An ingenious theory for the estima
ton of the time of the various geo
logical periods has been propounded l;y
an engineer whose work on western
railroads takes him into primitive
country. He says that in one great de-
pressio. in Wyoming the trees have
been recording the rnte of erosion CO
the slopes for about 500 years so accu-
rately that the data to be obtained by
a careful study OF them will be n fac.
tor of extreme Importance in enabling
scientists to convert geological time
into gears. While he has not yet had
time to collect those data properly, he
makes the rough deduction that, &C.
cording to their records the pliocene
and pleistocene periods would repre-
sent about 100000 years. and that.
on this basis, the cenizoic time would
be about 100000 years. This would
mean that all geological time from the
beginning of the Cambrian epoch
would be 1000. 900 years.

SENATOR QUAYs casa is to be voted
on or before April Is. The track
has been cleared for that date All
speeches on the subject will have
been delivered by that time AMI the
Senate will act up to its privilege of
being the judge of the qualification
OF its own members. Governor
Stone and Colonel Quay's friends con-
tend that G state is entitled all the
time to it's full representation in the
United States Senate so that the
state may have voice in voting on
the important questions that from
time to time come before the body.
and therefore he should he admitted
and should long ago have been seat
ed. They contend that when Leg
islature fails to elect Senator va
cancy is created and it becomes the
duty Of the Governor to fill the va
caney till the ne15 meeting of the
Legislature. The opponents CT that
argue that a Governor of
a state has no right to appoint Sen
ator unless Ser atorial seat becomes
during the vacancy Of the Leg
islature. Around these two points
debate has been going on all winter.

A MEMORY OF eRook FARM.

Mawthorne In Pillow Fight With
S Two Girls.
/ do not. recollect Hawthorne's talk
ing much at the table. says Mrs. Ora
Gannett Sedgwick In The Atlantic in
"a Girl Of sixteen at Brook Farm"
Indeed he was very taciturn man.
One day, tired of seeing him sitting
immovable on the sofa In the hall, as
was learning some verses to recite at
the evening class for recitation formed
by Charles A. Dana, daringly took
my book, pushed it into his hands and
said, "Wfll you hear my poetry. Mr..
Hawthorne? He gave me a sidelong
glance from his very shy eyes. took
the book and most kindly heard me.
After that he was on the sofa every
week to hear me recite.
He was one evening alone in the hall.
sitting on a chair at the farther end.
when my roommate, Ellen Slade. and
myself were going up stairs. She whis-
pered to me, Lets throw the sofa pill
lows at Mr.. Hawthorne" Reaching
over the banisters, We each took q
cushion and threw IT. Quick as n flash
he put out his hand, seized a broom
that was hanging near him. warded on
our cushions and threw them back
with sure aim. As fast as we could
throw them at him he returned them
with effect. hitting US every time. while
we could hit only the broom. He must
have been very quick in his movements.
Through 1t all not a word was spoken.
We laughed snd laughed. and his eyes
shone and twlnkled like stars with
laughter. Wonderful eyes they were.
and when anything witty was said l
always looked quickly Mt Mr.. Haw-
thorne. for his dark eyes lighted up
us If flames were suddenly kindled be-
hind them. and then the smile came
down to his lips.
We laughed merrily and went of to
bed, vanqutshed. without a word. l
suppose Mr.. HawthOrne's face must
have worn that wonderful smile. which
always seemed suddenly kindled he
hind his eyes. twinkled there for n
second and then ran swiftly over his
intensely grave face.

WOOD PULP POULTICES.
Their Ready Application Is OSly On
of Their Many Advantages.

Their Ready Application Is Osly One
of Their Many Advantages.
United States naval surgeon advo-
Gates the substitution of wood pulp
sheets for flaXsced meal, ETC.. in max
ing poultices. he cuts q sheet Of the
pulp to size approximate to the sur
face to be covered, soaks the sheet In
hot water until It has become thor
Oughly softened. then wrinS5 it out
very lightly and applies. The wool
pulp sheet will absorb and hold from
four to five times its weight of water
and, since heat and moisture are the
desidernta in poultices. this furnishes
them in simple. cleanly form. No cloths
are needed. no cooking, no stirring and
spreading on cloth-just n soaking in
hot water. And the incest part is the
total absence of the mess Inevitable in
making 1axseed meal poultices. al
though there is. too. great economy OF
time and trouble. 1t Is sometimes ad-
visable to put piece of oiled muslin
over the sheet to help retain the heat
and moisture.
When the poultice begins to get
cold. take it of. wiring out the water
and soak 1t again in hot water. and SO
on indefinitely. The surgeon has used
the same sheet OF pulp wood for two
days poulticing. in the hands OF an
ignorant man st that. his instructions
to him being Ito soak the plaster in
hot water whenever 1t got cold and put
1t on again" By the way. every physi
clan wEo has had the annoyance and
trouble of being compelled to leave the
all important matter of poI!ticing to an
ignorant person win appreciate-a way
that will allow no loophnle Tor mistakes
