A REMARKABLE ROCK.

The Swinging Block of Mount Tandll that Seems Fixed on a Flvot, The “swinging rock” of Mount Tandil, in the Argentine province of Buenos Ayres, is one of the mast remarkable features of South America, says an exchange. A gigantic block, twenty-two feet high, eighty-two feet long and fifteen feet broad, with a diameter of more than 4,500 cubic

feet, and weighing about 50,000 pounds, seems pivoted to its base by an invisible pin, and has a lateral mot on from east to west, produced by the wind, or- by the propelling strength of man. The rock is shaped like an irregular cone. When the wind begins to blow from the southeast it begins to rock to and fro in the air like the branches of a large tree.
