1 Volcano at Sea.

Only last fall there was a strange oc-
currence near the island of Pantellaria,
between Sicily and Tunis, which would
have filed the imagination Of a Homer
or a Virgil with pictures of d supernat-
ural monsters and p~oetical fancies about
the e~Etravagant doings of the deities of
tn" sea.
\ submarine volcanic eruption Oc-
CURED there, and the inhabitants of the
island saw what seemed like some great
fish disporting himself in the troubled
water, while columns of smoke arose
around him.
Those who ventured neal to the scene
in boats saw hot volcanic bombs, com
posed Of black ~scoriaceOus material,
rising to the top Of the water and there
running and darling about in the most
singular fashion under the impulse of
the steam which they discharged. Some
bounded more than sixty feet up into
the air as the steam exploded.
Such Outbursts Of heated matter from
the bed Of the sea furnish perhaps an
even more impressive indication than or
binary volcanic eruptiOns do of the
strange conditions prevailing at no
great depth beneath the surface Of the
e~arth.-GOuth's Companion.

The best antidOte for the bite of a
mosquito undoubtedly is ammonia,
weakened with a little water or salt
and water. Some people go so far
as TO press the poison out Of the
bite with some small metal instru-
ment like the point Of a watch key
before applying the antidote. This pre-
vents the painful swelling that some
times occurs. As in other cases, zone
mans meat is another mans poison"
and the same remedy will not apply to
all individuals. Some find camphOr
most eficacious, and salt and water will
not avail. Ammonia. however, seems to
be generally successful as Il neutralizer
of the mosquito poison. Where there
are large quantities of mosquitoes and
no reason for their appearance Is appar-
ent, it Is we'll to lOOl; abOut the premises
for something which attracts them. An
uncovered barrel Of rainwater will
bring them IL hordeS, and damp places
and stagnant pools are spots where they
delight to Congregate.-Salem Gazette.

During il severe thunderstorm Mon
day the phenomenon of ball lightning
was seen in this village. An inspection
of the locality shows that the ball wa
located between a telephone wire and a
conductor pipe about three feet distant,
and was doubtless Of the nature of an
electric brush preceding the descriptive
discharge. II was Of a reddish color and
exploded with a report like "A musket,
but did no damage. nor was it attended
by any smell perceptible TO those who
saw it. although they were distant not
more than five feet.-Lyons On. " Cor.

For some time past it has been ru-
mored that the famous Althorp library,
which Dibdin called the finest private
collection in the world, was about to be
sold, and now the announcement is
made upon authority. 1t is hoped to
sell it en- bloc, but should that not be
possible it will be put up to auction.
Selling the most famous Of the worlds
private libraries III a lump can mean
only one thing-selling it TO America.
We trust that may not happen, since
Lord SpencaSs collection contains many
volumes which 1t Is a national pride 10
possess-such. for instance, as the IA
nous Naldarfar ''BOccaccio," which
Lord Blandford wrested from the sec
Ond Earl Spencer for e., 2G0, to be ulti-
mately bought for Althorp for the baga-
telle of 600. 1t will be an epoch max
ing sale. for this great library contains
some 10000 volumes, mostly priceless.
Scarce editions ON vellum and large
paper, magnificent printing and dazzling
bindings by PasdelOup and Roger Payne
these are its glories. Many of the
books. too. have famous histories. They
have felt the touch of the PompadOur
or of Diane de POitiers or the elegant
grasp of Francis |. There are eighty
two out of the ninety-nine known pro-
auctions Of CaxtOn, to say nothing of
the famous Mentz ''Psalter,' a copy of
which has fetched 5000. To sell the
