A Useful Leg.
in rV,a lininari horiv. at lo&Ht. art never
replaces nature with better work, but
when false teeth refuse to ache and
wooden legs save men from drowning
one is tempted to make some exceptions.
An Alabama duck hunter had a curious
adventure one day while on the water
in a skiff. He had lost a leg in a rail
road accident and wore a cork substi
tute, UBcfnl for ordinary purposes, but
preventing him from following game ex
cept in a boat.
On this occasion, as he was an expert
markBman, he had almost loaded the
skiff with ducks when, in reaching after
a particularly tine uira, ne overreacneu
and upset the boat.
Down went the mras, the gun ana me
hunter, and as there wbb a swift current
at that point the boat drifted away be
fore he came to the surface. Being un
able to swim, the hunter clutched wild
ly for a Bupport, but found none, and
would certainly have been drowned had
it not been for his cork leg.
It kept him afloat, and at first he was
overjoyed; then he became apprehen
sive. The cork leg had a tendency to
invert him in the water, but after strug
gling against this for some time he
managed to unstrap the umii ana use it
as a float.
It was then ensy to paddle ashore, and
the hunter was saved, although helOBt
nearly everything else but his life.

What tirumllns Are.
Professor Barton of the Institute of
Technology gave a half hour talk before

is only within r. lew years that any ex
tended research has been made into the
history of drumlms. Xne investigations
in this state have been conducted largely
by Professor Barton himself. A drum-
lin. as the speaker explained, is a mouna
of material projecting upward from the
surface of the earth to a sufficient height
to be called a bill. Tins mound or hill
is made from loose bits of earth and
rocks torn from ledges at the time some

this vast sheet moved off to the south

earth and small fragments of rock,
which were deposited m vaueys or neap
ed into drumlins.
The reason for the depositing of the
matter in valleys is an easy one to ex
plain, but how it came to be Spiled into
hills has never yet been discovered. The
