This term has recently come into
use to describe remarkable features
Of the earth's surface and Of vegeta-
ton which possess sufficient scien-

for their protection. In Prussia a
special state department has been Or
gained under the control Of the
minister Of education for encourag-

Among the objects mentioned as spe-

A story, said to be Characteristic,
is told Of IN Arkansas judge. Il
seems that when he convened court
at one Of the towns on his circuit Il
was found that no pens, ink or paper

it developed that no county funds
were available for that purposs. The
judge expressed himself somswhat
forcefully. then drew some money
from his own pocket. He vas sbout
to hand this to the clerk, whsn Q
visiting lawyer, a high-pricsd i'm
ported article, brought on TO defend
a case Of some Importance, spoke up,
in an aside plainly audible over the
room.
"well," he remarked, with infinite
contempt, "I've seen some pretty bad
courts, but this-well, this 10 the
limit"
The old Judge flushed darby.
"You are fined $25 for contempt,
sir! Hand the money TO the clerk 7"
he said, and when the pompous visi-
tor had humbly complied, - CO.
tinued:
Now, Mr.. Clerk, go out and sst
what pens, ink and paper ths oss1t
