SAND PILLARS.
Some II the Wonderful Phenomena OBJ
served by Travellers.

served by Travellers.
The innumerable sandy mounds
found on the vast plains of Central
Asia were not easily accounted for;
but recent traveller Witnessed u phe-
nomenon that he thinks fully explains
their origin. Once in crossing one Of
these desert regions he saw about
twenty pillars Of sand suddenly rise
and whirl along in the distance. As
they passed along, cloud Of dust was
raised on the ground, apparently eight
or ten yards in diameter. This gradu-
ally assumed the form of column,
that continued to increase in height
and diameter as 1t moved over the
plain, appearing like a mighty serpent
rearing It's head aloft, and twisting its
huge body into contortions in It's efforts
to ascend.
The pillars were Of various sizes,
some twenty and thirty feet high, and
some ascended to near two hundred
feet. As the whirlwinds began gather
ing up the dust, one might have fancied
that antediluvian monsters were rising
into life and activity. Tho smaller
ones seemed to trip lightly over the
plain, bending their bodies in graceful
curves as they passed each other; while
those Of larger dimensions revolvcd
with gravity, swelling out their trunks
as they moved onward, till the sandy
fabric suddenly dissolved, forming
great mound, and creating cloud of
dust that was swept over the desert.
The same writer, in referring to a
phenomenon Of totally different char
acter, says: Many Of my readers know
nothing practically OF the mirage, and
thus they can neither appreciate the
beauty Of this deception, nor estimate
the disappointment it creates. l fear
my pen can not give an adequate idea
Of its tantalizing power on the thirsty
traveller. 1t has, however, often fallen
TO my lot to witness it, when an appar-
ent lake stretched out before me,
tempting both man and beast 10 rush
on and slake their burning thirst. Even
after years of experience / have been
deceived by this phenomenon, so real |
has it appeared, and SO many of its
peculiar and magical effects have been
preserved.
Sometimes vast cities seemed rising |
on the plains, in which multitude Of |
towers, spires, domes and columns were
grouped together with picturesque
effect that neither poet or painter could |
depict And these were reflected in |
the deceptive fluid with all the dis
tinctness Of mirror; at times a slight |
breeze seemed to ruffle the placid sur
face, destroying the forms for a few
minutes, and then they reappeared.
Sometimes have been almost induced
TO believe that vast tropical forests
were before me, where palms of gigan.
tic size, with their graceful foliage,
overtOpped every other tree, and that |
beyond were mountain crests, giving |
reality to the scene that caused me for |
the moment to doubt its being a phan-
tom. At last have passed over the
spot where the lake, the mighty city,
the vast forest had appeared, and found
nothing but small bushes and tufts ai |
grass growing on the steppe,- Yoath's |

Wonders Of Progressive Arithmetic In
Counting Ancestors.
The number Of o mans ancestors
doubles in every generation as his
descent is traced upward, Ia the first
generation he reekons only two an
cestoIs, his father and his mother. In
the second generation the two are
converted into four, since he had two
grandfathers and two gFSndmothers.
But each Of these four had two parents.
and thus in the third generation there
are found 10 be eight ancestors-that
10, eight great grandparents. In the
fourth generation the number Of an
cestors Is sixteen; In the fifth, thirty
twoi In the sixth, sixty-fouf; In the
seventh, l28. In the tenth it had risen
to 1,024; in the twentieth It becomes
1,04S,576; in the thirtieth, no fewer
than 1,07S,74l,SS4. To ASCEND no
higher than the 'tssepty:foult6 t60ae sener, r.
alton we reach the sum Of l6,77F,215,
which is great deal more than
all the inhabitants Of Great
Britain when that generation was
In existence. For, u we reckon o
generation at thirty.three years. twenty
four of such will carry us back 792
years, or to A. D. 1892, when William
the Conquerer had been sleeping in his

son WILLIAM II, sprnamed Rufus, was
reigning over the land. At that time
the total number Of the inhabitants of
England could have been little more
than two millions, the amount at which
it is estimated during the reign Of the
Conqueror. 1t was only one.elghth Of
