whose subject was South America. Mr. Fur
long expressed pleasure at his reception in
Belfast and said that Maine was the birthplace
of his father and grandfather, who were among
the earlier settlers of Greenville. The lecturer
has travelled over 10000 miles and lived about
q years in South America studying the land
and its inhabitants an explorer, scientist
and painter, and the one hundred beautifully
colored lantern slides shown were from his
own camera. Several maps and plans of en-
gineering work were shown and clearly ex-
