THE TERRIBLE BATHOLlTE.
Molten Rock That Bares Upward
Through the Earth's Crust.
Batholite is a term invented by the
great German geologist Eduard Suess
to describe the gigantic Intrusions of
molteu rock which, accordiug to him.
bore their way upward through the
crust of the earth from the "eternal
depths" below, cutting through the
strata and folds of the mountains very
much as a white hot solderiug iron
may be thrust through a plank, burn?
ing its way across the grain of the
wood as if It were cheese.
These batholites lurk deep in the
earth, where the temperature is thou?
sands of degrees, and gradually melt
their way to the surface above them.
Generally they issue In the form of
tremendous domes of hot rock, tower?
ing up to mountain heights and often
giving birth to volcanoes. When a
batholite. as sometimes happens, does
not reach the surface Its root opens
In a network of Hsaures, lava pours
out and a whole group of volcanoes
appears at that point.
Suess has recognised Hie remains of
many cooled bat homes on uiriotis
parts of the earths surface, and no
says that the consolidated ? r.w oi tin*
earth, even at the pre**oul day, nmv
be exposed to these mighty iutt'ttsi n
from below. The bnthoiltes bring up
with thetn many metals from the in
terior of the planet, and rich mines
are often opened In the dikes that are
thus formed.
Suess describes the rock about Bon I
der, Colo., as an ancient batholite,
which covers 5,000 square kilometers
of surface. But there are others still
more prodigious in extent.
Sometimes they have been worn
down nearly to the general level, but
near Elkhorn the old batholite yet
towers up to an elevation of 9,000 feet
above the sea. The diamond dikes of
Bouth Africa have thus been thrust up
from the profound depths of the earth,
where there exists a laboratory of na?
ture In which she performs what seem
miracles to the petty Inhabitants of
the planet's surface.
The face of the moon shows us most
clearly what batholites are capable of.
The vast circular plains ringed with
steep mountains, which muke Its sur?
face so marvelous to look upon with a
telescope, hnve. according to this view,
been farmed by intrusion** of colossal
batholites. and Suess calls them by
the startling name of "sme'tlng fur?
naces'?furnaces thousands of square
miles In extent?in which the frame
of that little world has been melted
and dissolved like a snow bank lying
In the path of a flow of molten Iron.
And If we could remove the sedi?
mentary accumulations of ages from
the face of our world, says this aston?
ishing German savant, we might find
now hidden under our feet a network
of the seared skeletons of ancient
batholites, grander than any on the
moonl?Garrett P. Servlss in New

OCEAN WAVES.
Curious Facts About the Irregularities
of the Tides.
To the ordiuary landsman tides along
the coast are most puzzliug. lie has
been taught that the tides rise aud
fall twice in the twenty-four hours
and that this depeuds in some myste?
rious way upon the moon. But when
it occurs that in his travels he sees a
spot along the shore where there is
no tide at all he Is at a loss to ex?
plain the phenomenon.
To be exact, there is ouly one ocean
in the world where the tides follow
the moou with absolute regularity.
This is the great Antarctic basiu, and
the reason is that there and there ouly
is to be found a sweep of witter en?
tirely uninterrupted by land. The
enormous wave raised by the moon's
attraction courses round the world
south of Cape Horn aud the Cape of
Good Hope with absolutely nothing to
break it. In the northeru hemisphere
great masses of land interrupt the tidal
W?ret and. combined with the shal
lowness of inland seas, cause them to
perform antics that seem most strange.
The depth of water has much to do
with tidal irregularities. Out in the
open ocean, when the tide is abyssmal
?that is, about 5,000 fathoms?the
?peed of the waves is amaziug. Where
the depth decreases to live fathoms the
tide travels at a comparatively slow
rate. In England, for example, which
is surrounded by narrow, land broken
seas, the result is that the Britons get
some of the most terrible and danger?
ous tidal races and currents.
The most formidable is the whirl?
pool between the island of Jura aud
Scarba, on the west coast of Scot?
land. This is known as the "Caldron
of the Spotted Seas." Here is a race
running at a speed to be matched ouly
by n mountain torrent. The force of
a heavy tidal current pushing up a
wide mouthed river causes what Is
termed I "bore." The most striking
example of this tidal feature is seen
00 the Amnion, a moving wall of wa?
ter thirty feet high and reaching from
bank to bank rushing inland from the
ocean.- New York Tribune.

A STORY OF MEISSONIER
The Painter's Two Breakfasts With ?
Stingy Art Patron.
MeissonJer once got acquainted with
t Parisian grandee, very wealthy, very
.*ond of posing as an art patron, but
slightly penurious. One day Meisso
nier, breakfasting with the grandee,
was struck by the beauty of the tex?
ture of the tablecloth. "One could
draw upon it," he remarked, and, suit?
ing the action to the word, he produced
a pencil and made on the smooth,
snowy nap a wonderfully able sketch
of a man's head. The particular table?
cloth in question never went to the
wash. The "economical swell" had
the head carefully cut out of the dam?
ask and hastened to frain > and glaze
his prize. A few weeks afterward
Mcissonler again breakfasted with his
patron and found by the side of his
plate at the corner of tb.3 table assign?
ed to him a neat little sheaf of crayons
and holders, with a penknife and some
India rubber.
While the guests, at the conclusion
of the repast, were enjoying their cof?
fee and cigarettes the host saw with
delight "from the corner of his eye"
that Messonier was hard at work on
the tablecloth, this time with a su?
perb little full length of a mediaeval
halberdier. The party broke up, the
guests departed, and the "economical
swell" rushed back to the dining room
to secure his treasure. But, alas, the
painter had for once shown himself
as economical as his patron! He had
made disastrously good use of the pt j
knife, and one corner of the tablecloth
was gone, halberdier and all!
Bismarck on the Throne of France.
Bismarck on the throne of France!
Bismarck was once spoken of lr that
connection, and by Napoleon too! It
was during the detention of the de?
throned emperor at Wilhelmshohe In
1871, when Napoleon and some mem?
bers of his staff were discussing the
probability of Napoleon reascending
the French throne and news of the do?
ings of the commune was brought in.
"Horrible?too horrible!" exclaimed
le petit empereur.
And then after a long silence he re?
sumed, "I know a man who if on the
French throne would be master of
Germany In six months."
"His name, sire?" asked his nephew.
Prince Murat
"Bismarck," replied the emperor as
be turned on his heel.
A Curious Barometer.
A curious barometer Is said to be
used by the remnant of the Arauca
nlan race which Inhabits the southern?
most province of (.'bile. It consists of
the castoff shell of a crab. The dead
shell Is white In fnir, dry weather, but
the approach of a moist atmosphere Is
Indicated by the appearance of small
red spots. As the moisture In the air
increases the shell becomes entirely
red and remains so throughout the
rainy season.
A Fine Distinction.
A small boy in the village school
when writing a composition on "Quak?

never claw and never scratch." Then
he added. "Paw is a Quaker, but 1
really don't think maw is."?Delinea?
