NlEERSCHAUM MINES IN ASIA
MINOR. r.

The most extensive deposits of meer-
sohaum in Asia Minor are about twenty
four miles southeast of the city Of Eskischer,
formerly Dorylea, the inhabitants of which,
numbering about twelve thousand Arme-
mans and Turks, are principally employed
in collecting or dealing in this mineral. It
is obtained down in the earth, shafts or pits
being sunk to depth of twenty seven to
thirty-three feet Forty to fifty miners
work in one mine and form company,
dividing the profits among themselves. The
stones are generally irregular in shape, and
vary greatly in size, being from the size OF
nut to square foot or more in bigness.
The largest pieces are the most in demand
and the dearest. The mineral, when fresh
ly dug, is Of yellowish white color, and
covered about finger thick with red,
greasy earth, so soft that it can be cut with
knife. The treatment which the meer-
schaum must be subjected to before it is fit
for export is very expensive and tedious
The pieces must first be freed from the ad-
herring earth and dried for FIVE or six days
in the sun, or for eight or ten days in warm
rooms The mineral is then cleaned q
second time and polished with wax. After
this it is sorted into different grades, of
which there are ten, and carefully packed
nth cotton into boxes for export The
stones lose two-thirds of their weight and
volume in the operation of cleaning and
drying. The price depends upon the de-
mand. The largest quantity is sent to
Vienna and Germany.

A TREE THAT RAINS.

The Consul of the United States of Colum-
,ia in the Department of Lereto, Peru, has
recently called the attention of President
Prado to remarkable tree which exists in
the forests adjoining the village of Moyo-
bamba. This tree, known to the natives as
Tamai- -Caspi Grain tree), is about So feet In
height at full growth, and the diameter of
its trunk is about 80 inches. It Itabsorbs and
condenses the moisture in the atmosphere
with astonishing energy, and it is said that
water constantly exudes from its trunk and
falls like rain from its branches. So abund-
ant is the water. supply that the soil near by
is turned intoa marsh. The tree gives forth
most water when the rivers are dV during
the summer season, and when water gen
orally is scarce. It's cultivation is proposed
throughout the arid regions of Peru.

SAVED FoH GREATNESS.


Madame do Maintenon, who became the
wife Of Louis XIV, Of France, and for the
last thirty years Of his life exercised con-
trolling influence over his opinions and
policy, had a narrow escape from premature
burial in childhood. Her parents migrated
from France to the Isle of Martinique when
sAe was ten years old. On the voyage she
was taken i'll, and the sickness ended in ap-
parent death. The funeral rites were over;
the last look taken of the body about to be
dropped into the sea; cannon was loaded
to be fred over the corpse, whom the mother,
ordinarily unloving, insisted on seeing her
child once more. To, her surprise, she
fotnd the heart still beating, and, In q de-
lirium Of Joy, declared that the child was
not dead, but would recover. The hope,
born of rapture, proved true prophesy,
and the little girl, so nearly given to burial
IN tho ocean, was spared to become one Of
the most distinguished women in French
history. f.e' ~ ~. 49,

AZ INTERESTING RACE.

A mail train and a carrier pigeon recena.
had race from Dover to London. The
pigeon was Of the Belgian breed, and wa
''homed" to house In Cannon street. On
the train leaving Dover it was thrown from

for few moments, when it took its flight
in line between Bittingbourne and Maid

est route to London. Although the railway
people were confident in the powers of their
locomotive the Continental express) ths

that in tho fore part Of the ship there Was
water tank of galvanized iron, which wae
ir such state that it was condemned.
A workman having taken his candle too
close to snamine the sttashments in order
to remove the tank, an explosion of gas,
produced by the galvsnic action between
the zinc and iron, took place, fortunately
without doing more damage than rendihg
the side of the tank. The occurrence af-

this galvanic action when once started il,

Among the beautiful pictures
That hang on memory's wall,
Is one ofa dim Old forest
That seemeth the best Of all;
Not for its gnarled-Oaks olden,
Dark with the mistletOe;
Not for the vioiets golden
That sprinkle the vale below;
Not for the milk white lilies
That lean from the fragrant hedge,
CoquettIng all day with the sunbcams,
And stealing their golden edge;
Not for the vines on the upland,
Where the bright red berries rest;
Nor the pink, nor the pale, sweet cowslips,
II seemeth to me the best
once had little brother
With eyes that were dark and deep
In the lap of that olden forest
lie lleth in peace, asleep;
Light as the down of the thistle,
Free as the winds that blow,
We rove there the beautiful summers,
The summers of long ago;
But his feet on the hills grew weary,
And one of the autumn ewes
Imade lOrmy little brother
A bed Of the yellow leaves.
Swectly his pale arms folded
My neck in sweet embrace,
AS the light of immortal beauty
Silently covered his face;
And when the arrows of sunset
Lodged in the tree tops bright,
He fell in the sant-lke beauty
Asleep by the gates of light,
Therefore, of all the pictures
That hang on Memory's wall,
The one Of The dim old forest
SCemeth the best of all.
