made its appearance brought transactions
ND TO a respectable figure and gave the
market an animated feeling. The strength
displaved under the demand from the shorts
and the foreign buyers who bought more
than they sold was somewhat OF q surprise
TO the bear faction and when continual
ton OF yesterdays decline was repeated
positive strength was seen. Reports from
the West went TO show that the late atorleS
Of damage and the backwardness OF the
season have been much exaggerated, anu
there was apparent decided disposluon
to venture Into the market on the long SIDE,
which the rumors OF late heavy purchases
in St Paul by the insiders did much TO en-
courage. There was, however little Tea
ture in the dealings outside OF the Coalers
and Changers, even the Industrials taking
a backward position In the market, and re-
manned void Of interest throughout the
dav. The prices obtained were
generally well held until the
last hour, when there was another deter
mined drive at the list and the Changers
in particular the situation of the shorts in
the properties being rather desperate. Bur
lngton felt the full force of the assault and
il was driven down over l per cent. from
its best figures. The final changes show

Russian Law.

A case before a justice of the peace
in st. Petersburg showed the rigidity OF
the Russian law. An ice-cream vender
named rsyganoff was caught pedaling
his ware in wagon, while it is the Gus
tom of such vendors to carry about
their loads Oh their heads. The city
councillor accused poor Tsyganoff OF
acting contrary to the city ordinance.
The Judge, however, took different
view Of the matter. ''Since the vender,
Tsyganof, was licensed to sell ice
cream, and since his license paper does
not prescribe in what manner he should
carry about his ware, cannot impose
punishment on him for carrying about
his heavy barrel in wagon. The pris-
oner is discharged" said the judge.
Hereupon the city councillor declared
that many ice-crea1n vendors had APP
piled for permission to cart their bar
rels instead of carrying them on their
heads, but the authorities could not
grant them that permission because the
question had never come before the
senate to decide upon. Tsyganof was
warned not to peddle his ice cream in a
wagon again.

At Georgetown. Brown county, TWEEN
ty miles from railroad twenty-five
years ago Flora Staple was born
Since that time she has been more help.
less than babe, having no power OF
motion except the perpendicular move
ment Of her jaws. During all these
years she has taken nourishment only
In fluid form. Strange as it may ap'
pear, it is a fact that she has grown to
be very beautiful and of perfect form,
except for slight curvature OF the
spine, Her power of speech, says the
Savannah News, has been developed,
and she reads and speaks the English
language huently and correctly.
Two years ago she was brought to
this city and witnessed the parade Of a
large circus. Seeing a large elephant,
she informed her mother on returning
home that the sight of it had made an
impression upon her mind that she
would never forget, and that she be-
lieved if she had some pliable sub
stance she could form with her mouth
an image of the beast. She was at first
given an apple peeling and her parents
were greatly surprised on seeing that a
perfect image of the elephant was
formed with her teeth. Since that time
she has learned to form with great
rapidity letters, words and sentences as
perfect as print, and in this she takes
great delight.

Tho Icc-Troughs in Northern Siberia an
KamaChatka.

