CURED in Goodyear's Indian rubber
works at Naugatuck, Conn.,, which OF.
iginated in All unheard.of manner. In
the proofs of loss the claimants make
the following remarkable statement {:
The superintendent, who was iu the
room where the fire originated, and at
the time, states that while one of the
workmen was handling rubber goods
the air seemed to be charged with
electricity, it being in the midst of =
violent snow storm, the mercury mean
while being at or near zero then there
seemed to come from his hands flame
which instantly communicated with
the goods and dry pine of the building
the tire being under their control for n
moment. Others III the neighborhood
received severe shocks OF electricity on
that day in their houses.

"The dyke has given way~ Rudolph

gone. The sea in q wide smooth stream,
was sweeping in upon the low lands.
Tho boat in which Rudolph had come on

lay near him, he tossed them into boat,
lowered himself by q rope, and before q
question could be asked him, had cast her
loose and was sculling toward the Very

Margaret Van Merwede slept calmly in
her quiet chamber. Once she swoke to
hear the roaring Of the tempest and to
feel the old castle tremble beneath the
shock. But she crossed herself and went
to sleep again. Then she dreamed that

The MOdOc Lava Red.

Jesse Apologize, writing to the Port
land (Oregon) Bulletin, gives the fol-
lowing descri ption of the lava bed in
which the hostile Modoc Indians are
now intrenched
The stronghold of the Modoc Indians
is "pedregal "of the most extensive
and elaborate description-ani irregular
volcanic surface Of basalt, trachyte,
&C., more or less broken into upheav-
ais from below, and cracked and fissur
ed in the process of cooling. It occu.
pies, with but few intervals, nearly 100
square miles. If you can imagine a
smooth, solid sheet of granite, 10 miles
square, and 500 feet thick, covering
resistless mines of gunpowder, scatter:
ed irregular intervals under it; that
these mines are exploded simulta-
neously, rendering the whole field into
rectangular masses, from the size of a
MATCHBOX to that of church,
heaping these masses very high
IN some places, and leaving deep
chasms in Others. Following the ex-
plosion, the whole thing is placed in
one of Vulcan's crucibles, and heated
up to point when the whole begins to
fuse and run together, and then suffer.
ed to cool. The roughness of the up
per surface remains as the explosion
left it, while all below is honey-combed
by the cracks and crevices caused by
the cooling Of the melted rock. An In
dian can, from the top of one of these
stone pyramids, shoot q man without
exposing even so much as an inch
square of himself. He can, without
undue haste, load and shoot common
muzzle-loading rife ten times before a
man can scramble over the rocks and
chasms between the slain and slayer.
1t, at this terrible expense of life, a
force dislodees him from his cover, he
has only to drop into and follow some
subterranean passage with which he is
familiar, to gain another ambush, from
whence it will cost ten more lives to
dislOdpe him.

A Poem

A Poem.
would have written, il I might,
A poem like the simmer day;
would have mated sound and sight
With words as fair as they;
But when the day was past it's primo,
Wncn shadows grow and sunshine palel
tried to find, within my rhyme,
Tho mornings charms, and failed;
Then counted mine as fruitless care,
And straying forth, where chance might load,
Saw poems written everywhere
In signs could not read.
| "Ah, Mother Nature =" (said nv sich).
"Thero is key to sky and dowor
Give me finer car and eye
For one swift, little hour!
am nameless, dowerless youth,
And poor in fancy as in purse;
Teach me to Gull single truth
From out the universe.
Tell me secret, Of your own,
That men have sought in vain to learn,
That neither thought nor dream have known,
And let mo tell, in turn.
Translate the speech those robins USE
The separate voice Of wind and trca =;
Bid me interprot, iii you ch06se,
Yon brooks garrulity.
Oh, tell me what the distant seas
Have murmured since the world begun,
Show me the grand benignities
OF fkindly breeze and son.
Hint what it is, this sky aud earth
This outer, eensuous beauty screens;
What makes this tiny foweret's worth,
And what that sunset means.
Speak with my lips, s,-who would not hear?
What wealth, what honor should lack ?"
Then Nature, smiling far and near,
Gave me no answer back.
I only saw the fair repose,
The mute perfection of her face.
She was as one who feels and knows.
But cannot speak, some grace.
There came swlft, unbidden thoue eht:
"Search thou and find like content,
This Nature. in herself, is naught;
She is Gods instrument.
He speaks in her, and speaks in you.
Gather those fancies, cast away
An hour ago, and write anew
The poem like the day.
Go. ponder well and patiently,
Not knowing what your thought may Yield.
But waiting for tho mystery
OF what shall be revealed"

