Burning Mountain In Australia.

At Wingen also Is to be seen the only
burning mountain to be found in Austria
liza. and the only one not of volcanic
origin known. The summit is 1870 feet
above the sea level. and is easily reached
from the township. 1t is supposed 90 be
an immense coal seam, which has in
some unaccountable way become ignited,
and has been burning ever since. When
first discovered. during the early days of
settlement, the aboriginals of the district
explained. in their own rude fashion, that
the mountain had been burning in the
days of their forefathers: that, as far
back as they could remember there had
always been the big smoke. The course
of the fire can be traced a considerable
distance by the transverse rents or
chasms occassioned by the falling in OF
the ground from under which the coal
has been consumed. From years end TO
years end fumes OF smoke are continually
issuing from the sides of the mountain,
the surface of which is in many places
covered with a sulphurous deposit. In the
vicinity of the openings from which the
blush rings of smoke issue the ground
is hot to the touch, the vegetation with
which II was originally covered having
disappeared and sticks thrust into the
ground speedily become charred, IL not
ignted.

stepped down from the cab, yielding

motioned him to be seated.

The English Climate.

OF all known climates the English
is, says John Corbin in the May At
lantic, at once the worst and the best
From years end to years end the
whole island and the heavens above
are stepped in the soft damp Of the
four surrounding seas. A long and
drenching rain is almost unknown; If
a man can forego the vanity of being
quite dry, and is not above an &C.
casional retreat into a cab, an UNI
brella or a rain coat is scarcely neces-
sary. Yet the sky is never crystal
clear, as it so often is with us; the
sun seldom dazZles, the stars never
flicker and blaze. Month in and
month out the landscape is blurred in
all-prevailing damp thin, almost i'm
perceptible in summer, yet changing
the verdue to an olive green: azure
and opalescent in spring, purple in
autumn, golden gray or lurid dun color
in winter. And frost and snow are
as rare as the heat of pure sunlight.
The defects of this climate are at one
with the virtues in that they drive
men into the open; indeed, it would
not be easy to say what are defects
and what virtues. The temperance
of the summer heat makes out of
doors a paradise. In winter one is
chilled to the hone in English houses,
not only American residents, but
the natives themselves, if they stay
long indoors. The coal consumed
seems enough to heat the entire island
to incandescence; yet such is the eff.
ficiency of the open fireplace of the
country that the man who crouches
before it goes blue in the lips and
white to the roots of his nose, while
the particles of half-consumed car
bon gather minute globules of mist
above the chimneys. shroud the city
in black natural fog. and the citizens
in fog of the spirit.

sRATTLEsoRo MARKET REPORT.
Advance In Feed-Poor Prospect for
Cucumber Crop on Account of Rains
New Potatoes in the Market.

There has been an increase the past
week in the price of several kinds of
feed especially middlings, oats and meal.
There is a prospect of short crop Of
wheat this year. The cheaper quality
of beef has fallen OFF slightly, but the
best beef remains firm, in fact there has
been a slight advance to dealers recently
but not enough to change the retail
price. AS TO the cucumber crop western
prospects are poor, owing to heavy and
continuous rains, which have flooded the
lowlands. The outlook is worse than last
year. In Brattleboro the reports indicate
that large percentage of the cucumber
seed sown have rotted. New potatoes
are in the market at 45 cents a peck
Georgia peaches appeared this week at
30 to 40 cents a dozen. Currants are in
the market at II cents a quart and run
ming blackberries at IA cents.

Prof. Henry a. Ward of Chicago, who
has just returned from a visit to Mexico,
announces the discovery there of the
largest meteorite on record. This gigan-
tic messenger from the skies. which is so
big says Prof. Ward, that it would cost
$50 900 TO bring it to the sea coast weighs
about fifty tons.
The announcement of this discovery
has been made by Prof Ward to the
Academy of Science at Rochester. where
Prof. Ward was formerly resident His
account before the academy was the first
presentation of his discovery to the sci
entific world 1t was the intention of
Prof Ward to prepare a paper fully de-
scribing and setting forth this import
ant topic for the society, but as it was
not ready he gave instead an informal ac-
count.
Prof. Ward when introduced stated
that he had just returned from a visit to
the West Indies, South America, and
Mexico, and that while in Mexico he
found what he went after-a giant me-
teorite
