Red &MOW.

A reporter Of a Denver paper, while
travelling recently among the Rockies,
found the snow on the tops of the ranges
as red as if it had been sprinkled with red
pepper. Upon digging down a few inches
it appeared clean aud white. He con-
cluded that the red dust must have been
meteoric iron, and in some way connected
with the recent protracted red sunsets.
Prof. Van Diest Of Denver disposes OF this
theory very briefly. 'tIt could not have
been meteoric iron, he said, "because iron
would, by its specific gravity, have sunk
beneath the surface Of the snow, and, in
addition to this, the color would not have
been red, as 1t is described to have been,
but it would have been more like ochre.
I imagine that the red substance found
upon the SNOW was the pollen Of some
flower which had been carried from a dis
lance by the winds. This has been noticed
before, travellers in the Arctic regions
having spoken Of seeing similar appear
ances upon the snow. Examinations have
shown it to be vegetable and not mineral"

That Missing PrOnOun.

The English language, with all its
boosted copiousness, is still in want of a
word, and hardly a day passes that any
one speaking the language does not feel
the want. The word is q word that shall
express personality without denoting gen.
der-a word that can be used in place Of
either he or she. The need OF such a word
ia too strongly felt by every one to require
much argument. At present W ways are
devised TO overcome the difficulty; ordi-
narily one would say, every one is the
architect Of their own Acknowledgement
but expressive. If the speaker is one &C.
customed to speak by the card. he says.
Every one is the architect Of his or her
own fortune"-cumbersome but exact.
Cannot some of our scholars devise a word
that shall predicate nothing whatever
about gender-that can be used indiffer-
emily for he or she We are told that lam
guage is constantly receiving additions;
can this really necessary word not be added
to our vocabulary Literary World.
No; it cannot. Our "grammarless
tongue" will go on growing impercepti-
bly,; but a revolution will rave to occur
before the ssdly-needed pronoun can be
taken in. The most arbitrary thing in the
world is language.
