A Glass Mountain.

Another marvel recently brought to light

nothing less than 4 mountain Of obsidian or
volcanic glass. Near the foot Of the Beaver
lake baud of explorers camo upon this re.
markablo mountain which rises ia columuar
cli1s and rounded bases TO many hundreds OF
feet in altitude from kissing hot springs at the
margin OF tho lake. As it was desirable TO
pass that way, the party had to cut road
through the steep CLASSY barricade, This they
effected by making huge fires on the glass TO
thoroughly heat and expand it, aud then dash
ing tho cold water of the lake against tho
heated surface SO Us TO suddenly cool and brea K
It up by shrinkage, Large fragments were in
this way detached from the solid side Of the
mountain, then broken up small by slcdgo
hammers aud picks, not, however without
severe decorations of the hands and faces OF
the men from dying spiutors, In the Grand
canon Of the Gibson riyor the explorers also
found preoigiees of yellow black aud banded
Obsidiau, hundreds Of feet high. The natural
glass OF these localities has from timo inmomo-
rial boon dressed by the Indians 10 tip their

PHILADELPHIA, juno 2i.--Late this after
noon frs broke out in Michael Young's frame
stable on tho north side of Marriott street,
west of Third street. 1t was caused by some
children playing with matches. Adjoining the
stable was lumber yard owned by J. j.
Smyth, and next tho lumber yard was Rice &
Goods planning mill. The stable burned with
great rapidity aud the flames almost immOdi-
atcly communicated with tho lumber yard and
thence swept around the mill, involving all
three in n furious wnirlwind of fire. The wind
WAS from the southwest The schorching heat
and flying cnders crossed Marriott street
and swept down both sides of the narrow
thoroughfarcs rolling northeast over the back
buildings and roofs Of the houses on tho west
side of Third street and on the south side oi
Christian street, burning in the last the upper
stories of houses from No. 300 to No $50, on
Third street from No. 96l to No. 90S, and Oh
Marriott street from No. 301 to No. 1856. The
houses were mostly three.story brick dwoll
ings, graded in value from 81, 500 to $4,000
The damage done will probably amount tC
$50, 900 or $4,000.

How the Recent Decision Affects Their Com
pensation


pens1tion
The census enumcrators MS rulo are
much dissatisfied over the recent decision of
the secretary of the interior fixing their COM
pcn,ation. The decision was not promul-
gated until after majority of tho enumcra-
tors had concluded their lubOrs. IL fixes
their compensation in this city MS iu
othor cities east of the ono.hunlrclth
meridian at forty cents an hour. Whom tho
euumerat0rl won't to work they were led 10
understand through the general instructions
received from the superintendent that thoir
pay would b8 twn con;S FOR each person emu
mCrated. Some of the enumerators who wrro
fast workers devoted much less that ten hours
q day to the work, though ther lists, each day
contained i'll many cases many more Than 200
| names. These persons will lose from s. to $50
each by tho new arrangement, while the slow
workers who filled Out their ten hours day,
without, however, doing so much actual work
as tho others, will receive moro money. In tho
county tho cnumcrators had not com pcted
their work when the decision was ammo need,
and these onumurators enjoy the benefits of a
full understanding of tn. manner in which
they are to b0 paid. Tho return mado by
one county enumerator last Wednesday
| showed that he had used ny eleven hours in
taking twenty-three names
Ono enumerator stated to a REPUBLIcAy
reporter that under the impression that be
WAS to receive two cents nam'. lie worked
very hard aud enumerated 5000 names for
which he thought lie was TO receive $72. As
lie accounted for only III hours, LIE would
lose about F26. One cnumeraior WHO had
dono fast work and not regarded time, con-
sidercd that The recent ruling was offering a
premium on dulmess. Colonel Boyd said that
though soma of the enumsTatOrs might lose by
the ruling, In the aggregate the ninety emu
meTators under him would receive moro when
paid by the hour than by the name, 50 that,
representing tho entire ninety, he did not
think there WIS Auy cause for complaint. lie
also referred to clause in the pamphlet of in
stIuctiOns issued before the enumeration Ly
the supe rntGndent Of the census, and with the
contents of which every cmumerator should
have been familiar, which states that time
uuld be an important consideration in resu-
Ia ting the compensation Of the census takers.

The Electric Light In Russia.

