What Drumlins Are.

Professor Barton of the Institute of
Technology gave half hour talk before
the students of the Chauncy Hall school
the other morning on "Drumlins. 1t
is only within few years that any ex
tended research has been made into the
history of drumlins. The investigations
in this state have been conducted largely
by Professor Barton himself. A drum
lin, as the speaker explained, is mound
of material projecting upward from the
surface of the earth to sufficient height
to be called hill. This mound or hill
is made from loose bits of earth and
rocks torn from lodges at the time-some
thousands of years ago-when this part
of the earth was covered with sheet of
ice at least 1000 feet in thickness. AS
this vast sheet moved off to the south
ward it carried with it quantities of
earth and small fragments of rock,
which were deposited in valleys or heap
ed into drumlins.
The reason for the depositing of the
matter in valleys is an easy one to ex-
plain, but how it came to be piled into
hills has never yet been discovered. The
professor is at the present time making
this the subject of a special study, and
he hopes to solve the mystery before he
concludes the work of making a map of
the state of Massachusetts,, showing the
location of the 1900 drumlins within its
borders.-Boston Transcript.

A Useful Leg.

In the human body, at least, art never
replaces nature with better work, but
when false teeth refuse to ache and
wooden legs save men from drowning
one is tempted to make some exceptions.
An Alabama duck hunter had curious
adventure one day while on the water
in skiff. He had lost a leg in a rail
road accident and wore cork substi-
tute, useful for ordinary purposes, but
preventing him from following game ex-
cept in boat.
On this occasion, as he was an expert
marksman, he had almost loaded the
skiff with ducks when, in reaching after
a particularly fine bird, he overreached
and upset the boat.
Down went the birds, the gun and the
hunter, and as there was swift current
at that point the boat drifted away be-
fore he came to the surface. Being I'M
able to swim, the hunter clutched wild
ly for a support, but found none, and
would certainly have been drowned had
it not been for his cork leg.
1t kept him afoat, and at first he was
overjoyed; then he became apprehen,
sive. The cork leg had tendency to
invert him in the water, but after strug.
Cling against this for some time he
managed to unstrap the limb and use it
as float.
It was then easy to paddle ashore, and
the hunter was saved, although he lost
nearly everything else but his life

A Monster Advertisement.

The largest advertisement that has
ever been thrown out for wondering hui
mainly to gaze upon is that of the Glas.
gov News, made Of aowerbeds on the
side of mountain back of Ardenlee,
Scotland. The words Glasgow News
can be seen and plainly read at dis
lance of four miles. The length of each
letter is 40 feet, the total length Of the
line 1913 feet and the area covered by the
letters 1885 feet. The borders of the
bed are sown with white flowers; the
centers with red and purple. The effect
from distance is said to be very grand.

Renentant Lovers Awful Mistake.

the eastern American cities. The real
men in Hawaii have stood in the back

IN GOOD CONDITION.
The Miowera Takes Her First
Outing Since the Wreck.

The C. A. s! S. Miowera was taken
out OF fhe harbor at $50 O'Clock on Sat
urdsy morning by Pilot Lorensen on a
trial trip, second officer Cleveland was
in charge OF the vessel. Among those on
board were Capt. Wawn, and Chief
Engineers McNary and Armstrong Of the
Philadelphia and Champion respectively.
On getting outside, her course was direct
ed towards Diamond Head, and after
running for eight miles her course was
turned toward the Southwest for FIVE
miles The entire distance made BY the
Miowera was twenty miles, and during
the entire trip OF nearly two hours the
engines were never stopped until she
came to anchorage outside the harbor
Chief Engineer Smith OF the Miowera
was seen on Saturday afternoon, as soon
as the Miowera was locked at the o. 5.
s. Co.'S. wharf and said that the engines
worked without a hitch driving the
vessels run at an average Of twelve
knots. The new stern frame and the
rudder worked well, IN fact, everything
went very satisfactorily.
After receiving water, coal and pro-
visions, the Miowera will proceed to San
Francisco on Thursday or Friday of this
week. According to the Agents, she will
take neither cargo or passengers from
here.

THE REPLY.
Considered by the Council and
Forwarded to Willis.

Forwarded 10 Willis.
A special session of the Advisory
Council was called last Saturday
afternoon, to consider the reply Of
the Government to the communi-
cation of Minister Willis. The re-
ply, which was already drafted,
was laid before the Council for
suggestions. The reply is con-
else review of the case of the Gov
eminent in its historical and equit-
able, and more particularly, in its
legal aspects. 1t is, Of course, a
point blank refusal to comply with
the request of the American Minis
ter. A vote was taken in the Coun-
Gil, as matter of form. 1t is hard
ly necessary to state that the
Council was entirely unanimous.
Saturday evening the document
was thrown into its final form, the
work of copying not being COM
pleted until about 80 An. It was
then forwarded to Minister Willis
without delay, and the Corwin
sailed two hours later for San Fran
cisco.
The Government having reques-
ted Mr.. Willis to forward the reply
to the President of the United
States, it is considered to become
thereby an official communication
to him, and the correspondence
will therefore probably not be given
out for publication until after the
departure of the Miowera. This is
by many people as rather
a fine point, but there are some who
see it.
Immediately before his departure
from Washington Minister Thurston
fled a protest in the State Depart
ment en- behalf of the Hawaiian
Government. This protest is an
able and exhaustive statement of
the Hawaiian case in its legal as
poets. 1t will probably be given
out by the Government before long.