Kamachatka.
In consequence of the extreme con-
trast between the summer and winter
temperatures in northern Asia the con-
ditions for glacier construction are very
unfavorable. says writer in a Vienna
publication. On one hand the extreme
winter cold is unfavorable to copious
snowfall; on the other hand, what snow
does fall is dissipated by the extreme
heat Of summer. To this we must add
an excessive radiation due to the ex-
tremely clear atmosphere. AS a matter
Of fact there are no glaciers in northern
Siberia. On the other hand. the noun
tain country displays very characteris~
tic phenomena, which A. Helm has de-
scribed as the exact opposite of the gla-
the celebrated ce-oasins or ''Tarrine";
ice masses due to the extremely low
surface temperature Ia Siberia.
For the study Of ice-troughs III Siberia
we are indebted to K. Won Ditlnar, who
traversed the peninsula iii the years
1875. He thoroughly familiarized him
self with the existing conditions. and,
after the published views of other trav-
elers, he concluded that the following
circumstances constitute the necessary
conditions for the origination Of the ice
mulden or basins: Ice basins are formed
only in those sections of the valleys
which are either originally concave OR
at least quite horizontal. Above this
depression or fat surface there must be
q spring discharging an abundant sup
ply Of water, at q temperature so high
that it will not freeze in winter. Given
these conditions, cold summer with an
abundant snowfall will contribute ma
terially to the discharge Of water.
AS contribution to the explanation
of the origin of the ice basin we quote
the following from "A. Helm: 1.-THE soil
Of northern Siberia is frozen to a very
considerable depth; it's mean tempera-
ture is far below zero. The ice ce-
1nents sand and debris to permanent
solid sandstone and conglomerate. The
summer sun thavs the surface Layers
only: the icy substrata is impenetrable
water penetrating to them is rapidly
frozen. Even when the temperature is
above zero the water from the springs
freezes on reacnlng the suDSCrata where
springs discharge their water; the in
huence of the extreme cold Of the sub
strata, up to a certain point, tends
rather to the congelatiou Of the water
than to the melting Of the ice. In this
manner depressions and level valleys
overaowed by springs become covered
by thick layers of ice, which by their
formation and appearance remind one
of the silicious deposits from the gey-
sers of North America, New Zealand,
etc. Snowdrifts may further strengthen
these ice basins; the large dense masses
of blue ice are in many cases no more
dissolved, and the discharges from even
the larger springs are in summer partly
and in winter completely converted
into ice under the influence Of the ex-
treme cold in the soil and subsoil.''

The GREAT NORTHWEST.

The steady settlement of lands in Montana
ana Washington, the substantial growth Of
their cities, and the constant increase OF their
railway mileage, have rendered these states
center OF interest FOR explanation OF this growth
is found in study Of the capabilities aud re-
sources OF the states, which are fully ser forth
in three folders entitled Western Washington
just issued by the .NOrthe rn Pacific Railroad
AS route to the Northwest the Northern
Pacific stands unrivaled, From St. Paul and
minneapolis its express trains reach principal
points in Minnesota, North Dakota, Manitoba.
Montana, idaho, Oregon and Washington It
is the only line with through sleeping car sers
vice from Chicago to these states and the only
line running both Pullman tourist and free
colonist sleeping west OF St. Paul and
Minneapolis Passengers from the east should
ask or through tickets via the Wisconsin Gem
tral Line and Northern Pacific Railroad thus
securing the advantage OF through sleeping
cars pullman first class or Pullman sourist}
from Chicago, Ill.
noteworthy feature Of the Northern Pacific
Route is the fact that holders Of second class
tickets to Western points this line arc allow
ed the privilege Of stopping over It: Spokane,
Wash, and all points west of there for the pur-
pose of examining lands.
The dining cars on the Northern Pacific ara
an important part OF its service, and in conneo
tion with the grand scenery make this fayor-
lite line for tourists Of California and other sec
tons Of the west.

Without Beard or EVhisknrs.

Cleveland Only President with Mustache,
Without BEARD VVhisEnrs.
Whiskers have never been dreamed
of as factor in the history of a nation,
says the Philadelphia Record. And yet
the administration of President Lin
coin marked an epoch in the history of
this country which. while in itself CT
no great national moment, is none less
interesting from al historical point OF
view.
The administration of "Old Abe not
only witnessed the emancipation OF a
race, but apparently instituted an I'M
written law compelling ali presidents
of the United States to cultivate a hir-
safe growth in marked contrast with
the smoothly shaven faces of their
predeces sors. 1t is an interesting fact
that President Van Buren was the only
president previous to lincoln who wore
hair on his face. and Andrew Johnson
was the only president after Lincoln
who had smooth face, These are the
only exceptions to an otherwise gen
eral rule.
Since the rebellion boards have pre-
dominated They adorned the faces of
President Lincoln, Grant, Hayes Gar
field and Harrison. The element Of
whislzers, pure and simple, was repre-
sented by President Arthur, while
Grover Cleveland enjoys the distinction
of being the only president who wore a
mustache without beard or whisl1ers.
Upon taking a summary the follow
ing ratio appears: Fifteen presidents
wore smooth faces, four wore beard
and mustache, two wore side whiskers,
one wore beard and side growth, and
one wore mustacha alone.
