ft The Codfish Banks ^VVide publicity has been given Jately to the reported discovery by the Uiutod jSratea fish commissioner steamer Alba tross of the extensive codfishing banks off San Diego. The journals of the southern coast tow* have been much impressed with the impoitance oi the discovery, and have had much to say about it. Old fishermen, who know well the habits of the cod, have been loth to believe that the fish could be found in any great numbers in such warm water and such an exposed position as desig nated, in the rsgion of St. Nicholas Isl and. Evidently there is something wrong about the announcement. As far as the banks and shoals are concerned, these "discoveries" have been marked on coast suryey charts for the past thirty five years. The coast survey vessels have often sounded in the locality men tioned, and there has been more or less fishing done by them, but never has there been any cod found. The currents there are very strong, and any vessel of size can remain near the banks only with much difficulty. That the reported cod banks near Cape Lookout, on the upper coast, will prove of value is con sidered very hkely, for there are many of the surroundings that fishermen con sider most favorable to the cod.San Francisco Bulletin. The Foot of the Grand Canyon. I went to the bottom of the Grand canyon of the Colorado last winter and am one of the few men who ever at tempted the descent. I went there to examine a mine said to exist in the bot tom of the canyon. I have been all through the Rockies from Montana to Central America and know what a chasm is, but the sight of that abyss took my breath away. From the top to the bottom it 13 full 0,000 feet. Over a mile below you can see the river tearing through the gorge, but not a sound can be heard, it is so far away. From one bank to the other it is apparently not over a quarter of a mile, but as a matter of fact it is fully nineteen miles. My guide told me I would never be able to reach the bottom, but I was determined to go and I went. It was a terrible climb and it took us eight hours to reach the bottom. It is certainly the most desolate place in the world. There is no living thing down thereno insects, rep tiles nor animals of any kmd. Every thing is absolutely dead. The mining prospect was worthless. Before the sun was up the next morning we were on our way out, and it took us until 10 o'clock that night to climb the wall of the canyon.St. Louis Globe-Democrat. The "tost Cabin." On Aug. 4, 1886, Charles E. Burnes and Nathan Fubbard left Lmkville, Ore., on a prospecting tour to find the "Lost Cabin" in the mountains. For years the Lost Cabin has been one of the tradi tions of that section, and many a search has been made for it and the gold that is supposed to be waiting for the finder. Nothing was again heard of the two men until a few weeks ago, when a cat tle herder found* their camp and their skeletons in a dense wilderness near Dia mond lake, fifty miles from Fort Kla math. The skeletons were found near together, wrapped in their blankets and clothed. Their guns stood against a tree near by. A small sum of money was in one of the men's pockets, and a watch, so that it seemed pertain that they had not been murdered and robbed. A diary and a postal card addressed to Burnes' mother served to identify them. The diary was carried to Aug. 21, 1886, so the men had been dead nearly three years. But how they died will probably be one of the mysteries of the Diamond Lake region.Chicago Herald. Fruit Growing Out of the Rocks. A hardy apple tree, loaded with ripe, luscious fruit, giowing from the crevices of a rock, is a curiosity which has at tracted the attention of visitors to Fair mount park through the Callowhill street entrance this summer. The tree, which is very large, shoots up from the crevice of the rocks blasted to form the pool for the pumping at the Fairmount water works. The apples on the tree are the beauti ful rosy cheeked, yellow variety, and from their quality and size it would ap pear that theie was some rich source of sustenance, though none is visible from any point of view, the roots being plain ly seen clinging to the rocky walls, shooting in one crevice and out of an other. Hundreds of small boys try, day after day, to procure specimens of the fruit, but the isolated position of the tree has thus far saved it from their raids.Philadelphia Times. American Women at the Exposition. This is about the way that the average American woman dresses to spend the day in the Paris exposition. The fash ionable begin to go there immediately after breakfast, and take luncheon and dinner there, attend the concerts and spectacles from hour to hour, taking in all the Oriental departments, seeing the Eastern dancers, and getting along rest in the afternoon by taking a wheeled Chair and hiring a small boy to roll them about in a leisurely fashion among the palms and flowers in the horticultural department.Paris Letter. The forty-third annual report of the commissioners in lunacy for Great Bri tain contains interesting figuies. QQ New Year's day last there were in the kingdom 84,840 insane persons. Various causes of insanity are set forth in a table covering 136,478 cases. Of these 9,569 persons lost their reason from domestic trouble, 8,060 from "adverse Circum stances," 8,278 from overwork and worry, 8,769 from religious excitement, and 18,290 from intemperance. The in fluence of heredity was ascertained in 28,063 cases, and congenital defect in 