Clapp & Co'b. weekly market letter of March 29th has the following: Reports from exporting countries . eeem to indicate they have about twenty millions more than importing ooun tries require, and have furnished about two hundred million bushels of wheat to date since the beginning of the crop year, which date varies from July to September 1 in different countries The world's visible is, now about two hundred and twenty million bushels; the foreign visible is about fifteen mil lions more than a year ago, while ours is alviut six millions less and the amount afloat is two millions larger. About four-tilths of the wheat afloat is headed for Great Britian. India has apparently held buck her supplies, having exported only about twenty-two million bushels against last season's estimates for a sur plus equaling about fifty million. Madame Rumor says their crop pros pects are f ally six per cent better than a year ago ; evidently their reserves are more or less in a condition similar to ours one or two years ago. Russia is now given credit for an export surplus equaling one hundred and five millions instead of eighty or eighty-five six months ago. Her output of the crop of 1893 of both wheat and rye as well as at of Germany is in excess of fall es timates. France has been only a mod 'erate importer, partially owing to the ex tra duty placed upon foreign wheats. Their rye and wheat prospects are gen erally reported as good. Some com gplaims come from Hungary. Holland -and Belgium report fine prospects for the 1894 crop. Roumania reports con Hi nue good. The Argentine crop ' re iporta have Eurprised the world. South - .America has loomed up as an exporter tjf wheat iu the past few years against a record for having imported moderately ' in the eighties. Great Britain is the .largest consumer-and buyer from wheat countries, taking yearly nearly forty or Sffortytive per cent of the surplus of ex .jMiWiiig countries'. As usual, they are Teporting fair or good prespects for growing crops at home, with ample eup fittes cither in their granary, afloat or in the visible of nations who contribute to reported supplies. The United States wheat acreage may be the smallest in 20 years. Crop prospects have been re ported good until the recent cold weath er, which surprises many in the trade, as iu the spring of 1891, when prices ad vanced from 90 cents in March to $1.16 April 2L following. The depression has been long and severe on growers, specu lators and. investors, and it is barely pos sible culminated when prices the world over reached practically thejloweat point ou record, March 19, 1894. The Courier Journal suggests that it might be a good idea, while thesa iieii!eatiiig reports of the Pollard-Breck-inri.iue ease are being published, for the be.nl of the house to carefully edit his tiewHpaper with a pair of shears. He can then allow the expurgated edition to U into Ins family and take the clippings away ith bin?' to his office. ' It is perfectly proper for the Baker coumv delegation to favor the free and unlimited coinage of Bilver; they are a silver producing community, and the law would enrich them. It would also be iwrieotly proper for the Wasco county delegation tooppose free coinage; it would impoverish them. If the Sher man c tinty delegation is populist, as has otic been claimed, it would be per fectly 1. roper for them to advocate fiat money ; t hey cannot or will not earn it simI iiiev want it given to them. It is proper for all sections to advocate What will fist benefit them.

