For those of Germ.ny's citizens who

appear pregnant with dire forebodings
Anticipated though the change OF yester-
day was, nobody knows how the relations
between the nations snd "Our Fritz" will
be supplsnted. William II though ad-
mired by the feudal lords Of the realm,
has not even that military "chic" about
him which made emperor, Frederick

The ruler of the sge CT fftY-seven stood
closer to- the people than the cavalry

LOUISIANA SALT MINES.
4 Belt of SaIiferous Deposit-Pure ROcI
SaIt-Pepper Fields.

= Belt of SaIiferous DepOsit-Pure Roch
Salt-Pepper Fields.
One of the visitors to the mines explained
to Mr.. Ely that there was belt of saliferous
deposit in Louisiana extending from BoSsler
and Bienville parishes, above Red river, to
the Gulf. The largest of these deposits ap-
pears to be the beds of ancient exhausted
lakes. Salt springs were known to exist on
Petite AnSe island from the earliest date, but
the works were abandoned until the blockade
during the war raised the price of salt SO
high in the southern states that Major Avery
reopened them for the use of the Confeder-
acy. 1t was at this time that he came uneX-
pectedly upon the enormous stratum of pure
rock salt, which underlies the soil Like the
island of Ormuz, in the Persian gulf, Petite
AnSe is apparently only a huge rock of salt.
The mines have now been in operation
about twenty years. The salt is excavated in
large masses by blasting with dynamite. 1t
is so pure that it is prepared for the market,
not by melting and refining, as in the Eng
hsh mines, but simply by grinding into the
requisite grades of fineness. The native crys-
tails detached by blasting are as clear and
translucent as glass. Mr.. Ely went down into
the mine, and wandered through it's far
treating corridors, whose pillars and lofty
arches shone with a soft silvery radiance
When the lights of the torches struck into the
darkness overhead, the domes flashed back
such splendors of color that it seemed to
Mr.. Ely as if he had entered one of the caves
underground where the Trolls have stored
all the jewels of the world
''This is all surprise to me-" said one of
the visitors-a stout professor from some col
lege in Indiana-as he stepped from the ele-
vatOr into the upper air. II actually did not
know there was mine of salt in the United
States"
"And yet" said their guide, quickly, ''you
have no doubt used our salt on your table for
years. We ship it to every large town in the
north and west"
This little island of Petite Anse furnishes
pepper as well as salt to our tables. TObasco,
or the distilled cayenne, dear to the hearts OF
gourmands and chefs, is manufactured here
out of a wild pepper peculiar to Louisiana.
Two or three fields produce enough Of the
cultivated pods to send their essence to all
parts of this country and to Europe. 1t is
one of the numl ~ less minor industries which
have sprung into life throughout the south
since the war, and which hint at the strength
and vitality of that long sterile soil.-Re
becca Harding Davis in Harper's Magazine.

A Mass of Ambergris.

The fact that schooner, which had ar
rived at Gloucester, had picked up off Cape
Sable a mass of amb&gris, weighing 125
pounds, has started inquiry as to the nature
and market value of the substance. It's use
in Europe and the United S4ates is entirely
confined to perfumery, although it formerly
occupied no inconsiderable place in medicine.
In the east it is used in pharmacy and as q
havoring material in cookery Its value is
from $18 to $25 per ounce, according to
quality. 1t is solid, fatty, infammable
substance, of dull gray or blackish color, the
shades being variegated like marble, and
possessing peculiar sweet, earthly odor.
This substance is formed in the intestines
of the spermaceti whale, being morbidly Sc
creted, and floats on the water. Vessels pick
it up in the Atlantic ocean, on the coasts of
Brazil and Madagascar, on the coast of
Africa, East Indies, China, Japan, the Ba-
hama Islands and sometimes on the North
American coast. The largest lump ever
heretofore found weighed 1872 pounds. The
whales in which it has been discovered were
either dead or much wasted, and evidently in
a sickly condition. But it is believed that
ambergris, from the position in which it ex-
lists and it's chemical constitution is hillary
concretion analogous to what is found in
other mammals.-Boston Transcript

Causes of Premature Death.

