Mn.IcaI Sands.

An examination Of the musicul sands
of Kauai. California, which has excited
81 much interest ON the part Of geologists
and others. shows that they possess pc
culiar microscopical structure. The grains
are found to be chiefly composed Of small
portions Of coral and apparently calcare-
Gus sponges. they are all more or less
perforated with small holes, in some in
stances forming tubes, but mostly termin-
ating in blind cavities which are fire.
0uently enlarged in the interior Of the
grains. communicating with the surface
by small opening. There were also in
the sand small black Particles, formed
principally Of crystals of augitc nephe-
line. and magnetic oxide of iron, embed
ded in a 2latsy matriX. The structure of
these grains explains, it is thought, why
sound is emitted when they are set in
notion that is the friction against each
other causes vibrations in their substance,
and consequently in the sides of the cavi-
ties they contain-and these vibrations
ucing communicated to the air in the
cavities. under the most favorable condi-
tions for producing sound, the result is
the loud noise occasioned when any large
mass Of sand is set in motion, there being,
in fact millions upon millions Of resonant
cavities, each giving forth sound.

even more horrible when l stepped out
and secured stronger light, and directly
my nerves were so unstung at the rccollcc-

out Of the cave into the open air. As I

When Icrept out of the ravine another
bloody spectacle awaited me. The In

them from wandering away, and none of
the party had been left in charge. The
grizzlies had come upon the horses first,
and every one Of them was dead on the
grass, and horribly mutilated. They
bad not been killed to satisfy hunger,
but to crafty fcrocious wliim.

The stuff at their camp fire consisted Of
blankets, robes, ammunition, and powder.

there was nothing to prove that they were