Wallace states in the Fortnifjhtly Review that an immense area of the northeastern states extend ing' south to New York and then west ward in an irregular line to Cincinnati and St. Louis is almost wholly covered with a deposit of drift material, in which rocks of various sizes are im bedded, while other rocks, often of enormous size, lie upon the surface, These blocks have been carefully stud ied by the American geologists, and they present us with some very interesting- facts. Not only are the dis tances from which they have been transported very great, but in very many cases they are found at greater elevation than the place from which they must have come. Prof. G. F. Wright found ah enormous accumula tion of bowlders on a sandstone pla- teau in Monroe county, Ta. Many of these bowlders were granite, and must have come either from " the Adirondack mountains, two hundred miles north, or from the Canadian highlands, still further away. This accumulation of bowlders was seventy or eighty feet high, and it extended many miles, descending into a deep valley one thousand feet below the plateau in a nearly continuous line, forming part of the southern moraine of the great American ice sheet. On the Kentucky hills, about twelve miles south of Cincinnati, conglomerate bowlders containing pebbles of red jasper can be traced to a limited out crop of the same rock in Canada to the north of Lake Huron, more than six hundred miles distant, and similar bowlders have been found at intervals over the whole intervening country. In both these cases the blocks must have passed over intervening valleys and hills, the latter as high or nearly as high as the source whence the rocks were derived. Even more remarkable are numerous bowlders of Helderberg limestone on the summit of the Blue Ridge in Pennsylvania, which, must have been brought from ledges at least five hundred feet lower than the places upon which they now lie. The Blue Ridge itself shows remarkable signs of glacial abrasion in a- well-defined shoulder marking the southern limit of the ice (as indicated also by heaps of drift and erratics), so that Mr. Wright "concludes that several hun dred feet of the ridge have been worn away by the ice. ' The crowning exam ple of bowlder transportation is, how ever, afforded by the blocks of light gray gneiss discovered by Prof. Hitch cock on the summit of Mount Washing ton, over six thousand feet above sea level, and identified with Bethlehem gneiss, whose nearest crop is in Jeffer son, several miles to the northwest, and three thousand of four thousand feet lower than Mount Washington. BAROMETER OF THE SENATE. If the Press Gallery la Crowded Be Sure Something: Interesting Is on Foot. The movements of the press gallery overlooking the senate chamber at Washington are doubtless the safest barometer of the importance of the do ings on the floor below, says the Post. If the gallery seats are well taken up something i3 surely transpiring in the chamber that is worth watching. If they are empty the proceedings are apt to possess no interest. The public may be mistaken and the visitors' galleries may be overflowing, but the curiosity seekers do not possess the delicate in stinct of foretelling impending crises, and if the press gallery be empty, though expectancy be written on every face that peers down from the crowded balconies, no gladiatorial feats of com peting oratory need be looked for, and disappointment will overtake him who disregards the signs. This was well illustrated the other day. When Mr. Gorman arose to reply to Senator Sher man not more than two or three heads appeared above the row of seats in the press gallery. Once or twice Mr. Gor man's eye wandered carelessly in that direction and encountered a tier of, vacant seats, but he had not got far into his subject before head after head appeared over the row of desks, and, as if by some subtle magic, forty or fifty men were in their scats following the debate with, close attention and mentally registering their comments on the proceedings. Each man had come from a different direction and from every conceivable corner of the vast block of corridors and committee rooms. No one had told them what was on. It was the indefinable instinct of impending news developments. . Cut Off from the World- -There is a little group of islands in the Pacific ocean, half-way between Hawaii and Samoa. One of ' them is called Fanning island, and it is the property of an American family named Greig, who work it for guano. It is a coral islet, with a fine lagoon, which has been entered by American and British warships. The proposed cable across the Pacific ocean, from Austral asia to British North America, will, it is expected, cross the island. The Greigs lead an ideal life, apart from all others of their kind, save a hun dred natives, who do their work. Once only in six months do they hear from the world, and then a little sailing ves sel comes to them, laden with mail, books, newspapers and provisions. It is always summer on the island al ways so warm that one can swing in a hammock all night with little cover ing save the clear sky. Photos $1 per dozen at gallery over postotfice. . " C. W. G1LHOU8EX. SNAKES IN HIS BED. Magician Kellar's Very TJnpleas- ant Adventure in India. He Thinks It Was the Clever Trick of a Fakir. But' Cannot Tell How It Wa ' Bone At Any Kate the Fellow Got Money for Killing- the Reptile. "I had been in India a . number of