Over in Churchill County, Nevada,
there is great curiosity, mention of
which We do not remember ever to have
seen in the papers. This Curiosity is
nothing more nor less than travelling
mountain OF sand. The winds have gath.
cred together great heap Of sand and
keep it constantly moving like an In
mense glacier. 1t crawls steadily along
over valleys and through canyons, never
ceasing, the sands making low, musical
sound as they rub against each other,
much as they do around the Sphinx every
morning at sunrise, which gave rise to
the legend that the. stony statue was
greeting The morning with a song
But the moving mountain of Churchill
contains still another peculiarity While
its sides are symmetrically formed and
lay in folds like soliGi6ed waves there is
no cone at the top. Instead of going to
peak there is hole there made by
counter winds. and whoever is rash
enough to scale the ridge and pass into
that hole pays for his rashness with his
life, for the tickle sands yield beneath bis
feet, and the more he struggles to get
back the faster he sinks until be is smoth.

eral Of their tribe having been thus swal.
lowed up, and no trace has ever been
found OF them since.
