Prof. f. c. Robinson, of Bowdoin College,
believes in the theory that there were once
Pemaquid, and writes "We saw the old
pavements, and could not but be convinced
that well-paved street existed there, foot
and a half below the surface. How long the
street was we could not judge but were told
that it had been traced several hundred feet,
and showed well made cutters and curb
stones. Some dCuSters of the party said
that it was not paving but a mere accidental
arrangement of stones upon an old beach.
One went so far as to state that he could
find dozen such places on the coast. But
to my mind there is not the slightest doubt
but that 1t was a real ancient pavement.
Rocks on beach are in my experience never
placed together and on edge. The work of
the waves tends always to arrange them
flatwise. In a street they are placed on
edge, for thus they pack closer and form a
frmer bed. The stones were not as large as
we find in our cities of today, but were large
enough to have stood the travel of the
smaller teams Of centuries ago."

The weatherwise are disputing whether
the recent disastrous commotion was really
the equinoctial storm. One signal officer
says that the conditions of the recent dis
turbances are altogether unlike those usually
distinguishing the equinoctial storm, due to
the warm waves Of the Gulf coming into I'M
pleasant relations with and being generally
worsted by the colder air from the north.
The effects at these times are quite as apt to
be felt inland as at sea, and are at least more
general than those of the recent storm seem
to be. As the sun crosses the line next Sun
day, we may look for another screeching
storm almost any time, If the opinion of the
signal officer is right. To landsmen, how
ever, the equinoctial gales are trouble only
in exceptional cases. II 1t were not for
few people who study almanacs they would
not be noticed In four years out of five.

rapidly the evangelization of the nations is
going on in every part Of the world. In the
afternoon a number of practical questions
were discussed by. Reys F NJ Woods, Craw-

Epoch

The transition from long, lingering and
painful sickness to robust health marks an
epoch i'm the life of the individual. Such a
remarkable event is treasured in the mem
ory and the agency whereby the good health
has been attained is gratefully blessed.
Hence it is that so much is heard in praise
of Electric Bitters So many feel they owe
their restoration to health, to the use of the
Great Alternative and Tonic. If you are
troubled with any disease of Kidneys, Liver

will surely find relief by use of Electric Bit
