New Jerseys Oueer Green Sand.

DR.. Van Cleve, of Newark, n, J., gives
in the New York star a brief account Of
one of his States queerest geologic char
acteristics.
"Nearly all the way" he says, "from
Sandy Hook to Cape May is a curious bed
of what looks like gravel, but which has
been called Jersey mari, or green sand
by the farmers for the last two centuries.
If you examine it carefully you find TO
your surprise that it is not rock III the or
binary sense of the word, but n mixture
of fish bones and scales, sharks teeth and
other remains of life in the ocean, some
of which is petriied, and some as natural
as if it had been alive the week previous.
At Squankum | have seen little boys and
girls make necklaces and bracelets out of
huge sharks teeth that were almost as
clean and bright and good deal larger
than those caught to-day by our fisher
men. Some are so large as to be mon
strous, being triangles whose sides were
each three inches long and whose edges
and points were nearly as sharp as sur
pical Instruments At some points where
the mari comes close to the surface, the
weather has acted upon this vast mass Of
ancient dead matter and rotted the bones
into weak acid, which can be smelled for
rods, and which often affects the water
of wells in their vicinity. The green sand
is only utilized for one purpose-fertiliz-
ing-and in this regard it IS as valuable
as the finest Peruvian guauo, and far
cheaper. It's judicious use has converted
some land that once was 50 sterile as TO
be almost worthless into some Of our best
market and kitchen gardens. The fame
of the fertilizer has spread, and We now
send it by the carload and boatlOad to
other parts of the State, and even TO other
States and counties. The supply is mex
haustible. and, strange TO say, there has
never yet been any attempt to regulate itH
production, to control prices, or even to
mine or dig it upon a scientific basis. It
is dug by the farmers to-day Just ex''
actly as it was before the Revolution

50 easy name and 50 beautiful name, and
50 potent name, and so enduring a name
there are people who find no charm in those
two svllables. o come this day and see
whether there is anything in Jesus, I chal-
lenge those of you who are farther from God
to come at the close of this service and test
with me whether God is good, and Christ is
gracious, and the Holy Spirit is omnipotent.
/ challenge you TO come and kneel down with
me at the altar Of mercy. l will kneel on
one side of the altar and you kneel on the
other side Of it, and neither of US will raise
up until our sins are forgiven, and We
ascribe. in the words OF the text, all honor TO
the name of Jesus-you prououncing it,
pronouncing 1.-THE name that Is above
every name
His worth if all the nations knew,
Sure the whole earth would love Him too.
0 that God to-day, By the power of His
holy spirit, would roll over you a vision of
that blessed Christ, and you would begin to
weep and pray and believe and rejoice. You
have heard OF the warrior who went out to
fight against Christ. He knew he was in tho
wrong, and while waging the war against the
kingdom of Christ, an arrow struck him and
he fell. 1t pierced him in the heart, and IL.
ing there his face to the sun, his life blood
running away, he caught handful Of the
blood that was rushing out in his right hand,
and held it up before the sun and cried CUT
20 Jesus, Thou hast conqueredp' And If to-
day the arrow of Gods spirit piercing your
soul you felt the truth of what l have been
trying to proclaim, you would surrender now
and forever to the Lord who bought Won.

An Investment Bond.

The Equitable Life Assurance Society
announces a new contract which combines
the elements of life assurance with those Of
an investment Bond. By this combination
certain novel advantages are secured, while
the indemnity furnished by life assurance
is enhanced in value.
This Bond seems worthy of special at
tention.
The Equitable Society reports surplus
of twenty-five and half millions and it's
maturing policy contracts chow such large
profits, that these bonds are claimed to
have the double advantage of offering the
greatest security coupled with the certainty
of large profits at maturity. Sweeney &
