 An Immense area of the northeastern states, extending south to New York, and then westward in an irregular line to Cincinnati and St. Louis, is almost wholly covered with a deposit of drift material, in which rocks of various sizes are imbedded, while other rocks, often of enormous size, lie upon the surface These blocks have been carefully studied by tine American geologists, and they present us with some very interesting facts. Not only are the distances from which they have been transported very great, but in very many cases they are found at greater elevation than the place from which they must have come
 Professor G, ,F, Wright found an enor nous accumulation of powders on a sandstone plateau in Monroe county, Pa. Many of these powders were gran ite and must have come either from the Adirondack mountains, 200 miles to the north. or from the Canadian highlands still farther away This accumulation of bowlders was 70 or so feet high, and it extended many miles, desoending into a deep valley ,000 feet below the plateau in nearly continuous line, forming part of the southern moraine of the great American ice sheet
 On the Kentucky hills, about 2 miles south of Cincinnati, oonglomerate bowl ders containing pebbles of red jasper can be traced toa limited outcropof thesame rock in Canada, to the north of Lake Huron, more than coo miles distant, and similar powders have been found at intervals over the whole intervening country In both these eases the blocks must have passed over intervening val leys and hills, the latter as high or near ly as high as the source whence the rocks were derived.
 Even more remarkable arc numerous powders of Heidelberg limestone on the summit of the Blue Ridge in Pennsyl- yania, which must have been brought from lodges at least 300 feet lower than the places upon which they now he The Blue Ridge itself shows remark able signs of glacial abrasion in well defined shoulder marking the southern limit of the ice las indicated also by heaps of drifts and erratics), 50 that Mir. Wright concludes that several hundred feet of the ridge have been worn away by the ice.
 The crownng example of powder transportation is, however, afforded by the blocks of light gray gneiss discover ed by Professor Hitchcock on the sum init of Mount Washington, over coco feet above sea level, and identified with Bethlehem gueiss, whose nearest outcrop is in Jefferson, several miles to thenorth- west and 3,000 or A,OO0 foet lower than Mount Washington.--A.

The Rev Mir Adams of Leominster was an eccentric character and had no hesitation in speaking his mind, oi- ther to congregation or to individuals He was about to exchange with a ne1gh- boring minister, a mild and inoffensiye man, who knew the bluntness of his disposition and said to him in advance:
 You will find some panes of glass broken in the pulpit window, and pos sibly you may suffer from the cold Tho cushion, too, is in bad condition, but beg of you not to say anything to my people about it. They are poor and disinclined to think of repairs. '
 Before Mr Adams left home that Sunday morning be filled a bag with rags and took it with him. When he had been in the pulpit few minutes the draft began to make itself felt, and he deliberately tool; handful of rags from his bag and stuffed them into the window The sermon dwelt upon the duties of congregations toward their ministers, and Ee soon became very an inated, and brought down both fists with tremendous force upon the pulpit cushion. The feathers scattered in ev- cry direction, but pausing only to ex- claim, Why, how theso feathers hy!n he proceeded with his discourse.
 He had fulfilled his brother minis ter's request of not addressing the con gregation directly on tho subject. but all the same he had effected his point. Next Sunday the window and cushions were found to be in excellent repair Youth Companion.

 Away back in the thirues congress pur- chased a spring over east of tho present site of Howard university. If IS now at the bottom of the unused distribut- ing reservoir. From it pipes were laid to the capitol, and in pond east of the building the water flowed and was held for the use of the early Solons of the hill. In 1876 tho reservoir was arched over and covered in, but there it is, and if congress has been neglectful of the city's interests as to a water supply, the reason is not hard to find Congress has its own private tap. Pipes run into the capitol, furnishing the boilers, cool CTS and water for cleaning purposes. There is an overflow pipe that runs into the pretty little grotto below the senate wing at one side of the main sidewalk and tinbles over the messy bank in miniature cascade. Washington Post,

business for them to do. They found
from carefully prepared estimates that
the farmers of one-tenth of the area Of

visors will take the seed and distribute
it and pay for it with county warrants

ties will secure themselves by taking
seed liens on the crops. 1t was stated
that the lowest cash price that the
dealers could quote and handle the
seed would be $3.50 per bushel, and
that if it was sold on time that the
losses would make it necessary to ask
