struggle to keep afloat. He was got
aboard in good shape and tho steamer
swung on her way.
It is a curious fact that the geographi
cal center of the United States, that used
to be somewhere near Omaha, is now,
since the acquisition of Alaska, west of
the mouth of the Columbia river. In
other words, Portland, Oregon, is nearer
to Portland, Maine, than it is to the last
of the Aleutian Islands, which belong to
the United States. Two hours after the
sun has set upon our western limits it
rises upon Mount Katahdin in Maine.

On that day the rjiin drops were un
usually large, falling perpendicularly,
and with considerable foroe.
Various theories have been advarced
to account for the formation of rain
drops but the most satisfactory explaua-

which clouds are composed are m?m
5mce, however, the resistance offered
to the passage of large drops is much
smaller m proportion to their weight
than that offered to small drops, it fol
lows that the large drops will descend
faster than the smaller ones, and will
overtake them, coming into collision with
any which are in the direct line of their
descent. When two drops collide they
will unite to form alarerarop, which will
descend with increased velocity, sweep
ing up all smaller drops in its path, and
thus increasing in size until it emerges
from tho cloud. Since manyclouds are
several miles in thickness, it is easy to
see tlrnt a particle descending from the
upper part of the cloud may become a
raindrop of considerable size before it
emerges from the cloud. In their pas
sage from the cloud to the earth the larger
raindrops will overtake the small ones
in a precisely similar xay. At the same
time the size of the drops may be
slightly increased by the condensation of

are falling, or may be slightly diminished
by partial evaporation from th
or tue drops.
A falling raindrop descends with a ve
locity which increases until the accelera
tion is balanced by the rasistance of the
air, after which the drop descends with
uniform velocity. It is, of course, well
known that large clouds may exist with
out any rain falling from them. In some
cases rain is actually formed, but evap
orates and is again converted into vapor
before it can reach the ground; in many
cases the non-formation of rain is possi
bly due to the fact that under certain un
known atmospheric or other conditions
the participles forming the clouds do not
unite when they collide. As an agent of
geological change, rain is of the greatest
importance. It plaj-s a large part in the
disintegration or rocks luid the formation
of soils, washes the smaller particles into
streams and rivers, and is, in fact, one of
the most important of the various de
nuding agents. Indeed, since rain is the
ultimate source of all our brooks, rivers,
etc., it may be said to be the principal
agent of geographical change on tne
earth's surface. The amount of the rain
fall varies very considerably in different
countries and in different parts of the
.same country, derending on geographical
position, the contormation ot the surface
of the ground, the proximity of large
lpkes and the sea, etc. The heaviest an
nual fall of rain occurs in the zone of
calms over the equatorial region of the
Atlantic and Pacitic oceans and on the
west coast of the British Isles, India,
Norway, North and South America and
New Zealand. In all these latter dis
tricts the west wind blows over a large
tract of ocean and becomes heavily
charged with moisture, which it deposits
wuen forced upward by tho action of the
mountains on the coasts. The driest
districts in the world are the desert
regions of Asia and Africa. The auionut
of rain which falls in a singlo shower is
sometimes enormous, especially in tho
tropics. In the British Isles oue of the
heaviest falls on record is a fall .of S.3G
inches in twenty-four hours, in Mon
mouthshire, July" 14, 1875. On October
'25, 1836, at Gibraltar there was a fall ot
30.11 inches. Our little rainfall of 2.7
inches on the 19th inst. seems quite in
significant in comparison.
Forts Oanby aail Stovens.
In his annual report, Gen. Miles, com
mander of the department of the Colum
bia makes many valuable suggestions
concerning necessary work in that de
partment. In reference to the forts at
tho mouth of the Columbia, he says:
Forts Stevens and Canby, properly be
long to the national system of perma
nent coast fortifications, but each has an
establisument of wooden structures com
prising barracks, officers' quarters, etc.,
intended for occupaucy by its garrison in
time of peace, and thev necessarily be
long to tbe number of of permanent posts
of tho department. Tho heavy artillery
troops needed for the care and manning
of these works have been, under the in
fractions of a former division com
mander, consolidated in garrison at Foit
vJanby; which has, in consequence, re
ceived much more care and attention
and a larger allowance from appropri
ations than the former named post.
With the allotment now available, to
gether with what has been specially ap
plied for, for expenditure during the
current year, Fort Canby may be counted
upon to be in fair condition at the end
of that period.
Fort Stevens, Oregon, on the contrary,
has been neglected for several years, the
post part of it consisting of barracks,
officers quarters, etc., storehouses, etc.
The work is a much more important one
than it is usually considered. A ship
coming in across the bar may pass a great
portion of the entire distance outside ot
che range of Fort Canby batteries, but
jiust, for a course of several miles, ana
through an arc of 180 deg., be under the
ire of the Fort Stevens battery of thirty-four
guns of heavy caliber, mounted
"en-barbette." In one portion of thib
course, and for quite a distance, a ship
jiust pass within 800 to 1,000 yards, anu
.vhere every gun of Stevens battery can
oe brought to bear upon her. The effect
ii this concentrated fire can at once be
appreciated.
its value to the commerce of Astoria,
Portland and other business centers in
jase of hostilities with any other mari
time nation cannot bo calculated;
iut it may well be assumed that it is
jnwise and unsafe to permit such a
fortification to lapse by neglect into con
dition unfitting it for the be3t of service.
Ul military men will concede that this
work should bo continuously garrisoned

