that it will readily form precipitates 
with copper, cadmium and arsenic. 
Following the shore to Smith’s 
Point past Singing Beach a large 
number of dykes and indentures are 
found. Some of the trap is jet black, 
again it is porphyritic, and in one 
large vein near Lobster Cove it is a 
beautiful olive green, shading into the 
color of precious serpentine. No- 
where along the coast can be seen a 
better illustration of weathering. The 
waves pound this headland with un- 
known momentum, and the ledges 
are rent with fissures, honeycombed 
and broken into massive fragments 
* which in turn grind themselves into 
powder in their mad efforts to resist 
the coming tides. Here is where the 
sand of Singing: Beach is made, and 
here the student may in a short time 
actually measure weathering. In 
winter these crevices fill with water, 
freeze, expand and heave out masses 
of new material] for the summer tides 
to work into sand. Just back of Lob- 
ster Cove is a small pond of brackish 
water, which was formerly a part of 
the sea, but has been shut off from it 
by a wave-formed sana-bank. 
From the large number of glacier 
deposited mounds and small plateaus 
of unstratified drift material we may 
infer that Cape Ann in pre-glacial 
time was a bold, rugged promontory 
of coarse granite, frequently seamed 
with molten matter, which was 
pushed up through the broken strata 
in some great convulsion, and that 
over this wild and desolate stretch of 
metamorphic rock the tides ebbed 
and flowed, unchecked by banks of 
earth, save a narrow rim of sand, 
upon which grew little or no vegeta- 
tion except some cryptogamic forms 
which could not bind the sand to- 
gether and hold in check the spring 
tides. The major part of the material 
now covering the stratified rock of 
Cape Ann was rent from distant 
cliffs, pulverized and brought hither 
by the glacier, and many of the boul- 
ders traveled from the Granite Hills.

Hospital Circus 
The society circus for the benefit of 
the Beverly hospital was one of the 
greatest successes of the season both 
as a society event and as a financial 
benefit. 
Four performances were given on 
the evenings of Monday, Tuesday and 
Wednesday and on Wednesday after- 
noon. The tents were crowded at 
every performance by the smartest 
people of Beverly and many of the 
shore people were in evidence. 
The performance itself was well 
worth seeing. All sorts of laughs 
were handed out by the performers as 
they went through their thrilling gym- 
nastic feats, and their clever bare-back 
performances. 
The feats of strength performed by 
Roland W. Boyden were nothing short 
of marvellous and provoked unstinted 
applause. The antics of the clowns 
were mirth-provoking to a high degree. 
Taken all through it was a thoroughly 
up-to-date performance in every re- 
spect and had Adam Forepaugh or 
the Ringling brothers been present 
they would have realized that they 
were no longer at the head of the 
greatest shows on earth. Not a 
single feature incident to the best cir- 
cuses was absent, not even the venders 
of pink lemonade, peanuts and pop- 
corn. 
‘“Mel’’ Woodbury in his great act 
of separating people from their dimes 
was alone worth the money. He was 
all to the good. In his great act, Mr. 
Woodbury was assisted by Albert 
Boyden, Thomas F. Delaney, W. L. 
Maloon, Guy Richards and A. S. 
Hoogs. 
In the big tent the show was all 
that could be desired. The profes- 
sional numbers were all of a high 
order and the amateur performances 
were carried out ina style that brought 
roars of laughter from the large 
audiences that assembled each night. 
Each night the tents were crowded 
and Jarge numbers of shore people 
drove up from Beverly Farms, Prides 
Crossing, Manchester-by-the-sea and 
even from Magnolia. The streets in 
the neighborhood of the common were 
lined with fine hitches and big autos 
at every performance. 
Among the amateur talent who 
contributed much to the success of 
the circus were the following : —Hugh 
P. Morgan, Allison E. Cook, Miss 
Myrtle J. Prescott, Miss Annie E. 
Cook in a fencing exhibition; Ruel 
Pope, Guy Maloun, Joseph H. Wil- 
liams, Dudley Griffin, Robert Robert- 
son, jr., and C. Archie Herrick in a 
wonderful equestrian act ; Roland W. 
Boyden, Howard Bernard, Fred Snow, 
and Howard Hersey; Frederick H. 
Prince, jr., and Nat Simpkins, 2d, of
