zette. A Volcano at Sea.
Only last fall there was a strange oc
currence near the island of Pantellaria,
between Sicily and Tunis, which would
have filled the imagination of a Homer
or a Virgil with pictures of a supernat
ural monsters and poetical fancies about
the extravagant doings of the deities of
tho sea.
iY submarine volcanic eruption oc
curred there, and the inhabitants of the
island saw what seemed like some great
fish disporting himself in the troubled
water, while columns of smoke arose
around him.
Those who ventured near to the scene
in boats saw hot volcanic bombs, com
posed of black scoriaceous material,
rising to the top of the water and there
running and darting about in the most
singular fashion under the impulse of
the steam which they discharged. Some
bounded more than sixty feet up into
the air as the steam exploded.
Such outbursts of heated matter from
the bed of the sea furnish perhaps an
even more impressive indication than or
dinary volcanic eruptions do of the
strange conditions prevailing at
great depth beneath the surface of
earth. Youth's Companion.

the
An Antidote for Mosquito Bites.
The best antidote for the bite of a
mosquito undoubtedly is ammonia,
weakened vath a little water or salt
and vratef.--' Some people go so far
as to press the poison out of the
bite with some small metal instru
ment like the point of a watch key
before applying the antidote. This pre
vents the painful swelling that some
times occurs. As in other cases, "one
man's meat is another man's poison,"
and the same remedy will not apply to
all individuals. Some find camphor
most efficacious, and salt and water will
not avail. Ammonia, however, seems to
be generally successful as a neutralizer
of the mosquito poison. Where there
are large quantities of mosquitoes and
no reason for their appearance is appai--ent,
it is well to look about the premises
for something which attracts them. An
uncovered barrel of rainwater will
bring them in hordes, and damp places
and stagnant pools are spots where they
delight to congregate. Salem Gazette.
Hall Lightning.
"tiuring a severe thunderstorm Mon
day the " phenomenon of ball lightning
was seen in this village. An inspection
of the- locality shows that the ball was
located between a telephone wire and a
conductor pipe about three feet distant,
and was doubtless of the nature of an
electric brush preceding the disruptive
discharge. It was of a reddish color and
exploded with a report like a musket,
but did no damage, nor "was it attended
by any smell perceptible to those who
saw it. although they were distant not
more than five feet. Lyons (N. Y.) Cor,

Why They Iteg Newspapers.
Begging newspapers seems to b one
of the occupations of Gotham's small
boy, ami according to one of then
nrchins a iriMkl revenue is derived from
tho business. The practice is known tU
"Cau;tda business. " A gang of eight ot
ten boys besiege the entrance to the
bridge and elevated road every morning
and keep an argns eye on all jiersons
carrying newspapers. They stretch out
their arms asking for the newnpaieri
and often r.nll them out of the hands ol
piissers by.
The "newsies" are very, persistent,
and occasionally get into little snarl
with dyspeptic iersons who iret dowr.
town in bad humor. The temper of
trese peoiile might be intensified did
they know that, according to a confe
sion of one of the boys, a newsdealer of
a fqioculative turn of mind originally
put tho boj's up to the practice they fol
low. If the newspaiers are too much
soiled to sell, the boys turn them ovei
to the speculator, who holds them in re
serve, paying the lioys a pittance and
then realizing full value by handing
them over to the respective newspapers;
as "return and getting copies of the
current date for them.
The youngsters have learned his meth
od though, and most of them do the!
own "returning" as well as "ltegging
now. The practice is bad every way, as
it is fast converting the little hustlers
into indolent beggars. New York Com

"All's Well That Knds Well."
The Scotch, with unconscious absnrd-
y, sometimes talk of "tempting Prov
idence." In writing "All's Well That
Ends Well," Shakespeare was "tempt
ing" the higher criticism. Ever since
the days of Zenodotns in Alexandria the
higher critic ism has reveled in "athe-
tizing," or marking as spurious, this part
of an author s work because it is "on-

wormy oi nun, mat part because it is
"not in his style," a third portion be
cause it is a repetition of something he
has said elsewhere, and so on, till in
Homer there are few lines to wjich
some German or some Alexandrian
Greek has not urged objections. To
similar exercises of idle ingenuity ha?
"All s Well That Ends Well" been ex
posed.
When Lucian met Homer in the For
tunate islands, he asked the poet which
of the rejected passages were really his
own. "All and every one of them,'
answered the shade; and Shakespeare's
ghost might have made as inclusive a
response to critical inquiries. Yet "All
Well" is certainly a play full of difficul
ties and enigmas. It was first printed
in the folio of 1023, and very badlj
printed it was. None of the drama
contains so many passages that appear tr
be corrupt; none is so rich in the unin
telligible; none so open to conjectural
emendation. Andrew Lang in Harper's.
Crafty Master Fox.
A fox was one day seen coming out ol
a pile of stones near the water side.
He hid in the heather for awhile and
then pushed out something on the water,
which proved to be a bunch of moss.
The wind took it into the middle of the
lake and blew it past some ducks sitting
on the surface.
Having watched his venture for per
haps ten minutes with apparent satis
faction, and observed that it neared th
ducks without arousing their suspicions,
our friend liegan to collect another and
larger bunch of moss, which he allowed
to float in the same direction, but this
time he swam behind it, taking care to
show only his ejes and nose above
water.
Just a3 it was passing the group of
ducks he made a sudden dive, pulled
down a bird and swam back to shore
under water. Arrived there he carried
the duck to the pile of stones, where liia
wife and daughter were no doubt wait
ing to enjoy the fruits of his labors.

