4 Peculiar Boston LOafcr.

The Boston Globe divides the Boston
loafers into four general classes, one of
which, the literary loafrr, it describe
thus: The literary loafers of Boston
freuupnt the Athenenm and Public Ii
brary. and may be sometimes seen at the
meetings of the Massachusetts, Hi<tOri-
cal Society. They are a peculiar class,
who think that because their attention is
for the time concentrated on books, they
are for that reason learning anything
They must not be confuundtd with real
students, whose minds are intent upon
the acquisition of useful knowledge.
Reading with the literary loafer is not
an intellectual exercise, it is intellectual
trifling He Grams himself with facts IA
a gluttOn Grams himself with food, sim
ply to pass away the time and dclude
himself with the idea that he is doing
something useful. A. for being anything
more than memory -rnnngers, literary
loafers are usually not even that-they
will not take the trouble to remember
what they read. and thus avoid the con-
geStion which would result from an IN
due pressure of facts on the brain. Their
minds are like sievea, through which in
formation passes, leaving a deposit of
thick matter The literary Ioafer is
rather shabby as to his dress, as much
perhaps from want of taste as from want
of means and his slovenly wav of wear
ing his clothes Is in harmony with the
nnkempt look of his hair and beard
The victims of this sort Of Ioa6ng are
usually the least conscious oftheir weak
ness of any of their kind; they have
~elf-satisfed air which makes them look
down upon real intellectual workers, and
though incapable of producing anything
they seem as if they had really given
some instruction to The world Where
the literary loafer lives is a mystery ev-
en- TO his wa~herwoman. but he comes
with distressing regularity TO the Athe-
Iuenn and Public Library, and in the
seasOn is sure TO be found at the Lowell.

NUMBER 10.
Perpetual Fire.

In the neighborhood of Baku, on the
Caspian Sea, there is phenomenon Of a
very extraordinary nature, called the
everlasting fire. TO which a sect Of Indi-
ans and Persians, called Giaonrs, pay
religious worship. IL Is Situated about
ten miles from the city of Baku, in the
province of Shiryau, on 8 dry, rocky
piece Of ground.
On il there are several ancient tenn
pies built of stone. and supposed to be
all dedicated to the fire, there being one
among them in which fre-worship il
now carried on. Near the altar there il
large hollow cane. from the end OF
which issups blue flame. The wor-
shippers affirm that this fame has con-
timed ever since the DeluRe, and they
believe If it were suppressed in that
place il would break out in another.
At a short distance frnm this temple
there Is a horizontal gap. two feet from
the ground, about six feet long and three
| broad, ont Of which comes a constant
| fame of the color Of that in the temple.
When there IL strong wind il rises tn
the height of eight feet, but is much
lower in calm weather.
The earth around for more than two
miles has this extraordinary property
that by taking up two or three inches oi
the surface and applying lighted lamp
the part uncovered Immediately takes
fire even before the fame touches it
The flames make the soil hot, but do moi
consume 1t nor affect what is near with
any degree of heat.
it il Sid that eight horses were once
consumed by this fire under a rool
whore the surface Of the ground hid
been turned up and by some accident
had iRnited. If a cane or a tube Of paper
be set about two inches into the ground
closed with earth below, and the top oi
il touched with live coal, fame will
Immediately issue forth without consum.
ing the tube. providing the edges be
covered with clay. Three or four light
ed canes will boil water in pot, and are
sometimes used to cook victuala. The
flames have a sulphurous smell but are
/ inoffensive.
