The Sinking of the Eartb's Crust

The extreme sensitiveneSS Of the
earth's crust TO any changes in the dis
tribution Of weight upon its surface
is, however, best eXemplified by those
local dispositions and removals of mat
ter which have attracted more general
attention at the present day. The
chief of these is the transfer of matter
by river action to large tracts, and its
accumulation in such limited areas as
plains, estuarieS, and deltaS. Behring'S
of 400 to 500 feet have shown that
these often consist of long SUGGESTIONS
Of Sits, which alternating layers of
shells and of vegetable matter prove
to have been deposited at or near the
sea-level, and the Wealden and eocene
formation in the British area
show that such accumulations may
exceed 1000 feet 10 thickness. In the
case of deltas, subsistence must keep
the accumulation, and be confined
to the area over which the sediment is
being deposited, for any more rapid
subsistence would check its growth
and convert it into an estuary. This
sinking is apparently Of universal oc-
currence. a similar instance of the
transfer of weight from larger areas
and its precipitation on very circum-
scribed area is seen in coral atolls and
reefs. The explanation given by OAR
win requires a gradual subsistence
keeping pace with their growth, which
takes place within twenty fathoms OF
the surface only. This theory, simple
and admirable as it is, accounting sat
isfactorily for all the observed phe
nomena of coral growth, has been con.
tested by Mr.. Murray, who has shown
that atolls might be merely incrusta
tions of volcanic peaks. But this
theory seems improbable by contrast
for it demands 290 volcanic peaks al
the sea level in the Pacific coral area
alone, every foot of which has beer
completely concealed by coral growth
though few volcanic craters arr
known SO near the sea-level out
side this area. We seem thus t.
have in coral growths another eyiCenct
| of subsistence keeping pace with the
increase Of weight, sometimes, as
soundiDgs prove, to depth of 1000
| feet or more. The replacement CT {
column of sea water 100 fathoms il
| depth, by a column of limestone
would increase the pressure PEI
fathom from 61915 tons to 1887 tons
so that it is easy to realize how vas
must be the increased pressure or
such an area as that occupied by the
reef of Australia, 1850 miles long an(
10 to 80 miles broad. The sands
grayels, and clays. with marine shell;
and erratlc boulders, prove that {
gre submergence took place during
the glacial period, while Europe wa.
under an ice sheet 5000 feet thick il
Norway and diminishing to 1900 il
Central Germany. The extent Of thu
submergence has been perhaps under
stated at 600 feet in Scandinavia, an(
was at least 1850 feet in Wales. A cor
responding re-elevation accompanied
the disappearance of the ice. 1t hal
rotten been supposed that the sinking
ofthe west coast of Greenland IS SINH
larly Due to its ice-cap.-Nature.

An Awful Birthmark.

A most remarkable case of human
suffering, says Philadelphia specia
to the Baltimore Day, and one which
has steadily baffied medical science, is
reported in Springfield, Erie county
Pennsylvania. William Furgeson
when seven years of age, was seized
with severe Pains in his right hand
and though he is now forty-siX years
of age, he has been annually attacked
singularly though at each time suffer
ing more than at the preceding.
Commissions and paroXysmS now
visit him at exactly the same period
Of the year, and always at the same
hour in the evening. He is now
suffering the most acute agony,
and is visited by scores of
physicians, who in every case have
been comparatively baffied. By this
peculiar freak of nature his body be-
comes terribly contorted. Respiration
almost ceases, and he becomes for the
time being unconcious, and on awake
ing shows every evidence of having
passed through most terrible ordeal.
On being restored he becomes perfect
ly well. and is only troubled at inter-
walls of year, but with positive regu-
larity.
The case can only he accounted for
by the fact that Furgeson's mother,
shortly before his birth, saw the con-
tortions and evidences of agony ia
snake which had been thrown into fire
and that he has become thus birth

For the Body of the People
Nashville World

If protection were equally distrib.
llted among all the industries in this
land, the result would be that no one
of them would either be benefited OF
injured, and protection would be al
protected and others are not, the whole
system becomes a "blind pool" in
which a few reap great wealth and the
many pay for it. 1t is grab game
and being such, the workingmen arc
beginning to think whether it is the
rich and powerful or the weak and
needy who get the benefit. InaSmuch
as the mills throughout the United
States have discharged great mum
bers Of their workmen, and cut
down the wages of the Others,
this class now have the leisure to
reflect how protection protects them
In the meantime we call their atten-
ton to the fact that there are no tariff
barriers to the importation OF labor
but some very formidable ones tC
tools, machinery, clothing, sugar, and
the neces3arieS of life, upon which our
workmen depend for efficiency and
comfort. The tariff reformers are
looking to the interests of the work
ing men and women and the great
body of our people. Monopolists and
bounty grabbers will have to take a
back seat. By the way, did the work
ingmen ever hear the Nashville org oil
of subsidy and monopoly advocate the
doctrine of allowing them to supply
themselves with tools, machinery,
clothing, blankets, sugar and other
necessaries at the lowest possible cost,
or in other words, giving them a del
lars worth for dollar, without the
payment Of a tax on such articles of
some 40 per cent?

