The yvestern rrairies.

Beyond the wooded chains ofthe Rocky Monnthins, we enter the great Western Prai,ies The mountains disappear en> tirely, though the surface is still several thousand feet above the ses level. Roll. ing plains descend in long, smooth ter. races towards the Mississippi. in the south; and towards the region of the northern lakes and oi the arctic plains. Deep valleys of denudation funow them from west to east. and lead the water from the mountains to the Mississippi, Ghe Saskatchewan, and the Mackenzie River. The western prsiries. properly 50 called. between the monntains cf Texas and tho sources of the Missouri. are, for the most part. dep,ived of all ar- borescent vegetation; but peculiar kind of grass. short and nutfiiiye, the Buffalo grass. as 1t is called. affords abundsn. food to the numerous herds of bisons which roam in those vast wilderneases. In the southern angle of the prairie re- gioa. in the neighborhood of the subtro- pical latitndes. the height Of ihe moun> tain chains in tho west prevents the west. cru sen winds from reaching the plains, while those from the Gulf Of Mexico pass to the east of them hence their dryness and almost total want of vegetation. This is tie so called American Desert. North Of the Missouri the plains are lower. the forests reappear here and there. and soon cover the wEole ground. Th:y already

A singular discovery has lately been
 made near Bat.en. in Java, of poison
 ed valley. MT. Alexandsr Louden visi.
 ted il last July, and we extracs para.
 graPh from . communication on the
 subject. addressed by him to the Royal
 Geographical Society: It is known by ahs name of Gusys Upas or Poisoned Valley; and follow.
 ing , path which had hesn naade sor sh. purpose. the party shos.ls ssachsd [
 with a conple of dogs and fowls. for shs
 purposs Of making experiments. On
 arF.yingak the mountains the party dis
 mounted and scrambled up the eide Q a bill. adistance of . quarter of mile,
 with the assistance of the branches oI trees and projecting roois. When fen yards from tie valley. . strong. nause- ous and snffocating smell vas experien- ced. but on approaching the margin, this inconven fence was no longer found. The valley is about half mile in circumfer- enee, of an oval shape, and about thirty feet in depth. The bottom of it ap. peared to be fat, without any vegeta- tiou, and few large stones scattered aruond. Skeletons of human beings. ii gers. deer, and all sorts of birds and wild animals lay about in profusicn. The ground on which they lay, ss the bottom of the valley, appeared to be . hard. sandy substance. and no yapor was per. sceised. The sides were covered wlth vegetation. IL was now proposed to enter it. and each of the party havinn .lis 2 cigar. managed to get within lwens tY feet Of the bottom. where . sickening, nanseous emell sas experienced wishout any difficulty of breathing. Adog was nov fastened to the end of bamboo and thrust to the bottom ofahe valley. while some of the party. with sheir watches in their hands observed tho el. fecia. At the expiration of fourteen seconds the dog fell of his legs, without moving or looking around. and continued alive only eighteen minutes. The other dog now left the party and went to his companion; on reaching him he was ob- served to stand quite mo,ionless. and al the end of ten seconds tell down;he nev. 1er moved his limbs after, and lived only seven minutes. A fowl aaa now lhsawn Iin which died ia . minute and q quarter, and another. which was thrown after 1t, died in the space of q minnte and q .halE A heavy shower of rain tell during .iEe time that these experiments ware going forward which. from the interes- ting nature of the experiments. vas quite disrcgarded. On tho opposite side of tho valley 10 that which we visited. lay humsn skeleton. the head resting on the right arm. The effect of the weather had blsrched the bones as white as ivory. This was probably the remains of some wretched rebel. hunted toward the valley. and taking shelter unconscious of it's character.
