Volcanic Rims.

A dispatch from Batavia says the con-
dition of the strait of Sunda is danger
GUS to navigation. New islands have
arisen thereon and the coast line is
altered. The government is preparing
te obtain new soundings of the strait.
Sixteen volcanoes appeared between
the site where the island of Krakatoa
formerly stood and the Sibisie island.
A portion of Bantam is an ashy desert,
cattle are starving and the population
in despair. The Soengepan volcano
split in five portions. Seven hundred and
four bodies of victims of the disaster
were buried in the district of Tanard
and 800 in the coast village Kramat.

from 10 o'clock the one who was sit
ting by the window suddenly became
impressed with the idea that there was
some one in the room, and, turning his
head, saw the figure of a man NOV
ing toward the door, which was closed.
As it faded from view he leaned for
ward SO that he could see the outside
OF the door and saw the figure step
out from the solid wood. Then it
started down the path toward the
barn, and the watcher by the window,
although he admitted that his hair
was standing on end and that he was
so frightened that he never thought of
his gun, eyed the moving figure close
ly. AS it was passing the well the
man there fired, and the other said
the stream of fire went clear through
and a yard beyond the figure. When
the smoke cleared away the specter
had disappeared and the two watchers
did not wait for it to reappear Do

"No, for it would be robbing you Of
not only your money, but also of a

a Pen Picture of Fitz John Porter
fNasililIgton Special. !

A very neatly dressed man of Il
trife less than six feet in height, with
slight but not spare figure, gray mus
tache and side whiSkers, with face
clean shaved below the line of the
mouth, after the army fashion of 80
years ago, stood in the rotunda of
Willard's hotel this evening, rather
apart from the crowds that thronged
the place, and yet the object of curl
Gus glances from most of those about
him. His face bore a thoughtful, pre-
occupied and rather careworn look
that seemed out of place with SO dis
tinguished looking and handsome a
gentleman. The careworn and thought
full air was easily accounted for by
those who recognized this man, for
during this week he has sat by and
listened to an ordeal of denunciation
and bitter invective that rarely falls
to the unhappy 10: of mankind. 1t
was Fitz John Porter, and he had not
long ago listened to the ending of
Gen. Logan's terrible four days speech
in antagonism to the bill to restore
him to the position from which he was
degraded just twenty years ago

Snake Charmers of Central America
From Harpers weekly.l

oAtsfNS va
From Harpers Weeklyl
Three or four months before the
ceremony the younger men of the vii
lage begin the work of capturing
snakes by means of ingeniously con-
trived snares. The more daring make
choice of the most venomous and dan
gerous species, and tame them in va
rious ways, using a rude reed pipe, a
fan and Il strip of blanket for the pur-
pose. The snake tanners are often
bitten by their strange pets, but their
knowledge of effcacious antidotes
| almost always protects them from Sc
| rious consequences.
On the day of the ceremony the in
habitants of the village assemble in an
inclosure built of poles and reeds.
The chiefs and notables seat them
selves before a kind of lodge, the en-
trance to which is closed by a curtain.
Within is stone idol on a rude altar,
or perhaps the wooden image of a
saint There the snake charmers are
also concealed, stripped nearly nude,
and awaiting a signal from the head
| chief.
After an interval of solemn silence
he begins a low and monotonous
chant, to the accompaniment of a
drum and rattle. Gradually the as
sembly joins in, and then the charm
ers issue forth, each with snake in
his hand or coiled around his body
They make the round of the inclosure,
and then take their places on the
ground. Each one as he is called up
begins his performances with the snake
he has tanned and trained. Great
mastery over the creatures is exhibited
by these Indians, and the tricks are
often astonishing.
After all in turn have presented
themselves the chant becomes more
lively, and the charmers assemble in
cluster and suddenly fling the snakes
into a heap, where they lie wriggling
and twisting themselves into knots
Then each charmer tries to pick out
his own particular reptile. This is
dangerous work, and they constantly
partake of a certain liquid which is
supposed to contain a powerful anti
dote to snake poison.
At the conclusion Of the games the
charmers retire into the lodge and the
audience rises. A priest sprinkles the
ground with water, facing alternately
the four cardinal points of the COM
pass, and the ceremony is over.

There are several ailantus, or
heaven trees around McMinville which
have been allow ed toattain considerable
growth, and sprouts are springing up
from them in various parts of town.
This tree when in foliage gives forth
very sickening odor, and there are cases
on record where persons have died from
breathing air ladened with this unwhole-
some odor, while asleep. In many
places the municipal laws require
them to be cut down, and persons
having them about their premises
would do well to destroy them, for there
is no doubt that they are very unhealthy
as well as very offensive to the sense of
smell.
Mr.. John Macon's planning mill at
McElroy's ferry, four miles from Rock
Island, with 100000 feet of lumber
belonging to Macon, and 10000 feet
belonging to Shoffner Bros, was de-
stroyed by fire last Sunday morning.
Macon's loss was about 81 900 on lum-
Der and 5000 on machinery. Shoffner
Bros. lost about $3.50 on lumber. Jno.

American Fruit Drier.

DR.. S. w. Houghton, agent for the
American Fruit Drier, has ordered
car load of these valuable machines, of
nearly all sizes, to be sent to this place,
in order that the farmers and fruit
growers may have an opportunity to
supply themselves. Mead and Ritchey
have consented to receive and act as
sub-agents for the sale of the aboye
named evaporators. While we believe
the hot air evaporation is good and will
give satisfaction, we believe also that
the steam evaporation is also good and
will give satisfaction If properly man.
aged. There is a wide field for evapo-
rators, and we are for the machine
that will do the best work. Let the
people have the very best at the least
possible cost, and we will be satisfied.
Every farmer who has any fruit at all
will find it will pay to buy an evapo-
rator to take care of his fruits and veg
etables. Evaporation has been tested
thoroughly and there is no other way in
which fruits and vegetables can be pre-
served that will give such satisfaction.
The process is far superior TO the sun
dried or canning. No one who has
ever used the nicely evaporated fruits
will ever use canned goods. The for
mer is delicious and healthy while the
latter is insipid and unhealthy, there
is no comparison.

signifed their willingness to join the
movement and have appointed commit
tees to consider the matter. If it is de.
cided to have the picnic, an effort will
be made to have at least one good
speaker from distance for each or
ganization. A good band of music will
very likely be secured and a jolly good
time is expected. The lodges of the
courtyard probably of the surrounding
towns, will be invited to participate.
This will be good time to have a pic
