The Colors of the Earth.

The wonderful difference between
the same landscape in winter and in
summer is phenomenon familiar to
all jewellers in the temperate zones
The two great elements Of change
are the presence Of snow In winter
and Of leaves Of grass in summer. IL
we could look at our globe from the
moon the variations in its aspect due
to seasonal changes would perhaps bo
even more striking than 1t appears to
those upon its surface.
In fact, we sometimes lose sight of
the very important part which vege-
tatlon plays in giving color to what
might be called the countenance OF
the planet.
1t is not the higher forms of plants
that always produce the greatest
effect in this way Some Of the most
striking scenes upon the earth owe
their characteristic features to MOSES
and lichens. The famous crimson
cliffs" of Greenland, which extend for
miles northward from Cape York,
derive their splendid color from the
growth Of red lichen which covers
their faces
The cliffs rise between seventeen
hundred and two Thousand feet
straight from the waters edge, and
being composed Of gray granite, their
aspect would be entirely different
from what it is but for the presence
of the lichen.
Coming to less magnificent but not
less beautiful scenes, the rocky ass
called the Golden Gate in the yell
lowstone National Park owes its rich
color and its name to the yellow
lichen covering its lofty walls; and
the indescribable hues Of the great
hot-spring terraces arise mainly from
the presence of minute plants -four
ishing in the water that overhows
them.
Considered as a whole, the vegeta-
tton OF planet may give it charac-
teristic aspect as viewed from space.
Many have thought that the red color
of Mars may be due to the existence
of red instead of green vegetation
there.
That its broad expanses of forest and
prairie land cause the earth to reflect
considerable quantity of green
light to its neighbors is indicated by
the fact that at the time of the new
moon greenish tint has been de-
tected overspreading that part of the
lunar surface which is then illumi-
mated only by light from the earth. -

A Nice Sort of a Tramn.

"There was the incest tramp along
here to-day" said Mrs. Highland
Parke to her husband, at supper last
night, "He wasn't bit like the or
,dinary tramps, all dirty and with a
lot of matted hair on his face, and a
red nose and bleary eyes and all that
sort Of thing. OF course, his clothes
weren't very good, but he was clean,
and he was so polite"
what did he want?" asked Mr..
Highland Parke, as he covered his
tea biscuit with honey.
Something to eat, but he didn't
demand it as his right, as most Of
those fellows do. He told me that
he had been out of work for long
time and, on account Of the strln-
,gency of currency, he was unable to
get q job. He said he had oOnsump-
tion--galloping consumptiOn--and he
had fearful cough, and while he
was talking to me he took his hat off
and used good grammar and looked
80 pitiful that / offered him meal.
He wouldn't consent to take 1T unless
/ would let him do something for 1t,
and, even when I told him that he
was too weak to work, he insisted on
doing something. He asked me il we
didn't want the lawn moved and,
when I said we did, he insisted on
moving 1t. l watched him for a
while and he did a pretty good job, l
guess"
%Hum," said Mr.. Highland Parke,
as he spread more honey on another
tea biscuit, che was an extraordinary
tramp, that's fact. l guess I'll go
out and see what sort of a job he did
ON the lawn"
In a few minutes Mr. Highland
Parke returned with an ominous look
ia his face.
ale was, indeed, very nice
tramp" said he, in peculiar tone of
voice.
"Why, Highland" exclaimed Mrs.
Parke. "What ON earth is the mat
ter? Didn't he cut the grass?"
ooh, yes; he cut the grass"
well, don't you think he was a

INVESTIGATION into the Big -Four
wreck still further demonstrates that
the accident was due to the absence
Of the block system. The second
section was frequently in sight from
the rear platform Of the first section,
state of things which would have
been impossible with the block sys-
tenn in operation. The stories of the
train crews do not agree on all points,
in fact they differ materially in many
particulars, but the facts thus far
developed all tend to show that the
accident was due to the second sec
tion following the first so closely that
a smashup was inevitable when the
first section stopped. There are
hints Of sleepy engineer and care
lessness in other quarters, but the
main point that the accident could
not have occurred with the block
system in operation remains as prom
inent as ever.

