A licautiful Theory poUrd. Ami apart of Jlistor Shorne of if. Mnglo and.Jlom'tntie Charms. How long the earth has stood none can say. How' many physical changes it has passed 'through, we have no means of knowing. How long the eaith has been spherical is past linding out. How many nges the surface of the globe has appeared, as it does move with its continents, islands, mountains, valleys and various bodies of water, we know not. . Whether the division of the earth irijthe daysof Peieg was politi cal or physical, and to whatextent the face of the globes was furrowed by the deluge must still remain in the held of conjecture, j Since geology has become a science, and men of learning have de voted their lime and energy to that field, the have collected a vast amount of knowledge and have classified fa ts and phenomena until tliey have con vinced us that we know "nothing yet, as we oughtito know." Thw we be lieve, that God created all things, true we do not believe that he created rock or ledges as we find them, and created bones or fo-ssils in them. The bones grew in some animal before t! ey lodged in thq rock. The very fact that bones are found in .rock formations, is conclusive that they existed in anima's before the rocks which contain them were formedi The general outer mo tion of the earth is now as it has been so long as man has known anything about it. N4al'a ark rested on Ararat, and all other! mountains stood forth as now; appearo.) then as they appear now, to the inhabitants all overtae earth; at last no account of any important change since hiau's history. Tlirf geo logical agencies, chemical, mechanical, electric, calorie, volcanic, atmospheric and aqueus have corroding teeth, which never rest 'anil are at work to-d iy what changes they do not effect bysiow processes they! effVct by violent convul sions. This coiitmaut was once under water; how long since, who can tell Fossil remains of aquatic animal life are found in the earth, in the valleys, on the hills and o:i the tops of the high- i est mountains, on the continent and at the'farthcrdfc 'distance from our seas and oceans. All believe, all know that it y& s on c s u m e rged a n d w as af tor war Js cmergpq DJ those agaies abve name 1, possibly, all energetically com mie v aini y, brought all on icu it was emerged it its surface along with it no dis83ntin,i Voice here, buent nx-' tnre has hero loudest voice. With tho f tipheavel mustj have come the moun-1 tuna and possibly the mounds, if not then, perhaps so;n after, whan the wws pliant, but they whole surface were r ot termed , at the same time. We said the mountains of tlw globe were not all formed at the same time, this is evident fro fa the trend of some mountain systems and the transverse position of others; then Again from the diversity in their siz. The geological agencies operated with different degrees of intensity when the mountains were produced, hence their size, height, length and outdr shape and at di Utr- ent periods, hence their transverse po bitions. Then there are other geologic al phenomena that - prove this theory equally conclusive. Thus we say that the geological agencies do not operate acccrdim; to uniform and invariable laws, but are sometimes intense and 1 sometimes mere feeble, but they may i operate unifornidy in any given perio.l, ' whether general, or local, and on such occasions the effects will be uniform, whether great j or small. Premising this. The mounds all over the conti nent being similar and 'of a general uniform size, we conclude that the pro ducing agencies! were general and uni form, as these agencies would not like ly rise to the Bame intensity of periods a great distaucej apart as to time. If the mounds producing agencies had been periodical the mounds in some parts of the United States would be much larger than in other parts, an. 1 of different shapes'as the mountains now are, but their general similarity and uniformity of size has been the main reason why they are said to be artifi cial. What is j your reason! Why their similarity j in form and uniformity in size! They were produced by a uni form and systematic appliance cf hu man energy. Well, this is just why we sav that they were produced in the same paiiod wh6n the agencies operated generally and uniformity in all parts where they are found and hence pro ducing similar I results, makinsr a!l mounds about t ie same size and alike in appearance, They were hot produ as the circumstances ced by deposit undr which depositions are made are neither uniforms nor general, but local and variable The mounds were iro- 1 ... j duced by milder agencies, than thos which producedl the mountains, or if the same they operated more mildly and uniform! w' Scientists say that if the earth were olid and One grain of powder could lie placed in its center and exploded, the expansive force or concussion woul split the earth wide open, if this force could not " otherwise escape. Perhaps earthquakes re pro duced by the expansive force of some accumulated combustion'. within seek ing an outlet There is in Chili a dis trict of country 4 which daily and almost hourly shake? with earthquake comma tions. If three or four hours elapse without a shake, it i3 followed by a very hard shake, so the inhabitants feel saf er when a constant trembling of the NO. 28. earth