THE LAVA BEDS.
Geological History OF the Great Plateau
of the West.

AAN NFNaNH
WASHINGTON, May 26.-Capt. Clarence
Dutton, Of the Ordnance Department. who
for ten years past has been studying the
great plateau region OF the West, says, in
forthcoming report 10 the Geological
Survey, that the great plateau furnishes
evidence of alternating periods Of mois-
ture and dryness, OF great and sudden
uplifts Of great areas, and Of slow and
lOng-contlnued rising in others, and OF the
denudatiOn OF immense tracts, and the
cutting OF canyons by the waters. In the
study CT the Zuni Mountains he finds
reason Tor the conclusion that the noun.
tains Of the West have not been produced
by horizontal compression, but by the ac-
ton Of some unknown forces beneath,
which have lifted them up.
Upon the extensive plateau Of which
Mount Taylor Is the centre ne finds ample
confirmation of the theory that the vol
canic cap which once covered so large 4
portion OF the region, and which still tops
many extensive Wesas, had its origin, not
in discharges from immense volcanic
mountains like Mount laylor itself, but
through lnnumerable vents through the
sedimentary strata. These evidences con.
sist largely IN numerous huge "necks" OF
pure lava, from tae vicinity Gf which the
sedImentary deposits have been eroded.
These nocks arc the contents OF once ex-
isting tunnels, through which The molten
lava was forced TO spread itself in thin
cap over the level country above. They
explain the existence Of lava beds az the
present time so lar distant from the near
est volcanic mountain as 10 preclude the
superstition that the two ever had any
connection.

A VERY EXPERT BURGLAR.
Frenchy's Artistic Work Since He Has

Frencny's Artistic WORK since he mas
Been Out of Sing Sing.
NEW YORK, May 26.-On April 81 the
safe Of Smith & Co. was broken open and
a $1,000 and a S1,750 bond, two watches
and $50 in cash stolen. On Thursday
night the safe OF G. B. Harton & Co. was
robbed of 1924 and some postage stamps
and carriage tickets. The work was done
IN so artistic a way that Inspector Byrnes
concluded that Frenchy, a burglar of great
skill, was the artist. Frenchy has been
out Of prison since January and the In
spectOr knew where to find him, and had
no difficulty In arresting him on Saturday.
In his pockets We're found wax impress
siOns of keys. In his room was a circular
combination safety lock 50 skillfully con-
trived that it could not be picked and an
impression of it could not be taken. In
the room of his daughter, Rose Kent,
the detectives found complete and beau
tiful set Of burglars tools, excellent little
steel saws. crucibles for melting stolen
silverware, fuses and'skeletOn KEYS with
out number. They also found what had
been stolen from Smith & Co. and Harton
Il Co., except the money. Rose said her
father had brought the things there,
wheTeupOn Frenchy confessed having a
hand in both hurglaries. His real name
is Gustave Kent, but he has a dozen
aliases. He is AZ years old and smart,
skillful mechanic. When in Sing Sing IN
1874 he invented a lever lock by which a
single key could unlock one or all the
cells in a tier. He offered the invention
for his freedom, nut Gov. Tilden rejected
it. He has been in prison many times
and escaped more than once. He told
Byrnes tsat be was planning to rob the
/ Butchers aud Droyers' Bank with Frank
Mccoy, well-known burglar and MUIR

How Extraordinary Quantities of the Sweet
Dclicacy Were Discovered.
Two extraordinary takes of honey
have been made in West Surrey. For
the last sixteen or eighteen years a col
ony of bees has taken possession of a
niche between the walls of the Hautboy
and Fiddle Public House at Ockham,
near Ripley. The outer walls of the
building are about three feet in thick
ness, and the bees made choice of their
storehouse at the very top of the build
ing, which is three stories high. The
landlord and landlady, with their
daughters, resolved this year upon find
ing out the exact whereabouts Of the
colony. A diligent search was made
one morning under the roof Of the
house. and a piece Of comb was found
Immediately below the states, but in
such a position that it could not be
reached. Mr.. Smith, helandlord, then
descended to the bedroom, and with
| chisel and hammer removed a number
of bricks from the wall, where the
whole stock of bees was found.
| More than two feet square of the wall
had to be removed, when q wonder
fulsight presented itself. A large mass
| of comb, about two feet in thickness,
filled with honey. was exposed. The
bees were fumigated, after which large
pieces OF honey were cut out, until dish
after dish was filled with a total guam
tity of about one hundred and twenty
pounds. The bricks have not been put
into the wall again. but a glass door
has been inserted. so that any one in
terested in bee culture may have an
opportunity of seeing them. Another
and still extraordinary take Of honey
has been secured at Winters Hall,
Bromley, the seat of Mr.. George Bar
rett. Some men were sent to take
some bees which had got between the
ceiling of the c%oach-house and the
granary. They succeeded in taking
three hundred pounds OF honey. The
bees had been engaged in their novel
hiding-place several years. 1t was q
very interesting sight to see the way in
which they had worked.--L0ndon Stan

THE SMALLPOX.
Vaccination and the Protection Il AFFORD.
to Children and Grown People.

