Changes in the Earth's Surface

1t has been proved that the whole Pacific
coast, especially California, with all its
mountains, is perpetually rising, and that
at comparatively rapid rate. The land
containing in Its bosom our great American
lakes is slowly sinking; while southern
Indiana, Kentucky. and the surrounding
States are rising. Geological investiga-
tions prove that our great lakes, except
Ontario, had formerly a southern outlet /;
until, by gradual northern depressions and
southern upheavals, a northern outlet Was
formed from Lake Erie into Ontario. about
10000 years ago. This outlet, the Niagara
river, is still wearing away its channel.
The division line Of the watershed south
OF the lakes and the Mississippi valley, has
since that time been steadily travelling
southwark; and when Chicago recently
turned the waters of Lake Michigan,
through the Chicago river, into the Missis-
sippi valley, the old state Of affairs was ar
tihcially reestablished.
New jersey is sinking, with New York
city and Long Island, at the estimated rate
OF about IL inches per century. The coast
OF Texas is ascending at a comparatively
very rapid rate, some observers stating that
il is as much as 80 or 40 feet In the last
half century.
Combining these observations with the re-
suits of the recent deep soundings of the
United States steamer Tuscarora in the Pa
cifc Ocean, We find that the bed is evident
ly sunken continent, Astounding in vol
canic mountains some 1900 feet high,
MANY OF them not reaching the surface of
the ocean, and Others which do, forming
the numberless islands of the Pacific. The
study of the coral rocks proves that this
sinking has continually been taking place
through several centuries, and observations
of the coast will undoubtedly reveal the fact
that il has not yet ceased.
The most eminent German geologists and
ethnologists now maintain that the locality
OF mans primitive origin, the seat of the
sO-called Paradise, was in the Pacific
Ocean south of Asia, whence the race slow
ly diffused itself northward to Asia, west
ward to Africa, and eastward to Australia.
When the great Pacific continent slowly
sank, so that the ocean commenced filling
the valleys, man retreated 10 the noun
tains which, by continued sinking, were
transformed into islands, and now form the
many groups vi oiN heaia- ihe HisuidIits
of the thus preserved races was not produc-
tive OF civilization, which requires conflict,
hence their savage conflict, in which the su-
periors in the end gain the victory over the
interiors. In these islands, the inferior
races were preserved for want of this con-
ilict, hence their savage condition even at
the present day; while primitively the
greatest advance took place at the spot Of
the most intense conflict, the continent Of
Southern Asia.-Scieatifc ImeTicdn.

Our Apples in England

Nothing astonishes the English more than
our system of barreling apples. In tha,
country the crop is placed thinly on shelv.a
in fruit houses, constructed especially fc,
the purpose, and no one thinks of sending
them long distances to market. Our Rhode
Island greetings and baldwins, therefore,
which now go there in barrels in immense
quantities, surprise them considerably. A
good deal of this is perhaps due to the vari-
eiies We send there, A few years ago the
Ncwtown pippin was the great American
apple in the London market but since the
failure of that variety, those two named
have in a measure taken its place. 1t is
not, however, that these apples should
reach the English markets in such excellent
condition after being barrelled up that 80
astonishes the English the price is also a
wonder, for after being sent 80 far they can
still be sold by price the English can
hardly touch with their own fruit. This
speaks well for the progress Of American
fruit culture.

Crops in Mitchell County

Mitchell county never did, and never vii
have better crops than she has at this time
With the exception Of two weeks dry wealth
er, the season has been 4 most favorable
one. Rains have come plenty, and grass
hoppers have done no damage to speak of
From the trustees reports, taken in the
different townships of the county, We fine
that there is given the following figures:
There has been harvested in the county
Is, so acres of winter wheat, averaging twen
ty bushels to the acre. This gives our lar.
mers 1880 bushels.
The report from the spring wheat harves
is ] ,25S acres AZ an average OF fifteen bush
els, giving total of los, $50 bushels
From rye the returns show total o.
lS.6l5. 1t is believed that the yield from
this crop cannot fall short OF twenty-five
bushels the acre, and such being the case
the result will be 465,S75 bushels OF thi:
grain.
Barley has covered | 1913 acres and the
crop has been large one, no one believing
that it will fall short of thirty bushels to
the acre. Upon this basis Mitchell county
will have 81, I90 bushels.
The corn crop promises large one in
fact, taller or heavier corn never grew in
Kansas, the most of it at this time reaching
TO the height of from twelve to fifteen feet.
In the county there are Il, ,i02 acres plant
ed and it is thought that the average num-
Der OF bushel- to the acre can be safely put
down at fifty bushels. This being the case,
there Will be total OF l70,l00 bushels
raised.
In figuring we find that from these re-
ports the farmers Of Mitchell county alone,
this year, will raise about ,2S9, ,9l5 bushels
of grain. The figures look too large to be
believed, but We have the acreage planted,
and a trip through the country will con-
vince any one that the crop will not fall
much short of it. The balance of the III
counties in the northwest will, each, nearly
equal this in the grain crop, and as the IA
vorable season has served all alike, what
can the estimate be upon the whole section?
1t will simply be the largest crop ever rails
ed in any country.-Beloa Gazette.

A Young Lady Shoots at Her seducer, but
Misses Him.
A special dispatch received at this Office
at half-past three o'clock this afternoon,
gives the following particulars Of an at.
tempted murder in Wyoming:
WYOMING, Iosa, July 25.-To-day a,
about go P. NJ, a daughter of one of our
Oldest and most esteemed citizens, went into
the First National Bank, and after few
words with the teller, Wallace Foote, drew
a revolver and fired at him, the ball strik-
ing the floor near his feet. He jumped be-
hind picket gate and then closed the door
after him, when she fired another shot, the
ball passing through the panel and through
his hat about an inch above his head, bu-
rying itself in the wall. The men who
were on the sidewalk rushed in and secured
the girl, and took the weapon from her.
The cause is said to be breach of promise
and seduction. The girls age is about 16
years.-Dduenport Democrat.

help them great deal. Fancy, for instance
a large boy or girl quarreling right before
2 large mirror. They would laugh them
selves into good nature at once, or else go
of and hide for shame. Then again, if
people could always see themselves in a
large mirror they would like their good de-
portmeut so well as they would want 10 re-
peat it constantly. Sickly, deformed and
ugly people never want to look at them
selves in the glass.
