No professor is more kindly remem'
bered by the "boys" who graduated from
Wesleyan university generation ago
than Prof. Johnston, or Uncle John.
ME-" as he was more Familiarity known.
Besides having profound scientific
mind far in advance of his time, he had
keen relish for a good joke, whether
on himself or another. In order to aid
the students OF geology in grasping the
essential distinction between the various
classes Of rock, he requested them 10
bring In specimens and Place them ON
his desk before the recitation began.
One day q student brought in piece
of brick, secured from building being
erected near the college, and placed II
on the tnble among the other specimens.
"Uncle Johnnie" came In few mo-
ments later, and, apparently unsuspict-
ing the hoax, began the recitation ms
usual by picking up the specimens, one
ut time, naming them. and rcmarking
their peculinrities. "Thls, gentlemen,
Ii n piece Of sandstone; this is granite;
while this, somewhat similar In It's for
nation, Is quartz. And this" taking
up the last bit on the table and gravely
surveying the expectant class over the
rim OF bis glasses, sis a piece Of impu'
dence. "-lIarper's Magazine.

swectnes, and Light.

The clergyman of one Of the fashion
able New York churches some time ago
told a society woman in his congrega'
ton that he would like her to take pare
in the mission work among the young
connected with the church.
"But detest children" she pro.
tested.
"All the more reason why you should
do It," was the answer.
She was finally persuaded to take o
class In the sewing school. At the first
meeting the little girls gathered about
her, expecting to be told story or
something Of that sort.
II am not going to amuse you" was
the frank announcement that she made.
"but will try to teach you some things
that you ought to know. In the first
place you are not clean, any OF you, an
II YOU come to the next meeting SMELL
ing us you do now won't come again"
Some time after friend met the lady
and asked:
show is your mission class getting
on?
"Famously," was the answer
"Strange to say, those children seem 10
be fond of me-"
"Have you succeeded In instituting
any religion into their young minds"
az have not ti;ed," laughed the other;
"but / have taught them how to blow
their noses and how to enter and leaya
n room without disarranging the furni-
ture and carrying the door with them"

NoRwArs CLIMATE.
II 70 Curiously Affected By the Oceai
Currents.

IL 70 Cautiously Anoctoo " tno ocess
Currents.
Upon the eastern side Of the American
continent, the latitude Of central Nor
way shows us only uninhabitable re-
glons Of ice and snow, where explorers
have persisted In the vain attempt to I'M
ravel the mysteries Of the north. Even
the center OF England is rs far north M
our inhospitable Labrador. The mar.
velous ocean current called the Gulf
Stream IL the only known cause OF this
wonderful condition. Its waters,
charged with the heat Of the tropics,
inpinge upon the northern shores OF
western Europe and make them warm
and productive and the homes Of mighty
and prosperous peoples. A somewhat
similar current In the Pacific ocean
makes Alaska green and beautiful
wherever the snow deigns to allow por-
tions Of the earth to be subjected to its
influence.
The influence Of the currents OF warm
water causes some strange things in
Norway itself. Upon the western slope
of the central mountain range, the cli-
mate Is much more mild ind the vegeta-
ton more luxuriant than upon the east
ern, hut what Is more remarkable Is the
fact that in some particulars the re-
suits OF differences In latitude seem to
be reversed. The central portions OF the
coast are skirted with islands, while
there are but few In the far north. On
this account the Gulf Stream, flowing
north OF Scotland. strikes directly
against the mainland toward the North
Cape, but Is broken and diverted by the
islands further south. At the North
cape, and for 100 or more miles south,
we found almost no snow at IN eleva-
ton OF 1000 feet above tie sen, while
300 or 400 miles further south the shores
were covered with snow during the first
half OF July nearly down to the waters
edge, while the precipitous sides and
broad summit of the North cape were
decked with o great variety OF wild
flowers Of marvellous brilliancy; and
we found the beautiful European quail'
nesting upon these bold and nightles'
heights that stand as the furthest out
post toward the unknown polar re
gions. We counted between 20 and u
varieties OF plants in full bloom there
on the 10th OF July, Is Of which are no'
| found in America.-Cor. Country Gen

untary liquidation-a total OF 4s,
against the organization OF IS
new banks, making n net
loss of 20. He recommended
that the chattel mortgage, general
mortgage and collection laws be
amended and urged that days OF
grace" be abolished. 1.-THE Express
Money Order" was the principal ques-
ton discussed during the afternoon.

DEATH IN THE STORM.
Z Disastrous Hurricane Sweeps Along the
Georgia Coast.

Georgia Coast.
ATLANTA, Ga, Sept ga disastrous
hurricane swcpt over Brunswick and
along the Georgia coast yesterday
morning. Mcager reports have been
received from the storm center, which
say that the hurricane was ono OF ter
rife force and that great damage and
great loss OF life resulted. All the
wires along the coast are down and up
10 o latc hour communication has
not been restored to brunswick, Sa'
vannah or Charleston.
II. N. Merrill, Of the Atlanta Tele-
phone Co., reached Atlanta late last
night from brunswick and says that
the city OF Brunswick Is badly dam
aged, and that three big vessels were
sunk In tho brunswick harbor. Tho
latter were blown away from their
moorinys The waves Of the see
and the wind destroyed much OF the
brunswick shipping interests. Many
houses in the suburbs were blown
away and the water rushed through
the streets In torrents, carrying prop
erty, household furniture and valu
a lcs toward the harbor. The follow
ing persons are known to be killed
William Daniels, Abel Davis, John JET
fcrson and baby. A careful estimate
places the damage Mt 100000. Many
persons were dangerously injured.
Tho storm in Savannah was equally
disastrous and several persons were
killed in that city. 1t was n worse
storm thau that of August, 1903, II moi
the worst in the memory OF those liv
ing here. Relatives Of persons known te
be at sea are frantic in their endeavor'
10 receive news from them. Early II
the storm there were reports that there
had been loss OF life in the city. The
money loss, 1t is estimated, will reach
eGD0 600 10 $500 GOO.
