When I was in Minnesota some time ago, I asked a farmer how hot it got there. "It goes up to MS in summer and down to 40 below in winter," was his reply.

It was first found in 1918 on the edge of a rock 400 feet high, 16 miles inland. Owing to the transport difficulties and lack o^ appliances, it lay for some time where it was first found. Two years ago an endeavor was made to re move it to the coast, where it only recently arrived. On being lowered from its pinnacle it was placed on a big sledge, but owing to its weight it was always breaking the ice. Al though 170 dogs were used to con vey it, the stone was only got to the coast with the greatest difficulty. It is said that there are only two others in the world bigger—one in Amer ica and ope in Great Britain. The new stone is being taken to the Mineralogist museum at Copen MTERARy WORK IS-—-*6<- —*.

The "mine" is in reality a cave —the remains of an old prospecting shaft—and giant icicles, in some in- { stances a foot" thick, form all over the interior The phenomenon is explained by George H. Ashley, Pennsylvania state geologist. Frigid air seeps in to the pyroua rock and soil during the winter and, with the coming of warm weather, enters the cave through the dripping crevices, bringing the temperature below } freezing. * R.c.Min, War Day. The last remaining material vest ages of the sirring Jays of liberty loan driven—thousand* «f surplus badges, buttons and medals which were awarded by th' governnu-nf for meritorious work in the collec tion of war funds—are being eradi cated via the smelting furnaces at the Washington navy yard. After the war these insignia were re turned in vast numbers to the Treas ury department, and the method of disposing of them long has been a ^problem. A p}au finally was evolved to melt them, and it is regarded as likely that some of the metals may be diverted into the channels of the gun factory Mexican City A tea Acs Panuco, a thriving, growing com munity of 10,000 inhabitants in the heart of old and sleepy Mexico, wanted electric lights.
