1t is undoubtedly the greatest part OF

success, and where there is success there
is fortune. Now, the idea is how to ac-

Volcanic Fertilizers.

Every observant traveller who visits
Etna and Vesuvius admires the wonder
ful fertility of the country around the
volcanoes. The defeat of Hannibal has
been attributed to the enervating infu-
ence of sojourn on the luxurious plains
of Capua. The explanation of this is
afforded by some analyses made by l..
Rlcciardi of ashes elected from Vesuvius
on the 25th of February, 1882. He found
in them four and one-third per cent. of
phosphate of lime and more than five
and one-half per cent. of potash, and
that the ash evolved sensible quantity of
ammonia when treated with caustic pot
ash. These and other constituents indi-
cate a valuable fertilizer provided it is
distributed in q pulverized condition,
and such distribution takes place over
very large area of country during an
eruption, for the masses of lava-crust
elected perpendicularly from the crater
fell back toward it, and on their way
down encounter other pieces coming up
ward, and thus they are so continually
crashing together that they grind each
other into dust, which is blown as soon
as the particles become small enough to
yield to the wind. At the great eruption
OF Tomboro, on the island of Sumbawa
(east of Java, which continued from
April 8. 1916, to the beginning of June,
some of the dust thus formed travelled to
Tara and Celebes, a distance of three
hundred miles, and caused q darkness
described by Sir Stamford Raffies as
more profound than that of the darkest
night This dust was deposited over an
area estimated at about two thousand
miles in circumference, and in some
places was so deep as to do serious mis-
chief This, of course, is an extreme
instance, but during ordinary eruptions
a deposit of some inches in depth is
spread over vast areas, supplying ''top
dressing" that our farmers would envy.

forcef T saw him driving lot of hogs
TO the pound yesterd day"
That's what ] am laughing about"
said the boy, as he put an apple on the
stove to bake It. '-Pa has gone to the
pound after the hogs this morning.
You see, have been taking lessons
in painting and drawing, and the
other day l surprised ma by
showing him picture of a blue COW,
with green tail and old gold horns,
and he told me he never saw anything
more natural, and he advised me to turn
my attention entirely to animal painting.
Pr keeps four hogs in pen in the back
lot, and every day he turns them out in
the alley and let's them run, and takes
them up when they come home. The
hogs are large white ones, regular beau
ties, and pa thinks thinks about as much
of them as he does cf me. Well, pa told
me to go and turn the hogs out yester-
day, and l took my paint brush along
and before turning them out ] painted
black spots all over the hogs. You never
see lot ofspeckled hogs, where the spots
were put on any better. The hogs looked
at each other kind of astonished, and |
turned them out. In the afternoon, pa
went out to the pen and began to call,
'poig, poig, and the pigs came running
up the alley. Pa saw the strange hogs
coming, and he got mad and drove them
out the alley, and then he called for his
pigs again, in muscular tone of voice,
and the speckled hogs came again, O lit
tie slower, and seeming to wonder what
allied pa. They acted as though they
felt hurt at being received in such a
violent manner. Pa met the sueckled
hogs with a broom, and he run them
down the alley again, and the hogs stood
off and looked at him as though they
thought he had the jim-jams. You'd a
dide to see pa drive his own hogs
away, and talk sassy. He got pail
OF swill and called the hogs again,
and they came on a gallop, and then
pa called q policeman and they drove
the hogs to the pound. didn't see pa
last night, but the first thing this morn
ing told him had taken his advice,
and turned my attention to animal paint
ing, and that had painted spots on our
white hogs, and made speckled hogs of
them, and that speekled hogs were worth
cent q pound more than white
hogs. Well, pa didn't faint away, but
when it all came over him, that he had
drove his own hogs to the pound, he was
so cross he could have bit nail. But he
didn't say anything to me, cause spose
he didn't want to discourage my artistic
ambitions, but he has gone down to the
pound after the hogs. May be the rain
has washed the spots off. and the man
that keeps the pound will not let pa have
white hogs when he left speckled ones
there. However, didn't warrant the
hogs to be fast colors, anyway. Do you
think it was wrong to put spots on the
hogsa"-Peck's Sun.

A Procession of Snn.Snnfs.

Everybody who watched the sun with
telescope last summer must have won
dered at the great belt of spots lying
across the southern part of the disk dur
ing last half of July. Several of the spots
and groups were of extraordinary size,
and their arrangement was very singular.
When the belt extended completely across
the sun, there was visible at one time
most every characteristic form that sun
spots present. There was the yawning
black chasm with sharply defined yet
ragged edges, vast enough to swallow up
the whole earth, with room to spare, and
surrounded by regular penumbral bor-
der as evenly shaded as an artist could
have made it; there was the double or
triple spot whose black centers, though
widely separated from one another, were
tangled, as it were, in one twisted and
torn veil of penumbra, or connected by
long, shadowy bands; there was the
monstrous spot of grotesque form sur
rounded by a crowd of smaller spots
OF even more fantastic shape, and envel-
oped In broad, irregular penumbra as
bizarre and wonderful as the mighty sun
chasms inclosed in it; there was the
great spot, often of singular outline. ac-
companied outside its shadowy borders
by one or more swarms of minute black
specks pitting the white photosphere in
the most extraordinary fashion; there
was the huge group, visible even to the
unassisted eye, and consisting of half
dozen or more large spots intermingled
with smaller ones whose number seemed
to defy counting, and enveloped in a
penumbral cloak of becoming amplitude;
there, near the edges of the disk, were
the crinkling lines and heaped-up masses
of facule, the mountainous hydrogen
flames which marked the places where
the intensest solar action was going on
in short, there was panorama in which
every variety of sun-spot seemed to be
passing in a gigantic procession across
the disk. And what a procession it
was!--long enough, nearly, to reach
from the earth to the moon and back

Old Clocks.

The old brass clocks went only thirty
hours, and were set in motion by weight
attached to Il chain which passed over
sheave having spikes in the groove.
which caught in the links of chain and
required to be drawn up every day.
There was a counterpoise at the other
end of the chain, and sometimes a single
weight was contrived to serve both the
going4and the striking parts, and there
was occasionally an alarm.
On the introduction of the long pen
dulum clocks seemed to have assumed
different character. Catgut was
substituted for the chain, and bar
rels were introduced on which the cat
gut was wound up, and, a greater
length of line being employed, clocks
were made to 60 for eight days instead
OF thirty hours, and a chime of bells
playing every quarter of an hour was
often added; the weights and long
pendulum hung down, and, as there
was danger of their action being inter
ferred with, tall wooden cases were
made to protect them, on the top of
which the movement was placed. This
was probably the origin and date of
the tall, upright clock cases, which
were often made of ornamental woods
and enriched with fine marquetry. We
have one in mind, an early marquetry
case, made in 1890, by Thomas Tom
pion, with beautiful set of chimes, and
it is an admirable timekeeper, though it
has only the original iron wire for the
pendulum rod; and similar instances are
numerous. The earlier cases are made of
oak and walnut, the mahogany cases
being of the following century, when
the wood was introduced. The brass
tuition and pillar" clocks seem to have
e out OF use about this time, and
Nbly few were made at the end of
'enteenth century.
