notecl (JO days between Jul' 18, 1877,
and November -'3, 1878, on which one

the unusually large number of 12 vol
canic eruptions at places far apart and
mostly from little-known volcanoes', and
10.1 earthquakes, though this enumera
tion includes as units many complete
periods. One earthquake at Tauna
lasted four weeks; in Catania the ground '
trembled almost continuously from Oc-,

China had its turn June 29-July 11,
with aftershocks of sutlicient violence,
though not nearly so destructive in
August and September. There wero
very serious eruptions and shocks ex
tending over a large area in Central
America soon at or the new car, after
which the great center of volcanic ac
t'vily was comparatively quiescent. In
tho FacitJc there wero disturbances in
the early part of the year, culminating
m uie cnipwou i ivi.auca in o uue.
Rut it was in 1880 that the scries of
seismic convulsions which had been
taking place in Europe since early in
1879 reached their climax. On tho oOlh
of December, 1879, several smart shocks
wcte let throughout Switzerland. A
month later similar manifestations took
place in Germany and Italy. February
(5 Vesuvius was in fu'-l action and four
days later iEtna .syinpnlhi.id, as did the
mud craters at I'alcruo. Almost week
ly came reports of convulsions in vari
ous parls of Europe, Portugal, Spain
and Fiance, and. cspcciajly, Italy and
Switzerland, the manifestations of seis
mic force becoming more frequent and
forcible, and extending over a wider
area as autumn came on, until a culmi
nation was reached in the terrible con
vulsions of November 9-22, affecting all
southeastern Europe from Venice to tho
Rlack Sea, Uohcniia to the Ilalkans.
At tho Croatian capital, Agram, was the
greatest damage done. Though there
wore few lives lost, hardly a building in
tlio town remained uninjured, tho dam
age amounting to several millions of
florins. Hot springs burst out of the
earth, and two active mud volcanoes
were formed. Jt is curious to note that
while Vesuvius had been showing par
ticular activity during each of the earli
er periods, and so late as the fortnight,
October 2G-Jovcniber 10, during tho
Agram manifestations it remained near
ly quiescent.- It may be added that on
the Sd of February, 1SS1, Agram was
again visited by an earthquake. Japan
where, by tho way, a most valuable
series of obssrvatton has been taken
experienced two scvero earthquakes
one at Tokio in December, 1879;
another in February, 1SS0 (Yoko
hama. 22d; Tokio, 2atb), the most vio
lent felt since tho country -had been
opened to foreigners. On the "Alert,
which was anchored in the harbor, it
was thought Shat tho vessel was
dragging her anchor in a squall. At
the beginning of May the earthquake
season opened in Asia Minor, the vil
lage of Helcddi, near Sinope, being en
gulfed by the sea so that not a trace of
its buildings remained. Rut tho con
vulsions reached their height toward
Ihe end of duly (July 2S-August 4)
when Smyrna and the surrounding
places suffered enormously. In one
town. Menemen, of 1,140 houses, 665
were demolished, and the seven mos
ques and churches were laid in ruins.
In the six neighboring villages, of 900
houses, baroljrhalf a dozen were left
standing. The earth opened in 1G0
places to vomit for throe hours floods
of green water; the Hermus.sank three
feet below its usual level; tho streams
of the Gipyla rauge lost four-fifths of
their water, lyhile at Bournabat the
Jong-dried fountains flooded the plain.
Alniost-at the same time (July 13-24)
the Philippine Islands became the
scene of notable convulsions. At Ma-
H"Uanot' a single public edihee was
iparcd; the inhabitants "were forced to

