THB %IsLAT

The LmERAL had the pleasure last
week Of Inspecting the legislature
while ia session at Santa Fe. The
sessions are held in the territorial
capitol, a building which is in appear
ance, a cross between one of Walter
SCOTS castles and a modern peniten-
tiary. II is built OF a dirty. rotton
sandstone and is structure of which
only a iaundiced man could be proud.
The first floor is on the level OF the
ground, and in it are the Offices of the
Governor, Secretaryand other officials.
The second floor contains the supreme
court room and the council chamber,
while the third floor is devoted to the
house Of representatives and to glory.
The interior, finish, furniture and
decorations are what might be called
spotted" Some of it is very fine,
some is medium and the rest jim
crow, but paint like the charity and
glory which are indigenous to the
ancient town, covers a multitude OF
sins.
The most important piece Of furni-
ture ina building of this size. the eleva-
tor is noticeable for it, absence, which
was explained to the writer by the
builder of the structure-it had no
architect-who said 1.-THE average
member Of the house is an extended
talker, the house chamber was put on
the third floor, no elevator is put in
and the modern legislator instead Of
talking, for which exercise he has
little breath left, occupies his time in
introducing bills.
1t was a queer sight TO stranger to
see how the talking wasdone. Amen
Der would address the chair and begin
talking, before he was half through
his first sentence a man would walk up
by his side and begin talking. His re-
marks were being interpreted into
Spanish for the benefit Of the men
who could not understand the Ian
guage of the United States. If the
speaker happens to be talking in
Spanish the Interpreter turns Il into
English with equal rapidity. 1t is in
teresting to watch an experienced in
terpreter, like Pinto Pine, Of the coun-
cifand see with what ease and
rapidity hecan turn one language into
another and then back again. His
brain mnst be a most carefully ar
ranged machine to work as accurately
as it does.
One good effect of talking for trans
lation is in the formation of aterse
and vigorous style. A speaker knows
that he will be interrupted before he
gets through his sentence and he
seeks to make that sentence as short
and asmeatya rs possible. 1t is easy to
distinguish a mar who had talked in
this manner, until he is used to il
from the greenland. Two or most
meaty takers in the capitol building
are Frank Chavez, the president Of the
senate and Tom Catron.
Many Of the peopleof the territry are
dissatisfied with having the capitol at
santa Fee and at this session bills have
been introduced to remove it TO Albu-
querque, Las Cruces, Kingston and
other towns in the territory nope OF
them passed however.

reaches the glory Of being a legislator
introduces many queer bills. The

that Mr.. Hooper was hard pressed by
the opposition. Our friend says
that he remembers Governor An
drews saying this about himself in
the speech he then made which
was in a line with his previous de-
termination: Il have been governor
of the state Of Massachusetts, nearly
two years. My record during that
time is before the people. II they ap-
prove it they will probably vote for
me. II any man OF them does not l
do not ask or expect him to vote for
me- There is nothing in that record
which could alter If l would. and
nothing in it that l would alter If l
could" Our friend says that these
words, and the impressive manner in
which they were uttered, produced an
effect such as he has seldom seen par
alleled. The whole audience rose and
cheered with an enthusiasm that 1t
required many minutes to quiet. -

UNREFUTED AUTHORITY,

An Interesting Description of How They
ire Made.
Foremost in their geographic i'm
portance ana in the intricacy and sig
nticance of their geological construc-
ton and origin are the mountain belts
which consist of folded rock forma-
tons. The strata forming the upper
part of the earth's crust are bent up
and down in long. nearly straight or
curving, wave-like ridges or troughs.
and where their disturbance was
greatest the successive ridged folds are
closely pressed together.
The waves Of the rock structure are
then pulled to such steepness that
their sides become parallel with each
other and the entire fold is driven
forward into an incline position. The
order of the strata on the lower side
of the oppressed fold is thus inverted;
the originally highest and last formed
deposits there lie beneath older beds,
in an overturned series.
Sub aerial erosion then wears down
the undulations and the crests of the
closely folded strata. often planning
them off until a long section. crossing
mountain ranges. passed from older to
newer beds. and onward from newer
to older in several alterations. hav-
ing throughout the whole a nearly
constant deep dip.
Owing to the interbedding OF hard
and enduring sandstone. quartzite
gneiss and other rock formation with
more easily eroded limestone shales.
incoherent sandstones or schists the
erosion commonly produces new
topography. making hOllows and long
valleys. where the more erosible beds
have been removed, and leaving ridges
and mountain ranges of the harder
rocks ~
More than this. When erosion has
been continued through long periods
it tends toward the ultimate result OF
removing the upward curved or anti
clinal portions of the great folds and
sparing the originally lower down
ward curved or synclinical portions
until the valleys take the places which
were originally occupied by the high
est upheavals while the original
troughs where the rocks were mos,
compacted by pressure. remain now as
the principal mountain ridges.
Under denudation the folded noun.
famous belt fulfils the prophecy.
Every valley shall be exalted. and
every mountain and hill shall be low

voice from the next room called out
loud enough to arouse the seven
sleepers:
God bless our home! God bless our
home!"
The burglar was so Startled that he
dropped his dark lantern. and then,
in trying to recover it. stumbled over
a chair and stumbled headlong to the
floor. The lady, suddenly awakened.
screamed at the top Of her voice. and
the thief. now thoroughly demoralized.
took a flying leap for the stairway
