VALUABLE MAPS E
Completion Of the United States Geologics
Survey In Three New England States.

Completion Of the United States Geological
Survey In Three New England States.
The complete typographical map Of
the state of Connecticut has been COM
pleted by the United States geological
survey, and the sheets having been com
bined in a single large map it is now
ready for distribution. The original sheets
are on a scale of an inch to the mile,
with 20 foot contours, but the reduction
is on a two inch scale, with 100 foot con-
tours. The cost Of the entire work was
about $4,000, of which the geological
survey bore half, and the state Of Con-
necticut the other half. The mapping
of the entire states of Connecticut, Mas
sachusetts and Rhode Island has now
been finished, and work during the past
year was pushed forward on the state of
New York, which is now under Herbert
NJ. Wilson and well under way.
These maps, which are the only ac-
curate and comprehensive Topographic
work done in the United States, are in
steady demand. They are too valuable
and expensive for promiscuous distribu-
ton like the average government docu-
ment, but they are given free to all who
apply for them. They are the basis for
nearly all of the development and i'm
provement schemes of the country where
accurate maps are required, and it is
from this point Of view that they are a
popular institution with the people. The
maps are given free of charge, but many
who want them and do not know this
much as 800 having been offered for a
single sectional sheet, the bidder proba-
bly, being sgreeably surprised on receiv-
ing the map and his money back as
well-Washington Post.

Frank Wilson attended tho Hemonway
Methodist church at Evanston Sunday
night and Tell asieep while the pastor,
Rev. @ r. Wilkinson, was preaching.
He dd not thoroughly awaken until
wednesday morning At $40 o'clock.
ORA Palmer and Gray worked over the
unconscious man the greater part Of
Sunday night without avail. When Will
son awoko, aside from q slight weakness
be said no felt ne well as ever.
Wilson Is about 25 years old and Is a
student In the Garrett Biblical institute,
Evanston. He Is Of slight build and Of
fair complexion, and Of late has been
complaining Of not feeling well. He and
Harry B0yes, another student, went TO
church together. Shortly after the pas
tor began speaking Wilson's eyes closed,
and his head dropped on his companions
shoulder. He was apparently sound
asleep. BOyes, knowing that Wilson had
not been feeling well and thinking that
on account Of the excessive heat In the
church he had become faint, did not at
tempt 10 arouse him. After the congre-
cation had passed ont at the close Of the
service he tried 20 awaken his compan-
ion. Repeated shakings seemed to make
no impression on the sleeper. and Dr..
Palmer, who was present. advised that
Wilson be carried out 20 the flesh air. He
was Immediately taken outside and given
a vigorous rubbing and restoratives adj
ininistered.
At one time during the operation Will
son appeared 10 be regaining conscious
ness, and opening his eyes said; What's
the matter? Where am r. Then he
vent heck into a comatose condition.
-eeing that the case was Of a serious ma
ture, DR.. Palmer called a cab, and the
Young man was taken to his room at DR..
Gray's home. Here both physicians con-
tinued to work over him. All Sunday
night wilson's respiration was low, but
regular, and his pulse at times was very
feeble. He came out Of his unconcious-
ness naturally and now appears to be
all right. Neither DR.. Gray nor DR..
Palmer can give any explanation Of Viii.
sons long sleep. They do not think that
any serious results will follow.-Chicago

their lives in despairing of the future OF
a western literature and in running The

men are laying down blocks of real Bra
lillian mahogany Of a peculiarly fine tex

than the woods ordinarily used for the

A Party ofDuck Hunters Found n Dog on

A big Newfoundland dog. in the last
stages Of starvation, was found one day
last week in the hold of the wrecked
tank steamer Gluckauff, which went
ashore east Of the Lone Hill life saving
station on the south side Of Long Island
in a binding snowstorm about a year
ago. A party of duck hunters from Say
vile clambered inside the wreck out Of
curiosity and saw the dog c%rouching on
one Of the boilers. The boiler was sur
rounded by water, and the dog was so
weak that he was unable to get off.
How the animal got there is not known,
but he must have been washed overheard
from some passing vessel, and while max
ing for the shore must have been carried
into n big hole that exists in the side of
the wreck. There he found Judgment on
the boiler. By means of ladders the duck
hunters succeeded in rescuing the ami
nal, and he was taken to a cabin on the
beach and fed. He is now in the posses
sion of Yinal Terry.

over the matter for five hours, Seheheld had

Hood was crossing Duck River five or SIX
miles above Columbia, and it will be seen
ct a glance that after sending his reserve

Wagner's Division to guard them, Schotield
had disposed of the main body of his army
on the theory that after crossing the river
Hood would march down the river bank to
make a junction with that part of his army

In making these dispositions, Schofield

the latter had left two divisions of S. d.
