down on the East Side and in the other crowded
parts of the city than 1t is UP here on Riverside.

When asked whether her society was having
trouble in suppressing unnecessary whistling by
steamers the river, Mrs. Rice said that there
had been a marked improvement. but that there
was still a great deal OF unnecessary noise from
that source. She said:

city hospitals. The superintendent OF the Man
haitian State Insane Asylum, where there are 400
insane patients, told the other day that the
insane suffered untold misery from noise on the
river, and that the so-called insurrection

INTERESTING PLACES.

About twelve miles from Camp Verde
there is n strange depression In the
earth. which has been named "Monte-
yuma y Well" The base is 500 or 600
feet across, and nearly circular. The
inside walls 20 down pretty stecply for
forty feet, and there is a sloping mass
Of broken stone, such as ono sees at
the foot Of many cliffs. This, in turn,
dips into a pool Of water, which Mt its
center, is said to be extremely deep. A
writer for Science declares that the
bowl was formed by the falling in Of
the roof Of a cavern previously exca-
waited in the limestone by water.
The Coon Butte crater Of Arizona is
IA similar hollow, but IL differs from
the one just mentioned In having
ridge around II. Besides there IL no
water In the hollow now, though there
may have been in the past. biologists
have been puzzled to account for 1t,
because there are .few indications OF
volcanic action in the vicinity, and the
resemblance to an enormous orator In
a low elevation may prove deceptive.
Another theory, sdvancsdtby Prof. g.
X Gilbert Of Warrington IL that the
earth was hit by colloSal mstsorite,
which was completely buried, but
which raised a ridge around tho hole

sustain it, except the discovery OF some
small fragments Of meteor within
few miles OF the spot. Tho man who
brought the subject up in Science, sug-
ge"ts that perhaps the so-called crater
was not produced by a volcanic out
burst, or blow from some celestial
body, but the same undermining action
which accounts for MontexumA's Well.

not visited Coon Butte, and does not
know whether the rocks are Of the
