than 10000 feet above sea-level, and
about 65 miles from Cotopaxi. A
dense column of smoke was seen to
rise suddenly from the volcano to a
height Of about 10000 feet above the
sea, when 1t was borne westward some
20 miles by strong wind, and then
gradually spread in all directions. In
few hours the cloud passed between
the observers and the sun, and color
effects surprising in vivid intensity
those of the most gorgeous sunsets
were then witnessed, the sun itself ap-
pearing green. As the cloud passed
overhead and surrounded the noun
tain climbers the brilliant colors
ceased to be seen, while an exceed
ingly fine dust fell upon everything
This remarkable observation seems
strongly confrmative of the view that
late unusual sunsets and other atmos-
pheric phenomena have been due to
volcanic dust floating in the air.
Of the IA scientific expeditions sent
out by the leading governments of the
world to make observations at differ
ent stations in the Arctic regions dur

Lady Franklin Bay-will continue
their observations for about another
year.
Luminous creatures are probably
much more numerous than is generally
supposed. According to Prof. c.
Collingwood, every class of animals
except that of birds includes repre-
sentatives which, under certain cir
cumstances and conditions, have been
proved to be capable Of giving out
light.

The Boise Democrat is in error
when it states that several thousand
fraudulent votes were poled in this
county at the last election. 1t is true
that several hundred mot thousands
of railroad laborers voted along the
Oregon Short Line, but they had a
right to vote; and although it is also
true that these men do not reside in
this county, yet our population has
greatly increased during the past year,
and will greatly increase this year, so
that by next fall we will be- able to
poll larger number of votes than we
did two years ago. The re- -apportiol,.
ment proposed by Mr.. Singiser is
therefore, as already stated by the
TINES, eminently Just. If the Dem.
ocrat had the good of the Territory at
heart, it would not oppose the bill,
because it will only secure just repre-
sentation to all the counties, and thus
enable the Territorial Legislators to
enact laws more suited to our Varied
industries than those which now exist.
But tile hll, while just in it's effect,
will disturb the balance Of power now
enjoyed by the Mormons, and therein
lies its principal objection to the Boise
Democrat.
