DARATH's RocK.-In 1929, Mr.. John Pur-
dy, photographer, published in London new
chart of the Atlantic Ocean, from Greenland
to the Equator, and with it a book of direc.
tions in which all the dangerous reefs. rocks,
&C., are described. The recent statement
made by Capt. Picasso, that he saw rock in
lat. 40 N. lon. 62 W., is supposed by those who
have faith in his statement, to be that reported
by Capt. Daraith, Aug. %, 100, who said
shat he approached within half league of it,
then sailed around it, in order to observe it
well, and took an altitude within sight of it.
The rock is described as extending league
and half, being three-quarters of league
broad. Its latitude is 400 5O', longitude $40
5S..' The photographer adds, however, that
'its longitude is very uncertain" The exis-
tence of both rocks is doubted, and some peo-
pie who have looked over the New York ship
ping papers, have failed to find any record of
Capt Picasso or his barque the Therese:

A New Genius.

BrattlcbOrO appears to he the one
place in Vermont where genius is indig-
enOus. 1t was the home of Powers and
Mead aud now new order of talent
is manifested there. During the winter
whenever an event happened i'll the
village it was caricatured. the drawings
displaying great power. and were en-
hibitcd III the windows of one of the
principal stores. For Il long time no
one knew who had done them: they
were objects of much curions siiecula-
ton. and everybody grew interested in
the unknown artist. There was much
strength but no coaISencSS about them
they seemed to catch the spirit of carl
caturc. and were emimcntly successful.
At last it was discovered that Robert
Hardy, Jr.. Il Young fellow about 10 or
20. and the son of the famous drum
major of the Ninth Vermont Volunteers.
and well known to our citizens. was the
artist. He has been very quiet about
his work until the merit of II WAS dis
covered and acknowledged. He has
never had amy instruction, and has never
known he possessed the talent until Il
few months since. As an experiment
he has been engaged in making crINon
portraits. and two of them are on eX-
hibiton now. Both a> portraits aud
pictures they are excellent: wonderfully
50. when one remembers thar the hoy is
utterly untaught. never having had one
lesson in his whole life. He is deter
mined now to turn his attention to Ant.
and if he Uses his talent Alright, Brattle
horo will one day have her painter as
well as her sculptor.

A Big Thing.

One of the biggest public gifts OF
rather collection of gifts, that this coun-
try has ever seen, is the act of James
Lick. the wealthy San Franciscan, i'll
deciding almost the whole of his large
property to public uses. He gives 700.
900 for the construction of the largest
and best telescope in the world, for an
observatory at Lake Tahoe: S3OO,0OO
for the endowment of school of me-
chanical ants in California : Sl50,OO0
for the erection of IA bronze monument
to the author of the Star Spangled
Banner" in Golden Gate park, san Fran
cisco /: = 50, 900 for public baths i'll San
Francisco: 100000 for an old ladies'
home; S25,O00 apiece to the ladies
protection relief society, the Protestant
orphan asylum. and the city of San
Jose for an orphan asylum; 10000 each
To the Mechanics library i'll san Fran
cisco and the society for the prevention
of cruelty to animals: besides which
there are other gifts which carry the
total up considerably above Il million
and half. Then after making ample
provision for his relatives and reserving
the homestead and 25.00O wear for
himself, he gives whatever of his cS-
tate may he left to the Pioneers society.
Mr.. Lick is Il rich old bachelor, rather
odd-as one might infer from one or
two of these giits-but yet of some
taste and culture. who lives very cheap
ly and has been popularity supposed to
be Il miScr. He OWNS great deal OF
real estate in san Francisco. including
Lick house, il hotel which has the hand
soonest dining-room in America. He
began to show il disposition to give
moneys for public benefit, Il year ago.
and this seems to he the elimination
and completion of his very commend
able idiosyncrasy. 1t is, indeed, Il big
thing-a great eXample,-it ought to
prove epidcmical.

money to the Fiji Islanders, and have
his wood sawed for dollar a day. and
make the woodsawyer wait ninety
days for his pay, all through picking
up Il pin when the banker was looking.
Our little boy went to one of the banks,
and asked for work, and didn't get it
so, Just before he got to the door, he
stopped and made believe pick up a
pin. But the cashier. who saw him.
thought it was money, and jumped
over the counter like lightning, aud
collared the good little boy. and shook
him, and called him ii thief, and finally
went through his pockets and rake,l

man was asleep. This he confiScated,
and kicked the boy into the street.

To DESTROY BUGS, ANTS, ETC.-NO
insect that crawls can live under the
application of hot alum water. 1t will
destroy red and black ants, cockroaches,
spiders. chintz bugs, and all the myriads
OF crawling pests which infest our
homes during the heated term. Take
two pounds of alum and dissolve it in
three or four quarts of boiling water !;
let it stand on the stove until the alum
is all melted then apply it with IL
brush while nearly boiling hot, to every
Joint and crevice in your closets, bed
steads, pantry shelves and the like.
Brush the crevices in the floor of the
skirting or the mop boards. if you Sis
pect that they harbor vermin. If in
whitewashing ceiling, plenty of al
um is added to the lime. it will also
serve to keep insects at Il distance.
CockroacheS will flee the paint that has
been washed in cool alum water. Su-
gar barrels and boxes can he freed from
ants by drawing wide chalk mark
Just around the edge of the top of them.
The mark must be unbroken. or they
will creep over it. but continuous chalk
mark. half an inch in width will stop
their dcpredations at nought. Powder
ed alum or boraX will keep the chintz
hug at il respectable distance, and tray
ellers should always carry IL bundle of
it in their hand bags to scatter over and
under their pillows in hotels, &c.
