HOW MOUNTAINS WE'RE MADE
A Scientific Description of the Peculiar
Process.

Scientific Description of the Peculiar
Process.
Foremost in their geographic import
ance, and in the intricacy and signifi-
cance of their geologic structure and
origin, are the mountain belts which
consist of folded rock formations. 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 and troughs, and where
their disturbance was greatest the sue
cessive ridged folds are closely pressed
together. The waves of the rock struc-
ture are then pushed to such steepness
that their sides become parallel with
each other, and the entire fold is driven
forward into an inclined position. The
order of the strata on the lower side of
the oppressed fold is thus inverted the
originally highest and last formed de-
pOsits there lie beneath older beds, in
an overturned series Subaerial 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, passes
from older to newer beds, and onward
from newer to older, in several alter
nations, having throughout the whole a
nearly constant steep dip. Owing to
the interbedding of hard and enduring
sandstone, quartzite, gneiss, and other
rock formations, with more easily
eroded limestones, shales incoherent
sandstonSs, or schists, the erosion COM
monty PRODUCES a new topography,
making hollows and long valleys where
the most erosible beds have been re-
moved, and leaving ridges and noun
tain ranges of the harder rocks. More
than this, when erosion has been con-
tinued through very long periods, it
tends toward the ultimate result of re-
moving the upward curved or anticlinal
portions of the great folds and sparing
the originally lower downward curved
or synclinal portions, until valleys take
the places which were originally occu-
pied by the highest upheavals while
the original troughs, where the rocks
were most compacted by pressure, re-
main now as the principal mountain
ridges. Under denudation, the folded
mountainous belt fulfills the prophecy,
Every valley shall be exalted, and
every mountain and hill shall be made
low. Warren Upham, in Popular Sci
ence Monthly.

taking.
A London journal says that a stout
and elderly woman was on board n train
which was approaching the Forth
bridge. Her remarks, which she be-
slowed right and left upon her fellow
passengers, showed that she was unac
customed to travelling; yet she must
have been something of q philosopher
in her own way.
The old lady was nervous about the
bridge. She had seen pictures of it, and
mad made up her mind that it could not
be quite safe. She kept inquiring when
the train would come to it, and at last
was told that it was close at hand.
"Well," said she, rather solemnly, Il
don't know whether we shall get over
alive or not, but if we don't it shan
be my fault"
Then she settled into the corner of
the seat with determined air and a
puckcred-up mouth, which were only
less droll than the general air of respon-
sibility which brooded over her. During
the passage of the bridge she did not
speak a word, but seemed to be holding
her breath.

boring seat. "wc are over it safe"
The old woman heaved an explosive
sigh.

NAMING A TOWN.

started tho TOWN of Aaburndaie.
The town Of Auburndale, Wis, re-
:eived its name III a peculiar manner.
Years ago, when that section was cot11-
parativcly undcvelopcd and land was
cheap, man named King located there
| and built mill.
The place had good shipping facil-
tiles, and the mill soon become nu
cleus of quite thriving, bustliDg littl"
town.
Then arose the question of a name
for the embryo city, and by common con-
sent the right of naming it was conced-
ed to the first settler, Mr.. King.
The citizens wanted to call the place
Kings Mills, but the old gentleman OBJ
iected. He said he didn't want his name
tackled on to any one-horse or two-horse
village.
Now, says the New York Continent,
the old man was the happy father Of
seven bouncing daughters, and the vii
layers suggested that the name of one
of them should be given to the new
town.
This idea pleased the father as much
as it pleased the seven daughters, but
which one of the seven fair ones should
be honored above her six sisters? The
town could not be handicapped with all
the seven nancs.
Finally happy thought struck the
old man. Every one Of his seven daugh-
ters was rcd-headcd. He decided to
honor the m all by christening the town
Auburndale, and Auburndale itreElains
to this day.

AL and the major untangled them
selves to explain and ask protection OF
the newcomers, but as they looked al
each other, bruised, battered and bloody
as they were, each recognized the
other. Words are not equal to telling
the astonishment of the major and Al.
The major was the first to speak.

the man with the lamp interfered.

into trouble. Jist drop this chin and
give me twenty-five dollars for tha
damage you've done or I'll hand you
over to the police"
That cooled them down somewhat
and, muttering vengeance upon each
other, AL paid the twenty-five dollars
and they snealSed away. Each was
| firmly convinced that the other was in
league with the city gang.
They took the same train to Phila

| thought the affair over he began tC

would make, and he began to suspect
that AL might be victim as well as
time before AL would listen TO him. but
they finally compared notes and con.

crecy.
AL and the major had to do consider
able lying to account for the failure OF
their missions to the city and their gen
orally banged up appearance. And the
majors wife and daughter could no
account for the extremely cordial feel
ing that suddenly sprang up between
their respective husbands. Al pre-

fine sheep and the major sent up tx

THE PARSONS DAUGHTER.

