GREAT INTERNAL FIRE.

So astonished was he at this discov-
cry that he was not disposed to believe
it could be so. Again and again he
made the test, always with the same re-
suit. Not satisfied with making the
observation at one point, he took sew
eral within a radius of three miles, and
his first observations were completely
confirmed. He says that about 1900
feet below the city of Findlay lies an
immense cavern, beside which even
Mammoth Cave shrinks into smallness.
1t is several miles long and in some
places more than half a mile deep.
This is crowded full of gas, which is
under a pressure almost uncomfortable.
Then come several strata of rock, per-
haps a mile in thickness, and then this
great internal fire, at a temperature of
over 1900 degrees. He says he discov'
cred something of the nature of the
strata that lie between the gas cavity
and the fires.

A POSSIBLE CATASTROPHE.

1t is at first solid rock, %impervious
and firm. Beneath this lies a great
mass of soft and crumbling stone badly
formed and full of assures. Then an
other layer of considerable thickness,
equal to the first layer in hardness and
solidity. The last of these layers, which
lies directly over the fires, is melting
away. About ten miles from Findlay
on either side, it is of great thickness,
but as the town is reached it increases
in thinness. The furnace beneath is
disintegrating it, and even %Iessening
the barrier between itself and the gas
wells.
From the tremendous cracking which
is to be heard by means of the second
instrument, it is almost certain that
the disintegration is going on with
great rapidity, and the professor seems
to think an early catastrophe not only
possible, but probable.

sometimes natures. Corn, large,
fine, white, superior TO western

Peaches, no finer or more luscious

grow almost spontaneously, re-

duce ten barrels of syrup TO the

ORIGIN OF SLANG.

Arkansaw Traveller.
A correspondent asks: "Why is
IT that The word rats has become
such popular slangW We do not
know Why rats became popular
unless it is because they have at
last decided not to die in the house.
The origin of the word rats as it is
now applied, expressive of disgust
or disbelief I'm statement. is to be
found in Shakespeare. Old Polo
MUS has hidden behind the arras
TO overhear the conversation held
by the darkly broodiSg prince and
his mother. The old man makes a
noise, and Hamlet, exclaiming: "A
rata rat" kills him. In England
there has been no departure from
the original. When some one tells
the Prince of Wales a fish story his
Royal Highness quietly remarks:
IA rat;n but Americans, ever in
tent upon enlargement, and ever
seeking the plural in all things,
say rats The origin of much of
the slang ofto-day may be traced
TO Shakespeare. To call a fulsome
compliment faffy' is declared by
the London Times to be an Amer.
icanism, but tits not. In the first
part of "Henry Nv" occurs this
phrase: "a candy deal of courte-
sy." Americans, seiziug upon so
gracious a hint. resolved the whole
phrase into ttafy,' which, We all
know is candy.

that will be hailed with satisfaction by
thousands interested in racing. The
fallibility of judges and the disposition

their decisions, even when they are
right, produce unlimited dissatisfaction
III the sporting world. In view of the
perfection to which photography has
been brought, it does seem that the
camera might be brought in as an aux

could give picture of the exact position

move all occasion for dispute.

ELAINE AND TRUSTS

The New York Tribune endeavors to
get Mr.. BLAINE out of hole by saying
that he has not defended trusts, but only
perceives the difficulty in legisating
against them at Washington. The only
difficulty experienced in legiSlating
against combinations at Washington is
that the Republican senators think, as
Mr.. BLAINE has said, that trusts are
private affairs and hot to be interfered
with. Whenever we get majority of
legislators in the two houses of congress
who prefer to serve the people rather
than the ''combines,' there will be no
difficulty i'll legislating aginst trusts at
Washington.
The Republican organs are engaged
in vain task when they attempt to
mend Mr.. BLAINE's utterances concern
ing trusts. In his advocacy of the iniq-
uitous trust system Mr.. BLAINE is hon.
estly in accord with the principles of
his party. The combines of every de-
scription are the legitimate offspring
of the policy Of protection. If it had
not been for the high tariff policy of the
Republican party monopoly would never
have gotten foothold on this continent.
AS long as the Republican party cham
pi0ns protection it is logically bound to
uphold all its cOncomitants, trusts in

the police. At the station the young
man expressed regret that he had not
killed the doctor and alleged that the
doctor had assaulted a young lady who
had gone to him for treatment few
months ago. DR.. Higgins was at a loss
to understand the reason of the attempt
to kill him, and laughed at the young
mans story, and expressed the opinion
that the young man was crazy or labor

we go by the side of Cleveland and

direction. Protection [scorntullyl is

Water Convention.
DENVER, Col, Aug. 27.-About SEQ
delegates from the states and territories
west of the Mississippi to the deep
water convention have arrived, and
about as many more are expected Oh to-
nights and tomorrow morning. trains.
The convention will be called to order
at 80 tomorrow afternoon by j. b.
Porter, chairman of the committee of
arrangements. Gov. Adams will de-
liver an address of welcome. From
present indications there will be bitter
fight between the AranSas Pass dele
gates and the Galveston men as to the
location of the harbOr at these points.
The majority of the Texas delegates.
however, are in favor of asking congress
to make the necessary appropriations
and leave its location to the govern
ment. Some are in favor of petitioning
congress for an appropriation sufficient
to build harbors at both Galveston and
-Aransas Pass. 1t is not probable that the
latter plan will be adopted, as the for
mer has friends in nearly all the delega-
tions now here. Thomas Mcconnell,
delegate from Dakota, is here. with a
proposition, which will be presented to
the convention. He asks congress for
an appropriation to tap the Missouri
rivec at point in the southeastern part
of Flannery county and construct a
canal, which shall be 16O feet in width.
twenty feet deep along the watershed
to the east between the Missouri and
the James, to point in Stutsman

length, and will cost s20,0O0,00O He
says that when completed it will not
only throw open to navigation over 500
additional miles, through u most ex-
cellent farming and agricultural coun-
try, but will afford irrigation facilities
for 32.000,0OO acres of land only lacking
an advantage of this kind to assist i'm
