EFFECTS OF A WAVE; A STEAMER STANDS HIGH AND DRY OVER TWO M!LES INLAND.

Tonrisis th;it visit H;it;ivia nowadays Hre iiile out of the fitshiou if they fail to in.iku the i.i.s.-,ao through SundA htrait and m.c all that is left of Krakatua ami the v'sli;es of the ruin wrought by the terriok i iiiition of 1882. If they pushup the I Jay of Lamjiong, on the Sumatra hile of the channel, they are likely to land on tho low shores occu pied by tho village of Telokh-Betong, and hire carts for a hhort jaunt into the inierior: and when they have gone about two miles they will pause to take in the curious scene presented; for here is seen one of the most interesting results of the great wave of Krakatau. There was j'.ist one man amid all that wild scene of death and devastation who was not overwhelmed in the common ruin. He escaped while 40.000 perished. He was the lighthouse keeper, who lived alone on an isolated rock in the 6trait. It wa3 broad daylight when Krakatau burst asunder, but in a few moments the heavens wew so densely shrouded by dust, mud and smoke that the darkness oT midnight covered all the channel The guardian of the lighthouse was in the lantern K50 feet above the sea level. Here he remained safe and sound in the midst of the terrible commotion. He felt the trembling of the light house, but it was 6o dark that he could not see the threatened danger. He did not know that a tremendous wave had almost overwhelmned the lighthouse, and that its crest had nearly touched the base of the lantern. He did not hear it because he was deafened by the awful detonation of Krakatua. In a few moments the wave, over a hundred feet in height, had swept along a coast line of a hundred miles on both Bides of tho channel. Scores of populous villages were buried deep lieneath the avalanche of water, lireat groves of cocoanut palms were leveled to the ground. Promontories were carried away. New bajTs were dug out of the yielding littoral. Every work of human hands except that lighthouse wa.s destroyed, and 40,000 persons per ished in the deluge that mounted from the sea ot eueath the rain of mud that tilled the I havens. A little hidewheel steamboat was borno on the top of that wave through forests and jungle, over two miles into the coun try, and as left as the wave receded, it will be remembered that for weeks before the final cataclysm at Krakatau, the volca.io was in a state of eruption. Pleasure trties were made up at Ba tavia to visit the volcano. Not a few people landed on the island, little dream iug that in the twinkling of an eye two thirds of it was to be blown into the air as though shot from a gun. They wished to get as near as they thought they might safely venture to the growling, steaming crater. This lutle steamboat, on the day be fore tho explosion, carried one of these parties to the island. There were only twenty on board besides the crew. They 6pent a couple of hours around the is land and then steamed up the deep and narrow Bay of Lampong, and it is sup posed the' anchored for the night in trout of the big town of Telokh-Betong, which was one of the largest settlements on the south coast of Sumatra. The ill fated pleasure party was never heard !' again. It is supposed that the boat was turned over and over like an eggshell in the surf. It had every ap pearance of buch rough usage when it ttas found some months later. The ma chinery and furniture were badly broken and were strewn about in the greatest confusion. But the vessel held together, and was finally set down in good shape, erect on her keel.' Only two bodies were found in the vessel. They were, of course, below deck. As it was morning when she was picked up by the wave it is supposed that nearly everybody was on : shore Not a vestige remains of the villages that lined the water edge. But the hulk of this little boat still stands, battered and broken, though as erect as when 3he plowed the channel, and 6he is the most curious and interesting relic of the greatest volcanic eruption of modern times. New York Sun. The Venom of Snakes. As to the venom of serpents, no dis tinct chemical principle has as yet been detected in it, though such there must be, seeing that the effect of the saliva of different poisonous snakes is different the blood coagulating after a fatal cobra bite, though not after that of a rattle snake or a viper. It has also been ascer tained that if the blood of a poisoned animal be injected into a healthy one the latter will be poisoned in the same way as if it had itself been bitten, al though its flesh may be eaten with im punity. It is a mistake, however, to suppose that a snake's poison can have no effect unless actually mixed with the blood. It will act after being absorbed through guch delicate skin as that which lines our lips, though its action when thus received is less powerful. Quarterly Review. An Important Amendment.

