DISCUSSION. 



While reading- his papei' ^Ir. Clark made the follow'm:- eom- 

 nients : 



(1) Of course the cui'rent of watei' ^U)v< thai. 



{'D I would say that tlie fuiiuus or hunche(| e,i:',i:s will not 

 settle. That jar has run tliis winter, and thei'e was not a sin^iie

 nianv v(\ars we hav(^ been working our wdiitehsh eggs too much, 

 even in any jar. I don't care whether it is the Chase jar. Down-
