A RECENT Washington special says; "Com.

steamer Alert, in a report TO the Navy Depart
ment, Just received, says that while on a sur
veying oguise in the Pacific, south of Fortsizio
and Bovin Islands, on approaching the Island
of San Alessandro his attention was called to
the strange appearance of the water apparent
ly ten miles distant. volume OF vapor was
rising as though some vessel were blowing on
steam. This was followed by the appearance
of breakers, and while some Of the officers
were discussing the probable cause, some
thinking II was the blowing and preaching Of
a school of whales, the question was def.
nitely settled by the upheaval of an i'm
mense black mass, As the ship ap-
preached the submarine volcano the black
masses thrown up were distinguished
as mud and ashes, The upheavals were ac-
oompanied by dun reports like those from
submarine mines, and by the odor Of sulphur.

did not think II prudent 70 approach the vol

The water was full of ashes and mud, and some
of this and one specimen of the bottom were
brought on board. nhe volcano bears north

from the landing place on tho southwest end
OF the island. Al night flames were noticed
Issuing from the volcano. The report OF Com
mander Huntington has been referred TO Cap

The Crystalline Conservatory OF the
Mammoth Cave.

WHAT words can picture forth the
beauty of Cleveland's CabinOtP Wyan-
dot and other caverns may have gall
leries like it in kind, but none to be COM
pared with it either in extent or SYM
metry. We loiter beneath spotless
arches of fifty feet span, where the fancy
is at once enlivened and bewildered by
mimicry of every flower that grows in
the garden, forest or prairie, from the
modest daisy to the Haunting helianthus.
Select for examination a single one Of
these enchanting blossoms, the "oulo
pholites of the mineralogist. Consider
the charms of this queenly rose that has
unfolded its petals in Mary's Bower.
From a central stem gracefully curl
each tiny crystal in itself is a study;
each fascicle of curved prisms is Won
derful; and the whole creation is mir
acle of beauty.
Now imagine this mimic flower null
tiplied from one to hundred, thous-
and, a myriad Move down the dazzling
vista, as if in a dream of Elysium-not
for a few yards, or rods, but for two
miles. All is virgin white, except
here and there little patch of gray
limestone, or a spot bronzed by some
metallic stain, or, again, as we pur-
posely vary the lovely monotony by
burning colored lights. Midwayis a great
cross overhead, formed by the natural
grouping of stone rosettes. Floral clus-
ters, bouquets, wreaths, garlands, en-
bellish nearly every foot of the ceiling
and walls; while the very soil sparkles
with trodden jewels. The pendulous
fringes of the night-blooming cereus are
rivaled by the snowy plumes that float
from riffs and crevices, forever safe
from the withering glare of daylight.
Clumps of lilies, pale pansies, blanched
tulips, dropping fuchsias,3 sprays OF
asters, spikes OF tuberoses, wax-leaved
magnolias-but why exhaust the botan.
ical catalogueP The fancy finds every
gem of the greenhouse and parterre in
this crystalline conservatory. Earlier
visitors professor Locke in 1S42, and
Bayard Taylor in 1850 describe long
sprays, like stalks of celery, running
vines, and branches of chandelier;
but 1t has been impossible to guard such
exquisite formations from covetous fin
gers. Happily the subtle forces of nature
are still at work, slowly replacing by
fresh productions what has gone 10 the
mineralogist's cabinet OF the amateurs
