You would do so but you know it

Such miseries are daily decreasing.
People are learning they can be

Learning the merit of Doan's Oint-

HOW TO EXPLORE.
Aosr> oE the Little Things That Tell
the GeOIOGist the History OF
the Country.

An explorer in new country makes
most wonderful discoveries by observ-
ing very small facts.
He comes to the mouth of river. II
the water is milk-white he knows that
it comes from glacier direct, yet he
may see the glacerbearing mountains
and find the water quite clear. That
means that the river has lake in its
course which has filtered the water and
taken out all the mud.
If the river is muddy red it comes
from a country of clay; if it is clear
brown It comes from swamp or forest.
If the water is hard" when he washes
his hand that means country of lime
stone. .
By the gravel he knows the exact
rocks which are drained by the river.
Speckled rocks, such as granite, tell
story of probable mountain ranges,
even if none are in sight; and by the
speckles the explorer can tell whether
the mountain is brand new and jagged
or old and worn.
By the pebbles it is quite easy, with
little practice, to read off the history
of country, to guess at its age. Flints
mean a chalk formation ironsand is
the best possible. indication of gold;
lavas and basalts mean volcanic action.
Terraces along the coast mean that
it is rising by jumps, as may be seen in
Norway and Chill.
Where the rivers cut deep between
sheer walls on their course from the
mountains to the sea, that means that
there is no rainfall Modern shells on
top of high mountains mean that the
range has only recently been lifted out
of the sea.
Hummocky mountains or plains are
sure to he made of granite; caves are
nearly always in limestone; sink holes
mean water RUNNING beneath.-Stray
Stories.
