M teoi-ites in Kansas. 
PROF. Cragiii. of Washburn College 
has returned from Kiowa County, 
and is much elated over the success of 
his trip, he having brought back with 
him the fragments of a rare and valu- 
able meteorite, tlie largest known to 
liave ever fallen in Kansas. Tlie larg- 
est piece is about the size of a small 
Kansas pumpkin, and weigiis 40fi 
pounds; tlie next peice is about tlie siza 
i of a fair-sized Kansas sweet potato, 
j and weighs 350 pounds. A few hotirs 
I after Prof . Cragiii had concluded nego- 
! tiations, a professor of geology , repre- 
j sentiiig ail e;istern college, arrived on 
j the ground , and not knowing of the 
completion of the transaction, offered 
the gentleman on whose farm it was 
I found a liigli price for a portion of the 
i meteorite. There was in all about 1, 
I 300 or 1.400 pounds, and of this Wash- 
I bui n College gets between 1.000 and 
j ] ,200 pounds, some portions of it liav- 
I iiiglieen previously carried oft. — E.r. 
The Largest Bbiek of (granite in 
llie World. 
THE Rockland Opinion, claims that 
the granite shaft recently (luar- 
ried by the Bodwell Granite Co. in Vi- 
na lliaveii, is the largest mass of stone 
e\ er quarried on the earth, and if erect- 
ed will be the liigliest, largest and 
heaviest single piece of stone now 
standing, or that ever stood so far as 
there is any record. 
[t cousideralily exceeds in length any 
of 1 he Egyptian obelisks. Tlw tallest 
of tliese. Ax hicli was brought from Heli- 
opolis to Alexandra, by Emperor Con- 
slantine, and sul)seqneiit]y taken to 
Rome, where it now stands, is 105 feet 
7 inches liigli. The ^''inalhaven shaft 
is 115 feet long, 10 feet square at the 
liase, and weighs 850 tiuis. The Opin- 
ou understands that the company 
(piarried this immense monolith on 
tlieirown aec(Uiut, having no order for 
any tiling of the kind, and suggests 
tliat it \-\(Mild be a fitting contribution 
from Maine for the monument to Grn.

'I'he Scientific view of linman perfec-

and truly sane intelligence, whose im- 
mensity none <'an coiicieve. whose i)ower 
none can nnMsure, whose greatness none 
can coinpiehi nil ;all space His heaven. all 
energy His existence, all thought His

solnmn te:udiing ivljites, the benefits of 
goodness of life, the miseries which 
sjiring from evil. She traces diseases 
which descend from generation to gener- 
ation li-dui evil : she reads the story of in- 
boi n evil in the face, the build, the char-
