There muM have been a time in the re mote jmst when the I’uget Bound basin was covered with a growth which for rank luxuriance would put to blutih any thing that grown here now. The old 010**1 'Reiter* of the present day, the ad venturoue apirita of the last three decades who pushed their way through almost impenetrable wilds to settle here, point w itli pride to the giant firs, towering 800 feet high, and from 8 to 10 feot through ut the stumps, to the mosses of ferns 7 and h f>et high, to hop vines 40 feet in length, to oats that yield ICO bushels per acre, and ask what other oottutrj on earth can show espial pnsluctiveiieaa. And yet this growth of to-day must lie iw nothing compared w ith that which grew here ages ago and formed the coal fields which are now begiuning to le prospected. These fields arc of enonnoua extent In th> Istsin of the Cowlitz River, which rises in Mount 8t Helena, which Win throp says was still an active volcano when ho w as writing "Canoeand Saddle,” there are over 40,000 acres, so fur un touched. In tlie Chehalis valley tliero are vast de|tosits still unexplored. In the Carbon River region there is one vast Ud underlying 3 whole townships, one vein which is 24 feet thick, and in it a oeatn, feet thick, of perfectly puro coal. In the Raging River, Snoqualmie, Skagit, Nookaar, and Wenatchle basins there are other vast dejKwits—how vast noltodv yet knows. The railroad com |any now has 18 men In the Hold pros piv ing these regiona This work in most cas>w is easy, as the bodn crop out along the river hanks and in the walls of gulches and canons in many places, and in some instances can be traced for miles without a break. (tenoral Alger, of Michigan, and his partners have a tract of 18,000 acres of timber in Skagit county, which there is reason to believe is generally underlaid w ith a 6-foot vein of coal of fairly good quality. Those deposits extend on into British Columbia, and are particularly rich in Vancouver Island, a large part of which Is underlaid by them. Nature teems always to Imve been at her most wonderful work hereabouts. Not many centuries ago she maintained a row of lighthouses on this coast the equal of w hich was uever seen elsewhere. Tlieir lights shine no more, however,‘and they now stand solemn pinnacles of ice piercing the clouds. They are Mounts Mia*ta. Hood, 8t Helens,Adams,Tacoma, baker, and St. Elias, and range in height from 11,225 to 17,850 feet. All of these are true mountain peaks, rising abruptly almost from the sea level. Most of them still emit hot steam from their summits, and some older residents of the coast claim to have seen an occa sional jet of flame from Mount Baker, but most people believe that while all were ones active volcanoes they are now practically extinct They undoubtedly made things lively when they were in the full blaze of business, Tle characteristics of Puget Sound in dicate that it was created by earthquakes or volcanic action.

All that he experimented upon with it were killed, j Electricity moves 288,000 miles per Second; light moves 192,000 miles per ! second; a rifle-ball moves 1,400 feet per second. When mines are lighted by incandes cent light it is claimed tliat dangers from fire-damp and explosive gases will lie minimised. A new mineral oil lubricant having the consistency of butler and without appreciable odor is being extensively used in France. A rotary arc lamp having revolving carbon'-' disks- instead of the ordinary pencil carltons will, it is claimed, run continuously for forty hours without the renewing of the carbons. A medicament more powerful tlian quinine in counteracting fevers is said to have been discovered in Mexico. It is a plant called the pombolano, the root of which contains a substance analogous to quinine. It is claimed that wall-paper can be made in such away that the passage of a low-tension electric current will heat it moderately warm to the touch and diffuse throughout the room an agree able temperature. The first Genu an Catholic church to lie lighted by electricity is the Strasburg Cathedral, anti although the dim relig ious light of former days is somewhat interfered with the effect as aw hole ia highly satisfactory. In a library in Paris, said to be the largest in the world, is a Chinese chart of the heavens, in which 1,460 stars aro found to be correctly placed according D Mie scientists of the present day. Tho court was made in 600 B. C. The electrical process has been success fully adopted in South Australia for the recovery of the minute particles of gold dust that have hitherto been lost in the work of separating the metal from the ore. The economical value of the pro cess has been abundantly proved. A new phonograph, said to be much simpler than any other so far introduced, has lately appeared in Milan. It can re produce music and the human voice in a most marvelous manner, and one of its features is its cheapness, the wax cylin ders used costing only 25 centimes. American inventions have cheapened and facilitated canal construction, both as to excavation and locks, to such an extent that the Nicaragua canal will be completed in half the time and at half the cost that the same work would have demanded fifty years ago.