Tho Sierra Neyatlas.

DIR. Turner, who has made the geolo-
gy Of the Sierra Nevada long time
study, has published monograph in
which he asserts, with plausible reason
ing, that the many kinds Of rock char
acterizing that formation have been
formed in part by deposition beneath
the sea, and i'll part by intrusion as ig-
neous masses, also by eruption from
volcanoes, and portions Of them have
been subsequently metamorphosed.
While the southern portion Of the range
is composed of granite, he finds that the
central and northern part, west Of longi-
tude l20 degrees, consists prevailingly
Of schists, these having been produced
by intense metamorphism Of both an
cient sediments and igneous rocks, and
it is in these schists, chiefly though not
solely, that the auriferous quartz veins
occur.
Further, the trend Of the bonds of al
tered sediments and Of their schistose
structure is generally from northwest
to southeast, parallel to the trend Of the
range, but great masses Of granite and
other igneous rocks have been intruded
among the schists, forming irregular
bodies, which interrupt the regular
structure and which are generally bor-
dered each by zone Of greater meta
morphism. These schists, with their as
sociated igDeous masses, form the older
Of the two great groups Of rocks recog-
nized in the Sierra Nevada.

IL Is a high compliment 10 the strength
and the influence OF the order of Patrons
Of Husbandry in the East that this ns-
tional organization Is again coming To
New England. Its twenty-ninth annual
meeting Is 10 be held at Worcester, be-
ginning on Wednesday, Nov. l3, and
continuing some ten days, or until its
business Is completed. This Is the
third time the meeting has been called In
New England, once In Boston, and two
years ago at Concord, \. III.
The National Grange membership con-
sists Of the Masters of the several State
Oranges and their wives. The organi-
zation is made up OF a strong, sound,
conservative, yet progressive element,
who are powerful In promoting good
citizenship among the rural population
of the country. The election OF officers
10 serve for the next two years occurs AT
this meeting, which will give an unusual
interest 20 this occasion.
The members of the order In Maine
should, and no doubt viii, avail them
selves of this favorable opportunity for
meeting with the national organization,
and will attend In large numbers Es-
pecially low rates have been secured on
the railroads, and every needed arrange
ment for accommodation of those attend
ing has been made at Worcester. Par
ticulars concerning these matters, to-
gether with the order ot exercises at the
meeting, are in the hands of State Mas

ample time for preparation. Masss-
chusetts is 4 goodly state 10 visit. Wor-
cester Is an active, thriving up-to-date

HE WAS FOND OF OYSTERS.
And Having the Chance BargsInsd For g
Full square Meal Of Them.
THE END

And Having the Chance Bargnlned FOR .
Full square Meal Of Them.
There was a man who lived in the far
west he had never eaten any oysters
excep, canned ones, and after eating
those he said:
II would much rather eat the cans.
They taste just the same and are cheap
er."
He was western business man, but
one night his chief competitor held up
straight flush. so the man became
bankrupt and went 20 live with his un-
Gle in Baltimore. The first night he was
there his uncle gave him "a dozen
raws " The man took up the first one
on his fork and tasted it gingerly Then
a look Of perfect bliss came over his
face At that moment he half believed
himself in heaven. But his eye fell up
on his uncle and he knew that that
could not be--for he knew his uncle
very well.
From that day the man lived for
nothing bat oysters He threw away the
little cabinet where he formerly kept
his whisky and put an icebox in its
place. He would wake up IN the night
murmuring, saddle rocks, and when
he admired woman very much, he
would call her "a perfect blue point. "
But he never could get As many oysters
as he wanted. There was always some
thing which interfered with his eating
his fill. So one day he slipped away
from his friends and went down % an
oyster boat He hailed the captain and
asked
How much will you charge for as
many oysters as | can eat?'
The captain looked at him, and saw
that he was not large man, aud that
outwardly he bore no resemblance 10 "a
cold storage warehouse.
"Ono dollar and half, " he said.
The man gave the captain the money,
and sat down at table. Then the cap
tain opened oysters for him. All the
morning the captain opened oysters,
and a great crowd Of people gathered
about 10 watch the man eat and % bet
on the result. Atnoon the captain faint
ed from oyerexertion, and the first mate
took his place As the dusk Of early
evening was creeping over the water
the man arose from his seat, and with
the help Of admiring bystanders stag
gered across the heaps Of shells and van
ished in the crowd, which opened for
him To pass.
Then the captain opened his eyes and
gazed wildly about the deck. He rose,
and leaning weakly against a chair back
surveyed the scattered remnants Of his
stock in trade
Il am ruined, ruined, ruined" he
said hoarsely.
You have a dollar and a half on
which to begin life again, said the
first mate. my wages for today amount
to one dollar and half Begin life
honestly by paying your debts. ="
The man from the far west died that
evening, but he died happy. His last
words We're:

