Brita,n slowly washinr away.

The British board of photographers
have made a report which is startling
in some of it's details. Tt appears that
after a long series Of observations it has
been ascertained that the little Thames
is carrying ID, 000, 900 cubic feet Of
British soil into the sea annually. In
order to get an idea of what the above
figures really mean, let us imagine q
huge mass of stone 100 feet in width,
100 feet long and 100 feet high Then
let MS imagine that IA of these immense
cubes are yearly fioated out to sea from
the British mainland. The Thames ba-
sin has, however, an area of 6, 100
square miles. The immense amount of
solid matter alluded to above is taken
grain by grain from this large extent of
surface, so that it only wears away the
surface of the basin as a whole at the
rate of one-eight hundredth part of an
inch each year. AT the rate of wear and
tear mentioned in the opening para
graph Of this article one would natural
ly suppose that within a few hundred
years the whole Of the main British isle
would be deposited at the bottom of the
ocean, but owing to the vast area from
which that II, 600. 600 cubic feet Of SOL
i'd matter is gathered the basin Of the
Thames has only been lowered one sin.
gle inch since the Norman conquest.
Some Of the readers of this will nc
doubt be disappointed TO find that the
rate of erosion lis SO slow and will de.
clare thatth head line conveys q differ,
emit impression. The island ID. however,
slowly washing away" for the stats.
tician of the photographic board say
that it will take 3, 900, 900 years mors
70 reduce Britain 10 the level OF the sea

STORIES OF DR.. HOLMES.
a Young Woman Who Didn't Like His
%a Literary Taste.

a Young Woman Who Didn't Like His
@ Literary Taste.
The story is recalled of q young Vir-
ginia country girl dining in Boston
some years ago, in the days when DIR.
Holmes went to dinners. Seated next
to her was q homely, little old gentle
man whose name she did not catch. He
began to talk with her and asked her
how she passed her time in the country.
'sOh, weread, my father and IL she
said. ... I
stAnd what do you read?'' asked the
little man. lJ...ts ia. 81
swell, the 'Autocrat of the Break
fast Table for one thing, she answer,
ed. s
II should think you would not care
to read that more han once, " remark
ed the little old man with a sign OF dis
appointment in his tones.
''My father and / may not be judges
of literature, '''>said Miss Virginia airi-
" and with. a faint accent OF scorn,
''but when we get to the end Of the
'Autocrat' we generally turn back to
the beginning and read it over again.
The little old man smiled at this and
was disposed to be friendly, but Miss
Virginia was so d~ispleased with his tone
concerning the "Autocrat' that she met
him with chilly Indifference
As soon as the guests went into the
drawing room her hostess Whispered
responsibility to her:
"You didn't seem to lind Dr.. Holmes
8 interesting as / hoped"
''Dr. Holmes!' shrieked Miss Virgin
: Ia. There were a tableau and IN expla-
nation.
Another story of Holmes wit is told.
One day old DIR. Peabody was to meet
him at a certain place. The venerable
professor rode in a carriage. When he
got there, he was, met by Hclmes, who
had walked. Near by was a statue Of
Eurydice. And Holmes said:
"Ah, you ride, ] seep'
Capital, capitalr' cried Peabody.
That night he went back home and
said to his wife:
Holmes got off a good joke today. y
His wife asked him what ir was.
"Why, Twas to meet him down at
the statue of Eufydice, and when I ar
rived, he said quite happily, @Oh, You
came in a carriageF i.
And then the genial professor wonder
cd why his wife didn't laugh.

The electric locomotive used in hauling freight trains through the Belt Line tun- nel of the Baltimore & Ohio railroad demonstrated Monday that it's drawing power far exceeds the expectations of its builders. Forty -four loaded freight cars three steam locomotives, not working, which had been used to haul the heavy train on the surface, were coupled to the electric giant at the tunnel entrance and pulled up the heavy grade of the tunnel, @ speed of twelve miles an hour being de- veloped. The total weight of the train was 1 1900 tons. The drawbar pull exerted in starting this unusually heavy load was more than 5O,OOO pounds and continued throughout the trip at more than 4O,OOO pounds. Baltimore & Ohio officials claim that no steam locomotive has ever appro- ached this record.

Worcester Salt, the best and purest salt manufactured, which is on exhibition at the Stafford Springs Fair, is made from brine that comes from artesian wells at Silver Springs, N. Y. The process of manufacture by the company is such that the grains are the very finest cubes of salt made, being non-hardening. The salt is absolutely pure and does not contain any foreign substances of any kind. It is used by creameries almost universally all over the United States.
