pliers.

The particulars which have arrived by
mail Of the late volcanic convulsion in
the Straits of Sunda show that the loss
of life in that calamity has, if anything,
been rather under than overestimated.
Tjeringen-which, with its population Of
10, 600, was engulfed in the waves, not a
soul escaping is only one Of several
coast towns which have totally dissp-
peared. Where AMER once stood there
is now only wide expanse Of mud The
same is the case with Tanara, where the
day after the calamity 704 corpses were
found. The populations Of Karang,
Antoo, Kramat and Mauk were com
pletely destroyed. The market place of
the first of these places was found choked
with dead bodies. At all these spots
the people were drowned by the
huge tidal wave, in some cases as they
were running from their houses to gain
the higher ground, while in other cases
inmates and dwellings were swept away
together. The coast of Southern Su-
matra could not be approached owing to
the dense masses of floating pumice stone
and the danger from the new banks
formed BY the ashes deposited during the
eruption. News reached Batavia that
Telok Betong was almost entirely de-
stroyed and that for many miles along
the coast nothing had escaped destruc-
ton. While Krakatao has been swal-
lowed up by the waves another island
near has been split into five parts, and
sixteen new volcanoes have sprung up in
the middle Of the sea. Dead bodies were
met with in all directions. The distress
Of those left alive was shocking, and
many have since the eruption died Of
starvation, but help was being sent as
fast as possible from Batavia The total
loss Of life will never be known.

sunburned i ihe Arctic Rauinns.

"The most trouble that 1 had in my
first voyage north, said a Maine sailor,
twas from sunburn. Yes, sir-sunburn-
I could stand the cold when she was
forty degrees below zero; I could stand
frozen noses and ears; but bust my
top-rails if l didn't suffer torments
the first time l got sunburnt in the
arctic regions. You see, it was this
way: We were laid up few days before
the close of summer making repairs, in
about seyenty-four degrees north lati-
tude, and right early one morning a
party Of us went ashore to look around.
It was pretty cold, and the consequence
was we were bundled up in half dozen
thicknesses of underclothes, with fur
hoods over our heads, and looked ike
feas in buffalo robe.
Well, sir, along about noon time,
what, with the heat Of the sun, and the
hard exercise that we were taking in get
ting over the snow and ice-hummoclzs 7
was hot as could be, and I just slipped
the hood off my head and went along
for awhile with nothing on it.

Tered one Of the men, Do you want to

81 thought that settled the whole
business, SO kept right along with
bare head, while the other boys, who
were old hands at travelling in the north,
kept covered up. The side of my face
that was next to the sun was hot as fire,
while the side that was in the shade was
froze pretty stiff; but as we kept tacking
around in going from place to place I
showed first one side and then the other
to the sun, and the freezing and cooking
was pretty evenly divided.
You take and stick your head clear
down to the chin in bucket Of scalding
water, and keep it there for five minutes,
and you'll know what felt like when I
got back to the ship that night. My
face was sweIled up 50 that 7 couldn't See

A New York Tenement.


With million to begin with, any
body might soon get as wealthy as Van
derbilt. So says a correspondent. He
describes building in Forsyth street:
It is on lot twenty-five feet wide by
100 deep. An alleyway Of five feet runs
down one side, and on this the tene.
ments face. The whole house, conse-
quently, is twenty feet wide and 100
deep. It is five stories high, and is
divided into five sections, or houses,
each twenty feet square. The apart
ments for family consist Of living
room, thirteen feet square, dark five by
ten bedroom in the rear, and two clothes
closets barely large enough to contain
two cots for children. There is only one
window, and it looks out upon the mar
row, filthy alley, SO that light and venti-
lation are both scant. There is no water
in these houses, the tenants lowering
buckets from the windows by ropes, and
filing them at a hydrant which is sur
rounded by foul pools A drain is
choked with rotten vegetables and other
refuse. But the uncleanliness is not es-
sential to the success Of the wri-
ter's proposed enterprise. What he
wishes to call particular atten-
ton to is the smallness of the homes
and the relative largeness of the rentals.
The prices range from eight dollars a
month on the ground floor to five dollars
or the top, or an average of seven dollars
from each of twenty-four families There

The Death Of the Bull.

A long, bright rapier was handed over
the fence to an expectant torero, appro-
priately known as the matador," or
murderer, who once more had danger
GUS task to fulfill. Waiting ominously
while the bull regained his breath, the
man proceeded to aggravate the animal
from little distance by Haunting the
maddening cloak before his eyes. This
time, however, there was death in the
pot; the gaudy rag concealed keen
blade beneath its treacherous folds. At
length came the furious rush, a sharp
step aside, flash of bright steel-but
no; the opportunity was unfavorable,
and the blade was replaced. Again, and
yet again, this maneuver was repeated,
till finally the wished-for occasion pre-
sented itself, and instantly, with cruel
"chick, " the sharp blade was thrust by
nervous arm into the massive shoulder,
only the dull hilt showing beside the
spinal column We, of course, expected
to see the animal drop dead at once;
hut not at all. He did but dash with re-
newed fury across the arena in hot pursuit
of his tormentor, and his immense strength
and endurance seemed to be affected
but little, if at ALL A few minutes
elapsed and fresh blade was handed to
the matador. Then followed, as before,
the treacherous waving Of the cloak, and
all was expectancy, when there arose q
simultaneous shout Of warning alike from
Sol and Sombra. The mans long sash
had become loose, and one end dangled
on the ground With hasty bow Of
acknowledgment the errant sash was
gathered in, and at the same moment
came the rush Of the furious and despair
ing bull A bright flash, cruel, sick
ening "ehick," and the gallant beast
stumbled and sank on his knee, while a
triumphant shout rent the air. Then the
matador, approaching, drew from his
sash short dagger, drove it between the
vertebrae, and the poor bull Instantly fell
on his side, dead as log. The band
struck up gayly, the distant doors flew
open, and four shapely mules, harnessed
to stout beam and brightly decked with
ribbons, were trotted to the carcase. A
moose was hitched round the mighty
horns, crack went the whip, the caval-
cade swept round the arena at gallop,
and finally disappeared through the open
doors, which were at once slammed to-
gether And Sol and Sombra settled
themselves to await the advent OF fresh
bull.-Lond0n Society.

American nsnsnansr Incraase.

A writer in the Brooklyn Eagle on
American journalism to-day and seventy
years ago says; II VIC take for illus
tration the year 1910, we shall find
that in the whole Union there were
then but 2Ss newspapers and twenty-five
other periodical publications, making
262 in all. OF these the district Of
Maine produced eight; Massachusetts
proper, twenty-four; New Hampshire,
eleven; Vermont, thirteen; Connecticut,
eleven; Rhode Island, seven; New York,
forty-eight; New Jersey, six; Pennsyl-
vania, twenty-five; Virginia, eighteen;
District of Columbia, four; Maryland,
eleven; Delaware, three; North Carolina,
twelve; South Carolina, seven; Georgia,
six; Kentucky, seven; Ohio, seven
Tennessee, five; Louisiana, four; Missis-
sippi territory, one. Now, to illustrate
by single chance example how news
paper literature has extended in these
older States, it is enough to say that there
are now in the district Of Maine fifty
seven papers, Of which twelve are daily,
two tri- weekly, two semi-weekly, one
monthly, and the rest weekly in 1910
as We have seen, there were but eight in
all. In New York city alone, ii we add
tho magazines there are actually none
