The trbulations of om Webfoot
neighhors over the changing sand
bars of the Columbia and Willamette
rivers, recall to mind the comments
of the n. Y. Nincr and Broker, of
March 10th, on the subject. The
concluding paragraph is either the
result of very close observation or
was dictated by the spirit of prophe-
sy, we hardly know which:
Our exchanges from Oregon bring
us to-day tidings of another serious
disaster on the bar at the mouth of
the Columbia river. A dispatch
from Astoria to the Portland Oteqo-
MAN Of Feb. 22l gives the particulars
of the laundering On the 10th ultimo
of the British bark Corsica, of TIC
tons, with a full cargo of wheat. and
drawing -! feet, Notwithstanding
she was in charge of an experienced
pilot and had the aid of powerful
tugs This is the sixth important
wreck there within few months,
and continuance of these calam-
tiles will ruin the commerce of the
river, as added to the perils of the
bar at the mouth of the Columbia,
the half dozen other bars in that
river and the Willamette are not
only vexatious, but increasingly dan
gerous. For some time past steam
ers drawing over 16 feet have had
to transfer cargo and passengers to
light to enable them to proceed to
Portland.
So powerful and capricious are
the currents of these rivers, and so
vast tho constant deposits of silt and
debris, that the problem of devising
any etfectual plan Of improving or
maintaining the channels is the de-
SPAR of the Government engineers,
and they seem likely to grow more
and more the dread of the mariner
and the underwater.

Prof. TAFT describes three forms Of
mirage. The first, and most common, IS
that seen in the desert, where~+ie sun
light is reflected from the heated layer
Of air resting upon the sand to the eye Of
the observer, and irresistibly gives rise
to the impression of a rejecting surface
Of water at the point in the desert from
which the rays are projected. a second
form is that observed in the Arctic
regions of which many beautiful Illus
trations have been given by scoresby.
The principal phenomenon is what is
called looming distant objects show
ING al extrayagant increase Of vertical
height without alteration i'll breadth.
Distant hummocks of ice are thus magni-
fed into immense towers and pinnacles,
and a ship is sometimes abnormally
drawn out until it appears twelve or
fourteen times as high as it is long. The
celebrated .fata inorganic Of tho Straits Of
Messina is of this character. Rocks are
seen drawn mp to ten or twelve times
their proper height; and houses, as well
al human beings and animals, appear in
like exaggerated shape. The most re-
markable instance of this kind of mirage
was, observed i'll 1898, when from Has
tinys i portion of the French coast forty
or fifty miles away was seen as plainly
as though but few miles distant, al
though ordinarily hidden by the eartl's
convexity. The third and perhaps most
extraordinary form Of mirage is that
observed by Vince in 1923, in which a
ship at sea showed three distinct images
"a lower AMI an upper one in an
| upright position and an intermediate
