Travclinr Stones.

Many of our readers have doubtless
heard Of the famous traveling-stone Of
Australia. Similar curiosities have re-.
Gently been found in Nevada, which are
described as almost perfectly round, the
majority OF them US large rs a walnut,

level surface, within two or three feet OF
each other, they Immediately began tray,

half leet, being released, at once started

cal celebrity to Join It's fellows taken away
four or five feet, it remained motionlesS.
They are found in region that Is com.
paratiyely level, and Is nothing but bare
rock. Scattered over this barren region
are little basins, from a foot to, a rod in
diameter, and 1t Is in tho bottom Of these
that the rolling stones are found. They
are from the size Of a pea to five or six
inches in diameter. The cause Of these
stones rolling together Is doubtless to be
found In the materials OF which they are
composed, which appears to DO loadstone
or magnetic iron ore. "Rolling stones
