LOUDeST NOISE EVER HEARD.
1t Was Caused by Volcano and Was
Heard Thousands of Miles Away.

1t Was Caused by Volcano and Was
Heard Thousands of Miles Away.
No thunder from the skies was ever &C.
companied by roar of such vehemence as
that which issued from the throat of the
great volcano in Krakaton, an islet lying
in the straits of Sunda, between Sumatra
and Java, at 10 o'clock on Monday morn
ing, Aug. 27, 1888. AS that dreadful
Sunday night wore on the noises increased
In intensity and frequency. The explo-
sions succeeded each other so rapidly that
a continuous roar seemed to issue from the
island
The critical moment was now approach
ing, and the outbreak was preparing for
majestic elimination. The people of Ba-
tavia did not sleep that night Their win
dows quivercd with the thunders from
Krakatoa, which resounded like the dis
charge of artillery in their streets. Final
ly at 10 o'clock on Monday morning
stupendous convulsion took place. which
far transcended 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 "a miles distant from Kraka-
toa. AT Carimon, lava, $50 miles away,
reports were heard on that Sunday morn
ing which led to the belief that there must
be some vessel in the distance which was
discharging its guns as signals of distress.
The authorities sent out boats to make a
search. They presently returned, as no
ship could be found in want of succor
The reports were sounds which had come
all the way from Krakatoa. At Macassar,
in Celebes, loud explosions attracted the
notice of everybody. Two steamers were
hastily sent out to find what was the mat
ter.
The sounds had travelled from the straits
of Sunda, distance of 969 miles. But
p,ere hundreds of miles will not suffice to
illustrate the extraordinary distance to
which the greatest noise that ever was
heard was able to penetrate. The figures
have to be expressed in thousands. This
seems almost incredible, but it is certainly
true. In the Victoria plains, in West Aus
tralia, the shepherds were startled by
noises like heavy cannonading. 1t was
some time before they learned that their
tranquility had been disturbed by tho
grand events then proceeding at Krakatoa,
1,700 miles away.-Youth's Companion.

all Republicans, and at least four

Luxury.

1t is strange that the authors who have
written SO much about luxury, whether
they praise it satirically, or condemn it
very seriously, or merely inquire into its
history and traditions should never have
been struck with the amount of discom
fort it entails. In modern, as well as in
ancient times, the same Jealous pursuit of
prodigality results in the same heavy bur-
den of undesirable possessions. The youth
full daughter of Marie Antoinette was al
lowed, we are told, four pairs of shoes II
week, and M. Taine, inveighing bitterly
against the extravagances of the French
court, has no word of sympathy to spare
fer the unfortunate little princess, con-
demned by this ruthless edict always to
wear new shoes. Louis XVI had 30 doc
tors of his own, but surely no one will be
found to envy him this royal supertluity.

A HOUSE BURNED
Fire this morning at about 1:45
o'clock destroyed the empty dwelling
which up to short time ago was occu-
pied by the family of A. w. Hall, the
man who was knocked off his boat off
the coast of Lower California some
two or three months ago and who was
reported drowned. The house, which
stood near the corner Of South Ma
rengo avenue and Maine street, was
built BIZ Hall, but he did not own the
land. 1t is believed that the building
was not insured. There was small
mechanics lien upon it, which circum-
stance recalls the fact that Hall was
drowned(?) with $75 in his clothes. In

ones are being cared for by neighbors,
and Hall may return at any time.

PASADENA, Jan. 31.-The matter of
regulations for the benefit of the pub
lie health still occupies public atten-
ton to a considerable extent. Much
laxity is shown on the part of physi-
clans in failing to report promptly
cases of infectious diseases. Not less
than three such cases have been shown
and the fact admitted by the physician
in charge. The law was made for the
public good and should be enforced.
It provides penalty of 500 for each
failure to report case of contagious
disease within twenty-four hours.
In regard to the condition of the
dairies, yesterday q committee from
the Humane society visited ten of
these establishments, both large and
small. in the eastern and northern
parts of the city and found but three
in good condition. These must be put
in good condition at once or the
owners will be prosecuted, SO the com.
mittee says. The chief fault With them
is that little or no shelter is afforded
for the COWS, and thus the yards be-
come foul and filthy in wet weather,
