LOST LANDS.
Ihe Recent submersion of Sangir and Of
Expedition Island.

EApeultloh
A few days ago mention was made
of the disappearance in an earthquake
of the principal island of the Sangir
group, in longitude l25 degrees, mid
way between the islands OF Minda-
mao and Celebes. News now comes
that a Dutch skipper, sailing along
the northwest coast of Australia, re-
potts the disappearance of Expedition
Island, at the mouth Of Collier Bay,
in Western Australia. The island is
almost in the same longitude as San
cir island and nearly 20 degrees
south. As the sea in which it lies is
unfrequented by shipping it is quite
possible that its subsidcnce, if it oc-
Cured, was simultaneous with the
submersion of Sangir below the
waves. The Dutch skipper reports
that he sailed over the spot where
the island had been and found eight
fathoms Of water, whereas all around
the place the depth was normal fol
the Sea of Timor, say, seventy to one
hundred fathoms. The island was
thirteen miles long by one mile wide.
1t was forty miles from the coast Of
Australia.
The whole crust Of the globe IS
probably in motion, changing its rela-
tive level as il gradually adjusts itself
to the cOntractions of the interior,
on which it rests, says the San Fran
cisco Call. In the North the circum-
polar regions are rising. II we had
records to guide US we should p.ob-
ably find that Grant Land, Grinnell
Land, and Franz Josef's Land are
several inches higher than they were
when thev were first discovered. AID
simultaneously the coast Of Green
land, in the neighborhoOd Of Disco,
is sinking. so that the stakes which
were driven into the beach to moor
boats to are now under water. 1t is
easy to understand that, without any
volcanic agency, the earth, resting as
it does on a foundation which must
be incandescent, must rise and fall "a

tracts its subterranean support.

ships can see, when the water is clear,
the peaks and manarets of d drowned
city at the bottom of the ocean.
The steamship passes over then
As they lie in their watery grave. Al
some far distant period that city
lived aud tlourished, probanly on the
ocean border, and may have been a
place Of trade, and prosperity. The
hungry waves gradually rose and rose,
capturing a street here and a square
there, until the people were driven
out and the city was ingulfed. 1t

Horaes With Wells.

1t is very comical to see ia The
streets of Colorado Springs horses
decked out with wells. We have
grown accustomed to the jaunty little
hats worn by many horses in our own
towns to protect them from the heat
of the sun. We can even see an um-
brella fastened over their heads with
out surprise, but veil gives to the
noble beast dandyish look that is
very droll. Some of these veils be-
longing to fine saddles, are mere
fringes of fine strips of leather that
hang before the eyes; others are
pieces of mosquito netting drawn
tightly back and fastened like lady's
nose veil; but the most stylish, and
altogether effective, are of netting
drawn overa hook which holds it away
from the eyes, vet completely pro-
tects them. Anything funnier than
pair Of horses going gravely about
the streets wearing these exaggerated
google arrangements is rarely seen.
These wells, however, though fash
iOnable at the foot of the Rocky
Mountains, are not worn for fashions
sake. They are indeed stern ne
cessity, and the comfort, if not even
the life Of the horse demands it. Col
orado, with all its great attractions,
has one plague-the plague of flies.
Flies of all sizes, from the least up to
the enormous bluebottle are every
where. Most parts of his body the
horse can himself protect if not de-
priyed of his tail, but his eyes he can
not, and these delica5e organs are
special objects of attack by the fly
tribe. 1t is tho least a man can do
to provide protecting veil for his
most faithful servant.-Congregation'

When Brandy Was Good.

