three miles below Cumberland, was walk

its whistle and stepped over on to
the other track to avoid it. Just rs he
did so the east-bound mail train came

Rise and Fall OF Land.

Occasionally the fluctuations of land
may be cxempliiicd TO an extent which
could hardly be expected, fact well
illustrated by the case of the Temple of
Jupiter Scraps at Puzzuoli, on the Bay
of Naples. This temple, now in ruins,
dates from very ancient period, three
marble pillars remaining to mark the cx-
tent of what was once magnificent
pile of buildings. Half way up these
pillars the marks of boring shcll-fsh arc
seen some burrows formed by these
mollusks still containing the shells bv
means of which they were cxcavatcd.
AT the present time the sea level is at
even below that site. Hence arises the
fish gain asccss to the pillars, to burrow
into them in the manner dcscribcd?"
Dismissing as an irrelevant and impos-
siblc idea that of the mollusks being
able to ascend the dry pillars, two sup
positions remain. Either the pillars
and temple must have gone down to the
sea through the subsidencc Of the land, ,
or the sea must have come up to the pill
lars. If the latter theory be entertain
ed, the sea level must be regarded as
having of necessity altered its level all
along the Bay of Naples and all along
all the Mediterranean coasts. And as
this inundation would have occurred
within the historic period, we would
expect not only to have had some rec
ord preserved to us of the calamity, but
we should also have been able to point
to distinct and ineflaceablc traces of sea-
action on the adjoining coasts. There
is, however, no basis whatever for this
supposition. No evidence is forthcom-
ing that any such rise of the sea ever
took place; and hence we are forced to
conclude that the subsidence or sinking
of the land contains the only rational
explanation of the phenomena. We
had thus local sinking of land taking
place at Puz3uoli The old temple was
gradually submerged; its pillars were
buried beneath the waters of the sea,
and the boring mollusks of the adjacent
sea-bed fixed on the pillars as n habita-
ton, and bored their way into the
stone. Then second geological change
supervened. The action of subsistence
was exchanged for one of elevation !;
and the temple and its pillars gradually
rose from the sea, and attained their
present level, while the stone-boring
shell-fsh were left to die in their homes.
The surrounding ncighborhood-that
of Vesuvius is the scene of constant
change and alteration in land-level !;
and the incident is worth recording, il
only to show how the observation of
the apparently trifling labors of she'll
fish serves to substantiate grave and
important chapter in the history of the
EARTH Chambers journal.

A Powder Mill.

n powder mill is not the least like
other mills. Instead of one great build
ing, it is composed of many rough look
ing little sheds--somctimes as many MS
seventy OF eighty. These are long dis
tances apart, separated by dense woods
and great mounds of earth, so that if
one house is blown up, the others will
escape like fate. or some the walls
are built very strong, and the roofs
very slight, in the hope that if an explo-
sion happens, its force will be extended
upward only. Other houses have cnor-
nous roofs of masonry covered with
earth; on the roofs of others are tanks
kept always full of water.
The constant danger inseparable from
the work would be greatly increased
were there not strict rules, always en-
forced. No cautious visitor can be
more careful than the workmen them
selves, for they know, if any accident
happens, it will be certain, instant death
to them. So no lights or fires are ever
allowed; no one lives nearer the mills
ings are carpeted with skins, and the
floors are always flooded with an inch
or two of water; and in front of every
door is a shallow tank of water. Before
entering, every person must put on
rubber shoes and walk through the
water, for the nails in u boot-heet
might strike spark from bit of sand
or gravel which might explode single
grain of gunpowder, and cause wide
spread disaster So the rubber shoes
worn in the mill are never worn else
where. Then too, every one is expec-
ted TO keep his wits about him; there
is never any loud talking and laughter
and no one ever thinks of shouting
Yet with all this extreme care, explos-
ions sometimes occur, and then there /:
seldom any one left TO tell how il hap
pened.

Making Sure.

A wife seeking, methodical youth,
who has occasionally escorted a young
lady home on Sunday evenings, and
gone in for supper, after performing
both services last Sunday night, sud-
denly said to her-''Do YOU talk in your
sleep?" "Why-no," she answered in
surprise. ''Do you walk in your sleep!"
he next inquired. "No, sir" He mov-
ed his chair an inch closer, and with in
creased interest asked-"Do you snorc n
"No," she hastily replied, looking unea-
silly at him. AT this reply his eyes
fairly sparkled. His lips eagerly part
ed, and as he gave his chair another
hitch, he briskly inquired-"Do you
throw the combings of your hair in the
basin?" "What?' She asked with blank
face. IIc repeated the question, al
though with increased nervousness.
"No, | don't" she answered in some
haste. Again his chair went forward,
while his agitation grew so great that
he could scarcely maintain his place up
on it as he asked-"Do you clean the
comb when you have donc?' ''Of course
do she said, staring at him with all
her might. In an instant he was OH his
knees before her, with his hands out
stretched. IL love you," he passionate
ly cried. Il give my heart up to you,
Love me and will be your slave. Love
me as love you, and | will do every
thing on earth for you. Oh, take
me to be your lover. your husband,
your cvcything?' 1t was critical mo-
ment for young woman of her years,
but she was equal to the emergency, as
q woman generally is. and scooped
him in.
