The Missouri Moving westward.

''Tbere is curious thing about
the long, narrow lakes that border
the Missouri river, said r. G. Schultz,
of Omaha. There is but one such
lake of any size on the west side of
the river from Omaha to st. Louis,
while there are hundreds of them on
the east side. This seems to indicate
that the bed of the river is gradually
moving toward the west, leaving
lakes at intervals to fill the old chan.

PLANTATION of the phenomenon, unless
the earth's motion, on its axis, from
west to east, is partially overcome
by the weight of the water. Thus
the weight would be thrown against
the west bank and would wash it
away more rapidly than it would fill
up the east bank, SO the river would
move west. st. Louis Globe-Demo-

There is good story of George Will
liam Curtis which seems never to have
been published. He was lecturing on a
Buffalo stage once, when suddenly a
heavy rope somehow Groke loose from
its moorings i'll the flies above and
dropped with tremendous thud to the
floor behind the speaker. Mr.. Curtis
looked around in mild surprise to see
what had happened; then, turning to
the alarmed audience again, said, with
twinkle in his eye, "Ah, that must have
been the thread of my discourse"
Somebody on front seat caught the
joke first and broke out in a chuckle,
which instantly developed into roar of
laughter from the whole house. 1t was
q good many minutes before the thread
OF that discourse could be resumed
