voican ees Of the United states.

Excluding Alaska, the United
States may be said to be non-volcanic,
States Mr.. Ralph s. Tarr, but it has
not been so long. A chain of vol.
canoes extends from southern South
America into Mexico, then there is q
large break, and the interrupted chain
begins again in Alaska, curves south
ward, and joins the chain of Japan.
The intermediate non-volcanic area
has just emerged from an era OF
stupendous activity. Future resump.
ton of such activity is not improbable,
for in the West are volcanoes so recent
as, like Mt. Shasta, to retain their
conical form, and some of these per-
haps are no more dormant than was
Vesuvius before the fateful year 1879,
when it buried Pompeii and Hercu.
laneum, beneath the most terrible
storm OF stones and ashes ever known
to man. In the Canon of the Color
ado, in the deserts of Nevada and
Utah, and in New Mexico, exist small
lava flows that must have been
erupted in very recent years, probably
since the white mans discovery of the
continent. These seem to record the
death throes of the country's latest
volcanic giants. The eruptions have
played part in bringing up stores of
metals, and the richest mines are
found in the volcanic districts OF
Tertiary times.

Here is a recipe for o mince pie
fit to grace a Christmas dinner. Take
four pounds of meat, that is, two
thirds apple, one-third meat, three
pounds of raisins, seeded and chopped
two pounds of currants, washed,
picked over and dried; three quarts of
cider, one pint of brandy, one heaping
teaspoonful OF cinnamon, one heaping
teaspoonful of nutmeg, the same OF
cloves and half the quantity OF mace.
Make very sweet with brown sugar.
The meat should be good piece of
lean beef, boiled the day before it is
needed. Half q pound of raw snet
chopped fine may be added. Chop
the meat, clean out bits of skin and
gristle and mix with twice the quan.
tity of fine juicy apples, also chopped.
Then put in the fruit, next the sugar
and spice, lastly the liquor. Mix very
thoroughly, cover closely and let all
stand together for twenty-four hours
before making the pies.

New York World.
When the last comet was streaming
in the sky. I was camping one night
in a canyon near the foot of Cook 8
peak. In the party was an old-and
for an Indiana fairly intelligent Ute
named Sam. Pointing to the Comet,
l asked him what he could say in its
defense from the standpoint of Ute.
Sam was, unlike most Indians, a great
talker, and could speak English very
we'll. He was ambitious to perfect
himself in the language and readily
seized on every chance for talk. In
deed, I discovered him on one or two
occasions all alone and talking vigor-
ously at q mark like savage Demos.
themes.
"Tell about that" said Sam. point
ing toward the comet. "Sam do it
heap easy. The sun is the man, and
he have moon for squaw; the stars
big stars and little stars-are all their
children; the sun don't like 'em; if
be catches one, he eats it. This makes
the stars heap 'fraid, and when the sun
has his sleep over and comes out the
stars run and hide. When the sun
comes, stars go-creep into holes and
hide. But the moon is good; she
loves her children, the stars, and
when the sun sleeps she comes out in
the sky and the stars are glad, and
they come out of the places they hid
in and forget to be 'fraid, and play.
But when the sun wakes again they
run. He is always after them, and he
catches them sometimes. This one,"
continued Sam, pointing to the comet,
"the sun catch one time. He got
away, though, but the sun bit and
hurt him. That's why he bled so.
Now he's heap scared, and so he keeps
his face always toward the place where
the sun is sleeping"

1t should be acknowledged by
thoughtful men that the glacial theory
overdone. A theory which pre-
sumes that drift deposits were made
by ice sheets that extended in some
longitudes into the torrid zone and on
other meridians left no traces in tenn
perate zones, is erroneous upon its
face, for climates are, and always have
been arranged in zones-modified it
is true, by ocean and air currents, but
still in zones.

A Large Man.

President Cleveland has been sur.
veyed by local tailor for new suit
OF clothes, and have been able to ascer-
tain his exact dimensions. He is fifty
seven inches in circumference at the
equator, which is just three inches less
than five feet. and therefore, accord
ing to the old rule his diameter must
be nineteen inches. He has grown
nine inches in girth since he was last
measured by the same tailor toward
the close of his former term. His
chest measurement is fiity-one inches,
which show gain of two inches in
five years.-Chica0o Record.

may be expected to yield from 25 to
to 40 bushels every alternate year.
Will begin bearing in a small way
about the third year.
Artichokes-2OO to 300 bushels.
Beans, green or snap-75 to l2O
bushels.
Beans, Lima-75 to 100 bushels of
dry beans.
Beets-4OO to 700 bushels.
Carrots-400 to 700 bushels.
Cranberries-100 to 300 bushels
800 bushels have been reported.
Cucumbers-About $50 600 per acre.
Currants-100 bushels and over.
GoOseberries-1O0 bushels and over.
Grapes-3 to tons.
Horseradish-3 to 8 tons.

els; 600 bushels is large average
yield.
Parsnips-50O to 800 bushels.
Pea, green in pod-1O0 to $50 bush
els.
Peaches-In full bearing a peach
tree should produce from 5 to 10 BUSH
els. Will bear fruit the second year.
Pears.-A tree 20 to 25 years old
should give from 25 to 45 bushels,
Peppers-3O,OOo to $4,000 to the
acre.
Plums-5 to 8 bushels may be con-
sidered an average crop for an average
tree.
POtatoes-1OO to 600 bushels.
Quinccs-200 to 400 bushels to the
acre.
Raspberries and Blackberries-5,Ooo

To arrive at any conclusion as to
the weight OF the sea would be diff
cult in the absence of sufficiently ac-
curate and exact figures as to area.
Mr.. Scbeoling. a writer in Longman's
Magazine, has confronted and dealt
with the problem. He has been
measuring and weighing the sea, and
according to his calculations "the
number Of gallons in the whole sea is
373, 600, ,OOO, ,OOO, ,O00, 600, ,OOO, which, if
it could be poured away at the rate of
1000 gallons second, would take
nearly $4,000, 900, 900 years to get rid
OF. If We could sell it even at so low q
price as a shilling for 10000 gallons,
the bill would come to 41 $50 ,OOO, ,OOO,-
100000.
Supposing the sea to be formed into
a round column reaching to the sun,
the diameter of the column would be
nearly II miles. The Pacific would
form 5S,OO0,OOO miles OF its total
length of 90, 600 600, and the Atlantic
100000. If it were a column of
ice, and the entire heat of the sun
could be concentrated upon it, it
would be melted in one second and
converted into gas in eight seconds,
which illustrates the heat OF the sun
rather than the size of the sea. The
weight of the sea is 1,665, 600, 600, ,OOO,-
OOO, 600 tons, and if contractor took
the job to move it at even so moderate
q price as a thousand tons for penny
he would require to be paid the
amount of the national debt 10000
times over in reward for his labOrs.
