If the "strength" of candidates fer the

cred Mr. Warden's claims are fair, as
he always commands the full vote of his

The Dodaeville Chronicle Of last week
has m article on Congressional matters
which is worthy of consideration
We agree with the Chronicle that all
discussion of the merits or dement's Of
candidates at this time is premature, and

the field of discussion in the present IN"
stance, iustfeS any public JourhHl or

between the editor and the candidate

not likely THAT any public discassion--ol

Hon. AMAsA Corn has come out
with letter declining to be candidate
for reelection to Congress this fall from

Hazleton is evidently spelling in right
lively for the succession, and the indica-
tons are that his chances are pretty
good for the nomination,
If Col 0. b. Thomas, of Prairie du

Gently read paper in that city. We extract
the following .sa
The changes that have taken place in the
topography of the Western Continent have
affected greatly the animal and vegetable life
of country at that time as beautiful and
fertile as any other. The tertiary deposits
of the eastern portion OF the continent were
marine, and at the Far West also there is
series of tertiary deposits-in California, in
the region of the Sierra Nevada-marine in
character. But in the interior of the conti-
nent is far more interesting series of GER
tain fresh-water deposits-fresh water con-
tanning great number of fossil plants and
the most remarkable series of animal deposits
to be found on this continent east of the
Rocky Mountains. There are two species of
rhinoceros, the elephant, hippine quadrupeds,
the sabre-tooth cat, whose tooth was in one
specimen eight inches beyond the jaw, the
most formidable tooth of any animal of which
we have any knowledge. These deposits of
the West were formed in fresh-water basins,
and yet now there are almost no fresh water
basins in that region.
Some slight idea of the nature of these de-
posits may be formed from the fact that al
most everybody going to California talks about
chalk deposits. Following in the old emigrant
train, you will see various slabs of this chalk
ike oaIlu 5et up loI SrdNc-SyOuob. Iuo5o iu-
fusorial beds are portions Of the fresh water
deposits. On the western side of the Rocky
Mountains the deposits are similar, and are
rich in diatomes. The fauna are interesting.
On the east side of the Rocky Mountains the
tertiary deposits have been but little studied,
although have paid some attention to them.
There are many alterations. The rivers run
through country comparatively level, and
have cut down through the bottom of broad
valleys, forming canons, whose walls are 1900
to 2OO0 feet high, and nearly vertical. The
material entering into the deposits show vol
canic proximity. From them you can get an
idea of the material thrown down in these
ancient lakes. The conclusion of this is that
on all these sides of the Rocky Mountains
there were found extensive sheets of tertiary
deposits full of the most interesting fauna on
this continent. These lakes covered an area
many times greater than our present fresh
water lakes. They characterize time in the
history of this continent when it was exceed
| ingly we'll watered, and contain fauna richer
than any other portion of the world at the
present time, and almost all of them extinct.
The climate indicated by the plants and ami
mails was sub-tropical and fern plants grew
in great abundance from the Upper Missouri
even beyond the British line, and fora Gov
cred all the northern part of the continent, sc
| that men lived and vegetation luxuriated even
in Greenland. Salt Lake represents only 9
| series Of such lakes-anciently fresh, but be
coming salt because of want of drainage. A

THE FRANKLIN INSTITUTE.

The meeting of this association last even
ing was called to order with the president,
Coleman Sellers, in the chair. After the
usual business of minutes, ETC., at the request
of the president, Mr.. Robert Briggs, who had
Just returned from a visit to Europe, gave a
description of several matters he had there
observed interesting to engineers. He spoke
of the improvements in woodworking
machinery, in iron furnaces, with special
reference to stoves and heaters for the hot
blast of gas works, and of the architectural
improvements in Paris, which seemed to
solve some of the most pressing social pro-
bems of the day. His remarks were of great
interest, and were highly applauded.
The resident Secretary then read his report,
which touched upon many interesting topics,
and included description of the reversible
filter of j A. Joseph, and the signal apparatus
of w. w. Cooley and w II. DIETRICH.
letter was then read from Professor
Morton, rendering his resignation, as fol-
lows:-
To the President and Members of the Franklin
Observation-Disclosures Having accepted a position
in distant city, which necessitates my removal
from this vicinity, it is with deep regret that now
tender my resignation Of the Office of resident Sc
and generous support has rendered it great plea
sure to hold. 1t would be impossible To express
adequately my sense of your unvaryng kindness,
but hope by various means to demonstrate in the
future my abiding sense OF the same, and my lively
interest in this venerable and useful society. With
renewed expressions Of my thanks, remain,
Respectfully yours, HENRY MORTON.
Mr.. Robert Briggs moved the acceptance
of this resignation, and in connection with
his motion spoke in the highest terms of
Professor Morton, and of the success of his
administration in the institute and in its
journal, which had now assumed prominent
position both at home and abroad.
Mr.. Hector Orr seconded the motion with
sentiments of regret, and with the best wishes
for the retiring secretary.
The president stated that Professor Morton
had consented to continue his charge of the
journal of the institute, which had met with
such success under his management. Pro-
fessor Morton resignation was then accepted,
and vote of thanks rendered for his SER
vices.
The meeting was then adjourned.
The position accepted by Professor Morton
is that of president of a college of mechanical
engineering, to be erected in Hoboken, op-
posite New York, under an endowment of
$780, 600 by Mr.. Edwin Stevens, late of that
place.
