ANOTHER FLOOD IN 5000 YEARS.
Prediction That the Ocean Will Sub
merge the Northern Continent.

A Prediction That tho Ocean Will Sub
merge the Northern Continent.
The map of the world, as geographers
have outlined it, shows that there Is
vast preponderance of land north OF the
equator. Humboldt estimated that Asia
stands at an average height of /, $50 feet
above the level of the ocean; South
America, 1,130; North America, 750:
Europe, $40 feet. The average height of
all the land above the sea level-omit-
ting Africa and Australia, which are
mostly south of the equator-is about
920 feet. The landed surface of the
northern hemisphere is about A. .0O0, ,000
square miles; that of the southern hemi-
sphere about 14,Oo0,OO0 to 16,0OO, 900
square miles, leaving difference of say
2S, ,OOO, 900 square miles of land of an av-
erage height of 92O feet above the sea
level. '-.
But as there is the same visible excess
of water On the southern side that there
is of land, on the northern, and as the
depth of the seas is about the same, it
follows that the weight of the excess of
submerged land in the northern hemis-
phere must be added to the 28, 600, 900
square miles, doubling the height of it,
ern at least 1,S4O feet above the average
surface of the southern hemisphere, both
its continents and ocean depths. What
this enormous weight? There must be
something or the earth would not l.Iain-
tain its poise.
If there was nothing, water level in
that region would be impossible. Pro-
IL
ancing weight might be found in that
5000, 600 square miles of unexplored re-
gion lying within the antarctic circle. II
it does exist there in the shape of ice, as
all scientists believe it does, these i'm
mense mountains of ice must necessarily
be of AN average, of over two and a half
miles to make the southern hemisphere
equal in weight to the northern.
But this state of things cannot always
exist. At present the sun fingers eight
days longer in the northern than it does in
the southern hemisphere. This is owing
to the earth's third motion, that of a slow
wabbling on its axis, This caused it to
approach nearest the sun on Dec. 81,
124s, and it will approach equally near
on July 81 of the year 1174s. We of the
northern hemisphere will then be in the
midst OF q terrible winter, providing the
whole of the land north of the equator
has not been submerged; but there il
good reason for believing that North
America, Europe and Asia win then ali
be under water.
This terrible catastrophe viii be
brought about in this way: The south
ern hemisphere will then receive 40 pei
cent. more heat and light than it doe:
nova This viii melt the great ice ac
| cumulations at the south pole. Ons
mile of that supposed two and q half, i
melted, would raise the sea level at the
north pole about 800 feet, at London 25t
feet, at New York 200 feet. When al
of it should melt the waters would stant
500 feet deepen the top of Lake Superior
and wash the base of the Rocky mount
aims throughout their entire length.-St
Louis Republic.

A Strange Case of Mistaken Identity.

Joseph Rowe, a well-known farmer
living eight miles south of the city, is the
possessor of a COW that has by its strange
actions attracted the attention of the
neighborhood and caused much COM
ment. Several weeks ago the COW gave
birth to calf, which lived but couple
of days. Since the death of the calf the
mother has taken strange fancy for the
fourteen-ye -year-old son of Rowe, and her
actions toward the boy are such that
they leave but little doubt that she re-
CARDS him as her offspring. Whenever
the boy appears in the field she is sure
to run after him and fondle him Just as
she would young calf, and no one can
do anything with the dumb creature,
save the boy. The other day young
Rowe had occasion to come to town and
when he returned home it was late in
the evening and past the milking hour.
His little sister attempted to supply his
place, and dressing up in the garb of her
brother went out in the COW lot to do the
milking. The disguise was such, that
the COW failed to note anything wrong,
and the girl was getting along swim
mingIy until the cow discovered the boy
coming up the road from the city leading
to his home. With one bound she made
for her supposed calf, and her manifesto
tions of delight at seeing him was beyond
description. In he1 efforts to get at the
boy, she kicked over the girl and the milk
pail. The case is a remarkable one., The
is truly pathetic, and illustrates the
its ofspring--WalLG Waua Journal

THE FUTURE OF THE DALLES.

If one-fourth of the projects that are
announced as about to happen in The
Dalles in the near future should ever
materialize, then this city is now on the
eve of the most prosperous times she has
ever experienced. A peoples line of
boats plying between this city and the
Cascades in connection with the portage
railway will insure cheap freights and
low passenger rates and will attract
greater number of visitors besides in
creasing the Importance of this section
as a great shipping and distributing
point. Already the surveyors are in the
field locating the contemplated railroad
between The Dalles and the Fossil coal
mines. If this road should be built 1t
will be of immense benefit, not only to
this city but to the fine stretch of agri-
cultural country through which it viii
traverse. AS at present contemplated
it will touch Dufur, tap the Tygh Ridge
country and dropping down into Tygh
valley, by way of Jordon creek, cross the
Deschutes near the mouth of Bake Oven
canyon. Apart from the coal mines
altogether such road will undoubtedly
command such an amount of local GUS
tom in the line of timber, wood, grain,
wool farm produce and passenger traffic
as ought to make it paying investment
from the start. The road would confer
immense benefits upon the country
through which it would pass. Its en-
tire stretch for many miles on each side
of the track is naturally tributary to The
Dalles and will remain 30 for many years
to come. 1t will tap the very best agri-
cultural section in Eastern Oregon.
A large acreage now improbable be-
cause of it's distance from market
but of great fertility will be
opened up to settlement and cultiva-
ton. Wool and pelts and hides that
have now to be hauled on wagons from
one to two hundred miles can be brought
here at less than half the expense to the
producer. The vast track of timberless
country east of the Deschuttes can be
supplied with wood and lumber from the
Cascade mountains at greatly reduced
cost. The supplies needed for many
thousand of square miles would be ship
ped thither from The Dalles, and every
man whose interests are within the linn
its of the road, and who has anything to
sell or anything to buy would be bene-
fitted.
While nothing seems to be definitely
known of the projects of the company
with reference to moving back the shops
to this place, it does seem certain that
some such change is in conteplation. 1t
may be that the wish is the father of the
thought. 1t is certain that transfer of
IA acres of land to the west of the city
has been made to the o. K. & n. Co.,
and the deed is now on file for record in
the County Clerks Office, while a new
addition to the town in the same neigh
borhood has been surveyed and staked
off. The projectors of the new town site
are no mere land boomers, but men of
conservative opinions and habits, and it
is to be presumed they know what they
are about. Whatever may be the out
come all these movements forebode no
to evil The Dalles and some of them are
boundto naterilize to her advantage.

.Is Disease a .Punishment.

The following advertisement, published
by a prominent western patent medicine
house would indicate that they regard
disease as punishment for sin:
''Do you wish to know the quickest
way to cure a severe cold? We will tell
you. To cure cold quickly, it must be
treated before the cold has become
settled in the system. This can always be
done if you choose to, as nature in her
kindness to man gives timely warning
and plainly tells you in natures way,
that as punishment for some indiscre-
tion, you are to be afflicted with cold
unless you choose to ward it off by
prompt action. The first symptoms of a
cold, in most cases, is aidry, loud cough
and sneezing. The cough is soon followed
by a profuse watery expectoration and
charge from the nose. In severe cases
there is thin white coating on the
tongue. What to do2 1t is only necessary
to take 4Chamberlain's Cough Remedy
in double doses every hour. That will
greatly lessen the severity of the cold
and in most cases IL effectually count
eract it, and cure what would have been
severe cold within one or two days
time. Try it and be convinced. y sc
