Transient Islands of the Pacific.

The western Pacific is great place
for islands that emerge from waves
unexpectedly and as suddenly disap-
pear. Sometimes they como up and
stay, but more often they have an ex-
lstepce merely temporary. The won
lering skipper misses a familiar land
mark, by which he has been accus-
toned to ct his bearings, and perhaps
the next day he runs his vessels nose
hpon a brand new piece of territory
that has sprung up out of the water
since he last came that way. The re-
gion south of Japan is SO given to this
sort of eccentricity that ships avoid it.
Volcanic action is responsible for such
phenomena. Reports of them will be
noted on the pilot chart in every case,
though they are not always reiia BILE,
because backs of sleeping whales and
schools of fishes running along the sur
face are frequently mistaken for isl
Rnds and shoals.--San Francisco Ex-

New Theory as to the Earth's Crust.

A theory has been put forth by NJ.
Rateau in the French academy of sci
cnces that the crust of the earth be-
meath the continents does not touch the
fluid globe, but is separated from it by
a space filed with gaseous matter un-
der pressure. The continent, therefore,
constitute a sort of blister, much fat
tened, inflated and sustained by gases.
while the bottom of the oceans is sup
posed to rest directly on the fiery
mass. BY this hypothesis the author
believes that many phenomena of the
terrestrial crust may be explained
which are not clearly accounted for

A COUNTRY WITHOUT SILVER.
In Italy Private Firms Issue Tokens e
Supply the Demand.

In Italy Private Firms Issue Tokens e
Supply the Demand.
It is strange story which comes
from Italy by way of the London
Globe So great is the scarcity Of
money that private firm at Milan,
Messers Gavazzi & Co., has taken to
coming On it's own account, and as the
credit of the house is unimpeachable
The metal tokens-for Of course that is
what they really are-are freely &C
.epted by the shopkeepers.
Italy presents a remarkable excep-
ton to most other nations in the mat
ter of currency. While they are COM
planning everywhere else of the super
abundance OF silver, the precious metal
is actually at a premium in King Hum
bert's dominions.
Change for a five-franc piece can only
be obtained on payment of q penny on
the transaction.
The reversion to tokens carries US
back almost to the middle ages. There
was period in the history Of England
when such promises to pay con-
stituted almost the only circulating
medium. They were made of lead,
tin, and even leather, and passed as
readily from hand to hand as coins
stamped with the royal image and
superscription.
It is stated that in the middle of the
seventeenth century as many as
twenty thousand different kinds of
tokens were in circulation in England.
Messrs. Gavazzi's coinage will pass
freely where the issuers are known
and trusted. but will not be looked at
twenty miles from the Lombard capi-
tai.
The extraordinary action of the
Milan firm has been taken, perhaps,
not only in the interest Of it's clients
convenience, but as means of putting
pressure upon the government. Right
ly or wrongly, it is contended that
something might be done by the au-
thorities to relieve a scarcity which
amounts almost to general calamity.

CUT THIS OUT,
Plows Draw n by Camels.


Oxen drawing plows is signt "a.
miliar enough on our Sussex downs;
but camels employed in this way
would be decidedly a novelty. The ex-
pertinent, however, is being tried in
southern Russia, and, it is said, with
remarkable success. Vice-Consul Smith
states that the bad harvests of the last
two years, together with the low
prices of grain, having forced most
agriculturists to look into the question
of reducing expenses, and one great
difficulty being to obtain animal
power which would cost less for feed
ing than horses and yet be able to do
the varying work of a farm. camels
have been introduced upon an estate
not far from Kieff. At present eigl-
teen camels are at work, and their
keep is found to cost much less than
that of horses, owing to oats being
dispensed with in their feeding. The
price runs between six and seven
pounds per head, inclusive of transport
from the government Of Orenburg to
Kied.-London News.

INDIAN SONGS.
They Are Sung without Regard to Any
Rule of Harmony.

They Are Sung Without Regard to Any
Rule Of Harmony.
In every tribe there are hundreds OF
original songs which are its heritage.
Many of them have been handed down
through generations, and embody not
only tho feeling Of the composer, but
record some past event or experience;
they are treasured by the people, and
care is taken to transmit them &C.
curately. People who possess written
music have some mechanical device by
which tone may be uniformly pro.
duced, as by the vibrations of a chord
of given length and tension, the tone
becoming the standard by which all
others can be regulated, and a sue
cession of tones can be recorded and
accurately repeated at long intervals
of time, and by different persons The
Indians have no mechanism for de-.
termining a pitch; there is no uniform
key for song; it can be started on any
note suitable to the singers voice
This absence of standard pitch, and
the Indians management of the voice,
which is similar in singing and in
speaking. make Indian music seem to
be out of tune to our ears, conven-
tionally trained as they are to distin.
guish between the singing and the
speaking tone of voice. Although the
Indians have no fixed pitch, yet, given
starting note, graduated intervals
are observed Not that any Indian
can sing scale, but he repeats his
songs without any material variation.
Men with good voices take pride in ac-
curacy Of singing, and often have in
their memories several hundred songs,
including many from tribes with the
members of which they have exchanged
visits.
The barytone voice among men, End
the meZzo-soprano among women, are
more common than the pure tenor,
bass, contralto or soprano. As 2 rule,
the Indian voice is reedy and steady in
tone, and sometimes quite melodious in
quality; but the habit of singing in the
open air to the accompaniment of per-
cussion instruments tends to strain the
voice and to injure its sweetness.
There is little attempt at expression
W PAoho VI All SO t>e1Soo6SSs Va ~ S"CAA-
ing the tone on given note; but as
the songs generally descend on the
scale, there is a natural tendency to
less volume at the close than at the
beginning or middle part of the tune.
When several take part in the sing
ing, it is always in unison. The diff
ferent qualities of male and female
voices bring out harmonic effects,
which are enhanced by the women's
custom of singing in a high, reedy
falsetto, an octave above the male
voices. The choral generally presents
two or three cctaves, and one becomes
conscious of overtones Evidently the
Indian enjoys this latent harmony, as
they have devices to iatensify it. They
employ a kind of throbbing of the
voice on prolonged note, producing
an effect similar to that obtai ned in
vibrating string of the cello by pass
ing over it the bow in an undulating
movement. In solos like the love-song,
where there are sustained passages,
the singer waves his hand slowly to
and from his mouth to break the flow
of the breath and to produce vibrations
which seem to satisfy his ear.-Alice c.
Fletcher, in Century.
