The rain falling on the rocks sinks into every crack and crevice, carrying with it Into these 11- -lirea surface rnato rial which has been degraded by tbe weather and thus affording a matrix •u!ti< Sent to start the growth of vegetatiuu and afterward to nl.iintinn tin plants. The Übers and roots of llie.'C plants, buahes and tree; th..< brought Into life, gr >wlng and ■ ndlug, Mt is wedges to split up tbe surface ci lie rock and to coniaicu -e the process .if wearing away, l-’roiu thia quality jf destruction a large class of plantr lerive the name of saxifrages, or rock breaker.-, from their roots peneiratinp into tbe minute f. mres in search o' water and so assisting in the proces, jf disintegration. In winter the watei culieeted in the hollows and crevicet bceoux i frozen and. expanding ns h changes into ice, acts l.ke a charge of blasting material In breaking up the rock. Tbe pieces thus detached be come further disintegrated by frost ami weather and, being rolled over and over and rublied against each other as they are carried away down the mountain torrents, are ground gradually smaller and smaller till from frag incuts cf rock they become bowlders, then pebbles ami finally sand.

THE GARDEN OF EDEN. Lta Location n Hyatery That Will Probabl) \v%<r Dr Solved. The location of the earthly paradise or garden of I-i len Is still a matter of dispute among orientalists and Scriptural scholars of highest reputation. S >me tiave endeavored t» locate it by the fruits aud mineral productions named In tbe Biblical descriptions as they ap pear in tbe se* and chapter of Genesis; others l y tbe rivers menti >ned in verses 11 to I I of the above mentioned ch liter. The weight of investigation and tradition inclines to an agreement t’i-t l’ 'i ic . I the E'lpi '.'te- of m >.!< iti ;;e-gniphy tire the third and four:U rivers menti in-d In tbe Biblical description of tbe garden. Those whe agree so far differ widely ns to what rivers simtild n ;w be regarded as thf an'-ieiit Bison and Glhon. The Bud dfilsbc si-hokars. although they rejecl out r.ible iu the greater part, incline to Ute opinion that the I'isou Is the sacred Ganges, ami that the Gibon is none other then the Nile, As to the last, it It; altogether probable that they are correct on that point. liecuus" tbe Bibli cal account plainly says that Glhon "couipuHsetii tbe whole land of Ethiopia.” Boms Investigations confirm that Eden was a spot of comparatively - •mall area ks-ansl on the tablelands of i what Is now Armenia, from which rise ' the Tigris and tbe Euphrates. A few | scholars of distinction argue that the 1 Adamic paradise was locate-] in Africa i In the v eiulty of the mountains of the ■ Moon. Still another school of orientalists I.x ate the celebrated garden iu the .dcluity of Ike am lent city of Babylon. I You will notice, however, that none' of these theorists has bcm able to get I the four rivers mentioned in the Bib j Heal account properly located. Neithet have they found a place where one greet river ■ separates Into four headl.’ 1 . This being the ease, It is hardly nocra | sarj- to add that the exact location o* Eden a mystery that will probably j never be solved. Tbe Scott ol lite Middle V«e«.
