The chain and ball seems to be the
leading style in the novelties sent out
by Durand, the famous New York
fashioner. Tie chain is very fine and
the ball perfectly round. and about the
size of an English sugar plum. These
are attached to ladies' fob chains, an
elegant new triflc. and the ends of
bracelets, and are also worn as ear
rings. The balls are studded with
tiny rubies, or with turquoise and
diamonds. and many of the chains have
fine Jewels worked into them. The
barbaric but stylish hoop earring has
returned in the shape of a semi-circle
ot nugget gold, and is now in high
favor. A new engagement ring is a

Yours respectfully,
Earthquakes and Volcanoes,

The theory that there is an intimate
connection between earthquakes and
volcanoes does not appear to be well
founded. There are number of vol
canoes in sections where earthquakes
are seldom felt, and earthquakes are
frequent where there are no volcanoes.
In the tropics where both are frequent,
there is more or less sympathy between
them. The fall of large portion of
the earth's crust into the central sea of
molten lava is very liable to start the
smoke out of the earth's chimneys, Just
as charge OF coal thrown into fur
mace sends the smoke out of the tall
stack. Should large body OF water
accompany the falling mass then an
explosion takes place, an earthquake
shock is felt, and the escaping steam
carries ashes and lava out with it

Silver, copper and other metals have

Silver, copper and other metals have

drifts have been driven in the side of

One shaft has been sunk from the top
to a depth OF forty feet. The first
drift is at the foot Of the mountain.
Silver and copper ores were found at
the surface. 1t is driven 100 feet, and
shows the vein of ore sioping or lead
ing to the bed of the Susquehanna
river. This ore, under analysis, con-
tains $3.50 in silver to the ton, and
20 per cent. copper. Eighty feet west
of this vein is another containing the
same ore and about the same proper
ton. The second and third drifts are
midway up the mountain side. One is
driven in seventy feet; the other forty,
showing q vein of ore from the start,
each containing manganese. iron and
silver, the amount of silver being $40

Two of q Kind.

Did you ever notice a catfish snuD-
bling his way along the shore of a creek?
How he noses his way slowly along up
the little inlets, along bits of driftwood.
around chunks of clay, says Bob Bur-
dette in the Brooklyn Eagle. He never
hurries, doesn't often appear to find
anything, isn't particularly anxious to
keep in the shade. doesn't seem to
care very much whether you see him
or not, he just snubs along the shore,
idly, noiselessly, with never splash or
a ripple; he nibbles at some inedible
substance once in while and then
abandons it. drifts on little farther,
finds worm or bug. swallows it with
the air of fish who has found what
he has been searching for along five
miles of coast line. and disappears into
deep water.
Now. do you know the catfish de-
velopes into a man? Here is field
for Mr.. Darwin. Any warm, very
warm, sunny day on the Ohio river,
when the water is low enough to be
yellow, you can see the man who is
evolved from this catfish. He has a
low skiff, usually square at each end;
~ AoA y OA0Shy . o%oVs Az 4OOAb 40
though he intended to make it sharp
bowed. but lacked energy enough to
draw the sides quite together. 1t is
the dirtiest skiff on the river. A hard
rain or a sweeping freshet makes it
dirtier. The rowlocks are bits of sap
ling stuck in holes. The man who owns
that boat will hunt for days for bit of
growing timber tho. right size rather
thar white down piece of hickory.
He rows along the still river with the
motions and the instincts of a catfish.
He never hurries. His oars drop into
the water without a splash, and he
softly raises them without a ripple.
He noses his way along the bank The
spectacle of this man rowing down the
middle of the stream is as rare as sun
shine at picnic. Sometimes he wants
to cross over to the other shore, but
then he rows very rapidly in mid
stream, the only time he is ever known
to make any exertion. Along the shore
is his favorite haunt, and here he aud
the catfish are twins, and he the dirtier
and lazier. He paddles suspiciously
up TO bits of driftwood, occasionally
hauling some broken plank aboard his
craft. He has a sluggish but wary eye
for floating casks and kegs; like the
other catfish he rejects four-tifths of the
things he inspects, and what he accepts
seems to give him very little pleasure.
You never meet either of this party in
clear water or on cold days. But if the
sun is hot, the water muddy. a sense of
malaria present in the adjacent swamps
you may wander along the bank of the
river and look for the catfish snubbing
along the shore. And when you have
found him, lift up your eyes and To-.
the man in the boat is not one hun
dred yards away. And you will won
der which of the twain evolved the
other.
