Why We Should Teach Geology.

Geology, then, in it's broadest scope
should be taught in our schools and
colleges, and for at least twelve good
reasons.
At the outset we would claim that it
holds equal rank with astronomy or BIZ
ology. The former science tells us of the
existence of other worlds than ours, and
gives US some conception of the i'm
mensity of space. The study of plants
and animals carries an impressive lesson
as to the unity prevailing amid all the
diversity of Nature, besides atfording the
hope that we may at some time discover
the origin of life, since it has already
opened the way to an explanation of the
origin of the existing forms of life
while the grand outcome of geological
study is that it brings wildly before the
mind the immensely of time, enabling US
TO realize that time is only less than eter-
nifty. 1t also teaches us that our earth
has had history, that our own race has
had high antiquity; and thus the con-
temptation of past geological ages, recl1-
Oned by millions OF years, the fact that
our earth is coeval with the sun in age
all these considerations tend to immeas-
urably expand our mental horizon, and
thus to react III way to broaden the
mind.
Geology is also the complement of biol
ogy. AS soon as one has mastered the
rudiments of botany and zoology, and OF
the distribution OF reforms in space,
the range of his thoughts should be eX-
tended to take in the orderly succession
of life in past ages, and the evolution of
modern specialized plants and animals
from the earlier, generaliZed types.-Pro-
fessorA. S. Pack in The Popular Science
Monthly.

Circus or Funeral.

The woman who loved to go to funerals,
of whom Ihe Companion lately printed
story, has u kindred spirit III Aunt
Polly" who lives in Vermont, according
to q veracious chronicler in the Boston
Gfyo6e.
Barnum's circus had come to the next
town, land Aunt Polly who had never seen
an elephant, had been telling for some
weeks how she did just long TO go to the
show on the eyentful morning. there
fore, her married son, Josh, told her to be
ready at l clock, and he would harness
up' and take her over.
''Well, now" exclaimed Aunt Polly,
with unexpected hesitation, II don't
know about that. 1 want to see the show
awfully bad. but, We see, Deacon Perkins
funeral comes off to-day, and l don't lust
know which I'd enjoy the most. There'n
be lots of folks there, and besides / may
live till Barnum comes again, but this is
the only funeral Deacon Perkins will
ever have.
II guess, JOSH" she concluded, "rll
have better time at the funeral than at
the circus.'
And Aunt Polly went to the funeral

A VOTING MACHINE.
Mechanism May Prove Better Than
the Australian system.

An article in a New York newspaper
recently gave the following description
OF patent for registering votes, which
indicates that something better than the
Australian system may yet be made use
of. 1t says:
The first practical test Of the Meyers
voting machine was made at the Lock
port town election recently. The polls
were opened at $50 4. NJ, and the first
voter TO pass into the booth was Super
visor John q. Freeman, who had been
renominated and registered the first vote
Tor himself. The fun then went on ner-
rily. The machine has been III this city
Tor over two weeks, and nearly everyone
has tried it. There were newspaper rep
resentatives from all over the State and a
number OF prominent politicians arrived
on morning tram to watch the practical
workings of the machine.
The machine consists of an iron and
steel booth five feet square and seven feet
high. A keyboard has the Republican,
Democratic, Prohibition, Labor and what
ever other ticket is being run displayed,
each candidate named being next TO a
knob, which, when pressed, registers a
numb Der on the same name on the oppo-
site SIDE. This side OF the board is Sc
cureIy locked and cannot be opened an
I'll the voting has ceased. When the back
doors are unlocked, IN moment the eX-
aminer can tell how many votes each
candidate has and who is elected on the
various tickets. The machine viii, it is
said, pay its cost in two years.
y voter is allowed but a minute to
register his vote. The average time OF
each voter was twenty seconds, while
some voted in eight seconds.
Two candidates for the same Office can
not be voted for: as when the bottom of
one name Is pressed it locks the button of
the other party's candidate. The ballot is
perfectly secret, robbing the vote buyer
and lnumidating employer of their mis-
sions.
The working of the machine was per-
feet, and when the polls were declared
closed the doors to the counter-com-
partmentS were rolled back, revealing in
moment the result of the days ballot
ing. Under the old system the counting
takes from three to four hours.
The result was shown at the first as fol-
lows: James Martin (Democrat), for
Supervisor, 1SS; John w. Freeman Re-
publican), PA; John Hall (Prohibitionist),
"a. Inside of ten minutes the full
vote of the siXty-four candidates in the
election was inscribed by the clerks on
The returning blanks and ready for filing
in the County Clerks office,
By this machine, it is claimed, the total
vote of the entire State in National or
State election could be ascertained within
an hour. The total vote on the heads OF
the tickets to-day tailed with the names
put down by the inspectors.
The bill authorizing the use of the ma
chine at town elections passed the State
Senate unanimously, the middle Of last
March, and the Assembly by vote OF
eighty to seven. 1t has been in use two
years past in mock elections, and has
registered over 49,, 600 votes. 1t has not
broken, made an error or failed to operate
correctly in that time.

From a Leading New York Florist.

c. T. Klunder of 907 Broadway, New
York, is one of the best known florists in
America. Florists, like other persons,
are subject to the ills of life, notwith-
standing the fragrance surrounding their
calling, but, like other persons, they can
be cured Of their ills. NJ. Klunder writes:
81 cordially recommend ALLcoCK's
Porous PLAsTERs. l have found them,
after ten years constant use, wonderfully
eflicacious in coughs, colds, pains in the
side, back and chest. AS chest protectors
and shields against changes in the
weather they are invaluable My hot
house men use great many, and L and
family are never without this never
failing external remedy

Walt Whitman's Home.

Walt Whitman's late home, little
frame house, worth about $1,000 or 8, 0O0,
is to be bought and preserved in his
memory ii Mr.. Traubel, one of the ex-
ecutors Of the poets Will, can raise the
money. Already circulars asking for
subscriptions have been sent out to Whit
mans admirers. Mr.. Traubel says that
the two bedrooms, where Whitman did
all his literary work, and the parlor
will be kept as it is. The interior will.
however, be somewhat repaired and
repainted. The Philadelphia Press
says that Whitman left q num-
Der OF manuscripts, containing both
prose and poetry, which have never
been published. Among them was
poem, columbus" recently written
on the coming Columbian Exposition.
There were also some personal effects,
which, if sold, would bring large prices,
but these will be kept in the old house.
