Maine Mountain Disappears.

According to a Caribou. Maine. dis
patch, woodsmen recently brought
news that Bald mountain. small,
steep hill In the T1boque valley, only
a few miles from the New Brunswick
line, has disappeared. In its place a
small lake now exists. 1t is believed
the mountain dropped out of sight dur
ing the earthquake of March 21st and
that the tremor which then shook New
England really had its birth in the
Maine woods.
Bald mountain was an odd-shaped
cone with extremely steep sides and
was seldom explored. The general be-
lief is that it was the crater of an
extinct volcano. Around the base of
the mountain small hot springs once
existed and the rock formation in the
neighborhood bears evidence Of vol
canic origin.

AMERICAN TRACT. SOCIETY.
Work Reported at the Annual Meeting
in WAshinQton.

The annual meeting of the American
Tract Society was held in the Church
of the Covenant at Washington. March
goth, Justice Brewer presided and
made brief address setting forth the
general work of the Tract Society,
both in the home and foreign field. He
emphasized the necessity of this work
as well as showing that there was no
other agency SO well equipped to fur
nish Christian literature in the many
language and dialects.
Rev. Judson Swift reported the
years work, and William II. Taft, sec
retary Of war. delivered an address
which gave an account of the progress
in the Philippines, relating particular
ly to education and Christianity.
The secretary of the society said
that eighty-nine new publications had
been added to the list during the year
These were in English, Polish. .Bohe-
mian, German. Hungarian, Spanish.
Swedish and Italian, and the total
number of distinct periodicals added
was 1S0 making the grand total of
publications issued since the organiza-
tion of the society, including volumes,
tracts and periodicals, 749 9.315,572
The tract society furnishes all or
the Spanish language and during the
year has distributed in the American
colonies upward of 100000 pages and
the total for the year in the Spanish
speaking countries is 5,3l2,000 pages.
Six colporteurs are laboring in Cuba.
The work among the Mormons in
Utah is of intense interest. The dis
tribution of Christian literature by
colporteur wagons and colporteurs
reaches thousands of homes, placing
wholesale reading in the hands of the
youth.
The society has expended a total of
three-fourths of a million dollars in
creating and circulating Christian YER
nacular literature at the foreign mis-
sion stations. The great need of the
foreign field at the present is a large
increase of Christian literature Many
of the missionaries state that the edu-
cation of the youth at the mission
schools will be largely in vain unless
sufficient amount of Christian and
wholesome literature is provided for
them upon their graduation This is
particularly true of India and Japan.
