 Col. Mcclure told this story as Clover club dinner in the old BelleVu' of Philadelphia. It was story apo" the Spanish war.
 There was a regiment it seems recruited from Conshohoeken, Cinhs minson, Wawa and Manunka Chunk and the ladies of those PennsylVahh towns got together after the 'eSr nents departure and made lot or pa jamas for the soldiers. Pajamas we'' a new thing in those days, smart a elusive, and so forth; the ordlna' man wore night shirt.

Blt at the close of the glacial Dsro, the land levels in al this rortben region were much lower than at h. present time On the southern eoa., oi New England sea beaches ws, thrown Up about fifty feet higher than those which are formed now. Along the southern shore of Maine the land had sunk so much that sea shells srs found in clay deposits 250 feet sboy, the present Sea level The Champlsp and St Lawrence valley was so much depressed that hales sDorted in salt water over the site Of Middlebury col. lege. Vermont, and seals Yentured into an arm Of the sea extending far up into the Ottawa rive, while at Mon treal modern sea shells are found 300 feet above present tide water upon the top oi the mountain which gives the city its name. Going farther north the indications are that upoo the shores of the Arctic sea post. glacial subsistence amounted to 1000 feet Everywhere across the continen, there is cumulative evidence that this postgiacial subsistence was as eytsn. slve as the glaciated region, and that 1t increased in amount from south to north. This is a very important con sideration 10 be kept in mind in work. ing out glacial and post glacial prob lens. This diferenual northerly de presslon at the close Of the glacial period caused the great lakes to fos at first into the Ottawa river across Lake kippissing over the site Of North bay into the Mattaway river ard so into t.e Ottawa along the line through which the Canadian govern ment is talking of building ship canal, and which is already utilized @ tho Canadian Pacific railroad.

The level Of the ocean is more con stant than that Of the land. The ex- panse Of the ocean is three times as great as that Of the land, and its depth more than ten times as great if all the land should be sunk in the ocean. t would raise the general va ter level only about 300 feet In general We may say with perfect con fdence that the ocean beds represent portions Of the earth's crust which have been sinking from the earliest geological times, while the continents represent those portions which with many oscillations, have. on the whole. been rising. It probably is not true, as is often stated, that the areas Of land and water have shifted places in past time so that continents were found where the main ocean beds now lie and oceans swept without in terruption over the continental areas still there is the best Of evidence that large portions of the existing con tinents were a. various times below the leyei C. the sea.

The recent threat of a body Of citi.
xsns in California to establish another
state within Oslifornis's borders because
OF dissatisfaction with taxation methods
has attracted the attention of govern
meut officials in Washington. The
United States constitution provides that
"No new state shall be formed or erected
within the jurisdiction Of any other state
nor any state be formed by the junction
OF two or more states, or parts OF states,
without the consent of the legislatures of
the stl,os concerned, ss well ss Con-
gross" This provision together with
the manner in which California was
carved out of other states, are pointed
to by these government officials as
reasons why such a threat would likely
never reach more definite form but they
forget that the state of West Virginia
was taken from the mother state con-
trsry TO the protest of Virgins, which
safe was theO without the union, and
contrary to the constitution. But what
is the constitution to the leaders Of the
republican party?
