STORMS AND RAILS.

How Rain appears to Follow the Laying
OF Railroad Tracks
A singular theory has been promul
gated in Mexico concerning an alleges
relation between the steel rails of rail.
ways and the prevalence of storms.
The northern section of the Mexican
Central road has been seriously dam
aged by washnuts. and people who OBJ.
served the phenomena express the opin-
ion that the waterspouts which burs
on the track were attracted by the
rails and the telegraph wire. An elec-
trio current, they say. runs along tho
track. which makes a convenient av-
enue for storms.
This would appear to be a somewhat
fanciful conjecture. but the engineers
engaged in building the Guadalaiara
branch of the Mexican Central railroad
offer testimony which gives it at least
an air of plausibility. They state that
as fast as the construction advances
rain follows. and thoy believe it is due
To the large quantity of steel rail on fiat

having its center at the point where the
steel rails are, the rain comes down in
torrents.
1t appears that enough Importance Is
attached to these theories TO induce
scientific men 10 make them a subject
of study. We do not. however, antici-
pate any Immediate practical results of
great value. With all the skill and
knowledge which the Government can
bring to bear. it has not yet succeeded

Lost Rivers of Idaho.

One of the most singular features in
the scenery of the Territory of Idaho
is the occurrence of dark. rocky chasms.
into which large streams and creeks
suddenly disappear. and are never more
seen. These assures are old lava chan
nels, produced by the outside OF the
molten mass cooling and forming q
tube, which. on the fiery stream becom-
ing exhausted, has been left empty,
while the roof of the lava duct, hav-
ing at some point fallen in. presents
there the opening into which the river
plunges and is lost. At one place along
the banks of the Snake, one of these
rivers reappears gushing from a cleft
high up in the basaltic walls, where it
leaps cataract into the torrent below.
Where this stream has its origin. or at
what point it is swallowed up, is utterly
unknown, though it is believed that its
sources are long way up i'll the north
country. Golden Days.
