FASCINATING FIRE ENGINE.

"There is something fascinating al

they took off the suction, pat il back in

ard then stood there just waiting to be
ordered home; driver up and every thing
all ready.
But the people looking on didn't go.
From the time the engine had halted

MANNERS OUTSIDE THE NAVY.
An Instance Snoring That Old Sea
Dogs Have little Respect for
Lana Luhhcrs' ways.


The ordinary seaman's respect for
rank and station when not connected
with his beloved vessel is decidedly
meager, says writer in an article en-
titled ION Z Man-of-War." When the
president CT the United States visits one
Of our men-of-war he is received at the
gangway by the admiral, commanding
officer, and all Of the officers of the ship
in full uniform, The crew at quarters
for inspection, the marine guard drawn
up with the band on the quarter deck,
the national flag is displayed at the
main, the drummer gives four DUTIES,
the band plays the national air and a
salute Of 21 guns is fired. The same
ceremony also takes place on his leay-
ing.
On one occasion the president visited
one of the ships informally, dispensing
with the salute and ceremony, when
one of the men rather Indignantly
asked another who that lubber was on
the quarterback that didn't "douse his
peak to the commodore.
Choke your luff, viii you," was the
reply; that's the president of the
United States"
We'll! Amt he got manners enough
TO salute the quarterdecl, If he is?"
Manners! What does he know about
manners? don't suppose he was ever

QUEER LIGHT ON VEsUVIUS.
An ItaIian Professor Observes q Mys-
tcrious Jet of I1can-
descent Gas.

A portion of the southern wall of the
crater of Vesuvius fell in the other day.
The falling debris blocked up the vents
from which issued the gaseous vapcrs,
and the previous strong explosions al
most ceased, Then the Hext night Prof.
Il, Y. Mattenci saw sight which lie be-
Iieved no one had ever seen before.
The mass of debris,' he says, ''occu-
pying the bottom Of the crater was rem
dered, here more, than less, incandes-
cent by the heat from the lava beneath.
Here and there numerous little flames
about six feet high, varying III colcr
from blue to green, escaped from amid
the rocks. In tie centerehe bottom Of
the crater was more active. From IN
aperture in the completely red-hot
debris 4 colossal column of fame forced
its way with enormous violence and
roar like that of breakers On d rocky
shore. This gigantic tongue Of flame
rose to q height CT some eco feet, ard
was OF general yellow tint, with &C.
casional flashes of red and violet color,
and sometimes intense blue. The beau
tifully tiHtcd Jet Of flame has to ny
knowledge never been observed before
in q volcano; it was apparently owing
10 the linciing Of the large quantity CT
combustible gases which had been i'm
prisoned by the falling in CT the crater.
People have often thought they saw
flames issuing from the summit OF We
suvius, but the light was always owing
to the reflection from the lava below
ia the globes Of smoke rising above the
crater. The actual jet in ircandescent
gas observed by ne Is, I believe, the
only one observed on Vesuyius. Lon

! During the 90 years comprised be-
tween 1867 and 1856 I find that the av-
erage birth rate in Russia amounted 0
49.3 per thousand Inhabitants, while
the mean death rate for the same period
was no less than 35.S per thousand.
The average number Of marriages was
81. The mean increase, therefore, av-
eraged 1915 per thousand, the absolute
yearly increase being 1,500,000. In spite
of the very high death rate, this balance
! to the coed, if compared with that OF
other European countries for the same
period, is very considerable. In this
respect Saxony is the only state which
takes precedence Of Russia with an an
nual increment Of 14.9 per thousand.
England follows Russia with 1872. Uol-
land comes next with 1912, then Prussia
with 9.4, Germany with 81, Austria with
rs, Sweden with III, italy with G.7,
Switzerland with G.2. Hungary, despite
its fruitful Slav element, with only At;
Spain with 3.3 and France with 2.5.
The Russian death rate, il must be con
fessed, is Proportionately large, owing
to variety of causes, the aczt of which
can be neutralized by improved sanis
tation, and are being slowly removed
even now There is but one country in
Europe which takes precedence Of Rus

II is EASY TO TELL.

People who fail to look after their health
are like the carpenter who neglects to sharpen
his tools People are not apt to get anxious
about their health soon enough. If you are
mot quite well" or ''half sick'' have you
ever thought that your kidneys may be the
cause Of your sickness
1t is easy to tell by setting aside your urine
for twenty-four hours ; a sediment or settling
indicates an unhealthy condition Of the
kidneys. When urine stains linen it is
evidence Of kidney trouble. Too frequent
desire to urinate, scanty supply, pain or dull
ache in the back is also convincing proof
that the kidneys and bladder are ont of order
There is satisfaction in knowing that the
great remedy DIR. Kilmcr's wamp-Root, full
fills every wish in relieving weak or diseased
kidneys and all forms of bladder and urinary
