How the Colorado Desert Was Formed

Everybody knows, without looking at
the map, now Lower California runs south
from the Pacific coast like a sort of tail,
separated from the United States-for it is
part of Mexico, Us some people are not
aware-by long arm of the sea called the
Gulf of California. Once upon time the
gulf exteI ded in northward direction 300
miles beyond it's present inland limit. Into
this north erly extension the great Colorado
river emptied millions of tons of detritus
annually, until the deposit accumulated in
quantity sufficient TO shut off the upper
part of the gulf, which was thus trans
formed into a lake. To begin with, of
course it was salt lake, but it gradually
became fresh through the influx of water
from the Colorado. Thereupon fresh water
fishes, mollusks and other creatures not OF
the brine were developed in it, and in this
way it happens that the dry bottom today
is covered with their fossil remains

Georcia Snake Stnrr-

There is n story going the rounds down in
Georgia that the other day one of three
ladies, while crossing a road, accidentally
stepped on snake. The serpent coiled it.
self tightly around the lady's ankle and
the effect was electrical. His snakeship
had hopred on a dynamo without know
ing it. The lady turned on the power, and
after describing two or three sharply elon-
gated circles with her heel in midair, the
snake, unable to stand the pressure, re
Taxed his grip and sailed back TO earth,
and fell near lady No. q He rather liked
the fun and Immediately hitched onto No.
2 in the same manner. The curtain was
rung up, and the fun began without delay
Sizz wenC the lightning pedal violently,
with an engine lever motion, and swash
went his snakeship through the air. I'm
able to hold on, he turned loose, and
dropped 1t the feet of No. 3. Quick as
thought lie tackled the next d namo, with
the same result.
Here il occurred for the first time to the
gallant little snake that he was in Georgia
and that Georgia girls were electrical, and
that Georgia people are never so happy as
when they can tell lie on a snake, and
that about the best thing he could do just
then was to escape to the woods before he
was sized up and examined carefully for
rattles. After thanking the ladies for the
entertainment he made his bow and sought
the timber. This is the gist of this Georgia
story, with many of the details omitted

At this moment two historic and rov,I
personases who are crossing the staDa Of
the world seem to be stamped by the fatal
ity of the ancients. They are like two evo.
cations Of Kschylus or Euripides THEY
suggest Edipus and Jocasta, One 10 the
Emperor Francis Joseph, the other the
Empress Eugene. On both a crushing
fatality seems to rest.
One, mounted on the throne, saw herself
precipitated from it in the midst of its
greatess ulster. Struck to the heart bv

rem, Sedan, she saw her husband led away a
prisoner after having surrendered his army
to the victor. She saw her palace invaded
by the threatening mob, and deserted nv
the flood of courtiers she was accomnanied
to her exile only by that American CITIZEN
by that Thomas w. Evans, who alone was
faithful N misfortune
She saw her husband, FRUSTRATED nv
pain and adversely, die inglorious in that
exile; and finally her son, her only son
on whose head conferred all her pride ali
her nope persisted in a barbarous and lone
some land, far from Europe, far from all
that could cast last ray on his premature
grave. And yet she lives, she goes about
she talks, she revisits Paris, she goes to
see Its monuments, she even enters that
Palace OF Industry which she inaucurated
and which even years ago was looked upon
as Babylonian dream, and she passes,
an incarnation of fatality under the as
tonished eyes of the people who gaze upon
her.
The other is Francis Joseph. He ascend
ed the throne amid the noise and trepida-
ton of fearful storm. He successfully
received Mt the heart those triple poniard
thrusts Magenta, Solferino, Sadowa. He
signed. bowling with rage, that treaty of
Prague which snatched from his brow the
German imperial crown; then, amid the
gloomy solitude which made his domestic
hearth desert, he learned the mysterious
catastrophe which deprived him of his only
son, the heir OF his crown, the only future
and the supreme hope of the empire.-De