is experienced. Apart of this district was bored a number of years ago for water, many artesian borings were made and to great depth but no water was obtained; out of each boring however, came a strong current of gas, which wili sometimes burn a little with a lurid light and then die out. Since these borings were made that part of the district has ceased to shake or tremble, the gas in the other part must escape someway, or the country would bo terribly or torn at sometime. Here may lie the true cause of the mounds and this was in all probability the form of the agency that produced them. This was done when the earth ' was pliant, soft or under water, when the whole surface for some distance down was in a simitar ; condition. Often earthquakes ar under the sea and many islands have arisen suddenly to the oceans sirface. Some have re mained, others gradually sink again. The changes in the earths surface are usually made in the sea and under the sea. No history tells of the formation of any mountain on the dry land, since history began. So of the mounds. The mounds producing gases were gen crated above the principal bed rocks not very deep down and as they began to hunt an outlet,- the earth above them began to rise and the greatest force col lected at the most yielding point and that was light under the center of the mound which is the highest. Here it oozed out through the porosity of earth as is evident from the fact that the coal mounds above mentioned are not torn nor fractured. Why the mounds are on plains and level regions is simply because the agency being gases, and not being formed very , deep down and not being very powerful and volatile produced mounds otherwise it would have produced mountains. Now we understand why we Lave mountains, hills, mounds and plains or level re gions ot country. No geological agen cies have operated under level lands to rupture their outer surface, while un der other portions they have, and that in proportion to the lulls, mountains and mounds. Now my conclnsions. First the mounds are geological in their origin; second they were formed in the same period. Third they were formed when the earth was pliant under water and fourth that the agency was gaseous, uniform and general.

So I will hand it over to some onft else, who has more time and can do the subject more justice and I stop annoying you for the present. , - . v .-' P. A. Mcses S VGA K FIXE ITEMS.

The Oregonian said recently that the horse feature of our state fair should be made of interest to farmers and horse-breeders and not a vast gambling method of retorm would bo to do away with the pool-box. A correspondent comes to the defense cf the pool-box and charges the faults,5 which he ad mits, upon "mercenai v men .who offici ate in job races." From his letter (printed m full elsewhere) we quote: The pool seller is not bo much of aa auctioneer as a broker, j One man lr desirous of -betting on one horan and auother man desires . to wager his coin upon - different one. In front of the pool box these men meet on eqnal terms, and the pool seller de ducts his commission first, for finding the better on the winning horse a de sirable customer; and second, for tak ing care of it a3 a stakeholder. The writer could not hvvei argued better against his own side of his case. It is just this that we charge against the pool-box, that it promotes gambling by uctitig as a "broker"' for- gamblers. By facilitating their operations, making the game sim pie and easv for ' them, it makes the fair a resort of gamblers and this leads to jobbery in 'facing.' If the gamblers were away, there would be no trickery and no dishonesty, ,for there could be na object bui to win; and ey cry race would be for -blood. -There speed," now deplorably Jacking. . It is idle to say that to abolish the pool-box would be to abolish racing and so to seriously injure the fair. Prior to 1C9 when pool .'soiling was. introuueca in uregou our.iair was mora successful than it has been since; rac ing was every whit as interesting and as well patronized sport as it is now. To abolish the pool-box I would be to- discourage gambling, to cause gamb lers to stay away, and nothing could be better for the fair than -this. : Every miserable scrub of them -who attends keeps twenty decent people away. There are many fathers and mothers, .linrl 4- 1 x .1 jl Arv f 1 n auu iucj iuiiu iuc uoti cicuicav in uui population who will not; expose their children to the brutalities, vulgarities and immoralities of the stale fair as it is now carried on; who stay at home because they will not put themselves in contact with low phases of life. We do not believe that the fair would suf fer by the abolition of : the -' pod-box and by the absence of gamblers. We believe on the other hand that it would profit thereby, v A fair whose moral tone and moral effects aro bad is worse than no fair at all. The state would be better off without it. Let it die as it deserves to die.' We cannot afford to debauch thew youth of the country, to make it par take of vile things, even for the bene fits resulting from an annual exhibit of stock and products and an annual ex change of idt-as on the part of farmers of the state. We believe we speak the best sentiment of the people of Oregon in saying, reform the fair br let it die. Editor Review.
