Marshal Wheeler is the author
or the news and startling theory
or science tha earth has a thiiil
motion. His theory, which s
bornt out by all the truces on the
surfaco of thaeartli" - and the won
der is that it lias never been ad
vanced anil adopted before is
that at ccrtnin regular periods the
earth revcrces its position, so that
tho equator becomes tho poles and
tho polos becomes the equator. At
each of tlieso turns tho water is
thrown over the earth, and tho na
tions and continents disnppeur in
the great oceans, with only ft fow
exceptions in certain parts of the
earth, while new continents nnd
new nations rUo, in the march of
ages, whore tho oceans of former
periods rolled. Tho last turn
brought tho continents that now
exist out of tlio grent waters, and,
at the next turn, where we now
live and where the great American
republic flourishes, the oceans will
again roll; the great ico fields of
tiie poles will bo thawed out and
run down over the laud under the
toirid zone, nnd the present trop
ics will become solid ice in their
new position at the poles, thus ac
counting for the vast quantities of
the remains of tropical animals
and plants found frozen up in
Alaska and Siberia, and the traces
of ice glaciers in the torrid zone.
He maintains that the e.ntli is nut
a temporary body, hut a pennr.
nent part of the universe that has
always existed and never will end,
and lias been washed over and cre
ated anew at regular periods
throughout counties millions of
years, man and all its other pro
ductions having been swept olf,
leaving only hero nnd there enough
for seed, and their locatios chang
ed at each turn, and that this pro
cess willl go on forever n now
earth washed clean and a new deal
at regular periods throughout eter
nity. He is collecting a vast nr
ray of facts, gathered from all
climes, to piove this theory, which
he thinks is already established by
well-known facts "that cannot bo
exylaiiied in any other way. Kx

The constitution convention of
North Dakota has suggested two
novel experiments. One of these is
that the state shall dispose of none
of its school lauds, and that the
tens of thousands of acres of this
property shall be leased only. With
its vast area lilling'with progressive
settlers and property rapidly in
creasing in value, this means that
in time the income derived from
this source will be sullieiont to pay
the state's expenses, practically
making it unnecessary to levy any
tax whatever. The other novel sug
gestion is to require railroads to
furnish members of the legislature
with transportation at the rate of
one cent per mile and charge the
same to the state. Thus it is ho
ped to do away with the charge
that railroad companies buvup leg
islatures. There would lie a tre
mendous strife for legislative honors
in Oregon, if the same system pro
vailed liere.

A traveler, riding horseback

"Whose tnunk is ill"

"Yours I"
"That's what I said."
"Then why nre you trying to
break it open! Have you lost the
key!"
"Xo."
"Why don't vou unlock it,
then?"'
"Hecnuse I want to rob it."
"You're a fool."
"Ueekon you've hit it."
"1 don't undeiMtand why a man
should rob his own trunk."
"I do. A feller come along
here this morning and gave me a
quart of Mexican licker. I took
throe mild snorts and then slipped
into the house nnd got tho trunk.
There ain't nothing in it but a
hair lariat and n pair of eottonade
britches, but I'm going to tteal
them and run away." Ho turned
about and Btruck the trunk a tor
rilllc blow.
"Say, hnvc you got any more of
that licker! 1 mod a dunk."
"Tho bottle's by that tree."
Tho traveler dismounted and
took several drinks. "Why thiB
is as pleasant and as rainwater,"
said he.
"Help yourself."
"Thank" you."
He took several more drinks
and then rodo away. He had not
rode far when he turned into the
woods and tied his horse. Then
he went olf a short diatance, lay
down behind a log and began to
gaze at his horse. Pretty soon he
got up stealthily, crept tin to the
horse, searched" the saddle bags,
mounted the animal and dashed
away, looking hack occasionally to
see if he was pursued by a vigi
lance committee.
