which they prepared themselves to exc

A STARTLING THEORY.-We hate To be
cippered out of existence, even to con
firm the Instability of science, and some
times blindly prefer to believe that
figures will lie. Now is good time to
use our negative credulity Alphonse
Ademar, a celebrated mathematician,
starts a theory that the earth is covered
by a Celuge once in 10 500 years, on the
following calculations: During the cycle
one pole Of the earth enjoys seven days
more sunshine than the other, and at
present we have seven more days in the
Northern hemisphere than the Southern,
which means two hundred years of freez-
ing at one pole against two hundred
years of melting at the other. The
effect of this is to form such an immense
mass of ice at the less fa vored end of the
globe as to change the form of the planet
and displace its gravity for a league or
so. This displacement draws to the ice
bound region almost all the seas and
oceans, and eventually causes q change
in the oscillation of the earth, so as to
reverse the order of things and bring
the greater power of the sun upon the
frozen region. Then suddenly az the
pentup waters in an Alpine valley burst
their barriers and destroy o village so
this gigantic polar glacier by it's disrup-
ton overwhelms hemisphere. AS
proof of this theory, he points to the
effects of the last or Noal's food, and
reckoning from the accepted date of that,
the next will be upon US In the year
1864 A. ID. We are not personally inter
ested, of course, unless it should occur
about resurrection time, but we are sup
posed to have little consideration for
our descendants Spriag5ieN Republican.

THE FIRST NEWSPAPER IN AMERICA

mems" we find that the first attempt tC
set up a newspaper in North America, SC
far as can be ascertained from existing
records or from tradition, was made 10
Boston in the year 1890. Only one cnpy
is known to be in existence, and this is
deposited in the state paper office in
Tendon
Number one of this paper and proba
bly, the only number ever published, is
dated September 25 1900 immediately
on its publication, the Legislative authori-
ties spoke Of it as pamphlet, stated that
it was art contrary to law, and contained
reflections Of very high nature.
They strictly forbade anything in print
without license first obtained from those
appointed by the government to grant
the same" The paper was printed by
Richard Pierce for Benjamin Harris Mr.
Pierce is said to have been the fifth per
son who carried on the printing business
in Boston.
Benjamin Harris, who was the propri.
etor of this paper. had printing house
in Boston, in 1922 and 1894 printed the
acts and laws of Massachusetts, and was
printer to his Excellency the Governor,
and CoNncil" Harris's commission to
print the laws was in the following
words:
"By his ExcelIency-I order Benjamin

THE UPPER YELLOWSTONE-A
WONDERFUL COUNTRY.

From a letter just received by Prof.
Henry, Secretary of the Smithsonian In
stitute, from H. W. Elliot, artist of Hay
den's exploring expedition, we make the
following extract:
L now turn to the wonderful falls,
though conscious of my inability to pic.
ture them. They are a broad, evenly
deep sheet Of clear ice water, leapipg
down at one bound from it's ledge four
hundred and fifty feet, nnbr0ken by any
rocky point Or cascade turning a snowy
column, the waters pausing IN the pool
where they alight for moment, as if
stunned and taking breath before they
rush headlong away down the deep
windings of the canon. The spray and
mist rise a hundred feet in clouds and
columns above the pool, and by their con
dqpsatlon and precipitation have reared
up quite beautiful grass plot way down
there on the falls. Nowhere else below,
with the exception of the marginals Of
the springs in few cases, does anything
appear to grow on the bare hot face Of
the rocks. The river at the brink of the
fall is about ninety feet in width, and
about five feet deep at this season of the
year. Less than half mile above are
the Upper Fails, one hundred and fifty
feet high, and very handsome. From
the falls on our way to the lake we pass
cd over an extremely interesting region
Interspersed with boiling sulphur springs
and muddy bubble pots or pufs. One E t
these mud springs bols up at intervals
OF every five or six hours, playing out
hn H1i1 20
height of thirteen to twenty five feet
from ten to twenty minutes
The wonderful geysvrs Of the fire hole
basin, at the neadwaters of the Madison,
IN magnitude aid extent IF area, reduce
those or Iceland to utter insigniicance. I
have stood by q crater, and have seen a
column of hot (boiing) water six feet in
diameter, ascend with single bound,
vertically, to height of 600 feet--pause
there tor an instant, and fall to It's slici
he'd basin in thousand watery streams
and million prismatic drops. This was
repeated ten or fifteen minutes, then all
would be quiet; the water of the clBtern
becomes as still as that Of a milt pond,
and apparently as inactive. Tho geyser,
which is one of many, we named the
Grand 1t plays at irregular intervals
of "a to 80 hours, for from 10 to 90 minu-
ties. Another, named by Deane "Old
Faithful" plays at intervals of only an
hour apart, throwing up an immense
steady column to an elevation of $50
feet. In this geyser region, which will
more than cover an area of ten miles.
there are at least fifty geysers, ten of
them Of the first magnitude, and over a
thousand boiling springs.