THE OHIO VALLEY SUFFERERS.

There is great distress along the
banks OF the Ohio river The great
est city lying on the Ohio is to a great
extent inundated, and the people of
towns and communities are driven to
despair in efforts to escape the terrors
of the flood. The entire Union beats
responsively to the distress which
manifests itself along the Ohio valley,
and people vie with each other in rem
dering aid to the distressed. In Gin
cinnati the people are terrified at
water, and yet there is a water fam
inc in a great part of the city; the
water works have been submerged, and
where there is so much water, people
famish. And yet this flood in the Ohio
river is nothing in effect to what is
experienced on the lower Mississippi.
In Ohio the waters rise and are con-
fined to narrow strip of country; in
few days the floods will have sub
sided and the work of repairing losses
will quickly follow damage DONE
How different it is in Arkansas and
Mississippi and Louisiana, where the
Mississippi river, catching the floods
of hundred streams, pours- them
forth over. the broad, leyI plains
f. 1m-~which they slowly recede fol-
weeks, often laying waste for an
entire season vast areas of i'm
proved lands. The taste these
people of western Pennsylvania and
Ohio and Illinois and Kentucky are
having of floods may awake the coun-
try to a realization Of what the people
in the lower Mississippi valley are
called upon to endure, and through the
affiiction of those sections necessity
for the protection ofothers may be re-
cogniZed in a manner to do good.
Here in I xas we should look on the
Affections f these people with the
greatest sympathy. We are enjoying
immunity from such distress, and it
is hoped the day when we may be thus
afflicted is far away. The terrors of
floods h We been often experienced in
many portions of the state, and there
fore our hearts well know how
to beat responsively to such distress.
1t may be that many persons here de
sire to aid the afflicted people of the
Ohio valley in their distress. If so,
there is way to show substantial
sympathy for them. In these Ameri-
can states there exists one great
brotherhood, and no part of the
Union should need aid without under
standing that every other portion
stands ready to contribute.

OPPOSING AGITATION.

Representative Hiscock. of New York
is one Republican Congressman at
least who is not afraid to let the coun-
try know his views in relation TO the
tariff bill reported the to House by Mr..
Morrison. He is one Of the Republic
can leaders, and as such he says the
Republicans have decided upon no
policy regarding the tariff, and, being
in the minority in the House, they
will not do so until it is seen what
course the majority will pursue in
relation thereto. In this connection
it is suggested that if Hiscock,
or anyone else, will suggest a
plan for tariff reduction without
agitation, it will be gladly accepted.
The Democratic party is not anxious
for agitation, but it is anxious to re-
form the tariff. 1t is charged with
the performance of that work and the
present is just as good time to do il
as any future time is likely to be. MIR
Hiscock admits that there is surplus
of revenue that must be got rid of
He does not think the surplus, how
ever, will be anywhere near as large
as it is thought it will be. He meets
the surplus revenue problem, how
ever, by proposing to strike off the
whole, OF at least half of the sugar
duty, and to repeal the duty on tobac
co. 1t seems thatIhis party has dropped
the idea Of making whisky free. i
is not popular. But why should th,
tax be removed from tobacco, which
is a luxury, and retained on blankets
and hunG other things which
are necessaries; and why SHOULD
the tax be removed from sugar, which
is strictly revenue article, while i
is retained on pig iron, which is not ;
revenue article? Mr.. Hiscock's argu
ments, which are the arguments o
the Republican party, are all in favo
OF the monOpolistS in this tariff mat
ter, while the Morrison bill is in tn
interest of fifty millions Of PEG pie. L
the Democrats in Congress will stan'
firmly by the position already takel
by the party, it will be seen that tn
people will endorse it; and Democrat,
will win in the coming federal con
test. The Republicans are welcom
to all the glory to be secured b,
opposing simple agitation.

Dress of Moorish and Jewish Women
i'm TuniS.

