MOUNTAIN OF GLASS.
Interesting Details Regarding the
Obsidian Cliff in Yellowstone
Park

Park.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 13.-Among the scien-
tiic papers which will appear in the appen-
dix of one of the forthcoming reports of the
geological survey is one by Prof. Joseph p.
Jddings upon an obsidian cliff in Yellowstone
park. This cliff is an elevation half mile
long. from $50 to 200 feet high, the material
of which Prof. Iddings says: us as good a
glass as any artifcially manufactured" Its
colors and structure not only make it highly
interesting TO the visitor but furnish to the
scientific investigator phenomena of i'm
portance. The cliff presents partial section
of d surface flow of obsidian which poured
down an ancient slope from the
plateau lying east. 1t is impossible to deter
mine what the original thickness of this flow
may have been. The dense glass which now
forms the lower portion is from seventy-flve
to one hundred feet thick, while the porous
and pumiceous upper portion has suffered
from ages of erosion and glacial action. A
remarkable feature of the cliff is the develop
ment of prismatic columns. which form
its southern extremity. These are of
shining black obsidian, rising from
the slope and are from five to sixty feet in
height, with diameters varying from two to
four feet. The color of the material of the
cliff is for the most part jet black, but much
of it is notified and streaked with bright
brownish red, and various shades of brown.
from dark to light yellowish purple and olive
green. The luster of the rock and the strong
contrasts of cOlOrs with the black are very
striking. In places the glass in the process
of cooling has been broken in small, angular
pieces, which have been again collected by
the later flow. In some places the material
shows fine satin luster, while in others
deep golden sheen is noticed. which, under
the lens, resolves itself into thin beams of
red and yellow light. Through the black
and red glass are scattered dull bluish-gray
patches and bands, and round gray and pink
masses. the effect of which is to still further
vary the appearance and beauty of the rock
and make it the most conspicuous and char
acteristic variety of volcano lava known.

CHICAGO, Oct. 13.-The managers OF the
Northwestern lines to-day agreed to form
pool on east-bound traffic covering all BUSH
ness, except wheat and its products. The
pool is TO be for one year, with ninety days
notice of withdrawal after Oct. Is, 1887, and
goes into effect tomorrow, The west bound
pool was agreed to yesterday. j. n. Faithorn
was chosen as commissioner of the associa-
ton, and he will arbitrate the percentages.
The exemption of wheat and its products
takes out of the pool so per cent. of the
through business, and leaves the roads to
fight over the transportation of that amount.
As all Of the troubles and disputes have been
over this class of trade, the agreement re-
solves itself into q compromise whereby rates
are kept up on merchandise and live stock,
while the bulk of the traffic will be open 10
free competition. AS the present through
rate on -four is ~ cents, when destined for
Eastern points, there is not much margin
left for the lines to fight over.

The city ticket Office of the Burlington s.
Northern road at the Ryan is being fitted up
and will be the finest appointed ticket Office
in the city. 1t will occupy what was form
erly the writing room, fronting on Robert
street. When it first became known that the
Office of the Burlington would be IN the Ryan,
the other roads smiled with satisfaction,
congratulating themselves that the opposi-
tion line had located its ticket Office so far
from the center of business. Now it looks
quite different, as the Robert street car
line to West st. Paul will probably run by the
doors of the office, connecting with the
Seventh street line a half block away,
while the Jackson street road is but block
distant. The company could hardly have
found a location more central.
