"In'bther parts of tho valley are wastrs of hot sand drawn iu some places into high ihbunds by- the whirling blasts that sweep down the canyon,- There, too, is the most curious earth I have over seen self rising earth it has been called.

Professor Merriam's party is working for tho Department of Agriculture, which ptdpOBoa to mark off into' zones all tho great AVestern country. The idea is to, inform settlers as to what will 'grow in each'Jone, and as to what will not grow. 'Weliate found,' said Professor M., 'that in certain zones Ccrtaki flora and fauna flourish. Each zone has its pecul iar tpecies which will not flourish in' others. These fcones are both horizontal and vertical. The party chose the deso lute region of Death Valley for its labors, for from it and not far distant can be traced the seven zones wo have estab lished. "'Death Valley,' he continued, 'not withstanding its barren elements, has many phases of life. It has 80 or iO species of animals and fully as many o vegetable growth. ' ' 'Many theories have been advanced to account for tho formation of Death Valley. I think it quite probable that it was once the sink of the Mojave, Iitver.'" - ft . Took a Clmmpiigriie' Itatli.

To the North Pole liy Balloon. The solution of that fascinating prob lem, whether thero is water, land, or ico at the North Pole, is again about to be attempted, and In a very novel way. An.aerial expedition is now being organ ized by two young Frenchmen, by name M. Besoncon and M, Gustavo Hermito, tho latter a nephew of M, Charles Hcr mite of tlie institute, and these daring explorers are having an elaborate airship or balloon built, in which they hopo to inako an ascension which will carry them across the territory where that tantaliz ingly remote and inaccessible bourne, tho North Pole, is located. The balloon is to to be called the "givel," and will be in flated with puro hydrogen, and will ho connected with four ballons pilots, or pilot balloons, arid 10 small balloons, for storage ot gad, to make up any loss from tlio great balloon. The envelope of the latter wilt consist of China silk in 48 pieces or gores, in form a perfect sphore, aud is to bo provided with a. small in terior balloon, or nir pocket, the object of which is to keop tho exterior balloon r.lways completely inflated and under an equal prcssuro. Tlio basket of tho baUoop, made of wicker with a steel framework, Insuring al soluto rigidity, will bo closed over and inado impermeable to water, like a boat. Its interior will ba padded, sp as to keep lip a comfortable tmnperaturo in a cham ber occupied by thu.aeronauta. Tho bas ket will bo made unsiukable, and will be about four yards wido and fivo mid a halt loug. It will carry, besides tlio two explorers nnd their three assist iiuts, eight dogs, a tdedge, tf small canoe, mid pryvinious fur dogs, aud men for 80 days. The oxplnixiM willleavo some port i.i France, accompanied by two steam vessels carrying, the. apparatus for the production of the hydrogen necessary to iiulato tho Utllnou. .-They will leave in M.iy-to arrive !ln lipil.bergen in July, vero' llisy ;viU make tho ascension iw.noou jis' tln wludi are favorable, JiupJiia; to laud-again, in from four to ten u.'.v. iti N$itJ) America or northern A.o, phasing tho .Norm Polo en route, It v, .11 not be tlhtil .May, 18U2. that the prp;iiiratlons will If) alL completed; butit not Boem at all likely that tho bold i , 't.ch explorers' w.'ll bu forestalled by !.. . r.ie iu arriving the frozen un Luu.. i. land they hupi?

The sect of Illuminated Apostles has bepn increasing considerably in Spain. They claim to have power to heal tho sick by prayer and the application of cold water. 'Some of them wero recently ar rested in Madrid, but wcro subsequently discharged. Several of them then called upon the local authorities, and asked that their sect be officially recognized as a legally constituted association. The spokesman ef tho party, a venerable looking man with a long white beard, said that they derivod their doctrines from the writings of the Evangelists, nnd wero Christian apostles. All they asked was to bo allowed to preach their doc trines and to euro tho sick. "Have you any diploma entitling you to practice medicine?" asked the governor. Tho old apostle replied that they had a Divine diplomahat could not be questioned, and that wds better than any diploma that a human being could give. He would give an instance of a cure that they had made, and how they practiced on an old woman who had the smallpox and was given up by the regular physicians. Tho apostles took her in baud, prayed over her, told her and her relatives to trust in God, to mako her drink plenty of water, cat well, and roll her up in wet sheets. And tho old woman got well. Tho apostles added that thoy had estnbhJu'd congregations of tholr sect in 89 prov inces.

Ilannall Blore'a ConfeMloti. Hannah More, if a blue stocking, w oo not an advocate for women's rights. Iu 1798 she -wrote to Horace Walpolo, " I atn sure I have as much liberty as I can make-good use of, now I am an old maid : and when I was a young one I liad, I dai a say, more than was good for me. If I were still young (shs was then 48) per haps I should not make this confession. So many women are fondof govern ment, I suppose because they are uot fit for it. To be unstable and capricious is but too characteristic of our sex, and there is perhaps no iiiirtoal so much in debted to subordination for its good be havior as woman. I have soberly and uni' mly maintained this doctrine ever since I have been capable of oUterwition, both from what I felt at homo and havo seen abroad.
