Tho Alp. viii 10 Washed Away.

The Alps, from a geological point Of
view, are very recent. Our Welsh hills,
though comparatively speaking insig.
niiicant, are far moro ancient. They had
been mountains for ages and nges before
the materials which now compose the
Rigi or the Pilatus were deposited.
Indeed, we may say that it is because
they are so old that they have been 50
much worn down. The Alps themselves
are cruuihling and being washed away,
and if 10 fresh elevation takes place tho
time Will come when they will be no
loftier than Snowdon or HclvelIyn.
They have already undergone enor-
nous denud.tion, and it has been shown
that from the summit of Mont Blanc
some 10000 or 1900 feet Of strata
has been already removed. Denudstion
began rs socn as the land rose above the
sea and the main river valleys were ex-
cavated. Weekly.

WRCifliA'S ICE MINE,
It Is One Of thc Greatest Wonders In
This Country.

It Is One Of tic Greatest Wonders In
This Country.
One of the greatest cur;osities in the
United States, or in the world, perhaps,
is the wonderful ledge Of ice which ex-
lists, even in the midst Of the hottest
summer, in Scott county, Va. This nat
ural icehouse is situated Oh the north
side of Store mountain ard about six
miles from the mouth of q small stream
known as Stony creek. The marvel is
said to have been known TO at least enc
of the early settlers, Mr.. Danridge,
who, it is alleged, discovered it while
deer hunting away back in 1880. Ow-
ing to the fact that the land on which
it was situated could net be bought, Mr..
Dapr!dge positively refused to tell Of
the whereabouts Of the ice ledge, and
only visited the place when it was alb.
solutely necessary TO obtain q supply to
be used il case of sickness.
The old man died many years ago,
and from that time until 1893 the loca-
ton of Danridge's ice mine was I'M
known, the old gentleman having never
even taken his own family into the Sc
cret.
In the year last mentioned, however,
q party Of herb diggors visited the I'M
frequented region contiguous to Stone
mountain and were fortunate enough to
rediscover the lost ice mine.
During two or three months in the
middle Of summer the ice is only pro-
tectcc from the suns rays by "a thick
growth of moss. The formation of the
ice layer is similar to that of q coal
vein, being thin in some places and
thicker IN others, the average thickness
being about four feet. Persons of some
scientific attainments who have visited
the place for the purpose of studying
tie wonder say that it has the appear
ance of having been there since the time
OF the ice age. which the biologists talk
go much about. Another plausible theo-
~ Is that somewhere beneath the bed
is situated great natural laboratory
where ether is constantly formed and
expelled, and that the process Of freez-
ing is now constantly going on. What.
ever view is taken ii is one of the great.
est natural wonders the state affords.

FlOTATiON OF SPIDERS.
An EnSlisl, Writer Discusses the Subject
and Cites Some Instances.


and Cites Some Instances.
In an interesting communicated TO
Knowledge Gu "Spiders," tho Rev.
Samuel Barber discusses at some length
the phenomenon of the fiotation line,
and its method of attachment, which is
the foundation of the spiders web. Is
it not evident, asks the reverend gent!s-
man, that air-and probably at a high
temperature-1nust be inclosed within
the meshes Of the substance forming the
line when it passes from the spinrerets
into the atmosphere? The creature with
this substance lifts it into the cir. 1t
has been usual to explain the ascent by
the kite principle-Eamely, tho me-
chanical force Of the contiguous atnos-
phere-but air movements, especially ca
a small scale, are SO capricioIs and IN
controllable that without directive
force the phenomena seem quito mex
plicable.
In support Of this theory of direct
propelling force Mr. Barber gives some
| of his cwn observations. Writing one
day with two sheets CT QuaItO before
him, he saw a sTal! spider on the pa
Fer, and III order to test its power of
passing through the air he held enc of
the sheets of paper about q foot from
that on which the creature was run
ming. 1t assembled to the edge and van
| ished, bat i'll q moment it landed upon
the other sheet through midair il q hor-
izontal direction, and picked up tie
thread as 1t advanced. In this case there
was no air movement to facilitate mr.
any time TO throw line upward, which
indeed would not have solved the diff
Guilty. On another occasion, at dinner
party in Kent, four candles were lighted
f, ON the table, when thread WAS seen to
be strung from the tip of one of the
lighted candies and attached TO another
about yard off, and all the four lights
were connected i'll this way, and that
by a web drawn quite tight.
The only explanation which Mr.. Bar.
Der can suggest for this remarkable &C.
currence is that the spinner was sus-
! pended at first by a vertical line from
| above and thus swayed itself to and fro
from tip to tip of the candles. 1t was
certain the spider could not have as
cended from the table, and it was equal
| ly certain that aerial fiotation of the
line from a fixed point was impossible,
as it involved floating in four opposite
directions. The rapidity with which the
initial movements in forming a web are
made cannot be reconciled with any
theory of a simple atmospheric convec-
ton, and propulsion appears the only
explanation.

John X. McLean'S
Great Newspaper.

Without a single exception, there
is beyond doubt no greater or more
popular newspaper in the United
States than the Cincinnati Enquirer !;
or a more successful publisher than
its proprietor, Mr.. John R. Mclean.
The old-time prices for the Daily
Enquirer have been maintained, and
its circulation largely increased each
year; hard times and cheaper jour-
nails failing to arrest its onward march
and high appreciation of the public
for its true worth and merit.
The Weekly Enquirer at beginning
of the campaign year was offered at
SO cents a year, and its circulation
increased by the addition of over
zoo, 900 new subscribers; the most
substantial and coveted testimonial a
publisher could desire.
When asked for the secret of such
success, Mr.. Mclean frankly answers:
The Enquirer has no opinions to force
upon It's patrons, j; simply prints the
facts and tells the truth that the reader
may form his own opinions. BY
maintaining the price Of the paper,
more news and greater variety can he
furnished, and every class of business
Interests catered to, which a cheaper
journal cannot afford.
The very liberal support given the
Enquirer BY the public at large, makes
1t incumbent upon the manager mt
to serve 1t faithfully with zeal and en-
terprise in minor matters as well as
those Of greater magnitude.
