Moving Towns.

The common method of showing the
slow changes of level of the land is by
recording at intervels the height of
marks on sea-coasts as compared with
the surface line OF the ocean. A more
striking exhibition Of the instability Of
the eternal hills has been observed in the
Jura mountains, where villages that were
invisible to each othsr at the beginning
of the century or even ,thirty or forty
years ago, hsve come into view through
the movement of the gronnd. The roof
appeared first, then the upper part Of the
walls, as in the villages of Doucier and
Marigny, near Lake Chalain. Even
within ten or fifteen years important
changes have been uoted.

The Direction of Sounds.

The average child, returning from
school, on entering the house calls
"Mamma The mother, perhaps, re-.
plies Eyes !" "Where are you % is the
next question, and the reply informs the
child not only as to the floor, but as to
the room in which the mother can be
found The child cannot determine its
mothers location by the sound of her
voice. This exaggerated instance may
be owing to the reflection of the sound,
not emily from the walls, but from the
strata of air differing in temperature and
humidity.
How many OF us going to the next
street, running at right angles to the car
tracks, can tell from hearing the bell Of
the approaching street car before the car
comes in sight, whether that car is going
north or south. 1t does not seem that
animals can determine the direction of
sound much better than man. The
sleeping dog, aroused by his masters call
is abroad as to his masters location, and
determines it by sight or scent, or both,
frequently running in several different
directions before hitting the right one.

he has kept entirely out of sight and the

Mr.. GEORGE ". Cbilds, of Philade

Mr.. George w, Childs, OF Philadel-
phia, is preparing another article for
LppincottS Magazine, giving his po-
litical and personal recollections. In
the course of it he will say:
Just before Gen. Grant started on
his Journey around the world lie was
spending some days with me, and at
dinner with Mr.. A. j. Drexal, Col. A..
X. Mcclure and myself, he reviewed
the contest over the creation of the
Electoral Commission very fully and
with rare candor. The chief signifi-
canoe of his view lay in the fact, as
he stated it, that he expected from
the beginning until the final judgment
that the electoral vote of Louisiana
would be awarded to Tilden. He
spoke of South Carolina and Oregon
as Justly belonging to Hayes, of Flor
ida as reasonably doubtful, and of
Louisiana as for Tilden. Gen. Grant
acted in good faith throughout the
whole affair. 1t has been said that
the changing of the complexion Of
the Court threw the Office into Hayes
hands, and that if the Court had re-
NAMED as it was Tilden would have
qeen declared President.

DUNN & HUNTER,
A New Law Firm Formed In This City.
From the Los Angeles Heraldl

ltrom tue Los AuBoieb hciauJ
Hon. Poindexter Dunn, who has been a
member of Congress for the past ten years,
from the State of Arkansas, and Jay L.
Hunter, Esq have formed law partner
ship under the firm name of Dunn d
Hunter.
General Dunn is q man Of scholarly at
tainments, q hard worker, and has o fine
legal mind.
As member of Congress he achieved q
National reputation as statesman. As
committee worker he had no superior.
He was for four years Chairman of the
Committee on Merchant Marine and Fish
cries, and as such Chairman dealt with
many important questions involving the
Admiralty and Marine laws of the United
States. HIS committee report to Congress
ON the Fur Seal Fisheries of Alaska" is o
highly interesting and important work con-
tanning some 500 pages.
1t contains an exhaustive review of the law
which gives the United States the exclusive
right to fish and catch seals in the Behring'S
sea, and also an interesting report on the
condition of the natives, habits of seals,
ETC., etc.
The Herald s now publishing series ct
letters on the fisheries question, taken f. +
the most part from this report, and it can
truly be said that it is notable example of
how thorough and painstaking General
Dunn does his work.
The Herald extends hearty welcome to
General Dunn as one of Los Angeles most
distinguished citizens, and judging from
his former success as lawyer and states
man, it is safe to say he will take high
rank at the bar of Southern California.
Jay e. Hunter, the junior member of the
firm, is well known here where he is re-
garded as one of the most prominent young
men at the bar.
He is a graduate of the law department
of the University of Virginia, and came to
Los Angeles from Texas three years since,
and by his energy, studious habits and
courtly manners has already built up lu-
crative practice and drawn around him a
wide circle of friends.
The firm will occupy Mr.. Hunters pres
emit commodlous quarters in the Bryson-
Bonebrake block.

The Worlds Exposition.

rive promised in our last to make
some extracts from letter handed
us by Mr.. A. w. Bryan, from son
of his residing in Basel, Switzerland,
concerning the great exposition in
progress at Paris, and what he saw
there. This we now proceed to
do.--ED.
We had, Belle and I, nine days in
Paris, and saw great deal Of
the great exposition. We assembled
the great Eifl tower, 81 yards above
Paris, and the winding Seine, and
had the metropolis of fashion and
the arts at our feet, and q vista of
40 miles ACCOMPLISHMENT to the sea
ut Havre. The elevators are always
crowded-two had to be made by
Americans, as no Paris firm would,
or could, solve the problem of run
ming on an incline-and hundreds
went up daily; many waiting in line
for hours for their time. We We're
there one night to see the illumina'
ton of the grand fountains, the night
that the Shah of Persia was there,
and 100000 people visited the ex-
hibit, and stayed till 10 at night.
We were with our very good friends,
the family of the Consul General
Mason, who used to be in Basel as
Consul. The crowd was immense,
and it would have been exceedingly
tiresome if we had not had rolling
chairs to pass the time in. The dis
play was grand, beyond anything 1
ever saw. The great tower away up
in the sky was ablaze with gas jets,
and immense Bengal lights that gave
it a weird magnifcence. The illum-
mated fountains were fairy-like, every
let of the thousands, Illuminated a
different color and changing like a
kaleidoscope. The effect is produced
by throwing electric lights from un.
derground up into the various jets
and groups, as they emerge, and it
was all very marvellous and indescrib-
ably beautiful, drawing continual ex-
CARNATIONS from the spectators as the
changes were wrought. President
Carnot and the Shah sat on balcony
in front Of the main exhibit building,
Autograph of which l sent you be-

the top Of the tower was directed on
them and the various groups OF
marble statuary in turn, and then

and other points in the city. Every
