WRITE TO YOUR SENATOR.

1t will take a two-thirds vote of the
senate to ratify the treaty, which really
means an offensive and defensive alli-
ance. The senators will take great
heed of expressions from the people on
the ACCESSIBILITY of entering into an
alliance of this kind. Action will prob
ably be taken in a few days. Those
DESTROYS of protesting or endorsing the
proposition should lose no time in
writing to their senators.

The American people are familiar
with the fact that there is now before
the United States, for ratification,
treaty of peace with England. Few,
however, have read the articles OF the
proposed treaty. In England and other
countries this treaty is being widely
discussed. Why should not Americans
who are supposed to govern theln-
selves, read and discuss the matter anu
then write to their senator's at wash
ington telling them what they THINK
about it? For that reason we publish
the entire proposition. 1t is as follows'
The United States of America ana
her majesty, the Queen of the united
Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland

bitration, have appointed for that pur-
pose as their respective plenipoten-
tiaries the President of the United

Britain and Ireland, and the Right

Geology.

The scientific beginnings of geology
are said to have been treated of in
Chinese works long before the Chris
tian era. Some degree of geological
information is displayed in the book of
job, several passages of which have
been held to indicate an exact knowl-
edge of the different strata of the earth.
The science is treated OF by Aristotle,
Pliny and Theophrastus. Geology did
not become what may be called an
exact science until the present century.
