Sound and S0mnOlency.

A good ear may prove compensa-
tion for the lack of grammatical knowl-
edge. William King, a former editor of
San Francisco, wrote with remarkable
correctness, and occasionally with ele-
gance. lie knew so little of grammar
that he could hardly tell verb from u
participle or n noun from an adjective.
But his good Car saved him from gram
matical blunders. If an article
sounded right" he knew it would pass
the critics.
One of fWashington's generals. Benja-
min Lincoln, had received an inferior
education. While lieutenant governor
of Massachusetts, and collector of the
port of Boston, he wrote essays on COM
merce, agriculture and philosophy.
After he had written an essay, he would
have it read aloud to him.
81 don't know anything about gram
mar" he said, by way of apology, but

debating his dispatches. he would fall
asleep between the sentences. Persons
on the road not unfrequently met the old
gentleman driving and fast asleep.
General Scott, during the last years
of his life, was similarly afflicted. In
the early days of the civil war, he fire.
quently had to be kept awake by artifi-
cial means, long enough to transact nee
essary business. Neither Of these dis
tinguished men ever said with San
Panza, NOW blessings light on him

A Volcanic Island.

Just 2l6 years ago the Dutahman, Van
Waning. cruising about The Indian
ocean. came upon small volcanic
island, four miles in length from north
to south, and about two miles broad
from east TO west. From the spongy
and porous higher parts of the island
scorfno rivers flowed eastward to the
sea, forming large natural basin or
harbor, some thousand feet in width,
with an opening from the ocean two
hundred feet wide. Steep hills encom-
passed the harbor, running down be-
meath the surface of the safe water TO a
central depth of one hundred and
scventy-four feet, and only through the
comparatively narrow gate could ships
enter, for all about the gloomy island
the.coast was inaccessible with bowlders
of treacherous. pumice and dangerous
streams of lava. Close to the entrance
of this natural port stood sentinel a
rocky pyramid filled the veins of obsi-
dian, or volcanic glass, taller than the
London monument. This remnant Of
the Titanic age erects itself midway be-
Madagascar and Australia, and Is now
called Crozet island, 1t has been q
place of refuge on several occasions for
shipwrecked sailors.

The Power OF a Cyclone.

In discussing the two cyclones which
visited the Bay of Bengal in October.
1870. Mr.. Elliott, meteorological reporter
TO the government of Bengal, incident
ally gives some idea of the cyclodean
forces which are developed by such
storms. The average "daily evapora-
tion" " registered by the Bengal instru-
ments in October is two inches"
The amount of heat absorbed by the
conversion of this amount of water
daily over so large an area as the Bay
of Bengal is enormous. Roughly es-
timated," said Mr.. Elliott, "it is equal
To the continuous working power OF
800, 600 steam engines of 1000 horse
power" A simple calculation will
show that it suflices to raise alolt over
$4,000 cubic feet of water in twenty
four hours from every square mile of
the bosom OF the bay, and transport it
TO the clouds which overhang it. When
we extend the calculation from single
square mile to the area of this whole
Indian gulf, the mind is lost in the
effort to conceive the force which, in
days time, can lift so. ZOO. 600 tonsl Yet
il would be easy to show that such
figures, fabulous as they seem, do not
adequately represent the cyclone forces

A Prevalent POpular Error.

BY the burning of Chinese wash
house in San Francisco n short time
since, eleven of the occupants who were
asleep in bed lost their lives. The ac-
count published in the newspapers de-
scribed them as exhibiting, by the posi-
tion in which their bodies were found,
the agony they suffered from the fire. As
editors and reporters are considered to
possess more than an average amount oi
intelligence and information, it appears
singular that they should propagate or
perpetuate such an error. 1t may be
safely asserted as a general rule that
persons who lose their lives while sleep
ing in burning buildings, are sutfocated
and die painlessly without waking, and
before the flames had reached their
bodies. The merest tyro knows what
would be the effect of going TO bed with
n pan of burning charcoal in the room,
or the effect Of blowing out the gas In
stead OF turning it off. An individual
going to sleep under such circumstances
inhales the impure air, which acts MS an
antesthetic and rapidly converts the nat
ural sleep into stupor and coma, from
which there is no waking. Persons
sleeping in house which takes fire are
smothered in this way by the carbon
ferrous gas long before the fre reaches
them. Their bodies or remains are
found-not in the halls or stairways
where they would have been had they
awakened and attempted TO escape but
in bed, or in the spot which the bed had
occupied, and in the very position in
which they had been lying asleep. The
exceptions are mostly noticeable, as
when persons are seen to make attempts
TO escape. There is something so herri-
BILE in the idea of burning TO death that
it were well for the community not to
suffer needlessly from sympathy for the
victims. To the relatives ofpersons who
lose their lives in burning houses, par
ticularly TO parents whose children may
die in this way, it may save n lifetime of
grief to know that death entered the
chamber quietly and performed his task
without so much as disturbing the slum-
bers of his victim. Medical and
Surgical Journal.

To Young Men.

