Lellan) is very startling and exciting, some
Jhing after the manner of Wilkie Collins; but
is by no means as well carried out as are the
novels of that pheuomenally ingenious writer.
The interest of Mr.. Hawthorne's story Is held
throughout, and the rapidity of its motion
carries the reader over many weak places in
its construction-liks the train of cars, when
Phieas Fogg made the tour of the world In
eighty days, which, uuder great pressure of
steam, jumped a broken bridge. On the con-
trsry, Wilkie Collins stories are told with
superb reconciliation of all impossible condi-
tions, that cement the most brilliant deceptions
of fancy into consistency which counterfeits
truth. 1t would be easy to point out many
faults of various kinds in Mr.. Hawthorue's
story-but it is not necessary to do so-for it is
book to be read rapidly, to enjoy as an ir-
genious and thrilling little display Of literary
fireworks.

THE HOTTEST SPOT; ON EARTH.

One of the hottest regions of the earth is
along the Persian Gulf, where little or no.
rain falls. At Bahrin the arid shore has no
fresh water, yet a comparatively numerous
population contrives to live there, thanks to
copious springs which burst forth from the
bottom of the sea. The fresh water is got
by diving. The diver, sitting in his boat,
winds a great goat-skin bag around his left
arm, the hand grasping its.mouth; then he
takes in his right hand a heavy stone, to
which is attached a strong line, and thus
equipped he plunges in and,quickly reaches
the bottom. Instantly. opening the bag over
the strong jet of fresh water. he springs up
the ascending water, at the same time clos
ing the bag, and is helped. aboard. The
stone is then hauled up, and the diver, after
taking breath, plunges in again. The source
OF these copious submarine cold springs is
thought to be the green hill of Oman, some
five or six hundred miles distant.

During the twenty years ending June 30,
1876, the United States imported over 2,200,-
oG0 tons of coffee, less than 1000 0 tons of
which were re-exported. During the year
ending June 80, 1877, we imported 800, 000,-
900 pounds of coffee, three-fourths of which
came from Brazil. For the twenty years
mentioned our consumption of coffee aver
aged 200, O00, 900 pounds a year. During
the last five years of the period it was 300,-
100000 pounds. Latterly the relative

owing to the greater increase in the amount
