Sponge, how- ever, is not the animal itclf, but on!- its skeleton, or framework, as it were. That which constitutes the living por- tiou of the animal is removed in pre- paring the sponge lor market. The animal proper covets the framework and is of a jelly like appearance, like that of other low forms of animal life, Various openings and channels allow the i usfage of water through all parts of the mass, and the gelatinous por- ; tion Las microscopic hairs, which are capable of rapid motion, and by their means water is drawn into and forced out of the sponge. When divided the living sponge seems to suffer no incon venieiice, lm". each part sets up on its owu account, lives on as if nothinir had happened, and it becomes two sponges, The best sponge of commerce is " found in the Mediterranean, and is , : know ;i as Turkey or Smyrna sponge ; this is obtained by divers. llabaina . 1,, W.-t.

A clock having "three times more - dial indications nnd more moving -em- j bellishments than any clock on earth," , has recently Ken finished in Coluru- ; bu, Ohio the result of eight years of toil. It is now on exhibition iu Col- umbus, and soon will begin the grand ; tour of the States. From the Colum- ; bus Jur)al the particulars of this re- : maikable structure aie learned. The i maker's design was that it should be : "an embodiment of the great even's of our national history." To begin with, he has supported it by "a ponderous p:ir of eagle claws, draped and band- j ed bv the thirteen original States." It is five feet wide and ten high, and the two si.'es have representations of the two greatest events in Ameiiean history the War of Independence Hall is there, with tiie old crackei lu ll wi',hin the ln-lfry and an old man read v to ring it.

"Where is the drought line?" asks the reader. Draw a lino from Austin, Tex., to Bis mark, D. T., on the Northern Pacific, and ' all west of that line is the drought countty. i Five years out of eight crops will entirely fail west of this line. Last year was an exception to the rule; and this is why so many emigrants are reuturtng too far West this year. The land-sharks are deceiyiDg them, and are pushing a rast army of emi- grants into a famine region." "What makes this region west of the Hundredth Parallel a desert-region ?" 'Because it rains just as much wat.r as there is water evaporated each year. If it rained more water than is evaporated it would run dowu into the ocean, and the land would soon be covered with water. Raius run to the ocean in rivers, aDd tbe ...... . air evaporates tbe water or the ocean and carries it inland.

"Because the air of San Antonio, on the Staked Plains in Tesas aud iu Aiizona, comes up through Mxico. It is dry be fore it starts, It docs not come from the Gulf. Mexico is hot. A perpetual current of hot, dry air blows over Mexico, and fans Arizona, New Mexico, Utah and Coloiado with atmosphere as dry as wind from the Desert of Sahara. This dry air curient , . ... blowing tip from Mexico and Arizona strikes the high mountains in Colorado.
