FRANCISCO Bulletin, of a letter from
Captain O. w. Peterson, of the
schooner Tampa, that the principal
island of one OF the most remarka ole
groups of the southern ocean is in ac-

massive, moltens streams, and the
whole ocean near the spot is convuised.

peak of the, island was in violent erup-

always been regarded with suspicion.
The United States steamer AlDatros,
now in port, made complete survey
of the group in it's recent voyage, and
collected much data that had been
overlooked by the government expedi-
ton sent out some ten years ago to
survey the rocks under command of

GEOGRAPHICAL SITUATION.

Socorro island is one of the group
known as the Revilia Gigelo islands
1t is OF remarkable .ormation, being
practically a mountain rising abruptly
oU,- OK the sea to a height of 3,707
feet. The group is 400 miles southeast
of Cape st. Lucas and about the same
distance from Manzanilla Mexico, one
OF ,lne towns that has been badly
shaken by recent earthquakes. The
sides of the mountain are clothed with
a growth of cacti SO thick that human
beings have never been able TO ascend
it, though frequent attempts have
been made to do so. A peculiar vine
covers the ground, which bears a pear
shaped fruit that was partaken of by
some of the Colnett's men and nearly
caused their death. Fish, turtles and
crabs abound.
The AlbatroSSs men were unable to
find any water on this strange island.
They made a survey of its coast, and
discovered cove at the south end of
the place with a beach covered with
sharp, broken stones, but a small
stretch of sand in its centre afforded
a landing spot. The bay is called
Braithwaite.
Cape Rule at the southern ex-
tremity of the island reported the
Albatross, is an odd formation rising
abruptly out of the sea TO q height
of 250 feet. Another bay, called Car
wallis, is situated on the southwest
side, and is full of pinnacle rocks.
IRREGULARITIES OF THE GROUP.
Clarion island is one of the queer
est features Of the group. 1t, too, is
covered with cacti, but there must be
fresh water somewhere in its interior,
for thousands of doves were found near
the beach of the anchorage.
"The shore line is remarkable. 1t
rises sheer of the water to heights
varying from so to 600 feet 1t is an
impregnable fortress that can be ap-
preached from but one small opening,
and were it, tenantable, fortified and
provisioned it might easily defy the
fleets of the world.
"a short distance from the shore of
this island is shaft Of varl-colored
stone called Monument rock which
towers 200 feet above the ocean. 1t is
natural curiosity, square at the base
and pyramidal in form at its top. I is
composed of alternate layers of red
and white rock, and can be seen miles
at sea.
There was not the slightest signs of
volcanic disturbances when the survey
ship was there, and to all appearances
there had not been for ages. In all
probability Socorro and its adjacent
freaks have been destroyed

Utilizing Waste Products.

For many years the Stag from blast
furnaces accumulated in unsightly
piles, and no one knew what to do with
IL. Modern methods and modern ma
chinery have, however, made it pos
slbie to work this hitherto useless and
cumbersome heap into a substance that
is of the highest value in many ways.
The Stag is melted in large pot, from
which it slowly trickles out through a
spout. The instant it. reaches the air
1t meets a high-pressure steam jet
which blows it into shreds and carries
1t into large storage bin, where it
falls mass Of light, soft matter, Which
is called mineral wool. The force CT
the jet that carries it into the storage
room grades it by gravitation. The
coarser and heavier parts drop near
the entrance to the room, and those that
are lighter proceed farther on, until
at the extreme end a dust-like cloud
is formed, which settles in puffy mass
like fine down. The product is then
gathered up and packed in suitabl
receptacles for market. 1t is after
ward made into articles of various sorts,
and is extensively used for packing.
AS material for deadening walls and
covering steam pipes and cold-storage
walls it is extremely valuable, being
one of the best non-conductors, and, of
course, strictly fireproof. A variety Of
sandstone and certain rocks are melted
and blown in the same way and for the
same purpose. This is unquestionably
one of the marvels of modern inven-
ton, and is as simple as the product
is useful. A thousand pounds of wool
per hour is the capacity of an ordinary
plant.

The Germ Theory.

What the world owes to Louis Pas
teur the worlds great vocabulary is
incompetent to express. Through his
researches, and those of the students
who have come after him, the light has
been turned upon what has hitherto
been total darkness. Doubt, expert
ments and uncertainty have given way
to precision and accuracy in diagnosis.
AS the farmer knows that the chinch
bug is the cause of his withered crops,
so the physician knows that the baciI-
lus of certain diseases brings about GER
tain symptoms. The microscope is the
physicians reliance. A few drops Of
blood, a bit OF tissue, a little perspira
ton brought under the eye of
this magic assistant will tell him
at once the cause and progress
OF the disease. And it is not
alone the physician who benefits by
this knowledge. The farmer. the vine
yardist, the dafryman, the stock-raiser,
the cultivator of the silk-worm and the
enthusiast on bees are alike indebted
to the discoverer of the germ-origin of
disease for invaluable aids in their
business. A necessity for the near fu-
ture is an improvement in microscopes
and their cheapening, so that knowl-
edge of germs may become more wide
spread. Every township should have
it's bacteriologist and its microscopic
equipment. There is no study more
interesting, and none that is so i'm
portant to humanity.

been made with safe composed Of steel

whether practical fire-proof vaults
could be constructed of thus material,
and the tests we're made to settle this
point. with the following result: A safe
was placed upon a pyre of bags and
drenched with kerosene. which, after
being set on fire, kept the safe for half
an hour exposed to heat OF l 800 de-
srees Fahrenheit-that is, a heat In
which iron will melt. Two hours after,
the safe was opened and the contents,
silk, paper. draft blanks. and maxi
mum thermometer were found to be
absolutely uninjured, and the maxi
mum Thermometer showed that within
the safe the temperature at no time
during the test rose above IS degrees

a New Eiy-Wheel.

The tendency of a fy-wheel to disin.
tegrate fnom centrifugal force is well
understood. This popularity has led
to the invention of a new f1y-wheel that
is said to be far superior to anything
previously used. To hub is attached
wound wire filing the space between
disks about twenty feet in diameter.
This wire is number five steel wire and
is securely fastened in place. The wheel
is driven at speed of about $40 revc-
lutions per minute, giving peripheral
velocity of 2 $40 miles per minute.
This is equal to about $50 feet per Sec
ond. 1t requires about $50 miles OF
wire to fill the disks of wheel of this
size. Among the experiments under
consideration are paper wheels. The
tensile strength of paper is greater than
that of many metals, and paper rims
on wheels are looked upon with favor.

The first thing to do is to practice
standing one glass upon another in
such a way that the axis of the upper
one shall be prolongation of the side
Of its support. Care should be taken
that glasses as nearly alike as possible
be used, and that the table on which
they are placed be perfectly level, for