iondition for occupancy, by its appro

that to accomplish the end desired a good
jubstantiul two company post should be
ionstructed at the earliest practicable
Jay on and near the site of the present
lilfinidated building. Tho estimated
-t of this valuable improvement is 42,
000. ul the improvements desired and rec
ommended by Gen. Miles in his letter to
the authorities and congress are regarded
as essential for the health and general
welfare of the troops, and it is deemed
advisibl6 that the appropriations therefor
should be by special act of congress to
the end that the work may be carried
through to completion without stoppage
or delay.

It can scarcely be denied now that the
leading issue in" the coming presidential
campaign will be that of the tariff. Much

it, and resort to the usual platform dec

thing, the popular sentiment of the
country i ,: -dually but surely defining
tbe tariff as the leading issue of the
camtMign. JNever in tne political nistory
of the country has there been such wide
divergence of opinion among the leaders
of the great parties as among the present
political chieftains. The stern old apos
tles of war tariffs have all along main
tained the advocacy of their pet theory,
that modification was death to American
industry; while on the other hand the
fire-eating reformers, embracing every
species of free-traders, wildly affirm that

Over 100,030,000 acres of the publio do

of'" the first part are the people of the
United States, and of tho second part
certain railroad corporations. These
grants represent 250,000,000 of money.
There is a strong united public demand
that, because the conditions upon which
they were granted havo been inexcusably
violated, they shall revert back to the
government and bo opened for purchase
by intending settlers. This is a vast sum
of money, and worth spending millions,
if necessary, to secure. There is also a
prospect that oongress will pass a law
prohibiting combinations between other
wise competing lines to fix and maintain
rates of freights and fares. Such a law,
if enforced, would compel competition,
and the result would inevitably be that
transportation charges would bo based

Birth of the Colombia Blrer.
"When tho mountain systemB had been
perfected, encircling the waters between
the IJocky Mountains and Cascade range,
forming a great inland sea, the tide no
longer ebbed and flowed there "twice in
twenty-four hours." But when the alarm
of tho storm was sounded; when the
thick clouds were mustered for the black
tempest, and the winds burst forth in
their mad fury, then the waves dashed up
tho steep sides of the sand cliffs and
each left its ripple marks as it receded.
In the process ot time the sand was
changed to stone, the wpve hues still re
maincd mementoes of a past epooh. As
the upheaval of the bed of the im
prisoned waters continued, their surface
gradually rose until far above the level
of the ' ocean, unable to escape the
mountain chain that formed an impen
etrable barrier to their egress. If there
was a diminution from evaporation, it
was more than compensated by the rain
fall during the rainy season. Then, as
now, tho sea breeze earned eastward the
ocean-formed clouds, when tho moisture
was condensed by the cold and the rain
fall was general. Streams and rivers
were formed, all flowing into the im
prisoned waters, which were thus con
stantly increasing. During tho lapse of
ages the imprisoned waters reach the
summit of the Cascades. A storm arises.
Great waves are roiling across its sur
face. See! whrt a monster billow ap
E roaches! It would overwhelm a whole
eet! Now it breaks with the force of a
million tons against the rocky barrier in
terposed between two lofty peaks. Look!
a part of the mountain is moved out of
its place and borne irresistibly forward.
Before it yawns an awful precipice; but,
as if exhausted by the gigantic strug
gle, the waters retire and the loosened
mass of rock is once more at rest. Again
and again the waters roll forward, like
the phalanx of an army, when a third
wave, towering like a giant, dashes upon
the shattered mass, bearing it grandly on,
then hurling it headlong thousands of
feet below. The broach has been made,
and now tho imprisoned waters rush
madly on reeling, falling, foaming
carrying everything before them, wear
ing their passage through the solid rock,
as they cut a channel for the grand old
Columbia. West Shore.
