PHILOSOPHY AT FAuLT.-Brother Dibble, Of
the Grass Valley National, thus explains, on
philosophical principles, the "Strange Phenom-
enon" of which we spoke two or three weeks
ago:
"The breaking out of springs in certain local
ities.of the mountains of California, is always
noticed after the fierce rays of the sun have ceas
ed to produce the rapid evaporation always
late cold spell, the Intensity of the heat had
caused the water from the springs alluded to, to
be converted to vapor so rapidly, that none could
accumulate ON the surface. The recent cool
weather has checked this evaporation, and hence
the breaking out of the springs etc.
That theory seems very plausible; and although
we have not studied Comstock for number of
years, we have no doubt he will, on general prin-
ciples, indorse it. But the point lies here, brother
Dibble: The weather was intensely hot when
these phenomena occurred, and continued so for
eight or ten days afterwards. Besides, in two of
the springs noticed, the same event was never
known to have happened before. The 'cold
spell" could not, therefore, have exerted the in
fuence ascribed to it.
1t does not "always" follow that rapid evapo-
ration dmlnlshes the quantity OF water in springs.
When their sources lie near the surface of the
earth, or their volume of supply traverses re-
gion affected by the heat of local causes, such
may be the fact. More frequently, however, the
sources are deep, and send their aqueous tribute
through subterranean channels where the tenn
perature is uniformly cool; and this is precisely
the reason why spring-water is more palatable
than brook or river water, which has a broader
surface exposed to solary action.

DEATH OF FATHER SLATTERY.-This esti-
mable gentleman and much beloved priest,
who had charge of a Catholic flock at Marys-
vile, died at Sacramento few days ago, of
typhoid pneumonia. He was native of