—[lnventivo Age. An automatic card-shuffler is the latest English invention. The cards are dropped into the slot of the machine, which works itself, and by turning a handle they are brought back to the surface of the table. The process, which changes the position of each card, occupies only twenty sec onds. The alarm girdle for men-of-war or harliors, to protect them from the sudden attack of torpedo boats at night, as pro posed for use in France, consists of wire supported by buoys placed at intervals all around the vessel. Should an enemy break through the line at night a light flares up and discloses his position. An English photographer claims to have obtained a photograph in which the natural colors were reproduced when the exposure was made, by accident, just at the moment when there came a blinding flash of lightning. He says that a friend of his once got a colored plate under similar circumstances, and believes that electricity has to do with photographic colors. A moustache trainer has appeared in England. It is an elastic curved strip of thin metal, at either end of w hich is secured an adjustable plate, faced on the inner side with soft cloth, in order that the machine may comfortably clasp tho ends of the moustache. The latter is carefully arranged, at night or during periods of seclusion and the trainer fixed upon it. A new mineral has been discovered in the vicinity of the little town of Homer, Ky., and the inhabitants of that place expect to realize millions. The substance discovered is a black pitchy formation, and is of a loamy appearance 'When placed in the fire it burns with a clear steady flame, and makes a brilliant white light It is entirely consumed by burn ing, and leaves no ashes or clinkers. An Austrian photographer named Wrens has succeeded in producing a certain range of colors, running from ruby red to light orange. He has caught, also, a vivid French blua Green, brown, violet, and the variations of blue have thus far eluded him. But scientific men who have followed his experiments pre dict that all colors are obtainable, and that a revolution in camera work is at hand. The question whether or not electricity is manufactured is now being tried in certain courts. If it is manufactured the producers in numerous States are liable for taxation. Benjamin Franklin held that electricity was not manufact ured, but was taken from one body to be 4 - On® Cent delivered to another, and that practically nothing was lust in the transition. Hitherto our scientific men hare held this to le true in a broad sense. Electricity i now used in working copper by an English inventor, and the results, it is claimed, are alluring. In brief, the copper is electrically deposited from the rough bars upon a revolving mandrel or mold, over the face of which pusses a burnisher condensing the copper particles as they are deposited. llie ma terial in this way is rendered dense, fibrous, and cohesive, and also possesses an otherwise unattainable strength aud ductility, all at a low cost Seamless pipes of any diameter can thus be pro duced for cheaper tluui by any other pro cess.

More than forty thousuiul Jews have been expelled from Russia in the last eighteen months. The Jews receive orders to leave the empire within a fixed time —generally a month —and when the time comes, off they must go. A Chinese liniv rsity has l>oen incor porated in New York. The institution will lie wide in scope, embracing philan thropy, literature, science, ami religion. A dozen savans from China are expected to take charge of it. The largest tree in the world, accord ing to statistics lately published hy the Italian government, is a chestnut stand ing at the foot of Mt. AStna. The cir cumference of the main trunk at 00 feet from the ground is‘2l2 feet. The doejiest well in the world is soon to lie dug in the environs of London. It will lie nearly 1.2100 feet deep, and will lie furnished with stairs and be illuini- * nated. The object of the well is to en able the students to oliserve the various geological strata. Mr. Petrie has dug up at Kaliun, for merly known as Illahun, what probably is the oldest will in existence. It con sists of a settlement made by Hekhenrew in 2550 It. C., or 4,440 years ago. It is unexpectedly similar in form to modern documents of the sort. Young Japs are regarded by American naval oil leers as the best kind of servants on shipboard. They are marvels of neat ness, intelligence, obedience, and cour tesy. Some Japs of excellent position at home are performing such services on American men-of-war. The American Hebrew says that the subject of the construction of a railroad from Jaffa to Jerusalem is one that is greatly agitating the people of Palestine at the present time. Full surveys have been made by competent engineers, who report favorably regarding the project. The increase of capacity in the Suez Canal, resulting from the use of electric light for night passages, is equivalent to widening the canal from its present bot tom width of 22 meters to 32 meters —an operation which would cost at least $20,000,000. The population of Ireland continues to decline, and appears to have dropped some 50,000 in number during the past year. The lowest point in this present century has now been reached; its zenith was in 1845, when there were 8,250,000. The estimate for to day is 3,500,000. The population of Africa, according to the estimate of Stanley and other trav elers, is nearly 850,000,000. Of these, no less than 10,000,000 live in the Soudan, and no missionary lias ever set foot in this vast region. There are 600 distinct languages in Africa, and 530 have never been reduced to writing. In the year 1700 there was but 1 newa- Iper in the United States. In 1870 there were 5,871; this year there are 16,- 319, the total for the United States and Canada being 17,107. In 1870 there were but 18,000 periodicals printed in the whole world. Now', however, there are in the United States alone 12,791 weeklies, 1,998 mothlies, and 1,584 dailies. Parisians were lately treated to a rare effect of mirage. The Eiffel tower was seen surmounted by an inverted image of itself, vertical in the heavens and looking like a duplicate continuation of the real structure. The hose of tlie image lost itself in the upper mist, while behind the tower was a low cloud which gleamed like silver. The sun was shin ing across the haze to the left of the tower and contributed an additional ef fect of light and shadow. Miles'Nerve A Liver. Pills. An important discovery.
