as possible theory of the origin Of

and John a. skayes suggested that Its
erosion was accomplished by means of
a mighty cataract which began far
down the river near its original mouth,

the valley like gorge which is so marked
a feature In the upper part Of its course,
and left the high bluff walls on either
hand. This view makes st. Anthony's

An English electrician has invented
a material which he calls alterion. for
the prevention of corrosion In boilers.
The interior is coated with this, and
currents of electricity are passed
through the boiler, and from time to
time reversed. The formation of the
scale is prevented by layer of hydro.
gen gas. which is deposited upon the
inner surface of the boiler. The re-
versed currents reform the hydrogen
into pure water, thin layer of pure
water being thus kept all around the
boiler.

How TO CARyE.-Poultry requires
more careful carving than ANYTHING
else brought to the table. a chicken
roasted may be removed from a dish to
the carver's plate; and as fowls are
generally served in couples, this does
| not dlsarrange the economy of the Ia
bic. The fork should be placed In the
centre OF the breast, and the knife car
RED down along the side. Then, in
sertiDg the knife under the leg. cut
downwards as far as the tail, and sepa-
rating the llgatuIe lear the point. when
jerking the leg back, the parts will give
way. Next separate the wing with the
edge OF the knife, and carry II through
10 the other side, when the wing IS cas-
lily detached. Separate the other leg
and wing In the same way. The wish
bone Is easily removed by inserting the
knife uncer it and bending 1t back.
remove the neck bones by putting the
Iork through them and wrenchIng them
carefully away so IS not to break them.
The breast must next be separated by
cutting through the ribs. Turn the
FOWL backwards on the plate and cut It
up.
Turkey may be served the same way
as chicken, excepting that as the breast
Is The most delicate part and affords
many good slices, these should be cut
lengthwise, and with thin portions of
the dressing handed round first. When
the turkey is large the whole of the
breast may be served in such slices.
When carving duck the slices from
the breast are cut, then the leg is re-
moved by cutting, then the wing.
Ducklings are carved in the same way
as pigeons.
Plgeons are usually carved In four
pieces, dividing each piece in half.
Many persons cut them through the
middle len2thwise and serve half the |
bird to each person.
