much time would be lost In starting

When Tennessee Was Known as the
State of Franklin.

When Tennessee Was Known as the
State of Franklin.
Probably few people know that the
original name of the state of Tennessee
was Franklin or that In 1873 the sal
aries Of the officers of the common
wealth were paid In pelts. but the fol-
lowing is correct copy of the law:
BE 1t enacted by the state of Frank
lin. and 1t is hereby enacted by author
ity of the same, that from and after the
LIST day of January. 1888. the salaries
of this common wealth be as follows
to wit:
His excellency the governor per
annum. 100 deerskins.
His honor the chief justice, 500
deerskins.
THE secretary to his excellency the
governor 500 raccoon skins.
County clerk. 300 beaver skins.
CLERK of the house of commons. 200
raccoon skins.
Justices fee for serving a warrant
one minkskin."
At that time the state OF Franklin
extended to the east bank of the Mis-
sissippi river. and on the west bank
was that great unknown forest region
of Louisiana. 1t was then terra in
cognita. save a few canoe landings
and Indian trading posts on the river
banks. 1t was known as the district
of Louisiana and in 1905 was made the
territory of Louisiana.
The state of Franklin. which became
Tennessee in l7a6, was almost as lit
tie known. The now great city OF
Memphis was mere trading post and
was not laid out as a village until
1920.

Much wonder has been excited be-
cause the snow crystals exhibit such u

They form within n very thin gaseous
solvent, the air. and this allows the
molecules of water an unexampled
freedom OF motion and adjustment

form. The fact doubtless largely ex-
plains why the crystals OF snow far

Der and arrangement of the attractive
and repellent poles possessed by the
molecules of water impose this habit
of growth on them. This dividing into
six Is necessarily discussed and best
explained In somewhat technical
sounding terms. We may assume each
water particle or molecule possesses
two opposite primary poles, positive
and negative. corresponding In direc-
ton with the main tabular axis of the
crystals, and In addition three or six
equidistant secondary poles arranged
around what may be called the equa-
torial dia meters of the molecules. Wa

thus IN a position between and at right
angles to the primary electromagnetic
poles This alignment OF the lines of
growth opposite to the lines of greater
magnetic force would compel the crys-
tails of snow to grow mainly outward
In the directions OF their equatorial
diameters and secondary poles. This
theory would perhaps best explain
why the crystals grow upon thin tabu-

O. q. Borchgrevink. commander OF

other man could duplicate the expert

February. 1900. he landed from his
ship with Captain Jensen aud three
other men. Then. wishing 10 take n
picture of the shore, he sent his boat
back to the vessel TO get camera. and
he and Captain Jensen were left alone
on the rough beach. Before the boat
returned a strange and awful thing
happened. Mr.. Borchgrevink told the
story In the Outlook:
A roar and rush. with tremendous
explosions, shook the beach. The
thought came to us that the perpen.
Then we realized what was taking
place. The mighty glacier immedl
ately to the west of us was giving
birth to an iceberg.
Millions OF tons of Ice plunged into
the ocean. We could see nothing be-
yond an immense cloud OF rolling
snow. The water rose from the plunge

At the place where Jensen and |

the wave had struck with full force
the face of the rock had been altered.
and rocks were still falling when the
three men in the boat found us. bleed

Two facts had saved us. To our
right small peninsula of Ice protrud-
ed some five feet from the rock, and
the rock itself bent toward the west.
From the moment 1t struck the curve
of the mountain rock to the west of
us the wave took a course more east