In the old drenching times of Too,
when patients used to get their bot.
tie Of brandy in the twenty-four
hours, a comparison of the kind would
have been Of extreme value; but the
routine Treatment Of Inflammation
by alcohol is now thing of the past,
and, as rule. we merely look ont for
special symptoms aud complications,
and meet them as they allse. But as
contribution to the discussion, let
me quote Brude5ell Carter, who
quotes DR.. Braun of Moscow, who says
that he had IS per cent. OF bad cases
after eye operations among the peas
ants until he gave th.m wine or
brandy, when the percentage fell tc
s per cent.
In the sudden ooliarzc Of fairtink
or snake bite, or when any one is
called on to MAKE s. violent physical
effort almost beyond his powers, alco-
hal again shows its Iower. Swiss
guides well know the help that a
moUthful or two Of white wine gives
them; and remember an incidenton
the Alps where timely stimulent
probably saved three lives. We were
rashly struggling up an ice slope
without guides, and the first man
on the rope, an experienced noun
taineer, vigorously cut steps while we
shivered in our places, lodging the
falling chips, and trying to feel brave
anG happy. Suddenly the sound of
the AK stopped and voice fell clear
and sharp from aloft: "Brandy at
once or can't GO"
Luckily we had it, and n sip or two
set him right; but, as he told us af-
terward, SO overpowerlng was the
feeling Of exhaustion that he could
hardly have raised his arm, or even
remained much longer in his place
without the stimulent, which FORUM
ately was at hand. As we were at
the moment half way up perpen-
dicular wall nearly 200 feet high,
with little but narrow ledge to pro-
tect us from frightful precipice be-
low, invite your readers to picture
for themselves what the consequences
Of an accident would have been.

Advantages of Yayuinr.

According to the Medical Record
yawning is by no means a useless act,
for it often cures catarrh and other
affections of the throat, in many cases
giving instantaneous relief. 1t pro-
duces considerable distention of the
muscles Of the pharynX, constituting
a kind of message, and under this in
luence the cartiliaginous portion Of
the eustachian tube contracts expel-
ling into the pharynx the mucosities
there collected. According to NJ.
Naegeli, yawning is much more efics-
cious for affections Of the tube than
the methods Of Valsalva or Politzer,
and is more rational than the insuf-
flation of air, which is often difficult
20 perform properly.

Farmer Smith Talks.

EDITOR TRIBUNE :-NeWspapers are
considered the great instructors of the
people, but is their instruction always
correct? Let us see. A few years ago
we farmers of the Northwest were told
that the reason we did not raise better
crops was because we did not
thoroughly cultivate Our farms. This
was true to great extent, and is at
the present time. There is too much
slip-shod farming done; too much
work done at the halves, or half done.
Yet while we admit the above t6Sbe'
true, there are some things that we
are told that we must do in order to
reap bountiful harvest, over which
we stumble For an instance, a few
years ago we were told by the great
agricultural writer's that we must
plow deep. Now the great desidera-
tum of large majority of farmers is
large yields of grain, for this is the
road to wealth and prosperity; SO
farmers began to pillow deeper, and
this theory was followed for few
years by a large number of farmers,
and it was said by many that this
theory must be correct, becauae the
wise men had told us it was. Now
what was the result? 1t was this: On
moist, fiat land crops we're good, but
on high, rolling land, these dry seas
ons that we have had the past three
years, the ground has become dry
down as deep as was plowsd, and
in many instances the seed never grew,
and in others where it did grow the
crop was very small, and on rolling
land deep plowing proved to be a dam
age to the crops.
Now the same agricultural papers
that few years ago advocated deep
plowing tell us that while deep plow-
ing adds to the labor it does not add
to the crop. Now which of these
theories is correct? | say neither of
them; yet we should follow both
This may seem to be a contradiction,
but | think I can make it appear cor
rect. My farm is very rolling, but one
Of my neighbors has farm that is
fiat, and in wet season, to say the
least, very moist. In wet season [
can raise the largest crop and wise
versa in d dry season. Ny neighbor
can plow his land deep every year and
be sure of a good crop in a dry season;
but il plow my rolling land deep
every year [ fail Of good crop in a dry
season.
The truth is there is no theory that
is applicable to all soils, locations and
seasons, and if agricultural writer's
would SO state it they would be Of
more benefit to the farmer than they
are now; for tn ere are some farmers
that will follow any theory that is ad-
vocated in an agricultural paper, and
it is often q detriment to their sue
cess as farmers.
Do not understand me as being op-
posed to agricultural writer's and their
theories, for I'm not / take three
agricultural papers and l would not
be without them. The information |
get from them is worth more to me
than four-foid of their cost. But |
wish to have farmers mix in little of
their Judgment with the theories
of others. Ny wife has the reputa-
ton Of being q good cook and women
often ask her by what rule she mixes
this or that, and her reply is the rule
of common sense. Let us apply this
rule to farming and mix our common
sense with the theories Of others and
we will succeed much better in farm
ing. >. B. SMITH.
