Geological Changes.

It is a great mistake to suppose that
the earth is less subject to changes OF
its surface now than it has been in the
past. We see about us the accumulated
results Of countless age- of the activity
of internal and external forces-yol-
canoes, tides, winds, and rains; but are
apt to forget that these agencies are
still at work, and ages hence will have
transformed the earth's surface still
further. Many changes have occurred
within the brief period covered by
human history.
The Japanese say that the great vol.
canic peak of Fusiyama rose suddenly
out of the earth. In 1859 the volcano
of Jorullo in Mexico rose in one night
out Of o cultivated plain. In 1881 a vol.
canic hill rose suddenly out of the mid
die of Lake Hopango, San Salvador;
but in these and similar cases the up.
heaval was accompanied by volcanic
action and earthquakes. But Algiers
is having q new experience. The noun
tain of Naiba, which is about twice as
high as the Crows Nest on the Hudson,
is gradually defending into the bosom
of the earth, q deep excavation being
formed all around it as it settles.
There is no volcanic action accompany
ing it apparently. The mountain seems.
to be gradually loosing its subterrnnean
props.

The Effects Of Tight Boots.

Probably one of the greatest sufferers,
and from a peculiar cause, is Adam
Pfaff, a well-known resident of Warsaw,
N. Y. Three years ago he was drawn
as a juryman, and wore to court at Bath,
a new pair of boots for the first time.
They were too small for him, and al
though they gave him intense pain he
kept them on all of one day. When he
removed his boots at night he found no
relief from his pain, and was unable to
sleep. During the night his feet, legs,
hands, arms and body began to swell,
and his sutferings became so great that
he was obliged to summon aid, and was
removed to his home as soon as posi-.
BILE. From that day to this the pain has
never left him for an instant. His
joints are enlarged greatly, while his
toes, feet and hands are swollen to
three times their natural size. The
flesh on some portions of his body is
shrunken and withered. He is entirely
helpless, and cannot leave his chair
without help, and has to be fed like q
child. Mr.. Pfaff's sufferings are at
times terrible to witness, and he prays
for death. He has spent hundreds OF
dollars in vain efforts to gain relief, and
no physician he has ever called has been
able to understand his case.

Water in the Human System.

Youths Comprehensive muscles OF
the body are about three-fourths water;
the cartilage, three-ffths; the brain and
nerves and blood, each four-ffths.
The lymph is nearly all water %(ninety-
seven hundredths). Even the bones
are one-tenth water. OF the body, as
a whole, sixty-eight parts out of one
hundred are water.
Moreover, water, not only constitutes
the larger part of all the secretions,
but holds in solution all the various ell
ements out of which the body is renewed
and is q flowing stream to receive agair
and carry away the waste which is con.
stantly thrown off at every point. Fur
thur, without it the chemical changes
IN constant progress in every tissue
would be impossible.
Now the water of the body is no more
fixed than arc its solids. Like the lat
ter, having done it's work once. it enters
into the great waste current, and il
thrown from the body through the skin,
the kidneys and the lungs. at an aver
age of over ten pounds a day.
Keeping these facts in view, the read
er will see why water is so much more
essential to life than food man being
able to live several times as long with
out the latter as without the former.
The following facts, condensed from
the American Journal of Medical Sci
ence. indicate the sufferings consequent
on a brief Withholding of this fluid.
In 1877 forty American troopers in
pursuit of Indians lost their way, and
for three days failed to find water.
The second day, some fell from their
horses exhausted. The third day, the
most loathsome fluid would have beer
hailed with delight.
The salivary and mucus fluids had
utterly failed, and the men were unable
to swallow their bread. All we're at
fetced with vertigo, dimness of vision
and deafness. Many were delirious.
Their breathing became difficult, and
they had q sense Of soffocation. Their
fingers and palms were shrivelled and
pale. Their minds became affected, SO
that they grew suspicious of each other.
On the fourth night they we're unable
to sleep. When, the next day, water
was reached and drank, for a while it
was vomited up as fast as it was swol.
lowed, and the thirst remained insati.
able until the remotest tissues of the
body had obtained q supply.

Alaska's Secrets Beng Revealed
by Research.

