North Montana Rfrwr Prgss
One Of the singular natural phenomena known
II this secuou OF Montana is the formation Of
two geysers in the strip OF country known rs the
sons ranch. on the Shonkin. 1t was first seen
about q month ago, but not until lately has it
assumed proportions which constitute its won
canon running out from the wall 1t rocks on the

about fifty feet. hut with larger proportion Of
sAter; diameter. about four inches. They are
the morning hours, about or o'clock. The
formation OF the country Is sandstone and
Eneiss, and has all the appearance OF being m

curious phenomenon it H. of course, only use
less to speculate, as there is no evidence OF au-

formed which will account for it.

A Remarkable Scene.


A few miles off the road down the open
and well-cultivated valley of the Natbada,
in Central India, is a mighty river pent
up into third Of its width, and for more
than two miles boiling along between two
sheer walls of pure white marble, hun
dred feet in height, with here and there a
seam of dark green or black volcanic rock,
which enhances the purity of the marble
like a setting of jet What must be the
charm, in dusty Oriental land, Of the
GOODNESS and quietof those pure cold rocks,
and Of the deep blue, pelucid water. "The
eve, says the traveller, "neyer wearles of
the indefinite variety of effect produced
by the broken and reflected sunlight, now
glancing from pinnacle of snow-white
marble reared against the deep blue Of
the sky; as from point Of silver, touch
ing here and there with bright lights, the
prominences of the middle nights, and
again losing itself in the soft blush grays
Of their recesses. Still lower down, the
bases of the cliffs are almost lost IN the
hazy shadow, so that it is hard to tell at
what point the rocks have melted into the
water, whose depths the same lights, in in
verse order, are reflected as clear as above,
hut broken into a thousand quiyering
fragments in the swirl of the pool. This
beautiful spot is infested with bees, which,
if disturbed, many travellers have found
very dangerous; and, indeed, on one occa-
sion they stung an intruder to death. The
Marble rocks, like almost every object OF
great natural beauty, have been sanctifed
by the Brahmins, and many of the COM
mouest legends transported hither. Across
the chasm, the monkey lCeious of Hauu-
man lcaped on their way to Ceylon; the
CELESTIAL elephant of India left his mighty
footprint here in the white rock. Temples
to the silva crown the right bank Of the
cliff, and by the rivers edge is favorite
CHAT for the launching of the bodies of
devout Hindoos into the waters of Mother
Narbada, which are consequently polluted
by ghoul-like turtles, nlonstrous fishes, aud
repulsive crocodiles, that fatten on the

A syrian Legend

After Lets escape from .Sodom an an
gel gave him three cypress cuttings 70 be
planted at Hebron, With the promise that
if they lived and fourished his great sin
would be pardoned; if they died he would
receive punishment They were to be
watered regularly, but the water must be
brought from the river Jordan So every
dag the patriarch made his long journey to
the river aud back again, aud the trees con
tinued to grow. But one day as he was
returning to Hebron, beggar met BIN on
the way aud pleaded hard for a drink Of
water, which was given him; and then au-
other beggar and another, aud so on uutil
all the water was gone, and there was none
left for the trees So Lot threw himself
down in despair because his young trees
would not live, ard his own soul would be
lost, for his sins would not be forgiven.
Bot an angel appeared to him and told
him that his act Of charity to the thirsty
beggars had found grace in the sight az
God, and that hencetoFth the trees would
grow without his watering And they did,
and became 10 time mighty trees; and
from one Of them the cross Of Christ was
made, that he who died for his charity 10
mankind might suffer ca the tree which
was blessed By the grace Of charity

Professor Fontaine gives some hints for
abating the mosquito pest which is sure to
come with the advent of sunny days.
Mosquitoes require water fer the deposit
Of their eggs and the rearing Of their lar
vac Therefore all cisterDs should be made
close and covered with close woven brass
wire-netting. No old tubs, barrels, or re
ceptacles Of water ought to be permitted,
and no stagnant pools left uudrained within
q mile of any dwelling. Common lime
ought to be poured into every cesspool and
spring. A pound of strong lime to every
one hundred gallons of stagnant water i
sufficient.
