The Ural Mountains are the world's

Ninety-live per cent of tbe total product
of that metal comes from the Ural re

In 185)0 their total output wan only

the demand for this rare metal, the

According to a recent consular re
port from Magdeburg, Germany, tbe
production of beet-sugar In tbe world
Is now twice aa great as that of cafiTf
sugar. This victory of tho beet over
the cane Is ascribed to the Influence of
the science of chemistry In developing
the ludustry of lHet-ugar-maklng.
This Influence Is especially exerted In
Germany, where more than a thou
sand cheuilsts are exclusively employed
In the sugar factories. Tbe manufac
ture of beet-sugnr has taken a sudden
start In Fpaln since she lost her col
onies In the war with the United States.
In this country east of tbe Rocky
Mountains the lowermont type of cloud,
the stratus, floats at an average height
of 2,700 feet In winter and 3.SO0 feet In
summer. Roth in winter and summer
tbe basei of cumulus clouds keep t a
ineun elevation of 3,000 feet, but the
domes sometimes reach a height of nine
thousand oi ten thousand feet The
nimbus, or storm cloud, varies from
0,000 to 0,200 feet The average height
of the cirrus In summer Is thirty-three
thousand feet, and in winter thirty
one thousand. But this Is occasionally
exceeded by three or four miles. In
September, 1800, cirrus clouds were
seen at an elevation of Aty-Blx thou
sand feet or over ten miles.
One of the most striking spectacles
revealed by telescopes I that of tho
Great Nebula In Orion. In the complex
ity of Its glowing streams, spirals and
strangely shaped masses, Intercepted
by yawning black gaps and sprinkled
over with stars arranged In suggestive
groups and lines. It has few rivals In
the heavens. . Tbe impression of aston
ishment made by the sight of this
nebula Is heightened by knowledge of
Its enormous size. Tbe entire solar sys
tem would appear as a tiny speck be
side It. Yet this tremendous aggrega
tion of nebulous clouds and starry
swarms has been proved by tho re
searches of the late Professor Keelcr
of the Lick Observatory to be flying
away from the earth and tbe sun at the
rate of eleven miles In every second.
But m vast Is its distance that one hun
dred years reveal no visual effects of
the great nebula's swift retreat. If it
were near by It would seem to become
rapidly smaller.
THEFT OF A GREAT RIVER.
How the Pnube I Robbed Through
the ltireralon of It Tributaries.
Geologists have long known that one
stream may appropriate the waters of
another by gradually encroaching upon
Its watershed and diverting its trlbu
tarlcs one by one. This kind of theft
Is at least frank and open. ,It takes
place on the surface, and every one at
least every geologist can see what Is
going on. Tho river Danube, according
to expert authority, Is suffering from a
more Insidious form of robbery, by
which the Rhine profits, part of the
Danube's water being drawn off under
ground Into the Rhine valley.' And this
may be of great Importance to future
dwellers of the Danube, for If It Is not
stopped It may end by causing the river
below the point of abosrptlon to be
come permanently dry. Says M. E. A.
Mattel, writing on this subject In La
.Geographic (Tarls):
"In a recent geological work
Prof. Albrecht Penck has called atten
tion to tho subterranean drainage of a
part of the waters of the Danube by
which, curiously enough, the Rhine
basin profits. Between Donauschlngen
(Rrlon) and Tuttllnger (Wurtemburg)
r ttt fissures in tbe limestone
formation draw off tbe waters of tbe
Danube underground a phenomenon
observed as long ago as 1710 by F. W.
Breulnger. This writer suggested that
tbe water thus drawn off reappeared In
the springs of Aach, a little town near
Lake Constance ... , and bis hy
pothesis was verified by Kuop in 1877
by tbe use of flourescein.
Still more recently the writer tells
us,, other instances of subterranean
."capture" have been noted by which
part of the waters one river are di
verted Into .tho drainage basla of an
other. Now It Is remarked by Profes
sor Pcnck that unless this loss of Dan
ube water Is stopped in some way It
will go on Increasing gradually until It
will fake the whole of the river's sup
ply, leaving the lower river bed quite
dry, ss It is left occasionally now, ac
cording to Quenstedt, : In years of
drouth. Then tbe gradual deepening of
the Danulie valley will end at the point
of absorption. Below Monringen will
extend a dry valley while above a
"blind valley" will be drained by a sub
terranean river. This Is not a fl'gbt of
the Imagination, for tbe same thing has
happened to the river Folba In Istrla
and the Itecca, near Trieste. The au
thor adds that these and other cases,
notably In Dalmatla, show what threat
ens the Danube valley unless man In
tervenes. The length of time that
elapses before the reappeorance of the
water at Aach (sixty hours) shows that
It must make a long circuit, or that It
encounters great ohxtaclcs under
ground. It Is noted by M. M artel that
Professor Penck's book goes far to con
firm a theory advauced by himself that
subterranean circulation of water Is

' I witnessed a strange scene on tbe

years ago. Trains loaded to the guards
were run In sections from Sbeepshead

In the rear car thought the engine fol

The panic lasted several seconds. It
was all pervading. It seemed as If
there were strange beings in the air
spreading an uncontrollable fear among
men and women. There was one simul

force In nature had shocked the entire

TRAVELS AS A TRAMP.
Hamlet's Grave.
Everywhere the vandals are; but, on
the whole says Jacob A. Ulls In the
Century, I rather think that Elslnore
has turned the tables on them. Hamlet
being dead, there had to be a Hamlet's
grave, of course. The English tourists
demanded it, and in due course of time
there appeared & mound on the bluff,
marked with a plain granite shaft that
bore the name of the melancholy Dane.
The relic-hunters chipped It to pieces
In one brief season. The hotel-keepers
provided another, and it went the same
way. When last I stood at Hamlet's
grave I beheld It a mighty heap of
stones and slag, several cart-loads, My
friend, one of thesolld citizens of the
town," nodded knowingly at my look of
amazement.
"We caught up with them at last,"
he said. "We just have ear ugh carted
out from the glass-works every year
to fill up the holes they made tbe sea
son before; then let them go ahead.
