The woods are full Of workers in the silver
field, principally Italians For some reason. or
other the Italians appear to take kindly to
the making of bogus silver dollars with Plas-
ter molds They are the meanest people in
the Businessmen to catch and mean to
handle after detection. In,New York there
is quite nest of these fellows, and though
we get after them once in a while and put a
lot of them in Jail, it is impossible to clean
them out. They are satisfied with making
and passing few dollars a week.
With plaster.mold, bar Of antimony
and a little bell metal put in to make the coin
ring the Italian counterfeiter has no difficulty
in turning out passable sort Of a silver dol
lar at a cost of four cents The Italians have
almost a monopoly of the silver business, for
the regular, skillful counterfeiters will not
touch that line of work They say # does
not pay On the other hand, there are no
Italian engravers. Every Italian koniacker
has string of passers who work for him,
and it IS an actual fact that among these
manufacturers there is a good deal Of coIpe
titioi and jealousy. TheR have a regular
scale,6f prices to the middlenen who stand
between them and the public, and If a'man
is caught cutting the prices he stands good
chance of being nabbed by our men. His
envious rivals contrive to give him away

At Susapville, in the Sierra Nevadas, peo-

slant trembling Of the earth that they pay
no attention to it. These shocks, however,
have revived recollections Of old settlers, who
Predicted volcanic disturbances in the ex-
tinct craters suOa as took place in 1850.
Susanville lies In a high mountain walled
valley, directly east Of Lassen Butte, an ex-
tinct volcano 10, 500 feet high. From its sum-
nit no less than forty extinct craters can be
seen. Cinder Cone which rises COO feet above
the level Of the plateau, was in eruption in
1850. Two prospectors visited it, and they
found Lake Satafara, eight miles south Of
Cinder Cone, a center Of volcanic forces. The
lake was mass Of boiling water and mud,
and from it vast columns Of flames shot up
at intervals. Timber in the vicinity was on
fire. Within two years there seemed renewed
activity in the internal fires, and the present
shocks point to the possibility Of another
great volcanic outburst which will find vent
through some of the old craters.-New York

SHE WAS A TERROR.

Referring to the Abandoned Schooner

She was q terror to many a stout
hearted ships officer as long as she
floated. was the sailorless schooner w.
l.. White. That is, after she was ADAM
doned by her crew during the blizzard Of
March, 1888. She was freighted with
lumber and SO could not sink. She
was abandoned Z few miles off
the mouth Of Delaware bay, and
her course was determined almost
as much, perhaps. by tho mainsail
that, though double reefed. was
set when she was deserted, as by the cur
rents. The accompanying chart shows
her course in a general way, though no
one knows just how many twistings and
windings she made during her trip, and
it would be impossible to show in so
small a space all that is known Of her
course. The angles in the course, as
shown. indicate her location at the times
she was sighted Her final landing took
place at Haskeir. one Of the Hebrides
Islands. Fortunately TO vessel. SO far
as known, came in collision with the

the trees were bare, and the hills Of
Staten Island were white with snow
And what is that looming up from Bed
loe's Island. which, when she left, was
comparatively bare? 1t is the great
Statue Of Liberty. Since her departure
the great celebration Of its inaugura-
ton has taken place and the statue haa
ceased to be q nine days wonder, at
least to New Workers, who see it every
time they cross the Hudson river.
The Juniata cruised in tropical eli
mates. She visited the Cape dc Verde
Islands, Brazil, Uruguay, Falkland
Islands, Straits Of Magellan, Smyths
channel, Chill, Peru. United States of
Colombia, Costa Rica, Nicaragua, Mex
leo, Hawaiian Islands. Japan, China,
Corea, Formosa, India, Ceylon, Arabia,
Suez canal, Egypt, Italy, France, Rock
of Gibraltar, Madeira and West India
Islands.
The mere statement that ship has
been around the world conveys little
meaning. We do not grasp the adven-
lures of the crew, the singular and varied
appearance of foreign ports, the calms
the storms, simooms, cyclones, hurri-
canes. The little vessel, slowly plying
over the surface Of oceans, above the
plains and peaks which lie hidden below,
passes over a distance which on the
equator, not counting the farms Of the
ships course, is n, goo miles. Mean
while the planet on which this infinite
speck 10 sailing, spinning on its axis,
swings two and half times round the
sun, and has traversed n distance Of
more than six hundred millions Of miles
While between Hong Kong and Singa-
pore, of the Gulf Of Tonquin, the Juni-
alta encountered typhoon, the dreaded
hurricane Of that region. and for
twelve hours the crew toiled-tossed
on the gigantic seas, the spray driven
over the decks by tile wind-to
save their vessel from destruction.
One by one the boats were swept
away; the sailing launch, the gig,
first cutter and second whale boat. The
fore storm staysail was torn to shreds
and fluttered in the wind, cracking like
an immense whip. For time the crew
began to suspect that they would never
return to New York bay, but the Juniata
weathered tho hurricane, and early one
morning She sailed into Singapore, aston
ishing the natives by her battered and
bruised appearance.
This is the Juniata's last trip. She
was built in 1861, and has been in com
mission more than a quarter of a cen
fury She is now out of date. She will
soon either be sold under the hammer,
for some service Of drudgery, or put her
nose into one Of the slips Of Rotten Row.
