ground SO thin that it is transparent The
separate grains of sasd Silica. each sur
rounded by a coating of the flexible cement
ing material, are very plainly indicated.
The way in which the cementing material
was introduced into the itacolumite is not
easy of explanation. Mica and sericite are
not soluble and could not have been depos-
tied by water. like cacite or silica. 1t is
most probable that they were originally
introduced in the form Of clay or some
similar material. and afterward metamor-
phOsed by heat. pressure and superheated
steam into mieaceous mineral. Instances
of n similar change of one mineral species
into another are very common.
Itacolumite is also remarkable for the
precious minerals and metals occurring in
it, Scales Of geld and diamonds are alum
dant, and the celebrated gold and diamond
bearing sands Of Brazil have been largely
formed by the disintegratien OF this rock.

That's the Time When Healthy Boys
Look Like Yellow Fever Patients.
Bradford Era
II your boy amounts to a continental you
will notice that when he comes home even
ings now his lips are stained yello~ish
brown and his fingers are the color OF
fresh Egyptian mummy. You know what
it means You have had the same ouiland-
ish color on your own hands, no matter now
white and soft ;hey may be now. Boys
are boys the world over, and the boy
of today manages to get out among the
thickest in the creek bottoms, much as the
boy has done for years and years. In the
creek bottoms butternut trees grow. Large
trunks. broad sweeping branches, sticky
| queer fruit and ample shade. by some
| strong but wise provision of nature butter
| nut trees always grow along the creek
! banks, and stones are plentiful IN the
| streams. They are plentiful also beneath
the Dutternut trees, for many generations
| of boys carrying big flat stones TO points
| where they would do the most gooa fhas
| brought Mohammed and the mountain to-
gether.
When your hopeful comes home with His
fingers brown and his face looking like a
yellow fever patients, he has only been
down to the creek bottoms. lie mas Deen
climbing the crooked Trunks and out upon
the streng limbs of the butternut trees. He
has stolen the developing milky fruit not
yet ripe, but delectable nevertheless as the
| lips of a bride. He has gathered his
store beneath the tree, and with fiat
stone to hammer on and a carefully
selected stone to hammer with be has
sat and robbed the nut of its kernel and
its stain. 1t is not veiy satisfactory TO the
appetite. It's good deal on The green
apple order Of feastlng. The stains hang on
the boys hands for weeks. But what's the
difference? Boys have eaten green butter
nuts since they were boys, just as ostriches
eat glass or billygoats chew circus posters
off the dead walls Nobody can account for
il any more than we can tell why pig runs
about with wisp of hay in his mouth be-
fore storm, or why dog turns round
before he lies down. i. is enough that it is so.

pistols. AS the train pulled out, the
trainmen jumped aboard, kicking the
negroes off. The negroes fired at them,
without, however, doing any damage.
At Falkville officers were notified and
went in search of the robbers. A mile
away the gang was encountered and re-
fused to surrender. A pitched battle
ensued, in which Tom. Wright, n of
the robbers, was killed. Tom Randall
and Henry Williams we're arrested. Tom
Herd, the fourth man, fed, but was
caught by the officers, who pursued him
on an engine. The negroes confess to
being the men who held up and robbed
the Georgia Pacific mail train at Weems
on the night of March 30, for whose ar
rest the Government offered a reward of
5000. They also confess to attempting
to wreck and rob a Louisville and Nash
vile train recently at Boyles. This is
the first instance in this section where
negroes were full-fedged train robbers.
