Bumps on the Earth.

The alarming theories propounded by scientists make one sit up at first glance. For example, NJ. de Lapparent read a paper before the scientific con- gress at Paris the other day in which he labored to prove that the mountains of the earth are decreasing in size, and that they will ultimately vanish alto gether. The tremendous friction of the atmosphere is wearing them away. The Alps, he said, exemplifed the youth, the Pyrenees the maturity, the mountains of Provence the declining years and the central plateau of France the death and dissolution of mountain ranges. But don't worry. Four or five hundred thousand years must slip by before the bumps on the earth's surface are razed.

MIGRATORY BIRD A Proposal to Put the Capital on Wheels And Start it in a SOuth-
 erly Direction. Another Effort to Replace the Crown Upon Tucson. Provision Made for the Disposition of the Capitol Grounds
 in Phoenix.

Another attempt was initiated yester- day in the assembly to remove the capital from Phoenix. It was 8 bill in- troduced by Dr. Wright of Cochise county. It differs from the last two measures having the same general ob- ject of removal in view, in that it specially makes Tucson the seat O. government, instead of leaving the prize open to competition among aspiE- ing capital centers. Proylsi on is made for the disposition of the capitol grounds already established here and for the procuring of others at the pro- posed capital.
 Under suspension of the rules the bill was advanced to second reading.
 Later in the session house bill No. 36, providing for the permanent loca- tion of the seat of government was indefinitely postponed.
 The following is the text of Dr. Wright's bill:

THIS WAS A SMART CAT.
How He Convinced Himself That It Was
 His Own Image.


 His Own Image.
 The late Dr. Romanes, in his 'tAni- nal Intelligence" gives two stories of cats, which, on seeing their own rehec- tion in looking glass, convinced them selves that the reflection was an illu- sion. In the case of very intelligent cat of mine, he went, think, a step be- yond this-namely, he satisfied himself that it was in some way his own image Even if my deduction is wrong, the first part of his proceedings was so singularly like those in Dr. Romanes' accounts, that it seems as though it were uni form law of cat nature to act in this way, and so far it may not be alto gether uninteresting
 Il put the cat on table, in front of a small toilet mirror. After looking at his reflection for short while, he went behind the glass; then he returned to his seat in front, and again watched it attentively. After few moments he rapidly dashed behind it. He again re- turned to his seat in front of the glass, and, while retaining his seat and keep ing his eyes fixed on the image, he struck about behind the glass with his paw in different directions
 His next action, was, I fancy, sug- gested by seeing the image apparently strike with it's paw also. Keeping his seat and retaining his eye fixed on the image, he proceeded to if I may use the word) posture in front of the glass; He raised his paws alternately, licked them, touched the glass, moved his head, etc. l have tried to simply de- scribe facts, and as far as possible avoid drawing conclusions"

THE OUT-D-DiNNER MAN.
Ono Who Is Not Brilliant, But Makes
 Himself Useful.

Himself Useful.
 "No," said the slightly cynical bach elor to New York Tribune man, tits not because I am tremendously popu- lar that I get invitations, and I don't consider it such an honor to be invited to dine somewhere every night in the week with half a dozen or more invita- tions week to spare. Why in the world do you suppose they invite me? We'll, l am good deal like the fellow who is taken on ship and made to work his passage. He pays for his voy- age with work. l work my passage at the dinners. Oh, yes, do. There's no use in being vain about these things. You see, I'm not married, and there's always some young woman, or cid woman, for that matter, who has to be at discount at dinner. Of course, he takes woman out to dinner, but some man has to be provided for his wife.
 ''I'm just useful at dinner and that's why get invited. I'm not good-look- ing and l never said a bright thing in my life, but 1 can talk streak of stuff and nonsense that is necessary to keep dinner going. I'm good natured and amiable. I like everybody, and so I get along comfortably with my neigh bors. In mild sort of way, I SUD- pose, am amusing. And then I am good laugher. I laugh at all the good things that are said, and at many of them that are not so good. get in my own little jokes when the time comes, and so we row along through the dinner, I working my passage and my hostess smiling approval on me.
 "Oh, no, it's not bit damaging to my vanity. simply know it's so, and accept it cheerfully. can't dance for shucks, so I'm of no earthly use at dance. If 1 were good dancer I'd probably come in for all that, too. My strong point is dinner, and so I'm wanted there, and not at dance. It dosesn't wound my vanity bit. en- joy the dinner. Having lot of pretty women around the table, and listening to them, and talking to them is lots more fun than sitting alone in club, with only lot of ghostlilze walters to amuse you. It's a perfectly fair bargain. I talk and I am sweet tempered for my ferriage, and I get on the ferry good dinner and enjoyable surroundings. That's all there is to it, and as for the honor of the thing and all that, there's no more honor in my being invited to dine out every even ing than there would be in going out to fiddle for a party at the regular price. l talk and get my dinner and pleasant company. The other man gets his five or ten dollars, or whatever the price is, and fiddles."

Charitable Work.

The Capitol City Lodge No. 81 OF
the A. o. U. w. have made n move.
ment in a direction that will receive
the commentator and approval OF
all charitably inclined people and
the public generally. The step is
one that will probably be followed
by other lodges, as it is certainly
worthy of imitation. The lodge
has decided to solicit aid, donations
which when a fair amount has boon
secured, will be turned over to q
committee consisting Of one or more
from each church denomination in
the city, and will be by them dis.
tributed among the most worthy and
deserving. The impartial and gen
nine spirit of charity in this move.
ment is demonstrated by the fact
that the distribution will be made by
the church people who ought to be
well informed and best able to give
to those who need it most. The
lodge is certainly to be commended
in its course and it will no doubt be
followed by others.

On Thursday night last one Of
the seyerest snow storms that ins
ever been experienced in this sec
ton of the state took place. Snow
fell all day Friday and by Friday
night it had drifted in some places
to about three feet. To add 20 the
discomfort, the Thermometer went
down very near to zero, aud it re
manned cold until Monday evening,
whom it again began to snow and
several inches fell. The snow fall
must have been fully fifteen inches
altogether and one Of the heaviest
that has been known in years. The
river is still blocked but the ferry
is operating at a point where the
river opened during the arm days.
Tie wheat will no doubt be benefited
by the SNOW although the discomfort
and hardship on the stock will be
severe.