Twas Sunday morn, and loud and clear
Enc bells were sweetly blending
And worshlpcrs from far and near
Their way to church we're vending.
With eager haste they filled the pews
TO hear the famed eShorter
But with the singers in the choir
There sat the parsons daughter
Her voice gave out its sweetest tones,
She led the anthem finely.
And captiVated all who heard,
For OH She sang divinely.
The cd familiar hymns rang out
Like hugle calls, far reaching,
And Bept the sinners wide awake
W 40 dozed all through the preaching
But little thought she, as she sang
With so much taste and feeling,
The while her lovely eyes were raised
Devoutiy toward the ceiling
All, little thought the maiden then,
What havoc she was making;
Or that heart among the pews
For love of her was breaking.
The paroon preached Of love, forsooth,
On Sunday after Sunday,
Which made the folks more neighborly
And sociahic on Monday;
1et all the week the modest youth,
In fear Of the e1horter,
Had not the courage to declare
How much he loved his daughter.
They met at Sunday-school and church,
In clear 9pd cloudy weather,
And at The meeting through the week
Were often seen together;
1et she was distant. l suppose,
And he no word had spoken,
And how 1t came about, who knowsf
But soon the ice was broken.
Then merrily the church bells rang,
The careless ones to capture;
And she more beautifully sang,
Her soul alive with rapture:
And he no longer from the pew
Was at his idol gazing,
But sat beside her in the choir;
His boldness was amazing.
And soon the wedding bells will ring
Their merry, maddening jingle:
I'll take wife to bless my life,
Let those who will stay stngler'
And he who long had loved the maid,
Nor courage had to court her,
Will at the altar proudly stand
Beside the parsons daughter

setting forth the ease and safety with
which the rural customer could pass
off counterfeit money, and the aston
ishingly low price at which he could
procure that which even bank experts
at times failed to detect as counterfeit.
OF course, then, as now, the scheme OF
those vagabonds was to get their

The green-goods men are very careful

Near Ayers Hill, in Potter county,

AL MAYO. As he has since left that
part of the country no harm will be

In some way the green-goods men of
New York got his address, and he got
one of the regulation green goods cir
culars. AL had good little farm, a
wife, and one child but he was not
contented with the slow returns Of
farming: he wanted to make money
faster. The tempting circular struck
him very forcibly. At first he threw it
aside as being rather risky. Then he
began to argue with himself: If
bank experts are deceived by this
money, and it passes just as well Is
the genuine, where is the great harm in
using little of it. The fact of who
makes it does not make such a great
difference AL had never been en-
gagged in anything that was not fair
and square, and his neighbors never
questioned his word. He prided him
self considerably upon that, but finally
his scruples gave way and he opened
correspondence with the New York
parties. Of course he said nothing
about it to his wife. Ii a man has a
good, first-class wife, he never consul IS
her when he is going to do anything
that isn't just straight; he's afraid that
she might dissuade him from his fell
purpose.

FINE BOWLING TOTALS

PInknights Defeated Volunteers in a
Splendid Contest.
Tine Pinknights and Volunteers Of the
Jersey City League met last night at
Dukes alleys. At their first meeting on
these alleys they put up the finest totals
made in the league contests. The scores
last night were not quite as high but they
We're far above the average. The Knights
won. They excelled the sixteen hundred
mark. The Volunteers had an average of
1861. The contest was unusually excit-
ing as the teams alternated In the lead.
When the eighth frame closed the Volun-
teers had an advantage of 8 pins. Iu the
ninth the Knights bowled like demons.
They smashed the wooden bottles for
strikes and spares and in this frame
secured a total of Isl pins which was 80
more than that rolled up by the Volun-
teers and the final frame was opened With
the Knights enjoying a margin of So pins.
They did not lose it put improved 1t by Il
pins and won by an even half hundred.
Several fine scores were made, Hammel
was better than W hundred, Duke was
six points short of the second century.
Faulkner, O'Connell, Prior n Wernsing

reached the seventy block. The score:-
