Buried Landscapes.

One Of the most curious results of
geological explorations, says the
Youths Companion. is the discovery OF
''buried landscapes" by which is meanl
parts of the former face of the earth
now covered under later deposits, but
yet retaining so many OF their original
features that the geologist can ideally
reconstruct the scenes that would have
been presented to the eye OF man ii
he had been present among them.
Sometimes buried landscapes exist il
countries now densely inhabited. Re
cent investigation has shown that one
lies beneath the region in England
known as CharwOod Forest. The rocky
projections seen there are the peaks and
iarcteS of Il buried mountain chain be-
longing to the old red sandstone period.
Several different phases in the history
Of this landscape have been traced.
At one time it contained salt lakes and
desert expanses. In its modern form
it is pastoral region. with barren,
stony tracts and rocky eminences
where the ancient mountains project
through the soil.
The Hocking sentinel. [volume] (Logan, Ohio) 1871-1906, 1903-12-31
IN GENERAL.

The civil service commission, during
the year. gave 654 examinations to 49,,
62I applicants, resulting in 39,646 ap-
poiutments, against 2.S94 ill the preced-
ing year.
Fourteen hundred steerage passengers
on the steamship Blucher ragged in Il
panic in the hold during furious gale
in midocean. They were held in check
only by the efforts of two priests and
four of the Blucher's armed officers.
Grand Master Charles c. Pavey of the
Ohio Grand Lodge of the Independent
Order of Odd Fellows has issued cir
cuiar to the effect that Jan. 10. 1904, all
saloonkeepers, bartenders or professional
gamblers shall either quit the order or
those occupations. In the event of a
refusal to cease such callings they will
be tried and expelled.
Last summer, by express direction of
President Roosevelt, the Department Of
Justice ordered the Federal authorities
to prohibit gambling at Nome and other
Alaskan towns. Chatting under this .e-
straint, the sporting element of Nome is
erecting a casino on the ice of Behring
Sea, three miles from shore. The build
ing viii contain gambling halls, thea
ter. saloor, dancing pavilion and hotel.

An Evil in Food the Law Should
Reach.


In reference to the use of alum bak-
ing powders Prof. Schweitzer, Of the
State University Of Missouri, says:
"The deleterious effects Of alum and
the soluble salts of alumina upon the
human system, even when used In
small quantities, are too well known
to need relating; their use in baking
powder is dangerous, and should be re-
stricted."
The effects of the continuous use Of
alum baking powders are thus summed
up In u medical publication:
"Alum taken into the stomach re-
tards the digestion of the food.
1T is an irritant which infiames and
irritates the stomach and intestinal
canal.
1T is an astringent and tends to con-
stipate the bowels, which interferes
with digestion.
1T renders the albumen of the food
partially insoluble, and therefore takes
away from its nutritive value.
1T is absorbed into the blood, which
1t tends to thicken and coagulate. The
free flow of the blood through the or
gans of the heart is thus retarded.
Its continued absorption into the
system causes some forms of nervous
prostrations and many of those affec-
tions of the nerves from which both
women and men suffer
Fourteen grains Of alum have
caused the death of child. Larger
doses have frequently resulted fatally
in the case of adults.
NO drug so powerful and deadly, no
matter In what proportions it may be
employed, can safely be used in any ar
ticle of food"

From poor Methodist circuit rider.
preaching Sunday after Sunday 10 small
country congregations in Pike and other
southern Indiana counties, to man
whose wealth is roughly estimated at
S5OO,OOO, with the prospect of quad
rupling this sum within two years, is the
record Rev. James NJ. Stafford of Pc
tcrsburg has made in two years through
inventions he wrought out of fertile
brain while travelling.
Mr.. Stafford is only 81 years of age,
but he is the owner of seven labor-saving
devices. six of which have been patented
at Washington. and for each of which he
has been offered and refused fortune.
The minister is not only enjoying his
new prosperity, but is doing much good
with the money which has come to him
so suddenly. His first purchase was a
200acre farm, which he gave to his aged
father, and soon after he bought the
steam ferry at Petersburg, and gave that
also to his aged parent.
1t is told rs q tradition in Pike County
that the elder Stafford was disappointed
when his son made choice of the minis
try as a profession and urged him to re-
consider his determination, saying, in
effect, that a man who was as bright in
figures as his son could make his mark
in some other business. The young man
replied that God would bless the deserv-
ing in the ministerial field and that,
though he would not neglect his profess
sion, he did not intend to abandon GER
tain plans he had formed simply because
he was about to enter the ministry.
