High Tides and the Moon,

Professor Ball, of Dublin, has been recently trying to prove that the moon IS the result of tidal evolution, that in the very remote past when the moon was only 10000 miles distant, the earth must have been swept by tides of enor- nous height, and that these tides must have been powerful agents in producing changes on the earth's surfa ce which geologists are now unable to account for. In a recent number of Nature Professor Newberry, of Columbia Col. lege, goes carefully over the geological record, and shows conclusively that these hypothetical high tides have left no trace of their existence, and that since the beginning of the geological record the order of nature has been essentially what it is to-day. The testimony of the rocks on this subject. says Professor Newberry, is so full and conclusive that it really leaves no room for discussion; and hence the astrono- mers have been in error in regard to the genesis of the moon, and she never formed portion of the earth's mass. or the separation took place at period so remote that she had receded to nearly her present distance before the dawn of life on the earth.

After the Battle.

I had my letter to write and post, and this involved five.mile drive by moon light to the rear, across the most ghastly field which can we'll be inn agined. had some trouble in finding my carriage. I had left it at a well de- fined position on the battlefield of the day before, but to reach it I had to walk for more than mile over a plain where the carcasses of men and horses were not merely thickly strewn, but frozen into all sorts of fantastic atti- tudes. The thermometer had been ten degrees below the freezing point on the previous night, and men only slightly wounded, who had not been able to crawl to their comrades, had been frozen to death.
 One man was stiff in sitting posture, with both his arms lifted straight above his head, as though his last moments had been spent in an invocation, and it gave one shudder in the clear moon- light to approach him. Others were crumpled up in death agony, and so frozen. In places, many were together, French and Germans were mingled, not because they had been at close quarters, but because the same ground had first been occupied by one and then by the other, perhaps, at an interval of half a day. l think I was more comfortable with bullets ringing in my ears than walking amid the distorted shadows of these dead and stiffened men; and 1t was quite relief to see hay-stack on fire and regiment warming themselves at 1t, and my prudent coachman within comfortable distance of the ruddy blaze.
 Then comes the hard part of the cor respondents life. I had still to dine. I had lived since the mornings coffee on loaf of bread, which I had been picking at all day; then, to write my letter-a good two hours task then to see that it was safely posted, either that Light or the next morning early, so as to give me time to get to the 6eld for the third days battle. And all this after having been on strain of exertion and excitement since daylight; and then the gentleman at ease in London reads it all in his armchair after breakfast for a penny, or, at the most, two-penee half- penny.-BlackWood's Nagazine.

Eight Hundred Thousand People.

There are already booked for passage to this country in 1882 nearly a half million people and it is estimated that 900 will emigrate from Europe and Canada to the West and Northwest.
 In consequence of this vast throng, the "AL bert Lea Route" CHICAGO, ROCK ISLAND AND PACIFIC RAILwAY) has been compelled to put upon it's line an additional Fast Express Train, composed of most elegant day and night cars, leaving Chicago at II a. m., and reaching Min neapolis early the next morning in ample time Dakota or Manitoba to obtain their breakfast and make the connection for all points North or Northwest
 This train is run especially to connect with the new express trains which the Northern Pacific. and St. Paul, Minneapolis and Manitoba rail roads (the latter connecting with the Canadian Pacific at St. VincenD have just put upon their lines.
 The regular evening express train from Chi cago will be run as heretofore, and make con- nections from Minneapolis for all points in the territory named above.

DEAD CoDF1sH.- The members of the Norwegian bark Sidon at Boston detract somewhat from the size of the telegraphic story about their sailing through 50 miles of dead codfish, but the truth, if their present story be true, is startling enough. They say that they sailed through 10 or 12 miles of float ing dead fish, the fish being of large size, and visible on both sides of the ship as far as the eye could reach. An attempt was made to catch one of them with boat-hook, but the vessel was sailing to fast that it proved impossible to do so. These mariners have no theory to account for this fish fatality, but say they never saw or heard of the like before,

A Point in Law.

