its course through the strlckeu region it
gathers a black cloud of hot, shifliujj
ehti-.I that, ha? blinded ninny an unwary
horse and rider. Under tho glistening
beds of crystalizod rait in places are ruu
uing streams' of salt water, Bsncatli
there is still another bed of salt.
"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. As
far as tho eye can see it appears in curv
ing outllue, up and ifd'wn, as if puffed
by a natural yeast. The unfortunate
animal that steps upon tho little lulls will
crash tluough, for they are not much
tnoro than fragilo crusts,
"Still stranger is that section of tho
valley which, for want of a better name,
colled salt earth. Innumerable pin-
nacloe taperinp; to points as' fine as
needles, and over a foot long, rise in close
array from the ground. They are as hard
as stone and 'as dangerous as sharpened
steel. Beneath and hidden by them are
pitfalls, a tumble into which means a
broken leg or arm. There, too, are the
rich fields of borax, which have lured
many a man to death.
"Dreadful as is Death Valley, its
northwestern arm, Slescuiito Valley, is
worse. AH ot tho water on its surface is
poison. Tlio wind has thrown the sand
Into Immense mounds, one of which is
three miles long and 800 feet high. It
was in this valler that the immicrants
lost their lives. , ; . - .'
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.'"

"It all happened In a moment," said
itho'old man. "The ship struclt a par nf
tlie reef and went down lifco a thunder
bolt, and wo had only thre to jump over
hoard and swim ashore.
"Wo were at tho mouth of Cloudy
Bay, which meant slow masting alive rrt
sobn as the native iot n peep at U3. Wa
wore wet, hungry, and miserable, with
nothing to stay tlu pangij of hunger.
"As daylight dawned I saw a case
slon'ly drifting to shore. Iu a moment
v.' were wading and swimming to secure
the treasure. We had it on thoro in uu
tunes aud prying it open with our fiu'gels
found itllllpd with soap. We bemoaned
our hard luck in emphatic language.
"Cloje round thu case, boys, thoy're
coming!' I shouted, as I ww 50 mop
headed savages armed with spears, bows,
and arrows, rushing toward ui. At 15
yards distance they panted, and their
chief came out to talk with us. I
jjiabbed up an ar.nful .of .the soap tab
lets aud advanced tomerthim. His eye&
h:iied as he taw the amber like cake3
on which1 tlie sun was thtntug. Novel
ties, when thoy take, moan success.
"Going straight up to this man eater I

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

"Whnt?" said tho crowd with one

"Why, a heavy iron hammer. It had
been lett, in thero at Bombay by onn of
the men working on the spar. It was
sealed up and the plates screwed on. As
long as wo had fair weather it was all
right, but when there was a sea on, why
tho old hammer would start out on a

spar was rough and that made the racket,
and when sho fetched up at the end thewi
was a bang. But we didn't hear nary a

"Yes," Jim concluded, "I think so, too,

Prayer, Cold Water, anil Faith.
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. The governor dUl not think it
proper to give permission to Bibii to prac
tice medicine who rolled up smallpox
patients in wet sheets and doeejl them
iwith plenty of water.

Hannah More, if a blue stocking, w oo
not an advocate for women's rights. Iu
1798 she -wrote to Horace Walpolo, " I atn

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

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. " Till was said in view of

More was "invincibly resolved" not to

books have gone out of fashion.
