. 900 acres, being $50 acres for each
Indian, as their numbers was then COM
pated. The treaty, among other things,
provided that such of these tribes as did
not accept the treaty within five years
should forfeit all rights under the saHe.
In 1s42 some The indians settled upqn
the lands, but how many S not now
known. In 1916 they we followed by
200 others Of their tribe From that time
until as late as IS 0 the reports os Indian
AGENTS and others show that these Indians
were the victims OF persis ,ent and often
cruel prosecutions by the whites, who
sought to get possession Of their fertile
lands.
In 1878 the secretary of he interior, in
report, says that from death and the
hostility of the settlers all of the Indians
gradually rein lutSnea theif selections
until only 81 remained in 1860. An
Official report by the secretary of the in
terror dated Feb. Is, 1871, says that those
lands were tiien all or nearly al occupied
by white persons who had driven the
Indians IRON their homes, and recommend
ed that some action be taken by congress,
Two years later an act was passed per-
mi ting bona fide claimants and occupants
of the 81 aiiotments to purchase 100 acres
of the same at an appraised valuation and
providing that the money should be paid
into the United States treasury for the
benefit of the Indians. About eight hun
bred and eighty acres of the land was
sold, producing -, 05S. The price paid
was in no case less than four dollars and
fifty cents per acr
Recently bill was passed to sell to
those bona tide claimants who failed 10
purchase under the law of 1878 the re-
mainder of the land for So so per acre.
The President has Just vetoed it, urging
that as the land has Increased rather than
decreased in value since Isl it should
not be sold at less than 81 so per acre.

RIgkseous Judgment.

Considerable comm0tion has been
created in insurance circles by the
| recent decision OF the Maine supreme
court in the case of McGlinehy VS.. the
Fidelity and Casualty Company.
The facts in the case are these: While
q person insured under an accident
policy was driving on public street,
his horse SHE'D at a load OF leather
and ran short distance without up
setting the carriage or coming IN con-
tact with anything before he was
brought under control by the driver.
But the driver was apparently en-
dangered at the time, and suffered so
severely, either from fright or from
some strain caused by his physical
exertions in restraining the horse,
that he died within an hour, appar.
entity from heart disease, no mark OF
external violence being visible. 1t
was held by the court, chat the death
may be considered as having ensued
from bodily injuries effected through
external violent and accidental
means. The clause in the policy which
provides that the insurance shall not
extend to any bodily injury of which
there shall be no external and visible
sign upon the body of the insured
does not apply to fatal injuries, but
only to those not resulting ia death"
The organs OF insurance companies
are naturally exercised over this deci.
sion, by which the defendant company
was defaulted, and have much to say
anent this remarkable construction"
put upon an important clause in ac-
cident policies. But whatever view OF
the matter may present itself TO
the legal mind, it cannot appear
otherwise TO unprecedented laymen
than Just and equitable; for in
this instance death Was clearly the
result of accident, indirectly at least,
and such hair splitting is ridiculous
as should declare the insured entitled
to recover under his policy in case he
toppled over and rubbed off square
inch of cuticle, and that though his
internal belongings were shaken to Jelly
he could get nothing. To be sure, a
strict construction of the reading of
the policy might lead to this conclu-
sion, but it seems TO us that the
court was correct in injecting into its
decision a modicum OF common sense.
Insurance policies, it is needless to
say, whether they be issued by life or
fire companies, are so worded as to
give all possible means OF escape to
the companies, while seeming to pre-
serve the rights of the holder in every
possible way, and they should there
fore oe construed in the spirit in
which they appear to be framed rath-
