AFTER SEVEN YEARS.
1t is now about seven years since
the death of Gen. Grant, and during
that time the movement for the cree;
ton OF this monument has been going
on slowly. 1t took six years to coll
lect the first 81 so, 000-less than halt
the amount needed-and it has taken
the reorganized committee little over
six weeks to insure the collection Of
the remainder.
Never in the history OF similar move
ments has work undertaken under
such disheartening circumstances been
so enthusiastically and successfully
concluded, and the praise must 90 to
Gen. Horace Porter and his splendidly
managed department. Last year, or
April ~, he was the orator OF the day
at Riverside Park, and his words then
presaged that he was ready and will
ing to undertake what other men had
failed to accomplish. He was made
the president OF the recognized asso-
citation, which was enlarged by legisla-
tive enactment, and night and day
since that time he has spoken enthus-
iastically to meetings of citizens in
every trade and calling, and han
worked with n generalship worthy OF
the cause he had put his heart and
soul in.
Speaking OF how the money was
raised, for the building Of the tomb,
Gen. Porter said:

ITO complete the tomb required,
according to the estimate, $3.50, 900.
The .otal OF say $500, 900 will be the

SOME QUEER FISH,

Remarkable Geological Discover3<

Mountain News Mr. Hart made IN
vestigations leading to che 81 the
most remarkable geological al cor-
cries ever known in the West Vast
fish beos. covering hundreds OF sqluare
miles in Northwestern Colorado, are
brought to light and can not fail TO
awaken great interest in scientific
circles.
The beds, as traced by Mr.. Hart
extend distance OF $50 miles in the
region of the Green river country and
were traced to points more than 100
miles toward the interior OF the state.
Scientists have known of the existence
OF primeval deposits OF fish in Wyom-
ing but for the first time discovery
OF similar character is reported il
this state. The beds are 1l0.A To- 2S
feet thick. TO the ordinary observer
their origin would remain forever 4
mystery.
How untold millions of fish could
be piled in distinct layers over large
area OF country which is now 8. 600 to
10. 900 feet above sea level is a prob
lcm which might stagger the most
profound geologist
After careful investigation Mr..
Hart has arrived at a theory which at
least appears plausible. According to
his theory there was time when the
region OF the fish deposits formed the
shores OF n saltwater ocean. As the
tides swept the water against the
rocky shores marshes were formed on
the opposite side OF the rocky barrier.
The tides surged against tho barrier
with such force as to throw the fish
into the shallow waters Owing to
the heated temperature OF the air the
water in the marshes evaporated be-
fore the tide again returned. leaving
the fish to expire In the mud.
The next TOW brought new supply
OF fish and after many centuries the
beds OF to-day were formed. The de-
posit OF each return OF the tide is
distinctly marked in the cliffs and on
the sides OF the canons on the noun
tain streams. The deposit, was raised
to its present elevation by the same
hidden forces which formed the noun.

OUR NEIGHBOR, MARS.
His Great Performances Postponed
for Three Days.
NOTION ACCOUNT OF THE WEATHER,
But Because 1t Was Wrongly An.
nouncod by His Advance Agent.
The Bright, Particular Star Popu-
lar with tho Wheeling People. but
Yelled by Haze Most of tho Time.

For two or three nights many Wheel
ing people have observed tho brilliant
planet Mars. It cannot be observed TO
very good advantage, for the reason
that the sky has been cloudy or the air
hay most Of tho time. Wednesday night
for awhile, however, it showed up to
great advantage, and everybody who
had a telescope or good field glasses was
looking at it. Viewed through an ordi-
nary spyglass or powertulti field glass the
star looked very much as it did to tho
naked eye. Its rich red tint was more
apparent, and its upper edge seemed to
have constant Pickering blue flames.
The IXrEI1IdEScER Thursday printed
an article from a New York paper say
ing that the planet was in opposition
about one o'clock that morning. This
statement was very generally made. but
1t is erroneous. Possibly in view OF the
unfavorabie weather tho bright per-
Torrance has been postponed till Sun
day morning. How tho mistake arose
is thus explained by q Cincinnati sci
enlist:
"a remarkable error has been made
by tho American astronomical world in
tho matter of tho time OF opposition.
Here is tho American Ephemeris, the
standard nautical almanac, which sets
the opposition for August 3, and by
which the astronomers OF the nation
have doubtless been guided.
"The standard authority OF the world,
however, is the Berliner Jahrbuch,
which, as you see, gives the time Of our
opposition with the red planet as clearly
as possible at a little after midnight
OF August 6-next Saturday.
tSThe erroEfs mi so apparent that l
cannot understand it, but here are the
figures as you see. Tho astronomers
and the newspapers OF the Western
world have been ante.dating the event
by three days"
If it is a clear night Saturday it will
be worth while to take a good long look
at Mars, even without a telescope. 1t
Is q beautiful sight. Even If the sky
should not be clear for several nights
the star can be seen to almost as good
advantage for several weeks before and
after the brightest point mas been
reached.
The earth and Mars have been ap-
preaching at a pace increasingly slow
and will now recede from each other
with q speed increasingly rapid by
reason OF the lesser orbit OF the earth.
The opposition would be equal to an
eclipse upon Mars were the distance
between the earth and the lesser planet
not so normous-35,00 0, 000-as to
make the earth's shadow fall far short.
The earth is in~terposed for the time be-
tween the sun and Mars.
About ten o'clock last night the sky
cleared up beautifully, and the planet
came out in the southeastern sky in all
Its glory. All over town little groups
observed it with interest. A man with
O telescope could make a barrel of
money on the streets OF Wheeling
these nights.
