sun-rays on the wooden hulls by
means of piece of glass. Ericsson,
the man who invented the Monitor,
made small engine that was set in
motion by sunbeams. William Calver
OF Washington has just invented an
apparatus that is said to produce TO-
600 degrees of heat by means of focused
sunshine. The greatest heat ever pro-
duced heretofore was 5000 degrees,
which was obtained with an electric
arc. A number of mirrors are ar
ranged in the new machine so that
the rays falling on each one are all
focused at single point. Thick glass
and tough Russian iron are said to
melt like wax under the focused rays.
The apparatus will, it is said, bore
dozen holes in soaking wet plank
IN as many seconds. 1t might, per-
haps, be used to advantage in smelt-
ing ores. Its use in connection with
the steam engine would be in produc-
Ing steam without the use of coal.

To Stimulate Faithful

The Presbyterian church has under
taken to raise funds on an increased
scale for the beginning of the new
century, and in other ways seeks to
stimulate the growth and effectiveness
of the church. Rev. DR.. Charles A.
Dickey of Philadelphia. the moderator
of the general assembly of that denom-
ination, is devoting his time to the
work, and at present is speaking in
the west. He will visit all parts of
the Union. The Presbyterians have
not fixed upon a definite sum as their
goal, but their aims run up into the
millions. DR.. Dickeys purpose is to
stimulate the faithful to more liberal

PR EDICT ERUPTIONS.
Volcanoes Have Their Spasms That
Scientists Can ForeteiI.

~'-''
Careful study of the behavior of vol
canoes has enabled observers in recent
years to predict with some degree of
accuracy when a renewal of plutonic
activity is impending. This was the
case last summer, when Mount Etna
for a few days attracted attention, after
seven years of almost complete qui-
escence. The last eruption had oc-
CURED in 1892, but in the autumn of
1898 blue flames began to emerge from
the mouth of the largest crater and
4 great deal of yapor was emitted from
the lesser orifices. 1t was then an
nounced that Etna seemed to be pre-
pairing for an effusion Of lava, prob
ably on the south or southwest slopes.
The expected eruption did not begin
till the morning OF July 10, 1892 when
great volumes of smoke, with lava and
sand, began to issue from the main
crater, but after several days the ac-
tivity subsidized and Etna soon re-
sumed its peaceful aspect. The present
generation hears little of Santorin
among the Cyclades. in the Egean sea-
but the volcano will again become a
center Of interest if the recent state,
meDt IS true that Santorin is prepar-
ing for another series OF the terrific
explosions and outburstS that have
always marked its active periods. For
thirty years Santorin has been con
tent with the continuous mild ennis,
sion Of gases, but according to Comptes
Rendus CT the French Academy Of
Sciences the volcano now exhibits
much unrest and an active period is
predicted. It is near the crescent west
ern shore Of Thera that Santorln has
reared itself and two other lava islands
above the sea. When it finally arouses
itself after long periods of quiescencc
no valcano eXcels it in the violence OF
its outbursts The eruptiOns between
1866 and 1870, when, according tc
Reclus, no less than $4,000 of partial
eruptions were counted in five years,
drew spectators from all parts of the
world, including some men of science,
whose observations made a distinct
addition to our knowledge of volcanic
action. In that period the ashes were
sometimes thrown to a height of A, 900
feet and the immense outpouring Of
scoriae more than doubled the size of
the island Of Nea Kammeni-Chicago
Chronicle.

He Went Mad.

Beautiful scenery here, is it not"

the seashore

ocean as my mother used to have"
Your mothers ocean was superior,

"Oh, yes, vastly superior What

cent sweep Of view! What amplitude
of distance What fishing there was
in my mothers ocean!''
But the sky is magnificent here, is
it not. sir?"
"Too low and too narrow across the
top, replied the stranger.
Il haven't noticed it." said the
young man.
Yes said the stranger; at is too
low and there isn't air enough in if
either. Besides. it doesn't sit plumb
over the earth; it is wider from north
to south than it is from west to east,
l call 1t a pretty poor sky. 1t is no
such sky as my mother used to have"
Pardon me. but did your mother
nave special sky and ocean of her
own?"
But here an old resident came up
and drew the young man aside.
Don't talk to him." said the old
resident. He is hopeless luuatic.

Close shayers Iseware.

In shaving, says the London Family
Doctor, to make the skin perfectly
smooth requires not only the removal
Of the hair, but also Il portion of the
cuticle, and close shave means the
removal OF a layer of skin all around.
The blood vessels thus exposed are not
visible to the eye, but under a micro
scope each little quivering mouth
holding a minute blood drop. protests
against such treatment. The nerve
tips are also uncovered and the pores
are left unprotected, which makes the
skin tender and unhealthy. This sud-
den exposure of the inner layer of the
skin renders person liable to have
colds, Loarseness and sore throat.

Elevators are by no means the re-
cent invention generally supposed An
amusing account of what was probably
the first attempt at an elevator is told
by st. Simon and according to him 1t
was from M. Villayer that the idea
of flying chair" first emanated. This
ingenious person set up a passable pro-
totype of the modern elevator in his
house in Paris, working it up and
down between the walls. The daugh-
ter of Louis XIV. was SO delighted
with the novelty That she had one put
up in her own apartments at Versail-
les. This honor was, however, the I'M
doing of poor M. Villagers machine
The chair suddenly stopped moving
while the princess was between two
landings and she had to remain block
ed up for three hours until the work
men broke a hole through the thick
wall. The king was SO annoyed at this
that he forbade any further experi-
ments in the same line.

30 years old, yet he has retired from

His Rapid Rise.
Ten years ago he was working at
MS trade of carriage making. He
made up his mind that people wanted
cheaper, well-made, piano-b box bug
by. He reasoned that If he could make
enough of these buggies to sell them
at close mergin he could get rich.
With this idea he started in. Last
year his shops turned out and sold
22,00O of these vehicles and on each
one he only made $3.50, but the total
net profit exceeded $4,000 His shops
and offices are fitted up in the most
comfortable style In them he has in

New Vegetable Wanted,

Our present garden vegetables are
cultivated varieties of wild species
Why do not our horticulturists seek
for other wild plants that could be in
troduced with profit to our tables? A
fortune awaits him who does this suc-
cessfully, says LIE Science Francaise.
We may be shy, at first, of a dish OF
iris. or saxifrage salad, but the
papers will relate how Bernhard and
Coquelin ate and liked them, and then
the iris and the saxifrage Will secom,

Their Money.
The natives of that part of South
Africa which to d great extent is in
Aa6ited by bushmen and Hotteutots
have peculiar system Of banks and
h5nElnG. These Kafllrs an ong whom
this curious system Of banking obtains
live near Kaffraria, in the south of the
Colony country. The natives come
down south from their country to trade
IN the several villages and towns in
large numbers ana then return to Kaf-
tFarla. From those who trade of their
own number they select one, who for
the occasion is to be their banker. He
Is converted into a bank of deposit by
putting all the money of those whose
banker he is into a bag, and then they
sally forth to the stores to buy what
ever they want. When an article is
purchased by any of those who are in
this banking arrangement, the price
OF the article is taken by the banker
from this deposit money bag, counted
several times and then paid to the
seller OF the article, after which all the
bank depositors cry ont to the banker
in tho presence of the two witnesses
selected: You owe me SO much!"
This is then repeated by the Wit
nesses. The general accounting comes
between the banker aid his several de-
positors when all desired purchases
have been made, after which all the
natives depart for their northern wilds
