, A Verified Story.

A group of railroad men in New Or
leans were talking about the fastest
rides they ever experienced, says the
Times-Democrat. One man in relating
his experiences said: ACROSS bayous
and through marshes we rushed like
mad. When we reached the Rigolets,
the most remarkable thing l eve saw
took place. The train was travelling so
fast it sucked the water up behind it
as it rushed across the t~restle, and |
could hear the fishes groan as we flew
over this neck of the gulf. Most re-
markable thing l ever saw in the way
Of fast runs" And he lapsed into 81
lence.
Il am glad you reminded me Of that
rum" said another member of the
group IL had forgotten the incident.
l car vouch for all you say, for | was
on the back end of the last coach, and
the water which was sucked in behind
the train by the almost wash

right, and when we made the crossing
and the waters had receded | picked
up on the platform of the rear coach
the finest bunch of fish l ever saw.
They were no doubt the fish you heard

ZIGZAG VALLEYS,
The Processes Of Nature by Which
They Are Formed.

Volcanic action has in most cases pri.
marily determined the contiguration Of
the crust of the earth, but the chief
agents in the formation of tortuous val
leys have been streams flowing above
ground or below the surface. These
naturally take the course of least re-
sistance. dislodging the softest soil, and
thus gradually enlarge their channels
and are tlanked by rising ground.
1t has been ascertained by a well
known expert that the %serpentine course
of the valley of the Cheddar gorge is
caused by the jointing in the limestone.
The rock, he tells us. is traversed by
two systems of joints, which appear to
be vertical or nearly so, intersecting ap-
proXimately at a right angle. The joint
surfaces form salient and re-entront an
giles, the former opposite to the latter.
SO that if the two sides of the glen were
brought together they would seem to
interlock. Water above or below the
surface would soak along these open
joints and widen them into assures, ano
this movement. sometimes 10 the right
and sometimes to the left, would follow
zigZag lines, so that the natural course
of the current would by its continuous
action %eXcavate a valley of this unusual
character.-London Answers,
