Stevens took him out to Pages

out and told him he had decided to

the administration, and when they
left Pages house Judge Weaver
asked Stevens if he didn't think he

and told Clark to walk that plank
and he walked it. This, Dockery
did not like and he said Jest wal

ANOTHER BAND CONCERT.
THE BAND BOYS ARE PREPARING FOR
Another Concert, Presidents Day, May 25ih
An Entirely New Program and One
That You will Certainly Enjoy.

Monday evening, May 18th, the FL
lensburg band will give its second
concert in the opera house. The boys
gave their first concert recently and
have reason to feel proud of it. But in
the coming event they expect to eclipse
any effort made heretofore in the wav
OF home talent entertainment. For
the past month the band has worked
almost every evening and the program
presented will be entirely new, not a
single selection of their music ever
having been presented here before.
In addition to this chorus of one hun.
dred voices, consisting of the very best
of our local talent will assist, which
with, vocal and instrumental solos and
a number of special features, will com.
bine to make it the best home talent
musicale ever given in our city, Mr..
Driscoll, the band director, says he has
no hesitancy in recommending his en-
tertainment and, by the work he has
accomplished here in the few months
he has been with us, we believe him a
most competent judge in his line. Thew
solicit, and we bespeak for them, your
liberal patronage.

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

BY local applications, as they cannot reach the
deceased portion Of the ear. There is only one
tional remedies. Deafness is caused by an in
famed condition OF the mucuous lining OF the
Eustichain Tube. When this tube gets infamed
you have rumbling sound or imperfect hear
ing and when it is entirely closed deafness is
the result and unless the inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to it's normal
condition, hearing will be destroyed forever:
nine cases out OF ten are caused by catarrh
which is nothing but the infiamed condition of
the mucuOuS surfaces.

KALAHARl POOLS.
Changes in Landscapes Due to AMI
maIs-BisOn TrniIs-Beaver Mead
From the London Spectator.

ONVS.
From the London Spectator.
The Berlin correspondent of the
Standard sends a precis of an inter-
esting lecture delivered before the
Geological Society of Berlin on the
water pools of the Kalahari desert.
These in most cases in great measure
owe their shape to the use made of
them by the larger animals, once so
numerous in that region. During the
rains the game scattered over the
whole country. But in the dry sea-
son, when the only water available
was found in these pools, the elephants,
rhinoceroses, and other large game, by
constantly wallowing in them and US
ing them as baths, made the sides steep
and circular, and thus gave a uni
form character to the pools. They also
carried off a quantity of the mud on
their bodies, and so helped to keep the
pans" deep and prevent them silt
ing up. Access to the pools was gener-
ally between two large rocks, the path
being worn into a deep roadway by the
animals which came to drink. Speak
ing of the effect thus made on the
landscape, the lecturer, DIR. PaSsarge,
notes that similar changes have been
caused by animals on the prairies.
He probably refers to the bison tracks
and sSads which still score the sur
face of tho North American prairies,
though almost every one of the crea-
lures which made them has persisted.
OF these Mr.. Paul Fountain says:
The plains are deeply scored with
tracks, even to this day, worn during
countless generations by the bisons.
which seem always to have followed
the same routes in their migrations
and wanderings. These tracks are
likely to endure, for the bison, with
wonderful sagacity, chose the easiest
and safest paths, avoiding barren boys
and crevices, so that travellers inva-
riably follow them. So deeply are
these tracks worn that, even if they
We're not kept fresh by the frequent
passage of horsemen and wagons
many years would elapse before they
were obliterated; indeed. they may
possibly be traceable forever"
But the most marked and widely
spread change in North American
landscape dill ectly due to animal agen-
cy remaining permanent after the au-
thors Of . have been almost entirely
destroyed. is to be seen in the beaver
meadow. These are found scatter
ed over the whole of the continent
north of New York and east of the
Rocky Mountains, and are referred to
IN ordinny business terms, as when,
for example, such land is put up for
sale. The beaver meadows were made
in two ways Some were formed
above the gradually silted up dams ="
which the beavers made wider every
year, but could not build up vertically
hey ond a certain point The other
beaver meadows were originally fiat
forest by the side of the streams on
which the beavers lived. They cut
down every tree on these flats to build
their dams or 10 feed on the bark, and
often cut canals across the ground.
They also cleared away all small tim
Der and bushes between the stumps,
that they might roll the logs to the
water Deer came and regularly fed
on these clearings, keeping the grass
fine, and thus the beaver meadow was
formed.
