ChurchTaxation.

+. An opponent of church taxation re-
marks that the taxation of churches
would be found inpracticable on any ba-
sis heretofore, occupied for the estima7
.tion of property. They cannot be taxed
for their cost, for no other property is es,
5ilpated by that standard; nor for rtheir
produc.iveness,for they produce nothing
financially nor on anies'imatef market
value, for they have no market value with
noreference to converting them, to other
ends. Youlmay indeed sell, but only on
condition of investing the proceeds in p
like manner elsewhere, aaITad .a.7. a

Mud Volcanoes.

The mud volcanoes of the Crimea are
situated midway between the village Of
Bulganak and the town Of Yeuikale, and
consist of hillocks which are of a color
between yellow and gray. Upon the
sides of the hillocks are to be seen nu-
mercus burrows, down which the mud
has made its way into the plain, and the
approaches to these volcanoes are rather
dangerous, as there is a risk of being
engulfed in the slime. The largest OF
these volcanoes has a crater perfectly
round and about forty feet in diameter.
At the sides of this crater the mud is
very thick, while in the center it is
quite clear and very liquid. Bubbles of
gas, at the rate of fifty minute at GER
tain times, are discharged from it, and
as they burst they emit a sound like the
crack of rifle. 1t often happens that
oxen and camels which have found their
way to the edge of the craters have been
drawn into them, and the Tartars who
inhabit that district state that the erup-
tions are dependent upon the state of
the sea, increasing infrequency and vio-
lence as the sea gets rougher, and sub
siding as its goes down. Near this
group of volcanoes are others which
have been extinct for many years, and
which are now covered with q thick
growth of vegetation. The chemical
components are in all cases indentical-
sulphur, naptha, and phosphoric acid
| being the main elements.
Essex County herald. [volume] (Guildhall, Vt.) 1873-1964, 1876-05-06
