Demand For Confederate Stamps.

The editor of a Tennessee paper,
who WAS a Confederate postmaster
during the war, has recently had calls
for Confederate postage stamps, and
being unable to supply them, makes
the following explanation : IA few
days before the Federal authorities
took possession of Knoxville, we
carefully boxed our post office effects,
and sent them to the care of the post
master at Dalton, Ca, and that was
the last of them. The box contained
some fifteen hundred dollars worth of
United States stamps into the bargain.
The Confederate stamp we used was a
private one, and we used two kinds,
a five and a ten cent stamp, and of
two colors. red and blue. We had
the die manufactured at Nashville at
"a cost of about forty dollars. The rea-
son why we used this private stamp
was that the Confederate post office
department was so crowded with APP
plicants for stamps that ~ could not
meet the demands, and therefore we
got up the stamp in question for the
sake of convenience. Hundreds, per-
haps thousands of them were sold, not
only to the army in our vicinity, and
to Il immediate citizens. but to post
masters from Bristol To Chattanooga.
We would be glad to have a fine lot of
them on hand now, as we could do
we failed to do during the war
make some money out of the de-
funct Confederacy. They would COM
mand Il large premium"

The Eruption Of Volcanoes.

MODERN MISUNDERSTANDING CON-
sTITUTIoN OF VOLCANIC vAPoRs.
The Revue Seientidque OF July contains
an interesting chapter quoted from a work
on volcanoes by NJ. h. Fuchs. The author,
after reviewing all the different theories
hlInerto In vogue, distinctly repudiates the
notion that volcanoes are in communication
with the center of the earth. The real cause
OF eruption, he says, is still mystery; toe
modern hypothesis, which supposes the CEN
ter OF the earth TO be solid, bat enveloped by
stratum OF rocks in a state OF AQUEOUS
fusion, over which lies the hardened crust
We we lhnaDit, answers pretty nearly TO the
ton. 1t is not to be doubted that eruptions
are owing TO struggle between the yapors
contained In the volcanic focus and the
masses OF lava that stop their issue. These
Will absorb large quantity of the former
but In the end they get saturated, and the
remaining vapors force passage TO the ter
restrial surface. The origin OF these vapors is
stated 10 he the sea, and provides the volcanic
focus with the requisite steam. In support
OF this view the author points TO the fact
mat active volcanoes are almost exclusively
situated near a sea coast. Out of I39 that
nave had eruptions since the middle of The
last century, ninety-e eight are iRsular. and
nearly all the others are close To the coast
Another argument In favor Of the inf filtration
OF sea water is this that the chemical con-
stltution OF volcanic vapors comprises ali
the substances that distinguish sea water
from fresh, and even In the same proportions
The real volcano is the invisible focus stu
