In the restless effort to find new
means OF stimulating the taded appe-
tites Of social pleasure-seekers france
holds her own we'll, says the Nashville
Banner. Her latest and the most
freakish idea is the 80 o'clock phos-
phorescent tea" which Is a combina-
ton of the stock in trade OF SPIRITUAL
istic .fakys with the schoolgirl tricks
Of a juvenile party. Five O'CLOCK Id
France Just now is the twilight hour,
when curtains are usually drawn n
lamps are lit. Instead Of lamps the
guests, the furniture and the cups n
saucers furnish the light at the phos-
phorescent teas. On walls, ceiling. di-
vans, chairs, carpets and costumes
there is spread a phosphorescent SUD
stance that absorbs light during me
day and at night causes the room to
glow with a weird, unholy light. The
effect Is said to be SO unearthly that
every one moves about the room with
a cautious, timid step and the CONVEX
sation is involuntarily carried on in
subdued tones, as though a funeral
were the subject under discussion
CHASTITY and ghostly seem the guests,
weird and woe-begone the faces OF the
servants who hand around the gleam-
ing tea-cups, while the hostess, in her
phosphorescent costume, looks like an
unholy %wanderer from the spirit world.
All that is needed to make the illu-
sion OF unearthiness complete is the.
presence OF the ghostly musicians, who,
half hidden behind banks of phosphor-
escent shrubbery, produce slow n
mythical melodies from instruments
that sparkle and flame with the same
substance that Eliminates the te-S-
room. The substance used is a patent
mixture that Is guaranteed not to emit
an obnoxious odor. With the ordin-,
airy phosphorescence the company
would either have to meet with doors
and windows wide open, to allow the
sulphuric smell to escape, or run the
risk Of asphyXiation. So much OF a
success has 1t become, in fact, that the
phosphorescent ball Is an event that
will come off in Paris shortly. The,
programme for the ball is based on the
same idea as the tea, and the effect
will be still more weird and striking,
Instead Of the sulphuric guests sitting
quietly around a o discussing tea
and exchanging gossip couples wrap
ped in cleaning garments Of dull flame
will glide around the darkened ball
room like spirits Of the departed in the
deserted halls Of a ruined mansion.

says the New York Post. California is
a remarkable state. Some of Its coun-
ties are as large as many states and
as barren as some very poor ones.
While California Is famous as being
the land Of flowers and for its mild
winters. It is also the land of extraor-
binary s~nowstorms, which may be seen
under many and varying. conditions.
Perhaps the most attractive exhibitions
are seen In southern California, where
from the San Gabriel valley one a
watch the snow falling in the noun
tains while standing in the orange
groves, surrounded by flowers and all
the conditions of summer. The noun
tains are then covered with snow down
to the 2,500-foot level, and the dwell
ers In the valleys go up the trails and
the mountain railroad and, bringing
down huge snowballs and snow men,
deposit them in the fields Of wild flow
ers, efecting the change in fifteen or
twenty minutes, to the wonder Of the
tourists,
The winter Of 1890 was one that will
long be remembered In Plumas county.
In the town OF Quincy the sno was
nine feet deep on the level without
drifting, and where 1t drifted 1t was
heaped up in literal now mountains.
1t SO happened that a man from the
east was obliged to go to a town named
Eureka Mills on some business Of i'm
portance and after some difficulty OBJ
tanned q guide who would take him
| over the mountains. Their horses wore
snowshoes as well as the men, and
some Of the snow they passed over
judging from the trees, must have beer
forty or more feet deep. The supposed
locality Of the Mills was finally
The Red Cloud chief., 1897-04-09

