REMARKABLE PHENoMENoN-Singuar current Of
air ouer The Lake.-We were informed this morning
by the captain of the schooner Traveller, that yesier-
day afternoon, on his passage to this city from'the
Michigan side, while not a breath of air stirred the
water which was perfectly u%nrufied, and clear and
smooth as a mirror, a breeze was constantly blowing
aloft so strong that with her topsails alone set, the
schooner ran seven miles an hour for some hours.
During all this time no breeze was felt on deck, but
on going up the rigging some fifteen feet or more, the
wind could be s~ensibly perceived increasing in vio-
lence higher up, and bending and twisting the top
masts as in a severe gale. The captain said that the
rapid movement through the still water with the lower
canvass useless, and not air enough on deck, and at
the same time the upper sails filed and strained TO
their uimos, capacity, was singular beyond descrip-
ton. This is certainly a remarkable phenomenon,
such as very seldom occurs on land or water. 1t will
be remembered that at the same time a strong wind
from the east was blowing here. -Maleaukie paper.

The beautiful plan proposed by some of the western

specializing, of making the Ohio river navigable at all

has been prematurely spoiled by a philosopher in the

is about two hundred and ~sixty-fve feet above the lev

SINKING OF L~AND-SJmet twenty miles below Ocala,
the land for a considerable distance has been gradual
~ sinking for a length of time; in places, the tops of
the tall pines have entirely disappeared, and the
chrystal streams now flow where once the red mans
knife glittered in the morning beams, and the startled
buck bounded in fear at the crack of his rifle. The
water has usnrped the land: the prancing barb moves
off for the light canoe; the stately oak humbles to
aqueous secretions, aud the wild game seek other COW
erts TO make room for their fnny victors. But this is
a Florida popularity, and is daily illustrated in some
one or other part IF the peninsula. The country is
continually sinking; no elevations are formed, save by
the depression Of a stretch of land; our annals record
no earthquakes. no agitaiions of nature TO create a
mountain, or even a simple hillock; the subterranean
conducts. with their swift and ceaseless currents. are
ever wearing away the soil, and the crusty surface,
unable to sustain its forest burden. plunges with the
mass TO unknown depths and abysses below.-FIOrida

The METHODIST CHURCH PROPERTY QUEsTioN.-Wo
learn that the Methodist Episcopal Church South, have,
after some delay, commenced legal proceedings for the
recovery Of what they claim as their share of the
Church property, according to the terms of the ''plrn
of separation naturally agreed TO by the North and
South Mt the General Conference of 1914, but after
ward declared TO be unconstitutional by the Northern
Church, at the General Conference in 1913. The
gentleman empowered to conduct the suit-Rev DR..
Bascom and others-have caused a writ to be served
on the trustees of the chartered fund of the church,
returnable Of the July term of the United States Court
Of The Eastern District of Pennsylvania. 1t seems
probable that the second reference of the matter by
the Church North to its annual conferences will result
more favorable than the first, and that the desire 10
arbitra,e the difficulty will be generally expressed,
and the South probably design only to be ready to
prosecute their claims in case of a second failure of the
annual conferences to authorize an amicable ADJUST
ment.-N. Y. Com.
