COnnectIcut,s Extinct Volcano.

Professor Davis, of Harvard University.
was telling couple OF friends in the
Brunswick Cafe the other evening of an
extinct volcano he discovered not lono
ago near Mcriden, Conn. While out
with DR.. Chaplin, of Meriden, investiRat.
ing the mountains and valleys OF the Nut.
meg State he came across what has since
been matter of great scientific interest.
The esh bed Of on extinct volcano was
discovered between Mcriden and the little
town Of Berlin. The ash bed Is an over.
hanging cliff about twenty-five feet biQl
and fifty feet long and Of grccnish
tingue. In describing it, he said: son
the face OF the cliff are occasional pockets
Of quartz crystals, some Of which shade
to amethyst and some 70 rose. Another
feature Of the cliff Is the prevalence OF
roundish stones, varying from one 10 four
feet in diameter. These were the bon bs.
In geological parlance, aud were portions
OF the trap rock which were elected from
the active volcano. Another exceedingly
interesting object wos a small portion Of
the sandstone bed twisted and contortcd
by the action Of heat end pressure"
Many scientists have visited the scene
Of his discovery and they unite in saying
that there was nothing else Of its nature
this side Of the Rocky Mountains. The
volcano which produced the phenomenon
must have been extinct Thousands Of years
ago. Moo York Star.
