The Loudest Noise Ever Heard.
From The washington Sur.

No thunder from the skies was ever ae
companied with roar of such vehemcnec
as that which issued from the throat of the
great volcano in Krakatoa, an islet living
in the Straits of Sunda, between Sumatra
and Java, at 10 o'clock on Monday morn
ing, August 9th, 1888, says writer in
the Youths Companion. As that dread
full Sunday night wore on the noise in
creased in intensity and frequency. The
explosions succeeded each other so rapidly
that continuous roar seemed to issue from
the island. The critical moment was now
approaching, and the outbreak was prepar-
ing for a majestic elimination. The peo-
pie OF Batavia did not sleep that night.
Their windows quivered with the thunders
from krakatoa, which resounded like the
discharge of artillery in their streets. FL
nally at 10 o'clock on Monday morning
a stupendous CONFUSION took place. which
far transcribed any of the shocks which
had preceded it, This supreme effort it
was which raised the mightiest noise ever
heard on this globe Batavia is 95 miles
distant from Krakatoa At Carimon. Java,
800 miles away, reports were heard on that
Sunday morning which led to the belief
that there must be some vessel in the dis
lance which was discharging its guns as
signals Of distress. The authorities sent
out boats to make search; they presently
returned, as nothing could be found in
want of succor. The reports were sounds
which had come all the way from Kraka-
toa. At Macassar, in Ceebes, loud ex-
plosons attracted the notice of everybody.
Two steamers were hastily sent out to find
what was the matter The sounds had
travelled from the Straits of Sunda, dis
lance of 500 miles. But mere hundreds
Of miles will not suffice to illustrate the
extraordinary distance to which the great
est noise that ever was heard was able to
penetrate. The figures have to be ex-
pressed in thousands This seems almost
incredible, but it is certainly true. In the
Victoria plains, in West Australia, the
shepherds were startled by noises like
heavy cannonading. 1t was some time
afterward before they learned that their
tranquility had been disturbed by the grand
events then proceeding at Krakatoa. 1900
miles away.

Old instruments of Torture.
From y. Y. Times.

From y. Y. Times.
There opened to the public last week, an
exceedingly interesting exhibition of genu-
inc instruments of torture used some few
centuries ago, before more humane meth
DDS superseded the rack and thumb screw
and other horrible implements with which
the church and crown were wont to argue
and demonstrate with Christians and enc
mics. The collection was taken from the
royal castle of Nuremberg and is loaned
for exhibition by the Earl of Shrewsbury
and Talbot. The collection is gruesome, but
fascinating, and it powerfully illustrates
the great progress which has been made in
humanity and justice 1t is well worth
inspection
The most valuable instrument of torture
in the collection is the "iron maiden 1t
is huge humane figure of wood, hollow.
1t opens with two doors. The entire in
terror is fitted with sharp iron spikes, each
several inches long. When the condemned
person was placed inside and the doors
closed the victim was impaled on scores of
propgs. Two spikes entered his eyes and
others penetrated every part of the body
1t is relic of the fifteenth century.
Besides this there are racks, wheels
which crushed every bone in the body,
pinchers for pulling out tongues, great
metal boots, into which Christian martyrs
were compelled to place their feet after the
boots had been filed with melted lead
executioners swords, axes, masks, scourges,
faggellants, manacles branding irons, iron
collars, with the inner bands lined with
spikes old blunderbasses, iron mail gloves,
which were heated redhot before being worn;
iron spiders, with long, sharp claws, which
were used to rend the flesh stretching
gallows, execution ehairs-in all, more than
600 of the most cruel and barbarous in
struments ever invented for causing intense
agony.
There is also collection of several hun
dred old prints, showing the application Of
the various tortnres, famous executions,
massacres and butcheries in the time when
the implements were used

Peter cooper's Illustration of Usury

New York Evening Post.
Mr.. Cooper was always careful and
prudent business men. He was always
opposed to the methods ofmany merchants,
who launched out in extravagant enter
prises on borrowed money, for which they
paid exorbitant rates Of interest. Once,
while talking about a project with an ac-
qaintance, the latter said he would have to
borrow the money for six months, paying
interest at the rate of three per cent.
"Why do you borrow for to short a time?
Mr.. Cooper asked. Because the brokers
will not negotiate bills for longer We'll,
if you wish, said Mr. Cooper, q will
discount your note at that rate for three
years. Are you in earnest?" asked the
would-be borrower Certainly | am. |
will discount your note for $1,000 for
three years at that rate. VIII you do it,
"Of course l will" said the merchant.
"Very well, said Mr.. Cooper, ',just sign
the note for $4,000, payable in three
years, and give me your check for $500,
and the transaction is complete But
where is the money for me2" asked the
astonished merchant. -.You don't get any
money, was the reply. Your interest
a6 months, at 3 per eentum per month,
amounts to los per eentum, or slO,s0O;
therefore, your check for $500 just usakes
us even. The force Of this practicalillus-
tration of the folly Of paying such an ex-
orbitant price for the use Of money was
such that the merchant determined never
70 borrow at such Tninous rates, and he
frequently used 10 say that nothing could
have 50 fully convinced him as this rather
humorous proposal by Mr. Cooper.

