WORKOUT MOUNTAINS.
Laurentian Highlands the Oldest Land
In the World.


In the World.
Stretching across Canada north of
the st. Lawrence and ending In the
regions about the source Of the Missis-
sippi is a range of low granite hills
called the Laurentian highlands. These
hills are really mountains that are al
most worn out. for they are the Oldest
land In America and. according to
Agassiz. the oldest in the world.
In the days when there was nothing
but water on the face Of the globe
these mountains came up, a long Is
land Of primitive rock. with universal
ocean chatting against its shores None
of the other continents had put in
an appearance at the time America
was thus looking up. The United
States began to come to light by the
gradual uplifting of this land to the
north and the appearance Of the tops
Of the Alleghenies, which were the
next In order. Later the Rockies
started up. The United States grew
southwark from Wisconsin and west
ward from the Blue Ridge.
An early view Of the country would
have shown large island which is
now northern Wisconsin and a long,
thin tongue of this primitive rock
sticking down from Canada into Min
nesota. and these two growing states
looking out over the waters at the
mere beginnings of mountain ranges
east and west. They were wai1lng for
the rest Of the United States to ap-
pear Charles D. Stewart In Atlantic.

MAY VISIT NEW Jersey


Cities along the Kill Won Kull, Rari-
tan and Delaware rivers and Delaware
and Raritan canal may be visited by
the Clermont and Half Moon if the
efforts of a committee OF the deeper
waterways movement are successful.
The waterways convention to be held
at Norfolk, Va, Nov. II to 20, and in
an attempt to secure the reproduce
ions OF the historic vessels as exhibits
at the convention committee is now
negotiating with the Hudson-Fulton
celebration commission.
The committee in charge of the matter
are Congressman J. II. Moore, presi-
dent Of the Deeper Waterways Asso-
citation; F. ". Donnelly, of Trenton,
the New jersey delegate to the con-
vention; George F. Sproule, COM
missioner of navigation for PennsyI.
vania, and Charles E. Reed, secretary
of the New York Board of Trade.
With view to presenting the pro-
position in its strongest light, tenta-
tive program and itinerary have been
arranged. 1t is suggested that the
vessels be manned by sailors from the
navy and be escorted by gunboat
and torpedo boat.
Mr.. Donnelly has suggested that II
fotilla from the New York Yacht Club
accompany the ships as far as New
Brunswick; that the New Brunswick
Club act ms escort to Bordentown,
through the canal, and that the Tren-
ton Yacht Club pilot the visitors down
the Delaware to Philadelphia.
From the latter city the ships would
be taken through the Delaware and
Chesapeake Canal to Baltimore, aud
then to Norfolk.

FlEMINGTOh WIFE ANSWERS DIVORCE

Mrs. Catherine Bird, formerly of
Chancery an answer to the suit for di-
vorce instituted against her by her
husband, William Bird, of Fleming
ton. Mrs Bird denies emphatically her
husbands charges OF infidelity and
makes counter charges against him.
In her answer Mrs. Bird AYERS that
after their marriage in New York they
began housekeeping on East Fifty fifth
Street, that city The defendant
alleges that her husband told her he
owned real estate in Pennington and
was interested in business in that
town which he was about to sell, and
that as soon as 1t was sold he would
engage in business in New York.
Mrs. Bird continues by charging
that after the FIRST month her husband
did not pay the rent aud did not con-
tribute to her support. They had two
boarders, and she WAS compelled, she
declares, to borrow money from one
of them to pay the rent and support
the home.
Finally she told her husband she
could not borrow any more money and
conld not pay the expenses OF their
living. She told him she must earn
her own living, but could not support
him. This led to quarrel, during
which, Mrs. Bird charges, her hus-
band beat her. Then she ordered
him out Of the house. This was in
1896, and the next day he took his
trunk and left. The wife says he has
never returned and has never commu-
nicated with her.
The wife AYERS that she was COM
PEELED to give up the apartment and
return to Pennington. Later she re-
turned to New York, where she has
since supported herself. She charges
her husband with descrting her.
