After the Earthquake.

As a sequel to the recent earth
quakes in Sardinia an enormous chasm
has been opened in the earth, while
the surface has bulged into a hill Of
considerable elevation, from which
stones and masses of earth are pro-
jected. There are also symptoms that
the interior Of the hill is in an ebullent
condition. Scientists incline TO the be-
lief that the phenomena observed are
volcanic Another consequence of the
earthquake is that Lake Santo, near
MOdena, which was about 800 yards
long and 100 wide, has completely dis
appeared.

X sailor in the custom house the other day took out of his pocket some silver coins that had strange yellow hue and a clerk said to him: What makes your money such a funny color, Jack?'' Well" replied the mariner, I'm an A. B. on the Paraguay. an We just got in from Texas with a cargo of fuel oil. It's the oil that turned my money yellow. Fuel oil has that ef- feet on every kind of metal. You ought to be on fuel oil steamer some time. It would surprise you to see the cabin silverware. the kitchen tins and every blasted bit of metal on board all having the jaundiced look. There is sulphur in the fuel oil, and it's this sulphur that does the yellowing. Nitric acid will bring back the original color again. .'-Philadelphia Record.
