Effect of Erosion on Mountains.

Foremost in their geographic impor.
lance, and in the intricacy and signif.
canoe of their geologic structure and
origin, are the mountain belts which
consist of folded rock formations. The
strata forming the upper part Of the
earth's crust are bent up and down in
long, nearly straight or curving, wave.
like ridges and troughs, and where their
disturbance was greatest the successive
ridged folds are closely pressed together.
The waves of the rock structure are then
pushed to such steepness that their sides
become parallel with each other, and the
entire fold is driven forward into an in
clined position.
The order of the strata on the lower
side of the oppressed fold is thus in
verted; the originally highest and last
formed deposits there lie beneath older
beds, in an overturned series. Subaerial
erosion then wears down the undulations
and the crests Of the closely folded
strata, often planning them off until a
long section, crossing mountain ranges,
passes from older to newer beds, and on
ward from newer to older, in several
alterations, having throughout the
whole nearly constant steep dip

Music in the Thunder.

A startling and most remarkable phe-
nomenon occurred in Brookfeld, Fair
field county, on Sunday night, Aug. 80,
which will be remembered to life's end
by those who heard it. About the time
for the evening service, and when the
congregations of the churches were
awaiting the beginning of worship, it
began to thunder and lightning in the
distance, and the shower appeared to
be rapidly approaching until it was di-
rectly overhead.
Suddenly there was burst of musical
thunder, sounding somewhat like gong
in different tones, and so marked were
the musical notes as to be sweet and al
most bugle like. AS quick as a flash all
the eyes of the congregation in the church
were directed to the ceiling, and the
suppressed cry of Whats that?" could
be heard all over the church. "Its
thunderr was the exclamation from all.
All were startled, although some were
more frightened than others.-Danbury

Rarely indeed is anything seen in the

but it is likely that many of them are as
brave as Thomas Burns, whose prompt
and daring deed recently saved the life
of a little Italian girl, and shamed hun.
dreds who inactively witnessed the Incl
dent. She had fallen into the fountain
of the City Hall park, New York city.
Crowds of we'll dressed people saw her
peril, but not one of them made an effort
to save her. They stared in speechless
dismay, some of them probably thinking
that water might injure their garments,
when Thomas Burns, whose attire de-
noted him to be of the tramp order, hur-
riedly made his way to the front, plung-
ed in and saved the imperiled child,
whose unconscious body already lay at
the bottom of the fountain.-Yankee

The Inventors Dream of Fame.

Every inventor has. some idea of dis
covering great useful article, which
will benefit the whole human race and
carry his own name down to posterity as
great man of genius. Often these am
bilious schemes are never realized, but
the best part of the inventors life is
spent in vain efforts to accomplish this
great result. Such high aims ennoble
and dignity his work, and, though they
may never be realized, he has the salts
faction of knowing that others will come
after him to take up the work which he
has left unfinished.
Many of the great inventions of today
have not been the product of one mans
genius, although he may enjoy all of the
credit, but the result of generations Of
thought, experiment and suggestion Of
dozens of scientists and inventors

Turning Water Into Empty Hot Boilers.
Some time ago boiler was constructed
In Manchester, England, with view to
testing the practice advised by some in
case of shortness Of water being dis
covered, of turning on the feed water, a
somewhat startling method Of procedure
according to some. In these tests the
furnaces were barred of water by opening
the blowoff cock and allowing the water
to escape while good bright fires were
burning, which could not fail to over
heat the plates.
When sufficiently heated to melt disks
of lead, tin and zinc the feed was sud-
denly turned on through special pipes
which injected the water directly on to
the heated plates, but in no case, as is
often assumed, was this followed by a
sudden generation Of steam at an exces-
sive pressure, but in one case actually a
reduction of pressure took place. The
only mishap which took place proved, it
seems, to have been due to the feed not
having been turned on soon enough.
Again, the hogging upward of the flue
tubes, which was accurately ascertained
by means of rods, was in some cases
found to be as much as one-half inch.
The individuality of hurrying fires
when raising steam was demonstrated as
beyond question.-New York Sun.

An Improved Shirt.

"coat shirt" This is garment which
in most respects does not differ from the
ordinary dress shirt. 1t has no claim to
novelty in appearance when it is worn.
The advantage is in the putting on. The
garment does not go over the head, but
is adjusted in the same way as an or
binary coat. 1t is closed behind and en-
tirely open in front. 1t is being put
upon the market this year, and it's future

How to Deal with n Doctor.

Always be careful to tell him the exact
truth as to what you gave the patient
before he arrived. Don't be afraid Of
him-he is almost as anxious to cure as
you are to have him. After the first
general statement he will examine the
patient and ask questions. Answer them
as plainly and briefly as possible. In a
case of some time standing it is particu-
larly important that he should have the
truth about what the patient eats. Don't
let the idea get into your head that a
doctors bill" is a sort Of charity. After
paying your taxes (Which you can't es-
cape) the next person paid should be the
doctor. 1t is not necessary to be over
modest in telling him how you got sick.
He has probably doctored bigger fools
than you.

Summary Ex,.ution.

A despotic government has its advan-
tages, and among them is the easy collec-
ton of a debt, provided the ruler is
friendly to the creditor. Ahmed Vefyk
Pasha, Turkish statesman, was once
governor of Broussa, and this story is
told of his paternal rule:
A rich man had Judgment pronounced
against him in favor of poor man. The
latter, owing to the brides of the rich
man, could not obtain execution, and
complained to Ahmed Vefyk. After
hearing the case, Ahmed saw the debtor
riding up to the Konak upon beautiful
Arab horse. He ordered the creditor to
sit down, called a messenger and whis-
pered to him.
The debtor entered the room, and was
surprised at the exceptional cordially Of
the pasha, who invited him to sit down,
to take coffee and to converse. Pres
emily, when he rose to leave, the pasta
pressed him to remain, and kept him
more than an hour, until, indeed, mes
senger entered the room and placed a
small bag on the table before Ahmed.
When the debtor next rose, Ahmed
took the bag from the table and gave 1t
TO him, stating: "This is yours. You
owed so much to this poor man, have
sold your horse, paid him, and this is the
balance belonging to you."-Youths

The Increase In Cremation.

The practice of cremation instead OF
ordinary burial is making steady prog.

Pere-la-Chaise furnace is in operation
which will reduce body to ashes in less
than an hour, at a cost of about thirty
cents for fuel. Since the establishment
of this system in the French capital

have died in hospitals have been thus

An objection to Dress Reform.

An OQectlOO I'd DTobb kSoIOrms
Dress reform is the topic of the hour.
It has been taken up by a larger body Of
women than was ever before engaged in
such an enterprise. and everv newspaper
in the country is discussing the move
ment. It seems to me, however, that the
Chautauqua lecturers who propose that
woman shall be clad in two garments
only, and those very different from any
she now wears, have overlooked certain
obstacles to their plans which are likely
to prove inseparable. The new style Of
dress, short skirted and stayless, is pro-
posed for the comfort of the working
woman. 1t offers no attraction to the
woman whose means and leisure enable
her to dress for adornment.
Once chosen by the working woman,
it will become the badge of her station,
and all who choose may read in it the
story Of her circumstances. The idea of
"station" is not pleasant to the working
American who likes to believe there is
really something in our boosted equality,
and that honesty and perseverance may
suffice to lift him to a plane with the
loftiest. "Station" is hard thing to get
out Of Once classified and ticketed, you
are likely to be kept in your place by the
rest of the world So think the Ameri-
can young woman who works for her
living is not going in very strongly for
dress reform of the radical kind just now
proposed. -Blakely Hall in. New York
