Profoseor E. H. Harbour, state geologist,
has compiled and printed a eomDrehenlve
history of hla geologlcnl Investigations In
various parta of Nebraska., The lnvestlga
tlona have been carried on at private ex
pense, becauae the office la an honorary
attachment of the university, which did
not receive even postage to pay for volum
inous correspondence until 1899. In that
year the university allowed the geologist
ICOO, and 1250 for each of the three suc
ceeding years. Bums varying from aeveral
hundred to 11,000 a year, contributed by
Charles H. Morril of Lincoln, enabled the
department to prosecute Ita Investigation.
In the volume Just published Prof. Bar
feour says: ,
'Introductory to this work, a private
geological excursion was undertaken In
June of Wl by the writer, in the Interest
Of the University of Nebraska. At this
time the dalmonellx beds of our state
Were discovered and explored and the bad
lands of Nebraska and regions In South
Dakota were visited, the result being that
a very considerable collection was made,
and several new genera and speclea found.
In May of 1892 a second trip (likewise at
private expense) was made to the Hloux
county, bad lands and to the dalmonellx
beds. Again a large amount of material
was secured and added to the collection of
the state museum. At tfiis Juncture Mr.
Merrill proffered liberal contributions for
the prosecution and continuance of the
work. Then followed, during June. July
and August of the aame year, the first of
what has become the annual Morrill geo
logical expeditions.
la the Bad Lands.
"A well equipped party of seven visited
and collected in the bad lands of the state
and the dalmonellx beds, continuing thence
Into Souti Dakota and to the dlnoaaur
beda of Wyoming.
"In 1833, a similar sum given by Mr. Mor
rill made possible the second annual Mor
rill geological expedition, during which
collections were made In the rhlnocerous
beds of Kansas, the Hat creek bad lands,
and the fossil corkscrew beds of Sioux
county.
"During the third annual Morrill geo
logical expedition, 1894, the party drove
from Hot Sprlnga to the big bad landa of
South Dakota, where aome six or eight
weeks were spent: tbenoe to the Black
Hills and beyond Into Wyoming and Mon
tana, the reault of the expedition being the
accumulation of a large amount of ma
terial of great variety, lnoludlng fossils,
minerals, rocks, etc.
"In 1S96 the party constituting the fourth
annual Morrill geological expedition con
tinued work from the dlamonellx beda and
the little bad lands of Nebraska to the big
bad lands of South Dakota and thence to
the Black Hills and beyond. This was the
largest and best equipped party as yet sent
Into the field.
"In ISM the fifth annual Morrill geological
expedition extended Its work to eastern
fields, after spending some time In the
carboniferous of Nebraska.
"In the summer of 1897 the members of
the sixth annual Morrill geological expedl
Uon again visited and colleoted In the big
bad lands of Eouth Dakota, the Black Hills
region, the little bad lands, the dalmonellx
beds, ofyNbraaka and, beyond Into Wyom

The Work at lSee.
"Members of the eighth expedition in Its

of which were provided with teams and
camp accoutrements, the other parties go

of two followed the Dakota cretaceous
from Oklahoma to Bouth Dakota; another
drove through the quarry regions in south-
eastern Nebraska; a third party spent the
summer collecting bryexoa In the oarbonl

collecting Invertebrate fossils In the car

too boxes of excellent material were thus'
added to the collection of the state
museum.
, "In 1900." work, though- qhlefly confined
to the carboniferous area, was extended
beyond the state Into Colorado, Wyoming,
Utah, South Dakota,' Kansas and Iowa,
and a large amount of valuable material
was obtained.
"In 1901 the assistants found the extra
ordinary heat of that summer hard to bear,
and active work was soon suspended. How
ever, the quarries along the Platte from
South Bead eastward were vlelted. Later
In the season the writer made a tour of
the fossil fields and mining regions In
Colorado, Utah and. New Mexloo. The
work of 1902 was confined to restricted
area In the carboniferous. .
"The yours llail and 1903 mark the decline
of the Morrill geological expeditions; for
the simple and sole reason that the state
museum is located In a building particu
larly liable to destruction - by fire, and
hence Mr. Morrill has decided to tempo-,
rarlly withhold his patronage. As It Is,
there Is little Incentive for private cltlsens
to Invest money la expensive cases and
valuable specimens for their state. Such
generous gifts as these, when withheld, are
a loss to any community, especially since

