A scoundreI's Work.

Knoxville. Tenn, 18.-A O'Clock
this morning, a mile east of the
city, at the zinc works, the eastern
bound express train going at full
speed, was thrown from the main
track by a misplaced switch. The
train struck four coal cars of the
side track, demolishing them. The
engine jumped the track, and ran
into the main building of the
works of the Valley Zinc Com
pany, tearing away the whole
side Of the building, playing
havoc with the machinery. The
locomotive and tender were turned
over, the mail car was torn to pieces
and the express car was damaged.
The damage to the railroad COM
panY is $1,000; damage to the zinc
company, $4,000. The railroad offers
large reward for the apprehension
of the scoundrel who broke the lock
and changed the switch.

THE pocoPsoN ERUPTION.

Vesuvius and other old established
volcanoes have at various times

there was an eruption in Pocopson,
Penn, the other day, of an entirely
novel description. 1t consisted of
kitchen utensils-pans, pots, and
pals, together with axes, bones, a
complete stove, and a lemon-squeez-
er. The eruption lasted only few
minutes, and has not been renewed,

terrible fate of being buried out of

The views specified in the pro-

panied by appropriate music were
well put on, the audience however
was left in doubt as to what they re-
presented as the programmes could
not be read, the lights having been
turned down and the descriptions
given by Mrs. HASTE in a low tone
Of voice were entirely lost to those
not in her immediate vicinity.
Better management in the removal
of view before the next one was
put on would have deprived the au-
dience of some very ludicrous pic
lures produced by the mingling OF
comic views and statuary, one piece
of statuary showed a man with two
heads.
The music under the direction of
Prof. Yarndley was very meagre nor
did he play an overture as was adj
vertised but instead Mr.. Vredenburg
gave some selections on the cornet
playing the accompaniment with the
left hand.

According to all precedent, the re-

should also be mentioned that no
windows were broken and that no
utensils fell upon. the heads of the
residents of Pocopson-a feature
which alone would have distinguished
the eruption from any ordinay blast.
From whence came the. cooking
stove and the pots and bones! OBJ
viously they came from a depth
below the surface of the rock which
forms the Pocopson quarry. The
thickness of this rock from it's origi-
nal surface to the lowest point to
which the drill penetrated is estimat-
: ed to be 37ft. sin. The rock itself
is reported to be the common blue
limestone of the Allegheny region.
Blue limestone, in the opinion of the
most eminent biologists, is deposited
by nature at the rate of one inch in
every eight thousand seven hundred
ard forty years, Which is even
slower than the rate at which an Irish
labourer deposits blue limestone
faggings when paving a sidewalk
under the instructions of a: city
contractor. The kitchen utensils
thrown up at Pocopson were, there
fore, not less than 3, 915 500 years
old, that being the period which
must have elapsed since the lime
stone deposit began to cover them.
From these facts it is evident that
nearly four millions of years ago
cooking stoves and all the furniture
thereunto appertaining were in use
by man. The theory that the stone
age is the earliest period of the hui
man race must now be abandoned.
The Pocopson eruption shows us
that the cooking stove age, preceded
the stone age by at least two million
years. The cooking stove age was
also contemporaneous with the axe
age, the water pail, age, and the
lemon squeezer age. Man at that
period was so far civilised that he
ate cooked food, drank punch, and
probably compelled his wife to split
kindling wood. Thus the present
theory that man lived at first upon
raw chicken killed with stones; that
he next formed the habit of eating
out of bronze vases, and that he did
not use iron in any shape until long
