The Formation of North America.

The opinion is expressed by an emf
tent American scientist, in a recent lee
ture, hat the North American CONT
tent had the beginning of its formation
in islands of matter rising out Of the i'm
mense ocean, which grew until they fl
nally touched Zach other. Many of these
islands were volcanoes that threw up
matter that had formed below the sur
face of the water, and were larger below
the water than above it. The Hawaiian
islands have had many volcanoes, and
were much formed by them. The whole
area above the sea is no more tina that
Of the state of Massachusetts, but their
combined bases must be equal to the
whole of New England and New York.
Thus the original islands of this conti-
lei could easily have been made to en-
large and JON each other, and the gran
lite rock is so abundant was once erupted
from volcanoes, like flowing lava.
Among the first volcanic islands must
have been Greenland, Canada, east of
Winnipeg, the Atlantic district, the
Rocky mountains ane .ne Sierra Neva-
das; hat as the islands rose and enlarged
great depressions would naturally COM
mence and go on, and in this way the
depressions of Hudson's bay, the Missis-
sippi valley, and the Salt Lake and Ne
vada basins were formed. These de-
pressions would fill with massive
sediments, which would eventually be-
come rocks, and the5depressions would
have a saucer or platter shape.-Chicago

GIVING a list of the representative vot-
ing against consideration of the scheme to
reduce the treasury surplus, the Chicago
Current calls attention to the fact that the
gentleman named voted to prevent a
discussion Of the greatest financial scandal
of the age" and concludes its remarks as
follows:
"While the Democrats are at present
responsible for the goldbug contraction of
the currency and the boarding of $751;
900, 600 beside the ~greenback reserve, yet
of the thirty-iour unpatriotic congress-
men who thus attempted to throttle in
quiry into Mr.. Jordan's practices, all are
Republicans except Willard. 1t is a
black list"
Such n vote as this, whatever may be
said of the intrinsic merits of the case,
should be condemned merely as an at
tempt TO stile free discussion. Any
question of Importance is surely entitled
to be fully considered by the representa-
tives of the people, and the treasury sur
plus bill has been accorded hat considera-
ton by the Democratic house. What
will be its fate at the hands Of the Re-
publican senate remains to be seen.
Periodically enough, this proposition to
pay off a part of the national debt has
already been denounced as a preliminary
step toward the reputation of the

The markets of Irkutsk are an inter
esting sight in winter time, for every
thing on sale is frozen solid. Fish are
piled up in stacks like so much cord
wood, and meat likewise. All kinds of
fowl are similarly frozen and piled up.
Some animals brought into the market
whole are propped up on their hind legs,
and have the appearance of being act
ually alive; and as you go through the
markets you seem to be surrounded
by living pigs, sheep, oxen, and fowls.
But stranger yet, even the liquids are
frozen solid and sold in blocks. Milk is
frozen into a block in this way, with a
string or stick frozen into or projecting
from it, for the convenience of the pur-
chaser, who can take his milk by the
stick and carry it home swung across
the shoulder. So. in a sense which is
unknown in other countries, n man can
buy his drink with "a stick in it.'|Cen-
trail Siberia Letter.

THE Y

All the testimony adduced in the Payne
case, though largely consisting, according
to eminent Republican authority, of gar
bled extracts and er pdrte statements, has
failed-in the opinion of leading states
men Of both parties-directly to implicate
that senator or to bring home to him any
charge of guilty knowledge or participa-
ton in the alleged bribery. Still, it is
entirely probable that money was used, if
not to procure his election at least to
secure his nomination by the caucus of his
| party. Such things have been and over
come, without provoking special wonder;
transactions of the kind have occurred in
Kansas and California, have been sus-
pected in Colorado. and have not been
unknown even in Nevada. There is no
occasion, therefore, for any sensational
Indignation or parade Of outraged virtue.
Though it may not be strictly true that
as Puck represents the attorney general as
saying-'They all do it." yet the offense
is not new, nor has it been infrequent. At
least such is the popular belief. establish
ing such a charge by legal evidence,
where it has been attempted, has proved
a very different thing, nor would it be easy
except in a fragrant case, not likely to
occur unless either the briber or the
bribed should be a fool. conclusively to
prove a charge of this nature. The rem
edy-if any exists to be found not in
punishment. but in prevention by a reform
in public sentiment which must begin at
the very source Of the evil and recognize
the truth that any vote cast from personal
motives involves a subsection of the voter
to undue influence, whether he be a
simple elector supporting a candidate on
account of supposed advantage to accrue
to himself, a representative advocating a
measure which promises to bring money
into his district, or a senatorial lawyer
championing in the chamber the cause
which he has been hired to advocate in
the forum. The question of guilt is
merely relative; in either case, morally
speaking, the offcnse differs only in de-
gree from that absolute corruption which
involves a vulgar transfer Of current coin.
The senators do well to let their colleague
alone, and if only those that are without
sin among his fellow citizens should cast
stones at him the ceremony of lapidation
must be indefinitely postponed.

