Use of MiIIstones.

1t is generally supposed that the use
of millstones is becoming less and less
each year, becaue of the introduction
of other grinding machinery, but on
the contrary, according to figures
made public by the United States geo.
logical survey, the value of the pro-
duction of millstones, burrstones,
ehasers and dragstones in this country
in 1912, amounting to 1,414. was the
largest since 1883, when it amounted to
ISL 900, and was an increase of SAL
345 over the figures for 1911. The re-
placement of the millstones, il was as
sumed. would be gradual. and the VAL
ue of millstones would therefore show
a steady falling off This, however,
has not been the case. From maxi
mum value of 100000 in 1880. the value
fell to s100, 900 in 1887; from ISL 900 in
1883 the value declined rapidly to &c.
5S7 in 1891; in the following year
there was a raise in value TO s23.417,
followed by a marked decline uuntil
the lowest value ever reported. s13.SS7
was reached in 1894. Since that year
the values have risen and fallen. Mill
stones were produced in 1912 in Ala
bama. New York, North Carolina,
Pennsylvania and Virginia. The out
put in New York was between two and
three times that of 1911, and this state
regained its lead in the milestone in
dustry in the United States.-Indiana-

Mental Originality.

Anatole France has coined a phrase
which may have the breath of life in
it. What is madness, after all, he
says. but sort of mental originali-
ty." He writes that Charles Dickens
always liked madmen, and cites
among the madmen good Mr. Dick, in
David Copperfield," whose innocence
is described with such tender grace. Il
believe" writes the great Frenchman
of letters, that Dickens had more
feeling than any other writer. l be-
lieye that his novels are as beautiful
as the love and pity that inspired
them. regard David Copperfield'
as a new gospel. I believe. lastly, that
Mr.. Dick is a sensible mailman, be-
cause the only reason left to him Is
the reasoning of the heart, and that
is hardly ever received. What matter
if he does fly kites on which he has
written some reflections concerning
the. death of King Charles I? He Is
benevolent, he wishes i'll to no one;
and that is a piece of wisdom to which
many sane men dosnot so easily attain
as he."-Indianapolis News.

CameIs in the Yukon.

Among the most interesting collec-
tions in the National Museum at
Washington is one exhibiting the re-
mains of extinct camels and horses
found in Alaska and the Yukon. At
the time of the discovery of this wes-
tern hemisphere the natives had never
seen a horse, and the nearest living
American representative of the camel
was the llama. Within year discov-
cries have been made which Indicate
that eamels once inhabited the Yukon
region of Canada and the skull of an
Alaskan horse has also been found.
1t is known that several large spe-
cies of camels were very abundant on
this continent during both the Plio-
Gene and the Pleistocene periods, and
the discovery of their remains in the
Pleistocene deposits of the Alaskan
peninsular was not altogether unlock
ed for although their occurrences so
far within the arctic circle was scarce
ly expected. This verification of their
former presence within that region.
therefore, is of especial interest, in
that it greatly extends the known geo.
graphic distribution of this important
group of mammals in America, incl
dentally adding proof in support or
the suppositon that milder climatic
conditions prevailed in Alaska during
probably the greater part of the Pleis-
tocene period. 1t also tends to sup
port the theory of the existence of a
wide Asiatic- Alaskan land connection