What Will the New Year Bring

What Will the New Year Bring
"Oh what will the New Year bring me 90
Sang bright-eyed little boy,
AS he paused mid his childish playthiDgs-
The source ofmany a joy.
Say quickly, mamma dear;
VIII it bring me toys and candles.
As il brings me every year,
The mother glanced at her darling,
And breathed silent prayer
That the New Years gift for her darling
Might be unmixed with care.
''oh, what will the New Year bring NEE"
Said timid, happy bride
And she glanced with look of pleasure
At the husband at her side.
"Oh what will the New Year bring me,
As it speedeth on its way?
win it bring fresh joys and roses
For each succeeding day?''
But the mothers look was fearful,
AS she glanced at her daughter fair,
For she knew, in the outward pathway,
Was hidden many snare.
''oh, what will the New Year bring me ?"
Said feeble weak old man;
ave tasted all earths pleasures.
And life is but span.
Oh, what will the New Year bring me,
Now am growing old,
And few are the charms that bind me, r
For my days are almost told?''
All what the New Year bringeth
Thy eyes may never sec;
For narrow mound ON the hillside
Is the only gift to thee.

Algiers Has a Stream of Natural
Ink.

In Algiers there is small stream which
the chemistry of nature has converted
into real ink. 1t is formed by the union
of two riyulets, one of which is very
strongly impreguated with iron, while the
other, meandering through peat marsh,
imbibes gallic acid, another ingredient in
the formation of ink Letters and manu-
script matter are satisfactorily written
with this singular natural compound of
iron and gallic acid.

How to stop Shoes from squeaking.

When your shoes squeak, go to shoe
maker and have him put peg in the
middle of the sole, and there will be no
more loud proclamations. Another thing,
when you buy pair of new shoes aud
they hurt you, put water in them and let
it remain for minute, then pour it out,
and if your shoes burn or hurt you after

Yesterday afternoon tho Belmont
county grand jury, in session ut st.
Clairsvillc, made its reportto the court,
and the jurors we're then discharged.
Those indicted are either in custody or
under recognizance. Shannon Taggart,
the embezzler, whose capture and re-
turn to Belmont county by Wheeling
police officers was exclusively chroni-
cled in the INrELLEdENcER at the time,
was indicted for forgery and
also for falsely utterins. The
results surprising to some Of Taggart's
friends, as they hoped he would escape
indictment at the hands OF the grand
jury, as all Of tho forged notes except
two have been paid recently by power
tul friends. William Wilson, the at
tache OF travelling circus, the slayer OF
Officer Murphy, OF the Martins Ferry
palice force, Is indicted for murder in
tho second degree. OF the transcripts
sent up by justices and mayors, fifteen
were returned, not true bills
Following are the indictments re-
turned by the grand jury:
John Williams, burglary and larceny.
Clyde Ellis, pocket picking.
James Gillespie, prize lighting.
Frank Bridgman, assault and battery.
Frank Smith, burglary and larceny.
Seymour Dunlap and Jack GalIaher,
assault and battery.
Henry Gardner, burglary and larceny.
Wilson S. Taggart, two bills, forgery
and falsely utteripg.
Herman Tibert, burglary and larceny.
Edward S. Keaton, horse stealing.
Joseph StiDkola, burglary.
Herman Tibert aud William Jones,
burglary.
Charles Kaubante, cutting to wound.
Annie Bereinwlnkle, shooting to
wound.
William Wilson, murder in the second
degree.
The scheme of Taggarts friends to
pay off all the forged notea and thus
leave the prosecution with no evidence
to otter nearly went through all right
Prosecuting Attorney Hollingsworth
heard how things were going in time,
however, and secured service on the
First National Bank, OF st. Ciairsviiie,
and the Dollar Bank, OF Bridgeport,
who held the two discriminating notes
on which he intended to base the prose-
cution, and secured possession OF them.
Had this not been done Taggart would
nrobably have gone free.
