The Geography Of the Future.

Thus 1t is seen that as certainly as terrestrial
revolutions continue in the course Of ten thousand
years there must come an entire reversal Of polar
conditions. The southern waters must be drained
of to make the oceans Of an opposite hemisphere.
New lands, enriched with the sediment of q hun
bred centuries, will rise up to extend the borders
of the old south continents, and islands, joining
together, will expand into mainlands. At the
same time the northern continents must be, in
great part, submerged, and their SUBMITS and
ranges become the bleak Islands and the bold
headlands Of a tempestuous ocean. Central Asia,
with its broad table lands, may still retain the
name of a continent, but, beyond few outlying
islands, there will be no Europe and but little OF
North America left. The Atlantic waters will
stand five hundred feet over Lake Superior, and
will wash the base of the Rocky mountains In all
their length. A new Gulf Stream may again, as
1t must often have done before, flow up the valley
Of the Mississippi. returning the deltas to the
prairies, and remaking the beds of the gardens of
the world. These are no idle or impossible fam
eies. Not only are they the results Of rigorous
calculation, hut they accord perfectly with the
unmistakable evidences which the ocean has left
all over our land Of its recent work and presence.

An Internal Machine in Saratoga Mans
Coal Hod.

Quite a sensation was produced in the family of
MIR. ID. Gibbs, prominent merchant Of Saratoga
Springs, one evening this week. While obtaining
q hod of coal from his coal-bin he discovered, by
mere accident, and yet most fortunately, small
tin box among the coal. His suspicious were
at once aroused, and from the fact that the box
was blackened so as to render it almost an i'm
possibility to distinguish 1t from the coal sur
rounding IL, he approached 1t with considerable
caution, anticipating its true nature, viz, an in
fernal machine, almost at glance. The box was
carefully removed from the hod, and the remain
der of the coal in the hod examined before being
placed in the stove. The box was opened and
found to contain a large number Of straws about
three inches in length. Each straw was filled
with powder and securely sealed at the ends.
The whole formed, indeed, very dangerous con-
tryance, which, If II had ever reached the ire-box
OF parlor stove, would have made very de-
structive work with the inside of a house, and
perhaps destroyed the lives of more than one
member of the family. Whether the above ma
chine was placed in Mr.. Gibbs coal-box on pur-
pose and with malicious intent, or whether it
came there accidentally, is a question not yet
