Italy's Appalling Disaster.

Naples, July 81 The search If the
RUNS for bodies Of victims of the earth
quake On the Island of Ischia was con
tinued during the night. All tie bodies
recovered are buried immediately to pre-
vent miasma. An eyewitness describes
the scene at the theatre at Casamcciola
when the earthquake occurred as an
awful one. The curtain had lust risen
when tremendous shock was felt. \
fearful roar followed, and the ground
rocket like the sea in a storm \ great
cry OF terror arose from the audience,
who We're thrown into heap, and large
mum bcr OF them We're buried beneath the
tlmbers of the building, which fell upon
them Two more shocks occurred. All
who could rushed outside the theatre,
and hundreds Of persons clambered into
the trees IN the vicinity for safety Most
OF the people, however, escaped to the
shore, where bontires were lighted as
signals Of distress. Hundreds of half
naked men and women, Wild with terror
and grief ran to and fro among the ruins
with torches during the night searching
for missing friends.
The only American known to have been
injured was Miss Van Allen, ana She is
only slightly hurt.
Ming Humbert, accompanied 10y his
staff, has gone to Casamicciola to super
intend the work of caring for the surviv-

cured, was a Mr.. Sommer, an English

How the Wind Stirs up the Sea.

one Of the first things to be observed
does not blow regularly, bat in guests
At one moment it bends over the branch
es Of the trees in the next, it has loosen
ed its hold, and let them fly back. We
see it swelling out ships sails into
puff; 4 minute later the sails hang flap
ping as if they had been struck down.
We can account for these phenomena
and explain the intermittence of the
wind-put1s by assuming that the mole
cules Of air, dispacing each other, excite
vibratory movement, which gives rise
to little undulatiOns following one after
another at intervals of few seconds
The resultant OF a series Of these undu-
latons is puff of wind which comes on
suddenly and is followed by a short ull
A series of put1s constitutes a squall, and
an aggregation of squalls forms the at
mospheric wave which is called a gale of
wind We should naturally expect to
observe the same phases in the formation
of sea-waves; and, in fact, if we carefully
examine wave, we shall find that it is
covered with very fine nipples, that cor
respond to the atmospheric vibrations.
The ripples give rise to wavelets, which
correspond to the undulations of the air,
and are seen on the upper part Of the
waves. The wave proper appears to
consist Cf 4 series of Wavelets. 4 number
of waves constitute il billoW a series Of
pillows gives rise to a heavy sea (paqltct
de mey) a series Of heavy seas produces
the great swell or tidal wave of the
storm.
From the nautical point of view, the
rlpples are Of no Importance, for they are
seldom more than a few millimetreS in
diameter but from the scientific point Of
view they may be considered as the
origin Of the swing Of the liquid element,
for they engender the wavelets The
last are still of no interest to the sailor,
but are important in their relation to
works of art, which are disintegrated by
their blows, apparently insignificant, but
Infinitely multiplied. The wayelets are
from ten to thirty ccntimetres in diameter
and rot very long. A very heavy wind
breaks them up and contributes to the
formation of fine dust of salt water or
salt spray, which is destructive to vege-
tation on exposed coasts. The wave
proper may, i'll the English Channel be
about ten feet high, thirty feet or more
broad, and eighty feet long; its proper
tons do no disturb large ships, but it is
destructive, in the long run, to port
works, and is dangerous to small craft
when it breaks. We may estimate that
ten waves make billow The first Of
the ten may be relatively small, but the
others go on increasing to the last

y prominent Roman Catholic New
orker, speaking of the arrival Of Mgr.
Capel, who got there by the Arizona re-
Gently, gave me a new view of the pre-
lateS visit. According to this gentleman
Mgr. Capel comes here to do work
which, in the opinion of Rome, our
American priests have failed to do-to
convert eminent and rich Americans to
the RomlSh Church. The poor are we'll
looked after by our hard working priests.
but the rich and the fashionable, the peo-
pie who own the Fifth avenue palaces
and give the notable receptions Of the
winter, are persistently Protestants Mgr.
Capel comes here to see if some move
ment cannot be established looking to
the conversion of q Vanderbilt or an
Astor. Such work has been conspicuous
ly successful in England, where one con-
vert such as the Marquis Of Butte has been
worth, in Il money sense, a thousand com
mon souls; but here the rich, almost
without exception, are stdunch Protest
ants, and the Roman Catholic Church
has failed to make headWay with them.
This obstlnacy is certainly not founded
in philosophical conviction, for every
one knows how large our class of igno-
rant but wealthy men is. Therefore, the
proper means to draw some of these
prizes to Rome cannot have been taken.
and Mgr. Capel comes here to find out
why our priests have failed and what
men or means are needed to effect a
change If Mgr CapeI is, therefore,
heard of as dining with Mr. Vanderbilt
next week, the world will know what it
means. Young Mr.. William X. Wander
bilt, who is the aesthetic member of the
family, might not object to giving an
other fancy ball next winter, for the pur-
pose of showing the world of New York
al American Lothar And who that
knows the blind worship that New York
has for the Vanderbilt millions can doubt
that an American Lothair would be worth
a great deal to the Catholic Church?
AS to the Cardinal and our Catholic
Church here, | understand that Mgr
Capefs visit is not looked upon with en-
thusiasm. Our New York priests believe
that they have done all that could be
done, and want no aid or suggestions
from outside.

and shared in during Imprisonment in

hand down to posterity, historical fact,
as set forth by individual testimony, as
to the character of those prisons, and

AS to Mr.. Blame.

