It Is Traveling Slowly but Surely Down the Columbia River. ' A traveling mountain is found at the Cascades of the Columbia. It is a triple peaked mass of dark brown basalt, six or, eight miles in length where it fronts the river, and rises to the height of al most 2,000 feet above the water. That it is in motion is the last thought that would be likely to suggest itself to the mind of any one passing it, yet it is a well established fact that this entire mountain is moving slowly but steadily down to the river, us if it had a delib erate purpose some time in the future to dam the Columbia and form a great lake from the Cascades to the Dalles. In its forward and downward move ment the forest along the base of the ridge has become submerged in the riv er. Large tree stumps oau be seen stand ing dead in the water on this shore. The railway engineers and brakemen find that the line of railway which skirts the foot of the mountain is being continually forced out of place. ' At cer tain points the permanent way and rails have been pushed eight or ten feet out -of line in a few years. Geologists at tribute this-strange phenomenon to the fact that the basalt, which constitutes the bulk of the mountain, rests on- a substratum of conglomerate or of soft sandstone, which the' deep, swift our rent of the. mighty river is constantly wearing away, or that this softer sub rock is of itself yielding at great depths to the enormous weight of : the harder mineral above.

While almost everybody has a suppli cating eye turned on events and things and other persons, a few natures are central and forever unfold, and these alone charm ns.

Bowen in Chicago Inter Ocean. IN A MEXICAN MARKET. Parrots. Puppies, Scrap Iron and Boiled Grasshoppers For Sale. The articles seen in the market I will here give as they were written down during a Sunday morning visit, says a Writer in the New York Advertiser. One department is under oover and is filled . with- assorted fruits, including oranges, lemons, limes, pineapples, pears, peaches, plums, bananas, quinces, alligator pears, cocoanuts and many other tropical fruits, most of which, owing to the high market tax and costly transportation, sell at about New York prices. The streets and sidewalks in the vicinity are lined with men, women and children, who are seated on the ground surrounded by their market products, which include, besides the ordinary vegetable, market product, parrots, pi geons, unwearied puppies, game ohickens, pet lambs, haltered pies and kids. Then there are heaps of old iron, birdcages, cheap calico, brass jewelry, boiled oorn, potatoes, stewed pumpkins, beans, pep per, cooked - and raw pigs' feet, sheep heads, hearts, lights and entrails. There are also flints and tinder for starting fires, metal mounted stone for grinding oorn, roots, bark and medical herbs and dye woods. ' ' Close by we see fried shrimp and grasshoppers..- Each are cooked whole and eaten so. . The latter are about the size of our common grass hopper, but are entirely red, but as to looks I would just as soon try to go fhe common "hopper" of the north. Besides these the natives gather the eggs of the swamp fly and boil them into a paste and eat them with salt, ohih (pepper) and tortillas. The fly and its eggs are each sold in the market. . The former is somewhat smaller than the house fly, while the eggs are about the size and color of a hayseed. In fact, everything. is eaten here that the human stomach will digest or anything that is capable of being converted into soup. , . ; . , The Sleep of Horses. When the borse sleeps, if is said that one ear is directed forward, why is not known. A writer in The English Me chanio thinks this 'is to guard against danger, being a survival of their origi nally wild habits. Ho says: "Watch a horse asleep through the window of his stable and make a faint noise to the front. That ear will be all attention, and probably the other will fly round sharply to assist. .Now let him go to sleep again and make the same noise to the left. ' The forward ear still will keep guard, with possibly a lightning flick round, only to resume its former position." ; Trades unions have existed in China for 4,000 years.

WHAT DOES IT MEAN? ' Fact or Fiction About Two Great Fair Awards. ; ', . A newspaper paragraph denounces as "false" the claim of a baking powder company to an award at the World's Fair. : Whom can it mean? . Certainly not Dr. Price's. Why? Be cause, as the records show, Dr. Price's exhibited, competed and lereived the highest award both at Chicago and the California Miojwinter Fair. The award in California included Gold Medal. The official . examiners pronounced it the strongest, the purest, the most whole some and efficient of all the baking pow ders. , Its title to confidence is unques tioned. - Can it be the manufacturers of a New York powder, fictitiously labeled "ab solutely pure," who are making " false " claims? That would be strange indeed, inasmuch as they were not even consid ered in the awards. . Was it Ammonia in the New York powder that prevented its makers from competing? If not, what? - Some writer very aptly likens the nerves to electric wires, and the general working of their system to that of electric cars. man who " slips his trolley " like Mr. Jere miah Eney, 1812 W.

Some experiments at Cornell univer sity have aroused muoh interest on ao oount of the development of what ap pears to be a form of plant dropsy. Tomatoes grown in the warm, moist air of the forcing houses had leaves that were swollen and semitransparent. The swelling continued until the veins of the leaves burst and considerable liquid flowed out. This . was caused by too muoh water at the roots and an over supply in the air. The ' leaves were not able to give off the water supplied from the roots'and stalks, and the congested condition of the leaves and subsequent bursting of the veins was a true type of a dropsical condition.

This verdict has been given by the best jury ever assembled for such a purpose, backed by the recommend ation of the Chief Chemist of the United States Department of Agriculture, Washington, D. C, who made an elabor ate examination and test of all the baking powders. This . is pre-eminently the highest authority on such matters in America. .... ...

One who has$aken a walk through Shaw's garden will hardly believe the assertion that the majority of the flow ers of the world are without odor, but such is the case. Take the flora of Eu rope as an illustration. Four thousand and two hundred species and varieties of flowers have been named and classi fied by the botanists of that country, and it has been found that less than 10 per cent of the whole give forth distin guishable odors or have perceptible oolors. The very commonest flowers of the world are white, colorless varieties predominating by at least one-third, and only one-sixth of that class are odorifer ous. - In Europe there are 1, 194 species of white flowers, only 200 of which are fragrant. In the same country they have. 951 kinds of yellow flowers, of which number only 77 are odoriferous. Out of 823 varieties of red flowers they only have 84 that give- forth odor, and in 9 of these "the smell, is far from being fragrant. " , Of the 594 blue species only 34 are fragrant, and of the 808 violet blues only 13. Next week we will gi ve a "note" entitled "The Odor of plow'-' ers, . which will . give many . curious points in that branch of botanical knowledge. St Louis Republic ..- . .. Three Snns and an Inverted Rainbow. '.' The following is taken literally word for word from a rare copy of the Brigh ton (England) Advertiser of June J, 1797: "A rare phenomenon is reported from St. Malo. Recently during the aft ernoon, between the hours of 4 and 6, three perfect suns were seen all in a row above the western horizon. 'The sky was very dear at the time, and there was Ho one who saw- the unusual sight that be lieves it to have been a mirage or other atmospheric illusion. ; . The . central seemed more brilliant than his two lu-" minous attendants,, and , .between the three there seemed to be a communica tion in the shape of waves of light com posed of all the prismatio colors...
