feldspar. The sOnorous phenomenon
is exhibited only by the sand lying
below the extreme high water mark
but within that limit here and there
are patches closely contiguous to the
musical portions, which are silent,
From Prof. Bolton, Uf Trinity, and
Prof. Julien, of Columbia, most of the
information on this subject is derived
The facts, as far as known, are these:
The singing sand may occur in CONS
paratively small patches in the midst
Of ordinary sand; it always occurs be-
tween the limits OF high aud low tide.
The same sand does not produce sound
at all seasons, nor does it always give
forth like sounds, when wet it does
not emit sounds. 1t has also been
noticed that samples Of this sand
when transported in bags lost its SOM
orousness, but retained it when sent
In bottles. Of course, many theories
have been advanced to explain this
phenomenon, but none of them seem
entirely satisfactory. The most pro-
bable one is that it is produced by
friction between the angular particles
of the sand. Prof. Julien considers
that the conditions of sonorousness in
sands are perfect dryness, uniformity
of grain. varying from one-fitth to one
tenth of an inch in diameter, and
freedom from dust. SOnOrOus sands
are now known to be widely distrib-
uted throughout the world. They
have been found on the coasts of Scot
land and the Hebrides; on the coast of
California, in Nevada and on the
northwest shore of Lake Champlain; ;
along the shores of the Carrabbean
Sea, where in some places it is said to
be as loud as the barking of dog
and in several places in Asia, The
phenomenon is therefore widely dis,
tributed. d.-BOstOn Herald.

We have often noticed that, but we,

SOME NOZZLE THOUGHTS.

Some spice islands passed in the sea
Of reading N. P. Willis.
"Revelation is made by a spirit to
spirit; God hath revealed them to US
by his spirit THE spirit searcheth
all things, yea, the deepest things of
God,'
The spirit of God lies touching as it
were, the soul Of man, ever round and
near. On the outside OF earth man
stands with the boundless heaven above
him nothing between him and space
space around him and above him, the
confines OF the sky touching him.
''Men need to turn their thoughts to
God !; it is a necessity OF their nature to
commune, and to occupy themselves with
the Highest Being they cannot be happy
without feeling in their.hearts oon6ding
trust in the wise and kind providence of
an Infinite Father And in like manner
as they are wont to pour out their hearts
Itoparents. friends, or protectors, although
these may be well aware of all that they
have to say, and would love them and
protect and support them, though they
spoke no word, SO they also address
themselves to God, with calm, believing,
childlike hearts. They lift up their
Thoughts full Of reverence to the Ruler
of the universe they breathe gentle
sigh towards the Fountain Of all good.
This is prayer
"ln the prayer taught by Christ there
is only one petition for personal good,
and that a singularly simple and modest
one: "Give us this day our daily bread,
and even that expresses dependence far
rather than anxiety or desire.
From this we understand the spirit of
that retirement for prayer into lonely
tops of mountains and deep shades of
night, Of which we read so often in His
life. It was not 50 much to secure any
definite event as from the need of holy
communion with His Father.
Pray as He did, till prayer makes you
cease to pray. Pray till prayer makes
you forget your own wish, and leave it,
OIL merge it into Gods Will. The Divine
1 Wisdom has given us prayer, not as
means wherebyto obtain the good things
Of earth, but as means whereby we
may learn to do without them; not as
means whereby we escape evil, but as a
means whereby we become strong to
meet it. "There appeared an angel un-

Further investigation confirms the
 sad news of the sudden death of l Charles A Cosper from heart disease at Santa Rosa, on Sunday night 4 telegram announcing the sad event was received by his mother, Mrs. c. J. Fox, Monday evening. Mir. Cosper left home about ten days ago on a trip to the Sandwich Islands, and with a half-formed intention of ex- tending his trip to China and Japan. He stopped at Santa Rosa to visit his uncle, at whose house his death oc- cured. The remains will arrive in San Diego OF Thursday morning and tho funeral will occur at the Unitarian Church on Friday afternoon at an hour to be announced.
 The deceased was about twenty four years of age and was young man of very exemplary character. His inti- mate associates, who were among the very best young men of the city, all attest his manlinesS' and his intellig- ence. He was not free from some of those indulgences that are all but universal among men of all ages, as for instance the tobacco habit, but it is emphctically denied by those who knew him best that he was given to any such excess in smoking as has, upon transformation, been attributed to him by an evening contemporary. He was an affectionate and much loved son. His death is an almost unbearable affliction, both to his mother and his step father, MT. and Mrs. c. J. Fox. He Was an only son and came to San Diego with his mother some eighteen years ago. San Diego Union.
 Many of our readers will remember the deceased who was formerly re- sident of this city, having been em- ployed about four years ago in Spangenberg's gun store on Fourth street. He had many friends here and was general favoritc of those who knew him.

A Valuable Hooking Bird

Henry Durand has a mocking bird that is known from Jacksonville to Boston. The bird is probably the finest singer in the South. He is not only fine singer but valuable ad- junct to a restaurant. The bird seems to know when the dining-room is tllled with human tenants, and upon such occasions he will open his mouth and initiate spring chicken. The imita tion is perfect, and unless someone happens to spy the bird and point him out, everybody will begin to look for coop of spring chickens. The bird generally keeps up the imitation until the cry of the spring chicken so sharrens the appetite of the tourists that they order one. Out of season a spring chicken comes high, and when the tourist has paid his bill and gone the bird is given fresh potato (Ga.) Constitution.
