A PuInioe Stone Barrier.

A floating barrier of pumice stone 10
miles long, over 900 yards VIDE and
ID feet deep, closing a seaport to all
vessels as eiTectually as a boom could
do, is not the sort of thing one is likely
to forget and yet that was one of the
results of the krakatoa eruption, the
port being Telok Retcung, i'll Sunda
straits. Formed in Il few hours, it would
almost seem 10 be the supreme effort of
nature in the pumice making line were
it not that such immense quantities are
found at the bottom of the sea-a queer
place for pumice stone. But pumice,
when produced, is really heavy. 1t is
only the air cavities III it that make it
light, and as it floats it becomes water
logged and down it GOES. Most of the
pumice we use III Europe comes from
the Lipari islands, north Of Sicily, the
home of Vulcan, y whence Yulcano az
the name of one of them, and our "vol-
canOn as descriptive of the natural fea-
ture of which 1t is the type. Here are
the pumice quarries-at Monte Chirica
and its craters Monte Pelata and Forgia
Vecchia-Where over / 900 men are at
work i'll the narrow tunnels and CALLER
les, lighted by clay lamps of antique
form. The whole hillside is perforated
with groups of these tunnels, which
number between goo and 300 and are so
narrow that the men can hardly pass
each other in them. And just as coal is
found in beds alternated with sandstone
and shale, So the pumice is in layers be-
tween harder layas and ashes. Leisure
