One OF the most singular features of
the Territory of Idaho is the occurrence
of dark, rocky chasms. into which creeks
and large streams suddenly disappear and
are never more seen. The assures are
old lava channels produced by the out
side of the mass cooling and forming a
tube, which, when the fiery stream was
exhausted, has been left empty, whilst
the roof of the lava duct, having at
some point fallen in, presents there the
opening into which the river plunges and
is lost. At one place along the Snake.
one Of these rivers appears gushing from
cleft high up in basaltic walls where
it leaps a cataract into the torrent below.
Where this stream has its origin, or at
what point it is swallowed up is abso-
lntely unknown, although it is believe |
that its sources are long way up in the
north country. Beside becoming the
channels of streams, the lava condnits
are frequently found impacted with the
ice masses which never entirely melt.

Death on Cats.

One of the queerest Of the many queer
things about Leadville is that in all the
length and breadth thereof there lives
not = single cat. Cats have been i'm
ported here by the hundreds, and in all
varieties of color, Erecting, and size,
but not one has ever survived the Sec

to understand why it is that the cats all
die, but they do. The heslthiest, sleek
est cat in St. Louis, If brought to Lead
vile, would lose all interest in life the
moment it reached here, and, after mop
ing around in q sickly and disconsolate
way for few days, would resignedly
