pOrtance and Scenic Beauty.

pOrtance and Scenic Beauty
One of the grandest geographical
features of the North American CONT
nent is found in the chain of great
fresh water lakes for they afford the
largest and longest system of inland
deep water navigation on the globe.
The combined area of these lakes is
5000 square miles of surface, extend
ing from tidewater, in the St. Law
renee river, a distance of 1,4OO miles
into the heart of the continent. The
head Of Lake Superior is LOO miles
from the Pacific ocean, so that for one
half the distance between the Pacific
and Atlantic oceans these waters di-
vide the Dominion of Canada from the
United States.
Lake Superior is twenty feet higher
than Lake Michigan, while there is a
fall of only nine feet in Lakes Huron
and Erie. Then there is a sudden de-
scent of 326 feet to Lake Ontario over
half of the plunge taking place at Nj
agara Falls. Lake Ontario flows into
the st. Lawrence, which has a fall of
S41 feet to tidewater at Quebec. so that
the beginning of the flow of this ire
mendous mass of fresh water is 696
feet above the level of the sea.
The cities of Buffalo, Ogdensburg
Cleveland, Detroit, Chicago and To
ledo are found on the banks of the St
Lawrence and the lakes. while there
are 107 ports of customs entry. The
scenery along the American side of
this fresh water system possesses
many features to be found on the sea-
coast There are bold masses of
Water-worn granite, cliffs Of sand
stone, wide beaches of silvery sand.
curious stratas of limestone, dense for
ests of oak and pine; in fact. the an
sence of salt in the water is the univ
apparent difference between lake and
sea.
The geological explanation for these
lakes is that when the Cordilleras in
South America, rose slowly from the
sea by that mighty convulsio1 of the
earth that is supposed to have had q
duration of 1000 years, the Sierras and
Rocky mountains followed thus cut
ting off from the Pacific ocean a va
body of salt water. As the mnuntains
rose and formed the present water

| time leaving no trace of its existence
except the presence of fossil. sea shells
and fishes. In Indiana and Illinois If

spherical masses, which, being cut
open and polished, reveal the fact that
they Were once corals and sponees.

ture nail driven into, the, board answers
for this. A is the coil and P the plunger.
The remaining wire frozen the battery con-
meets with one end of the coil wire. The
other end of the coil wire connects with
the stud b. The upper part of the plunger
part and il must be provided with two
projections, a and a. A projecting pin,
{. on the switch, is struck by the pins on
the plunger as the latter moves up and
down.
The method of action is this: The pro
lection a, as the plunger IS lifted. forces
the switch up on the stud b. This up-
Fig. A. is produced by a spiral wire spring.
6. In the jumping Jack the weight of the
arms and legs is relied on for raising The
plunger. When the switch is lifted till
it rests against the stud b, IL completes
the electric circuit by connecting the bat
terry and coil wires. Then the action o.
the electric current draws the plunsnr
| the pin a in the Ilunger down against tbs
rim e in the switch. and pushes the switch
down below the stud b. When the switch
separates from the stud the circuit is
broken the plunger no longer draws
| x upward till it rests against the stud b.
| The electric action is then repeated. SC
| the plunger alternately rises and falls with
an automatic motion.
Stops must be placed to prevent tbs
plunger from moving too far IN either
direction. For this purpose, brass nails on
wooden pins may be inserted in the board
| to which the switch is pivoted. These
should project so as to intercept the pins
of the plunger i and a, in their upward
and downward motions
Using the mechanism lust described, we
may next proceed to build an electric en-
cine.

view of the coil is given, as if cut in halves
and the front half removed. This coil
covered wire. The wire may be wound
on a thin paper tube, and thea dipped in
glue and dried thoroughly, so as to form
solid mass. The plunger, A. may be
a single iron rod or made up of a bundle
of short straight pieces of iron wire
wound with thread and dipped in glue
and dried.
The arms and legs of the jack work on
pivots, d, d, d, d. Pins b, b, b. b. project
from their inner ends. A pair of hori-
Zontal pins extend from the upper end
of the plunger, and rest on the pins b, b..
a sort of tongs, of strips of wood joiuted
at c, have their lower ends pivoted on the
pins b, b. These pins may take part of
the weight of the plunger. The whole
may be so proportional that the plunger
will have its weight just sustained by the
arms and legs.
On connecting the wires of the coil to
| the battery, the plunger will be drawn
down. and the jumping jack will throw up
his arms and legs. On detaching one wire,
and so breaking the current the plunger
will be lifted. and the arms and legs will
drop. The operation is simply effected by
touching and pulling apart two ends of
the circuit wire.
On the same principle with the same
! apparatus, other toys may be constructed.
A horse may be made to nod, his head,
or pair of boxers to raise their arms.

