The sea formed in the Colorado deser,

The sea formed in the Colorado desert
has created very profound interest
amongst the intellectual classes of Paris.
1t has already formed the subject of
learned inquiry and speculation amongst
the Forty Immortals, and the press of
that city has discussed the phenomenon
at great length. All information on the
subject is received with the liveliest
interest, and the editors are SO anxious
to receive data from first hands that
some of them have written to Mr.. j. P.
Goytino, the editor of the Progress, ask
ing him to make personal inspection
of the inland sea, and write to them his
views upon the extraordinary occurrence.
Mr.. Goytino has yielded to their de-
mand, and will start for Salton in few
davs

SENATOR KENNA, of West Virginia,
thinks that the presidential tickets of
the two great national parties in 1892
will be headed by Cleveland and Harri-
son, and that this time the result will
be reversed. He does not believe
that Cleveland's views on silver
will hurt that statesman. Ac-
cording to Kenna, Cleveland is
stronger than he was in 1884. There
are great many Democratic senators
who do not think as Senator Kenna
does, and these the latter calls "politi-
cians." He thinks Cleveland's nomi-
nation is in the air.

OuR Canadian neighbors are just now
establishing good-sized claim to the

1ers. Some of the public men Of the
Dominion have shown themselves to be
adepts at Credit Mobilier practices. One
fellow gets $193, 900 for his influence In
steering public contracts, and others
seem to have done very thriving bust

MORE people went down to the seaside

MORE people went down to the seaside
yesterday than at any time in the history
OF. Los Angeles. The several railway
companies leaped a royal harvest. 1t is
aaie to say that probably twenty-five
thousand SOULS left the city by various
routes. In addition to her ordinary at
fractions, the presence of the Charles
ton at Redondo swelled the crowds that
left Los Angeles for that popular resort
to an immense figure. Santa Monica,
Long Beach, Santa Catalina and San
Juan Capis trano also took the fancy OF
multitudes.

Of Gen. Alger as the Republican nomi-

PRINCE GEoRaE's description OF the
way he saved the life of the czarowitch
-" Mickey" as he calls him for short
is very realistic. There is just a suspi-
cion in the narrative that the heir ap-
parent to the throne of Greece knows
how to blow his own horn. This is that
one touch of nature which makes the
whole world kin, and shows that there
is well defined vein of bloviation in
human nature in the isles of Greece as
in Missouri.

A Naval Surgeon at Toulon Thought to

PARIS. July N.-The identity of the
person or persons who sent the internal
machine received yesterday by Nine.
Constans, has not yet been discovered.
A book similarly prepared reached M.
Etienne, under-secretary OF the colonial
office, and another was received by
M. Treilte, director of the colonial health
department. M. Freille was put on his
guard by few grains of illuminate
dropping out of the book. There is a
vague suspicion that the missives were
sent by retired naval surgeon at Toulon
who has a grievance. A navy surgeon
who has committed suicide at Toulon
was possibly the culprit.

GREENvILLE, Pa, July 26.-This morn
ing while j. G. Sculler was delivering a
sermon in the United Presbyterian
church, sudden storm arose, and
the high steeple was struck by
a thunderbolt There were over
300 people in the church at the time and
the panic which followed, was only
quelled by the pastor and other cool
heads, commanding that no rush be
made for the door. Many women
was followed by the creaking
of the steeple, but outside
several slight shocks, no one was in
jured. The congregation then joined in
PRAYER, thanking God for the marvellous
escape, and were dismissed with a
tremulous benediction.

Feeding Moro Straw.

The old practice of using tons of straw merely as bedding, often throw ing 1t in the barnyard. to be trodden under foot, is not so com mon as it once was. Analysis of straw shows that 1t contains much valuable feed. but not in the right proportions. The use of linseed meal or O, cotton seed meal with straw balances the ration. and at the same time adds nearly enough value to the manure heap to make it pay the expense. The manure made by tramplng straw under foot is scarcely worth drawing any long dis tauce. In fact, on most farms it has to be piled up and rotted down to re- duce its bulk before it Is in good con- dition for use.
