CHOLERA rs COMING.
A Forerunner Of the Black Plague
Recognized In a Blue Fog
In Ohio.

CHICAGO, April ia dispatch
from Cleveland, o., says: Many res
idents of this city are much alarmed
over the appearance for several
months past of a thick blush fog,
which appears to issue from the
earth. Its presence is regarded by
persons conversant with its previous
appearance here as ominous of an
approaching epidemic of cholera. 1t
is a singular fact, cited by those who
went through the cholera plaques of
1866 and earlier years, that this same
blush fog has always preceded an
outbreak of the dreaded scourge, and
that 1t has not been seen in this city
until this week since the last cholera
epidemic. Scientists here, whose at
tention has been called to the fact
believe that conditions favorable TO
the creation of this fog are favorable
to the spread of cholera contagion.

The silicifed forest of Arizona
known as Chalced Park, is undoubtedly
one of the greatest of American Won
ders, remarks Mr.. Geo. T. Kuntz. This
marvellous deposit, eight miles south o.
Ccrriza, covers thousand acres and
consists OF fallen trees which have be-
come buried siliclfied into probably a
million tons OF agate and jasper. Some
of the trunks are $50 feet long and ten
fee. in diameter, and others are broken
into every conceivable shape. Silicided
wood is found in many parts of the
world, but nowhere else is it so beauti-
fully colored as here, every imaginable
shade of red, green and brown being
presented. The most remarkable fea-
ture of the park, and phenomenon
perhaps unparalleled, is the Datural
bridge of agatized wood. spanning a
canon, flfty-five feet wide. The tree is
from three to four feet in diameter, and
