4 Noble Little Fellow,

Some time since l read a story about
o boy whose parents were French HUI
guenots. They often talked to their
children of the glory of holding fast to
their faith and enduring persecution
nobly.
One day troop Of soldiers came to
the village to arrest all the Hugue-
nots. This boys mother and father
determined to escape. They loaded
their one little donkey with vegeta-
bles, hiding their little son among the
cabbage, and charging him to keep ST.
lent no matter what happened. The
mother, with basket Of carrots,
walked ahead : so they started off.
They were soon discovered by the SOL
diers, one Of whom asked their desti-
nation.
"To MARKET" answered the father.
The soldier plunged his sword into
the basket to sec if the cabbage were
TENDER" he said.
Not sound was heard and with a
hearty bon voyage the soldiers gallop-
ed off. After they had disappeared
from view the parents fastened to
open the basket. They found that
their son had been stabbed through
the thigh. He was suffering terribly,
and yet the brave boy had not uttered
a sound.-S. S. Visitor.

"A vessel laden with frozen meat
from New Zealand, owing to a collision
with an iceberg, was IL months in
reaching England. The meat, not

it pronounced it as tender as any they
had ever eaten.
During the French-Indian war Of
1854 the French offered bounty for
British scalps. In the same year a
bounty of 91OO each was offered by
the authorities of the several colonies.
In 1855 Massachusetts, granted a
bounty of 940 for every scalp of a
male Indian over 12 years Of age and
EGO each for the scalps of women and
children. In 1865 John Penn, grand
son Of William Penn, and governor Of
Pennsylvania, offered bounty of
$3.50 for every Indian buck" killed

The Boston Journal calls attention to
a recent prediction by Professor j. w.
Spencer, of Atlanta, to the effect that the
submerging of this continent Is only q
question of time. The professor is credi--
ted with the statement that in about
5000 years Chicago will be under water,
and that no more 999-year leases should
be made in New York, as at the end OF
that period the city will be afloat.
1t seems that Chicago is not satisfied
with this forecast, and one of her scien-
lists, Professor Colbert, takes issue with
his Atlanta brother. He says that the
interior of the earth is still hot aud mol
ten. The outside crust of the earth is
shrinking to fill up the spaces beneath it,
and if the elements were uniform the
change would not cause irregularity. 1t
is well-known fact that certain sections
of the earth are constantly being
raised or lowered, but hardly at the
rate Of two feet in century, which is
said to be the rate at which the New
Jersey coast is sinking. The Journal
says; ygiouo 10 . donnd,na ;rar0,oo exortad
by the frosts and rains which tends to
level off hills and fill up valleys. This
may be estimated to wear away land at
the rate of foot in about 5000 years.
Professor Colbert assumes 1900 feet as
the mean elevation of continent, and 1t
would take about 6,000,0O years to wear
this away, leaving out of all considera-
ton the possible work of the shri linking
and folding earthly crust. There Is about
per cent less water on the globe now than
there was In the earliest geologic times,
according to wise estimate. The at
mosphere is also very slowly growing
less. In short, Professor Colbert is Of
the opinion that in about 27, 900, 900 years
the present home of what we know OF
the human race will be uninhabitable
for any form of life now existing. And
this not taking into account the fact that
the sun may then have lost so much of
its life-glving heat as to preclude any
possibility Of life" =,
The statements of the Chicago man will
lakes and the seashore, but there are
people in Atlanta whose local pride will
cause them to stand Loyalty by their home
scientist, and this class will prefer to be-
lieve that our continent is slowly but
surely sinking into the unknown and
bottomless depths in the interior of the
earth. For their sake it is to be hoped
that Professor Spencer will come to the
front and smash Professor Colbert's fig
ures. When Atlanta has made the esti-
mate that New York will 60 down in
a thousand years, TO be followed by Chi
cago 1000 later, we cannot afford to sit
down quietly and allow a person from
the Windy City to maintain the prepos-
ferrous proposition that it will take at
least 100000 years to sink our contl-
nent. By all means, let us uphold the At
lanta theory and confound the western
scientists who attempt to dispute our con-
clusions.-AtLantI Constitution.
