TRAVELLING SToNEs.-MANY of our
readers have doubtless heard of the fam
Gus travelling stone of Australia. Simi-
lar curiosities have recently been found
in Nevada, which are described as almost
perfectly round, tho majority of them as
large as a walnut, and of an irony nature.
When distributed about upon the floor,
table, or other level surface, within two
or three feet of each other, they immedi-
ately begun travelling toward common
centre, and there huddled up in bunch
like lot of eggs in a nest. A single
stone, removed to the distance of three
and a-half feet, upon being released, at
once started of, with wonderful and some-
what comical celebrity, to join its fellows,
taken away four or five feet, it remained
motionless. They are found in region
that is comparatively level. and is moth
ing but bare rock. Scattered over this
barren region are little basins, from foot,
to a rod in diameter. and it is in the bot
tom of these that the rolling stons are
found. They are from the size of pea
to FIVE or six inches in diameter. The
cause of these stones rolling together is
doubtless to be found in the material of
which they are composed, which appears
to be loadstone or magnetic iron ore
"Rolling stones gather no moss"

SCIENTIFIC Use OF THE MoNr GEMS
TuNSEL.-AT recent sitting Of the
French Academy Of Sciences, Mr.. Ellie
de Beaumont read an elaborate paper on
the scientific instruction which may be
derived from close examination of the
collection to be exhibited in the School
of Mines in Paris, of specimens Of the
strata obtained from the Mont Gents Tun-
mel. This collection, which consisted
originally Of only l27 specimens, has re-
ceived 60 new specimens. which brings
the total number to 196 altogether.
The total vertical thickness of the stra-
ia explored was more than 1000 metres.
The general color is gray, or, rather, black
aud the coloring matter is mostly carbon.
Very few fossils were met with, having
been destroyed by the subsequent crys-
talization.
The disturbances which have created
Mont Gents and made it emerge from the
bottom of the sea have produced many
cracks and faults. But all these faults
have been filled up with quartz in a per-
feet manner in relatively modern times.
The in6ltration amounts practically to
nothing. The only spring which was dis
covered is situated near Modane, and
gives only seven GALLONS per minute. The
water is cold. The contractors were
obliged to send to Modane and Bardon-
neeho for the water required for drinking,
and for grinding the stone.
No artesian well has ever given an op-
portunity of comparison with the perfor.
alton of Mont Gents, as the deepest bored
by European engineers is only 1000 met
res, and by the Chinese only 5000.
The Academy listened for more than
an hour to the lecturer. NJ. Faye express
sed wish that series of pendulum ex-
periments sould be conducted on the top
Of Mont Gents, as well as in the central
part Of the tunnel, to test the effect of the
mass Of the mountain on the time of the
MISUNDERSTANDING.

Brother Eben, who then had charge oi
the boys, said to them: 81 am going to

Russell secured the prize, and borrow.

around him.
"Eiear the king bee buzz, boys; just

triumphant tones, as the poor bee went
booming and humming round the hat
and all this time Brother Eben was os.

orchard.

boys assured each other with joyous gig.

THE BOSTON FIRE.

One year ago we were recording the de-
tails of the terrible fire in Chicago that
Ieveled the business portion of that city in
ashes. It was terrible visitation upon the
young metropolis of the West. Serious
results followed the heavy losses and for
months the business circles of every city
in the Union felt the shock. One year has
passed and the new Chicago stands as a
monument Of Western enterprise and
pluck.
In this issue of the CHRONICLE we give
the details of the great contiagration in
Boston. That center of literature, art and
solid business interests now feels the ter
rible infiiction that visited Chicago. Its
narrow streets and buildings of a CEN
tury's standing presented an inviting field
for the ravages Of the fire fiend. Its solid
granite blocks, its old buildings, relics of
the revolutionary era, about which cluster
many dear associations are swept by the
sea of flame. The details we give are full
and interesting and will be carefully read.
We shall know more speedily of the effects
this disaster will have on commercial cir
cles. No city on this continent could so
well withstand such a shock as Boston, for
her business men are prudent, financially
sound and able to rally from such losses.
The leather. wooden, banking and insur-
rance interests will probably be more af-
fected than any others.

JOURNALISTIC ENTERPRISE,
How the Election News Was Given TO New
Workers..

Workers.
BY large expenditure of money and the
judicious arrangements of Mr.. George F.
Williams, its shrewd and indefatigable
managing news editor, the New York Times
gave the election news to the people of
New York last Tuesday night more COM
plete and earlier than any of its contsmpo-
raries. 1t had over three hundred special
correspondents located at the principal
points in the various States and in this
way gave new evidence of its great enter
prise and worth as newspaper. How the
news was received is told as follows:
Our bulletin arrangements were so COM
plete as to insure success. A wire was laid
between the editorial rooms of the Times
and Mr.. Keeler's Steriopticon office, at
Twenty-third street, and operators were
in both places the one in the former send
ing dispatches, as fast as they were receiv-
ed from the different States, to the latter,
who read them off as he got them to writ
ers, who as quickly as possible wrote them
on glass. There were slid into the steriop-
ticon as soon as written and, the light be-
ing turned Oh, the figures stood out upon
the canvass ia immense characters. It
would be difficult to describe the enthusi-
asm with which each item of good news
was greeted. Men shouted, clapped their
hands, waved their hats, and gave vent to
their feelings in everyeonceivable manner.
