Auditors Threaten School Board, The auditors of Gregg township and the school board are at loggerheads, and from reports received here have threatened to surcharge the school board. The trouble appears to have originated over the purchase of school supplies, late in the school year, which, it is claimed by the auditors, according to the Reporter’s informant, were excessive in price in the minds of the auditors. The auditors also refused to accept the accounts of the overseers of the poor and those of the supervisors claiming that the statements rendered were incomplete. It appeurs that the auditors are in- ments, rather than to insinuate that the accounts are incorrect or irregular. Aaronsburg, George E.

There Is no craft so ditheult to han dle as the Eskimo kayak. The boat famillar to us which In any way resembles It Is the racing shell, but if a crack oarsman of one of our crack colleges were tiled Into a kayak aud told to shift for himself even in smooth water he would have a hard thoe of it, The kayak has been evolved through hundreds of years of necessity. With. out it the Greenland Eskimos at least would not be able to provide their dally bread, or thelr dall: It Is slaguiar that all the materials used In the coustruction of the kayak come from the sea-—driftwood for the frame, sealskin for the covering, thongs for the harpoon and dart, ivory and bone for bow, stern and keel and for the various implements. The wom- en prepare the skin covering and stretch It over the frame till it is as tight and firm as the head of a drum. On such there Is great ex- citement In the community A regular “kayak bee” is held; even refreshments are not lacking, for the owner of the kayak treats to coffee all aronnd when the work Is satisfactorily done. The compieted boat Is a triumph of ingenuity and skill, It is about elght- een feet long, sharply pointed at each end. Its greatest depth is six Inches and width about eighteen. It Is entirely covered save for the little round hole into which the owner slips pushing his feet underneath the skin deck In front. This hole is fitted to the person for whom the boat Is designed, and his thighs completely fill it up. When he Is seated in it and his waterproof Jacket Is tied securely round the edge he Is able to defy the waves which wash over him or the rain which beats upon him. The six thong loops ar- ranged on the deck In front and the three or four behind hold his Imple- ments—bird darts, lances, and, most important of all, his harpoon. A Httle stand Is arranged directly in front of him, upon which Is colled the har- poon ine, and him on the kayak Is the harpoon bladder, which is attached, Inflated ready for to the line The most expert are apt sometimes to be overturned. It may be by the attack of a walrus or even a seal, by a careless movement or an unexpected Iy large wave. If he does not right himself at onee, he is Inevitably drown- ed unless a comrade comes to his as- sistance. The usual method of turning the kayak upright again Is by using the paddle as a lever, holding it slong the side of the boat, pointing It towanl the bow, then sweeping it through the water, but those who are thoroughly proficient are able to do it by means of their throwing stick. thelr arm or even thelr hand only tore properly speaking, biubber occasion its knives behind tae, The Earth and the Moon, As the original earth nebula densed the lighter materials were tributed quite uniformly over the tire surface, but these are now lug from one hemisphere, the re seeming to be, ag Professor G. H wis demonstrated In 1879, that tion of the earth's crust has thrown off by tidal action, forming the moon. The surface density of the present continents is about 27. the mean density of the moon appearing to be 3.4, or not far from that of the missing continents to the depth reack- ed. The moon, it Is computed, equais 8 mass having the surface area of the terrestrial oceans and a depth of thir ty-six miles, and It Is concluded that the crust when thirty-six miles thick must have been torn away over three fourths of the earth, the remainder breaking apart to forin the eastern and western continents, with Australia and other islands. These continéntal and island fragments floated like great ice floes on liguld materials of a density of 37 or more. This great rupture gave the earth's surface its chief irreg- ularities, with a mean difference of three miles between the levels of the continental plateaus and the ocean beds, and as the water condensed in the cooling depressions, with the Pa cific where most of the moon had been, the dry land was formed that has made human life possible. We may consider that without this change the earth would be now in the condi: tion of Venus, with water over its whole surface. The Oldest Forenams. In ancient times people had one name only, as Adam or David, and In order to distinguish persons of the same name it was the custom to affix the description “som of” Isaac or Jo- seph, as the case might be. Thus we get Solomon ben David among the Hebrews and Evan ap Richard among the Welsh, to quote two examples. Al though the argument that those names were not strictly “forenames” is not without weight, yet It Is responsible to accept them as such, seeing that the application had to be supplemented by another for the sake of distinction. We are therefore entitled to include them within the scope of the question. Adam and other early Biblical names are regarded as the oldest for obvious reasons; but, excluding these, the cholce falls upon Marmaduke, which is the modern rendering of the anclent Chaldean Meridug, also written Maru. duk and Merodach, the god who inter On dis en iss [RON Dar a por- been — I \ INANCIAL BTATEMENT of Cent Hai Behool District for year ending Pane" NO.
