Mystery of the Grand Canyon

Il IOIn 14tSllt
How do you explain it?' inquired one
on meeting Sir John Murray, the emil
nent English geologist and president of
the Royal Geographical society. This
was briefly, the answer, though not in his
words
ION either side of the wide plain, ex-
tending from 60 to 100 miles to the right
and left of the canyon, evidences of Sc
we're volcanic action are visible. In the
center was a plateau, but you now look
down upon it as the vast chasm of the
canyon. Thrice the volcanic forces of ma
ture, operating on either side, violently
and with tremendous power. forced this
plateau upward until finally in one cy-
clopic tremendous upheaval the plateau
parted and the Grand Canyon, the Won
der and mystery of the world, was born.
Imagine a loaf of dough rising silently
under the continuous pressure of the
yeast, until finally the crust is broken and
the loaf divided in two. Then look at this
broken crust of mother earth. In the
early days a vast area embracing a great
portion of the interior of the American
continent was covered with water. 1t was
a great sea. All over the canyon fossil
shells proved this contention. The Grand
Canyon opened, the waters of the inland
sea rushed through in a tearing flood and
carved the fantastic forms you now see."
The questioner further inquired of Sir
John;
mo doubht this was all very remote,
in the early ages of the world?'
"Oh no." said Sir John. Modern, quite
modern-not more than 20.000,000 or 10000,
900 years ago."

The balloon covered a distance of about
% miles in it's uncontrolled flight. 1t was
without motor or rudder and Gay, a
novice, was not able to release the gas.
The balloon had been swept from the

Even this cut no figure and did not stop

SOME FISH ABLE TO
SURVIVE ON LAND
Nature Does Not Always Draw Hard
and Fast Line Between Animal
and Aquatic Life

From long habit we have been aceus-
toned to think of fishes as living ex-
clusively in water; or being incapable.
in fact, of supporting existence under
any other conditions says Tit-Bits, Ma
ture, however. does not always draw a
hard and fast line between aquatic ami
NAL life and that which belongs to the
land. From the accounts of naturalists
whose names are sufficient guarantee for
their veracit1, there exist fish which walk
ON dry land, and others which traverse
in like manner the floor of the ocean.
For instance. DR. Francis Day of IN
dia, discovered several cases of the mi
grafton by land of fishes from one pieces
of water to another whilst Layard once
encountered some piscine specimens evil
IDENTIFY belonging TO the perch family
traversns a hot, sandy road at noon on
a sultry day. Humboldt was once as
founded to behold a species of dorus pro-
crossing over the dry ground by sue
cession of leaps supported by its pee
toral fms, and he also heard of another
specimen that had climbed a hillock 20
feet high.
In a certain part of India a party of
English officers were encamped when
rustling sound in the grass and leaves
attracted their attention. They found.
on Investigation that the noise was
caused by countless numbers of little fish
that were moving slowly over the groun1
and making steadily in one direction.
Their method of locomotion consisted in
using their sides and small fins as feet,
and their progress was anything but
smooth. Constantly they were falling from
their upright position. squirmng on their
sides, rolling over. and finally strug
Cling en- to their feet again and RESUME
ing their arduors march.
The fish these officers saw are we'll
known as the famous climbing perch,
which have long taken prominent rank
among the curiosities of nature, and
they We're being compelled by drouth
to traverse a tract of dry land In order
to regain their native element. Con-
stantly the streams they inhabit be-
come dried up ius the heat of the sum-
mer season, and when this happens
these extraordinary piscne freaks climb
up the banks, and. guided by some
wonderful dispensation of Providence,
make direct bee-line across country
to some river th2t still contains a
modicum of water.
1t is well over a 100 years ago that
this wonderful fish was first brought
before the notice of naturalists A
specimen was then captured nearly at
the top of a lofty palm tree having
probably ascended the trunk in order to
obtain any moisture that might have
collected in the hollow of the leaves
This at first was regarded as travel
ler's tale, but when M. Daldorf found
one of these perch actually engaged in
ascending a tree, it was amply suf-
ficient to place the climbing perch in
the lengthy category of natures oddi-
ties.

BARRED FROM JAIL OFFICE

o. Lane, commissioner of public justice,
to instruct you all not to allow anybody
behind the railing surrounding the desk
that IS not in the employ of the city,
unless having business with you.
THE complaint has gone to Judge Lane
that certain parties make your office their
headquarters to go on peoples bonds,
who are unfortunate enough to be ar
rested.
THE judge says this must stop, that
he will not stand for any professional
bondsmen.
II will expect you to carry this order
out to the letter Any failure on your
part will be sufficient cause to be sus-
pended and ordered tS report to the judge.