5,881. Earn Inn HI* College Course, Speaking of snobbishness, the Listener is glad to have occasion to note a case of old fashioned manly absence of that unpleasant reality. Spending a Sunday recently with a friend in a very delight ful summer resort not far away, where a good many pleasant cottages have been buil! on a cliff commanding a fine viow of the summer sea, the Listener happen ed to be sitting on the veranda with his friend as a milkman's wagon drew up in the street. The milkman, a sturdy young fellow, of pleasant face, dismounted, rang a bell by way of warning tQ the maids of the vicinity to get their pitchers ready, and then started around with his cans and his pint measure. As he parsed around to the back door of the cottage, the Listener's friend saluted him as one gentleman salutes another. And when the milkman had gone the other said: "That young man is a member of the class of '90 at Harvard college." "Indeed?" "Yes. He is carrying himself through entirely by his own exertions, and he takes this way of helping himself out. I dare say he makes enough money selling milk at a good figure to the people here in the summer time to pay the greater part of his expenses for the remainder of the year at Cambridge." "Poes he water his milk?" "Not perceptibly. It is very good milk, and I have no doubt he is as honest as the business allows." There was a young man in the house who belongs to the class below the milk man's in college, and he testified to the excellent standing of the young man at Harvard. Such an incidc -one of a good many which go to prove that Harvard men are by no means all idle swells. Perhaps there is not nearly so large a proportion of students at Harvard who earn money in the summer time by table waiting at the mountain and seaside resorts as at Dartmouth or Amherst, but there are certainly a good many men there who earn every cent of their college expenses. Boston Transcript. A Bi Steamer's Twin Screws. When Capt. Watkins, of the City of Paris, left Queenstown on the 25th of last month and started on a course fifty nine miles shorter than his famous run shorter because he ran northward where the world grows smaller and came down over the shoulder of "the great globe we inherit," taking any possible chance there might be of fogs and ice in cross ing the banks of Newfoundland at this seasonthe engines were put at full speed, and for something over four clays they were driven at the average rate of ninety revolutions of the screws per mmute. There was a variation from eighty-six to ninety-two revolutions. When the furnaces were opened to be cleaned the intensity of the steam would be diminished for a few minutes and the speed of the screws reduced to eighty six turns in the minute. It will be noted that the average speed was three revo lutions in two seconds, and the screws are twenty feet in diameter. It is aston ishing that this velocity can be main tained day and night without a second's waiting and avoid developing exf~"*" and crippling heat. The fact that thirty men are employed to pour oil upon the bearings and all parts where the friction is severe will perhaps account in part for the phenom ena, but certainly only the greatest per fection of material, and the most deli cate adaptation of one part to the other, could provide for such a strain without disaster. I doubt whether so startling a test of integrity and absolute exactitude in manufacture can be found in any other machinery. During the late run of the City of Paris the wind was so strong from the north one afternoon as to give the ship a decided lift, elevating the larboard screw so that at each turn the blades threw showers of spray with a dazzling rush far behind the vessel There are four blades in the screw, re volving three times in two secondsso there were six white surges per second dashed to the winds, and a fine reminder of the snowy rapids of Niagara.M. Halstead's "On the Bounding Billowa" The New Saltise. A recent issue of The Farmington Register, of Oregon, contains a letter from Andrew Saltise, the head of the Cceur d'Alene Indians, asking the saloon men not to sell his people liquor. He says if any of them are found drunk in town he would like to have the city marshals arrest them and send word to him, and he will go and get them and put them in his jail. He also talks to the county clerk about estrays, and says his people lose many horses. He closes by saying: "I want to be at peace with all the whites, and would like to have the whites use my people as they use one another." It is but a few years since Saltise rode at the head of the Cceur d'Alene warriors and was a savage chief bent on destroying the whites. Now he rides around the country taking a fa therly interest in his tribe and keeping them straight. He is thrifty and well to do, and rides into to^n in a comfort able carriage behind a good pair of horses. IJew Styles of postal Cards. The new postal cards soon to be issued will vary in size There will be three sizes when the contracts are finally taken upone a fine, delicate card for ladies' use, much smaller than that now in cir culation and of much finer quality. Finely calendered paper will be substi tuted for the old buff blotting paper. An intermediate card of the same size as the one now in use will be retained, and a new large card wiU be introduced that can be used for business purposes, and will be large enough to allow a billhead to be printed thereon, besides the other matter.Washington Cor.
