buck feeding about four hundred yards
ahead, We stopped and tied them, and
Lee was selected as the man 10 go for

When deer are feeding they always
signal with their tails before they raise
their heads. In this waya careful hunt
cr, who has the advantage of the wind,
can get very near them. It was SO
with Lee. He had the wind right, and
with careful tread, and his eve on
the bucks tail, lie advanced. When he
would see the tail switch he would stand
motionleSS until the deer put his head
down again. In this manner he got
within sixty yards, and a sure fire laid
the prize low. 1t was now l o'clock,
and we stripped his jacket in a few
minutes, and had his liver b|rOilin9 on
Goals for dinner. After refreshing our
selves, We bundled up and started for
Billy'S island again. Lee s]houldered

A Curious Geological Theory.

An interesting geological theory has
lately been the subject Of discussion in
the foreign journals. An eminent sciem-
fist, it seems, has made the curious cal
culation that every year 92-horSc power
of work-hcat meaning works GOT
rid of from every 2f7 acres of the sur
face of the globe; and that the diSSipa-
ton of energy and the contraction of
rocks not being uniform, the effect Of
these disturbing causes is to produce
horizontal thrusts, which form noun
tain ranges by %crumplin@ up the earth,
mountains being formed by this crump
action rather than by direct volcanic or
other upheaval. This theory also as
sumcS that the chances produced by
such contraction are slow, and that there
is every reason for believing that the sea
floors and continents now existing are
extremely old, geographically speaking,
SO far rs their present forms or coniig-
uratiOn are concerned. An illustration
OF TINS Is cltGu IN n case OF SnOWdOn,
the lofticst mountain in Wales and
South Britain. The upper part consists
of sea sand, fossil sea fishes, and vol
canic ashes, all mixed together, and, in
fact, appears to have been at one time
in the same condition that the Bay of
Biscay is in at preSent-that is volcanic
ashes fell into it and sometimes buried
fish. The lower part consists Of vast
streams of old lava-showin@ that, at
some geological period, the crumpling
action took place below the Bay Of
Snowdon; consequently the bottom of
the bay was elevated, and became the
very top of the highest mountain in
Wales.

How Messages are Sent by the Ocean
Cable.

IL ocean telegraph operator taps
the 'key" rs in Il land telegraph, only
it is a double key. 1t has two levers
and knobs instead of one. The alphabet
used is substantially the same as the
Morse alphabet-that is, the different
letters are represented by accumulation
of dashes and dots. For instance, u p
pose you want to write the word "bOy."
1t would read like this: "-...--
--.---''. b is one dash and
three dots; o, three dashes: and Y, one
dash, one dot, and three dashes. Now,
in the land telegraph. the dashes and
the dots would appear on the strip of
paper at the other end of the line, which
is unwound from Il cylinder, and per-
forated by Il pin at the end of the bar or
armature. If the operator could read
by sound, we would dispense with the
strip of paper, and read the message by
the "click " of the armature as it is
pulled down and let go by the electric
magnet.
The cable operator, however, has
neither of these advantages. There is
no paper to %pcrforatc, no click of the
armature, and no armature to click.
The message is read by means of Il NOV
ING flash of light upon 4 polished scale
produced by the detection of Il very
small mirror, which is placed within Il
mirror GalyanOmetcr," which is Il
small brass cylinder two or three inches
in diameter, shaped like Il spool or bob
bin, composed of several hundred turns
of small wire wound with silk to keep
the metal from coming in contact. 1t
is wound or cOilcd exactly like Il bundle
of new rope, 4 small hole being left in
the middle about the size of Il common
wooden pencil. In the center of this is
suspended Il very thin, delicate mirror
about as large as i kernel of corn, with
4 corrcspondingly small magnet rigidly
attached to the back of it. The whole
weighs but Il little more than Il grain,
and is suspended by a single fibre of
silk, much smaller than Il human hair
and almost invisible. A narrow hOri-
zontal scale is placed within Il darkened
box two or three feet in front of the
mirror, a narrow slit being cut in the
center of the scale to allow a ray OF
light to shine upon the mirror from Il
lamp placed behind said scale, the little
mirror in turn rejecting the light back
upon the scale. This spot of light upon
the scale is the index by which all mes
Sa@es are read. The angle through
which the ray moves is double that
traverscdb by the mirror itself; and it is,
therefore, really equivalent to an index
four or six feet in length, without
weight.
70 the casual observer there is moth
ing but u thin ray of light, darling to
right and left with irregular rapiditv;
but to the trained eye of the operator
every flash is replcte with intelligence.
Thus the word "boy," already alluded
to, would be read in this way: One
flash to the right and three to the left is
b. Three flashes to the right is o. One
to the right, n to the left, and two
more to the right is Y, and so on. Long
and constant practice makes the opera
tors wonderfully expert in their profess
sion, and enables them to read from the
mirror as readily and as accurately as
from a newspaper.-BOSton Her0fd.
