ouarantined.

In one of the little mountain towns
Of the south a Chautauqua meeting
was held last summer for the first
time. The fact was advertised for
some distance round the town, but the
older negroes especially did not under
stand what it was all about.
Across the front Of the little hotel Of
the village was flung a banner bearing
the one word "Chautauqua."
Up to this hotel one day drove an old
negro in one horse wagon containing
few vegetables, which he hoped to
sell to the proprietor, as he had done
on former occasions. But when he
saw the banner with its ominous word
he was seized with fright and would
not go into the building or even get
out Of his wagon. When the proprietor
appeared the old fellow inquired nerv-
ously, "What disease is you all quar-
antined for, boss Y-Youth's Compan-
ion.

THE MARROW BosPoRus.
A lie Greatest Width II Measures
Only 9,83S Feet.


The Bosporus contains few danger
ons submarine rocks or shoals. The
locality of these few il indicated by
lighthouses or buoys. The water Is
only slightly tinged with salt and Is
marvelously clear The sands, glitter
ing apparently near the surface, may
be twenty feet below.
ON a map, of whatever scale, each
of those familiar straits. which cleave
lands and continents asunder, seems
hardly more than silvery thread.
Yet as one sails over their famous wa
tiers the opposing shores on either
hand sometimes appear far away. The
strait Of Gibraltar. which wrests Afri-
ca from Europe. is sixteen miles wide;
that Of Messina. forcing its way be-
tween Italy and Sicily, is from two to
twelve; that of Bonifacio, which, like
A blade of steel, cuts Corsica and Sar-
linia apart. is seven miles in width at
its most contracted point: even the
Dardanelles expands from over one to
four.
But the Illusion as to distance Great
ed by the map is reality as to the Bos-
porus. or Buyoukdereh. where it at
tains it's largest breadth, its hemmed
in waters broaden to only 9,S3S feet,
or about one and four-fifths miles. Be-
tween Roumeli Hissar and Anadoli
Hissar they shrink to one-sixth of
these dimensions. or to 1,641 feet

THE MUDDY MISSOURI.
How the River Lowers the Surface Of
the Land L. Drains.

How the River Lowers the Surface Of
the Land It Drains.
The Missouri is the muddiest river In
the Mississippi valley. 1t carries more
silt than any other large river in the
United States except possibly the Rio
Grande and the Colorado. For every
square mile of country drained it car
ries downstream 1871 tons of dissolved
and suspended matter each year. In
other words, the river gathers annual
ly from the country that 1t drains
more than 123.OO0.O00 tons Of silt and
soluble matter, some of which 1t dis
tributes over the food plains below to
form productive agricultural lands,
but most of which finds its way at last
to the gulf of Mexico.
1t is by means of data of this kind
that biologists compute the rate at
which the lands are being eroded away.
1t has been shown that the Missouri
river is lowering the surface of the
land drained by 1t at the rate of foot
in 6,036 years. The surface of the
United States as a whole is now being
worn down at the rate of foot in
9,120 years.
1t has been estimated that If this
erosive action Of the streams of the
United States could have been concen-
trated on the isthmus of Panama 1t
would have dug in seventy-three days
the canal which was completed after
ten years work with the most power
full appliances yet devised by man.

TOSSING In q Blanket.

Tossing In the blanket is a very old
sport or punishment ''Blanketing"
Ben Jonson called it, and in Holinshed
Q55D we find denunciation of Jest
ing, placing, bIanketing and such other
fiilthie and dishonorable exercises"
The French have a special verb,
"berner," for it, "berne" being the
name given to the sheet or blanket
used. The verb "berner' is also used
for the Moorish punishment. In which
four men hold the victim by his an
kles and wrists and send him as high
as they can-presumably with no blan-
ket to catch him.

BACCALAUREATE SERMON.
Delivered Sunday Evening at the Metho.
dist Church by Rev. S. Hitchcock.

The High School Commence
ment Exercises of the Glass of
1918 began Sunday evening
when the Baccalaurate service
was held at tn Methodist
church. Long before the time
for the service to begin the seats
in the church were all taken and
the ushers were kept busy
placing chairs.
Shortly after the opening
strains of the Prelude had been
played by Miss Ethel Joslyn, the
Class of rs marched in, fol
lowed by the members of the
faculty, and took their seats in
the center section reserved for
them. After the opening SER
vice Mrs. Alexander sang very
beautifully Angels Serenade"
by Braga. She was accompan-
led on the organ by Miss Ethel
Joslyn and by Mr.. Husome on
the violin. Rev. Chas. T.. Ensign
then offered prayer. The High
School Chorus sang THE Pill
grims' Chorus" from Tannhaus-
er.
The topic for Rev. Hitchcock's
address was 'The Statesman
and the Soldier" His text was
taken from l Timothy, VI:12,
Fight the good fight of faith
He spoke very fearlessly upon
the dangers besetting the young
people of today and gave as the
most insidious danger the wa,
spirit that is now coming to US
from all quarters of the globe
war is not scientific" altht
some countries have developed
a science of war that is almos
perfect in it's destructive powers
He then went on to show how al
the great warning nations of tn
world have sunk from places o
power to the bottom of the scale
due to the fact that war dis
} troyed their best men and lef
the weakest to father futur
generations. Great millitiar.
preparations breed jealousie
and eventually war. He state
that this country would nee
about two years of preparatio

a leader would doubtless b
brought forward who would pro
vide some method to avoid it,
case war was threatened. Hi

The service closed with tn
I singing of that favorite old hymn
