IotsIssttng Geographical Changes
Going Oh.

At first it was believed by most of the
people around here that it came from the
river, whence previous overflows have come
several times during the past 80 years; but
the steadily increasing volume Of water, in
the face OF the fall in the river, has caused
change of opinion, and now, in spite OF
all reports to the contrary which
have been Gent out from Yuma aud
other pisces, it is generally believed the
fl BOD mast have a source 10 the gulf high
tides, in which it might easily break down
the slender barrier Of sand which stands
between it and It's old bed. Should this
theory te correct i; is evident we are on
the eve of Witnessing one of the most
interestpg geographical charges that
hiss taken place on tbs continent.
The Increase in area OF the gulf will be of
small Importance in itself, compared with
the great modification in climate which this
inland sea would ciuse. Not the least re.
markabIe feature Of this phenomenal
occurrence is the great difficulty of obtain.
ing authentic information. The water is
too shallow to navigate and too deep to
drive through, and the frightful heat makes
i: an act Of great danger to venture away
from the Hster and shade.

She's the terror of her teachers,

And she smears them on my Knees,

And she steals into my study
And she turns my books a-whlrl,
And her boots are always muddy