times and had visited all the principal cities," says Magician Kellar, "whet: m 1883 I found myself m the prettv city of Lucknow. I had been in the city long enough to have acquired the ennui of the people and was falling easily into their listless, luxurious wa3Ts, when one morning this adven ture befell me and caused me to all at once lose all that sense of serene and peaceful quiet that I had before pos sessed. In India in the summer season it is too hot to sleep upon mattresses or under much bed clothing. -In my room in the neat little bungalow where 1 was stopping I had a bamboo couch, without a mattress, and my only cov ering was a linen sheet. I had rested there in comfort for many nights, and was just about to arise one morning when a Hindoo fakir entered the door. He was a tall, lank, solemn-visaged in dividual, and salaamed profoundly as he entered. I sat up on the edge of my cot to get a good look at him and asked what he wanted. He looked at me an instant and then slowly drew from his breech cloth a small reed pipe. " 'Heap big snake in sahib's bed,' he ejaculated in' the same calm, unruffled manner. . " 'Snakes in my bed!' I yelled, as I bounded to the floor with visions of writhing, hissing cobras in my mind. 'Snake! Where? " 'In sahib's bed heap snake,' the rogue replied, as he slowly released a small earthenware pot or jar from his girdle. Then he placed the reed pipe to his lips and proceeded to extract from it the most painful music I ever listened to. Serpents galore' would have been welcome if that music could have beeujtanished, I thought, but as I watched the bed my sentiments underwent a rapid change. "In the middle of the couch, under neath the sheet, I saw something mov ing. The sheet became elevated in a conical form and there was a hissing and spitting underneath it that made my blood fun cold. Then there emerged from the edge of the covering the slimy, horrible head of a monster cobra that wasn't an inch less than eight feet long, and slowly slid from the bed and coiled himself upon the floor. I stood looking at him with my eyes bulging with terror. "The doleful, seductive, plaintive Strain of the pipe continued and the head of the. monster slowly arose to a level with the cot. His hood began to swell and he showed every sign of in tense anger. The weird music grew faster .and faster-and the oscillating motion of the serpent's head kept time to it. The little pipe shrieked and the fakir was perspiring from every pore. His eyes were bulgfng.' from his head and his foot was keeping double time to his piping. Shriller and more pene trating grew the notes, until of a sud den they became again plaintive and sad; the time was slower, the tune sweet and harmonious. The motions of the monster's head were slower and slower, and then the fakir's hand stole quickly to his side. A sword leaped out, there was a flash, a glint of steel, and the cobra's head rolled upon the floor, while the dismembered body thrashed itself about the apartment. I staggered to the door, almost over come by nervous' strain, and the ordeal was over. The muttered -backsheesh of the fakir was generously responded to, you may be sure, and he left my bungalow, leaving only the severed head and body of the cobra as remind ers of the scene through which I had passed. - ' How was it done? I don't know. I never knew whether that scoundrel brought the snake in with him or not. but while he was playing I saw him crowding another cobra, as big as the first, into that little earthen pot which ne carried at his girdle." The Norse Hereafter. The old Norse-idea of the hereafter planned for evil doers is almost the di rect opposite of the orthodox hades. The place of torment for the reprobate sons of the north is called Nastrond, and is situated far toward the frigid north and is directly under Nifiheim, the Scandinavian mythologists' purga tory. A describtiou of Nastrond as it apppears in the "Prosa Eda" (writ ten in Iceland in the thirteenth cen tury) is as follows: "In Nastrond there is a vast and direful structure with doors that face the north. This build ing is formed entirely of the backs and scales of serpents, wattled together like wicker work. But the beads of the serpents themselves are turned toward the inside of the hall, and they continually vomit forth floods of venom, in which must wade throughout eternity all those- who commit murder or swear to lies.!' Another description of Nastrond is similar to this, but adds that the evil-doers are -occasionally bitten b y the great dragon Nidhogg. The Wake Woke Him to Life. The particulars of an extraordinary case of trance, which was mistaken for death, are published by the Irish Times. Last week a young man, aged twenty two, named Garrigan, living at Balli nacree, near Oldcastle. was believed to have died. He had been ailing for some time, and all the appearances of death were shown, so that no doubt of his decease was entertained. The usual wake preparatory to burial was begun, and a number of neighbors had arrived at the house to share the night watches. Suddenly signs of animation were Ob served in the apparently lifeless body. Five minutes later it 'was clear that the young man had been in a trance and was on the way to recovering his senses. The occurrence created a great sensation. Many of those present fled from the house and would not return. All were deeply moved and the scene for some time was one of intense excitement.
