The territory within a mile or two
of each of the mouths OF the Missis-
sippi is characterized by large swell
ings or upheavals of tough blush
gray clay, to which has been applied
the name mud Jumps"
Many of these mud Jumps rise just
off shore and form islands having a
surface extent of an acre or more and
a height of five or ten feet, but some
do not reach the water surface.
These mud Jumps, In addition to be-
ing of importance because of their
effects on the channels of Mississippi
river, are also Of considerable purely
scientific interest, for their develop
ment is not included in the usual con-
ception of delta growth, and although
several theories have been advanced,
their cause must still be regarded as
uncertain.
To an observer at the mouth of the
river the idea that the region is a
great dumping ground for large part
of the United States is most imrres-
sive. The land is beng built out l. to
the sea at an estimated average rate
of about 300 feet a year. In one place

Everyone who has as much as
peeped into a geography knows that
there is a preponderance of land in
the Northern hemisphere and of sea
in the Southern. A French scientist,
NJ. Adhemar, evolved an interesting
theory to account for this fact He
affirmed that the immense cupola of
ice which exists around the south
pole must affect the center of gravity
of the earth, and consequently attract
the ocean southwark. This is some
mes taken to explain the remark
able predominance of continents
pointing southwark.
The progressive increase of sea as
one goes southwark is SO remarkably
regular that 1t can hardly be the re-
suit of accident. M. Adhemar, main
tanning that this is due to the altera-
ton of the centre of gravity of the
earth, believed that this alteration s
going on constantly. Consequently,
he said, that Ii, 160 years ago, when
the Northern hemisphere was at It's
coolest, the Northern glacier conse-
uuently at it's maximum, and the
Southern at its minimum, the pre-
ponderanee of water would have been

Sir Walter Scott described Lady
Stewart Mackenzie as ian enthusi-
astic Highlander deep In all manner
of Northern tradition" and 1t was
from her store of this Northern or
Highland tradition that he derived
much of the local color for his Scotch
tales and poems.
Maria Elizabeth Fredericks Stewart
was born 1871 years ago today, and
when tWenty-one she married q
Scotch nobleman named Hood, where
upon she was known as Lady Hood.
Hood died before many years had
passed, and upon the death of her
father, who was the head of his clan
few months later, Maria became
chieftainess of the clan of Mackenzie.
1t was then that Sir Walter Scott
knew her best, and he said of her
that "the spirit of a chieftainess was
in every drop of her blood" Later
she married a member of the Scotch
Stewart family, when she was known
as Lady Stewart Mackenzie.
GenevieVe Ward, who was born sew
enty-six years ago today, has been
characterized as the most impas-
stoned and intelligent interpreter of
tragic characters in modern times"
She was the daughter of wealthy
American parents and passed her girl
hood in Europe studying languages
and music. When she was sixteen
years old she met q fascinating Rus
sian count named Constantine de
Guerbei, with whom she entered into
an engagement of marriage. Gene

The state department at Wash
ington never possessed a more com
petent chief clerk than was SeVillon
Brown. He served in that capacity
under Hamilton Fish in the admin
astrat.on Of President Grant and
then under William NJ. Evarts in
the administration of President
Hayes, and after that under James
G. Blaine In the administration of
Garfield and part of that of Pres

with charming personality, wh'ch
made everyone who went to the state
department feel comfortable, even
though unable to obtain an audience
with the secretary of state.
Mr.. Brown had a splendid oppor-
tunity to study the personal peculiar
tiles as well as the intellectual and
the temperamental characteristics OF
the distinguished men who served as
secretary of state when he was chlef
clerk of the department.

when Mr. Blaine had retired as secre-
tary of state, Mr.. Brown was asked
this question: WHO was the hardest
worker of the three secretaries of
state under whom you served?"
The answer was instantaneous:
at was Hamilton Fish.
Then, again, the question was put
to Mr.. Brown: How did Mr.. Evarts
work?" A faint smile betrayed Mr..
Brown, so that he felt compelled to
say that the great lawyer took things
very easy when he was secretary of
state.
Mr.. Brown proceeded more care

to be married in the Greek chapel in
Paris. Without this ceremony the
marriage would have no validity in

this fact, and at once sent word of

Russia, who summarily commanded

to comply and was followed by Mrs.

her mother left Russia for Italy.

Little Stories Of New Jersey
The Delaware and Raritan Canal
BY ARTHUR E. WARMER.

Governor Mahlon Dickinson was
certainly a prophet when he said in
his message sent to the Legislature
in 1916 regarding the Raritan canal
project:
I'VE have the most satisfactory
evidence that the expense of con-
structing such a canal on the most
practicable route would be but a
small proportion to the immense ad-
vantages to be derived from it. 1t
would form an important link in that
vast chain of internal navigation
which our country admits of, and
which will, at some future time,
afford us security in war, an abundant
source of wealth in peace, while it
will form q permanent bond of union
among the Atlantic States"
Nearly century later the project
of internal waterway improvem 1nts
became a fixed policy of the nation,
and the Delaware and Raritan canal
is an important part of the great
movement.
This canal, sixty-five miles in
length and fifty feet wide, connects
the two rivers aftere which 1t was
named. This part of our great water
way SYSTEM WAS buBStStSu as col ~
as 1895, when Winterbotham in
his Historical, Geographical, Com
mercial and Philosophic View of the
United States of America" published
in New York city, said that the
Raritan river might be made capable
of a very steady" lock navigation as
high as the junction of the north and
south branches, thence up the south
branch to Grandin's bridge, in King
wood.
The Governors Prophecy.
In 1904 charter was granted for
the project, but the immense cost of
the work and the uncertainty of the
investment kept capital away, and
the plan failed. 1t was, however, re-
vived In 1916, when Governor Diclin-
son sent his memorable prophecy to
the Legislature. A route was sur
veyed by Thomas Johnson, Of Prince
ton, but the plan was no more sue

however, and some disappear over
night.
Among the most conspicuous and
impressive features of the mud Jumps
are the mud springs that are active
on many If not al! of them. The dis
charge from these springs consist OF
salt, watery mud and gas; In fact,
gas escapes at many places on theA
surface of the delta of the Mississippi
Gas rises in bubbles in all the mud
springs.
1t is considered by some scientists
that the mud Jumps are produced by
gentle seaward flow of layers of
semi-fiuid clay under the land and the
shallow water near the ends of the
passes. The mud Jumps appear to be
the product of flow, because in no
other places have such thick bodies
of clay been found, and the fact that
they occur almost exclusively near
the ends of the passes and that they
are most active during and after times
of high water seems to support this
theory.

Pine in Its Glory

The pines know it is their time now.
From the hilltop you may see how
darkly vivid they stand out in the
general BROWNIES OF the landscape,
says the Lewiston, Idaho, Sun. So
significant they look, 1t is as If they
spoke while they gaze away to the
steadfast blue hills where nothing
changes but the trailing mist and the
shifting sunlight.
The hills and the pines might be
saying to each other: "Ah, there you
are! knew you'd be waiting. steady
and strong as ever, when all this
fiummery OF leaves and flowers was
cleared out OF the way We've got it
all to ourselves now. We can build
as we like in an empty world. Let's
make 1t a temple OF splendor with,
Jewel work OF frost and curtains of
snow held high above the great still
pictures OF wintry earth and heaven"
II we get a touch OF the melancholy
of autumn, little of the sense OF
emptiness that follows the loss OF leaf
and blossom. 1t will do us good to go
out on the heights and see how the
hills and the pines are standing by us.

An rnrlIsh View Of the Tango.

An English view OF thc A""s~'
From the London Times.
It's hold upon modern society, now
ever. is not hard to explain. We nave
reached again moment at whlch the
pursuit of pleasure is approved. Inc
pursuit of pleasure is one of the most
sensible things to VIII CHI the NINA
of man can give itself, for though
the moralists dwell on the difference
between pleasure and happiness, the
normal man finds that the greater
part of his happiness arises from
pleasure
Yet the rhythm of life never brings
10 the surface the same thing twice
IN the same form. The pleasure OF
Aha Regency, we should imagine,
must have been a grosser and more
brutal pleasure than that of the
restoration, as the pleasure of the
restoration was more part al ana
physical than the pleasure of Eliza
beth's day. About twenty years ago
English pleasure reached the sum
NIT of a peculiarly disagreeable phase.
Pleasure was admitted to be wrong,
and was cultivated with an aHecllon
of bravery. Today we have passed
beyond that stage. We honestly be-
lieve that pleasure Is not bad, but
good-a thing worth having Tor It's
own sake, no less than as source
of vitality and strength and as
sweetener of | fe. We believe it TO
be natural, and sincerely hold that
what is natural cannot be evil. And
yet we seem to be no nearer than
twenty years ago to the understand
ing of what is, for ourselves, natural.
We import our nature. We turn for
it to the negro, the South American,
the ancient Greek, the modern New
Yorker. With country densely
populated by fairies and COLLINS and
sprites and elves, we make plays
and ballets out of dryads and nymphs
and olympians.
The waltz has held its own for
hundred years because, though of for
eign orig n, 1t suits the English tenn

mental. We know and like its mean
ing Doubtless, in its native coun-
try, the tango has meaning, but 1t
is not one that can be expressed in
an English ballroom. Like our farces
from the French, the ballroom tango
hints at what 1t dare not say, and
involves it's votaries at once in dull
ness and pretense.