There were in Tunis enough Moors
Jews and negroes, in the strangeSt OF
costumes, to maze us feel already re-
paid for the long voyage. The very
peculiar dress of the Moorish and
Jewish women is much the same, the
only marked difference consisting in
the face covering of the former, which
the latter do not wear, reaching just
below the knees, white socks and tiny
slippers, into which the toes are only
thrust, so easily slipped off when en-
tering house; a very short jacket,
usually of bright colored silk, under
which several garments are WORD,
thus adding to their already great
size, and making them almost
at the back of the head and a
wrapped more or less loosely about
them complete the costume, with the
exception of the face covering. The
poorer classes of the Moorish women
wear black netting over the face,
leaving narrow opening only for the
eyes. A woman of the wealthy class
carries before her a handsome silk
mantle, the center of which, just over
the face, is entirely black, and woven
very little looser than the ends, so
that objects can be dimly discerned
through it. The mantle is
held little out from the
face, leaving narrow strip
of ground visible. The hands are
well spread oat, giving the walker a
peculiar appearance. They are never
allowed, even with this protection, to
appear in the streets until well ad-
vanced in neutrality-suspicious.

An Italian ON Bismarck,

Il
He is one of the most interesting
and incomprehensible characters that
have ever appeared in the history of
the world. Imagine an East Goth,
| inc culated with the culture of the
present time. Seen from the one side,
he appears as one acknowledging only
the worship of power violent, harsh
and merciless. On the other hand, we
see in him the man endowed with the
greatest moral gifts, open to the
influences of purest and highest
sentiments. The contradictions in his
character are passing strange; mar
velous is the wealth of his intellect
and unique his capacity for satisfying
the most contradictory claims. y
All through he is man of the North.
In him lives the poetic spirit of the
Northern races; the spirit of Shakes
peare is within him; at the same time
he is grave and jovial, rough and
graceful; and he has depth of
religious feeling unknown to the
Latin peoples. Bismarck is one
of the most powerful speak
ers that have ever spoken from
the parliamentary tribune. His elo-
quence, however, is not that of a
Cicero, charging on given subject
in smooth, harmonious figures of
speech; his is an eloquence like an ar
row shot from bow-rough, passion
ate, full of irony, springing, as it were,
upon his subjects, and penetrating in-
to their innermost depths. With Bis
marck we are never in the world of
words but always in the world of
facts. 1t is the mighty objectivity
of his speeches which makes
them attractive, even if con-
sidered quite apart from the cir
under which they are
made, and from the passion which in
spired them. He always leads US into |
the real drama of life, into the fight |
for existence, in the collision of men |
and things. Added to this his i'm
agination, in itself extremely lively |
and supported by a rich and varied |
knowledge, which brings to his mind |
the most surprising pictures and CON-
parsons, and it is easy to under
stand that this combination of
gifts stamps Bismarck's elo-
luence with the greatest origi-
nality. But nowhere do we see him
more attractive, and, as it were, more
human, than in the letters, to his wife
md sister. They are mostly notes
rom his tours abroad, short epiStleS on
lis state of health and his occupations,
I'll full of grace and life. They show
PARTLY that in the midst of the heav-
est troubles the elasticity of his spirit,
he clearneSs of his views, the ironical
of all things human,
he sense of the beauty of nature, are
till preserved. In some of these let
ers he gives way to a deep poetic SEN
iment, and it is here that his best and
IobleSt side is seen.

Raphael Faith Hall, 3I2 K street
Northeast Washington, says the Post,
is the first place of worship opened by
the new sect, whose mission is to heal
and save by prayer and faith. At the
meeting held thG re Sunday afternoon
there were fifteen persons present.
Mr.. Randolph, assistant at DIR. Lodges
church in Georgetown, presided. lie
said that persons could be cured by
the prayer OF the righteous man, and
could be raised by the amounting with
oil and laying on of hands. These
things are all rs true to day as during
the life of Christ, but the people have
lost these powers because they are I'M
worthy.
Mrs. Perry Icing then called on,
stated that she had not been told OF
this cure by faith by anyone, but it
had come to her IN this way: My
child was sick and l did not expect
him to live. was lying awake one
night thinking OF him, when God said
to me: Arise, Go to thy child and
anoint him with oil and pray and be
shall be cured l did as / was CON.
manded, and there are those who can
testify to the immediate recovery Of
my boy"
Mrs. johnson, wife of Lawyer
johnson, then stated that she ha(
been ill far many weeks, so that sht
could not talk. She wanted those en-
gagged in this work to come and speal
to her, but could not get them. Sht
then asked the Lord to send them tx
her, but he replied: lam here, speal
with NE and pray with faith, and sht
did so and was cured.
Mr.. Raymond then added the test
mony of his own cure by faith, ant
then asked if there were any pre- sen
who had petitions to be prayed for
whereupon one lady stated that he
sister had been an invalid from child
hood and asked the prayer that perfec
health be given her. Another said sh,
wanted prayer offered for lady il
Tennessee, who had written her tina
her sight might be restored. A lad!
who was present stated that she hat
been sick for years and was scareei!
able to be out of the house, and aSke(
the prayers of the meeting. A gentle
man then requested prayer for his
father-in-law, that his mind might b
restored to him.
