at a height of 610 meters. has sunk dam

Seven new craters have formed around

ItKas announced on Thursday from Ma
plesNthat what promised to be an erup-
tion of Vesuvius resembling that of 1872
had begun. Three streams of lava were
reported to be flowing down the mountain,
destroying the chestnut woods at the foot
of Monte Somma-whieh is the northeast
side of the mountain-and threatening the
observatory, which is now reported to
have sunk with the ground.
This observatory was situated on an

DR.. Whewell, master of Trinity COL
lege. Cambridge. was great but un-
popular man. When he entered the sen-
ate house, it was the i'll hammered prac.
tice OF the undergraduates to begin q
loud and continuous whistle.
How this originated do not know, :"
writes Dean Farrar in his book Men
Have Known. There were two leg.
ends about it. One was that it intimat-
ed that the master would have to wbis-
tie for bishopric; the other-equally
absurd-was that when some one had
asked him how to pronounce his name
he had said, You must shape your
mouth az If you were going to whistle 2"
But under the rough manners of the
students there was genuine goodness Of
heart. DR.. Whewell's wife died. lie
had been tenderly devoted to her, aud
when he attended chapel after her death
the undergraduates were touched by an
"old man s anguish aud strong man s
tears -
When next he entered the senate
house, writes Dean Farrar, there was
dead silence For the first time for
know not how many years not whis-
tie was heard, and then moment after
ward as by spontaneous impulse the
whole crowded mass of undergraduates
in the gallery burst into loud and
long continued cheer. 1t was not aston
ishing that such proof of sympathy
should move the heart of the great mas
ter or that the tears should run down
his cheeks. / do not think that be was
ever whistled at again."

plants wilt and die when quite young,
and the disease seems 10 be confined TO

early varieties. Field corn and popcorn
appear to be entirely exempt. The plant
doctors have not been able to lind any
remedy for the disease except great care
in selection and the use of varieties

FRESH VEGETABLES,
Delioacies Raised In Hothouses on Long
Island and Near Boston.

Is1Aud ana NEAR BDstOn.
The hothouses from which New York
draws much Of its supply are near Bos-
ton and on Long Island. One of the
largest establishments near Boston sends
the best tomatoes to New York between
November and March. They are grown
In propagating houses, where all the
young plants are put out in the spring.
Raising tomatoes under glass is scien-
tific process, for the tomato blossoms are
fertilized by insects in the natural state,
and under these changed conditions the
fertilization must be accomplished by
hand The temperature is kept con
stantly at about 20 degrees T. where
the early varieties which bear outdoors
i'll July are grown. In describing the
various departments Of this model hot
house writer in the New York Trib-
une says
In a long series of outdoor frames are
grown the plants which always keep
the table supplied with parsley, lettuce,
radishes and daDdelious These are
planted at intervals, so that a. soon as
one frame of lettuce is approaching the
seeding stage another is Just coming
into crisp freshness. By properly ar
ranging the sequence of planting these
vegetables may be had at any time Of
the year. Cucunbers are also forced in
the greenhouses, the seeds being planted
in February III the house. Later they
are put in rich compost in the frames
and kept from freezing, and one can al
most see the plants grow, so rapidly do
they come into bearing.
Mushrooms belong to the table deli
cacies which must be brought fresh to
the kitchen in order to be really good,
and for that reason the dollhouse article
is IN demand. Some OF those which
come to the New York market are rails
ed in caves on Long Island, but larger
quantities come from the vicinity Of
Boston, The best spawn is imported
from England and one grower said
that when the mushroom bed is first
prepared the temperature must be kept
at | 10 degrees for short time and is
then allowed to 60 down. When it
reaches so degrees. the spawn is put in.
An inch of soil is put over the beds, and
in five weeks, if things go right, the
large and juicy mushrooms appear over
the surface.
Attractive features in the vegetable
establishments are the pyramids Of tiny
baskets containing brussels sprouts.
They belong to the hardy vegetables,
like the several varieties of cabbage, and
are kept buried until ready for market,
when they are packed in crates like
berries and transported.
During the months when the farmer
sees only root vegetables the city tables
are supplied with lettuce, spinach,
cauliflowers and all the garden products
which recall the warmer days.
