THE eruptions of Mount Etna. Though

The eruptions of Mount Etna, though
less frequent than those of Vesuvius,
are far more violent. Its great size
the height of the cone being nearly
eleven thousand feet, and its circumfer-
ence eighty-seven miles-renders the
overflow of its lava very formidable
affair. During one of the earlier erup-
tions the lava, when checked by the
walls of Catania, fifty feet in height,
accumulated till it actually overlooked
them and devastated the entire town.
On this occasion peasant, cut off by a
stream of lava that encircled the rock
on which he stood, escaped by leaping
upon boulder that had fallen into the
burning stream and thence springing on
to the other bank, with no other injury
than the loss of the whole skin of his
face by the intense heat. The earliest
recorded eruption of IEtna is one men,
toned by Dlodorus Siculus, as coeval
with the Trojan war. The next are
three eruptions referred to by Thucy-
dides, 1925 and 475 B. c., and one at an
earlier time not specified. These, added
to the later recorded eruptions to the
present time, make seventy in all. The
most important are those of 1869, 1869,
1856, 1887, 1892, 1852 and 1868.

UNTIL very recently it was not
known that either copper or silver exist
ed in Maine. A copper belt, some two
miles long and from 200 to 400 feet wide,
has now been discovered about the mid
die of the southern part of Maine, d.
rectly on the coast. Some twenty miles
to the northward of this copper belt,
silver has been found in flakes, masses
and filaments. A shaft has been sunk
some hundred feet deep, and it is report
ed that the ore increases in richness with
the depth.

A WESLEYAN missionary in Sierra
Leone, Africa, recently made trip into
the interior, and found when only seven
ty miles from Sierra Leone, a cool,
healthy climate. He also discovered an
unsupported, if rather rude, civilization,
for he found people who understood
how to smelt iron, which they manufac-
tured into spear-heads and other weapons
and implements. The people are said to
be comparatively few, inoffensive, with
no particular ideas about religion, but
quite willing to receive Christian teach
ers.

TOURISTS i'll western North Carolina
are not only enabled by the extension
of the Spartonburg and Asheville rail-
road to avoid the wearisome stage ride
from Tryon City to Hendersonyille, but
are allowed the opportunity of seeing q
curious freak of nature known as the
" Isothermal Belt" 1t is natural hot
house in the Tryon valley. 1t is q slice
OF Florida, less than a mile long, and
about half a mile wide, uncovered at the
base of the Blue Ridge, retaining its
southern temperature all winter, while
the surrounding mountains and valleys
are bleak and bare. The soil and veg
citation are the same as those of the
adjacent mountain region, but the tenn
perature is higher. Early in April,
when in the region roundabout the for
ests are bare, this lovely little belt is
clothed in the verdure of summer. The
mountains inclose it on every side save
the south, and protect it against winds
and cold currents of air.

HE system of underground tele.
graphy which is to be put into operation
at once in New York, is based on the
patent of David Brooks, of Philadelphia,
one of the incorporators of the new
company. The system used in Germany
and England is said to have many
disadvantages, and the electrician of the
British telegraphs pronounced decidedly
against underground wires as less eff
cient, less durable, and much more costly
than the ordinary system. These objec-
tons are, however, entirely overcome by
the Brooks patent. This plan is substan-
italy as follows: The wires are wrapped
in cotton and bundled together in tight
netting, to the number of fifty or less,
then enclosed in pipe and laid in the
ground. Insulation is effected by oil
which is poured in the pipe after it is
laid, and the pipe is kept full by having
the source of supply in an elevated
vessel. A mile of line was thus laid
about two years ago in west Philadel-
phia, with complete success. A line
across the Schuylkill, in So feet of
water, has been in operation since
April, 1877, with increasing insulation.
1t is said that q line on this system will |
De laid between New York and Phila-
lelphia this summer.

The Grand Canon of the Arkansas is
nine miles in length, being the narrow
winding way of that river through
granite, the walls rising in many places
to the height of $500 feet. This rock
bound river pathway was discovered by
the Spanish missionaries as early as
1912. From that time it is not known
that any animal life passed through it
until the summer of 1870. Last week a
train of cars on the Atchison, Topeka
and Santa Fe Railroad made the passage.
Along the palisade that forms the north
orn boundary of the gorge, and about
ten feet above the boiling waters, the
engineer has carved a roadbed.

speculators grew strong. hardened in matter of

the rise may be ascribed either to the manpuations
Of a purely brokers' market to such latent but
steady belief in higher standard Of prices as is
promised by the better condition Of things the
country through. There few signs that the