Few litigants, says an exchange, ever sit down to count the cost of lawsuit in advance-even the money cost. Let us be among the few prudent, and reckon up the costs of an ordinary case. Suppose Browns cattle have broken into Smiths corn and destroyed corn valued at, say $100. Smith demands a settlement. Brown replies that the fence was poor, that Jones's cattle got in afterward and did most of the dam- age, and that the real damage done was not half so great as Smith claims. Here are issues for tirst-class suit. If Brown were properly approached he would probably pay $1O-possibly $2C but Smith is sure he has lost $1OO, and that Brown ought to pay it all. He decides to enforce his rights. The law. yer will begin a suit for BIO. When il is ready for trial he wants $15 more. The clerks fees and jury fees are, say, $6 more. The witness fees are S4. Smith loses in all fourteen days time, worth BPS. At the close of the trial the lawyer wants $25 more. Total disburse. ments, $e8. The estimated loss was $10O. To this add the costs of the ac. tion, and the total damage is $188.
 Now, taking the average of cases oi this kind, Smith will be fortunate if he reeovers verdict of 1925. In such case his net loss will be $143, or $63 more than it would have been if he had kept out of the court and let his 'tr1ghts" go. If he had compromised with Brown and gotten BIO or $2O, that would have been clear gain his victory in the court has been clear loss, and more disastrous one than the original infiction. So much for the plaintiffs side
 Now let us see about the defendant. He might compromise with his neigh. bor by paying, say, $50; but he will not. He will fight the suit at whatever cost. His lawyers fees alone are $50 he loses time, worth at least S25, and has $25 to pay at the end the total is just twice the amount that the case might been settled for. The original damage was said to be $1OO. The two men spend $189 in ''lawing" It, and of all this only $25 goes from one to the other the other $163 is a dead loss. which must be added to the original $1OC to show the real damage.

Ayoung mans wedding day drew near, and the road to Galena, the nearest licensing place, was in such condition that a horse could not be used on it. The dis tance was seventeen miles. After try ing to hire somebody to make the jour- ney on foot, and failing to find a pedestrian at the price-he could afford to pay, he set out himself on the morn ing of the appointed day. It was hard job, and he returned covered with mud, almost exhausted, and barefooted, his boots having been mired and abandoned,
 but he brought the license, and the ceremony was performed in the evening.

Central America.
FORMER EARTHQUAKES THAT HAVE WIS.,
 TIED THAT LOCAEITY

The mountainous ridge of Central America has long been known to be 8 region full of volcanoes and subject to shocks of earthquakes to an ex- traordinary extent. The last great earthquake which visited the locality, previous to that lately reported, was on March 10, 1873, when San Salvador was totally destroyed. That disaster was not so fatal as the present one; for, though three successive shocks were felt, the inhabitants, warned by pre- vious noises, were able to find places of safety, and only about 500 perished. Earthquakes have been so frequent in the Central American States that the Indians are accustomed to say it is 'the land that swings like a hammock. " Costa Rica is the most southern Repub- lie of this disturbed region, and the it- tie State is filled with extinct and active volcanoes, among which are Orisa, Votes and Cartago. The population of the Republic is about 19O,0O0. The Pacific coast of Central and South America has previously been visited with several notably disastrous earth. quakes. The first shock mentioned by the historians of Chili occurred on the Sth of February, 1870, destroying Con. cepcion, then the most promising and fourishing city of the infant colony. More than two thousand persons per. lshed. In 1647 an earthquake occurred which was felt throughout all South America. Without any warning, and in single instant, it leveled the city ot Santiago to the ground. Ten years later Conception was again overthrown. In 1751 the same town was visited by an earthquake accompanied by tida wave, which, on retiring, washed away the entire place. The city of Caracas was entirely destroyed in fifty-siz seconds on March 26, 1872. Quito, ir Ecuador, was almost destroyed or March p, 1859. In Peru, Callao was destroyed in 1886, and the accompany ing sea wave was ninety feet high. Il was again destroyed in 1746. An earth quake which will be readily recalled wal that of August 13 and IA, 1868, in whicl Africa suffered severely. The tidal wave carrieda number of ships inland, among them the United States steamer Wateree. A United States storeshi1 was also lost by it. The seaport O. Africa suffered severely. The earth quake sea wave sped thence across tht Pacific, reaching the Hawaiian Islands on the 14th and Yokohama on the 18th It was also felt in Australia and Alaska In Argentine Republic, Mendoza wal overturned in March, 1865. The shocl extended over the entire Republic ano | 12,O00 persons are estimated to have per1shed. An earthquake in Chili ir 1922 caused a permanent elevation tc an extent of from two to seven feet o | fully one hundred thousand square miles of land lying between the Andes and the coast. February 20, 1885, the city of Conception was destroyed fo, the fourth time there were felt over three hundred successive shocks within two weeks. April 2, 1851, a severe shock was felt at Santiago.

One of our consuls in Germany, Mir. Canisius. has sent to the State Depart ment the figures of the last census in Germany. The total population is 45, 234.O61. The excess of females over males is 863, 195. The increase in pop ulation since 1875 is 2,506, ,689. Mir.

By FORCE. The 577 Chinamen arriv- ing Tn San Francisco in one steamer had all been vaccinated before leaving China, according to certificate from the United States Consul at Hong Kong; but the Quarantine officers said that made no difference, as city ordinance requires them to be vaccinated after arrival. The immigrants, refusing to submit, were barricaded on the main deck, and dragged out one by one through narrow passage to be operated on. Some fought desperately, and were badly hurt by the clubbing they re- eeiyed.
