Lost Rivers OF Idaho.

One of the most singular features IN
the scenery of the territory of Idaho is
the occurrence of dark, rocky chasms,
into which the creeks and large streams
suddenly disappear and are never
more seen. The fissures are old
lava channels produced by the
outside of the mass cooling and
forming tube, which, when the fiery
stream was exhausted, has been left
empty, whilst the roof of the lava duct,
having at some points fallen in, presents
there the opening into which the river
plunges and is lost. at one place along
the Snake, on of these rivers appears
gushing from cleft high up in the
basaltic walls where it leaps cataract
into the torrent below. Where this
stream has its origin, or at what point
it is swallowed up is absolutely un-
known, although ii Is believed that its
sources are away up in the north
country. Besides becoming the chan
nels OF streams, the lava conduits are
frequently found impacted with the ice
masses which never entirely melt.

Progress I'm Chiua.

The exclusiveness Of the Chinese na-
tion until very recent years Was proven
bal, and the fear of even a superficial
intercourse with those whom it was wont
To term "outside barbarians" is not yet
fully overcome. But gradually, under
the infirence of commercial treaties
with the United States and European
nations, Il change of great Importance
has been wrought in the policy and
views of the Chinese government. Only
fifteen years ago did China consent,
largely through the instrumentality Of
an American, the late Mr.. AnsOn Bur-
lingame, who represented the United
States in that country, to enter into re-
gular diplomatic relations with other
nations, and any benefit which has re-
suited TO either of the parties In inter-
est therefrom is to be credited III the
main to that gentleman's eXertIOns.
China herself being land of an antique
Oriental civilization, with AL aristOcra-
cy founded entirely upon scholarship,
the representatives whom she has sent
| to foreign nations have been well equip
ped to observe intelligently and report
upon the facts that make the civiliza-
tiOn of Western peoples the hope
of the whole world. That the travelled
statesmen of China have proved acute
observers and have made reports upon
what they have witnessed in foreign
lands of sufficient weight to modify the
internal politics of their own country
in many directions is already quite
manifest.
A most striking illustration OF this
point is given in the recent edict that
| the construction of railroads as an aux
iliary to the network of water commi-
nication throughout the empire has the
governments sanction. Lii Hung Chang
the Viceroy, is known to he a man of
liberal views in statecraft, and is said
to have acquiesced in the new railroad
projects in the firm belief that in view
of the utter lack of native talent and
training for such enterprises they can
only be prosecuted successfully under
the full financial and executive control
of foreigners in the Chinese service
This in itself is a great concession Oh
the part of the Lord of the Vermilior
Pencil, and means, If the scheme shal
be carried out, that the whole vast
Empire will be thrown open to the IN
fiuences of Western civilization. Asd,
from the material advantages which ar,
likely to follow from so radical a step
the construction of railroads in Chin,
would certainly break down eventaall,
every remaining barrier of exclusive
ness, and allow the Christian mIssiona
ry to engage freely in his work.

the "EIgin to Chicago" ticket into his