3i feet almost in a moment, and sank
again as suddenly. The shocks, sonic
lasting more than a minute, were fell
all over the Island of Luzon; the vol
canoes started into activity; tho earth
opened to emit hot ashes and jets of
boiliug water. In September violent
shocks threw down pagodas anil light
houses mi ir Rangoon and along tho
coast of Java. In America this mani
festations wero unusually numerous
ami violent, beginning at San Salvador
January 1-10. Ilopnngo was destroyed
and iLs lake, the crater of an extinct
volcano, boiled up with mud and sul
phurous vapors, a crater being event
ually formed in its center. On the -1th
the boiling lake in Dominica burst into
frcih activity, and toward the elosc ol
the month all western Cuba was visited
severely General Grant's earth
quake." On the 1st of February severe
shocks were felt at Vttelta Abajo and
in Mexico; on the lUh, a volcanic criiji
tion in Santo Domingo had an echo in
the shapes of a sm.'frl Ircm'tlcmcnl in the
Ottawa vallcv. On the 1 1th of Anril
San Francisco experienced the heaviest
hliock known for years. .June sj me
eruption of the volcano del Fuego in
Guatemala marked the commencement
of an era of terrible activity. A column I
of ilame .shot up to the height of .100
feet, throbbing with strong regular i
pulsations for nearly two hours, at in- J
lervals of lift' seconds; the River Gua- I
calatu rose suddenly and ran warm. I
July 2u much damage was done to New
Amsterdam and other parts of Guiana,
and August 1 1 a terrible convulsion
visited Chili, though, happily, the loss
of life was not proportionate to its
severity. The shock w.is felt on the
highest points of the Andes, where the
telegraph wires were broken and thrown
down, and at Mendoza. east of the Cor
dilleras, earthquakes occurred on the
ltith and l'Jth snch aa had not been
known since 1861. Jt was about this
time that an earthquake was felt In the
Azores, followed by the emergence
from the sea of a new island of 18,000
square yards area. With the horrors
of the earthquake at Casamicciola in
the iirst week of Ilarch our readers are
familiar.

House-Cleaning.
Tho question comes, whero shall we
begin and what must be done? Every
housekeeper, whether old or young,
dreads this general tearing up, for no
matter how systematically and carefully
it may be carried on, it always causes
more or less inconvenience to the fami
Iv. However, when all is finished, ev
erything is thoroughly cleaned and the
house is in order again, how delightful
it is!
Where shall we commence? The at
tic, storerooms and closets should bo
attcuded to first; by so doing, they are
all ready to receive stoves, clothing and
other things which have to bo packed
away for the .summer. Next should
come the rooms in the upper part of the
house, working down, and leaving the
halls and basement until the last.
When there is painting, papering and
calcimining to be done, of course it is
better to plan to have as much done as
possible while the men are at the house.
:ls it causes delay and lo.s to have them
come several times. When ceilings be
come black and stnoKcl tm'eis papered
or painted it is ditlicult to do anything
with thent. If they are culciuMicd or
whitewashed i In only thing Ut do is to
have them rclmi-hed. Painted or pa
pered ceilings and wa'ls may be cleaned
very nicely. Any one who has never
tried to clean paper would be surpri-ed
to find how nicely it can be done with
stale bread. To clean the. paper of a
room requires quite a number of loaves
which must be procured from the baker
and ought to be from three to four
days old. Cut off tho crust -or dried
parts around tho sides of a loaf, then
divide it through tho center, leaving
the whole upper crust on one half and
the lower crust on the other, divide
these into pieces or rubbers, four to six
inches square, each having a solid crust
back. Hub the paper, commencing on
a small place, rubbing round arid round;
gradually moving a little farther and
farther to tho right or left, as the paper
becomes clean. If the bread is too
moist it is liable to streak tho paper,
and all the rough edges must be cut off
or they will leave scratches. This
same process may also he used for
painted walls or thev can be washed.
For plain, unvarnished, painted walls
put one-half teacup of washing soda
into a pail of warm water. Use a
sponge or soft woolen cloth rung out of
the water, with gootl soap rubbed on
it. Wash a small place at a time and
wipe dry, being careful not to allow the
water to run down the wall, as it would
leave streaks. There is an oily sub
stance in coal smoke, which adheres to
rough paint and it is impossible to re
move it without something stronger
than soap. The salsoda can be ttced on
common unvarnished wood-work, also
where the smoke has settled into the
paint.
After carpets have been thoroughly
shaken and tacked down, sweep with
dampened corn meal or wipe with a
cloth rung out of water. If they are
very much soiled they can be washed
and made to look almost like now. Put
two tablcspoonfuls of ammonia into a
pail two-thirds full of quite warm wa
ter; first wipe a yard squaro of carpet
with a woolen cloth, then scrub with a
brush, not too wet, and good soap;
wipe with a dry cloth, "rubbing it
lengthwise. It is well to try one corner
to sec that the colors do not fade.
Almost all carpets can be treated in this
way, but too much ammonia may
change blue or a certain shade of yel
low. Ox gall brightens and sets col
ors very nicely, and can be used instead
of ammonia wheic the latter is not de
sirable. To remove the smoke from marble
mantels iiia'e a paste of a very strong
solution of sal-soda and whiting; rub
over the surface and allow it to stand
several hours, then wash oil. This
takes out the stains much better than
sapolio. which, by constant use, de
stioys the polish of tho marLle. The
grates and facings which have become
defaced may be blackened with a var
nish sold for the purpose, or taken oil,
sent to the works, burned over and ro
japnuncd. Engravings and pictures
which have become smoked and soiled
can bo taken out of the frames and
cleaned with stale bread the same as
paper. Cor. Cleveland Ltwlcr.
The Horse.

