The officials of county police court
were startled one day to see a man
walk into the court with an enormous
axe over his shoulder. He glared
fiercely around him. as if he expected
to be attacked. Ultimately the clerk
of the court ventured to ask him why
he was armed with SO formidable a
weapon The man replied that
his summons told him to be pro-
vided with a means of defense, and he
considered that an axe would do for
that purpose.

Crooked in the Cradle of the Deep"
1t was while returning home from
Europe in 1892 that Emma Willard
wrote the famous ballad, Rocked in
the Cradle of the Deep"
In midocean terrific storm set in
and the frail snip was tossed about by
tt.he waves. The passengers were all
badly frightened, except Miss Willard,
who seemed to undergo the whole ex-
perience with a feeling of graft tude
Soon after the storm had abated she
appeared in the main cabin and read
the first verses of the ballad. The
Due de Choiseul was among the
passengers and he went into ecstasies
about the piece. He prevailed upon Miss
Willard to finish it. She did so, VIII ere
upon the duke set the words to music,
but the air is not the familiar one
known now. Emma Willard wrote
many other poems, but none of them
ever became so popular as this one.

A MIGHTY CHANGE.


What Will Happen if Europeans Carry
Out Their Intentions.
There is !. movement on foot in
Eastern Europe to cut canal be-
tween the Black and the Caspian seas:
also to rcconncct the Dead Sea with
the Mediterranean. The Dead Sea is
nothing more tina n a small but very
old salt lake now IN an advanced stage
of evaporation. 1t lies several feet be
low the level o: he Mediterranean,
just as the Gasp e, many feet be-
low the level uG 80 Black Sea. In
both eases the sur face must once have
been continuous. This being the case
1t is clear that the Caspian and the
Dead seas have both evaporated to an
enormous extent. While all the sur
roundings prove that evaporation has
been the prime cause of the shrinkagc
of the two bodies last mentioned,
there is one remarkable fact which de-
serves particular attention in this
connection: While the urfacc of the
Caspian has fallen to u point only SIS
feet below the level of the Black sea.
the Dead sea has shrun,i to the enor
nous depth Of La. feet below the
Mediterranean. 1t IS said that con-
nection between the Mediterranean
and the Dead seas would drown ont
the whole valley of the Jordan, join the
last named sea to the Sea of Galilce
and otherwise contribute to the COM
plete change of scripturai geography.

IRON AND STEEL.

report OF the American Iron aud Steel as
secation, which will shortly be issued,
Secretary Swank gives general review of
the domestic iron trade for last year TT
cannot be truly said that our iron and steel
Industries were prosperous in 1892" he
says, ''and the lack OF prosperity was con
spicuously shared by the farmers of the
west aud the cotton planters OF the south,
Thus far In 1923 prices of most iron aud
steel products were lower than they were
at the end of 1892. The general financial
situation lii this country and in Europe in
1892 was not favorable TO the building of
new railroads, aud hence was not favorable
to our iron aud steel industries" "
The secretary gives production as
the principal cause Of the depression.
