A REMARKABLE DIscOvERY.-By many
it was held as theory that tho Yuma desert
was once an ocean bed. At intervals pools
of salt water have stood for while in the
midst of the surrounding waste of sand,
disappearing only to rise again in the same
or other localities. A short time since one
of these disappeared, and q party OF Indians
reported the discovery of ''b;g ship" left
by the rcceding waters. A party of Ameri
cans then proceeded to the spot and found
imbedtcd in the sands the wreck of large
vessel. Nearly onc-third of the forward
part of tho ship or bark is plainly visible.
The stump of the bowsprit remains and
portions Of the timbcrs of teak are perfect.
The wreck is located north of the San bar-
nardino and Fort Yuma road, and thirty
miles west of Los Palmos, we'll known
watering place on the desert. The road
across tho desert has been travelled for more
than one hundred years. The history of
the ll-fated vessel can, Of course, never be
known, but the discovery Of its decaying
timbcrs in the midst Of what has long been
a desert will furnish food for discussion,
and may, perhaps, furnish important aid in
the elucdation Of questions of SCIENCE

THE PENITENTIAkE.

A month earlier than required by contract
Mr.. McB;rney has completed the One Wing
Of the Montana Pcnitcntiary ordered built
and delivered the keys TO Superintendent
Mitchell With many others familiar with
the specifications, we have noted the pro-
grrss of the building from commencement
until its completion. and believe the contract
to be faithfully fulfilled in every particular,
and the work such rs any Builder would be
proud Of. The outer walls arc massive
stone. the doors of iron, gratings on the
lower windows, granite hoors to the cells,
brick laid corridors. strong locks anL bolts
And yet it is not 50 secure prison rs our
County Jail. A prisoner confined in u cell
could, with the aid Of \ pen knife, should
he escape the vigilance of the guard for two
hours. get outside the penitentiary. The
reason Of this is. the cells arc of brick with
tlucs ia the walls. These could be easily
displaced. and tho prisoner reach the cor
ridor. The upper half Of the windows
have no grstings and work with pulleys.
TIE lower windows aad grating would sf-
ford " ladder to reacl, the upper windows.
and in fivc minutes time hc could reach the
outside. Both those things are ovcrs,ghts in
the department.. GIatinys on the upper
half windows would bc partial remedy,
hut perfect security requires that the brick
cells Uc lined with iron. Again: In its
present condition there arc no facilities for
taking care of prisoners. There are hues.
but ITO furnaces. There is no place to cook
food, 10 quarters for the Warden or assis
lants; no oii!cc-not even temporary build
inss. All these things are provided for in
the middle building. not yet constructed, not
yet ordered. aud for which there is not yet
any appropriation. Gov. Potts las inspect.
I'd the building; Mr.. Cavansugh will when
here, and We arc satisfied their recommcn.
d"tious will be in accordance with defects
We have stated, and the requirements conse.
quent. If the Penitcntiary is to bc used
this winter, temporary buildings are essen.
tial, md ut as early u day ss practicable the
cells should be lined, windows grated, ard
the central bu;llin: constructed.
There seems to be IN unnecessary delay,
as it certainly is \ vcxatious O.lc, ut Wash.

I'd by the Secretary of the Interior, and or
!rrs issued on the Treasury. And yet Mr.
McBirney has received only 81 500. although,
the appropriation has been made nearly
three years. This bears severely on him,
and as it is wi,l,ou: excuse, Mr. Boutwell,
should infuse little more promptpcss into