Mr.. Blaine is characteristicaIy Il frank out
spoken man. When in 1876, and again in 1880,
he desired the nomination at the hands Of the
party he had served so long and zealouslv. he
never hesitated to say 50. His declaration now
that he is permanently out of politics, and
would not take Il nomination if it was offered
him, is to be taken is the utterance of man
who always means what he says, and has never
been afraid to say what he meant The eX-
Secretary of State is only tifty-thrcc years of
age, but he has seen active service enough to
make him Il veteran, ana to entitlc him TO all
the honOrS and comforts of the retired list if
he chooses to 90 on it. But in politics not less
than in military life, it is possible sometimes to
summon man from the retired list to meet AZ
emergency, who will demonstrate by his deeds
that he has gathered strength and vigor instead
of rust in his retirement. MIR. Blaine is Young
enough i'll years to enjoy round dozen wears
of leisure and then be available in politics as
the bravest and most sagacous political leader
of generation still in control of affairs Al

In Summer Time.

Flowers and fruits of the summer,
Can you hear us children shout,
When. over the fields and hill-sides,
We seek and find you out?
DO you blackberries know how you glisten?
You raspberries know how you glow?
Or you gooseberries know how you prckle:
If not,-then you ought to know.
Do you hide from us, ever, on purpose,
And. deep in the green, keep still?
Or is it quite social and pleasant
When basket and pail we fill:
And the bumble-bees--how can you bear them
Well, sometimes | think it is true
They have their sharp stings for us people,
And only their velvet for YOU.
And how DO you berries, wonder.
Feel, spread on beautiful dish,
All covered with sugar? That strikes me
As Just what berry would wish.
It's sort of reward am thinking,
That every good berry should meet;
And yet, Pm not sure should like it,
To bc-sO delicious to eat

How to Foretell Weather.

The Farmers Club of the American
Institute has issued the following rules
for foretelling the weather. If farmers
and others whose business is out doors
and depends upon the weather, will study
them closely, they will be able to guess
the weather more accurately than Wig
gins or NennOr =
|. When the temperature falls sud
denly there is storm forming south Of
you.
,, When the temperature rises sud
denly there is a storm forming north Of
you.
3. The wind always blows from Il
region of lair weather toward a region
where IA storm is forming.
Cirrus clouds always move from Il
region where a storm is in process to d
region Of fair weather.
5. Cumuius clouds always move from
region OF fair weather to a region where
storm is forming.
i. Where cirrus clouds are moving
rapidly from the north or northeast there
viii be rain inside of twenty four hours,
no matter how cold it is.
:. When cirrus clouds are moving
rapidly from the south or southeast there
will be cold rain storm on the morrow,
if 1t be in summer, and if it be in winter,
there will be snow storm.
:. The wind always blows in circle
around a storm, and when it blows from
the north, the heaviest rain is east of you :;
if it blows from the south, the heaviest
rain is west Of you; if it blows from the
east the heaviest rain is south if it blows
from the west, the heaviest rain is north
of you.
9. The wind never blows unless rain
or SNOW is falling within 1000 miles of

An English gardener says be does not
agree with those who say that one good
wedding is worth two hoeings He says
Never weed a crop in which hoe can be
used, not so much for the sake of destroy
ing weeds, which must be the case if the
hoeing be wei! done, as for increasing the
porosity of the soil, to allow the air and
water to penetrate freely through it.
Ottentimes there is more benefit derived
by crops from keeping them well hoed
than there is from the manure applied.
Weeds or no weeds, | keep stirring the
soil, well knowing from practice the very
beneficial effects it has.

1t is not generally known that the hen
is cock Of the walk, and yet she appears
to be. Statistics for 1889 show that the
value Of the poultry produced in America
exceeds the value Of either hay, wheat,
cotton or dairy products. The figures
Tor that year are; Wheat, S4SS, 900, 900 );
hay, sE33, ,0OO,O0O; cotton, S4l0, 100000; );
dairy products, S254, ,0Oo,OO0; poultry,
S"dD,oOO 900. Notwithstanding these
large figures, poultry is about the only
product that we do not send abroad, but
find a market for it entirely at home.
France and England send large quanti-
ties Of eggs to this country, for which
there is always ready market In 1882
We received l3,000,00O dozen from for
eign countries, and still we are not salts
fed. Let the hen be respected.

gin has been ascribed to the restocking of Nor
way and Sabatis Ponds, a half dozen years ago.
A number of fine black bass have been caught
in Sabatis Pond. From Eastport we learn
that all kinds of fish are scarce there and at
Grand Menan. Sar,line factories do not have
fish enough to work with more than one fourth
of the time. Some had no fish for week past
......Recent reports from the mackerel fleet are
more encouraging. Several good hauls have
been made off Mt. Desert. The Grand Bank
codfshing fleet are meeting with good success.
