cRUsoE'S ISLAND DISAPPEARS.
Reported sinking of Juan Rernandca
Land bY Volcanic Action.


A few weeks ago u vessel putting in
at Lisbon after a trip around Cape
Horn, reported the destruction by vol
canic action of the Juan Fernandez
island, famous as the scene of Robin
son Crusoe." The master claimed to
have seen the catastrophe from the
deck of his vessel. The report was not
given credence at the time by scientific
men, and many denials were printed in
papers and magazines. But Capt.
Powclls, of the British ship James Kerr,
aeserts that the story is generally be-
lieved by seafaring men all over the
world. The James Kerr has recently
arrived from Newcastle, n. S. w. where
she was laid up four months on account
Of the coal mine strike. Capt. Powclls
met very large number of master
mariners there, and says that the de-
struction of the island was a matter of
common gossip among them. The
captain himself has not passed within
sight Of the island since 1889, when he
secured a photograph of it from the
deck of his ship. He says that some of
the captains who arrived in Newcastle
while he was there verified the report
thta the island was missing.

WHITE HOUSE ETIQUETTE.
Rules That Are Strictly Observed by ths
President's Family.

Rules That Are Strictly Observed by tho
Presidents Family.
When the president and his wife drive
out, the president sits on the right
hand seat and his wife on the left, says
the Illustrated American.
II there are others in the carriage,
whether ladies or gentlemen, they must
sit with their backs to the horses.
When Mrs. Cleveland was first married
she tried the experiment of placing her
mother opposite the president and her
self in the presidential landau, but the
people laughed at it so immoderately
and professed to think Mrs. Folsom Gas
she was them to be the maid, that it was
speedily dropped. When the presi-
dents wife drives alone, she sits in the
right-hand corner-the place of honor.
The lady of the white house cannot
set foot within those splendid houses
in Washington whose flagstafis mark
the foreign embassy or legation. She
could not go.without the president, and
as an embassy or legation is technically
part of the country it represents. the
president could not go = so that she
never sees the inside of u diplomatic
house as long as she presides at the
executive mansion. The president
dimes only at cabinet houses. and his
wife cannot dine anywhere without
him. President Arthur dined with
judges of the supreme court and with
senators-but as he had no wife the
whole system was very much simplified
for him. The presidents wife may, if
she chooses, go to luncheons where
there are no gentlemen, or to teas, both
being regarded as strictly informal; :;
but the danger Of giving otfense by ac'
cepting one invitation and declining an
other is so great that it is seldom, or
never risked.

A Notwithstanding Fodder

Californiaus are experimenting with
q new fodder plant known as the
''SaRhalien Knotweed" (Polygonum

wonderfully resistant to the effects of

gonum grows with astonishing vigor.
It's roots accommodate themselves to all
soils, even such a. are hard and stony.
Besides 1t is used successfully to con-
solidate the banks of rivers, the slopes
of railway embankments, and like
places. It Is very picturesque plant for
ornamental planting. the stems being

European winter the stems lie down,
but the root-stock is perennial under the
surface. It requires no protection, and
in the following spring new shoots arise
more numerous than the previous year
on account Of the plants facility Of bud
production.
In turning this plant to account as q
successful fodder. the stems are cut in
spring level with the soil as soon as they
have reached height Of three feet or
more. The entire cutting is passed over
to the farm stock, which are all very
fond Of 1t, whether fresh or made into hay

Of about twenty-five tons per acre. A
plantation Is made by picking out Young
plants obtained from seed, or sections
of the rhizome, at q distance Of q yard
apart. A combination Of the two is
most suitable. This is best done In
spring or late autumn. The next season
the stems and leaves spread over the en-
tire surface Of tho soil. It Is not
necessary to give any manure or culture

may b added that the young leaves
