your ignorance of Ireland, sir, and

The tall cliffs Of Ballybunion wade
knee-deep In the rough Atlantic. They
are the bulwarks of Erin's west coast,
and since the worlds beginning the
wild Atlantic surge, breaking against
them, have eaten them out In caves and
hollows
These cliffs OF Ballybunion contain
In their depths masses Of iron pyrites
and alum. Now and then the salt sea
water eats into these masses and oxidi-
zation at once takes place and flames
burst forth and the rocks crack and
melt in the great heat.
"Once the cliffs of BallybunIon burnt

up yellow flame and black, foul-snell-

The greatest ocean depths are not in

globe. Close to New Zealand the water

depth of 29,530 feet, while they are
separated from each other by a chain of
mountains $3.50 feet in height There
is also the Aleutian ravine, which
reaches a depth Of $4,000 feet.
Mostly subaqueous scenery is monot-
onous; there are no abrupt declivities
or precipices; except in the vicinity of
the coasts or near islands of volcanic
formation, everything being rounded off
and smoGthed down by the action Of
the water. Close to the land there is
somewhat more variety. The Euro

down into the depths. and a fair view

College to Pay smart students.

Financial reward for high standing and

GERS for the year 1907-08. On this PLAN
tuition is to be paid for on the basis of
So per point, point meaning the sue
cessful completion of work one hour a
week for half a year. This would make
the total course for the three years
amount to $500, except where deduction
is made for scholarship. Any students
who are credited with "a points may re-
ceive one point extra toward higher de-
gree. Thus it will be possible for a stu
dent to get twelve extra credits in three
years and for this $50 will be deducted
from his tuition. On the other hand, stu
dents lose s. for every course in which
they fail and the fee for delinquent ex-
aminations is, So.

WILLIAM sCoLL1' ago. Altogether he
owned 100000 acres of American land,
Including: In Logan. Sangamon and
Livingston Counties, H., 10000; in
Kansas, $4,000: in Nebraska, 10000;
in Missouri, 10000. These lands he
leased to tenants for cash rental.
Incidentally he was widely execrated
by certain sections Of the population
I'm the West for his attempt to foster
Irish landlordism" in free America.
So bitter did the sentiment against
Scully become that Illinois passed a
law declaring an alien incapable of
holding lands In Illinois and requiring
all such to sell their holdings within
three years. This law was declared
unconstitutional by the United States
Supreme Court. Then Illinois passed
modified law, and Scully became a
naturalized citizen of the United
States. He made his home in Wash
ington, where he lived without osten-
tation. In 1851 he came to the United
States to invest money in land. Land
Ing at Philadelphia, he bought horse
ard a spade and started west search
ing tor land. He rode on horseback
from Philadelphia through the States
OF Pennsylvania. Indiana, Illinois. Mis-
souri,. Kansas. Nebraska and wiscon-
sin, testing the soil with his spade.
He gave two years to the trip and then
he bought his land. Much OF his land
in Illinois cost him only S1.o5 an acre.