Frank" Agnssiu, the sole nurvivor of the cave in the Anaconda mine, is in the general ward at the Sister's hospital in this city. He nay he feels a little sorer on his right shoulder and left hip than when first taken out. This is ascribable to the muscular reaction after the terri ble strain of remaining fifty-five hours in a cramped position, his left leg don bled up On his breast There is also a ! pain in some of the internal organs. The I attending physicians at the hospital ap- l . i i :n I i. - 1 ;ii preneuu no in results, uiu nay ne win recover in a few days. His mind is not the least impaired, apparently. Agassin was born in Paris and came to this country in 1882. He had a siini lar exierience to his late one when work ing in a mine near Georgetown, Colo. He was caught in a drift by a fall of rock that kept him a prisoner six days before he was released. Then he had plenty of water, a3 there was a spring at the end of the drift where he was, and was not cramped as he was this time, having plenty of room to move about. Ho had no idea of the passage of time during his incarceration. When he found himself imprisoned, with no pos sible chance of escape except with the aid of others, he shouted several times, but getting no answer he concluded to keep quiet till he heard something. At intervals he could hear the rumble of cars passing on the level overhead. He made no call for assistance again until he heard the sound of his deliverers at work, when he called out, and to his great relief was answered. He has had an experience such as not one man in a million has survived, and from coming through two euch trials successfully may be said to bear a charmed life. Helena Journal. Suicide Prevented by a Dog. A noble shepherd dog, the property of Joseph Langin, has performed a remark able feat that entitles it to wear a medal for bravery. The brave animal plunged from the foot of Soulard street into the raging torrent of the Mississippi, and seizing a drowning man by the collar of his coat swam with him to the shore, thus saving him from certain death. The rescued man was Joseph Reinert, twenty-one years of age, who resides in the same house with Langin. Reinert had been playing cards with Langin. Some words passed between them, and Reinert, who had become very morose, vowed that he would commit suicide. He left the house and ran down to the river. Langin followed, but by the time he arrived at the levee Reinert had plunged into the water and was being swept rapidly from view. Langin was helpless to save him, as he could not swim, but his dog, who had followed be hind, plunged in and reached Reinert just as he was disappearing. St. Louis Republic. Long Distance Telephone Lines. The long distance telephone system has already attained large proportions in this country. Beginning two or three years ago, in an experimental way, through New England and New York state, lines were next run across New Jersey to Philadelphia and thence on ward to Baltimore and Washington. Until recently the line between this city and Buffalo was the longest in the world used commercially, being about 450 miles and giving excellent service. Be tween Boston and Pittsburg, via New York, communication is often had over 600 miles of circuit. A little while ago a trial was made between Newark and Boston, connecting through Philadel phia, Pittsburg, Erie, Buffalo and Al bany, giving about 1,000 miles. New York Telegram. Peculiarly Afflicted. One family in Utica is peculiarly af fected. They have hay fever in the house six months of every year. When the trees bud the wife comes down with it, and for two months she wheezes, sneezes and coughs night and day. At the end of the two months she lends the disease to her husband, who keeps it until the grass is ripe and haying be gins, at which time he transfers it to his sister, who is also a member of the family. For two or three years the family has been regularly visited by the disease, and now the coming of summer is hailed with anything but pleasure, for it brings misery with" it. Utica Obser ver. Dug His Way Out of Jail with Toothpicks. A Navajo Indian, arrested for theft at Gallup, N. M., was fed before being put in jail. While at dinner he provided himself with a couple of toothpicks. After incarceration, a few minutes' work with the toothpicks enabled him to loos en a piece of wood 2 by 4 that was stuck in the wall next to the cell door. This removed, a large rock about twen ty inches square dropped out of the wall into the main room of the jail, where he found an iron stove poker, which he used to pry off the inside door casing. This done, he was a free "Injun," and is still at large. Phcenix Herald. Paper Making at the World's Fair.

