Freaks of Memory,

The Stone Ada-

The stone age still exists among some of the islanders of the south Pa cffic and the Eskimos of the extreme north as well as in a few other spots here and there on earth. The progress of early culture in Europe seems to have been from the south and east to- ward the north and west, so that the emergence of the different peoples from their age of stone was accomplished much earlier in southern and eastern Europe than in the north and west. But. while the stone age of different areas is thus not necessarily synchro- nous, 1t seems to be true of ail Euro pean areas that this is the earliest con dition in which man has appeared upon them. This holds for all other areas as well. evidences of the stone age having been fully established in Tn dia. China, Japan, Africa and the Americas.

BIRTH OF F~THE G2AA0 CANYON.

Nature's Mighty Forces That Wrecked
 the Crust of the Earth. <.
 How do you explain ity'' inquired t'ne on meeting Sir John Murray, the eminent English geoiOgist and pres1- dent of the Royal Geographical SO ciety, referring to the Grand Canyon of the Colorado. This was briefly the answer, though not in his words: '1S
 "On either, side of the wide plain ex, tending from sixty to a hundred miles to the right and left of: the canyon evidences of severe volcanic action are visible. In the center was plateau, but you now look down upon 1t as the vast chasm of the canyon. Thrice the volcanic forces of nature, operating on either side, violently and with tremen4 dous power, forced this plateau up. ward, and finally in one cyclopic, tre- mendOus upheaval the plateau parted. and the Grand canyon, the wonder and mystery of the world, was born. ''
 Imagine loaf of dough rising .si- lently under the. continuous pressure of the yeast until finally the crust is broken and the loaf divided into, two. Then look at this broken crust of mother earth. In the early days n vast area embracing a great portion of the interior of the American continent was covered with water. It was great sea. All over the canyon fossil oyster shells proved this contentious The Grand canyon opened; the waters. of the inland sea rushed through in a tearing flood and carved the fantastic forms you now see"
 The questioner further inquired of Sir John, "No doubt this was all very remote, in the early ages of tie worldY' ~.. -,
 "Oh, no,'' said Sir John. Modern, quite mOdern-nOt more than twenty or thirty million years ago!'-Leslie's Weekly.

A Nniui1t in Toncoats.

The late Sir Tatton Sykes. says tho Manchester Guardian. had a way or his own of taking his walks comfort ably. A visitor in the neighborhood O. Sledmere would see the barOnet set ou for his morning round wearing two ol three oVercOats. When he felt warm enough he would take off first one and then another and lay it on the nearest hedgerow.
