With the compliments Of the Com.
missioners of the Wisconsin Geolog-
cial and Natural History Survey we
have received handsome copy of the
compilation of the Building and Orn-
amental Stones of Wisconsin. The
work contains 544 pages including
many fine engravings. The character
and location of these rock are given
with colored pictures of specimens
after they are polished. We are sur
prised at the excellent showing OF
Wisconsin's quarries. Some of the
finest specimens of granite are found
in this state; granite OF beautiful
grain, susceptible of high degree OF
polish, A mum Der of the great
monuments to our soldiers in the
National Cemeteries are made OF
Wisconsin granite as is also the sar-
cophagus in General Grants tomb
The sandstones of Wisconsin are also
celebrated as an excellent and pretty
building material, as are also several
kinds of limestone. The rock strata
of this locality-St. Croix and Pierce
counties-are the Niagara limestone
above the Trenton and that above the
st. Peters sandstone which lies above
Lower Magnetism limestone. After
the st. Peters sandstone was laid
down over this area the conditions of
deposition changed from shallow to
deep sea. On the bottom of this
deeper sea were deposited the sedi-
ments which comprise the Trenton
and Galena limestone formations.
The ST. Peters sandstone preserved
but scanty remains of the life Of that
time, but in the Trenton rocks there
are the remains of abundant fauna.
This Trenton limestone is found
here only Gaping the bluffs of St.
Peters sandstone. The five lowest
beds only OF this Trenton limestone
are of use for building. These beds
are from to II inches thick.

The Leonlds.

The group of meteors which we en-
countered this month is known as the
Leonids. 1t pays us a visit once in 80
years. Their course has been reckon
ed with considerable accuracy because
they have somewhat regular orbit.
The orbit is in the shape Of an ellipSe.
This orbit has an axis of nearly two
billion miles. The breadth Of this
meteor stream is between 100,0 900
miles and 100000 miles. In 1866 it
took five hours for the earth to go
through it moving at a rate Of 1000
miles an hour. In 1867 when the
earth returned to the crossroads, the
meteor stream was still going by.
Even in 1868 the stream had not gone
by completely. The air alone pro-
tects us from destruction from mete-
ors--rocks. A meteor's velocity at
the instant of its striking the earth
is from $4,000 to 100000 feet per sec
ond. These meteors that strike the
atm osphere with such velocity and
momentum burn themselves into
puffs of gas a few feet above our
heads. Occasionally one of more than
ordinary size passes through the at
mosphere and strikes the earth. In
passing through the air the outside of
such meteors is melted, forming a
vitreous crust. frequently the in
tense heat occasioned by friction of
the air with the meteoric substance
causes the mass to explode, probably
from the gases generated by the heat,
the fragments sometimes dissipating
into gases by further contact with the
air with accelerated speed, some
times reaching the ground without
effusion.

A farmers institute here seems to
be dependent upon the interest, or
the want Of 1t. manifested by those
whom it is intended to benefit. If
they want an institute there must be
some concerted action to secure 1t, a
part of which would relate to obtain
ing a sufficient amount OF funds for
hall room. This would seem to be Of
easy attalnmentif the farmers want
ed the institute. A little matter like
this suggests to farmers the need OF
some sort of an organiza ton. They
are hamperedin many ways because
of difficulty Of initiating important
matters that concern them generally

Pres. Brier's lecture at the M. e..
church Saturday evening was one Of
pleasing interest. A good house re-
sponded to the announcement and
were instructively entertained. The
lecture dealt mainly with London,
the first city In population, the mart
of the world. In a conversational
manner Mr.. Brler gave his friends
and neighbors his impressions of many
of the notable places in the great
city; places Of historic renown; re-
markable buildings; incidents Of in
terest connected with them; charac-
teristics Of conveyances for travel;
peculiar traits Of the people, with
many incidents of conversation with
the denizens. Pres. Brier spoke in
high praise of the officials who con-
trolled the intricate and manifold
machinery Of municipal affairs in this
city OF swarming millions. Their eff
ficiency was manifest in uniform good
order with Characteristic civility and
remarkable good nature. The lecture
was supplemented with stereoscopic
illustrations.

The supreme court has rendered a
decision to the effect that telephone,
telegraph and electric wire companies
must get the consent of property
owners to erect poles in front of their
property. The court holds that the
street is private property, subject
only to the easement of the public for
public uses, and that the city has no
right to grant lis use for public pur-
poses without the consent of the
owner. This rule would apply in still
stronger force in the country. In
municipalities the streets are usually
laid out and lots sold extending only
to the streets and not to the center,
whereas deeds to country lands are
limited TO the center Of the road,
which appropriates the road to the
ownership Of the land, except for
travel

The former confederate major-gen-
eral and representative and senator

TO hear this distinguished Sou therner,
and no one was disappointed.
Gen. Gordon announced that he
came TO talk of war, but that his sub
ject was peace, and he handled bis
subject, "The Last Days OF the Con-
federacy," in so mastery a manner
that his mission TO help cement the
ties Of North and South cannot be
otherwise than a success. He is an
orator of the highest type, and his ad.
dress was series OF person y ! reminis-
cences and experiences clothed in the
most deiightiul rhetoric, besides an
analysis Of the motives of several OF
the movements in which his corps
par vicipated. The discourse was
bright and interesting, filed with
humorous references, and breathing
Of Che purest patriotic feryor. Gen
Gordon $ references to the devotion OF
the women of the North and South
the yalor Of the boys in blue and gray
and the flag of cur new united country
were particularly beautiful.

A great deal has been claimed for
the breed in dairy cows. The claims
have been shown to be extravagant.
There is no doubt but what some
cows are better than others, but the
treatment has more to do with results
than is generally considered. The
Michigan experiment station has done
a good work in careful trial OF COM
mon cows to determine results of the
best methods of treatment. Twenty
nine cows were bought. picked up
here and there, common and mixed
breeds. Full accounts were kept, and
for the year they had made an aver
age Of 1908 pounds Of milk to the
cow and 304 so pounds OF butter to the
COW. The best COW Of the lot made
4o1 pennds of butter during the year.
