THE NIOODUs NOISES.
An Explanation From MT. HI. IF
 MaIet.


 Malet.
 Correspondence New York Tribunel
 Sir: A kind friend has sent me The Tribune of July 26. In it find a paper on the noises and tremblings of Mount Tom, which have "never been sstisfactori- ly explained" When men meet with nat ural phenomena which they cannot under stand they trust to their own ideals, and are satisfied Hence we have varied causes assigned for these simple actions. Similar conditions exist in Scotland and Italy, and are tolerable well understood. A friend of mine left Ischia week before the great earthduake because she heard subterranesn noises in the stilly night. Her fellow travellers laughed at her fears, stopped in the hotel, and were killed. The first point to ascertain is the origan of the mountain, Tom, in the maritime state of Connecticut. Your geologists have told us that the Rocky Mountains were once three or four miles higher than they are; their waste and and the waste of your ranges have filled up all the spscs-between them and the sea; Connecticut was one of the last forma- tions, and was therefore a secondary con- strnction under water. As the ocean re- tired, it was slowly left as dry land, and since then it has assumed its present con dition. The sun shines and the rain falls. In the natural percolation of water through materials of ocean deposit it meets some soft and hard. The latter are not worn away, the former are. Vacuums, therefore, occur, and the unsupported areas subside slowly or suddenly. If the fall is on a large scale, an earthquake takes place; if on a small scale, tremblings occur. If the movement is near the surface, noises, groans and shrieks may be heard. This is the natural explanation of the action in side of Mount Tom. I have just referred to the slow retiring of the sea. At the begin ming of this century it was the common opinion for the appearance of dry land. Charles Lyell, as young man, controvert- ed this natural action, and carried his theory of unheaval, with unlimited lateral action, into the scientific world, as the cause of mountains. Near the end of his | life he wrote letter to the Duke of Argyll, telling him he OyelD was wrong in his | lateral extension, as all the evidence be- l fore him ran in the opposite direction. As | mountains could not be upheaved unless | there was lateral expansion of material and as there is no sound evidence of upheaval, | we may put it aside entirely, and take l Mount Tom, all the states of Connecticut, New York and Pennsylvania as having been left by the sea since those days, when Professor James Geikic has very truly as- signed an insular condition for the dry lande of this globe. The Royal Geographi cal society of London has lately published | the sixth edition of Hints to Travellers In it they tell us: "Few if any geologists now believe that mountains were simply pushed from below" I have objected tc to this upheaval for many years, but fear there are many geologists who still be lieved in the dead theory of Sir Charles Lyell. Your obedieut servant,

EDITORIAL NOTES.

Something that looks like boom is in progress in Wall street. Any man can find out what it is by buying.
 Some railroad men do good deal of travelling. An old railroad man named Layton, now sleeping car superintendent at Indianapolis, has kept record of his journeyings since 1863, and the total is 2, 339, ,246 miles. Conductor S. G. Boone, late of the Reading, has covered 2,s47, ,0O0 miles, and another Reading conductor has ridden something over ,597, TOO miles. This is great year for crops. c. H. Bullock, of Northfeld, Minnesota, last week obtained 1,120 bushels of potatoes from one acre of land. This is said to be | by far the largest yield ever known, 300 l bushels being usually considered 8 big | crop. That the 1900 bushels were all raised on one acre of ground is sworn to by a number of trustworthy people of the vicinity. MT. Bullock will net $336 for his product, nearly all clear gain. Last year he would have made $500 off the same yield, as the price of potatoes was high | then.
 Woman is going ahead at lively rate in Argonia, Kansas. After the passage of the municipal suffrage law in that State a few years ago, conferring upon women the right to hold office as we'll as to vote for all local officers, the women of Argonia got | together and proceeded to capture all the | offices that were to be had there. Under | petticoat government the Argonians have I pushed matters to their logical conclusion, and we now read of young woman who | popped the question to young man there the other day, and wedding has been the result.
 Sperm oil has the greatest erosive effect