A Talc or Tho Coats.
Tho other day when the bluebird
sang, tho robins chirped, and hired
girls began to clean out kitchen wood
boxes, (IcorgeCarringlon Lanc.ayoung
man with long hair aiid stalely carriage,
went to a tailor and was measured for a
coat.
The eioth wa broa'!.
Ami v wa the price;

The lit was to In nice.
Hut it wasn't. That is. the tailor said
it was the best fit lie ever saw. and
Ccorge vowed that ho wouldn't lo
found dead with such a garment on.
Thev argued, reasoned, threatened and
bluffed. Imd the distiller finally took
the tailor and stood him on his head,
threw his goose and shears out of Uio
window, and was about to make a pn
ciishion of the poor apprentice, when
tho police interfered.
Is the tailor pieseiit as a witness?"
asked the Court, after thecae had been
outlined.
I am dot tailor," answered a little
man on the second row of chairs as he
stood up.
Very well; conic foward and tell
your story."
Well, sir, mv grandfather he comes
to America oaf or fifty vears a.;o."
And was ho Iiungr''
"Oh. no."
Well, then, wc don't want to hear
auy more about him. This man ordered
a coat of vou. did he?"
Ovacfly."
What sort of a coat?"
Vhcll. I doaii like to brag all dor
time; but dot coat tit bin shut like a
vheel tits a wagon."
That is, it wobbled all round on
him?"
'Not much! It was dor bojt fit I ercr
saw. If you look all day jou couldn't
find a wrinkle."
"Judge, that coat seemed to bo cut
after the pattern of a schooner's jib,"
protested the prisoner. "The sleeves
were too short, the tails too lo;i'. it was
loose in the back and tight under the
arms, and a drayman could have done
as well with his jack-knife."
Well, you should have walked out
and left the garment on his hands.
When you picked him up and turned
hint end for end and stood him on his
head among the scrapsyou transgressed
the law."
"I presume so, bat I was mad."
"So vhas I." put in the tailor. " If I
could have got hold of him I make somc
mince-meat pooty queck!"
"I must now fit you with a second
coat. This may not i et any better than
tho other, but it's the best I can do. I
shall make it ten dollars line or thirty
days in the block-house."
Dot's shplendid dot's bully!"
chuckled the tailor.
"You go home!" was the stern re
buke. "And remember." whispered the
prisoner, "when I come out of thejii
Fm going to mop you all over Detroit!'
"You couldn't mop two sides of iiio!"
hissed the tailor in 'reply; but he was
very pale and his chin had a lively

