what Drumlins Are.

Professor Barton of the Institute Of
Technology gave q 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 a 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 1t came to be piled into
hills has never yet been discovered. The
professor is at the present time making
this the subject Of special study, and
he hopes to solve the mystery before he
concludes the work Of making map Of
the state of Massachusetts,, showing the
location of the 1 800 drumlins within it's
borders,--Boston Transcript.

A wooden Leg and a Dog.

A wooden leg and dog nearly changed
the course of European history. In 1866,
just prior to the war between Prussia
and Denmark, Bismarck was staying at
Biarritz. One morning, accompanied
by huge dog, he was walking along o
road which runs along q cliff, protected
by low wall, when he met an old
French naval captain with wooden
leg, but powerfully built, and of a quick
temper. The dog became unduly atten-
tive to the captains leg, and the French
man struck at the animal with the butt
of his fishing rod. Bismarck used a
round German oath, and the sailor fol-
lowed with nautical emphasis. From
words the two came to blows, and in a
few minutes Bismarck found that, strong
as he was, the Frenchman was lifting
him bodily upon the top Of the sea wall.
Another moment and he would have
been in the sea below, and the whole
course of history would have been
changed. At the critical moment came
help--by the irony Of fate-in the shape
of an equerry of Napoleon, who rescued
the German from his terrible opponent
If that equerry could only have known
for what he mad saved him!-San Fran.

As he came out into the street, some-
thing Of her evident desire not to be
seen convinced him that the retreating
figure was that of his wife. He followed
quickly, and as soon as she noticed this
she broke into r1n.
Now, Tom realized that it was risky
thing to run after and overtake flying
woman, especially if she turned out to
be the person of whom he was in search.
But Tom was desperate, and he took the
risk.
Seeing that she could not get away,
she stopped at lamppost, leaning
against it, and as he came up to her he
heard the shuddering cry:
ooh, Tomr'
Lillian" he said hoarsely, grasping
her wrist. 'what is the meaning of this?
Have you gone crazyF'
She leaned against the lamppost and
wept.
Come" he said briefly, and without
resistance she accompanied him in 81
lence, broken only by her sobs, back to
the house.
The girl let them in and at once sur
missed by the grief of her mistress that
the friend who was i'll had died.
Tom led his wife into their sitting room,
and there she sank into chair, covering
her face with her hands. She saw by
his stern demeanor that he suspected her
guilt
He closed the door, then standing be-
fore her said sternly;
Lillian, want an explanation"

"Don't look at me like that or / shall

said. II could not face you after losing

"Was it not for $200T' she asked in
surprise.

He sat down on the chair and laughed.

kissing her, 'the check is but piece of

until the graphite was hard enough to

To Overthrow European Influence.


A dispatch from Topeka says that a
petition, signed by the state officers of
Kansas, has been sent to Governor Stone
ct Missouri, asking him to call GEN.
yention to consider measures of relief
for the south and west. The dispatch
gives the following as the substance of
the petition:
In view Of the distressing financial condi-
ton OF the country, and especially its most
productive portion, which will be further az
gravated if congress shall do nothing to relieve
1t or shall Internationally repeal the Sherman
law, we would ask you to call convention of
all the governors of all the states west of the
Mississippi and south of the Ohio river and on
aparallel line Herewith, and also that such
governors appoint In addition u number OF
delegates equal to the representation of their
states in congress
The objects of this convention to be to con-
slider what shall be done for mutual relief Of
the people, for the cultivation of commercial
relations between them, and such other action
as may c0nduce to the material welfare and
prosperity OF the communities involved, looking
especially to arranging for such trade relations
as may render this section free of dependence
upon the eastern section of the United States
in business affairs.
We consider the present an suspicious time
for concerted movement TO bring the people
Of the west and south into such united action
as will protect and foster interests which are
naturally allied, and to free these sections from
unjust and ruinOus nominations of a section
which is largely influenced by European poll.
