WE GAG.

The Gazette and Journal have decided
that the izzle end OF Hand county's own
and only ''masheen" is a roasted skunk.
and tire the carcass at the PRESS to swol-
low. We are willing to undergo most any
hardship for the good Of the fraternity,
but as this deleciabIe dish was cooked by
the journal and seasoned by the Gazette,
we suggest the propriety Of them taking
some of their own medicine. Come. boys.
You are entitled TO the first choice cuts,

THE HUNGARIAN DESERT
Its Queer Formations and Interesting Pro-
ductiOns.

It's Queer Formations and Interesting Pro-
ductIOns.
The desert region called Zungaria,
which lies on the western borders Of
Mongolia, rises to a height of about
twenty-five hundred feet, but descends
from it at many points. The soil is
chiefly composed Of the clay called lOess,
a mixture Of very fine sand and a gray
or yellowish calcarous earth. This
argilaceOus mass is pierced, like a
sponge, by numerous tubes or pores,
which are often lined with incrusta-
tons formed by herbaceOus plants.
The winds and the rain shape these de
pOsits into abrupt, elevated, square-cut
masses. This property of forming a
+ kind of vertical cliffs, with the porous
texture and the absence of stratifca-
ton, are characteristic of the loess, as
is also the presence of terrestrial or
lacustrine remains instead of sea-fOs-
sis. Being exceedingly fine in cOnsti-
tuition and well charged with certain
salts, the lOess is generally, when well
irrigated, exceedingly fertile. In all
the tillable regions of Central Asia, in
GLIDING China, it plays the same part as
the "black earth" Of Russia The
mountains which form on the south the
western border of zungaria are rich in
minerals. Gold is an important pro
duct of the region Of Khotan, where
there are twenty-five mines, some OF
them employing three or four thousand
wOrkmen. This region has long en-
jOyed the honor of being the known
place where nephrite or jade was found
The beds of that rare substance was il
the district Of KaralIach; but the quarry.
ing for it has greatly fallen off since
the disturbances that occurred during
the brief reign of Vac pub Beg in Kash-
gar.-InteriOr.

and when the alarm reached them the
means of escape were partially cut of
and the building was filed with flames
