Horrible Explosion in Greek Waters.

By latter from Athens, July Stb, it
waters is scarcely safer than travelling
in Greece by land. On Monday, the
Sd Of July, the Greek Company's
steamer, the Eouomia, left the Piraus
to make the tour of the Peloponnesus.
having on board $50 passengers,
among whom were a newly married
couple bound for the Island Of Spezzia.
It was resolved at breakfast to fire, on
reaching that island, a salute III their
honor, and for the purpose of getting
powder, a man descended with a light
ed candle into the magazine underneath
the saloon, leaving the trap door open.
A little gil, the daughter of Colonel
Skuse, Commandant Of the Pir@us,
coming into the saloon, stumbled over
the trap-doOr, and the candle was up
set, horrible explosion being the result
The child and her father were two of
upward of forty whose chaTred remains
were recovered from the sea. The I'M
happy bridegroom rushed into q cabin,
from amid the smoke of which he car
red off what he believed was his bride,
and plunged with her into the water.
On being picked up by "a boat, however,
he found that he had rescued from
death young lady of Athens, and he
returned to the steamer to find his wife
burned to death The scene of this
terrible catastrophe was near the town
of Spezzia, the inhabitants of which
place crowded in their boats to the res
cue OF the surviving passengers. The
greatest Indignation was expressed
toward the Captain Of the Eouomia,
who did not think proper to run the
risk of landing at Spezzia, but conduct
ed his disabled vessel to SYRIA

A CARAT. What is a carat? The
carat is an imaginary weight that ex-
presses the fineness of gold, or the pro-
portion OF pure gold in a mass Of met
al thus, an ounce Of gold is devided
into twenty four carats, and gold TWEEN
ty-two carats fine is gold of which
twenty-five parts out Of twenty-four
are pure the other two parts being sill
yer, copper, or other metals; the weight
of four grains, used by jewelers. In
weighing precious stones and pearls, is
sometimes called diamond weight-the
carat consisting of four nominal grains,
q little Lighter than four grains troy,
seventy four and one sixteenth carat
grains being equal to seventy-two grains
troy The term or weight carat derives
it's name from bean, the fruit of an
Abyssinian Tree, called kuara. This
bean, from the time of it's being gath
cred, varies very little in its weight,
and seems to have been, from very
remote period, used as weight for
gold in Africa In India also the bean
is used as a weight for gems and pearls.

UNIQUE Way Of Storing FOod.

The ant-eating woodpecker (NelGn-
erpe8 forn1jcjvorous), a common Cali
fornian species, has a curious and pc
culiar method of laying up provisions
against the Indictment season. Small
round holes are dug in the bark of the
pine and oak, in each one of which is
inserted an acorn, and SO tightly is it
fitted or driven in that it is with diff
Guilty extracted. The bark of the
pine trees, when thus filed, presents at
short distance the appearance of
being studded with brass-headed nails
Slowed away in large quantities In this
manner, the acorns not only supply the
wants of the oodpecker, but the squir-
rels, mice and jays avail themselves
likewise of the fruits of proyident Ia
