TEE tale recently Published in the San
Francisco Chronicle about the Yava-
supai Indians being newly discovered
race, causes considerable comment in this
section where the Supais are known, and
leads one to marvel at the gullibility Of
San Frahcisco newspaper reporters.
Hundreds OF men have visited the tribe,
and mines have been worked in Cataract
Canyon, near their home, for years. A
score OF more Of the Supai tribe have
been attending the grand dance Of the
Wsllspais at. at Thompson's ranch, dur
ing the past month. and passed through
blackberry on their way home this week
The wonders Of the Cataract Canyon are
many and beyond description, but the
discovery Of the Supais took place many
years ago. The prospector has visited
every portion OF Arizona during the past
twenty-five years. and the stories that
some laxative individual every once in a

Are the Oceans Disappearing

At a recent meeting of tie French Geo
logical society a communication from M.
Transchold of Moscow was read on the
non-invariability of the level Of the ocean,
1t terminated with the following con-
cluslons:
l.. In proportion as certain parts of
the earth's crust rise from the bottom of
the sea above its level the latter must be
lowered.
2. The surface of nearly all the present
continents have been at one time the bot
tom Of the sea. They rise from the water
partly because of the retreat of the waters
of the oceans.
3. As continents are formed, one part
of the waters of seas is transported to
them in form of lakes, rivers, eternal
SHOWS, glaciers, and organized substances.
Owing to these actions the waters Of the
ocean have been constantly diminishing
and their levels lowered correspondilgly.
4. In proportion as the earth cools
down, ice accumulates near the poles and
on mOuntains water is taken more deeply
Into the surface of the terrestrial crust,
the formation of hydrated minerals being
manifested everywhere. The result Of ali
these conclusions shows US that since all
the water that ever existed may still exist
in the form of perpetual ice, snow, hy-
drafted minerals, etc., the waters OF all
oceans gradually disappearing, and that
the lowering of oceans is going on even at
the present day to greater extent than
ever before.

John Bulls Gun.

Secretary Proctor has received
present of Il new Enfield rifle from the
English government as sample of
the style of arm now in use in the
British service, says the Washington
Star. 1t is handsomely encased in
polished wooden box. with silver plates
and corners, and lined with blue vel
vet. 1t is of the latest magazine pat
tern, thirty caliber and weighs about
ten pounds. The action is exceeding
~ strong and positive, the breech
mechanism being thoroughly auto
matte. The magazine is Il sheet-ron
case half an inch thick and about four
inches square, fitting to the underside
of the lock. A gate shuts it off at the
will of the operator, so that the gun
can be used either as magazine or a
siugle-tiring arm. 1t is provided with
a novelty in the way of lOng-ran%e
sight designed to cover distances from
1900 to $500 yards, but the ordinary
sight is not considered as fine us that
in use on the American Springfield
rifle The cartridges are shaped
somewhat after the design of the ia
nous Lebel cartridge, the leaden ball
being encaSed in thin steel sheet for
the purpose of preventing the dis
tortion of the bullet.
The bayonet is of Il new design, that
of broad-headed double-edged knife
sharpened at the point. 1t fits on the
gun in such Il manner that the sight is
not interfered with, this being Il new
advantage. The bayouet is provided
with Il leather sheath and is useful for
many purposes other than that OF iab-
bing into human vitals. Tue small
caliber of this gun is soon going to be
adopted i'll the American service, as it
has now come to be considered the
most effective. A board will soon be
organized to examine the various mag
azine guns of small caliber now in g.
with a view to the selection Of more
modern arm for Our forces
