no want Of other theories, but the fun
damental tendency of the age is To re-

improbable that this will be facilitated
by the wave theory of the so called

The problem Of gravitation, too. which
was so long regarded as a force acting
from distance, is now equally attrib-
uted to the agency of medium. In his
efforts TO demonstrate the oneness of all
natural forces, the physicist is not likely
TO be led astray, even although the cog

With cannon fire for sun ablaze.
We spy from any pillows lift;
And England still this tidal drift
Would she TO sainted forethought VOW

That martyr of its hour might now
Spare her the tears Of blood?
Asleep upon her ancient deeds,
She hugs the vision plethora bleeds.
And counts her manifold increase
OF treasure in the fruits Of peace.
What curse on earth's improvident,
When the dread trumpet skaters rest.
Is wreaked, she knows, yet smiles content
As cradle rocked from breast.
She, fmpious TO the Lord of Hosts,
The yalor Of her offspring boasts,
Mindless that now on land and main
bis needed prayer is active brain.

Awakened. muzzle muzzle bowled,
And high in swathe Of smoke the mast

On the northern coast Of California.
some thirty miles below the mouth of
the klamath river, is one of the most
interesting natural formations to be
found in this country, known as the Big
lagoon. Here the coast, which runs
north and south up to this point, takes
sharp turn inland. bordered by very
high hills, running to a distance of
about three miles, then turning out

shaped, and for ages past a sand bar has
been washing itself up across this bay
untH the bar has raised up out of the
water some ten or twelve feet, having
width OF about 100 feet and length of
fonr miles, reaching across the entire
bay.
This bar is in the shape of a roof.
When there Is storm the breakers viii
roll up one side Of it, break over, and
run down into the bay inside, and it is
a novel sight to stand there and watch
the waters, mountain high on one side
and perfectly calm on the other, the
line between the two at intervals hidden
altogether,
This bar is a sort Of short cut and can
be traversed on horseback. In a storm

Moss agates may be found in album

sun shines they glitter with dazzling
brightness.
