in such a way as to only palliate the
symptoms, while the cold becomes more
deep-seated and the patient finally
awakens to the fact that she has o we'll
developed case of catarrh.
BY reason of their delicate structure
the lungs are frequently the seat of a
cold, especially if there is the slightest
weakness Of these organs. The treat
ment of catarrh of the lungs is also
more difficult and discouraging than
catarrh Of any other organ of the body.
Itwould be wise, therefore, to guard
against it by every precaution possible.
Peruna has been found most reliable
remedy for coughs, colds and catarrhal
diseases, by reason Of the fact that it
goes at once to the very seat Of the
trouble.

Rough Time on Diamond Shoal Station

Iightship No. Y, on the Diamond Shoal
station off Cape Hatteras. according to re-
port made to Commander Lloyd, lighthouse
inspector, by Capt. Hansen. commanding
the ship. has had a rough time of it during
the past three weeks or longer. having
been buffeted by continuous succession of
heavy storms On two occasions the
strength OF the gale was sufficient to cause
the ship to change her moorings once for
distance OF half a mile and at another
time three-quarters of a mile. The ship
was each time returned to her station and
was prepared to fight it out with the ele-
ments during the remainder OF her stay on
the station. The lightship has sustained no
damage. but the crew has been unable to
hear from home. as the seas have been
too rough to send boat to the passing
steamers for the mail for the ship.

LATE SURVEYS 1knARYLkND
WORK ON THE LAUREL AND
ROCKVILLE oUADRANGLEs
Interesting Facts Disclosed by the
Operations Of the Govern
ment Engineers.

An area of about $50 square miles was
surveyed by the geological survey, in CO.
operation with the state of Maryland, dur
ing the season of 1906. About one-half of
the Laurel quadrangle was surveyed. and
all of the Rockville. thus completing these
quadrangles Twenty square miles of the
Mt. Airy quadrangle We're completed and
the entire area traversed and leveled.
Montgomery County.
Nearly all of the Rockville quadrangle
lies in Montgomery county. This county
was named after General Richard Mont
gomery who fell at Quebec in 111o. 1t is
one of the richest agricultural counties in
the state and is noted particularly for its
fine fruits and grains. Rockville, the
county seat from which the quadrangle is
named, was known originally as Hunger
fOrdS Tavern, and later was called Will
liamsburg, but in 1901 it was named Rock
vile. after Rock creek, by the general as
sembly. The county is noted for it's beau
tiful landscapes and its crystal springs. Its
mineral wealth is considerable. Kensing-
ton. Gaithersburg, Brookviile and Laytons-
vile are some of the other important VII
lagos shown the sheet. The point of
lowest elevation in the quadrangle is on the
Potomac river, in the southwest corner of
the sheet $50 feet above the sea. The high
COT punt, ~ teSt dDONs sea level IS IN the
northwest part of the quadrangle. The
Baltimore and Ohio railroad traverses the
area, giving good facilities for transporta-
ton.
The Laurel Quadrangle.
The area of the Laurel sheet is divided
among five counties, namely: Howard.
Montgomery. Baltimore, Anne Arundel and
Prince George. 1t is interesting to note
that the counties formed earliest. such as
the three last mentioned. are named "a fter
the English nobility. whereas those counties
ina were made later are named after rev.
alutionary heroes, like Montgomery and
Howard
Inc agricultural opportunities Of the
country are good. About Laurel lie rich
iron-bearing sands. Marble deposits occur
near Clarksville. Laurel Is the principal
village and the only one OF any size shown
upon the sheet. The country is well wa
tered and traversed by several fair-sized
streams. the principal ones being the Big
and Little Patuxent rivers. The slopes on
the upper portions of these streams are
steep and rugged in character; below Lau-
rel these slopes widen out in the rich
levels of the Patuxent. Two main lines of
railroads run across the sheet, the Penn
sylvania and the Baltimore and Ohio
The elevations vary from 60 feet above sea
level to 600 feet. Laurel has an elevation

Judge Nicol says he strongly favors the
federal government assisting the state gov
eminent by an appropriation for the i'm
provement of public roadways He also
approved the income tax.
John F. Ryan. being next introduced
stated that he should not tell of travels
