Age Of the Ohio.

An examination of the geological
structure of the country through which
the Ohio flows shows one but the ex-
IRENE end of the valley to be of later age
than the Carboniferous. Portions are,
indeed, far older; but the area covered
by these, though perhaps extensive
enough to allow the development of
some system Of drainage, was large
enough to develop a stream of any great
size. None OF the tributaries of the
river, either from the north or the south,
flow through regions more recent than
the Carboniferous, with the exception of
the lower parts of the Ohio itself and of
the Tennessee, which border on the
Quaternary. The lowest formation in
the valley is the Cincinnati, which is
just touched at a single point, and only
for o short distance, abo-4 twenty miles
above the city. op
II may be stated, then, that since the
close of Carboniferous time the river has
flowed mainly in the same channel. The
vast antiquity of the river is thus easily
established, and the existence of tho wide
valley, with its broad bottom lands, is
readily accounted for. The story of the
river during the long period of pre-
| glacial time would be simple. For ages
its waters were probably poured directly
into the Gulf of Mexico, an arm of which
extended northward into the continent
at least as far as the present site of
| Cairo, Illinois. In later time the Missis-
| sippi- Missouri began the formation of g
delta, which, gradually extending, has
left the Ohio a tributary merely of the
| mighty FEATHER of Waters. Popular

A New Way Of Cleaning Reseryoirs.

A novel way to clean out city reser-
voirs has been discovered at West Hart
ford. The newest reservoir there had
its water drawn off last fall and cold
weather came before it could be cleaned
out. Rain and melted snow covered me
bottom with several inches of wafer, and
this o o froze over the Objectionable
mass Of muck. Then the gate wal
opened, and as the water was let on
gradually, the uncleanly mass rose, and
at last, when the water reached Its high
est level, was hauled ashore. The basin
was left as clean as q new penny, and

to draw numerous days pay for It's cleans.

The granite used by the men who do mon.
umental work in this city is largely brought
| from Maine. Fox Island granite Is much
used. There is quarry in Maryland whose
product is highly spoken of. All of the
granite arrives here by schooner, IN the
rough, in blocks Of all shapes and sizes, and
| sells at wholesale from 80 cents to 81 per
| cubic foot. From the schooner it goes to
the stone yard, where it is sawed by steam
power and polished il the work or customer
demands it. From here it is carried to the
yard, where it is cut and carved into monu-
mental designs by workmeu who receive 50
to x3 so or So per day, according to their
skill and experience. A cutter who receives
50 per day is a workman who can do any
class of work demanded Of him by his en-
ploYer.

them that their queer suggestions will in-
