, A floating barrier Of pumice stone Is
miles long, over 1000 yards wide and
10 feet deep, closing seaport to all
vessels as effectually as boom could
do. is not the sort Of thing one is likely
to forget and yet that was one Of the
results of the Krakotoa eruption, the
port being Telok Retoung, in Sunda
straits, says Leisure Hours. Formed
in few hours, 1t would almost seem
to be the supreme effort of nature in
the pumice-making limo 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 in 1t that make 1t light and
as 1t floats it becomes water logged
and down 1t goes. Most Of the pumice
we use in Europe comes from the
Lipari islands, north Of Sicily, the
home Of Vulcan" whence Vulcano is
the name Of one Of them and cur
volcano" is descriptive Of the natural
feature Of which It is the type. Here
are the pumice quarries-at Monte
lChirica and its craters Monte Pelata
and Forgla Vecchia-where over 1000
men are. at work in the narrow tun-
nels and galleries, lighted by clay
lamps Of antique form. The whole
hillside is perforated with groups Of
these tunnels, which number between
200 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 lavas and ashes.

cATIN THE PULPIT.

Pastor Caught 1t by the Neck and the
Usher Took 1t Away.
An inquisitive black cat strayed into
the Bristol Methodist Episcopal church
on recent Sunday evening just before
the services began, says the Pittsburg
Chronicle-Telegraph.
There were very few people in the
church at the time, but the loud and
plaintive mewing Of the stranger at
tracted their attention and they watch
ed its movements with interest.
The animal climbed up into the choir
loft, perched upon the railing and look
ed down upon the congregation. After
a time several members of the choir
arrived and the cat scampered away,
finally climbing down one Of the wood
en- pillars which supported the choir
loft and walked down into the aisle.
Several Of the congregation endeaV-
ored to coax the cat into their pews,
but the proud pussy ignored them and
with stately dignity climbed up into
the pulpit and sat on the bible. When
the pastor came in moment later he
found the cat in possession Of the pull
pit, but the animal took kindly to the
preacher and began to purr and arch
his back at the latter's approach.
The pastor took the cat by the back
of the neck and handed 1t down to an
usher, who carried puss out Of the
church. This is good omen, breth-
ren," said the pastor and then he went
on and preached his sermon.
