A Hot Springs crank, named Fergu.
son, has sent us a copy Of a pamphlet
he had published for the purpose of
refuting the theory of the science of
astronomy as at present accepted. His
theory is that the earth is shaped some-
thing like a saucer, raised IN the cen
ter, dug out Of a square piece of rock.
He proves conclusively-by the Bible
that his shape theory including the
four corners is correct. The sun is
5000 miles away, and is 80 miles in
diameter, but what the square earth
stands on we r not informed. There
seems to be a "whole lot" Of waste ma.
terial about TIE corners which is not
suggestive Of good economy. The
pamphlet appears to be a scheme to
advertise Hot Springs. and as such, 1t
is a bright idea.-HM City Tin Miner.

of the popularity of the Prince of
Wales, it may be stated that the
levee held by the Prince on Satur-
day was one of the most brilliant
ever held in Queen Victoria's reign,
and was attended by more than the
usual number of the better class of
nobility. The Prince appeared in
the best spirits, and had evidently
made up his mind to be more Dem
ocratic in the future. He smiled in
his winning way, and there was an
utter absence of the stolid hater
which the Prince used to wear to
such effect.
