against natural foes and for combats for

are in most cases enormously developed,
insomuch that i'll Informed natura]ists
have suggested that near relationship
must exist between the primates and
the carnivora. AS matter of fact, these
formidable teeth have nothing to do
with Authorization, but are as purely
weapons of war as are the bayonet and
the maxim gun. In practically every
emergency demanding unusual energy,
obstjnacy and courage they come into
play.
In every conflict with the world, the

Mountains.

There used to be held, in accordance
with Murchison's we'll known geolog-
ical views, the general theory that
mountains were mainly due to cracks
which took place in the surface Of the
earth in remote periods, but this idea is
no longer entertained by scientific men.
As to the form Of mountains that which
is known as table mountain finds the
best example, curiously enough, at the
cape Of Good Hope, a mountain, it is
believed, due not to my action or phe-
nomeno1 Of upheaval, but to the sink
ing of the surrounding districts or ter
ritory. Why these peculiarly defined
areas did not sink was owing, it is
thought, to the probable fact that the
ground under them cooled before the
rest of the section, and thus the table
mountain had the earlier foundation
and has long retained it's place. There
would always be denudation, however.
though proportionate with it's surround
ings, and therefore, owing to this fact
Of being higher at the start, it still keeps
to its approximate elevation.

A QUEER EPITAPH.

~
I'm Memory of Two Boys Who Thought
T)>ey Ate Mushrooms.
Piscataway is one of the oldest towns
in New Jersey. 1t was founded in 1868
and was intended to be the capital Of
the colony, but it did not grow, while
its rivals, New Brunswick, Railway and
Eliza beth, became thriving villages. At
present there is little to interest the cas-
ual visitor to the sleepy village, but that
little is good Of it's kind.
There is old Mr.. Mundy, the village
wheelwright, who at 80 is still fine
shot with gun or rife. twenty-five
years ago he accompanied New York
merchant on hunting trip to the far
west. and since then not a year has
passed without their taking hunting
trip to the west or south. Old as these
cronies are, they cannot make up their
minds to forego their hunting. Then
there is the old cider mill whose RAM
shack]e appearance bellies the purity and
strength of the app]ejack resting in it's
dark cellar. Finally, there is the ceme-
terry Of the old Episcopal church, TIE
first house of worship erected in the
place. In response to inquiries the other
day the sexton, who holds also the Offices
of gravedjgger and roadmaster said:
"Well, there might be some interest,"
ing gravestones there, and then again
there mightn't. They don't interest me.
There is one old brown stone which has
o. Sc ~
ed to throw it away, but the minister
wouldn't let me. That might be inter-
esting to you.'
lis there any inscription on it?''
mo, there isn't. It is just covered
with words from top to bottom-no
poetry, no nothing-just words. -
The stone was found easily, although
partly overgrown with moss and myrtle.
After much cleaning the following in
ecription was made out:
