CONDENSED GEOLOGICAL TALKS

TOP OF TUSCARORA MOUNTAIN
-Oriskany sandstone-when washed,
as white as snow-one variety known
as glass sand, another variety as Gan
lister rock; and still another as quartz
ite, the latter differing somewhat from
the Azoic quartzite. States annual
product in glass sand, S3,500, 900;
Canister, $450,00O; quartz or quartz
ite, S125,000. The millions of tons of
Oriskany sandstone of this mountain
are undeveioped. Three and one
half miles southwardly, in a heavily
wooded cove, birthplace of James
Buchanan. Going down the mountain
northwestwardly there is an exposure
of the Lower Heidelberg limestone or
the Clinton shales, but good view of
the Medina and Oneida sandstones.
On this mountain range the Medina
rock for building purposes is very
superior. much of the stone being
hard, white, and occasionally dotted
with beautiful pink spots, adding to
the attractiveness. Its constituents
are such that it will outlast marble
undeveloped. The lower great curve
of the highway is on Hudson river
slate, and then to Trenton limestone
for a mile to McConnellsburg.

The Frothinghams are nice people

that doesn't give them a license to

The Frothinghams have a skeleton

a skeleton. Uncle Heck is Joe Nor

become politely picked and fall asleep
draped over a gold chair in the draw

pany present.
For that reason the Frothinghams
on state occasions put the skids under
Uncle Heck and run him of stage till
after the final curtain.
On some occasions Uncle Heck
breaks through the bars and dashes
into the scene of refinement with
merry quip and Jest to the confusion
of his relatives and the ill-concealed
amusement of their guests.
This was one of those occasions.

Uncle Heck moved and seconded
that he sing the swan song from 10
hengrin," but his idea of swan was
SO much like a turkey gobbler that
loving friends slipped him the mecca
sins and elbowed him out of the room.
Then he went out in the buffers
pantry hoping to do an Omar Khayyam
with the grape, but not finding any he
began to recite, Down in the Lehigh
Valley me and my people grew; was

She tied couple Of chords together
and swung that piano like pair Of

First she did my Old Kentucky

body who had a home began to weep
for fear it might get to be like her

The variations were where she made
a mistake and struck the right note.
Then Gladiola moved up to the
squeaky end OF the piano and gave an
imitation of a Swiss music box.
1t sounded to me like a Swiss
cheese.
Presently Gladiola ran out of raw
material and subsidized, while we all
applauded her with our fingers crossed,
and two very thoughtful ladies began
to talk fast to Gladiola so as to take
her mind on the piano.
This excitement was followed by
another catastrophe named Minnehaha
Jones. who picked up couple of So

Minnehaha is one of those fearless
singers who vocalize without a safety

closed, SO she can't tell just when her
audience gets up and leaves the room.
