A Sinking Mountain.

One of the most extraordinary of the
many disturbances of earth's crust
which have occurred during the last
two or three years is the sinking of the
Mountain of Naiba, in Algiers. This
mountain, which is, or was, about twice
as high as the Crows Nest on the Hud-
sou, is said to be gradually descending
into the bosom of the earth, deep ex-
cavation being formed all around it az
it settles. There are several instances
on record of volcanic mountains having
risen out of the earth or the sea, and
few of mountains which have sunk into
the earth. The japanese have 4 legend
that the great volcanic peak of Fusi
yama rose suddenly out of the earth,
and it is known that in 1859 the volcano
of Jorullo, in Mexico, rose in one night
out of cultivated plain. In 1881 there
was similar occurrence in San Saliva
dor, a volcanic hill rising suddenly out
of the middle of the Lake of IlOpango-
But, in these cases the phenomena Of
the rising mountains were accompanied
by earthquakes and volcanic eruptions-
So the recent disappearance of volcanic
islands and the thrusting up through
the bottom of the sea of sixteen new
volcanoes near Java were the accompa.
niments of great CONFUSION of ths
earth's crust. But the sinking of the
Algerian mountain, it appears, is not
attended by earthquakes, and is not the
result of a volcanic eruption. The sub
terranean props of the mountain seem
to have given away under its weigh
and it is subsiding into the ground-I

EdOuard Frere i'm England.

While Edouard Frere's pictures have
been painted almost without exception
in his secluded home, they have found
their way to all art centers. In England
they are especially admired. Early in
his successful career he was persuaded
to visit friend in London. He enjoyed
the novel experience exceedingly, but
as he was entirely unacquainted with
the English language, he was extreme
" dependent on his friend. He was in
vited with him on one occasion to a
grand dinner. There were speeches
and toasts, of which he understood not
one word; but he followed his friends
cue, applauded where he applauded and
answering the jokes and stories with an
appreciative smile. Presently some one
at the other end of the table proposed a
toast which was greeted with universal
enthusiasm. Papa Frere clapped his
hands with the rest, whereat every one
smiled or laughed and applauded more
uproariously. Following his friends
example, Papa Frere smiled, nodded
and cheered; but was overcome with
confusion when it was explained to him
that he had been applauding his own
name and some extremely fiattering
compliments which had just been paid
him. 1t might have occurred to
Madame Frere that this was the case,
for to her swift intuitions no success
which comes to her husband is a sur
prise, and she shares his honor with the
calm satisfaction of one who had fore
seen them from the first. But Papa
Frere was of too simple and modest a
nature to imagine for a moment that
such admiration could be meant for him.
The same sweet and unassuming
spirit dwells in him still. His genius,
not satisfied with past achievements,
has ripened and matured with conscien-
tious study, so that his later pictures are
better than the ones which made him
famous. The world about him changes,
the old people pass away and the chill
dren grow old; but the childheaIt that
is in Edouard Frere can not change
