The eruptions of Mount Etna, though
less frequent than those of Vesuvius, are
far more violent. Its great size-the
heightn Of the cone being nearly eleven
thousand feet, and its circumference
elghty-seven miles-renders the over
flow of its lava very formidable affair.
During one of the earlier eruptions, the
lava, when checked by the walls of Ca
tania, fifty feet in height, accumulated
till it actually overlooked them and de-
vastated the entire town. On this occa-
sion peasant, cut off by a stream of
lava that encircled the rock on which
be stood. escaped by leaping upon a
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 re-
corded eruption of Etna is one men
toned by Diodorus Siculus, as coeval
with the Trojan war. The next are
three eruptions referred to by Thucyd-
ides, 425 and AS 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 lice, 1869,
1855, 1877, 1892, 1852 and 1868.

She Didn't Mean 1t.
Courier journal,

It was in the third race yesterday.
King Faro had won the first heat, and
Ella Rowett the second. sob! I know
King Faro will win the third" exclaim-
ed a demure, diminutiye damsel, arous-
ed for an instant into enthusiasm by the
excitement of the occasion. Tbereup-
on young man by her side challenged
her with, "Will you bet ne your hand
against" against box of candy?
Yes, for | know there is no danger Of
my losing" The heat was a close one,
and when King Faro came under the
string a nose ahead of his game little
opponent, the aforesaid demure, di-
minutive damsel impulsively cried out,
ooh, that mean old Faro!" But the
next instant she was blushing as red
as some of the Jockeys jackets, and
applaudlng King Faro like little hur-
ricane.

GENERAL SHERMAN writes to the Mich

me from making any formal address.
Don't print it in any programme, but

tempore remarks as the occasion may
suggest. You know I must be at West

THERE is a curious district in Arizona
called the Thousand Wells. It is on the
western slope of Echo cliff, remarkable
for the reverberation of sound. The
counter rock is impervious sandstone,
extensively striated with deep grooves
made by winter rains. Where the
sand rock is friable large basins have
been worn. These are so many reser-
voirs which are filled in the rain-time,
and which supply the country: with its
cattle and people, through the long dry
season of that climate. The great high

-or eno IuUusanu wells. There are no
other water sources, and without these
natural wells no life could exist. On the
eastern slope of the range the country
presents a striking contrast. Innumer-
able springs flow perennial. Verdure is
rich, trees evergreen, fields cultivated
and wigwams alive with people.

THERE is every probability that new
university, named after Queen Victoria,
will be recognized and chartered in the
north of England. Manch ester will be
the headquarters, and of the affiliated
colleges, which will discharge the teach
ing function, while the university con-
fines itself to examination, Owens col
lege, Manchester, will be the first.
Leeds and other colleges will speedily
join, and the Lancashire and Yorkshire,
long preeminent in industry, will strive
for cultivation in science and the liberal
arts. The scheme, says an Irish cor
respondent, is likely to raise the tone of
society in the north of England, and as
setting an example which may be fol-
lowed in Ireland.

During some experiments in separat-

OF borate of potassium and sodium was
fonnd that proved to have valuable an
tiseptic properties This salt is now
manufactured on commercial scale,
and costs about 10 cents kilogram. It
is obtained by dissolving in water equal
quantities of chloride of potassium, nj
trate of sodium and boric acid. fltering
and evaporating to dryness. The salt
is said to be quite deliquescent and
must be kept in tight bottles. It is
quick in action, retains its qualities for
a long time and has no injurious effect
on the taste, smell, or healthfulness of
the substances to which it is applied.
1t has already found use in making
sausages, in preserving meats, in tam
ing and in butter-making. A small
quantity of the salt added to milk will
preserve it in good condition for a week.
1t is also used in preserving beers and
wines, and is being made the subject
of experiment in several other direc-
tons.
