A MIGHTY PREACHER.

John Ross Was Strong of Arm and
d Good Fisher.
John Ross was a Scotch minister
who fourished in the early part of the
seventeenth century. Tales Of his won
derful deeds are told to this day in his
former parish of Blair At one time
the reverend gentleman walked to
Mause, distance of about three miles,
for the purpose Of seeing certain
farmer and If possible inducing him to
come to church, where he had never
been. He found him fishing in the riv-
er and asked to be allowed to have a
cast II never lend my rod to any
body" said the farmer t'But," replied
the minister, II have come all the way
cast" The farmer, who was very
strong man and had never been beaten
In fist fight, offered to fight for it.
"All right" said the minister, and he
gave the farmer such a mauling that
he was glad to give up his rod. But it
was different kind of fishing that the
minister had come for He asked the
farmer to keep the rod and conduct
him to his house at Mause. When they
arrived the minister said, "Now, you
80 on your knees and pray" telling
him that he would not leave till he did
80.
So the farmer fell on his knees and
cried, "Oh, Lord, deliver me from this
man." Stop" said the minister. THAT
Is very good. hope you may always
be able to do as well. Now, you have
to promise to come to the kirk next
Sunday" This the farmer did Not
long afterward he became q leading
elder.

m,croseopic Det.ctfys.

Nuremberg, prince of microscopists,
some years ago was employed by the
prussian government to investigate a
case OF smuggling. A case had been
opened, valuables extracted and the
case repacked and shipped onward to
It's destination. The only cIew to the
criminals was that the unpacking must
have been done at some OF the customs
houses through which the goods had
passed. To all appearances the mi
croscope had hopeless task. Ehren.

been used in repacking, placed 1t un-

one place in the world and told just
where the crime had been committed.

Icebergs ~ Indicators.

In the Investigation Of the currents
round the coast of Newfoundland 1t
has been observed that there Ia Mt
times wide difference In the direction
Of the drift Of icebergs and that Of
the fat or pan Ice, which, having no
great depth, is governed In its mo-
lions by tho surface currents and the
winds, whereas the icebergs, the lar
ger part Of which is submerged to a
great depth, follow only the movement
OF the ocean water as whole and are
uninfuenced by the winds. In conse-
quence huge berg may often be seen
majestically maintaining It's slow ad-
vance In opposition to the wind and
across the general motion Of the fields
Of fat Ice surrounding 1t. The sealers
often take advantage Of this fact by
mo0ring their vessels to IN iceberg In
order to prevent drift to leeward.-

A MONSTER DUMPING.
It Weighed Pound For Each Vote
Cast at Dumping Town.

Cast at jumping Town.
In Halifax county, N. c., prior to
1840 there was voting precinct
known by the odd name Of Dumping
Town. In 1910, when William Henry
Harrison was elected president after
most exciting campaign, Dumping
Town had exactly Ia voters, and ev-
cry man Of them cast his ballot for
Harrison.
The people Of the small but prosper
GUS town of Scotland Neck, in that
county, showed their appreciation Of
the unanimous vote of Dumping Town
by generous and whimsical gift. Two
days and a night were consumed in
building a big dumping, which was
made of apples and -four and which
weighed III pounds, one pound for
each vote cast at Dumping Town
This monster of dumping was put
in sack supported by a tripod and
lowered into an immense iron kettle.
1t required two days and night to
cook it properly. Then it was lifted
out and placed in specially made
bowl cut from the trunk Of an enor-
nous cypress tree, and round it were
placed ia dumplings Of the usual size
A band Of music and fifty wagons were
sent to Dumping Town, and TN these
wagons were taken to Scotland Neck
the la true blue Harrison men and
their families
There was great cheering when they
arrived at Scotland Neck, and the
guests cheered themselves when they
saw the feast prepared for them, for,
besides the dumplings, no end of good
things filled many tables in the spa
ctous warehouse, and the feasting and
fun lasted the rest of the day and near
ly all night.
A barrel Of the best molasses was
used as sauce for the big dumping,
and the hungry people ate it all

EARTHQUAKES.
Theories to Account For These Up
heavals of the Earth's Crust.

Theories to Account For These Up
heavals of the Earth's Crust.
A scientist who has made a special
study of earthquakes says: Let us
imagine the influx of the sea into one
of the assures formed in the earth's
crust. On coming into contact with
molten matter it would instantly be
changed into gaseous steam, expand
ing to more than $4,000 times its origi-
nal bulk This would press with enor-
nous force upward upon the crust Of
the earth and downward upon the sur
face of the liquid lava. If there were
then no vent for the lava to escape an
earthquake would result"
There are other ingenious theories
which have weight, such as that Of
Davy, who when he discovered the
metallic bases of the earths and aka
lis conceived that water may pene-
trate to these metals if they exist un-
derground in an unoxidized state and
so set free sufficient gaseous matter to
cause an earthquake Shrinkage of the
earth's crust Is also to be taken into
account
