The nineteenth- century will not end tilt midnight Monday, Dec. 31, 19u0 although tbe old quanel will probably again be renewed as to what const! tutes a century when it winds up, and tbnaaands will inlst on a premature . burial of the old century at midnight on Dec. 31. 19. Oregon can come up with the best of them when it comes to hot wheater, tbe thermometer registering ittt in tbe shade. Everybody was hunting for a nol place with a handkerchief drip ping with perapiratiou. Monday was abont ten degrees warmer than any other day preeediog It this summer. Tbe warm weatber must have some effect on tbe people who attend Sunday school at the ChriMian church, be cause tbe attendance was very much smaller than usual last Sunday. Our people should arouse themselves, come out to Bunday school and help make it interesting and profitable to all. During the summer school session. this city has been visited quite fre quently by the male persuasion, espe cially Mr. D - of our neighboring city who finds something very attractive lie re, possibly Miss B is the mag net. Hummer school ends this week, and we are very sorry that the scbool ma'tns will leave us. Tbe crowd gathered early for tbe ice cream social which was held on Mr. Ira Butlers lawn last Saturday even log. Most everyone participated in the many games which were being played, while others kept the ladles busily engaged In dishing out ice cream till it was ail gone. We suppose tbe ladies thought on account of the hard times there wouldn't be a very large attendance and did not make a very large supply, but such was not the case, and in consequence not a few returned to their homes minus any ice cream. Tbe ladies, no doubt, will next time prepare for a large crowd. Everyone enjoyed themselves im mensely, and only wished that there bad been mora ice cream. Mr. Wm. Byala, of Welladale, was visiting bis daughter, Mrs. Viva Blacks, tbe first of tbe week. Elder 3. N. Bmith departed fur En- gene this week and will assist the min ister at tbe Christian church there in conducting a revival meeting. Mrs. Harah Helmick, of Albany, ac companied by ber cousin, Mrs.' F. B. Iolow, of Jackson county, was visiting last week with her sons Louis and James Helmick, on tbe Luckiamute. During tbe dog day season, tbe drain of nervous and vital energy may be counteracted by tbe use of Ayer's Barsa- parilla. In purifying tbe blood, it acts as a superb corrective and too ic, and en ables tbe system to defy malarial and other climatic influence. Mb May Woodbury, of Portland, and of tbe Normal class of 'HS at this city, is spending a few days with her many friends and schoolmates here. Miss Woodbury baa been teaching three years at tbe same school in Portland and is meeting with excellent success, having received several promotions Tbe artesian well discovered by J. W. Han vi lie near Wbiteson, some time ago, continues to flow, and it is a great success. He began the well by digging it three feet across. After going down twenty-one reet be changed to an auger, and bored twenty feet farther, and inserted a pipe on a level with the topi of the well. Tbe clearest kind of water rolls continuously out of the pipe, and the bottom of the dug part of tbe well is clearly visible through tbe water. Ex. WEST SIDE is the Tbe railroad hands here worked all Saturday night and ail day Sunday widening the track for tbe standard gauge trains, and ou Bunday evening tbe first train, consisting of engine and tender, a freight car, baggage and mail ear, and a passenger coach, passed up tbe line to Airlie, to make their reg ular trip down tbe road Monday morn ing. We suppose our people will all be going to Portland now or to some other place down tbe line, so as to have an excuse for riding on our standard gauge trains. ' Last Friday evening tbe students and teachers of the summer normal gave another of their very entertaining programmes, Tbe features of especial interest ware President Campbell's ad dress on current events, a solo by Mrs. Splllman, recitation by Miss Marsh, duett by Misses Coleman and Ballln- ger, a dialogue by Misses Dewitt and Thomas, a solo by Mrs. TiOany, and an address by Professor Spillman on tba trip of bimself and party to Mount Hood last summer, which made most everyone enthusiastically begin to plan an excursion to that place. Such a trip, no doubt, would be profit able to most anyone.

The Cosmopolitan is one of tbe most per fect productions of its kind published on either side of tbe Atlantic; says the Irish TiTjen, of Dublin. Extending over 12 pages of beautifully printed snd illustrated matter, everv siugle item of which will be perused and stud ied with interest, the magazine must be regarded as perfectly uniiu, aud one wonders how so magnificent a work can be produced at a cost of twenty five cents, or a shilling.

Great Eteratfaaa Sink Into tbe Earth as leebera Sin Into Water. It is well known that mountains attract the plumb line, and thus ren der latitudes determined by its means or by a spirit or mercurial level inac curate in their vicinity. During the trigonometrical survey of India the amount of this error was carefully determined in several localities near mountains, but a discrepancy ap peared. When the mass of the Him alayas was estimated and its attrac tion calculated, it was found to be more thai! the observed attraction. The same thing had occurred in the original experiment by Maskeljne at SchehaDion. in Scotland, and a simi lar deficiency in the error produced was noticed by Petit in the case of the Pyrenees. Many attempts were made to ex plain the discrepancy, but that which was advanced by the late Sir G. B. Airy seems best to account for all the phenomena and is that adopted by Mr. Fisher. It is that every moun tain mass on a continent has a much larger mass projecting beneath the crust into the liquid substratum, ex actly as an iceberg has a larger mass under the water than above it. Sir G. B. Airy argued that whether the crust were 10 miles or 100 miles thick it could not bear the weight of such a mass as the Himalayan and Thibetan plateaus without breaking from bottom to top and receiving support by partially sinking into the liquid mass. The best experiments show that the proportionate densities of most rocks in a solid and a liquid 6tate are approximately as ice is to water, and thus no mountain masses can be formed, whether by lateral pressure or other agency, without a corre sponding protuberance forming be low to keep the crust in equilibrium. It is this displacement of the denser substratum by the less dense "roots of the mountains" that leads to the total attraction of suoh mountains being less than it otherwise would be.
