the volconic eruptions In the Javancse

supposed that the ice had formed the crust
Of some great vast subterranean lake.
When daylight came on Monday morning
It was seen that an immense tract Of land
extending from Point Capucin on the south
to Negery PafsoerraDg on the north and
covering an extent OF territory fifty miles
square had disappeared.
The villages Of Negery and Negcry Bahia

ABOHEMIAN PRESENT.


La Bruyere, the classical author of the
time of Louis XIV, was in the habit of
dropping in, during his strolls about Paris,
at the house of Michallet, the printer and
bookseller. There he would poke among
the old and new books and romp with Mi
challet's little daughter, a pretty child, to
whom he had taken fancy. One day in
the year 1856 he took roll of manuscript
from his pocket and handed it TO her father,
saying .u.s ... ., .s
"See here, will you print this? can
not say if it will be worth your while,
but should it produce anything, it will be
my contribution to your little daughters
dowry." rt .i...
In 1857 the " "Caracteres de la Bruyere" I"
was published. Half dozen editions were
snapped up, yielding profit of over one
hundred thousand francs. The honest
bookseller went to the author begging him
to share the money with him. The gener.
GUS author laughed at him.
"What are you talking about?" he
demanded ''It is no business either
of yours or mine. 1t is your child's
property. am only glad it has turned out

Census Of Woods.

The latest foresting bulletin from the
Census Bureau gives the specific grav-
ity, the percentage of ash and the
weight of a cubic foot in pounds Of
our native woods. Added to this il
the approximate fuel value of each
species; calculated from the specific
gravity and the ash. These fuel est
mates are approximately correct-for
non-resinous woodruff the actual fuel
value of some coniferous species like
pitch-pine may be 20 per cent. greater
than that given in the table. In an
other bulletin the exact fuel value of
ifty-tive of the more important woods,
as determined by chemical analysis,
was tabled. AT least two determina-
tions of specific gravity were made for
each species studled, and in woods Of
commercial Importance specimens were
taken from many trees grown in wide
" different parts of the country and
under different conditions of soil and
climate Altogether this is the most
comprehensive work Of the kind ever
undertaken incidentally this bulletin
is valuable as furnishing the most com
plete catalogue of native trees yet pub
lished The table contains 425 spe-
cies, grouped according to their botan-
ical atlinities with their scientific and
common names, and the region where
they are found The distinction be-
tween trees and shrubs is of course an
arbitrary one, and in degree unsatis-
factory, but the separation needed TO

could be drawn. Every plant growing
with single arborescent stem is called

into the tree-list which are smaller
than others which from their habit of
growth, are shut ont among the
shrubs ,.r....... 1s.f
