The Cincinnati daily star. [volume] ([Cincinnati, Ohio]) 1875-1880, 1875-12-31

WE learn that there are strong indi-
cations of another eruption of Mt, Vesu-
vihs. Prof Palmieri, who is an expert
in the ways of the querulous old noun
tain, says that the venerable volcano is
certainly inclined to go on ''bust" be-
fore long. 1t has had no real frolic since
1872, and will probably join Mayor John
ston's centennial jimjamboree in honor
OF 1873. 1t was in 1850 that the great
eruption occurred, wherein the natural
channels of exit for the lava through the
craters were closed, and the fiery noun.
tain opened far below two new craters on
the mountain side. And it is from
these modern craters that premonitio
of coming eruption are now mani
tested.
The volcanic activity OF Vesuyius
seems to increase with its years. From
the first to the seventeenth century in
clusiEe there were only nineteen re-
corded eruptions, an average of only a.
little more than one in each hundred
years. During the eighteenth century
there were twenty-three eruptions. We
are now up to three quarters of the nine
teeHth century, and Yesuvius has al
ready honored the world with twenty.
five ernptiohs, one about every three
years. At this rate Of increase the old
fre-fend will soon be in state OF per-
petual uproar and convulsion.

Ingenious System Of Lighting.

An ingenious system of lighting is
suggested 10y the Scientific American
as among the probabilities of the future.
Given, say, "a large hotel to furnish with
artificial light, the plan suggested is, in
stead ct having network of gas pipes
leading from different rooms and to diff
ferent burners in each room, according
to the present method, to have the
light for the whole building generated
In one place, say in the main ventilating
shaft for the utilizing of the surplus
heat. The distribution of light would
be effected by means of refectors, each
throwing into its appropriate tube a
bundle Of rays-made parallel by lens
sufficiently intense to flood the room
to which they are directed with pure
white radiance, which could be turned
on or off, or graduated by simply press
ing knob or turning key. In size,
the gas tubes need be no greater than
the ordinary gas pipes, and even much
smaller, since all the light required
for the largest room might be trans
mitted to the reflector as an extremely
slender beam. The terminal lenses
would close the tube against smoke and
dust, which would dim the refectors at
the angles; and by keeping the inclosed
air pure and dry, the absorption of light
would be inappreciable.

Killed by a Supposed Apparition.

In 1867, NJ. Berger, Partisan,
his wife, whom he had married three
years before. Hehas been almost heart
broken ever since, living in the room
where his wife died, and in which her
portrait was hanging. His wife's sister
at the time Of his marriage was little
girl, but she has now expanded into a
handsome woman. For years she had
not seen M. Berger. The other day she
knocked at The door of his apartments.
The servant was absent and M. Berger
opened the door. Size entered and,
lifting her veil, said: "Do you not re-
cognize me?" "My wife!" he cried
then suddenly recoiling. ono, no! she
is dead! 1t is her spirit returned to
earth y The poor girl tried to reassure
the widower and explain that she was
no ghost, but his little sister in law, now
grown up, and who had arrived in Paris
the day before. mo, no, help r' he
shrieked, and fell back dead.

THE GERMAN POLAR EXPEDITION.

Germany has decided to send out
another expedition, in search of the
long-sought northwest passage. The
plan is as follows: If the requisite mon
'ey be furnished, the expedition will
start In June, 1875 (if not, then 1870.
The goal thereof will be first the east
coast of Greenland, where the Germans
have already secured in previous expe-
ditions good scientific base of opera
hons.~ The expedition will consist of
two steamers of about 500 tons, each
manned by crew OF from twenty five
to thirty persons, and full scientific
equipment. One of these ships will be
Specially intrusted with the mission of
exploring the interior of Greenland, its
tiords and mountains, as far north and
west as possible. The other steamer is
to proceed along the east Greenland
seQast. as~far- as the ice permits, and then
sledge journey with reindeers or dogs,
is to be made oleward.
The expedition will be away two
wears. PROVISIONS will be taken for
three, however. Since there are no
ships in the imperial marine suitable
for the purposes of the expedition,
either pew ateamerss must be built or
two mercantile vessels adapted. sa&

Mother GOOa localized.

Mr.. Tyler, in his primitive Culture, y
thus applies to the clIildren's "Song of
fSixpence," the lsw of the interpreta-
ton of myths: Obviously, the four and
twenty blackbirds are four and twenty
hours, and the pie that holds them is
the underlying cath, covered with the
overarching sky; low true touch of
nature it is, that when the pie is opened
that is, when dry breaks-the birds
begin to sing The king is the sun, and
his counting out his money is pouring
out the sunshine, the golden shower of
Dame. The queen is the moon, and
her Transparent honey the moonlight
The maid is the rosy-tigured dawn, who
rises before the sun, her master, and
hangs out the cbuds, his clothes, across
the sky. The PARTICULAR blackbird who
so tragically ends the tale by shipping
off her nose is the hour of sunrise.

Business rivalry in Georgia.

A singular story is this from, the Col
umbus (Ga.) Sun: "There are two
houses on upper Oglethrope street.
Business need not be mentioned. One
is more prosperous than the other. The
least successful hired an old woman,
who is reported to be conjurer, a
bringer-on of good or bad luck, ass the
case may be, who was to cast down the
rival and lift up the employer. So she
goes to work and gets SOME earth from
the graveyard, mixes it with some kind
of white powder, and throws it into the
front yard. The only result thus far
is the killing of a verbena. The
branches of China tree which grew in
one lot overhung the:house of theother.
Some of the berries were gathered,
boiled with peculiar roots, incantations
muttered. and the mess thrown into the
yard. We are told that this, NONSENSE
cal as it appears, has really happened
in Columbus. We didn't think that
ignorance and superstition could extend
that far In our city. II bad and good
luck does come of this, the hirer will
swear the conjuratien was the cause" =

An Annoying Blander.

Company, of Boston, is in a pretty fix

its secretary in 1868. He credited it
with about $4,000 that it didn't OVID,
and dividends were made accordingly.
The error was discovered, the next year,
but the matter was kept quiet to avoid
disturbing public confidence, until re-
Gently, when thorough examination
was instituted The transaction was
all honest enough, but it was not pleas

instead of earnings; but the company
