THE GIANTS CLUB.

The valley of Green river is full of natu.
raj curiosities, in the shape OF sharp peaks
aud detached rocks. that seem to have been
tumbled about when giants, of magni-
tude we would scarcely wish to imagine,
were at play. One OF the rocks has taken,
or received, the name of the Giants Club,
and certainly the giant who could WELD 1t
must be of proportions more than colossal.
1t rises with almost perpendicular sides,
and the man who would attempt to scale it
must be of an adventurous spirit indeed.
A curious feature about the rock is its CON-
position, which shows it to have been
formed originally at the bottom of a lake.
The rock lies in regular strata, and most OF
them contain fossils of plants and fishes.
Tue plants are all extinct species, and
closely allied to our fruit and forest trees /;
but among them are some palms, indicst-
ing a warmer climate in the days when the
deposit was formed. DR.. F. V. Hayden,
an able geologist, who has spent seven
teen years in exploring the regions drained
by the Missouri and its northern branches,
has given attention TO the valley of Green
river, and examined its fossils. He found the
plants in the upper part OF the rock, and
about 100 feet lower down he discovered
the remains OF usueS, SI VI Such ueiOusiuS
to fresh water, and all extinct species.
Taey were imbedded in oily shales, and
insects were found with them, in re-
markedly good site of preservation there
were also the feathers of birds, and a few
seeds and water plants, along with the
fishes. This shale rock is so impregnated
with oily matter, evidently derived from
the animal life buried in it, that it can be
made to burn. On one occasion the work
men on the road built fire on the track,
and these petroleum shales ignited, and
burned for day or two. There are also
in these hills several beds of an earthly SUBJ
stance, which has been used in stoves for
fuel 1t is not really vegetable matter,
like coal. but masses of earth impregnated
with oil the oil burns out with a good
flame and much heat, though the great
mass of earth is still left Consequently,
it proved failure for practical purposes.
These rocks belong to one of the great
fresh.water lakes that abounded in this
region during the tertiary period. Leslie's

BEARS AND WOLVES.

1. would be difficult in all nature to find
two wild animals so Numerically opposed
in appearance, habits, and character as the
bear and the wolf Yet it would be diff
cult in all poetry to find two wild animals
more intimately associated. The sbamblng.
fruit. eating retiring, straightforward, and
mild-mannered bear has nothing in COM
mon with the agile, esh-preferring, ag.
gressive, treacherous, and ferocious wolf.
Nevertheless, in poetry they are as punctu-
ally and arbitrarily bracketed together as
larks and linnets, or apes and asses. Bruin
has had to suffer much in consequence,
first of all, of the ignominous famIliari y
which its dancing and being baited have
induced and, secondly, of its unfortunate
personal appearance. But when it sets it.
self going after anyone it wishes to catch,
the bear displays an agility and address
which those who have been hunted by it
declare to be amazing. And when it wishes
to get beetle. grubs out of the ground, ants
out Of their nest, honey out of bee-tree,
fruit from a slender bough, or birds eggs
out of a nest, it shows itself to be as
ingenious and skillful as any other animal
that has to live by its wits. To get,
for instance, at the BEETLE grubs 1t
scratches off the upper earth and then
sucks them up out of the ground-an ap-
plication of scientific process which no
animal without prodigious reserve OF air
force could hope to accomplish. When it
wishes to empty an ant. hive it knocks the
top off with its paws, and then, applying
it., mouth to the central gallery of the nest,
inhales its breath forcibly, thereby setting
up such a current of air that all the ants
and their eggs come whirling up into the
mouth like packets through a pneumatic
tube. When robbing bses it does not get
stung, and while after wild apricots or
acorns it not only balances itself with ali
the Judgment of rope. walker, but uses
its weight very cleverly 50 as to bring
other houghs within reach of its curved
claws. Nor while doing this does it con-
ceal what it is about. On the contrary,
when sucking out an ant-heap or grub.
hole, it makes such noise that on still
evening it can be heard quarter of mile
off, and when up tree, and not alarmed,
it goes smashing about among the boughs
as if bears were not only the rightful lords
of the manor, but as if there were no
such things as enemies in the world

CASNoNS OF SILK AND STEEL A Ger
man inventor proposes to make cannons
by wrapping steel tube vita silk until
diameter is attained corresponding with
the ballistic power which is required for
the cannon. For any given diameter, silk
possesses tenacity as great as that OF the
best tempered steel, and has the advantage
of a superior elasticity. After the tube
has been made, it is conferred upon lathe
which turns with great angular velocity.
Above and parallel with the tube are ar
ranged number of spools OF silk, which
cover the surface in the form of helix, by
means of guides, without leaving any
space between the threads. When the
desired thickness has been obtained, the
silk is coated with gutta-percha or hard
ened caoutchouc, in order to preserve 1t
from air and dampness. The silk being a
bad conductor OF heat, the gun can be tired
very often without getting hot, and it is
stated that it can be more easily managed,
since it's weight is only one-third as great
as if it were all steel. Thus the "leather !"
guns of old-barrels OF leather, bound
with iron hoops-are to fad an imitation
in cannons of silk and steel.
