Another of those singular phenome'

mouth of the Mississippi river, occurred
a >few nights ago in Pass al Outre,
whereby an island Of nearly eight acres

the water. Several of these mud
Jumps" have hitherto appeared. How
they arc formed seems to be something
Of mystery, although the l. est inform
ed authorities are inclined to the be-
lief that they are produced by 1.-The
generation Of carbureted hydrogen gas
from the vegetable matter deposited in
the sediment under the tough imper-
vious mud" This theory was practi.
cally illustrated in 1858 by piercing
the shell and allowing the gas to es
cape. when the formation sank to its
original level. But the serious part Of
this matter is in connection with the
proposed government improvements.

porter Of the Eads system from its in-
