A SEA OF FIRE.
The Unusual Phenomena Witnessed
in Sunda Strait.

LONE unusual phenomena were obser.
we'd by Capt John Newman, commanding
the bark Kelvin, during his recent cruise
in the East Indies. On his voyage from
Singapore to New York his track lay
through Sunda Strait, which separates
Java from Sumatra, and through which
passes large portion of the trade OF
China, also most of the trade of Batavia
and other ports of the Java and China
seas. The great channel is limited on the
north by the conspicuous island of Krs-
katoa, on which is the volcano that
kicked up such rumpns while in state
OF eruption few years ago, the effects of
which, it is fair to presume, are contin
ued in measure to the present day. The
changes in the locality resulting from the
eruption have been so great that new
survey has been necessary, and vessels are
still advised to take every precaution
when navigating near the shore or coming
to an anchor there.
On June 26 last, the Kelvin was quietly
going along with sails barely filled by the
light southerly airs that caused hardly
ripple on the surface. About II 80 in the
evening, when about eight miles east
northeast from the entrance to Sunds
Strait, which is marked by Krakatoa,
the water suddenly appeared on
fire in patches Of about two feet
in diameter. These patches were
about eight or ten feet apart and radi,
ated in long lines from the vessel as ia,
as the eye. could see. They ex.
tended in every direction, the bark her
self being the central point. The Cap
tain at first thought the show was due
to an unusual phosphorescence, the like
Of which none of the hands aboard, sailors
though they were, could ever remember
having seen before. The patches seemed
to pulsate as the bark slowly sailed along,
and their brilliancy would change with
each successive throb, growing quite
dim and then suddenly springing into
their full blaze of light. These pulsa-
tions continued for about three-quarters
of an hour, the rate frequently running
as high as sixty to the minute. When
the light would reappear after its mo-
mentary dullness, the water seemed to
be literally on fire and the flame on top
moved like the idle tapping of the top.

A Strange Habit.

While the water front is not notice
ably infected by opium ficnds, still il
nurtures other vices fully as bad. One
of them was told to q Chronicle reporte,
yesterday There is a small army OF
men on the front reduced in money and
morals, against whom every saloon is
barred. Too poor to buy whiskey and
beer they selected Chinese drink, san
chau, as last resort. Sam chau is vul.
carly called ''Chinese gin" 1t appears
to be as deleterious in effect as opium,
producing an imitation of the body, and
making its users physical wrecks. There
are many victims of this strange habil
along the water front. BY doing odd
jobs of work they get few bits together
enough to purchase quart of sam
chau in Chinatown. They make their
nightly rendezvous on jackson street OF
some other wharf The "gin" is heated
over spirit lamp and drank, stupidity
subsequently coming over the bibblers.
They can readily be distinguished BY
swelled proportions, their sluggish gait
and their pale, haggaFd faces.--[San

Misused Words.

Many words in common use have
originated in an error. A posthumous
child was the latest born, and should
be spelled "postumous, from the Latin
"postumus;" but some very clever per.
son thought that it came from "post
humum,' and meant one born after the
father was in the ground; and so the
spelling became changed. HARLEQUIN
owes its spelling to false idea that II
was connected with Charles CUNT
but this was the blunder originally of
French etymologists. The article an
has caused a few blunders. A nick
name was originally an ekename-thst
is, IAN additional name;" as also newt
was an ewt On the other hand an
adder was originally nadder, and an
umpire was numpire-that is, a non.
peer. Azure ought to be lazur. but
this mistake was made in the French.
where lazur was mistaken for l,azur.
The word comes from the low Latin
lazur, blue-colored stone, generally
known as lapis lazuli. The Latin name
comes from the mines of Laiwurd
where the mineral was found. We
laugh at the gardener who always spoke
OF China asters as Chinese oysters"
or the old woman who suffered much
from "brown crisis" (bronchitis), or the
other old woman who liked to hear
about the Syrup Finishing woman"
(Syro- Ph@nician); but we do not see
funny in speaking of Tartars.
when we mean the people whose real
name is Tatars. The sailor talk about
the Billy Rough 'un," when he means
the Bellerophon, because he does not
