For our escapades in a certain Dumfries gar- den which is enchanted land to me, were certainly the genesis of that ue farious work." • - There was at least one person who recognized Barrie's genfue while the Suture dramatist was still at school.

On another occasion the curtain rose on Barrie as a lady and another youth- ful actor as her husband. They were at breakfast,, and the "husband," seized with stage -fright, pulled- the table -cover and all that stood on it to the floor. Barrie rose to the occasion. Putting his arms around the neck of the panic- stricken "husband," he exclaimed: "You clumsy darling!" It would seem that, in gaining .a great playwright, the stage has lost a distinguished and, resourceful actor! But the youthful Barrie's ambitions Seem to have been various. "I gave up becoming a painter for life .only be- cause I always loot my paint'box," he confessed. Tourists Seek in.

The structure of a rock. is a very complicated affair, The elements which compose the rock are first united into a number of minerals. These minerals id turn unite to form the rook. Granite, for exa.Inple, is a mixture of three minerals known as quartz, feldspar and mica. The oxygen, thecarbon dioxide and the water vapor in the atmosphere enter into chemical combination with various minerals found in the different rocks, This action increases the volume' of mineral matter in the rock. As a re- sult strains are set up in the rock and it cracks and .crumbles, justas iron crumbles when it runts. Temperature changes also hasten the decay of the rocks. When the nun shines upon a rock, the outer portion Is heated and expanded. This sets up strains inthe rock whioh •result in large cracks. Temperature changes between clay and night cause expan- sion and contraction of rocks and con- sequent cracking. Certain products formed in rocks as a result :of the chemical action of the atmosphere are soluble in water. Con- sequently when 1t rains • they are dis- solved by the water, leaving the rock in a Porous condition. The mechanical work of the atmos- phere is performed by the winds. The wind blows the particles re- sulting front the decay of the rocks against the rocks themseives, thus wearing them away stili further. The falling rain oleo does a certain amount of meohanical wearing down of the ?Lice. ' ' The wind also serves ae a transpor- tation agent, moving the products of rock decay from one place to another. The transportation of the linest`per- tieles—dust—ie nearly universal. Much dust is carried far out to sea, where itfalls upon the 'water and settles down upon the sea floor. In the great eruption of the Kraka- toa Volcano in the East Indies in 1888, volcanic dust was carried all around the world by the winds in 16 days. The wind also rooves the larger par- tieles .of rock decay known as sand. Except in' the case of severe .wind- etorms, It does not lift the sand into. the atmosphere, but merely moves it along the earth's. surface. As 'a result of this, great sand hills known as dunes are often formed. 'rheas are found along the eastern coast of the United States to -day, and' along certain parts of the coast of Eng- land and continental Europe. Also in tete arid regions of Kansas, Nebraska, Colorado, Wyoming, Arizona and in the Sahara and the vast planes of Cen- tral Asia. Dunes range from 10 to 300 feet Sn. height. Due to the feet' that the wind biiowe tate sand up one slope of the dune and down the other, the dun -es gradually shift their positions where there are strong prevailing winds. Frequently they bury fertile tends and forests"beneath them as they shift their positions. Next Article—The Work of Streams.
