Her Little Boy

Always :" little boy 80 to her,
No matter how old he's grown,
Her eyes are blind to the strands of gray,
She's deaf to his manly tone.
His voice is the the day he asked,
What makes the old cat purr %
Ever and ever he's just the same
A little boy to her.
Always g little boy" to her.
She heeds not the lines of care
That furrow his face-to her it is still
AS it was in his boyhood fair;
His hopes and his joys dear to her
AS they were in his small-boy days.
He changes: to her he's still
My little boy" she says.
Always little boy" to her.
And to him she's the mother fair,
With the laughing eyes and the cheering smile
Of the boyhood days back there.
Back there, somewhere in the midst of years
Back there with the childish JOY,
And to her he is never the see,
But always her little boy
Always little boy to her,
The ceaseless march of the years
Goes rapidly by, but its drumbeats die
Ere ever they reach her ears
The smile that she sees is the smile of youth,
The wrinkles are dimples of joy,
His hair with its gray is sunny May,
He is always g her little boy"

TO REBUILD BOAT
 AT NCANk, YARD
Dereiict Schooner Herald to Be Con-
 verted Into Fourmaster.

The derelict schooner Herald, twice rescued from laundering. arrived in Boston Monday from Rockland, Me, in tow of the tug Charles B. Sanford, en route to Noark. where she is to be rebuilt for. active service again, after resting in the mud at Rocazland for two years.
 The Herald was abandoned in a dis masted condition 100 miles west of Seal Island, N. B., on April i, 1915, while carrying valuable cargo of lumber for Bridgewater, N. S., to New York. Her salvage was accomplished a few days later by three fishermen from Swans Island, who' earned thereby. more money than they would have received in an entire season of fishing. Recently she was sold to the Boston Ship Brokerage Co., for $40o and New Workers have just taken her for nearly double that sum. The great demand for tonnage led to the sale of the derelict.
 At Noank she will be reconstructed as a. four-master schooner, although prior to the time she was wrecked the craft carried only three masts.

 mining how much material each group of organisms has contributed to the marine sediments from which - the rocks were formed is interesting and important, and that problem has. been carefully studied by F. w. Clarke and w. c. Wheeler in the laboratory of the United States Geological Survey, of the Department of the Interior. Mir. Wheeler made 250 chemical analyses of shells or skeletons of Inatino in- vertebrates. including the calcafoue algae, the specimens comprising forms ranging from almost microscopic For aiminifera up to large cruataceans. The results are published by the Geo. logical Survey in Professional Paper 102. The molluscan sheEs and the corals were found to consist of car bonate of lime, which contained only trifiing impurities, and some groIps of organisms that made. smaller contri- buttons to the sediments consist large ly of the same material. These crea- lures, then; help to build tfs ordinary Hmestones. The Foramlnifera. the beautiful corals known as sea fans, the echinoderms-which include the erinoids. sea urchihs, and starfishes- are all rich in carbonate of inagnesia, which they contribute to the nRzIle- sian liefnstones and otomites. Phos- pliatic lfnestones or phosphafic rocks owe their pfosphates in great part to aceans. Vertebrate skeletons, such as those of fishes. which are also high ly phosphatic. add thcir phesphates to the sediments. v
 We now know more precisely than before the investigation began the isrls in the formation of marine lime stones. The study of the sedimdntary rocks has been distinctly advanced by the work reported in this paper. L

 visited the one-story type of school building. It is a new type of school architecture with all of the rooms on the ground floor and with overhead lighting. The great advantage of such "a structure is economy in cost of building, and is lessens the fire haz- ard. All rooms have an outside door. The building could be ernptied of all the pupils in less than a half minute. because all pupils go out of doors from their own rooms. Such a build ing requires more space than the present style, and of course could not be used in congested centers.
 I also visited the intermediate school or junior high school and made a study of the organization, the vocation al opportunities and the different courses offered in such an organiza- tion., I feel~ most enthusiastic Over this organization of the school work. There is no question but what greater opportunities and advantages are pro- vided by such an organization.
