their centenaries. The last named, though

after its establishment, is the Oldest of the
three, having been first won in 177G by

Travelling Stones.

Many of our readers have doubtless
heard of the famous travelling stones of
Australia. Similar curiosities have 70.
Gently been found in Nevada, which are
described as almost perfectly round, the
majority of them as large as a walnut,
and of an irony nature. When disturb

level surface, within two or three feet of
each other, they Immediately begin
travelling toward common center, and
there lie huddled up in bunch like a lot
of eggs in nest. A single stone re.

feet, upon being released, at once started

that is comparatively level, and is moth
ing but bare rock. Scattered over this
barren region are little basins, from a
few feet to rod in diameter, and it is at
the bottom of those that the rolling
stones are found. They are from the size
of pea to five or six inches in diameter.
The cause of these stones rolling together
is doubtless to be found in the material
of which they a:e composed, viii h ap.

A Queer People.

The Moquis indians of Arizona, num-
bering 100, live in seven villa ges on
the tops of three cliffs or headlands that
rise more than go feet above the plains.
Why they choose these unhandy places
is mystery. On reaching the village,
says recent visitor, one finds ones self
on fiat ledge of bare rock which ex-
tends out from the main table nearly
half a mile in length, and from ten fe 1T
to perhaps three hundred feet in width.
The sides are almost pendicular. The
most populous of theae villages, Wal-li.
pi, is on the extreme end OF the rocks,
where the width is not over one hundred
feet. All the water for all purposes is
carried in earthen vessels on the backs
of men and women from, q spring near
the foot of the mountain, a distance of
nearly q mile, while the wood is brought
eight miles. Here these people have
lived longer than they can tell, even from
their traditions, and hitherto they have
been averse to q change o.. location, not.

their necessary supplies and the distance
from their fields and herds,

Phenonena at the Oil REGIONS.

Some months ago q party of oil opera.
tors from TitusviIle and St. Petersburg
began operations in the newly discovered
oil region of Trumbull county, Ohio.
They have struck vein of petroleum of
a character heretofore unknown in the
oil business. 1t is lubricating oil of the
finest quality, and it comes from the
earth refined and ready for use on the
finest machinery. This we'll is flowing
five barrels of this oil day, for which
the operators have q ready sale at SIG a
barrel. Ordinary oil, in the Pennsylva-
MIA region, is selling at f3 cents barrel.
The tract in which this phenomenal we'll
is located is near West MEGA. Two thou
sand acres have been leased at enormous
prices by other spectators. The discov-
erers of this refined lubricating oil are
putting down other wells on their land.
Among the sand rock taken from Tew
& Thurston's new oil we'll near the state
line, at depth of over 1000 feet, was q
piece thickly studded with sea shells and
bearing the impressions of curious fishes.
Four miles from Clintonville, Venan-
20 county, we'll was sunk three months
ago to the depth of 900 feet. No oil,
butt heavy vein of gas was found. The
owner of the we'll attempted to remove
the casing. It was raised a foot. The
fresh water at the top of the hole rushed
into the space at the bottom. It was
caught by the great rush of gas and
thrown q hundred feet in the air. This
natural fountain has been gushing at the
rate of 1000 barrels of ice cold water
a day ever since, with no indication that
it will ever cease.-Meadui'le, Pa., Cor.

A Penguin R0okerv.

In penguin rookeries the grass covers
wide tracts with a dense growth, like
that of field of standing corn, but
denser and higher, the grass reaching
high over ones head. Most Of
the droves of penguins made for one
landing place, where the beach surface
was covered with coating of dirt from
their feet, forming broad tract leading
to lane in the tall grass about a yard
wide at the bottom, and quite bare with
smoothly beatfn roadway this was the
entrance to the main street of this part
of the rookery." Various
lateral streets lead off on each side from
the main road, and are often at their
mouths as big as it; moreover, the road
sometimes divides for a little and Joins
again; hence it is the easiest thing to
lose ones way. Il is impossi-
bic to conceive the discomfort of making
ones way through big rcokery, hap.
hazard, o." across country" as one may
say. You plunge into one of the lanes
in the tall grass, which at once shuts out
the surroundings from your view. You
tread on shiny, black, damp soil COM
posed Of the birds dung. The stencil is
overpowering, the yelling of the birds
perfectly terrifying; l can call it nothing
else. You lose the path, or per
haps, arc bent from the 11rst in
making direct for some spot on the other
sideof the rookery. X Now you
are, the instant you leave the road, on
the actual breeding ground. The nests
are placed so thickly that you cannot
help treading on eggs and young birds at
almost every step. A parent bird sits on
each nest, with its sharp beak erect and
open ready to bite, yelling savagely:
"Caa, caa, urr, urr," its red eyes CLEAN
ing and its plumes at half-cock and
quivering with rage. No sooner are your
legs within reach than they are furiously
bitten, often by two or three birds at
once-that il, if you have not got on
strong leather CATERS, as on the first oc.
casion OF visiting rookery you probably
have not. At first you try to avoid the
nests, but soon find that impossible; then
maddened almost by the pain, stencil
and noise, you have recourse to brutality.
Thump, thump, gees your stick, and at
each blow down goes a bird. Thud,
thud, you hear from the men behind, as
they kick the birds off the nests, and 30
you 60 on for a bit, thump aud smash,
whack, thud, "caa, caa, urr, urr.," and
the psth behind you is strewed with the
dead and dying and bleeding.
But you make miserably slow progress,
and, worried to death, at last resort to
the expedient of stampeding as far as
your breath will carry you. You put
down your head and make rush through
the grass, treading on old and young
haphazard, and rushing on before they
have time to bite.-On the Challenger

THE WANING SUMMER
BY B. f. TAYLOR.

Under the maple trees lying su2ine,
Timing the beat OF pendulum vine,
Swinging the Delawares turning to wine,
Gazing straight upward a mile in the blue,
Watching cloud that has nothing to do;
Wishing decd for an acre or two;
Nothing to do but come down in the rain.
Borne Of the mist unto heaven again,
Nothing to SOW and no reaping OF grain!
Droning him home in the chrysolite noon,
Ghost Of drummer.b0y drumming tunnel
Counting the leaves as they drift from the rose,
Strewing with fragrance by place of repose;
Dying? ab, no. only changing its clothes!
Watching q spider pay out her last line,
Working at Euclid's Geometry fine.
Web is all woven and weaver VIII dine!
Watching dy laze along to his doom,
Silken the meshes but death in the loom,
Shrouded and eaten, but never tomb!
Sparrow alrowse on limb overhead,
Opens an eye when the spider Is fed,
Opens bill and the spider is deadl
Watching butterfly slowly unfold,
Growing post with 4 blossom of gold
Strange as the rod that did blossoms of old.
Hinged on life is the duplicate page,
Lsttered in light by wiser than sage,
Lasting 4 summer and read for an age.
Burst from the bonds! For that coffin was thine
Tenantless thing, where the sycamores shine,
Rven and rent, and the worm is divine!
Born from the dust and its veriest slave,
Hail to the herald direct from the grave!
Pinion of beauty, resplendently wavel
Bringing from far what no angel could say,
Something of them who have vanished away,
Left LIE alone on this amethyst day.
Rent is the chrysalis hid in the sod,
All the dear tenantry dwelling abroad.
Gone through the gate of the glory Of Godl
