DEATH OF THE GREATEST MAN
OF THE 10TH CENTURY.

Hon. James q. Blaine has passed
over to the great majority, and the
world is mourning the loss. Mr..
Blaine was the idol of sixty millions
OF people, the towering giant OF
American craftsmanship the dofcn-
der of American honor and institu-
tions, the matchlcss orator OF the
United States Senate, the greatest
American of the age. Upon his
eloquent tongue our National Con-
gress hung for thirty years enrapt,
and his every public utterance the
nations of The earth inclined their
ear to catch. In summing up his
wonderful powers aud public virtues
1t is but just TO say. he was as wise
and diplomatic as Benjamin Frank
lin, as patriotic as George Washing
ton, as versatile and eloquent as
Henry Clay, as profound and
powerful as Daniel Webster. In
word he was the greatest American
who has ever lived. lie came from
the ranks and be rose from obscur-
ity to the pinnacle of lame. and has
distinguished services in both
houses of Congress, and in the cabi-
net Of two presidents has made his
name famous throughout the world,
and every person is anxious to read
the story of his wonderful career.
L. @. Crawford, Esq, who has SO
ably prepared the life OF Mr. Blaine,
has enjoyed the confidence of Mr..
Blaine for upwards of twenty years,
and was his most confidential friend
and companion in years past also
passed through political campaigns
and in travels abroad has made him
eminently fitted to prepare this
work better than any living man.

THIS EARTH OF OURS.
Its Ago According TO the Researches Of
Geologfsts.

Biologists have ascertained that the
rate at which erosion takes place can
lie measured; by applying their scale TO
the sedimentary rocks they have formed
q hypothesis rs 10 the timo which has
elapsed since erosion began.
The stratified rocks attain an average
thickness of 100000 feet. The material
Of which they consist was all washed
down from high planes, deposited and
left to strntify. by the inspection OF
river banks it Is found that in places
the surface of the land which has been
carried down as sediment I'm rivers has
been reduced at the ratio of a foot In
$50 years, while In other places, where
tho land was more stubborn or less
flexible, It had taken $500 yenrs 10
lower the surface one foot. The do
post must be equal To tho denudation.
We find that while some OF the sedi-
fnentary rocks have grown a foot in 730
years others have taken $500 years TO
rise that height. Thus the period of
time that was required 10 build up iOO,-
200 feet of documentary rock has varied
iaccording to locality from "a, OOO, 900
TO CSC, goo, 900 years. II follows that the
lactive work OF creation lasted for a
cycle intermediate between these two
figures. The cyclic varied with ondloss
succession OF periods of disturbance by
volcanic force and glacial action, and
the frequent submersion of dry land.
alternating with the emerging of conti-
inents out Of the seas. These may have
retarded the growth of sedimentary
rocks, but they cannot have accelerated

That Is tho Astonlshing Claim Made by
Alaskan Indian Husters
The Stickeen Indians positively rs
sert that within the last five years they
have frequently seen animals which,
from the descriptions given. must have
been mastodons, says the juneau Free
Press. Last spring. while out hunting,
one OF the Indians came across n series
Of large tracks, each the size of the bot
tom of n salt barrel, sunk deep I'm the
moss. He followed the curious trail for
somo miles, finally coming out In full
view OF his game. AS class. these In
dams are the bravest of hunters, but
the proportions of this new spectacle of
game filled the hunter with terror, and
he took 10 swift and immediate flight.
lie described the creature as being as
large as post-trader's store, with
great, shining, yellowish-white tuslss.
and a mouth large enough 70 swallow n
man at a single gulp. He further says
that the animal was undoubtedly OF the
same species as those whose bones and
tusks lilo oil over that section Of the
country.
The fact that other hunters have told
OF seeing these monsters browsing on
the herbs up along the river gives a Ger
tain probability to tho story. Over on
