(says the Sheffield Daily Telegraph
by Mr.. Abner Froggart, who is the
owner Of "Ringstones," a farm on the
moors between Hayfeld and Glossop.
While cutting a trench for the purpose
of draining his land, Mr.. Froggart
came across a large stone chair, which
is believed to have been used by the
Druids, who had q temple here A
still more valuable find was made
close by in the shape of q very fine
stone Celtic AK, in an excellent state
Of preservation. Indeed. it is consid-

Historic Gibraltar.

The rock of Gibraltar has lorg been
known to all the civilized world. The
ancients called 1t Calpe, and with
Abyia, now Ceuta, the northern point
Of Africa, about fifteen miles across
the strait, 1t formed the pillars Of
Hercules" long believed to be the
western end Of the world. 1t was first
fortified in I'll, when the Saracens In
vaded Spain under the command Of
Tarik, Ibu-Zeyad, after whom the rock
was called Gebel-Tarik, or Hin of Ta-
rik, later corrupted into Gibraltar. 1t
was the scene Of many sieges and bat
ties. In 1904 the combined Dutch and
English fleets captured it from tho
Spanish, EngIand's right being con-
frmed by treaty nine years later

Formation Of Niagara Gorge.

In 1912 the Government issued q
very carefully prepared map of the
Niagara Falls territory, writes a cor
respondent in the Baltimore Herald.
In 1891 it issued a second or compare
tive map, by which it was shown that
the falls had receded 204 feet. Though
it is claimed that the river is compare
lively young, scientists insist that it
must have taken at least 1000 years
for 1t to recede from the commence
ment of the precipice at Lake Ontarior
Still others claim that that 1000 year,

hand, and that moments distraction
spelt ruin. Ere he could recover the
Daredevil had pitched crashing into
the harbor wall.
With n horrIhed scream Jean rushed
down the shore steps which led to the
quay below, Andrew following close
at her heels As they ran they saw
Jim thrown forward by the shock AS
he tried to regain his feet the boom
swung round, and, striking him on
the head, swept him over into the
water.
"Oh, Andrew, save him! save him!
Hes drowning" cried the girl, her
eyes starting In terror and her face
asly pale.
For a moment Jim's head was visible
above the troubled waters. then he
sank beneath the foam.
"Saye him! For Gods sake, save
hlmw cried Jean again In agony,
clutchng at Andrews arm.
Andrew looked down a the seethlng
cauldron beneath him and hesltated.
Then suddenly gripping Jean by both
hands, he shouted In her ear, For
your sake, JEAN" and next instant he
had flung aside his sou-wester and
leapt off the quay.
As the girl watched, she saw An
drew's head rise again above the sur
face. He was swimming on his back,
and held the unconscious Jim by the
shoulders. It was soon evident that
the fight was to be a hard one. Utter
| ly worn out 10y twenty-four hours con-
slant work at sea, and weighed down
| by his sodden clothes, Andrew could
hardly keep Jim's head and his own
above water. Jim, stunned by the
blow from the boom, lay a helpless
weight in his arms. Yet he struggled
on desperately, ard inch by inch won
his way toward the quaysde. Jean,
seeing how matters stood hastily
climbed down the perpendicular iron
ladder to the waters edge.
"Here, Andrew, here" she called in
q high, clear voice.
Andrew heard and redoubled his ef-
forts. In a few minutes he had al.
most reached the ladder. but his
strength was now exhausted. With
a last violent struggle he thrust Jim's
body towards the girl Leaning out
as far as she could she caught Jim by
the collar Of his jersey. Then An
drew's hold gave way, and with q
choking gasp he sank beneath the
water.
Help! Help! Help shrieked Jean
but the help came too late. She her
self was powerless. With one hanC
she chung to the iron rung of the lad
der; with the other she held fast t
Jlms collar. When help arrived jim
was soon lifted up. Warm drinks
and a warm bed brought him back t,
life again; but it was not until tn,
morning that Andrews body was re
covered.

The production of oxygen and by
drogen on an industrial scale by the
decomposition of water with electro
lytic apparatus in Germany has led
to the suggestion that hydrogen thus
produced may find q wide field Of en-
ployment as a lighting agent. 1t is
now used for initiating military bal
looms. For lighting purposes 1t is
compressed In steel cylinders. With
q proper burner 1t is said to be a cheap
er illuminant than acetylene, the rela-
tive cost for equal illuminating power
being as twenty-five for hydrogen tc
4 dfty-nine for acetylene.

must have suffered Violent commissions
about the period when the vein was
formed. 1t extends under the sea a
long distance, with strata Of sand

Biologists say that the island must
therefore at one time have been larg-

Southern consumption, taken direct
from interior Of the cotton belt, L.
576, 1873, against l,54O,803, making
the crop Of the United States for
1900 and 1901 amount to 1O,3S3, 1922
bales, against 2,436,4lG last year
and H. ,274,94O the year before.
MIR. Hester has made his usual in .
vestigation into the consumption Of
every cotton mill in the South, in
Guiding woollen mill that have used
cotton, and the receipts record shows
total of 1,628,933 bales, but of
this 44, 1913 bales were taken from
ports included in port receipts. This
total shows that the mills Of the
South have used up 23,8l0 bales
more than during 1899 1890, against
a consumption by the North of 1885,
00O.'
MIR. Hester also gives the actual
production of Oklahoms, 1l0,O03
bales and Missouri, rs, ,704. His re-
port on tho cotton crop for the diff
ferent States is as follows:
North Carolina, including Ken
tucky and Virginia, $4,000 bales;
South Carolina. 011,O00; Georgia,
1,205,O00; Alabama, 100000; Flo
rida, $4,000; Mississippi, 05O,O00;
Louisiana, 10000; Arkansas, 1872,
600; Tennessee, including Oklaho-
ma, Missouri, Kansas and Utah,
$4,000; Texas, $500, 900. Total
crop 1888, 900 bales.
Mr.. Hester's full report, which will
be issued, will contain interesting
facts in relation to the continued in
crease in the spindles Of Southern
mills and to new mills now building,
some of which will come into opera
Lion during the new commercial year
He will also give interesting facts
showing that, with an excess IN bales
over last year Of 047, 7,006, the South
obtained for the crop an increase of
$13O, 1872, 720; tina value of this years
crop having reached the enormous
total of S405, 567, $40 more than had
ever before been obtained for any
cotton crop.
