Another Deiujro Coming
A Belgian professor has publish
ed a work entitled "Periodicite des
Grands Deludes Resultant du
Mouvement Graduel de la Linge
des Apsides de la Terre," in which
he warns us that we may he on the
lookout for another deluge of the
world. At certain regularly re
curring intervals, he maintains, the
waters of one hemisphere are sud
denly precipitated across the
equator, and flood the other. The
last of these deludes, which always
flow from north to south, or from
south to north, was that of Noah's
time, which was from the norh.
Hence the explanation of the
great preponderance of water in
the southern hemisphere, and of
the general southern trend of
"rkTfli in1 Slnnln Amnrmo A rrmo
and many minor peninsulas. The
next of these deluges will flow
from the south to the north. The
cause, he argues, is the alternate
increase and decrease in the ice
caps at the poles, and the conse
quent change of the earth's equi
librium. Since 134:8 the south pole
has been continually enlarging,
while the north pole has been pro
portionately diminishing, to-day
the diameter of the southern gla
cier beinjr about 3000 miles and
that of the northern 1500 miles.
"When these two glaciers shall have
arrived at their maximum and
minimum extension, the earth will
then tilt over and be submerged
by another great flood, the fif
teenth of the kind that has oc
curred. In view of this impend
ing and somewhat serious prob
ability, the question arises, what
are we going to do about it? Jf
no one can offer a better sugges
tion, would it not be advisable
that each of us resolve himself into
his own ark br wearing night and
day one of Paul Boyn ton's swim
ing costumes?
Railroail News.
Walla Walla Watchman, June 6th.
There is nothing under the sun
in this country that takes so well
as railroad news, and the best of
it is, one can have it in all shapes.
The Utah Northern, under the
great railroad magnate Jay Gould,
is pushing its way on to the Co
lumbia, and once there, they will
stop for nothing. Already we
learn that the Oregon Steam
Navigation company is negotiating
with the Utah Northern company,
and has fixed its figures to sell out,
but will that help us any? "We
must have more than one outlet to
be safe from oppression, hence
we hope that the Northern Pacific
railroad will hasten and not tarry
by the wayside. The contempla
ted branch road to Weston to con
nect with the valley road has been
swallowed up by the Utah North
ern. We also learn that that
eompan' will forthwith build a
road from here to Dayton; in fact,
one can hear almost anything
every day, but we don't expect a
railroad this year. Of course the'
will be builtwith unfailing certain
ty, but as long as they ignore the
route toward the hih sea, so long
do we see a iriqger on the fence,
in all this railroad enthusiasm.
Rev. J. II. Stover, of the
Christian church, who is an old
and experienced miner, received a
letter from an old brother miner
near Leadville, urging him to
come there and take an interest in
a, mine he has discovered on Texas
Creek. ulf your church had the
sand in 'em, and wanted to do
what wold be the most good for
sil, tha wold cend you out here to
preach to the hardest clas of cin
ers out of hel." This beats Scottv
Briggs, who went to get the parson
to preach Buck Fanshaws funeral.
THE HARBOR OF REFUGE.
Trinidad, the Favorite Place for a
Breakwater by Small Crafts.
The Board of Pacific Coast En
gineers, composed of Lieutenant
Colonel C. S. Stewart, Lieutenant
Colonel JR. S. "Williamson and
Maior G. H. Mendell, all of the
United States Ensineonnor
acting as a Commission to
mine the location of the
Corps,
water on the northern coast, that
will make a harbor of refuge, met
at their office, No, 533 Kearny
street San Francisco, on the 5th.
The first gentleman called upon
was Capt. Bolles, of the Oregon
Steamship company's steamer
George Elder, who gave a
detailed description of the various
currents and winds of the northern
Pacific ocean and also described
each of the proposed sites of Trini
dad, Crescent City, Coos bay, Port
Orford and the Columbia river.
In his opinion the proper site for
the breakwater was the latter
place, and it should be built out
from where Fort Stevens stands,
so as to protect the south channel
there. lie thought that' the great
and increasing: trade of Oregon de
manded it, and that all coasters
would be benefitted by the loca
tion. There was also less fog
north of Cape Blanco than south
of it.
Captain J. G. Glidden was
unequivocally in favor of Trini
dad. Captain Bonnifield of the
schooner Jessie Nickerson agreed
with Captain Glidden. Captain
Lass of the schooner Elnorah also
favored Trinidad for general com
merce. If the Puget-sound and
Columbia trade were alone to be
considered, Port Orford was not
the best location, on account of its
reef. Captain Nelson who was
greatly interested in Humboldt
bay commerce, favored Trinidad
for general commerce, and for
Puget-sound and Columbia river
trade, Cape Flattery. He thought
there ought to be two, one at each
place.

A gentleman who has spent
some flays in the region of the
coal-oil wells in Pennsylvania says
that in his opinion the government
ought to intererfere at once, and
put a stop to further pumping and
boring for oil. lie is quite certain
the oil is drawn through these wells
from the bearing of the earth's axis,
and that the earth will cease to
turn when the lubrication ceases.
