idaho st-cams That vanish.

One of tho peculiar features of Idaho
scenery IS tho frequent occurrence Of
dark rocky chasms and channels of
lava into which streams and rivers
plunge and arc apparently forever lost.
These assures are supposed to be old
lava beds. Tho outside of tho molten
mass cooled and formed o roof, the
fiery stream below became exhausted,
leaving an empty chamber. A break
in this roof having occurred, an open
ing was formed into which the river
or stream now disappears, to ireappear
as a mysterious lake, basin or spring
on some distant mountain or plain
On the banks of the Snake river one
of these streams reappeaTs, gushing
from high cliff in q cataract to the
waters below. Scientific American.

The Increase of BaIaness.

1t is curious how caducity has in
creased, and the prevalence Of it taken
away the old reproach. All the argu-
ments are against It's existence, and
all the facts prove that the arguments
are misleading. People lead healthier
lives now than they used to do, and
yet they are balder. People lead
longer lives, and yet they grow bald
earlier and, moreover, it is the
healthiest people who arc often
the baldest. Indeed, it almost be-
comes question whether in
these days badness is evidence to a
very reliable extent either of age or of
delicacy. Of the decay Of vital power
BIT is certainly no conclusive proof
Consumptive patients and persons suf-
fering from lingering disease are not,
as a rule, bald, and more frequently
than otherwise seem to put a great
deal Of strength into their hair Ton

A soUDANESE THREAT.
The Africans Propose to Turn tho Milo
from Its Course

The Africans Propose to Turn tho Milo
from Its Course.
The warlike Soudanese, who have
so stoutly resisted the introduction of
civilization into their land, arc now
found, according to Sir Samuel Baker,
TO be masters of the situation to de-
gree for which even the fall OF Khar-
foum has not prepared the outside
world. They hold the key of the Nile,
and prudent and thoughtful men who
know the geography of the Soudan
and the resources and recl1lessness of
the natives believe that that they are
capable of turning that great river out
of its present course and bringing ire
itrievable ruin upon Egypt, It appears
that In the inaccessible Businesses of
the desert, where the bayonets of
Europe cannot reach, there is q spot
where even savage African engineer
ing will suffice to find the Nile short
cut to the sea, and they have already
threatened their enemies with this dis
aster.
If the work is done fertile land
nearly equal in extent to the states of
Illinois, Indiana, Ohio and Michigan
will be changed into a desert and
population of millions will be blotted
out OF q country that is the oldest in
history. No such gigantic menace has
ever before been held out in the annals
of the world, and never before has it
been SO possible that q grave threat
would be fatally carried out.
1t is figure of speech when we
talk about the nations changing the
map Of Europe; the wild spearsmen of
the Soudan have it in tho hollow of
their hands to alter in fact and deed
the map of Africa. They can, if they
please, we are told, spread the Sahara
like a great yellow pail fully across
the continent from seq to sea. They
can build rampant of sand
against progress that progress can
not cross Such tremendous power,
such q mischievous possibility.
gives an interest to the Egyptian prob
lem that brings it home to every
nation. The pyramids have stood
since the morning of time; empires
and dynasties have risen and have
fallen, and they have not been stirred.
Yet the ignorant savages in the desert
are their masters and can bring the
sand upon them to bury them as the
temple Of Jupiter Ammon and the
Sphinx itself were buried. If the
savage wills the. sacrifice, a flood as
fatal as that which Pharaoh
persisted can SWEEP Egypt out of exis-

Importance of Recording Deeds.

Due record of deeds is a matter of
vast Importance in transfers, even
though a deed be perfectly good with
out record against the grantor himself
and his heirs, and although "a deed
not recorded is just as good as il it had
been recorded against any parties or the
heirs of any parties who took the land
from the grantor by subsequent deed,
even for a full price, if they had at the
time notice or knowledge Of the prior
andi unrecorded deed" Neglect of
registration is a fruitful cause of ex-
pensive worry and litigation. Regis
tered judgments, heirs unexpectedly
turning up, mortgages whose satisfac-
ton has not been recorded, rights Of
dover and courtesy, both of which
conveyancers would gladly abolish in
order to facilitate transfers, are diff
culties in the way of undisputed title.
Equity ultimately decides in courts OF
law who is entitled to possession, but
due precaution in search and record
would, III most instances, nullify the
need of resort to it. All titles are
cleared by sale under judicial decree.

Invention of tho Shot Tower.

There was once q mechanic at Bris-
toll, England, who had queer dream.
Watts was his name, and he was bv
trade a shot maker. The making of
the little leaden pellets was then a
slow, laborious and, consequently,
costly process. Watts had to take
great bars of lead and pound them out
into sheets Of thickness about equal
to the diameter of the shot he desired
to make. Then he cut the sheets into
little cubes, which he placed in a re-
volving barrel or box and rolled until
the edges wore off from the constant
friction and the little cubes became
spheroids.
Watts had often racked his brain
trying to devise a better scheme, but
in vain. Finally, after ON evening
spent with some jolly companions at
the alehouse he went homo and turned
into bed. He soon fell into deep
slumber, but the liquor evidently did
not agree with him for he had a bad
dream. He thought he was out again
with the boys" They were all try
ing to find their way home when it
began to rain shot Beautiful glob-
ules Of lead, polished and shining fell
in a torrent and compelled him and
his bibulous companions to draw their
heavy limbs to place of shelter.
In the morning, when Watts arose,
he remembered the dream. He thought
about it all day, and wondered what
shape molten lead would take in fall
ing a distance through the air. AT
last, when ho could ressn longer, he
carried ladleful Of the hot metal up
into the steeplo of the church Of St.
Mary, Of Radcliffe, and dropped it
into the moat below. Descending, he
took from the bottom of the shallow
pool several handfuls of perfect shot,
far superior to any he had ever seen.
Watts fortune was made, for he had
conceived the idea of the shot tower,
which has ever since been the only
means employed in the manufacture
of the little missiles so much used in
war and sport.-Chicago Mail

THE FLYING MACHINE PROBLEM

Lesson Taught by the Bird-Three Indis-

The reason of this wonderful effect

Unite ages, especially in birds. During
the whole geological history of the
earth this machine has been steadily
improving in structure of skeleton.

NO machine that we may hope to
devise, for the same weight of ma

SO effective. And yet this machine
thus perfected through infinite ages
py o ruthless process of natural Selec-
ton, reaches its limit Of weight at
about fifty pounds! / said, weight

Here IS another prodigious advantage
OF the natural over the artificial ma
chime The flying animal is its own
engineer, the flying machine must
carry its engineer. The directing en-
gineer in the former (the brain) is per
haps an ounce, in the latter it is $50
pounds. The limit of the flying ami
NAL is fifty pounds The smallest
possible weight of flying machine,
with its necessary fuel and engineer,
even without freight or passengers,
could not be less than 500 or 400
pounds.
Now, to complete the argument, put
these three indisputable facts together:
1. There is low limit of weight, GER
tainly not much beyond fifty pounds,
beyond which it is impossible for an
animal to fly. Nature has reached this
limit, and with her utmost effort has
failed to pass it. 2. The animal ma
chine is far more effective than any
we may hope to make; therefore the
limit Of the weight of successful fly
ing machine cannot be more than
fifty. pounds. 8. The weight of any
machine constructed for flying, in
Guiding fuel and engineer, can not be
less than three or four hundred
pounds. Is it not demonstrated that
