to navigation and have assumed such

method has been adopted. But, accord

river steamboat man, q remedy has been
found and the hyacinths are fast being
exterminated. The remedy seems to be

thousands crawling over the weed, and

in the group of the Tonga, or Friendly
islands. In 1877 smoke was seen over
the shoal. In 1885 the shosl had be-
come volcanic island, moro than two
miles long and 240 feet high, and a
fierce eruption was taking place within
it. In 1885 the island had begun to
shrink in dimensions, although the next
year it's highest point was $50 feet
above sea level. In 1880 its height had
diminished one-half, and the ocean
close around it was more than a mile
deep. In 1892 the island rose only 81
feet above sea level. According to the

Insuring Chicago Does.

A novel insurance company has been
organized and is already doing large
business in Chicago insuring dogs
against loss, stealing or impounding.
This is done by registering the dog with
this company, with its full description,
and receiving tag to be worn with the
city license tag.
The company has q man at each
pound TO release any dog bearing such q
tag and return IL Immediately to the
owner. This IN q great advantage, M
dogs often contract diseases in such Q
place. II also saves both dog and owner
much misery.
