sneciInen of a particular microscopic or
ganism, which happened to flourish some
where or other in the north or soutn
Atlantic ocean at some depth or other
from the surface.
Suppose that absolutely nothing fur
ther was known as to the Whereabouts
of this individual object, it might, for
ANYTHING we could tell, lie beneath a
mighty ice foe in the arctic regions; II
might be miles deep in the Caribbean
sea: it might be baskiug on the surface
in the equatorial regions; it might be
tossed in the surf on the shores of st.
Helena; it might be floating at the
mouth of the Amazon; it might be on
the Cape of Good Hope OF amid the
Antarctic icebergs.
Would any reasonable man who de-
sired to obtain that unique and extraor-
binary specimen for his collection i'm
agine that if he went down TO the coast
of Cornwall and lifted "a single drop from
the Atlantic he would have such incon-
ceivably good fortune as to lind In IT
this rare diatom of which but single
individual existed throughout the mil
lions of cubic miles of water which COM
pose that mighty ocean? Of course the
mere statement of such u case is suffi-
Gent to show its absurdity. But the
improbability that the ardent naturalist
would secure the prize in the way have
described is not one whit greater than
the improbability that even if there were
a central sun it should lie within the
domain of our scrutiny.-Sir Robert
Ball in Fortnightly Review.

Sensible Talk.

The following is from an address on geneI-
al topics by Secretary of Agriculture Morton
at Chicago several weeks ago Among other
things, he said:
The American farmer has foes tn contend
v it'll. They are not the natural foes-not the
weevil in wheat, not the murrain in cattle
nor the cholera in swine, nor the drouth, nor
the chinch-bug. The most insiiious destruc-
tive foe to the farmer is the professional"
flrmer-the '.promOter' of 'granges" and sal
liances." who-for political purpose -.fdrms
the farmer! 1t is true that American farm life
the Union there is too little Of social pleasure
and festivity, and sometimes | think it would
have been better if our lands had been sur
veyed 80 as to bring the owners into villages,
r ther than TO make them half mile apart,
by quarter sections. A re-sulvey in The new
States and terri oIies is not impossible, by
which country villages may be established
and thus more chain and felicity given to The
home life of the people, by closer aud more
neighborly associations. But my hope for
Lno future Oh the IaTHleF Is not Daseu upon
gregariousness. He will not succeed better
by forming oranges and alliances-which, gen
orally, seek to attend TO some other business
than farming, and frequently propose to run
railroads and banks, aud even to establish
new systems of coinage for the government
than he will by individual investigation of
economic questions. Humanity generally,
aud the farmers particularly, has no enemy
equal, in efficiency for evil, to ignorance.
Therefore, each tiller of the soil, each farmer,
should for himself, individually, Investigate
the various methods of cultivating land, of
producing good crops, and of securing remun
erative markets.

destroyed by fire Tuesday night. The prop
erly belonged to Mr.. Frederick Taft, of Balti

in colonial times. The fire originated from
defective flue near the roof. Most of the fur
niture was saved.

er of the new edifice. The church is to be a

and frame, the cost being about $4,000.
Ground was broken October 18th, and the
church will be dedicated May 21, 1894.

wide streets and all the modern improvements.

and if numerous surveyors are any indication
of the road coming. then we may soon ex
meet to see the tracks laid and the road in op

Our people are awakening TO the necessity
of better roads and it is Confidently expected
that the legislature, which meets in January,
will provide FIR some comprehensive system
of road building which will give us good roads