Vaccination and the Protection It Affords
to Children and Grown People.
During the sixteenth and seventeenth
centuries it was estimated that from
seven to twelve per cent. of all deaths
were caused by smallpox; but since
the general introduction of vaccination
the proportion has been reduced to less
than ono per cent. Among unpro-
tected persons, however, it still kills
a large proportion Of all who are at
tackled; while those who recover are
often left manned, disfigured and dis
eased for life.
At the present day, every case of
smallpox has its origin in some previ-
ously existing case Of the disease. It
is transmitted both by contact and
through the atmosphere. The conta-
gious element retains its vitality for a
considerable time, and may be con-
veyed great distances along the lines
OF travel in the clothing and baggage
of infected persons. It is in this way
that we are in danger of suffering from
the effects of the epidemic now pre-
vailing in Montreal; and for this rea-
it is of special Importance at this
time to know how the disease may be
avoided.
When cases have actually occurred
in any community, something can be
done towards preventing the spread of
the disease by means of isolation and
disinfection. By far the most import
ant means of prevention, however,
both before and after the appearance
of the disease, is found in vaccination.
When properly performed and duly re-
peated, this is both safe and effective.
As one attack of smallpox in nearly
every case protects from all subsequent
ones, so vaccination, which substitutes
a disease similar in kind but milder in
degree, is found to be equally efficient
as a means of prevention.
One successful vaccination in child
hood protects until the age of fourteen
or fifteen, when it should be repeated;
and this is usually sufficient for a life
time. In case of anticipated exposure,
however, it is safer to repeat as often
as every seven or eight years.
Pure animal virus is to be preferred,
and is now commonly used. Under
ordinary circumstances only persons
in good health should be vaccinated.
Cases of skin disease may be tempo
rarily aggravated by it. Children
teething, or who are weakly, or under
six months of age. are not desirable
subjects. But, in the face of immedi-
ate danger, all minor considerations
should give way, and universal vacci-
nation is necessary for the safety of
both individuals and the community,
while every unprotected person is a
source of public acknowledgement

Why Many Farmers Fail.

Much land and little working capi-
tai, with perhaps less skill, it seems to
us is what keeps so many farmers be-
hind in the race. They are trying with
a n%inety-nine stroke to overtake COM
petitors who get in their one hundred
and one strokes, when one hundred
would take either to the end in time.
The odds are against them. Yet We
believe there is no better place for a
person who can only claim average
ability than on a farm. The ten years
experience must have taught some les
sons that will be of use in the future.
1t is no use to be discouraged because
Il has not become independent in ten
years. Many aprofessional man, many
a business man and the large majority
of laborers can show no better record
at the end of their first ten years in
business, nor a all pay their honest
debts. which our farmer friend always
has. Our advice is to ''stick."-N. Z.

EATING BEFORE SLEEPING.
The Gnawing of Hunger Before Retiring
Should Not BE Resisted.

The Gnawing of Hunger Before Retiring
Should Not Be Resisted.
We have long been of the opinion
that it is better to eat moderately of an
easy digestible food before going to
bed, than to resist the cravings of real
hunger, for fear that the lunch will in
terfere with sound slumber. A late
supper Of + rich aiSh2faS11 ggh5sh may may breed
BAD tdt reamse,S as 1t may make one un-
comfortable if he sits up some hours
after; but rational eating at Il late hour
will disturb the slumbers of none but
the confirmed ~dyspeptic. A recent
writer has some sensible remarks on
this subject, from which we extract the
following.
Man is the only animal that a be
taught to sleep quietly on an empty
stomach. The brute creation resent
all efforts to coax them to such a viola
ton of the laws of nature. The lion
roars in the forest until he has found his
prey. The horse will paw all night in
the stable, and the pig in the pen, re-
fusing all rest until they are fed: The
their own provision for a late meal
just before dropping off to their night
slumber. r
Man can train himself to the habit of
sleeping without a preceding meal,
but only after long years of practice.
AS he comes into the world nature is
too strong for him, and he must be fed
before he will sleep. A child's stomach
is small; and when perfectly filled. if
no sickness disturbs it, sleep follows
naturally and inevitably. AS digestion
goes on the stomach begins to empty.
A single fold in it will make the little
sleeper restless; two will awaken it,
and, if it is hushed again to repose, the
nap is short; and three folds put an end
to the slumber. Paregoric or other
narcotic may close its eyes again; but
without other food or some Supplying
drug. it will not sleep, no matter how
healthy it may be. Not even an angel
who learned the art of minstrelsy in q
celestial choir can sing Il babe to sleep
on an empty stomach. It is a fact es-
tablished beyond the possibility of con-
tradiction, that sleep aids digestion,
and that the process of digestion is
conducive to refreshing sleep. Itneeds
no argument to convince us of this
natural relation. The drowsiness which
always follows a we'll ordered meal is
itself a testimony of nature to this
inter-dependence. The waste of human
life by the neglect Of the lesson is very
great. The daily wear and tear of the
body might be restored more fully
than it usually is if this simple rule was
not Systematically violated.-Popular

Fraudulent Mendicants.

A London Society for the Suppression
OF Mendicancy has handed owe two
hundred thousand begging letters to a
committee, in consequence of which
over sixty thousand professional vaga-
bonds and imposters have fallen into
the hands Of the police. One beggar
carried with him a tongue in alcohol.
which, as a notice informed the public,
was his own tongue, lost by & surgical
operation. Examination showed it to
be a sleeps tongue. Vienna has also
an association for the discovery and
punishment of impostors on public
charity. The / greatest difficulty is
caused by those who feign epilepsy; and
the famous Munich surgeon, DR. Nuss-
baum, relates the case of a prisoner
who, in order to secure certain COM
forts allowed the sick. feigned epilepsy
SO successfully that for several years
he deceived the prison doctor, as well
as another physician called in to assist
in his examination.-N. Y. Post.
Prof. Muttrich. of Berlin, has reached
the following conclusion from his
forest meteorological researches: That
the forest exercises a positive influence
Oh the temperature of the air; that the
daily variations of temperature are
lessened by the forest, and in summer
more than winter; that the influence Of
the leafy forest is in summer greater
than that of the pine forest, while in
winter the :,tempering influence of the
pine forest preponderates over that OF
| the defoliated forest. An attempt to
| determine the influence of the forest on
the mean annual temperature led to nc
| surN results. 49,.