Improvement in Gas Manufacture.

A Spanish chemist has invented q
method Of producing gas for lighting
and heating, by a simple and easily
managed apparatus, and which enables
the gas to be manufactured wherever
it is desired to use it, without any lia-
bility of danger in the process; and it
may thus be made from any solid or
liquid combustible matters, such gas
being, it is claimed, pure, economical,
and deprived of it's carbonic acid. The
apparatus employed for effecting the
lighting and heating is also so con-
trived that the consumption of vegeta.
BILE and mineral oils, petroleum, shale,
and other matters of similar nature
in q state of gas, involves
no necessity for q chimney or
other ventilating mechanism. The
combustible matters employed in this
process are peat, animal substances
black and brown coal, igneous and
vegetable matters, small wood, saw
dust, spent tan, resins, the refuse of
tallow, petroleum and shale oil-these
minerals being placed in the still, with
about thirty per cent. of vegetable
charcoal-as may appear to be desir-
able, according to circumstances-ob-
tanned from the distillation of the oil.
This improved system also provides for
the publication ofgas by means of GER
tain mineral and vegetable matters,
which separate the empyreumatical oil.

which increase the cost, they are con
sumed in state of gas combined with
super er-oxygenated air, and no chimney
is required. The value of gas thus
purified, in preserving paintings, gild-
ings, etc, from the deterioration they
now suffer from ordinary gas, is u point
easily understood.

safety $50 it is supposedly until she re-
turned and built up a fire in the stove
without thinking OF the money. When
she did think of it the money was gone
not enough left "to swear by."
There was about 81, 500 in greenbacks
and enough notes and other securities
to swell the amount to over 81, 600.
This is a very serious loss to Mr.. Ad-
sett, but in the future stove will not
be used as "bank " in that family.

By these 178 accidents 40 persons
were killed and 199 injured more or
less severely-an unusually small pro-
portion of fatal injuries. Of the whole
number % accidents caused deaths and
45 other injuries, so that Ill, or five
elghths OF the whole caused no injury
to person. An examination of the
causes OF the accidents shows that IS
nearly one. third of the whole num-
ber-were occasioned by defects or

these no less than Al were the breaking
OF rails--a number nearly equal, we
think, to all the cases of broken rails

LOST AT THE GAMING. TAp1R.

ASoA "A X3Z 0AmAN0 1AnA6s
So successful was Sommer in stealing
that but for the fact that he was an in.
vetsrate gambler he might have be-
come rich. In the second and third
rate gambling hells with which Paris
abounded during the reign of Louis
Napoleon, he spent most of his nights,
and, strange to say, cool and ciroum-
spect as he was as q thief, he WAS a
reckless gambler, and consequently an
almost uniform loser.
In 1864 he was arrested at the palace
of the Duke de Morny just at the
moment when he tried to make away
with the heavy gold crucifix from the
coffin of the Duke, while the latter's
remains were lying in state. He strug
pied desperately, but was borne in
irons to the Prefecture, where his. false
whiskers were taken of, and chemical
lotion applied to his face and hair,
which were thereby restored to their
natural color. He was then shown to
the detectives, who recognized him at
once. But their joy over his arrest was
of short duration, for that very night
he escaped by picking three strong
locks. It is said that about fifteen
minutes after regaining his liberty, he
