other large town, but the people had warning,
and most of them escaped. A mound covered
by fir forest now marks the site of the
buried village On the sd of September,
l714, occurred a similar calamity, attended
by the most remarkable escape recorded in
history. A Swiss peasant, alone in a shep-
herds hut, was covered, but saved from in
Jury by two enormous rocks which lodged
over him. With a small stock of bread and
cheese and the carcasses of some of his sheep
for provisions, he began to dig his way out,
and reached the surface eighty days later.
The frightened people of the adjacent village,
who had known him well, mistook him for a
ghost, and would not approach him till the
priest had assured them it was living man.
The most destructive landslide Of this CEN
fury was that of Sept. ., 1906, which covered
Goldau, Rothen and Busingen, in Canton
Schwytz, and destroyed $50 persons; but the
largest mass to fall was that of Tschingel,
some years later. This slide retained its
shape and form, and now constitutes a hill
nearly 1000, 600 yards in circumference, For
tunately, it landed in valley where there
were no villages, though Elm lies very near
it. The great calamity few months ago in
Japan can hardly be called Landslide, as the
whole surface of mountain was blown into
the air (by steam created by the breaking of
a lake into volcano), and, turning over, fell
upon a plain some miles away.

In March, 1859, it began to be suspected
that the continued rains of that season had
caused another fissure in the hill, but to the
eye it did not seem possible there could be
slide. Nevertheless, early on the morning of
the 18th it became plain that the outer part
Of the hill was moving. The mass slid down
so gradually that every one had abundant
time to escape, and finally it seemed to have
paused entirely, but in short time it moved
on till it crushed in the walls of the college
and rendered it total wreck. All the in
habitants in the vicinity hastened to remove
their goods, but the slide did not extend far
The dweIlers in mountainous regions are
sometimes deceived by the apparent solidity
of the rocky masses about them, for 1t often
happens that a ridge which seems one mass
of rock really has flaw or fault" ex-
tending entirely through it. In such case,
if the timber which aids to ''bind the hill" is
removed or if the earth is opened for mining
purposes, the separated mass Of rock gives
way and rolls into the valley. And it is

really surprising how slight an incline i'll
some cases is sufficient to give the mass ire
mendous forward impulse. Clay in well
moistgned condition appears to glide over
other ground as easily blocks of ice over
q smooth plank, and wi e there is a fault
in the rock it IS often lDund that the sepa-
rated surfaces are covered by what miners
call "slickensides'-t is, the surfaces have
rubbed against each other in past natural
commissions till worn smooth as glass. 1t has
then obviously been mere accident which
caused them to settle in any particular con-
dition, and very slight disturbance starts
them Off again.
This appears to have been the condition at
Quebec. The cliff, instead of being solid
rock, is a mere pile of blocks, and in that part
which has fallen the blocks lie upon each
other like enormous dice. A similar calamity
occurred near the same spot in 1871, In which
eight houses were crushed and thirty-two
persons killed. As In the Rocky mountains

Tar volume Of foreign immigration is
on the increase, not only in New York
city, but also in Philadelphia, Boston,
Baltimore and NeW Orleans. Every
steamer brings hundreds of immigrants
in the steerage and the cheap boarding
houses in English and German sea ports
are crowded with immigrants, awaiting
Il chance to secure passage. The out
pouring of people from the green sod OF
the Emerald isle is particularly heavy
this year. However, the class Of immi-
grants this year and last year is not very
desirable one. Theimmigration statistics
for 1883 and the fl rst four months OF 1850
show that more than two-thirds Ct the
immigrants which arrived in the United
States during that period were without
any trade or occupation, and came under
the general head of laborcrs, and q good
many seemed to have neither an inclina-
ton for nor knowledge OF work.

the law providing for the holding of the

appeal to the courts. A mandamus com.
polling the county commissioners to dc
their duty as prescribed by law can be
very easily obtained. This matter is
called to the attention of the Republican
