The September Century is particu-
larly interesting for it's fiction. A new
writer from the South comes upon
the scene, John Fox, Jr., who pub
fishes the first instalIment of a two
part story entitled "a Mountain
Europa" the girl who is the heroine
of the story is one Of the most striking
characters in recent fiction. Two pa
pers of American travel on unhack-
neyed subjects distinguish the Sep
TENDER Century. One of them is the
first of two papers by the young ex-
plorer, E. j. Glave, giving an account
of a pioneer tour of his, with pack
horses, in Alaska. The other is de-
scription of the little-known Grand
Falls of Labrador by Henry G.. Bry-
ant, a member of a recent adventurous
expedition to that place. Along with
these outdoor articles should be men,

a richly illustrated sketch of the life
of the little king of Rome" Napole-

WATER RUNS UP HILL.
This Apparently Absurd statement Proved
hY the MissIssinni River.

This Apparently 4 bsurd statement Pfosed
by the Mississippi River.
The mouth of the Mississippi river is
three miles higher than its source. That
is, Minnesota. where the Mississippi
rises, is three miles nearer the certer of
the earth than is the gulf of Mexico.
In the reason for such difference in level
will lie found the explanation Of the
rivers uphill flow. As any schoolboy
will tell us, the earth is ball flattened
at the poles. The flattening. while
comparatively insignificant, is still suffi-
cient to make the polar diameter twenty
eight miles shorter that the equatorial
diameter. In other words, the north
and the south pole are fourteen miles
nearer the earth's center than is the
equator. Now, the distance from
the north pole to the equator, measured
along the earth's surface, is six thou
sand miles. and the distance from the
scource To the mouth of the Mississippi
is about one thousand five hundred,
or one-fourth Of six thousand. If there
fore, there is difference in level of
fourteen miles between the north pole
and the equator. there will be differ
ence i'm level between the scource of the
Mississippi and its mouth of one-fourth
of fourteen miles, or three and one
fourth miles. But the territory watered
by the Mississippi has beer elevated
somewhat by volcanic or similar forces
and the actual excess in height of the
rivers mouth is reduced to the three
miles first mentioned.
How is it possible for the river TO run
uphill? When, cons ago, the sun had
thrown the earth from its surface like
a drop of water from a swiftly-turning
wheel our globe became huge ball of
molten rock, itself swiftly revolving in
space. As it gradually cooled it shranlx,
and by shrinking its velocity Increased,
just as a stone tied to a string and
twisted about a boys finger revolves
more rapidly as the string winds about
the finger. When the centrifugal force
has so increased as to exceed gravita-
ton, a huge mass shot off from the
ea-th's equator and became the moon.
Still, the centrifugal force retained
ample power to expand the earth's
equator, and TO retain it in this
form until cold and rigid. Nor has this
force yet abated. As il drew
toward the equator the earth's material
when plastic, it still continues to at
tract in the same direction all the fluids
upon the earth's surface. In this way
gravitation is partially overcome. and
the Mississippi river flows steadily mp
its three mile hill to the Mexican gulf.
A second question is suggested: What
would ensue if the revolution of the
earth should be by some means grad
ually retarded? The Mississippi would
become more and more sluggish; the
entire valley and the great lakes would
swell into an inland sea, and the gulf
of Mexico would seek through them its
way to the north pole. II the earth
should cease to revolve altogether the
oceans of the equator would forsake
their beds and hasten toward the poles.
Probably the entire globe north of the
latitude of Boston would be submerged.

to any external pressure. Single trees
alone may be made to answer the pur-
pose, if the draft on them is not too
great while they are young. But if the
weight of the gate slightly bends the
tree, 1t will in time become perma-
nently inclined. This may be pre-
vented by using long horizontal limbs
TO extend over the gate and meet, as
represented in Fig. 6. Years are OF
course required to render such con-
trivance permanent. II the trees are
already large enough, they may be
used at once on which to hang the gate.
Among the kinds which may be en-
ployed for such supports are beech,
white oak and American elm.
Trees may be employed in the con-
tinuous line of fence, where barb
wire is used, by placing vertically strips
of inch plank as facing between the
wire and the bark of the trees. This
prevents the wire from sinking into the
bark of the trees during their continu-
GUS growth. Gentleman.

Her Right Had Held Something That
Was Missing.
After she had made her purchases and
had informed the clerk as TO the ad-
dress to which they should be sent, she
picked up her purse with her left hand
and placed her parasol across her left
arm, gazing the while over the counter
and floor as if in search of something
else.
Excuse me, miss" ventured the
clerk; but have you mislaid any
thing?'
~ am sure don't know" she re-
piled; "but when l entered the store l
am positive that | carried something in

did you not have your parasol ~
purse in your right hand?"
''No; for / recollect very distinctly
that carried my purse in my left hand
and the parasol on my left arm, as you
see them now"
ut is very strange" remarked the
clerk with troubled expression on his
face, as he searched under the different
pieces of fabric strewn over the counter.
~ can not imagine what it was" she
remarked. musingly, as she placed a
small gloved hand to her chin and gazed
into space. II am positive it was some
thing, and l feel lost without it
81 am unable TO find any thing here, "
came the mufiie ed voice of the clerk
from under the counter, whittier he had
dropped a few seconds before with the
faint hope of being able to find the
missing he knew not what
'Oh, l know now what it was" she
gleefully exclaimed, as pretty flush
overspread her face, ''It was this"
AS the clerks head bobbed up from
behind the counter, like JacS-in-the-
box, she, with a graceful sweep of her
shapely right arm clutehed handful
of her skirt in the back, and smilingly
took her departure. Brown.