reached. The range OF hills near which
the town stood was there. but the town
was, to all intents and purposes, wiped
out. Finally smoke was seen rising
from the snow, which, when APP
preached, was found to come from a
spliced chimney, far below which was
a house; as the snow had fallen the
occupants had spliced the chimney,
keeping pace with the deposit.
Moving around the chimney, the
strangers found q chute leading down
at an angle Of IS degrees and entering
slid down to what proved to be the at
tic window Of the house, thence max
ing their way down the stairs into the
buried residence. The entire settle
ment was buried under this terrible
bed Of snow and families were living
from ten to twenty feet below the sur
face, using lamps by day as well as
by night. The men were all miners,
and as the mines were under ground
certain work was continued. But there
was much suffering, as on coming out
of the mines some OF the men We're Of
ten unable to find their homes. Fin
ally every one planted in the snow
over his house a Flagstaff with a flag,
but ever these were sometimes buried
by the constant storms Of this long-to-
aforementioned year. The snow In the
deep canyons became SO deep that the
miners who lived In them had to leave,
fearing the a~valanches which came
rushing down the mountain side after
every fresh storm. Finally the more
open canyons became unsafe and one
day, with an appalling roar, huge
masses Of snow went rushing down,
crushing a large part of the town Of
Sierra City,
Possibly the most famous town for
its experiences with snow is Gibbons
vile, In Sierra county. Photographs
show the tops OF tall houses projecting
from snow on the level. Snow fifteen
feet on the level is common there in
February and March, while snow thirty
feet deep is uncommon. Then the
houses are almost covered, many small
ones being entirely concealed, the own
ers having to climb up and clear away
the snow so that 1t will not crush In
the roofs. All communication with the
outside world is often stopped for days,
and for weeks the mail is carried by
specially selected men. who traverse
the mountain on snowshoes, often ac-
complishing remarkable feats on the
long, slender skis which they use.

Growth of cities.

The fact that the big european cities
have been growing SO much faster than
those of the United States II pointed
out by DR.. Albert Shaw IN his recent
book on municipal government in Eu-
rope. In 1870 New York had 1904 900
more people than Berlin; in 1880 Ber-
lin had outstripped New York, and still
maintains It's lead. In 1875 Hamburg
had s4s,O 900 people and Boston 342, 900;
in 1890 Hamburg had 569, 26O and Bos-
ton AS, 900. Baltimore was once as big
az Hamburg, but 1t has long been dis
tanced. Breslau used to be smaller
than Cincinnati: 1t has now distanced

They are locally known as "gibbers"

gibbers are a geological feature to be

The MacDonnells are three parallel
ranges OF mountains running east and
west and separated by narrow valleys;
the most remarkable Of these, which
has been mapped by the explorer, has
been named "Horn Valley" The total
length Of this extraordinary valley 10
100 miles. and 1t Is only 400 yards in
width. II Is flanked on both sides by
rugged wall like ranges Of rock 700 to
800 feet In height. The only passes are
the narrow rocky gorges through
which the w~atercourses pass.
There are no permanent streams In
Central Australia. but In times Of trop.
zeal rains immense volumes Of water
rush down from the barren hills. The
Finke river Is the largest Of these water
running north and south, and has many
important tributaries. One Of the ex.
traordinary features Of this country Is
that the Finke river. taking It's rise
north of the MacDonnells and running
southwark, impinges on the first OF the
ranges, running east and west. One
would expect that the river, on strik-
ing this solid wall Of rock at a right
angle, would be detected from it's
course, and would flow along the foot
of the range, but not SO; the mountain
chain is rent asunder at this point, and
O deep and rocky gorge is formed, hav-
ing walls OF bare rock over 1000 feet In
height, between these river passes.
Some of these cliffs are 30 nearly ver-
tical that the sun hardly ever pene-
.trates into the gloomy depths OF the
gorges. The river then crosses the
Sandy valley, and a like phenomenon
occurs. The second mountain chain Il
rent asunder In the same manner. and
the river passes through to the third
PARALLEL range. which again is opened
for It's escape on the south side. The
Central Australian aborigine Is the liv.
ing representative OF a stone age, who
still fashions his spear heads and
knives from flint or sandstone. and
performs the most daring surgica
operations with them. His origin ant

Prince Of wales Kindness.

The prince of Wales Is ever the most

q few mornings a go. attending the
funeral services of a friend, I found his
royal highness among the little congre-
cation. It was az early as 10 o'clock In

lady who had died was not among his
most intimate friends, but q desire to
show kindness and consideration for
her sorrowing people drew him toward
them q this hour of their grief and