Tho Tama river, which he proposes to follow, is in habited along the lower part principally by the Wa-Pokomo, a race which sub sists by cultivation. The banks of the riyer being low, the country on Ixjth sides is annually inundated, and the river thus acts as a liberal fertilizer. Mr. Chanler has no easy tak before him, as some of the tribes to be passed in reaching Mount Konia have had their suspicious and hostility aroused by the harsh and barbarous course of the German explorer Dr. Peters. He will start early in June in company with Lieutenant Hohnel.of the Austrian navy, and Count Tolaki, with the object of careful scientific research and ob servation in that region. They will travel along the Tama river, resting for some weeks at the snowcapped moun tain of Kenia, where they will make astronomical observations. After ex ploring the mountain to its summit if possible they will plunge into the almost unknown regions of East Rudolph lake.. It was there that Baron Vecken was murdered, and that Reviol,.Respoli and Ferrendi failed in their efforts to accom plish their aims. The region abounds in warlike tribes. Mr. Chanler intends to enter the region from the west, after leaving Lake Ru dolph, and proceed along the Tubba river to the sea. He expects to bo ab sent about eighteen months. He will take with him his young servant, George Galmin, who accompanied him through Mashonaland. Mr. Chanler is full of hope and will go fully equipped for his perilous enterprise, which is expected to have most interesting and valuable re sults. Philadelphia Leader. A Tame Duckling. The extraordinary sight of a duckling that has just shed its shell following a young woman about the house with all the affection of a pet dog is a domestic wonder in the family of Mrs. Carr. Ever since Easter morn the neighbors have been dropping in to witness the spec tacle, and the fame of the singular at tachment has attracted attention among people who are interested in natural phenomena of every description. The little duckling has been in the family since Easter Sunday, when it was brought as a gift to Mrs. Carr's baby daughter, Serena, aged four years, who was delighted with her new pet. The duck at once struck up a long friendship for the domestic, Mary Mc Cullough, and has been the young wom an's constant companion ever since. Whenever Mary speaks the duck re sponds with the piping salutation and waddles after the young woman wher ever she goes. The most astonishing thing about this freak of nature is tliat if any other inmate of the household attempts to induce it to answer, the webfooted prodigy maintains a solemn silence, but Mary has only to utter a word when the quacking begins and is kept up until she has ceased speaking. Philadelplua Times. Mary's Claim. A little girl is reported to have died near the imaginary line in Oklahoma which divided the recently opened res servations from the remainder of the territory just as the signal was given for the grand rush for lands. The child and her father were alone and unknown, but I the beauty of the one and the still, deep grief of the other moved the strong men of the frontier to acts of admirable sym pathy. A runner on a swift horse located a homestead, and returning placed the father of the dead girl in possession of it. The body of the child was trans ported to the claim and buried upon it. Afterward it was discovered the re maining one of the unfortunate couple was absolutely penniless, and a purse of money was given him with the hope tliat the claim will prove a haven of rest to him and that the homestead shall al ways be known as "Mary's claim." Duluth Tribune. Death from Ingrowing Toe KalL Some time ago there was published the story of the death of a Long Island physician from blood poisoning result ing from an ingrowing toe nail. A well known surgeon chiropodist said the other day to the reporter: "The death of that Long Island doctor is not the first I have heard of from the same cause. "The cause of the disease is common and painful and usually directly trace able to narrow toed shoes. It causes pain as severe as a toothache and not infrequently, when neglected, results in blood poisoning. I know of an opera tion for ingrowing toe nail in an English hospital where the patient suffered so much pain that they gave him a mixture of ether and chloroform. The operation was successful, but when it was finished the physicians found that their patient had died from the chloroform." New York Sun. To Preserve an Alpine Flower. The diet of the Tyrol last week passed a bill imposing heavy fines upon persons found selling any sample of the beauti ful but rare Alpine flower called edel weiss, which has been pulled up by the roots on the mountains. A similar act was passed seven years ago by the diet of Salzburg, with a view to the preserva tion of the edelweiss plant, which is threatened with extinction in the Aus trian Alps. In the Salzburg district the success of this legislation is, unfortu nately, not encouraging. Great Season for Herrings. The herring fishing season on the Sus qnehanna river is finished, and the catch has been unprecedented. The pack will amount to'over 60,000 barrels of salted fish. The season open April 8 and closed May 10, One fisherman caught 100 bar rels of the fish with a dipnet in the out let lock of the. canal. It has been no un common thing this season to take 200, QQQ herring at a haul of one of the large seines, which, when paid out, encircles three-quarters of a mile or more of water area. Cor.