THE KEY AND ITS USE.
| To effect RAPID connexions and dlSCCn-
nections. a key is convenient. A simple
| one is shown in Fig. 8. Take a strip of
| brass or even tin, a couple of inches long,
and screw one end to a piece of board.
/ The brass strip must be bent so the free
end will be about quarter of an inch
above the board. To the screw which
holds the strip to the board, a short wire
| is connected. Another is connected tc a
| second screw just under the raised end
CT the strip or switch
| If now the ends Of the wires of an open

current will pass. On releasing the switch

Here Mr.. Conine shows conclusive
ly what . vague conception he has OF
the subject he comments upon. Most
of the leading journals" published at

cost the publisher barely paper and

that the Examiner, the Oregonian or
the P.-L. could supply their weekly

without that aid? Compare the
amount OF reading matter of the

temporaries, only one OF which pub
fishes a daily edition, and see what a
preponderance there is in its favor.

The suicide of Warden Coblentz, in
Walla Wslla, last Friday, is the last
act in a drama which has engaged
considerable public attention the past
few months, since the crookedness OF
Coblentz had became public through
an expose by the Seattle Telegraph.
1t seems that the Warden had been
for many months feathering his nest
by disposing of grain sacks to those
not ENTITLED to purchase and at
prices which afforded a liberal margin
of profit for himself over the rates
established by law.
When the facts became known, a
State campaign was in progress, and
investigation was delayed till time
when it would do the least harm to
the party having control of State
affairs. The evidence was, however,
so conclusive, that whitewash would
not efiectually cover the marks of the
scandal, and when an effort was made
to officially investigate the extent of
the imbezzlement, Coblentz came to
Olympia, doubtless to ascertain from
Gov. McGraw the extent OF the pro.
posed inquiry. He arrived in this city
on Thursday of last week, to find the
Governor absent. He, it seems, had
taken the train, the same day, for,
Walla Walla. Coblentz Immediately
returned to that city, and while at
dinner at the Penitentiary, Deputy
Sheriff Ellinsworth called and asked
for the Warden. 1t seems that Cob
lentz anticipated his mission, for he
Immediately asked, Have you a war
rant for me?" Being answered in tho
affirmative, he inquired "How much
are the bonds?" Five thousand dol.
lars" was the answer. "Well, /
don't know" said Coblentz, whether

rejoinder, than you think you have"

memorabilia Congress to that effect.
For years this was leading question.
Finally matters got to whitehead
when the Republican Territorial Con-
vention met in Seattle, where a furi-
GUS fight followed upon the question,
the anti-forfeiture side was downed
and Major Armstrong OF Spokane was
nominated.
The Democrats afterwards met and
nominated Chas. voorhees,, placing
him upon a strong forfeiture platform.
Upon this issue, much more than any
other, the Democrats went before the
people. A wave of righteous indigna-
ton swept over the land which hurled
the Republican party from power and
elected Mr.. Voorhees, to Congress.
The feeling was SO intense that Mr..
Voorhees, was again returned, two
years later. BY that time the officials
OF the railroad company had learned by
experience that it was bad policy to
antagonize the people, their patrons.
Since the officers OF the company were
taught by experience a lesson they
have never forgotten, they FASTENED,
in 1884, to eliminate the obnoxious
provision above quoted from their land
contracts. 1t now seems Mr.. Phipps
has come along and re-instated this
unreasonable and arbitrary provision
in all land contracts. If the people
with sparse population as citizens OF
Territory, we're powerful enough to
compel the company to recede from
this unjust. arbitrary and unusual
hardship upon the settlers, how much
more potent will they probably be
as citizens Of sovereign State? We
are satisfied this is not coming from
the federal court, the receivers, or the
stockholders Of the Northern Pacific
but from subordinate who is making
himself conspicuous for incompetency
or dishonesty, having some sinister OIL
selfish motive prompting his action
Let it come from whatever source il
may, or be it prompted by whatever mo
tive that is uppermost, it is an outrage
and hardship that will not be sub
mitted to without protest. If thi!
policy is to be fastened upon the PEG
pie of this State, it will be in order t.
prepare and at the approaching Legis
lature to pass memorial praying the
federal court, or the receivers of tn.
company, for relief, and we now serve
notice upon the official or officials re
sponsible for this hardship that it vii
again drift into politics, and again viii
the people be aroused and in the enc
triumph as they did in the Territorial
days. The investigation we set on foo
inquiries as to who is responsible TO-
raising the price of timber lands il
Western Washington to five times thu
ratio that had been set upon them. II
our next issue we expect to give som'
facts that will fix the responsible!
and show that the arbitrary action o
this official is not done in the interes
OF his company, but that he is actuatet
by a personal and mercenary motive
that he is betraying his trust and il
unworthy of the confidence of his EN-
blowers.