When read of new railroads and other
Improvements being made in Palestine
when the telegraph tells me that they are

unconsciously my mind reverts to the odd
combination above set forth 1t is the pre-
diction OF Nostradamus, a celebrated ply
stefan and astrologer of France, who died
in 1866 aged sixty years His prediction
was made in Latin, over 300 years ago, and
declared that the end of the world would
come in the year in which Good Friday
came on 81. Georges Day, Easter on ST.
Marks Day and Corpus Christi on ST.
Johns Day. In the year 1886 occurred for
the first time that odd combination of holy
days. But still the world stands, or
rather floats. But may not that year really
have been the beginning of the end"
The signs clearly indicate that some
great change is about to take place. All
thoughtful observers declare that Quarter
of century will see the downfall of all
the old monarchies of Europe. Com
munism, nihilism and anarchy are bub-

empire dissolved, her landed estates di-

NEW YoRK, Dec 24.-When it was an
nounced that Edward M. Field had become
insane and had involved his firm, his family
and many Of his friends in his ruin, the
minds Of certain persons reverted to a ia
nous Tarrytown mystery Ever since it
became known that the woman, who was
In turn identified as Dolly Davis and Pur-
cell Marina, had once been seaustress in
the family Of Edward NJ Field, at Dobbs
Ferry, and afterward his wife's companion,
and that she had been a mother without
being wife, the police and the public put
ting two and two together, decided that
Mr. Field had ruined the girl
1t has been learned however that Mr..
Field treated her only with kindness, but
many things arezi in greater darkness than
before and as a Whole the Tarrytown mys-
terry is as great mystery as ever.
On June 20 man noticed the body OF a
woman of Croton Landing. He pulled il
out of the water and some one identified
the body as that of Dolly Davis, an actress.
Then Frank Atwood, Of Tarrytown
claimed the woman as his wife. He said the
womans maiden name was Purcell Marina
Later two women positively identified the
body as that Of Mary Eugenie Josephine
Arigasei Mrs. Edward M. Fields compan.
ion. The women were Marie Marguerite
Arigasei a younger sister Of the dead WON
an, and Mrs Louise Orelli, who had known
the dead woman intimately.
1t was suspected that Field had sent At
wood TO identify the body and get IL out ol
the way. 1t now turns out that younl
Frenchman named Duval and not Field wa
responsible for the girls condition; that hs
came to America after her to marry her
and not finding her committed suicide.

The WORLD OF POLITICS.


why Governor Hill Pardoncd Supervisor
Thomas y. weIch.
ALBANY, Dec. "a Governor Hills reasons
fur pardoning ThomasJ Welch, the Onon-
daga county supervisor sentenced 70 thirty
days imprisonment by Judge Kennedy for
contempt Of court, are given in a long opin-
ion. He says The proceedings under which
II is attempted to infict this punishment
grows out Of the canvass Of the votes cast
at the recent election in Onondaga county.
1t does not appear that Welch disobeyed
any order Of the court directed to him.
Judge Kennedy made an order requiring the
board Of county oanvassers TO send back the
returns for correction in certain election dis
tricts The order was without precedent,
and its legality is open to serious question.
''The board, meeting under the compul-
sorry mandate, and after it had passed a
resolution that there were no errors appear
ing upon the returns requiring correction,
directed Welch TO take back the returns
Before he could comply he was subp@naed
TO produce the returns before me upon the
trial OF charges of official misconduct against
the clerk of Onondaga county One Of these
charges was that the clerk had made GER
tain alterations of those returns, and the
charge could not be properly determined by
me without the actual production Of the re-
turns. Az soon as the hearing was con-
cluded the papers were corrected, as the or
der Of the court required.
II am entirely familiar with what has
taken place in this county during the past
thirty days, by which it has been attempted
under the guise Of Judicial proceedings to
compel the board OF county canyassers to.
/ declare results not authorized by law.
/ Every member Of the board was justified in.
resorting to all honorable and lawful means.
to prevent the oonsummation Of the great
wrong which was contemplated. 1t was
sought to substitute a partisan judge in
\ place Of the board OF canvassers and to null
\ lify the plain provisions Of the ballot reform
law. Never before in the history OF the
state has there been such an arbitrary use
Of judicial power attempted. There is an
other sufficient reason why executive Glenn
ency should be interposed. Welch has made
application for a stay Of proceedings pend
| ING an appeal from Judge Kennedys order
adjudging him in contempt which has been
arbitrarily denied.
ut is for just such exceptional cases that
the pardoning power was wisely vested by
the constitution in the governor, and there
should be no hesitation to exercise it when
| invoked in such a case"
