Il is to be held in the town Of Nara,
which was the residence Of the Mikados
more than thousand years ego, in
which 8 building still stands, erected
before the court left tho t..wn, a. D.
794, and whatlis more remarkable, is
made Of wood. 1t is said to have been
examined every sixty first year sinceits
erection and repaired when necessary.
There may be seen the treasures placed
there more than q thousand years ago,
BY the Mikados which have escaped the
danger of fire, robbery and rcsolntion
during that long period. In addition
to these antiquities withitheir inventory;
made in the eighth century, are some
fresh objects which have in tho course
OF oenturys been addel, SO the whole
exhibition is curious record Of 1000
years of national existence.
Mark Twain, in the August Atzantic
mourns over the diminished length of
the Mississippi, in this strain: The Mis-
sissippi bet yeen Cairo and New Orleans
was 1875 miles long 176 years ago. It
was 1910 after the American Bend
cutoff (sone 16 or II years ago.) Tt
has lost 81 miles since. Consequently
its length is only 973 niles at present.
W b +
In the space of 176 years the lower
Mississippi has shortened itself 242
miles. That is an average Of a tritie
over one mile and third per year.
Therefore, any calm person, who is not
blind or idiotic, can see that in tie Old
Oolitic Silurian period, just million
years ago next November, tho Lower
Mississippi river was upwards of .300,-
600 miles Iorg, and stuck ont over the
Gull of Mexico like fshing-rod. And
by the same token any person can see
that T42 years from now the lower
Mississippi will only be mile and three
quarters long, and Cairo and New Or
leans will have Joined their streets to-
