The scientific articles In othe .Mer-
curry on the probable approaching dis
solution of the universe have awaken
ed a general interest througheut the
country. A we'll known Western pill
lar of the orthodox Church, Elder J..
B. Berhens, bats some Of the prop
ositions of NJ. 'Herault, whose theo-
ries have been ventilated In these col

and localities snbterranean gases are
generated which cause the pulsation
Of the earth and The high temperature
IN the coal mines; if these gases and
their contents cannot be thrown off,
an explosion is inevitable. But now
we find the earth rind perforated
with volcanic mountains, which serve
as safety-yaives Of our globe. In this
light, consider the recent ''shocks at
Richmond and Washington. the pres

suvius, and the whole matteris simple
and no danger is spprehended How
eevers when yeu.l see. every volcanic
opening of the earth at oRce ablaze to
their utmost capacity and still the
pressure constantly increasing, then
look out for danger. - But 0f this Mr..
HeraultIsays not word. That gen.
.tlemanl is SO alarmed that religion
should interfere with ''my science"
that he always makes hiss count with
out consulting the host. But others
believe, thai God Almighty, who made
the earth, has heretofore always mani
aged its interior furnace .h;m.elf. And
do ne: think he is toe old and feeble

business. Do YOU?

A SNOW sroRM IN THE SIERRA NE

will. give you slight description
Of snow -storm in the Sierra Nevada,
as Witnessed by me this winter. 1t is
one Of the widest scenes ever wit
messed by human being. The first
approach OF storm begins by" gen.
tie, low murmuring among the meun-
tain pines, Increasing hour after hour,
until it reaches what is called here .
Washoe zephyr. The Washoe Valley
is very wide IN comparison to the mar
row divides among the mountains
where +he zephyr has to pass. When
ali is ready for a full blow, it ragee,
tears, snsrts, twists, jumps, rips
screams, splits, doubles up, drives un-
der, and comes up,Tdriying, W hirling
humping, and stretching out, until
hill and mountain vas are one vast sheet
of wild .commotion. II takes weeks
Tor a STERN of this kind to spend itself.
Hany other country can scare up a
storm that will beat this Alpine storm
of America, we would all like 70 hear
of lit.-Galiforafq Letter in GAicago
