sonable theory as to whence came the shocks. In the course of time we shall have a treatise, probably GOV ering this episode in the formation, or destruction, of the globe, issued by those who are we1l-yersed in disturb ances of the earth and more capable of making explanation than is the or dinary laymall. Meanwhile, however, our imagination may picture the events which lead to the clash of ele- ments in the bosom of the earth. The imagination of the Indian natives was immensely stirred. so much so that they accepted the end of the world and journeyed to their shrine i'm pelled by fear, to cleanse their souls of sin in preparation for the meeting of their Maker.
 Our enlightenment is greater, our familiarity with history tells us that a shaking of the earth is too common for accepting it as the end of all mat ter. But still. we wonder what has gone on. It is possible that a rift iii IIlc Sb4 1ICS Ol lllt Stll LII, uliuSI tlLt sea, has opened and the waters pour ing in have come into contact with the heat discharged from the center of the earth through another vent than has yet been evident. The steam created has discharged itself some where and the break gave the shocks. From thence we may proceed as far as we please. Possibly a new land has sprung up somewhere in the ocean, thrown from below by the eX- plosion, possibly there is a new chasm in the bottom of the sea, which will give greater depths than any known. Possibly an area of land has been undermined and will drop into the waters, or has dropped. All of this conjecture, still it is all possible that is the way that our globe, with it's chasms and it's noun 1 tain peaks was formed. The forma ton period was spread over millions of years, when the earth was hotter than it is now, but it is not impossi- 1 ble that changes of an abrupt nature l will take place before our eyes. At | any rate such matters are fascinating l to imagine.

 HONORS TO LOCAL BOYs.

1 War department figures show that
 of the A. E. r. were awarded the Congressional Medal of Honor or the 1 Distinguished Service Cross, the military decorations bestowed by this republic for extraordinary heroism in action. While no Connecticut soldier has been awarded the Con- gressional Medal of Honor, there have been 9S who have been given the D. s. C., out of 8 total of 4,920 for the entire country. Getting nearer home we find that the 9S D. s. C. decorations given to Connecticut soldiers, seven were given to boys who marched out from New, Britain. Thus it appears that 7.1 per cent. of all D. $. C.'s given to Connecticut fighters went to, Hardware City boys. New Britain people have additional reason to feel proud of the achieve ments of their native sons the field of honor when it is explained that in the number of American decorations bestowed in Connecticut, this city ranks fourth. Only Hartford, New Haven and Waterbury. with 15, Is and 12 respectively. exceed this city. And each of these cities is larger than our own home town. New Britain, with it's population around 65.O0O and it's $500 men who entered the serv-
 
 considerably bigger city of Bridge port which also had : D. $. C.'s awarded it's soldiers. And it must also be borne in mind that these figures do not include foreign decora- ton, many of which were given local boys.
 American military decorations re said by authorities to rank the high l est of any country and the Congress ! sionaI Medal of Honor is said to stand i the highest of any possible award. ; Tn England it is the famous Victoria ] Cross that corresponds 10 our Dis | tinGuished Service Cross. The Dis ] tinguished Service Cross and Medol | tI I1OnOE are gwen OnlE Tor bravery ! on the field of action. The Distin- guished Service Medal, often popu- larlv confused with the D. s.