A Washington telegram to The Gin
innati Times-Star says: There are in
dications that our northern possessions,
which have heretofore been practically
a sealed book to the people of this,
country, are to become better known to
us. The appointment of territorial Of
ficers for Alaska seems to have already
stimulated research and adventure in
that hitherto unknown country, and
there are likely to be some very inter-
esting if not startling developments. A
telegram received here from the com
manler of one of the revenue vessels
in those waters states that his vessel
has just returned from some explor-
atoms in what have been hitherto al
most unknown regions of Alaska, and
that the discoveries are of q very val
liable and interesting nature. A
letter just received from San Francisco
gives some particulars of the arrival
of Capt. Healey there from q tom
with a revenue vessel in that section.
He rescued a party of starving miners
and the crew Of a wrecked whaier far
at the north, saving ninety-eight per-
Sons from q horrible death. He sent a
boat a distance of $50 miles up Che
Kowgat river, a stream hitherto little
explored, obtaining some very valuable
information about the country and the
people, gathering valuable specimens
of minerals, plants and birds. He ex-
plored and photographed o large and
valuable island near Bogastoff, captur-
ed and destroyed q lot of liquor which
whalers and illicit traders were prepar-
ing to sell to the natives, and finally
made a trip far north to rescue the crew
mentioned, encountering ice worse than
any that Schley found in his trip north,
and in spite of the fact that he was
twenty-three days in an almost constant
fog, he dropped anchor within q few
rods of the spot he had started to mako.
Oh hearing of the suffering crew. It is
expected that between the stimulated
spirit of exploration that the appoint
ment of these territorial officers has.
awakened, and the reports of these
officers themselves, the people Of this
country will get within the next few
months more information about this,
distant country than they aver had be-.
fore.

The mortality among this class from ac-

A new refinement in vegetarianism
has been devised. At o recent vege-
terian banquet in England, after the
usual amount of distensive food had
been consumed, a malcontent had the
courage to observe That if we. left off
rearing animals for food it would inter-
fere with clothes. He was, however,
instantly confuted, in the most practi-
cal manner, by q true vegetarian, whe
arose and asserted that he was COM
rletely dressed in materials which had
involved no blood-guiltiness whatever.
a cotton-velveteen vest, a dark linen
drill w%aistcoat, corduroy trousers and

of this animals friend. He also COM
mltted himself to the statement that he
had tasted animal food in his
life.

rEAcnERs. AssocIArIoN.

The Teachers Association Of Hawaii
will convene during the 28th and a0tfi
of the present month at the Y. M. c.
A. Hall. If we are rightly informed, the
first Teachers Association was held here
in 1882, and since that time the Associ.
alton has done much, through It's
yearly meetings, to improve the method
of teaching in this Kingdom and to adj
vance the cause of learning generally.
The present session will doubtless be
as well attended and most probably
more interesting than preceding ses-
sions. The programme, already pub
lished, is good one. The papers which
will be read, the addresses which will
be made, the topics that will be dis.
cussed and the consequent interchange
Of thought, will certainly draw out many
valuable suggestions in regard to teach
ing English to native Hawaiians, and
in regard to other educational matters.
We can now look upon the Associ-
alton as being permanently organized,
and we trust that the interest of its
members will not flag before the many
needed reforms in our school system
are accomplished. Every session Of
the Association is step forward, and
the organization of the Teachers Asso-
citation should always be looked back
to as a marked event in the history OF
education in the Hawaiian Islands.

More Volcanic Trouble in Java.

1t will be remembered that early in
May there was an eruption Of Mount
Smero, the principal volcano in East
crn Java, which extended over some
weeks. The lava poured down the
sides Of the mountain in several
streams, filling wide chasms 800 feet
deep, and practically destroying the
wide belt Of coffee plantations which
lay around the base of the mountain.
Letters from Batavia say that even yet
the extent OF the mischief done has not
been ascertained but it is quite GER
tain that over 400 persons lost their
lives byit. Lately the Mcrabi volcano,
in middle Java, has been causing great
anxiety all over the islands by its indi-
cations Of an approaching outburst.
Then, on the west coast, in the Kraka-
toa district, the scene of great calamity
of two years ago, electrical flashes and
disturbances have become frequent,
accompanied by subterranean rumbling
and explosions. especially in the
neighborhood of the old crater. The
great rock masses which were thrown
up from the sea IN the cataclysm ol
August, 1883, have again suddenly
disappeared, and there isnow consid
cradle depth of water where they
stood few month ago.