 Bronze was not attacked by coiza oil, yer.
 slightly by olive oil, but vigorously by lin

A few facts of the progress of the
war up to the latest advlces proceed
ing receipt Of the mail due when this
goes to print may he given. The
Congressional party have conquered
all that part Of the republic to the
north of the port of Caldrra inclu-
sive. This territory contains the
nitrate fields, the chief souce Of re-
venue of the republic. Some bloody
engagements have taken place aud
the possession of the nitrate has been
a great source of strength to the OPP
position. This with the early control
they secured of the navy has put the
presidential party in difficult posi-,
ton. The advantage has been largely
with the insurgents, who have estab-
lished themselves in Iquique, Pisa
qua and Autofagasta. Balmaceda's
navy consists mainly of tugs and
torpedo boats, and its sinking of the
insurgent ironclad Blanco Encalada
with Whitehead torpedo was 3
triumphant revenge. The Review of
Reviews says of this incident: "The
ironclad was blown up, and almost
all her crew went down with her.
The ironclad and the sorpedo boat
were both built 10 Great Britain.
Englishmen made the torpedo, Eng
lish officers and engineers were en-
gagged in both squadrons, and an
English admiral lowered around the
combatants with an English fleet,
rescuing as many victims as possible
from a watery grave" The same
periodical has the following on the
situation:
''Balmaceda's army is probably
from five to ten times as large as that
of his opponents but hundreds of
miles of desert lie between his strong
holds in Central Chile and the por-
tions of the country that the insur-
gents hold. And with the navy for
their fighting operations and the
ni,rates to pay the bills, they have
much the best of the situation. Bal
maceda's great lack is money. He
is having new ships finished in
Europe; but how to pay FOR them is
his problem. Meanwhile his term Of
office will soon expire, and final
crisis of some kind is probably near
at hand. He has desired an arbitra-
ton OF the questions at issue by
Brazil, the United States and France.
The war can but result in the wesk-
ening and impoverishment of state
which had seemed the most progress
sive-as it had grown the most ar
rogant-ofa all the southern republics"

Hawaii at Valparaiso, relates the

else of this power the Congressional
majority entrenched themselves in
the English idea of an executive gov
eminent controlled by the majority
in the legislative body. Ba'maceda
anchored himself in the letter of the
Chilean constitution, which contains
the United States provision for the
independence of the executive de-
partment. 1t is believed by able
critics on the outside that in the
struggle for ascendancy each party
far exceeded the bounds of its con-
stitutional authority. The Congress
sonal majority brought matters to a
crisis by refusing to pass the appro-
priation bill for this year, as well as
the authorization to maintain the
army and navy. Finally Congress
addressed note to the Presi lent de-
claring that if His Excellency should
recover contributions or taxes and
maintain the army and navy after
December 81, 1890, lie would be
committing unconstitutional acts and
be considered out of the pale Of law.
Balmaceda, however, held his ground,
and, assuming sort Of dictatorship,
decreed the dissolution of Congress.
Thereupon, on the lst of January,
the Congressional party met and car
ried resolution deposing him for
violating the constitution.
The unquestionably revolutionary
action of the majority Of Congress
just noted was the beginning of the
civil war. On the 7th of January
the fleet left Valparaiso bay before
daybreak, having on board com
mittee of Congress authorized to de-
pose the President by force. The
fleet returned in the morning of that
day and awaited the outbreak Of the
army on shore, which. however, did
not TAX place. The President I'M
mediately issued proclamation,
whereby he took upon himself all
authority and responsibility, abrogat.
ing all laws and those parts OF the
constitution which should fetter his
action. He suspended the press md
even had the printing Offices demol-
ished. All teIegrapbic and telephone
communications, except for the Gov
ernment, were also suspended. Since
then foreign representative have had
to derive their information of hap
penings from the newspapers pub
lished under the auspices of the
government, with the exception of
what could be gathered by hearsay
from eyewitnesses of some occur
rences. The foreign press of the
country has had to maintain strict
neutrality.
