Is that enormous waste known as the

hometimes fall during the summer, and
the torrents of a day fill the dried-up
water courses through which water sel
dom runs. It is in these channels that
the Mongols dig their wells, expecting
to find a little water, when upon the
Mirface of the plateau itself the soil has
lost all traces of humidity. It is owing

Cumous evidence shows that a cubic
inch of air at sea level contains about
S50,000,000 molecules. If the law of
regularly diminishing density holds
good, a cubic inch of air at the height
of 100 miles will contain about 350.000
molecules, and at less than 222 miles
only one molecule. Opinions differ,
however, as to the actual height of the
atmosphere's upper surface. Prof.
Young declares that no definite upper
limit can be stated, while Prof. Forster,
of Uerlin, contends that a thin air, con
nected with that of the earth, pervades
the whole solar system.

some remarks w hich he had Mr llryan (Neb.)

received by the members when he appeared In

until adjournment, the pending question being
a motion to strike out tho provision assigning
nrmv officers as agent After preliminary
business in the house the free wool bill was
taken up and Mr. McMillin's motion to limit

republicans and under the lead of Mr. Hurrowa
filibustering was inaugurated, and without ac
complishing anything the houso anally ad
journed. When the senate met on the 6th Mr. Wol
