Some Famous Rocking Stone.

During the years lSS9-90 Professor Henry
Beals Of the British Royal society was in
the United States making a special search
for rocking stones or balanced bowl
ders." But few of these geological won
ders are known to exist, their scarcity as
we'll as the curious manner in which they
have been left poised upon mountain tops
and other eminences makes them objects OF
uncommon interest. The professors visit
to this country was made mainly to prora
that these curiously balanced stones, =.
many instances weighing hundreds oftons,
were carried ON floating icebergs during
the epoch known as the glacial period''
and that the subsequent melting of these
immense icefelds 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 to weigh 25 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 cratic
bowlder in existence in this OF any other
country. 1t is IS feet high and 10 feet long
and is estimated to weigh not less than
10000 tons-Philadelph Press.

Myths About the Rather.

John G. Moore of Otay, Cal, who has
observed the rattlesnake in many regions
destroys anumber of traditions about them
For example, it has always been held that
he is magnanimous enemy and will give
a sort of warning by rattling three times
before he strikes Mr.. Moore says: Il have
seen rattlesnake in July lie in the shade
and rattle steadily for an hour. He was
either amusing himself or perhaps taking
a music lesson, for he did not see me, and
am sure he had no intention of biting him
self When was in Texas, have known
rattlesnake to strike horse without thu
least note of warning. Another picturesqu,
error regarding him." continues Mr.. Moore
lis the supposition that when spelling fol
a fight lie coils himself up like doughnul
or ballard on board man-of-war. Tn,
snake simply gathers himself ina number o.
irregularfolds like a series of superimposed
SIS. He can at best strike but three-fourth'
of his own length, and rarely accomplishes
that in actual warfare. New York Trib

A Nature Ordains.

In the wilderness about the great lakes
the Indians are tame and good natured,
and they are glad to get job as hunters
and guides for parties who are going into
the woods. So much of their wild ma
ture remains with them that they prefer
life in the open air at small pay to steady
and remunerative employment in towns.
Occasionally one Of them will be found
who has had liberal education, this be-
ing especially true among the Ojibways, a

Hedges For Shady Places.

It is often desirable to have hedges along
lines where large trees are already growing.
Evergreens are wholly untitled for these
situations. Only deciduous shrubs can be
employed. Among the best of these are
the various varieties of privet. They stand
dry ground better than almost anything
else. 1t is not so much the shade which
Injuries the hedges in these situations as it
is the drying of the ground by the roots of
the trees. When we imagine the enormous
amount of moisture transpiring from thou
sands of leaves of trees, we can readily see
how dry the ground must be which has to
supply this moisture. But those who have
practical experience understand this With
out even thought of the philosophy in
volyed.-Meehan's Monthly

conference on the 14th to discuss the

Among the federated trades there is