Mr. Ramon Ycrea, a Spanish resident
of New York, has been devoting his
leisure hours for several years in ilovel
opinga machine that will multiply ami
divide, and has finally succeeded. It
will produce a product having fifteen
figures, and the factors may be of nine
or less than six figures. A turn of a
small crank once for each figure in the
multiplier displays tho product on a
disk. The work" i almost instantane
ous and the aorurnuy of it unimpeacha
ble. Tho machine consists of ten cir
cular plates placed vertically, and on
the edge of each are figures from 1 to
9 inclusive and zero. On the sides of
these plates are points which form in
substance a multiplication table. Sup
pose 9 is to be multiplied by f. The
first plate is turned so that nine shows
on top: the other factor is then shown
on a wheel belonging to a similarset as
those on which nine is shown. When
the crank is turned tho multiplicand
plato turns six-ninths of a revolution
and a point on the fourth concentric
circle of points on the side of the plate
is presented on one side, and a pouU on
the fifth concntric oirclo on the other.
These two points meet each a small
tongue which operates upon the prod
uct box, where tho resu t is directly
shown. Tho mechanism by which tho
product is recorded is too complicated
to admit of a description except at
great length. There are a series of
wheels worked upon, each of them
graduated as to size and shape with
the concentric circles on the plates.
It might be said that in the mul
tiplication the additions necessary
are made simultaneously with the mul
tiplication. For example, multiplying
o(j by 7 the process is 7 times 6 am 42,
7 times Tt are :o and 1 are :!U ptoduct,
.'192. With the machine tho work is
instnntaneous. When the wheel i.s
turned tljo record is first made of 42
and then of '.to. The figure in tho last
place of 3o, that is tho 5. is at onco
added to tho figure in tho place of the
tens of the other number, and the en
tire product "bobs up .serenely" as the
crank completes the revolution. If tho
multiplier were a double number, say
5(i by 27. another turn of the crank
would mako the multiplication and
addition complete. To prove the oper
ation pressing a button throws into
gear a new set of wheels, and a turn of
the crank reduces all tho numbers in
the product box to zero. Should zero
not at onco appear it would prove the
original operation was wrong.
Mr. Ycrea explains that he did not
make, the machine either to sell its pat
enter to put it into use, but simply to
show that it was possible and that u
Spaniard cm invent as well as an Amer
ican. A number of te-ts that were
made in tho presence of a Herald re
porter and other visitors wero con
ducted with facility and accuracv. The
operation of multiplying 900,003 by
9,000 wto correctly performed by the
machino while the reporter and an ac
countant wore trying to write out the
product which they 'had already arrived
at by a. mental process X. Y. Ilcrald.
A bachelor too poor to get married,
yet too susceptible to let the girls
alone, was riding with a lady "all of a
snmmer's day," and accidentally
men's arms, awkward things! are ever
in the way dropped an arm round her
waist. o objection was made for a
while, and the arm gradually relieved
the sido of the carriage of the pressure
upon it. But of a sudden, whether
from a late recognition of the impro
priety of the thing, or the sight of an
other beau coming, never was known,
the lady started with volcanic energy,
and with a flashing eye, exclaimed,
"Mr. 1?., 1 can support myself!" "Cap
ital!" was the instant reply. You are
just the girl I have been looking foi
theso five years. Will you marry -me?"

