OF the speakers. This manifestation of bitter.

the bottom, but the rest of us could not
perceive it. There were many evidences
of recent discharges, however, one of
ence of flakes of sulphur on the ground,
which must have been deposited there
since the last rainfall.
1t is the prevailing theory among
local amateur scientists that the five act
i've volcanoes of Costa Rica are con-
nected by underground passages, and
are all chimneys of the same terrestrial
furnace; that more than one is seldom
active, but that at least one is always in
state OF eruption, as an escape for gas
and vapors from the subterranean fires,
that it is universally the rule for earth
quakes of great force to follow sup
preston of activity in all of them, and a
sense of relief always prevails when the
discharges are heavy and frequent. But
while the interruption of activity is i'm
mediately succeeded by upheavalS else
where. earthquakes are frequently felt,
though not i'm such force, while the vol
canoes are active. This is accounted
for by the fact that gas is not emitted as
fast as it accumulates, and that VIXEN it
gathers in quantities sufficient to reach
the sparks from the subterranean fires:
it eNplodes in the caverns and causes an
oscillation of the earth above. These
explanations are very plausible and gen.
orally accepted as true, although, as /
have said, the phenomenon has never
been studied by men of scientific repu,
tation, who might find here an interest

Mfssent Letters Can be Remailed without
Additional Expense.
| Two men stood near letter-box in
Broadway disputing about sealed let
ter whichsole of them held in his hand.
The letter had been posted at an office
in Virginia and carrier had delivered
it at an uptown address. In the mean.
time the person to whom the letter was
addressed had left the city. The origi.
nal address had been erased and one in
a distant town had been written below it.
"IOu will have to put another stamp
on il" said the stoutcr of the two men
to the one who held the letter.
That's possible, but my wife told
me ! only needed to drop it into box
She ought to know about such things,
because she re-majls lots of letters that
come to the house"
why didn't she look after this ono
them"
Because she wanted it sent from
down town so that it would get out
quicker
"Well, if you post it without another
stamp it will not 60 at all. Women
don't know about such things"
A letter-carrier approached the box
at that moment and an appeal was made
to him. He glanced at the envelope and
said: That needs another stamp be-
cause it is not city letter. If it were
going to another part of the city the old
stamp would carry it,
do you mean to say that this letter
would be detained at the Office for post
age?"
well, perhaps they would send it
and charge the extra postage at the
other end of the line. You had better
see the station agent about it.
There" said the stout man after the
carrier had walked away, "you see how
much your wife knew about it,
Come on to the station and if she is
wrong / will pay for two cigars"
They went to Station A and the letter
was shown to the agent there. That's
all right" was his curt comment.
but carrier has told me it would
need another stamp because it was
going out Of the city again"
The law nsed to be that wav," the
agent said, .'but it has been changed,
and every carrier ought to know it. Now
a letter can be remailed as often as
necessary within the United States to get
it to the owner without extra postage
The only limit is the number of changes
that can be made in addresses on the
face of the envelope. ~ Y. Tribune.

The Invention of Paper.

How, when, or by whom paper was
first invented will never be known.
According to Hallam. documents on
paper are found as early as the tenth
century. and it came into use not long
after this era. and completely supplant-
ed all other materials which were
formerly employed for the purposes for
which it is now used. 1t will be observed
that the invention of paper of some
kind was an absolute necessity before
there could be printing. as parchment
was far to expensive to use for the pur-
pose, even were it otherwise perfectly
adapted TO this use. The use of paper
in Western Europe dates from the
time mentioned, but it was known to the
Chinese long before the Christian era,
and it is believed that they used the
bark OF various trees, the soft part of
the bamboo stems. cotton and several
other kinds of vegetable fibers. From
the Chinese it supposed to have spread
to India, thence to Arabia and the manu-
facture was introduced into Europe by
the Moors of Spain. but about this there
is no certainty. The rice paper of the
Chinese is made in the same general
way as the papyrus of the ancient
Egyptians. by placing in proper order
layers of fibers and cementing them
with sizing or glue. The first patent
for paper making was taken out in
England in 1868. but it was for making
blue paper. such as is used by bakers"
The next. for making writing papers.
was in 1873. and covered writing and
printing papers. ST. Louis Globe Den.