The Earth and the Heavens
Our solar system Is In the Milky Way,
which surrounds us In the form of a great
clrclei but we are neither exactly In Its
median plane nor exactly In Its center.
Furthermore, the Milky Way Is not a
uniform star system, and our sun la not
Its preponderant star.
Everybody knows the Milky Way. all
eyes have admired, during fine summer
nights, the celestial stream, which seems
to traverse the ethereal plains from one
aide of the firmament to the other. This
i starry belt enclrclee the world, and, if our
pUnet were transparent, we should see It
j under our feet as well as over our heads.
The milky aspect, which mythology glori
fied ss drops fallen from Juno's breast as
she suckled the Infant Hercules. Is caused
by an Innumerable quantity of tiny stars,
each of which is too small -to Individually
Impress our retina. An ordinary opera glass
will separate the glow Into stars, and as
the power of the glass Is Increased, the
number of stars perceived Increases pro
portionately. Eyes accustomed to astro
nomical observations resolve the Milky Way
Into agglomerations varying In stellar den
sity, and conveying the Impression that.
far from forming a regular system, such
as our solar system, the Milky Way Is a
figure of perspective produced by the super
position of a countless multitude of stellar
masses scattered at vast distances in a
main plane.
We see the Milky Way divided Into two
uneven branches, between the constellation
of Cygnus and the Soorplon. and torn here
and there into starry shreds. . Our sun Is
not in the center, any more. than Its neigh
bor, the star Alpha of the constellation of
Centaur, forty-one trillion kilometers away,
or our other neighbor, the sixty-first star
of Cygnus, sixty-nine trillion kilometers
away, or ths most of the stars whose
parallax has been determined. The light
from these stars reaches us After a le
years, while trie llgnt irom eiara ra im

thousands of years. To pretend that our
earth Is the center and the reason of crea-
tion is as Irrational ss It would be for a covered there by the telescope, a most In
man. living near what he considers the terestlng fact has been deduced. Almost
center of a city, to declare himself the
center and reason of the said olty. All his
neighbors would have an equal right to the
same opinion about themselves. .
Not only Is our sun no nearer to the
cente r of our sidereal universe than its
neighbors, but It Is not even greater than
they. Alpha of the Centaur Is a splendid
double system whose mass Is over twice
that of our sun, and seen from there, our
their private property, to the state. ' When
fire risks are so apparent. It Is greatly . to
be hoped that the state may soon ' find it
expedient to protect Its valuable 'general
museum and Its agricultural museum In
suitable quarters. Since J9O0 the Morrill
geological expeditions have been self-sustaining
by the sale of several hundred dol
lars' worth of duplicate Specimens.
The Sandhills. r,
"The sandhill region has 'already been
spoken of aa becoming more stable since
Its settlement by the white man. Since
the extermination of the native wild herds
which trampled Its grasses .. and looaeu-Jd
and exposed the sand to the transporting
power of the wind, and the .. expulsion of
the native people, who made a practice
of setting Are to the prairie grasses, the
sandhills have become stable Instead of
shifting as) formerly. They, are completely
grassed over, and some of the beat gracing
and alfalfa land in the state Is In the
heart of the sandhill" country.
"In former times the sana was blown into
hills and ridges, rising in' places to iuo and
00 feet. Aa to the origin of the sandhills,
which cover hundreds of miles, it may be
said that the sand Is derived from tertiary
sandstone, chiefly - that . of - ths Arlkaree.
Since tertiary sandstones are young and
poorly consolidated, and crumble readily
under the action of the weather, they
quickly break down Into sand. In many of
too sand counties, where ths sod U broken
by the plow, the fields are blown away,
as described by the farmers and ranchman,
being literally removed, at least as deep as
plowed.
"It Is commonly reported that eastern
farmers, after moving west. Insist on main
taining eastern methods of cultivation, con
trary, to. the advice of experienced resi
dents. So later they - naturally have re
verses to report. 1
"Properly understood - and - properly
treated, the sandhills are of economic Im
portance, since they are capable of sua
taining great hards, and In addition can be
cultivated so aa to produce forage and
other crops, and have ' many lakes ' and
springs supplying perennial streams for
stock and Irrigation. -.

up the sides of the sandhills, and since It
ls generally reported that water Is' found
within a few feet of the surface and
readUy reached by the deep growing al
falfa roots there Is great expectation of
producing large quantities of this valuable
crop for home consumption and for ship
ment. Gold la Nebraska.
"Native gold occurs In the state In the
sands of the Platte and In the glacial drift,
and several parties Interested . bavs, after
a number of years, panned out a few dol

ever, they are so small and so widely scat
tered that It seems Improbable that the day
can ever come when the gold will be of

gist regrets that it la necessary to report
It in this way, for of 'late strong hopes
have been built on gold mining la Nebraska
and considerable sums sacrificed In devel
oping the work.
"The older residents say that these, geld
excitements have recurred periodically tor
the last thirty-five yeara and it Is stated
on good authority that the gold excite

working ostensibly for the 'development of
mining interests, but really are werklng In

