It is curious that the Fourth of July hoo become the American day of cele bration, since it wns on July U that coiitfress passed the really Important i motion tor Independence, and the Fourth only saw the adoption of the Declaration. John Adams wrote to hl3 wife: "The 2d day of July. 17TC. will bo the most memorable epoch in the ' history of America. I ntn.npt to be lieve that It will be celebrated by suc ceeding generations as the great anni versary festival. It ought to be com memornted as the day of deliverance by solemn acts of devotion to God Al mighty. It ought to be solemnized with pomp and parade, with shows, games, sports, guns, befls. bonfires and Illuminations from one end of this con tinent to the other from this time for ward for evermore." But they do it on the Fourth. London Chronicle How Loch Awe Was Formed. Highland tradition gives n quaint ex planation of tho creation of Loch Awe. that noble mirror of the mountains in tho magnificent scenery of Argyllshire. The bed of tho loch wns once, It Is said, a fertile valley, with n fairy spring, which had nlwnys to be kept covered, bubbling from the mountain side. A careless girl, however, hav ing drawn water, forgot to recover tho well. All through tho night tho spring flowed, and by the morning Loch Awe had come into being. No one need re gret the carelessness of that highland lassie. Loch Awe is now ono or the most exquisite of beauty spots in Great Britain a charming sheet of water, studded with pretty islands, while around tho shores are many places as sociated with interesting legends and historic Incidents of the highlands.

Tho first quantita tive obervntlons-that is. the meas urement of rain- were mnde In the first century A. D. These were made In Palestine, and their results nro pre served In the Mlshnah. Salt In tho Coffin. In ret tu in localities in tho old world they put salt In the colli n before it Is lowered Into the gn.ve.