Most of those who die between 25 and 60,
unless they die by accident, die by some in
discretion. 1t is the over indulgence of appe-
tite, or the neglect Of food when needed, or
the overstrain of Desfness, or exposure to
changes of temperature without correspond
ing change of clothing. Most people of
these ages are conscious of the error after it
has been made, or others are conscious of it
for them. Without undue captiousness we
can note changed conditions, and adapt our
selves thereto Multitudes die prematurely
by reason of an indiscretion which might
have been easily avoided. 1t is intelligent
caution that saves sickness, and this caution
ought to be in possession and exercise before
middle life. 1t is SO much easier to prevent
serious sickness than it is to secure recovery
from it. Hence it is that so many that are
deficient in vigor in early life outlive the
vigorous and the careless. Necessity com
pels them to study their changing conditions
of health, and SO teaches them the benefits of
adaptiveness to conditions and circumstances
independent.

Superstition on the Stage.

''There is as much superstition among &C
tors as there is among sailors" remarked a
member of the profession to a reporter.
"They are forever on the lookout for signs,
and these are construed into all kinds Of
meanings. The placing of a chair on the
stage in a peculiar position will be taken to
mean something in connection with their sue
cess, while the action of a single individual in
the audience will have a decided effect upon
their future course.
cit is while rehearsing a new play that the
greatest amount of superstition is INDUCED
in with actors and managers.
Zone of the most noticeable is the effect of
the lines upon the members of the company
If laugh or even a smile is provoked by the
witticism of the author it is regarded as a
bad omen for the success of the piece If q
pathetic passage causes remark regarding
its beauty, the conclusion is at once reached
that the play will not be go, and when the
effect is in the opposite direction their spirits
rise and the belief is entertained that all will
be well with the play. There are probably
100 other signs upon which actors hang the
fate of themselves or the play to be pro-
duced. "-Philadelphia Bulletin.

ED. P. G. ADvERTIsER-SIR: That
anybody dealing in anything but ignor-
ance, much less eight" could, at the
present day, have spoken the words
mentioned by ELECTRICITY" in his COM
munication of yesterday, seems incred-
IDLE. Is there really person living in
Honolulu, who has neither read of nor
seen, the beautiful incandescent lamp,
perhaps the only perfect piece of
mechanical work of this or any age. It
seems so, for in your correspondents let
ter we have stated the case of a poor, be-
nighted creature who comforts his petty
soul with the belief that the arc lamp is
sciences only achievement in utilising
electricity to produce an artificial light.
The ingenious demand of electricity
acquaintance for light to dispel the dark
ness in which his mind was, only day
ago enveloped. is an urgent one
and ought to be supplied forthwith.
"Electricity's" letter has, [ hope, done
something to this end. But as it may
be that others whom your paper does not
reach may be cropping in darkness, may
[ suggest chow to reach the old men"
to inform them what progress science
has made during the last twenty years to
provide mankind with an artificial do
nestle light-the arc lamp is not do
nestle lamp-which is as superior to gas
light as gas light is to sulphur matches
as an illuminant.
| have said that the incandescent
lamp is perhaps the only perfect piece of
mechanical contrivance that we have. L
feel now that in this / have said too
much of it for it yet lacks the ability to
dispense a sweet fragrance like the rose
or gardenia, which ought to vary to suit
the taste of the individual. 1t is
to be hoped this serious want will soon
be supplied. But to my suggestion. 1t
is that some one capable deliver a lee
ture on f'The Incandescent Lamp" The
oracle of Surgeons Tabernacle has
said, that the man who could not speak
on the candle in an interesting way for

man who has seen the lamp, whose
claims l am proud to know, but could
talk about sciences best gift with an
eloquence that would make an American
thinking of "the day we celebrate" green
with envy.
But let the lecture be only instructive
which it will best be by being illustrated
and there will be, as there ought to be,
no question about the ACCESSIBILITY of the

trio light in our houses as we'll as in our
streets.
won't say that electricity" is as
ignorant of gas as his friend was of the
incandescent lamp, say, last week, but
his statement about the days of gas
plant being numbered, places him there
abouts.
Would he be surprised to hear of gas
being a mere bi-product of coal and
what would he and his friend think of
the motive power for driving dynamo