Immunity for the Fireflies.
Birds do not eat fireflies, and evet
bats, which seem to eat everything else
that they can chew or swallow, never
touch a lightning bug. There must be
something distasteful in this insect to
the feathered world, and thus the spe
cies is preserved, for if it were not so
lightning bugs would soon become ex
tinct. as the torch they carry would
only serve the purpose of attracting
their enemies.
It may be that the uncanny appear
ance of the insect, giving forth as i
does a brilliant flash of light every mo
ment or two, deters birds and bats from
attacking it, but if a lightning bug were
a toothsome morsel to a bird's bill, any
number of the feathered world would
soon overcome their repugnance to the
little living torch and go hunting foi
lightning bugs. St. Louis Globe-Demo

Wild Horses in Russia.
In the steppes of Russia, where wolves
abound and the horses lead a wild life
and have to shift for themselves, it is
said that a young colt will sometimes be
made so furious by the persecutions of
his enemies that he will rush wildly
among a drove of wolves and bite and
strike until he has slaughtered a large
number of them. These horses are ex
ceptionally fierce, rendered so, it is sup
posed, by the extreme variations in the
climate. At one time of the year they
suffer from the intense heat of a tropical
sun and at another they live among
raging snowstorms and extreme celd.

About Sulad !ranlng.
Every ono in New York who eat hal.nl
thinks that thero are a few people in
town who can make a fairly good salad
dressing, but that none of tlieni can como
up to the drussings made by him (the
thinker).
"I tell yon, nir," said Boggs, tho gour
mand, as he deluges the lettuce with
grease, "that fellow Snoggs thinks he
knows how to do this, but ho doesn't
have any more idea of it than a cow.
Think of it, he puts in more vinegar than
oil!"
At the same moment Snoggs is mixing
a dressing in another part of town and
snickering to himself as he remarks: "I
was very much amused tho other night
at the way Boggs did this. He actually
made a dressing without vinegar! Ha'.
Hal" and every one laughed.
Then there is Juggins, of West Thirty-
fourth street, who also has his peculiar
Views. "Any man," no declares, "who
puts mustard in a salad shows his igno
rance." Muggins, of East Sixty-seventh street,
also has decided convictions. "What do
you think," he roars out; "I saw Juggint
putting mustard in a salad dressing."
Then some put in sugar. Others think
this an awful absurdity. A few nso a
dab of Worcestershire sauce. Others
would rather be lynched than follow
their example.
Tho funny thing ia that thero is only
one way to make a salad dressing. That
is the way known to tho reader of this
article.
But the funniest thing is that tho same
diner out will devour the dressing mado
by Boggs and join in with his jokes at
the expense of tho dressings made by
Snoggs, Muggins and Juggins. Then the
same man will eat at the table of Mug
gins and apparently sneer with that per
son at the efforts of Snoggs, Boggs and
Juggins.
There's a lot of conceit and deceit
about salad dressings. New York Iler-

A Really A intent minded Woman.
An absentminded woman put herself
on record the other morning in a cross
town car, which she boarded at Sixth
avenue, bound east. She paid her faro,
said "Third avenue" to the conductor,
took a second nickel for her ticket on the
elevated, and, shutting her purse, gave
herself over to some evidently absorbing
thought.
The car was full of changing people,
as is usual with crosstown cars, ar-1 a
moment later the conductor, making his
round again, noticed the nickel and me
chanically reached for it. The wo-nan
gave it to him without a word and rode
on. Near 1; ourth avenue she suddenly
Btarted out of her reflections, glanced
around, saw that she was near her des
tination, took otit a third nickel to have
it ready and once more knit her brews
in meditation. Before Third avenue was
reached the conductor passed her again.
This time 6he proffered him the nickel,
which he would stolidly have taken save
for the intervention of an old gentleman
seated opposite.
"Madam," he said, "you have already
paid your fare twice."
The woman started and looked con
fused, then a light dawned on her face,
she thanked the gentleman, put her
nickel into her purse and the purse deep
into a mysterious pocket somewhere in
the back of her dress just as Third
avenue was reached. When last seen
she was hurrying up the Etairs strug
gling to fish the purse out in search of
the heretofore too convenient nickel.

They Found the Indians.
One night in the tent I heard a cow
boy tell this story: He was with a big
outfit moving cattle, and one day, some
where near the line separating Colorado
from New Mexico, they encountered a
settler's cabin which had been plunder
ed by Indians. The settler and his wife
and children had been killed. The fore
man was sent for, and he immediately
ordered that the cattle be allowed to
take care of themselves while the cow
boys went after the Indians. Three par
ties set out at once, one commanded by
the foreman and the other two by ex
perienced men. One party came back
in a day without finding any trace of the
Indians.
Another party came back in two days
without finding any trace of the Indians,
but at the end of the third day the third
party came back whooping and yelling
and firing off their pistols, they had found
the Indians, killed every one of them
and captured their ponies. Cor. Topeka

The Ice Invasion.
On both sides of the Atlantic equally.
the intercalation of fossilized forests
bears authentic witness to the sweeping
over the land of two great waves of ice
invasion. The trees manifestly grew
where the glaciers had been; again the
glaciers crept forward to constitute
themselves th sepulchers of the rrocs.
The second advance, however, ell short
of the first, and succeeded it at an un
known interval ol time. Opinions are
much divided as to its true significance.
Dr. Wright inclines to connect the "forest
beds" with merely partial oscillations of
the ica front. Edinburgh Review.
Fences in England.
English bar fences have the appear
ance of being bottom side up somewhat
as an x looks when inverted. But it is
all right; lumber is scarce there, and it
isn't necessary to have the bars so close
together up where the horses and cattle
are as down where the sheep and pigs
would be tempted to crawl through.
