Missouri 10000 Years Hence.

According to the engineers of the by
geographic bureau, the level of the gulf
of Mexico is one foot higher than twas
in 1859, and. of course, the encroach-
ment on the surrounding coasts has been
greater or less, pending on their charac-
ter. In some places, where the marginal
lands are composed of high, rocky bluffs,
this change of level has gone on from
year to year without attracting atten
ton. On the other hand, many low ly.
ing points (some that were once inhab
tied by the primitive inhabitants or by
the pioneer white settlers), are entire
ly submerged The cause of this change
of level has not as yet been ascertained,
but it is reasonably certain that it is the
result of either settling of the dry land
or of a general and uniform rising or
upheaval in the gulf bed. No man who
has given the matter moment S thought
will argue that there is more water in
the gulf now than there was 35 years
ago. On the contrary, there isn't the
least doubt but that there is much less
However this may be, if this aqueous
encroachment is steadily maintained,
Keokuk will be deep water harbor and
st. Louis and the whole of Missouri
will be entirely submerged in less than
10000 years from Jan. l, 1895.-St

The Mystery of Ambergris.

Ambergris is an odoriferous, fatty
substance often found floating upon the
surface of the ocean or upon shore,
where it has been cast by the waves 1t
is known to be a morbid secretion of
whales, but whether it is found in
their bodies irrespective of species or
age or whether in the stomach or intes-
tines is not certainly known. The best
authorities are of the opinion that it is
formed only in the intestinal canal Of
the sperm whale (Physetor macrocepha-
lus).
Jumps of this curious substance range
in weight from one-half ounce to 100
pounds and upward, the largest lump
known to history weighing 162 pounds,
and was sold by petty oriental mon
arch to the Dutch East India company
over 100 years ago. The seasons take Of
ambergris by American whalers seldom
averages 100 pounds for the whole feet.
In 1892 it was only 81 pounds, and in
1889 but 70. These figures will not seem
so small when it is known that the 7s
pounds taken IN the year last nance
had market value of $23, 200.-St,

HIS 500 ANXIOUS WIVES.
Should the Amer of Afehanistan Die TIL,
Would All Pc Shot

should the Ameer of Afshanistan Die Thee
Would All Be Shot.
There is certain village in the Mid
lands where the illness of the ameer of
Afghanistan has been followed With
painful anxiety The reason is to be
found in the following curious, but
believe, perfectly authentic story: Some
years ago an enterprising young tailor
left the village in question and went
abroad to seek his fortune. He eventu-
ally found his way to Kabul Here great
luck awaited him. He obtained the pat
ronage of royalty and became the pools
of Afghanistan. He had left sweet
heart behind in England, and, as soon
as lie found himself On the road to for
tame he sent for the damsel to join him.
She came, but here fortune deserted the
tailor. His intended bride in her turn
obtained the patronage of royalty, with
the result that she eventually became
one of the 300 wives of Abdurraham.
This, however, is only the first act Of
the tragedy. 1t is understood that, by
the laws of Afghanistan, when the
ameer dies, the whole of his 800 wives
must be shot The laws of the Afghans
are as immutable as thoseof their ancient
neighbors, the Modes and Persians, and
the whole of the little Midland village
where the ameer's English wife was
born and where her parents are still liv
ing has been during the past week or
two in high state of excitement over
the possible fateof the young lady For
tunately the ameer seems better now,
and it is to hoped, if only for the sake
of ais wives, whatever their nationali-
ty, that the improvement may continue.
In the meantime cannot diplomacy do
for the young woman? At his
time Of life, and with a equity habit to
boot, | should have thought Abdurrah
might have been induced to get along
with 800 of them. If, however, he must |
nave round number in the family cir.
Gle, perhaps an exchange might be ne.
gotiated. Truth.

was permitted to register and given a
room. He was we'll dressed and very
pleasant spoken fellow, and his bill for
extras soon assumed startling proper,

ed, and after he had been there several
days party stopping there told them
he was a beat. The clerk fixed up a
scheme, and that evening he got into the
fellows room on some pre5ext after he
had retired, and calmly gathering up the
fellows coat, vest and pants told him
they could be redeemed at the Office for
the amount of his bill
The fellows nerve did not desert him
even in this extremity. He borrowed a
macintosh coat from the clerk which
reached to his heels, which he put on
over his underclothing, in order to go
after some money, and walked to the
Kimball House, where he boldly regis
tered and was shown to a room, leav-
ing word that when his baggage arrived
it was to be kept until he got up in the
morning.

ty attached to the house. The fellow
then walked back to the Markham house,
paid his bill, obtained his clothes and