sleep--on an oyster bed. Chicago

wealthy and therefore it would not

When this gentleman opened the box
in his desk the next morning, the gem
was gone In his excitement he took no
note Of the little grains left behind, nor
did he notice the slight odor Of the re-
leased gas, which should have attracted
his attention

Maiden lane who had forwarded it 70

made, which caused everything 70 be-

MODERN sopY ARMoR.
Quite Lot Of II Exists and In Worn In
Spite Of the Time.

The experiments with bullet proof
coats aud material which have been
conducted here and abroad have called
attention to the fact that mail protec
tion did not entirely pass away with
the shelving of the shield and cuirass.
Many English officers still wear par
tial armor when serving on foreign sta
tions.
The commonest and most usual type
Of these projections consists of fine but
beautifully tempered single chains, in-
closed in soft leather, which run along
the shoulders, down the outer side Of
the arms, and over certain parts Of the
body. These can either Q sewed into q
particular tunic, or they can be adjusted
separately and put ON like harness.
Hundreds upon hundreds Of these sets
are sold The most valuable Of all
chains in connection with accouterments
are those which guard the head, and in
cases where the regulation cap or he'll
met is not sufficiently protected in this
way specially made chains are sewed
inside the same and covered by the lin
ing.
Only those who have been in actual
conflict know how valuable all the
chains mentioned are in minimizing the
effects of sword cuts. As regards pro-
lection both from sword and bullet the
general belief nowadays seems TO be in
thoroughly tanned leather, and great
quantities are made for officers, the IA
vorite pattern-said 10 be the invention
Of the late Sir Richard Burton-being
that which forms not too prominent
ridge down the center Of the chest.
Many stories are told by officers Of bull
lots which have been aver,ed in some do
gree by these leather tunics, soine of
which are lined with woven steel wire.
OF course none Of these things are sup
posed 90 be an absolute protection. but
only sort of palliative.
A London gunsmith, who sells great

Under the conditions stated, we would
let the relation in price decide in part
which 10 purchase. the cottonseed meal
or the linseed meal. The two meals
supply about the same quantity ofdigest-
ible matter per ton, the difference being
that 4 larger proportion OF that from
cottouseed meal, consists Of protein (ni-
trogenous compounds) than is the case
with linseed meal. Where, therefore, a
supplement for the rough folders of the
farm is desired, 10 be fed, as Is so often
the case, in connection with corn meal,
we should choose the cottonseed meal In
preference 10 the linseed. az the same
price. Two other considerations are
somewhat in favor Of the cottonseed
meal AS against the other, viz; IL sup
niles more value TO the manure heap,
and its free use does not have the effect
Of causing a soft butter, of which there
appears TO be some danger from using
linseed meal freely. In general then,
we believe the cottonseed meal Is the
more economical food at the same price
But where ground wheat Is to be
freely fed, so that large proportion OF
linseed will not be necessary In the
ration, this meal would be more economi-
cal. If il is materially the cheaper, II 1t
costs for instance 81 or 80 per ton less
than the cottonseed meal. 1t is to be
said in favor of the linseed meal that It's
