Geology of Ascutney Mountain, Yer

The geology of Ascutney mountain,
VT is the subject of bulletin No. 2O9
now in press, United States Geological
Survey, by DR.. r. A. DAILY.
Mount Ascutney, in southeastern Yer
mont. though rising little more thon 5000
feet (915 meters) above sea level from the
floor of the deeply trenched master valley
of New England is, by reason of its iso-
lation, the most conspicuous elevation
seen by the traveller in going up the
Connecticut river The mountain has
been carved by erosion out of this part
of the once lofty Appalachian mountain
system, where the sedimentary rocks of
the range have been intruded by several
stocks and thick dkes of ingenious rock.
The drainage of the area is that of an
ancient mountain system. The general
form of the mountain was not essentially
affected by the iSe invasion of the glacial
period.
With this preliminary, the author en-
ters into an elaborate discussion, illus
trated by numerous figures and by many
analyses, of the nature of the sedimen-
tary and ancient crystalline and the ig-
neous rocks, and of the metamorphic re-
suits of their contact; and, as a conse-
quence of this examination, partly by the
induction of known facts, partly by the
deduction of certain conclusions which
are explanatory of considerable number
of related phenomena, he is led to the
view that there is, all round the earth.
and not far from its present surface, a
single fundamental magma of a compost
tion allied to basalt, which magma must
probably be regarded as molten only po-
tentially and to uncertain depth by the
local relief of pressure. All other rocks
may have been indirectly derived from
such a magma, through abyssal assimila-
tion or the various processes grouped un-
der the current term of magmatic differ
entiation. This statement brings us face
to face with other principal earth prob
lens. In the partial solution now attain
ed for these problems, the writer main
tains, that he has not yet met with insur.
mountable objections to the hypothesis
outlined, which may do something toward
removing difficulties felt by most students

English commercial circles have
been agitated for some time past over
the knowledge that Hon. Joseph
Chamberlain, home secretary for the
colonies, believes that the time has
come when Great Britain must adopt
preferential protective tariff to
bring the mother country and the col
onies closer together. Defeat of the
secretary's scheme was clearly fore
shadowed in an all-day's excited de-
bate in Parliament on Tuesday, and
disruption of the Balfour cabinet
seemed imminent but this the premier
himself prevented by an able and tact
full speech delivered on Wednesday, in
which he declared himself an earnest
adherent to free trade principles
though having an open mind as to
the best national policy of the future.

There is good deal to think about
in the following from the Montpelier
Journal AS the years go by, the
need of temperance work along prac-
tical lines will be more apparent in
Vermont The temperance enthu-
stats of the state have heretofore
bent all their energies to preventing
the source of all intemperance from
getting a hold in Vermont. Their
methods of procedure were more or
less impracticable and they failed in
consequence. The liquor traffic is
legalized and the way is clear for the
temperance societies to work for
their ideals along lines approved by
those who have been successful in
other states. Here in Vermont there
has been too much attention paid to
the law, and too little to the teaching
of the lessons of temperance and self
restraint"

Memorial day will endure. The sol

custom of honoring the memory of

is a good form of sentiment to inten.
sify each year the memory of those re-
lations which were the best part of
life. Let us not forget that our sor-

Rutland had 6S arrests for drunken
ness during the first month under
license, against four in the same
month year ago, and Burlington had
60 against seven. We hope it is true,
as claimed that the difference is
mainly due to the fact that the drunks
are all being arrested under the
license law.

Miss Bertha Clawsen, who is sup
ported in Osaka, Japan, by her home
church. at Angola, Ind. called the
Mikado's empire "dreadfuily heather
ish." She compared the missionary's
situation there with that of the boy
who goes out with his little red tin
pail to drain the ocean dry. Forty
thousand native Christians, forty mil
lion heather. But the Christians
stand for something. This year there
was a great exposition in Osaka and
the Christians erected an evangelistic
hall in front of its main entrance. The
emperor of Japan passed it. A
large wooden cross, painted red to
make 1t conspicuous. graced the roof
of the building. AS His Imperial Maj
esty passed by he lifted his eyes and
beheld the cross, everywhere the en-
blem of the religion despised and per-
secuted by his ancestors less than

There were not many speakers Of
the arraigning kind at the convention.
But notable one was that of Miss
Matte Pounds, who is the national
superintendent of the young peoples
department of the Christian Women's
Board of Mission. She had something
to say about the American society girl.
That ought to interest girls and their
parents, as well as young men.
THE modern American woman Is
an example in compound fractions"
said Mrs. Brown. Nerves seem to
be the prevailing disease of the Amer
lean woman of to-day. What she needs
is less courses for dinner. less bric-a-
brac to dust and 4 life of greater
simplicity, which will lead our women
to become home-makers. We are now
plunged into a splendid barbarity
which we call civilization.
MAN is not terrible social being,
but his wife is. She goes joyously
into the social whirl, which becomes
more and more matter of vulgar dis
play and ostentation, until the world
is now beginning to cry out against
it. She is absorbed in this Simon
says-thumbs-up' game of society.
This attitude has developed an ar
tificial habit of living that has caused
many women to become wage earners,
that she and the family may keep up
appearances 1t is far better to have
the girls at home with less of this vul-
gar display than to have them enter
into the cheap competition of business
life. Let the women who go into bust
ness life as temporary makeshift
keep out of it, so the men may be bet
ter paid for their work.
What we need is readjustment OF
life at this point. More simplicity is
what is needed. and unity of pur-
pose for our American women with
the great purposes of Jesus Christ.
Such an adjustment will settle all Of
the little things of life, and lead us on
greater and better things and life
that is worth the living"

Especial Correspondence


The convention of the Disciples OF

thusiasm and with glory. 1t was the
best year in the history of all the So
cieties, so far as money raised and
actual results accomplished. The at
tendance was large. the spirit of the
delegates in tune with the purposes
of the convention and the platform"

years, had many strong speakers.
The missionary interest is the very

all the speakers in some fashion
touched upon missionary effort. For
instance, one of the young students of

campaign in New York Bird S. Coler.

refused to be interviewed regarding
the situation and had the same stereo-

a remark to Mr.. Coler which caused
that gentleman to cease insisting on
his elimination from the political field.

THE LIVE STOCK EXPOSITION.
International Show at Chicago Most
Important Event.

Important Event.
The International Live Stock Ex-
position stands to-day a monument
bearing witness to the rapidity and
stability of American enterprise and
achievement. Scarcely four years ago
the newborn and fondly cherished
ideas of the Union Stock Yard and
Transit Co. bore fruit in the first In
ternational. At the last Exposition
IN December, 1902, there were gath
cred together In competition horses,
cattle, sheep and swine from nearly
every state In the Union and from
Canada and Europe: and these the
product of the most careful breeding
kpf many decades.
The International is a very potent
Vocational factor. None but the
1t perfect types of live stock are
hered together there, mostly win
ers from the expositions during the
receding season. From these the
breeder can formulate correct ideals.
This must result in greater uniformity
in live stock production. The questions
of correct types and how to produce
and maintain them, are all important
to-day. Hitherto there has been too
great diversity OF opinion along this
line
The necessity for more quality" in
live stock products is one of the i'm
portant questions of the day. BY
quality we mean even, thick-feshed
carcasses carrying the greatest pos

cass. The ability of the producer to
inspect animals on foot and then the
carcasses after dressing, furnishes
him with rare and impressive object
lessons.

breeders of America to have an oppor-
tunity annually of attending one of the
