During the years 1ss9-9O Professor Henry
Beals of the British Royal society was in
the United States making a special search
for rocking stones" OF balanced bowl
ders" But few Of these geological won
ders are known TO exist, their scarcity as
well as the curious manner in which they
have been left poised upon mountain tops
and other emineuces makes them objects Of
uncommon interest. The professors visit
to this country was made mainly TO prove
that these curiously balanced stones. in
many instances weighing hundreds oftons,
were carried on floating ioebergs during
the epoch known as the glacial period"
and that the subsequent melting Of these
immense icefields left the stones in the po-
sitions in which they are now found.
There are two fine examples of rocking
stones" in New England, one at Noank,
Conn, ON the farm of Caleb Haley and the
other at Lanesboro, Mass. The former is
estimated 10 weigh % tons and oscillates
TO the extent of about six inches. and is so
evenly balanced as to be easily moved from
side TO side by the muscular eXertions Of
one arm and hand
The one at Lanesboro is described as be
ing the largest specimen Of the erratic
bowlder in existence in this or any other
country. It is As feet high and 20 feet long
and is estimated to weigh not less than
10000 tons -Philadelphia Press.

1t is often desirable 20 have hedges along

employed. Among the best Of these are

Injuries the hedges in these situations as it
is the drying of the ground by the roots of
the trees When weimagine the enormous
amount of moisture transporting from thou