"Stop, stop!" said he, at the occur

Hish Art in Laramie,
Yesterday a man came into the Jioom
crany office with the wild, hunted look
of a married man whose wife has two
majority in the Houe and full control
of the Senate.
After he had heaved a sigh as largo
as a box car. and scratched his back on
tho oriental hat rack, he asked it" he
might hao a word with the high-art
editor.
A pensive blonde, with his feet in tho
waste-paper basket. wa pointed out to
him, and the domestic minority poured
out his woes:
" I s'poso you manage the fresco busi
ness for this periodical, and you want
to bring art, and frill, and home deco
rations up to a high standard. Well,
my wife is some on homo decorations
herself, and what 1 wanted was a sug
gestion once in awhile from your paper
that would seem to tone her up and ele
vate her ta-tcs, as it were. She i.s away
behind. I want to try and discourage
her from plastering the shanty with
Michael Angelo paintings that conic oil
from peach cans and tobacco pails. It
clashes a little to have a plaster cast of
Shakespeare in one corner of the room,
anil a picture peeled oft" a baked bean
can in tho other. It brings poetry and
grub too elose together. My idea is
that icstheties and cold chuck should
not be brought into immediate contact
in art. They don't harmonize. That's
why I told Amanda not to hang Moses
in the Hulrushcs' contiguous to her
painting of a Magnolia ham. Last week
she got hornswoggled into buying soinu
Japanese tidies of a leading brick-a-bracker.
lie told her they were the
latest thing in tidies, and .sho bought
seveti for twenty-one cents. Wo have
only three chairs that aro able to
be out. anywav, and one of them is
foundered pretty bad. so four of the
tidiest had lo be nailed up on the wall.
Tho perspective in these tidies is very
bad. Another thing, the red flannel
dado on the sky don't suit inc. Then
the sand-hdl crane is bigger than the
pagodii, or the corral, or whatever it Is
and tho firo-riackor funny business is
bail for sore eyes. I, have" brought one
of the tidies along. It speaks for itself.
Imagine a man coming home tired and
hungry and sitting down on a tidy that
has the scarlet fever. Think of a homo
made desolate w.th a howling wilder
ness of stump-tail storks standing on
one foot and tning to think of a big
word. Put yourself in mv place, and
try to imagine a home filled with night
mare of red wash bills with picturesque
Japanese Congressmen in their shirt
tails, as it were, drinking tea out of
majolica washbowls. I am not a hard
mau to plcv.se, hut 1 feel as though
something ought to be done. Of course
it wouldn't do for me to suggest a
change to my wife directly, because she
would put a symphony in navy blue and
sage green on my brow wilh a gothic
iiotato-masher, but if the leading paper
in the country should coma out. you un
derstand, and say that there had been
a change, ami that blue-tailed snipes
and bow-legged Chinamen bail gone out
of style, anuwarm meals and porter
house steak were growing in favor,
with a leaning towanl ham aud eggs as
home decorations. L think that perhaps
the old woman might tumble to the
racket."

above interview. Wc want to do all

Sheep That Travel.
Traveling sheep are another of the
institutions of the colony in Southern
Australia. In a pastoral country like
this there must of necessity always bo
numbers of "stock" changing hands;
thus sheep and cattle may be met al
most every day passing from one sta
tion to another, lly law. sheep arc
compelled to travel six nflles per
day; catt'e. nine miles; and horses
twenty. Sheep - aro often met with
traveling for "feed," that i.s. the
owners thereof, having over stocked
their runs find the grass failing; so
they send a largo mob of sheep off
to some imaginary buyer, somc hun
dreds of miles off. choosing of course
the route by which they will pick up
most grass. After .saimtcrihg along for
a month or two. perhaps the rain has
come; and there being now plenty of
grass, the sheep are brought homo by a
roundabout way. Sheep of that style
are known as "loafers;' because the
drovers try to go as short a distance as
possible each day. All kinds of stock
are branded for identification. Cham

foreign country. True, the landscape
is not unlike our Knglish rural land

farmhouses and bui'dings are like mot
others we knowj but there Is dawning
a difference. For insttnee. in England

invariably blue blouc, which dots the
view with a bit of refreshing color.
He just stops in plowing or wagon

ceive that ho is spare-made, harp
fcatured, generally bearded, but hai a
neatness of costume and intelligence of
face rather beyond Hodge's. It sets bi
moralizing and specnlatinjr on his daily
life what sort of a cottage or hovel be
lives in; what kind of people are hit
wife and children; and whether, sup
posing we were to drop in epos them
at their supper to-nizht, we should in
the least understand them, or thev us in