The Dairy.

Butter statistics are surprising.
The census returned show the enor-
nous aggregate of 100000 tons, OF
200, 10000 pounds, manufactured
In the United States in 1890; and the
quantity has probably increased
since. How much Of all this was
oleomargarine, sold under the name
OF butter, it is now getting a little
late in the day to inquire. But the
the returns are professedly all of gen.
uine butter, and this may be the fact
1t is said that the 1890 product in
this country would require 1000
freight trains of 30 cars each, and
each carrying 20 tons, to transport it.
Iowa seems to be the largest butter
producer-her return, three years
ago, being a hundred million pounds

The FIeeting Salmon.

To investigate the rapid disappear
ance Of the Columbia river salmon,
the United States Government has
sent Dr. G H. Gilbert, professor of
zoology at Leland Stanford, Jr., Uni-
verslty, and o. P. jenkins, professor
of physiology at the same Institution,
and one or two other scientific men
upon an expedition to that stream.
They have just returned to Sam Fran
cisco, and report that the numerous
nets, seines, traps, and other devices
that fill the Lower Columbia from
Astoria long distance upward, and
the reckless slaughter OF the fish by
the Gamers, are the cause of the
scarcity Of salmon. Prof Jenkins
said that Major Marshall Macdonald,
United States Fish Commissioner,
would go West this fall with a view
to securing legislation In Oregon and
Washington to protect the salmon.

ELEPHANTS AND RAILWAYS.
Natives Of India Have Prejudice
Apainst tho Iron UorAe,

Natives OF India Have Prejudice
Against tho Iron Horse.
Not a few people in India have de.
cided objections to the railways,
which in recent years have been in
troduced in that country. Among
these directors are the elephants, to
whom railway travel seems to be es-
peclally hazardous. More than one
elephant, even on the American con-
tinent, where elephants are scarce
has been killed by collision with
train. The most famous Of all ele-
plants, the great Jumbo, met his
death in this way.
The Indian locomotives are more
in danger Of grasshoppers, 1t appears,
than they are Of elephants. When a
train runs into great army Of grass
hoppers covering the track to depth
OF several feet, 1t is sure to be
stopped, and in grave danger Of being
derailed. Accidents Of this nature
appear to be not infrequent In India,
But In a collision with an elephant,
1t is usually the elephant which suf-
fers most. He can hardly get under
the wheels; and as the locomotive
has more power within it than the
elephant, the animal is generally the
one Of the two antagonists who is
thrown Off the track.
In the domains of the Nizam Of
Hyderabad, an Indian potentate Of
great consequence and Of extensive
domains, the railway is so new
thing that the people are not yet ac-
customed to it. Not long ago the
Nizam, having occasion to make q
journey, preferred to travel by a
special train instead Of on elephant
back, but he sent his elephants on
before him, over the highway.
AS the mahout, or elephant-driver
in charge Of the herd, was proceeding
on his way, he came to the intersec-
ton of the railway with the public
road. AS it made short cut, and
was level and smooth, while the road
was bad, the elephant driver thought
he would take the railway. So he
conducted his animals upon the en-
bankment, and they went numbering
on over the rails and ties.
Presently the Nizam's special train
came whirling round the curve. The
engine.drlver saw the elephants, and
reversed his lever and gave the signal;
but an elephant is a slow animal to
move. BY the time the astonlshed
mahout had began to deliver his or
ders to the elephants to get off the
track, the train was upon him.
The largest elephant in the COM
pany, said to be without a rival in
India, was overthrow, crushed and
killed. His mahout was also killed.
Another elephant lost his trunk, and
another one of his tusks, while sever
al more were badly damaged.
The Nizam was sorrowful witness
of this destruction He wept with
grief, and is said to have lamented
the introduction Of railways into his
dominions, The unfortunate man
who was the cause Of the disaster
lost his life as the penalty of the of