Henry Clay once said: 81 owe my
success in life TO one fact. namely; At
the age of twenty-seven l commenced
and continued for years the practice OF
reading and speaking upon the contents
OF some historical or scientific book.
These off-hand efforts were made some-
times In a cornfeld. at others in a
forest, and not unfrequently in some
distant barn. with the horse and OK for
my auditors. 1t is to this early practice
In the great art of arts that am In
debted for the primary and leading i'm
pulse that stimulated me forward, and
shaped and nodded my entire subse-
quent destiny. Improve. then, young
gentleman, the superior advantages you
here enjoy. Let no day pass without
exercising your powers OF speech. There
is no pay Ike oratory. Caesar controlled
men by exciting their fears, Cicero by
captivating their affections and sway
ing their passions. The influence OF
the one perishes with the author; that
of the other continues 10 this day."

A pretty good joke is told at the ex-
pense of two limbs of the law who are
well-known in Seneca county. They
were out carriage riding a few days ago,
and ON the road ogerliauled farmer
who was driving four-horse team,
three horses OF which were little the
worse looking by reason of hard work.
Thinking to have some fun with the
honest tiller of the soil, they jokingly
inquired of him why one of his horses
was so fat ana the other three SC. poor.
The granger, who was acquainted with
the legal lights, quickly replied that the
fat horse was a lawyer and the others
his clients The disciples of Blackston
drove on. Waterloo Observer.

Caring for Snakes.


A reporter of the Philadelphia Press
has been learning on what the snake.
man ut the Geological gardens, in that
city, feeds his pets. This is what he
learned on entering the professors pri-
vate Office: Two cages stood on the
side of the room, one on top OF the other,
Immediately facing the door. One cage
held white and spotted rabbits, and the
other cage contained guinea pigs. There
were twenty or thirty altogether. This
was the food the snake-kecper was fat
tening for his serpents-the beacon
strictors and other large snakes of the
expanding jaws, which can swallow
down the largcst-sized rabbits without
the slightest difficulty. The rabbits
were seen sporting about the cage, all
unconscious of the fate in store for
them, a fate all the harder from the
fact that the luxurious serpcnts must
have them to swallow alive or not mt
all, as they will not eat dead food. The
guinea pigs arc sacrificed the same way.
This form OF serpent diet the snake
keeper does not go down into New
Jersey for. The rabbits and guinea pigs
are kept in the gardens, where u ey
breed very fast, and more than feep
up the supply for the large serpents.
The garter-snakes and water-snakeS, and
worms and frogs, which he brings in his
satchel and tin can, are fed to the rattle
snakes and the king-snakes, and serpents
of that sort. The way the snake keeper
gathers up his food for these reptiles is
amply in keeping with his giant charac-
teristics, and well calculated to inspire
terror TO the weak and timorous. He
gets out in field or woods down about
Woodbury., N. j., where garter-snakes
abound, and as fast as he sees them he
gathers them up with his hands and
throws them into his tin can or satchel.
The water-snakes he gets along the
brooks and swamps. Every man 10
his calling" says tile adage. The snake
keeper, on the authority of those who
know something of his habits and pecu-
liarities, has his heart in his work, and
by all accounts would not exchange
with anybody.

Some Valuable American Coins.

~ The coin collectors are among the in
dividuals who realize the impulse of
improved times. They report that tho
"craze for coins" has, revived TO =
wonderful extent. Old nnmismatics are
taking more interest in their hobbies,
new ones are into the field, and, as a
result, coins are growing scarce and
prices daily tending upward. Among
the coins for which there is now great
demand are the dimes, quarter-doilars
and half-dollars of 1879. Only $4,000
of these coins were issued from the mint.
whereas the average issue of previous
years has been larger. Collectors arc
paying seventy-five cents Tor the hall
dollars; thirty-fve cents for the quar-
ters and twenty-five cents for the dimes
of 1879, while the figures obtained by
the dealers from their private custom
ers are nearly twenty-five per cent. in
advance of buying prices.
The articles relative to the old and
rare coins published in the record over
a year ago have had the effect of un-
earthing n couple OF extremely rare
specimens which are now in the posses
sion of Il. Mason, numismatist of this
city. One of these is Washington sill
yer dollar of I796, which is believed to
be the only one. in this country, and to
which a history Is attached.
When Washington was in the height
of his popularity it was proposed to
place his bust upon the coinage. This
was done in some silver and copper issues
of l79l-92; but Washington objected SO
vigorously that the coins were with
drawn from circulation. Again in 1886
it was proposed to place his head upon
the dollars, but once more he objected.
and the idea was not persisted in. Two
or three coins were, however, struck
of, and the one Just now turned up is
of the number. Where the others went
TO nobody knows, but this one has been
in the possession of a Schuylkill county
farmer for over sixty years. The diverse
has military bust of Washington,
facing left, surrounded by the Icgend.
6 Washington, President" and the date
1876. The head is surrounded with n
laurel wreath. On the reverse is II
spread-eagle, surrounded by fifteen
stars. A broad milling extends around
| the margin. The diverse has the name
"Birch in very small letters beneath
the head. This was the designer. who
was the father of the present auctioneer
of that name.
The other coin is also new to the un-
mismatic world, which has been gen
orally ignorant of its existence, al
| though III was stated IN boston recently
that such coin was extant. 1t is II
Confederate gold piece the size and
weight of two dollars and fifty cents
gold coin, for which it was probably
intended. The diverse has a naked bust
of Jefferson Davis, with the name in II
circle. On the reverse is laurel
wreath, with the date 1861. Around
this is the legend: &C. S. A. first
president" This piece has just been
brought to light by resident of Rich
mond. Va, who values it at 800.
Whether it was struck as a sample coin
or intended as n medal is a question
which numsmatists will now attempt
to solve. PHILADELPHIA Record.
