He got few small tin canisters made
to fit the bore Of the cannon and filled
them with variety Of tree, shrub and
grass seeds. The cannon was loaded
in the usual way and fired at the rock
from all sides.
The little canisters on striking the
rock burst, scattering the seeds in all
directions. Many seeds were lost, but
many more fell into the lodges or
cracks where there was little moss or

"sPARTAcus."
Th. Author. story of How He Came

The Authors Story of How He Came
to Write 1t.
A writer in the Lewiston Journal
who interviewed Rev. Elijah Kellogg
says:
When asked if he had written any
declarations besides "Spartacus to the
Gladiators," "RegulusA to the Cartha-
ginians," "Virginius to the Roman Ar
my" and "Pericles to the People," he
replied that he had written 'Icilius,"
but that it had never been published.
Then he asked the writer if he had
ever heard how "Spartacus" came to
be written, and when told that he had
never heard an authentic statement
concerning it Mr.. kellogg said:
During my first year in Andover
Theological seminary we were required
to write original declamations and de-
claim them before an audience. A COM
mittee of three seniors criticised the
speaker publicly, and Professor Parke
performed the same duty privately.
always dreaded to face an audience
and especially to be criticised publicly,
and SO thought l would write some
thing that would so interest them in
the story Of it that the critics would
forget to notice the errors, and so I
wrote 'Spartacus.' When had finish
ed declaiming it, the professor asked
the committee if they had any sugges-
lions to offer, and they said they had
not, but Professor Parke told me pri-
vately that there were errors that
might be mentioned, but that he was
glad l had made departure from the
old custom of declaiming nothing but
sermons and moral disquisitions and
had given them some rhetoric"
So the author of "Spartacus" was the
first declaimer of it. Little did he
think that he was the first of thou.

This Man Knew a Steamboat When
He Saw One.
The agent of one of the osean steam
ship lines, says the Chicago Tribune,
told the following story of ST. Louis
man who got into New York the day
after the maiden arrival of a great
liner:
After gazing at the vessel from the
pier the st. Louisan said to the man at
the gangplank:
Purity good sized steamboat
"Shes a liner, ocean liner" was the
lofty reply.
"Shes purity high up, amt she?"
Ocean liners have to be. But when
she is under way she doesn't look so
high"
"Her chimneys amt very high,
though"
you mean her tunnels. No; they
never make them high for liners"
Hinges on 'em?"
"Never heard of hinges on funnel"
"How does she get under the
bridget"
what bridgew
"Why, any bridge. Steamboats, out
our way have hinges on their chin
neys, and when they come to the
bridges over the river they lower the
chimneys. and she scoots under like
she was creased"
The man at the gangplank observed
the st. Louis man with lofty indiffer-
ence.
"She amt got any warehouses on
her sides nor none at her stern" re-
marked the st. Louis man after he had
made further inspection.
Liners have propellers," said the
man at the gangplank, and his nose
turned up visibly.
"Well I'll bet she can't run. 1t takes
two wheels and a bow like an arrow
