The Island Of Java

The scene OF the destructive eruptions
and earthquakes is an island six hundred
and sixty miles long and varying In
width from ffty-six to one hundred and
tLirty-five miles. It is the fourth in
point Of size Of the islands comprising
the Malay Archipelago, being exceeded
10y Borlieo, Sumatra and Ctlehes. The
coast line Of the. island. although very
irregular, Is almost entirely destitute OF
hmrbors, particularly on the south SID;
nut there are many good roadstead.
where vessels can get safe anchorage on
the north side. Java, in common with
most OF the is}ands OF the Indian Ocean.
ls Of volcanic origin. A range of moun
tains extends through the centre from
md to end, varying in height from four
thousand &c twelve tho1saud feet. and
in that line are no less than thirty-eigh,
volcanoes, most OF which are in a con.
slant state OF activity. Another range
OF high land run close to and parallel
with the south I'm coast. and this is also
broken by many volcanoes that have
from time to time erur.ed with dis
astrous effects to the villages near a,
hand. One Of them-Papandayang-ia
one night in 1T2 threw out so much
ashes and scoria that il covered az area
Of seven miles radius to the depth oil
over fifty feet and cansed the loss OF
many thousands Of lives, and so did lis
neighbor, Galungong, in 1872. There
is no doubt bnt that the group Of islands
Of which Java forms the southern boun.
Diary is one Of the most prominent cen.

was thrown to-day in the tank; 1t sank q
long way, and the bear waited quietly till
after some time it rose . little out Of her
reach. She then made current in the vs.
ter with her paw. and thus brought it with
in reach. This habit has already been sew
eral times noticed in polar bears. She then
TOOK il on shore and tried to break it by
leaning her weight on it with one paw.
Failing in this, she took the nut between
her fore pave, raised herself on her hind
legs to her full height, and threw the nut
forward against the bars of the den, or 4
feet of. She then again leaned her weight
on it, hoping she had cracked it, but failed
again. She then repeated the process, this
time successfully. The keeper told me she
employed the same method to break the
leg bone of q horse. That this is the re-
suit of individual experience, and not of
instinct. is clear from the fact that her COM
panion has not learned the trick of opening
them thus, nor could this one do it when
she first came The method of throwing it
is precisely similar to that adopted by the
Cebus monkey described by Mr.. Romsnes.

So Vivalla was told that Jenny Lind
would like TO see bis dog perform the very
next day at four o'clock precisely. Full
half an hocr before the time appointed she
took her seatst the window to watch for
the italian and his dog. and when she saw
him coming punctual to the minute. she
ran down-stairs like child, and opened the
door for him herself. Mot.oning the SER
want away, she took the little wheel in her
arms, saying
"Itis very good Of you TO come with
your dog. Follow me; will carry the
wheel"
In her beautiful psrlors the tender
woman, sought alike by the wealthy
and the great, devoted herself to the
delighted italian, getting down upon her
knees to pet his dog, playing and singing to
him, asking after his friends in Italy, and
finally carrying his wheel again to the door
whea the lad departed.
1t does the heart good to hear of such
acts. Egives Us new faith that the world
can not spoil. with all its fattery and
temptation, truly noble life. Great as an
artist, Benny Lind was still greater in her
pure, human. character.
It is said that there is as good music in

but donot hear them. To me her won
derful voice seems IN memory more like the
music thct makes the harmonies of bright
er and better world than the music that en-
chants the world to-day.
