An migrating Ernc,i,nent.

Visitors to Mount Washington can
hardly have failed to notice in sew
eral places by the side Of the road
leading from the Glen to the summit
curiously bent and twisted rncl1s
some Of which striks7.gty resemble
layers Of rllnpled cloth. The evi-
dence which the forms of these rocks
furnish of the action of some tremen-
dous pressure in long past times,
which was able to bend and fold the
layers Of the earth's crust, is of a
kind that appeals to the eye and
mind of the most uninstructed OBJ
server.
The geologist sees in the mountains
themselves far grander proofs of the
might of those forces of disturbance
that have broken and corrugated the
rocky shell of the globe.
The effectiveness of the slow con-
traction, which the earth has under
gone as its interior has gradually
cooled off, in upheaving and defo1m-
ing it's surface is beautifully illus
trated by an experiment of the French
geologist, Professor A, Daubree.
He took distended bail of caout-
chouc made to initiate the form of
the earth, slightly flattened at the
poles, and covered it with a layer of
beeswax. Then the ball was allowed
to contract little. Immediately the
beeswaX surface was thrown into
folds, and fractured, and upheaved
in some places and depressed in
Others the effect being to produce a
striking resemblance to the surface
of the earth with it's mountains and
valleys and vast beds of broken and
tilted rocks.
So in few minutes, by this ingen-
ious experiment, a geological history
of the earth in miniature can be en-
acted, and while watching it, with
the aid of little imagination, we
may behold some of those mighty
processes which, acting through mil
lions of years, have gradually brought
our planet into the condition in
which we see it today.-Youth's
Companion.

English Feeling in Australia.


A few years ago Matthew Arnold,
writing to me ON the subject of the
future of education in Australia
prophesied that the rich class would
send their children to England. Moth
ing of the sort is happening. The
first generation, from which he prob
ably argued, has set no abiding
fashion. Fewer and fewer rich Aus
tralians will be found at Eton and
Rugby and Oxford and Cambridge.
A batch of travelling scholarships
may enable few university pets TO
realize (or not something of wha;
European culture has to teach them.
But the average temper of Austria
hans more and more shows itself
either ignorantly Indifferent or hos
tile to the outer world. The well to
do Australian native is beginning
to get touchy about his nationality
and TO resent 'importatons" from
foreign" lands, while the rich peo-
pie have not the wits TO soc the diff
ference between a good education
and bad. Ten years ago England
was spoken of aifectionately as the
old country or home. Now il is
"home," or, moro sarcasteally.
"'ome." The inverted commas make
all the difference, and the dropped
