Tho alleged slipping of the basaltic mountains toward tho Columbia river, at tho point where tho river cuts through the Cascado range, has been attributed to the slope of the underlying sandstone. It is more probable that the slip is upon one or both of the pasty conglomerate beds above and be low the sandrock. The structure of the mountain has been studied by Professor J. LeConte, whose description ib quoted below in the lately published report of Lieu tenant Symons' examination of the upper Columbia river. There is fennd: 1. Along the water's edge, and for about fifteen fet upward, a very coarse con glomerate of rounded pophyn tic pebbles and boulders of all sizes, up to six feet in diameter, coher ing by an imperfectly lithified earthy paste. 2. Above this conglomerate is a very distinct, irregnlar old ground surface bed, in which are found slicified stumps, with their roots sproading out over twenty feet in diameter, penetrating into the bowlder material beneath, and evidently in situ. This is un-. doubtedly an old forest ground surface. 3. Resting directly in this ground surface and therefore in closing the erect stumps, is a layer of stratified sandstone, two or three feet thick, filled with beauti ful impressions of leaves of several kinds of forest trees, about whose slicified bases they are found. This layer is not continuous, like the ground surface on which it rests. 4. Above this stratified leaf bearing layer rests a coarse con glomerate similar to that beneath at the water level. Scattered about in the lower part of the upper conglomerate and in the stratified sandstone, and sometimes lying in tbe dirt beneath it, are fragments of trunks and branches of oaks and conifers, in a silicified or lignitized condition. They are evidently .silicified driftwood. 5. Above this conglomerate, and resting upon it, rise the layers of lava, mostly columnar basalt, one above another, to the hight of more than 3000 feet. The history of these formations Profe&sor Le Conte reads as fol fel fol eows: 1. The region of the Columbia river was a forest, probably a val ley overgrown by conifers and oaks. The subsoil of this forest was a coarse boluder drift pro duced by erosion from older rocks. 2. By excess of water, either by floods or changes of level, the trees were killed, and their leaves shed and buried in the mud, and their trunks rotted to stumps 3. Tumultuous and rapid de posit of coarse drift containing driftwood covered up the forest. gronnd and the still remaining stumps, one hundred, perhaps several hundred, feet in thick ness. 4. The surface thus formed -was eroded into hills and dales. 5. Then followed the outburst of lava in successive flows, per haps for a long period of time, and the silicification of the wood and the cementation of the drift by the percolation of hot alkaline waters containing silica, as happens so commonly in sub-lava drifts. 6. Finally followed the process of erosion by which the present stream channels, whether main or tributary, have been cut to their enormous depth. The outflow of lava whith forms the bulk of tho mountain was . probably the grandest and most extraordinary lava flow that ever took place It covered an area of 200,000 square miles to an average depth of something like 2000 feet. Its greatest depth was not less than 3,700 feet. Fables. A Chicago lady once Applied to a Learned Judge for a Divorce. "What is the name of the Hus band?'' inquired the Learned Judge. "I have no husband yet, but Inasmuch as I contemplate matrimony, I felt that I should bo prepared for the Worst. An editor once Owned three hundred thousand dollars worth of railroad stock, twenty One-Thou-sand-DolIar government bonds, six white Shirts, a country resi dence on the Hudson, a farm in Illinois, h span of Horses and a Wagon, two suits of Clothes and a Plug Hat. This fable Teaches that all Liars are Not Dead Yet. A Dog and a Tail fell into a dis pute as to which should Wag the Other. An itinerant Wasp pass ing that Way, casually Remarked: "Speaking of Tails reminds me that I Possess ono which may pos sibly be Influential enough to Wag you Both." This fable Teaches us that Ten. cents worth of Dynamite is a bigger man than a Church Steeple. A Person passing a Bam yard was observed by a Mule to be in Distress. "Tell me," said the Mule "what is the Cause of your Sorrow, that I may S3mpathize with you." "Alas," said the man, "I am Dead Broke and I know not how to Mend mj' For tunes." If you will just Step in side of this Yard," remarked the Mule, in a Kindly tone. "I will Try to make a Raise for You." The man Did so; and the Fact that his Hat was found in an Adjoining State the next Day, warrants the Belief that tho Mule fulfilled his Pledge. A Sympathetic Pawnbroker once Called upon an Afflicted Clothing Merchant to Condole with him upon the Loss of his Wife. "Moses," quoth he, "you were so Wild with Grief when I saw you Sitting by the Coffin yes terday that I could not bear the Sight, but Crept away Weeping." "Were you not by the Grave?" inquired Moses, removing the Handkerchief from his eyes. "No," replied Abraham, "I was Not by the Grave I was too much Broken up with Seeing you by the Coffin." "Oh," exclaimed Moses, "you should have Been by the grave I just raised h 1 by the grave!" This Fable teaches that the Depth of Human Sorrow is Boundless. Denver Tribune. A Hint From Japan. A notable instance of the Japan ese understanding of the condi tions under which they exist, oc curs in the manner of giving secur ity to pagodas. Pagodas are of great height, yet many have ex isted for 700 years, and have with stood successfully the many vibra tions of the ground, which must have inevitably achieved their overthrow had they been erected of stone or brick. When I first ascended a pagoda I was struck with the amount of timber era ployed in its construction; and j could not help feeling that the material here wasted was even ab surdly excessive. But what of fended my feelings most was the presence of an enormous log of wood in the centre of the struct ure," which ascended from its base to its apex. At the top this mass o timber was nearly two feet in diameter, and lower down a log equally large was bolted to each i of the four sides of this central mass. I was so surprised with this l waste ot timber that I called tho attention of my good friend Sakata to the matter, and especially de nounced the use of. the center block. To my astonishment he told me that the structure must be strong to support the vast central mass. In my ignorance I replied that the center part was not sup ported by the sides, but upon . reaching the top I found this ( monstrous central mass suspended, , like the clapper of a bell; and' when I had descended I could, by lying on the ground, see that there was an inch of space intervening between it and the earth which j formed the floor of the pagoda.' The pagoda is to a Budohist tem- ; pie what a spire is to a Christian j church; and by its clever construe- ' tion it is enabled to retain its' verticle position even during the ' continuance of earthquake shocks, for by the swinging of this vast j pendulum the center of gravity is kept within the base. I now un derstand the reason for that lavish use of timber which I had so rash ly pronounced to be useless; and I see that there is a method in Japanese construction which is worthy of high appreciation. In the absence of any other instance, the employment of this scientific method of keeping the pagoda upright shows how carefully the Japanese have thought out the re quirements to be met.

America carried off the first hon ors at the Berlin fish exhibition, and, will strive to do the same in London. If she fails it will be a magnificent display which will beat her.
