Images Of the past grow pale IN the
memory of the old, but the aged skipper
gave me at least one recollection of col
ors distinguishably bright enough to
detain the attention. He sat beside me
on Thames hillside far below bridges.
The river was wide and spreading
breast of water hereabout, streaming in
a long blue reach under the pure sum-
mer sky. All that passed was within
easy view, to the trembling silver of the
reflected sails, to the CLEAN of a gilt dog
vane over the ripping folds of house
flag, to the figure of seaman jockeying
a flying jibboom end, to the burning
sun spark in the bright brass pinnacle
hood
While we sat talking-'tis years
since-a tall bulk came towing into
sight l thought it was the hull of a
frigate. My aged companion stared
eagerly through his glasses. When
broadside on, the hull showed as noble
old relic The sparkling bravery of her
day still fingered, but dimly, in the
gilded holdings and carvings round
about her quarter galleries and stern.
Her figurehead was a milk white angel
with lifted arm in posture of tri-
umphant bugling, but the trumpet was
gone! Time had robbed the old sheer
hulk of that power and poetry of silent
music. Her hawser holes had a look Of
human nostrils, large with disdain. 1t
was clear she was being towed down
river for some ignoble purpose-to be
made coal hulk of, perhaps, or her
destination might have been the echoing
yard of the marine knacker, and she
clearly knew it and felt it, for ships are
intelligences though they may not be
launched with immortal souls, and it is
true of them, as the Films do swear,
that they converse as they lay side by
side IN dock when the darkness falls
and the shipkeeper SHORES with drink,
but in language you must be Finn tc
understand.
"There goes an old frigate," said 1.
"Not she," cried my venerable COM
panion in the raised and broken tones
of time and breathing short with a sud.
den agitation Of memory. "That's the
old Families. Don't l know her?''
Here he seemed to breathe shorter yet

IN THE COOKING COAL FIELD.

The Intelligencer learns that General
Manager Frank J.. Hearne, Of the Rlp-
erside Iron Works, OF this city, acting
for that concern; has made another i'm
portant purchase Of coklng coal lands
in the western Pennsylvania field. Last
month Mr.. Hearne bought 40 acres at
High House, six miles south OF Union
town, Pa.
The purchase made this week 10 q
larger one, the number OF acres tigurins
In the deal being between 100 and 500.
The land is located on the Reaston
branch OF the Pittsburgh, Virginia &
Charleston railroad. In Fayette count,
not far from the High House purchase.
The land Is TO be developed In the near
future, the product to be usel in the
new Riverside bl-product coting plant
In Beuwood. The price OF the land per
acre 10 said to have been 1900.
In connection with the Hearne pur-
chase Of coal territory near Uniontown,
there have been persistent rrmors that
there will soon be an actual start made
on the old Wheeling & connellsville
railroad project. Without such q road,
the coal for the Riverside's coking plant
would come to Wheeling on a long-haul
either by the Baltimore & Ohio or
Pennsylvania.

during the past year. They have COM
prised such important centers as osh-
kosh. Wis, Rock Island, Ill, and Wash
lngton, D. c.. The Oshkosh meeting
extended through the fourth Sunday.
The Turner hall was rented and the
masses gathered in great numbers. One
Presbyterian church received upwards
OF sixty new communicates the Sunday
following the meetings. There were sew
en- churches in the union.
At Geneseo, Ill, the union included
the evangelical association, Presbyter-
ian, Methodist. Congregational and
Lutheran. Mr.. Ostrom says that he has
preached in more Baptist churches In
Southern Wisconsin than those OF any
other denomination, because they are
large buildings.
AT Rock Island, Ill, a rink was pro-
cured to seat 5000 people. and the
weather was so hot that the mayor OF
the city ordered the fire department to
shower the roof OF the building with
water eac: night before the meeting. In
that city Mr.. Hills sang and Mr.. Os-

singing, led by Mr.. Hills, and assisted
by Mr.. E. R. Billiard.

Land Always Moving.
From Pearson's Weekly.

FROM Pearson's Weekly.
In British Columbia, at the junction of
the Thompson river with the Fraser there
Is to be seen an extraordinary phenomenon.
1t was first discovered by the engineers
who built the Canadian Pacific railway
across the Rocky mountains
The whole side of the mountain opposite
to the point where the rivers Join is in a
perpetual state of motion. Probably caused
by the subterranean action of deep-seated
springs of water or from the influence of
the tremendous force eXerted by the COM
bjLed volumes Of the two great rivers, all
the soil of the mountain slope is sliding
gradually but surely into the Fraser, de-
scending at an even rate of about eight
feet per annum.
This singular landslide resembles one of
the Alpine glaciers, which are annually
found to have moved a certain short dis
tance-establishing perhaps only a record
or Few inches movement each year, but
always, always travelling unhaltingly on,
slowly, but without cessation.
In this particular case earth takes the
place of Ice. Big blocks of clay and sand,
loose stones and boulders and strange tow
ers of gravel packed into solid shapes are
constantly to be seen toppling over and
falling on each other-those behind pushing
what Is IN front of them into the river,
whose swift current sweeps away every
thing bsfore 1t.