. am quite willing to admit that tne num
ber of stars may not be definite; In fact,
(he two terms contradict one another. No
given number can be definite. Further
more, we can easily fancy one star more
put here or there, one, or ten, or a hun
dred. And Infinity la that to which noth
Ing can be added. But stars must not be
confounded with space, which Is necessarily
without bounds and consequently Infinite..
The agglomeration of atara In which our
aun la situated is not Infinite; it is com
posed of thousands of star-clusters, varying
In density and scattered at various dis
tances. The Immensity which surrounds
Us is . relatively empty, and our sidereal
universe Is composed of a determined num
ber of stars, calculated by Lord Kelvin to
be not much over a billion. But supposing
this to be true, there is nothing to prove
that In Infinity there Is not a second billion
lying beyond a huge space, and then a third
billion, and a fourth, etc. Whatever Ita
extent may be, our Milky Way Is only a
point In Infinity. It would Indeed seem that
we already know stars which do not belong
to our sidereal unlvsrse. For Instance,
there Is one catalogued by Oroombrldge as
NO. 1.830." which moves with a rapidity
which -could scarcely be explained by the
attractive force of our billion stars, and
aeveral astronomers believe this star to
come from without our universe. In spite
of its heterogeneous character, our uni
verse presents the general shape of a
flattened sphere, whose equator Is marked
by the Milky way, and from tne ten tnou-
sand clusters of stars and of nebulae dls-
all clusters of stars are situated In the
plane of the Milky Way, and almost all
clusters of nebulae are far from that plane,
lying toward the poles of the Milky way.
The forces which presided over Its e vol Vi
tion would thus appear to have acted with
more Intensity and with greater activity In
the equatorial sone than In the regions
around the poles, which are less dense In
present and future stars. This Is an Inl

The weight of a growing child Is the
most Important Index to Its general health,
...l. , , " , Kn.
l The standard of weight for growing chil
dren, that usually given by authorities In
the matter, is that at S years of age a
child should weigh about as many pounds
as It Is Inches high. Aa a rule this will
not be much over or under forty pounds.
Children who come of large parents should
weigh something over that. The rate of
Increase should be shout two pounds for
every Inch of growth,' with a tendency for
the weight to exceed this standard pro
portionately rather than to fall below It.
When a child la rather heavier In propor
tion to Its height than this standard It Is
a sign of good health. If the child is
growing rapidly It should not be allowed
to fall much below It without being made
to rest more than has been the custom be
fore. A deficiency of weight In propor
tion to height Is always ' an unfavorable
sign. Any interruption In progress of In
crease of weight, especially during the
continuance of growth, must be a danger
signal that should not be neglected by
those Interested In the patient.

our sidereal universe. If. moreover, you
examine the distribution of stars In the
sky, you will see that their number In
creases gradually on approaching the Milky
Way, although the condensation is not uni
form for either stars or star clusters.
We are, therefore, no more Justified In
claiming preponderance for our sun than In
pretending to occupy the center of our
universe. But, even If we were in the
center, we could not remain there, for our
sun moves toward the constellation of
Hercules and covers a distance equal to
that separating us from Alpha of Centaur
in 65.0H0 years, a short time in the history
of the universe. For geologists, twenty mil
lion years do not make a very long period;
that time will suffice to take us out of the
Milky Way.

clares Itself universal and eternal, and our
plant Is only an island in a celestial archi

Let us bear well In mind that space is
Infinite, having in direction neither right
nor left, neither top nor bottom, having In
time neither beginning nor and. And It Is
before this spectacle of the prodigious and
formidable life of our terrestrial atom. In
spite of its planetary imperfections. Its
absurd reasons. Its devastating cyolones. Its
homicidal volcanoes, its unnutritlve at
mosphere and all these deplorable condi
tions, that some would deny the existence
of life and of thought In the splendid
spheres of. Infinity. It would be as well
to deny the Sun, to deny the Light!
To recapitulate, the result of this study
Is that our planet has no marked
superiority In the solar system; that our
sun does not occupy a preponderant posi
tion In the agglomeration of the millions
and millions of stars which constitute our
sidereal universe, but this sidereal universe,
however vast it may be. Is only a point
In the bosom of boundless infinity, that
there Is no reason why I lllions of other
universes may not exist, vaster and more
wonderful than the one which we know,
and that all our conceptions of life, of
nature, of space and of eternity are but
the impressions of butterflies fluttering In
a ray or sunlight. We live in the relative
and In the unknown, and we see the aerial
scheme of our existence fall away In the
heart of the absolute, limitless, without
beginning and without end. The material
