The Cutting Power of Rivers.

We frequently see statements and
estimates of the amount of sand and
mud that is annually carried into the
ocean by the great rivers of the world.
No one who has seen a suddenly
formed rain torrent cut a deep chan
mel in a roadway can doubt the
power Of water to wear away the
features Of the globe.
In fact it has been estimated that
in about six million years, If the
present rate of denudatiOn be con-
tinued, the whole surface of the earth
will be smOothed off to one general
level.
But while it is easy to see how a
river and its tributaries can rapidly
cut their way through ordinary soil
and sand, it is more difficult to con-
ceiVe the remarkable effects produced
by water which runs over a bed of
solid rock.
The Colorado River. for instance,
flowing between lofty walls Of rocks
and upon a rocky bottom. is still
deepening its channel
The explanation of the cutting
power of the water Of the Colorado
lies, as the Rev. DR.. Hutchinson. the
geologist, has pointed out, in the fact
that it is charged with sand brought
to it in great quantities by its tribu-
taries. This sand, being swept down
the steep gradients of the river, wears
away the rocky bed as emery dust
wears. stone.
Thus nature assists nature on all
sides, and the sand that frost and
wind and water have formed out of
the exposed rock of the mountain
| becomes, in turn, an instrument for
| channeling and wearing away the bet
ter protected rocks of the valleys be.

Presbyterian SYNOD.

At the meeting of the synod of Kan
sas at Ottawa, the standing committee
on temperance reported through its
chairman, Rev. Theodore Bracken.
Phillipsburg Kan, the most important
feature of which was the following on
prohibition:
''We reaffirm our testimony that alb
solute prohibition is the most effective
way of abating the saloon nuisance.
Whatever OF failure there has been in
the enforcement of the law has been
largely due to the neglect of officers
whose sworn duty it is to execute the
law. The question of prohibition is one
of the most important questions to the
people of this state. We cannot afford
to lose any ground that has been
gained. and the religious sentiment o.
this state demands that this question
shall not be ignored.'
The standing committee on church
erection made its report through Rev
S. NJ. Davis, u. D., which contained
various recommendations, which were
adopted. The committee appointed to
audit the treasurer's report, offered
their report through A. E. Taylor, and
1t was approved. Rev. D. G. Miner,
u. D.. presented the report of the
standing committee on Sabbath
schools.
The committee on education reported
through Rev. William Bishop, D. d.
The records OF Neosho and Highland
presbytery we're approved. The COM
Inlttee appointed to consider the resig-
nation of DR.. McCabe as treasurer and
stated clerk reported through Rev.
Horace Bushnell. The follwing resolu-
ton was substituted for this report:
''That DR.. McCabe be requested to serve
the synod of Kansas as stated clerk for
at least three years, to fill up the twen-
ty-five years of service to this synod. -
Rev. Thomas Marshall, d. D., of the
synod of Missouri, and Rev. J. A. Grit
fths, of the synod of Nebraska, were
invited to sit as corresponding members.

head OF young steers for Ed Hoag,
found he had Job on his hands after
rains came. The farmers who have
plenty of corn do not want to sell their
young stock
Stockton News: Last spring quar-
ter section southeast of town was sold
for certain sum, and hair of tie wheat
standing on the place was to go to the
purchaser. After threshing out the
crop, it was found that one-half the
crop amounted to so per cent of the
purchase price. The entire crop would
have paid for the farm and quite a nice
sum over.
Arkansas City Traveller: There is a
difference of opinion among cattlemen
and others who are experienced in such
matters as to the disease among the
COWS in the city being Texas fever A
man living on Chestnut avenue west OF
Frisco, says that the dead COWS hauled
out across the river will average nearly
one day. He has had some expert
ence with diseases of cattle, and says
the majority of them die from some 9th
er cause than the fever.
Dodge City be-Republican: Niles
Wiseman had three and one-half acres
OF ground which was plowed five years
ago. Four years ago it was listed
into corn, but the corn was not Guilt
waited and sunhowers took it. Last
March he raked off the dead weeds and
burned them; then drilled in one and
one-half bushels of barley to the acre.
He has been using this barley for four
weeks before threshing, to feed eight
head of horses. The grain was so
heavy considerable of it lodged SO the
machine could not gather it clean; but
last week he threshed 233 bushels of
very heavy, plump barley from this
tract of land.
Lincoln letter: The acreage of wheat
sown last year exceeded that of any
previous year. The quality of the grain
is excellent, and Notwithstanding the
fact that prices are comparatively low,
the farmers say they are realizing more
out of each acre than ever before. Ed
Harper, of Scott township, threshed
5644 bushels of wheat off eleven acres
of ground, last week, and put the wheat
on the Barnard market at 81 cents, re-
ceivng nearly $28 per acre returns, or
nearly dOnble what the land is worth.
While the corn crop will not equal that
of last year, still there will be corn to
spare. Flowing is nearly done and the
acreage of wheat is fully one-halt more
than last year. From two to four extra
wheat trains go over the branch every
day loaded with wheat from the Saline
river valley.

IT was time for another portrait of
Columbus to turn up This one
comes from Danbury, Conn. Strange
to say, it Is not pronounced an origi
nal taken from life, nor attributed to
any of the contemporary painters or
to later generation that might have
painted from descriptions given by
contemporaries. 1t is accompanied by
a twin, portrait of Vespucci, by an
unknown hand also. 1t is to be eX-
pected that names in pigment palimp-
sest will after awhile be disclosed on
these canYases, and preparations to
this achievement are already under
way in the detection of backing
done twice over and believed to rep
resent in each case 100 years of age.
In spite Of all pretentiOns to the con-
trary. there has not been adduced a
solitary fact to show that a portrait
of Columbus was painted during his
life. The gallarY Of portraits" al
ready advertised in various parts of
the country are equally open to
doubt, and not one of them has been
authenticated in any credible way as
even an approximate to truth.

THERE was time when Bismarck
held the press in contempt, but a
change for the better has come over
him within the past year or two.
The other day a correspondent
found the Prince in an amiable mood,
and he delivered himself thus: ere

views is to interview me. Any jour
nalist who is properly introduced will
find me almost at any time willing to
speak, and it is only the hesitancy of
the German press that made it posi-

sion to ''that young man IN Berlin
explains Bismarck's change of heart.
Having incurred the Emperor's hos
Utility he realizes the need OF a power
full ally and naturally turns TO the
newspapers. Bismarck's judgment is
improving.