DIR. Pllmpsoll's account OF n tenement

indeed, anything ever reported from the

"Boiled oil or animal oil will do pretty
well, but this oil will stand a greater de-
gree of cold without congealing than or

common oils. The demand for it has
arisin through the publication by the
photographic office of the value of oil

fashion to use oil. 1t is a singular char
acteristic, but many old sea captains
boast that they are not book sailors, and
take a pride in refusing to do what the
books recommend and in refusing to

A few months ago, perhaps last fall,
there was II perfect perfume craze II
swept through the fashionable and I'M
fashionable sets of New York society,
women especially, and reached some few
other cities. The masculine element,
everywhere known MS 1.-THE dudes took
1t up also. Not druggists only, but dry
goods houses, and every store where
women most do c~ongregate, in New York
city, were called on hourly by crowds of
women, who went from house to house

sary to keep duplicate stock on hand and
nm experienced set OF clerks who could
discriminate between bona flde customers,
n those who took this method of re-
plcnishing their mouchoir case and toilet
stand.
The craze took such proportions that
the result disguised the originators of it,
and it was suddenly dropped by the elite,
until now perfumers tell us there is far
less demand than usual for perfumery,
N good taste has asserted its sway, deli
cate, refined and natural odors being
mostly in demand.-Cor Cleveland Leader.

ATTITUDES AND HEART DISEASE.

The Risk Which Some People Run-Dnn-
gers of the Higher Levels.
The Medical Journal has just reported
a paper read before the American Climat-
illogical association, by DR.. A. L.
Loomis, of this city, which may be of
vital Importance to many people propos-
ing to visit mountain resorts the coming
summer. DR.. Loomis datails four cases
in which heart disease was brought on
by a change from a lower to a higher
altitude. Two of these cases were per-
sons going to st. Regis lake, in the Adj
rondacks, at an elevation of only 1000
feet. One was that of a visitor to the
Catskill mountains, and the fourth had
gone to Colorado. Though a relief was
afforded them by a return to lowerlev-
els, they all died within four or five
weeks.
AS the result of his experience in
twenty-six cases, DR.. LOOMS concludes
that "the risks which one with even
slight cardiac insufficiency runs by pass
ing from a lower to a higher altitude is
certainly very great; and, if the INSULT
cheney be extensive, such change be-
comes Immediately dangerous" This
conclusion, strongly supported as it is by
DIR. LOOMS data, is especially important
when i. is remembered that cardiac in
suficiency may exist in those who give
! no evidence of it while at, or moder-
ately near, the sea level.
1t is well known hat %sojourn at the
high resorts of the Swiss Alps is contra
indicated for persons suffering from dis
eases of the brain, heart, or the
large vessels. The change in the blood
is due to deficiency of oxygen (calcula-
ton will show that ordinarily at an alti-
tude of only 1000 feet 173.4s grains less
of oxygen are inhaled than at sea leveD
would alone explain the perils which
many people incur by exchanging tide
water for high mountain air.-New York

Ia HARMONY OF coLoRs.
Selections in Fitting Up Apartments

Selections In Fitting Up Apartments
Dressing, Etc.-HInts to Merchants.
Bv harmony of colors we understand
colors placed side by side in such n man
ncr that they do not injure the effect OF
each other; rather, on the contrary,
complete each other, i. e., they gain in
intensity.
Those who are familiar with the har-
mony of colors can. by using objects of
familiar use, make such selections in fit
ting up apartments, in dressing, etc, SO
that with the greatest simplicity they are
able to produce a more favorable effect
than is possible with the most extrava-
giant expenditure without a sense of har-
mony in color.
A merchant, dealing in colored goods,
can very greatly improve the appearance
of his stock by knowing how to group
them in such a way as to produce a har-
monious effect. Very often, owing to
a lack of taste with reference to colors
among dealers. it will be found that the
silks in one shop will appear muc h
fresher and brighter than in another.
This difference in effect to colors is, how
ever, nothing more or less than one mer-
chant arranges his goods so that the col
ors are in harmony, while the other does
not follow any definite plan. In the
first instance the goods gain, while in he
second they lose in intensity of color
The attention of the ladies is particu-
larly called to the importance of har-
mony in colors, for the most of them in
the selection of their colored dresses,
bonnets, and trimmings, produce the
greatest discord in the composition of the
colors. Harmony in color does not de-
pend on the will or caprice or personal
taste of an individual, but it is based On
the Interchangeable laws of nature, which
we shall Immediately discuss.
Red and Green-A red body reflects
green rays, while on the other hand, a
green body reflects red rays. Therefore
green is the color which completes red,
and similarly red is the color which COM
pletes green. Both colors, therefore,
gain in intensity.
Blue and Orange-A blue body often
reflects orange rays, and inversely
an orange body will frequently re-
fleet the blue rays. Orangeis, tn ~srefore,
the complementary color of blue, and
vice versa, therefore each color intensi-
fies the other.
Violet and Greenish Yellow-A violet
body reflects greenish yellow, and in
versely n greenish yellow body reflects
violet. Both %colors, therefore, complete
each other, and intensity each other. :
Indigo and Yellow-Indigo reflects
yellow, and yellow indigo rays, hence
they are Complementary and intensity
each other.
1t would carry us too far to describe
all the other colors which are compile
mentary.-Lithographer and Printer.

DAY is OVER.

Waves OF color that come and go;
Yellow and purple slowly paling, &.
Flush of pink in the after glow;
Booming bees forsake the clover -

Faster and faster from hazy hollow,
Night is closing on field and wood;
Out Of the west the l~ate-bound swallow
Hastens back to the crumpled brood;
Stately-winged, the n~ight-hawks hover

A bell in the distance sounding slow;
Still the light Of the rosy weather