The Jablochkoff electric candle has
proved to be a great success. Tho in
ventor and company have sold the prop
erty of their association for two and
half million roubles. Mr.. Jablochkoff
having realized handsome fortune from
his candle, seeks to retire from business
and to devote himself to the further in
yestigation of the electric light. In
April last there was established here a
new society, "The Russian Society of
Electric Light" which is successor to z.
N. Jablochkoff, the inventor, and COM
pany. The new society has a capital Of
5000, 900 roubles, divided into 10000
shares of 125 roubles each. MIR. Jab-
lochkoff was able to transfer to this 30
ciety an order for 4, 900 lanterns, which,
according to the calculation of the in
ventor, will pay the running expenses
and a minimum Of 10 per cent. to the
shareholders. The inventor expresses
his belief that the annual demand for
lanterns will soon increase to 10, 900, am
then the society may pay as an average
20 per cent. Mr.. JabloShkOff gave the
following interesting facts: In Paris, the
Magazines de Louvre began with four
lanterns, and within eleven months or
dered Ainety-six; the HippOdrome began
with forty and soon increased to two
hundred and sixty; Palais d'Industrie
had last year two hundred and fifty Ian
terms, but now it has over three hundred.
The Shah of Persia has, within eight
months, ordered twenty lanterns. The
Jostinny Dvor of st. Petersburg began
with eight lanterns and now uses over
one hundred Many public places OF
both Russian capitals and other large
cities are lighted with the Jablochkof
candles.
While the electrician Of Menlo Park
continues to surprise the world with his
numerous curious inventions, leaving his
electric light in embryo, the modest Rus
sian inventor has already monopolized
the electric light in the Old World What
a surprise it would be if some enterprisz
ing company should introduce the Jab-
lochkoff candle in New York, and in
Menlo Park, tOo!-GoLos. O..

usefnl Lives.

In an article on 'Tdeals of Feminine
Usefulness, in the FOrt1ightLy ReUietO,
Edith Seincox considers the lives OF
those txo philanthrOpic women, Dorothy
PattisOn (Sister Dora) and Mary Calpen-
ter. In the course of the article she
touches upon point which has probably
occasioned not little thought to all
those interested in the lives Of women OF
special careers. She says: "We are
tempted to ask whether this (happily
elastic) theory of the 'wOmanly sphere
is in any way answerable for the under
current of melancholy, common to the
lives of two women as strong, as differ
ent and rs successful as Dorothy Pattison
and Mary Carpenter. Both were thor
ouQhly sane In body and mind, with well
pr0portioned, equally developed natures,
free from any morbid leanings, and both
found their way at last to the work foI
which they were supremely fitted. And
vet. reverenced, adored and valued as
the memory OF each and the work OF
both must be, it is certain that most old
fashioned believers in the 'womanly
sphere will turn from the two memoirs
with a compassionate sigh: Poor
things! they would have been happier
lldlIlCNl esa1O VIM q I'N1S@ "a
Clearly it is more important that the
Bristol ragamuffins should be reclaimed,
and the jails of Bombay and Montreal
reformed, than that one more non-con-
formist minister should have an exem-
plary wife; it Is more important that as
many as are sick or sorry in Statfordshlre
should have Dora for their sister than
she should be happy Gf she could in
frightening a single home. But thevery
question that we wish to raise is begged
by this way of stating the alternative.
1t is not in sane human nature to feel
permanent regret because things mutu-
ally exclusive cannot be possessed to-
gether. Women, as well as men, can
dnd genuine happiness IN the best pos
sible' life; they are not condemned by
nature to spend strength In yearning
after some composite mpossibility; and
it may be that if our two sane and SEN
sible heroines fail to find content IN the
best possibilities open TO themselves, the
fault may not lie with them, but IN the
arbitrary external limits Of the possi-
biity."

linseed oil the floor OF one Of the

Yesterday morning, while at break

that it was the result of spontaneous
combustion in the oil rag, and it was

An October Snow Storm.

Out West the snow plows came
back battered and defeated from
their battle with the late storm.
West Of Sleeping Eye, Minnesota,
the drifts were fifteen feet. Wires
came down in all directions, blew
across the track and were carried by
locomotives for long distances, the
storm being so thick that the en-
gines could not see the wires.s Near
St. James the snow blew so thickly
that people could not see a foot
ahead of them. A freight train got
stock in the snow and men went
back with red lanterns 10 signal the
following train. The train dashed
on, although one man held his lar
tern on a pole above the center OF
the track till the engine knocked it
away, and the otLer flung his lantern
at the cab window. The engineer
could see nothing in the binding
storm, consequently there was a
smash up shortly after.
