To Preserve Hen Fruit.

M. Louis Parisot, an eminent French
chemist, has discovered a liquid which
he claims to be capable of preserving
the freshness Of eggs for a period of
twelve years, says the London Mail.
About year ago he placed large
number of these delicacies in the liq-
uid, getting magistrate to witness his
act and seal the tank with his official
seal. A few days ago the tank was
opened in the presence of his worship,
the eggs being found to be in excellent
condition. -Four eggs were selected hap

boiled were eaten, the magistrate pro-
nouncing them to be excellent and pos
sessing delicious flavor Another tri-

other day, some eggs which had been

ST. PIERRE AND PoMPEn.

Comparison of the Two Disasters
by Edgar Saltus.
ST. Pierre has been generally COM
pared to Pompeii. The comparison is
imaginative but not exact, says Edgar
Saltus in the New York Journal. In
st. Pierre destruction has been pluto
man. III Pompeii it was relatively
slight. Pompeii was a town of about
10000 Inhabitants. OF these all save
few hundred escaped The latter
were asphyxiated.
There had occurred a hail of little
stones. Then ensued rain of ashes.
1t was that which suffocated those who
remained. Thirty years ago the same
sort of thing happened at Naples, but
with this difference-for protection UNI
brellas sufficed.
A comparison between st. Pierre and
Pompeii is not therefore admissible.
point. The catastrophe which occurred
there was due, however, not to an erup-
ton, but to an earthquake. 1t may be
worth noting that in modern Greek
earthquakes and eruptions are synony-
nous. They are called theomenia, lit
orally Gods anger, a term probably
suggested by. Psalm civ, 80: Gle look
eth on the earth and it trembleth. He
toucheth the hills and they smoke.''
Statisticians estimate that through
theomenia 100000 people have lost
their lives. To these must now be
added those that have persisted In
Martinique. Yet, though the loss there
is prodigious, it is less.than that which
Lisbon knew.
When the capital of Portugal fell,
Europe shook The Alps tottered. The
Pyrenees quivered as leaves do in a
storm. The CONFUSION was felt in
Africa. Near Morocco an entire city
disappeared. The earth opened. Then
it closed. The city had gone. The vi
brations of the earthquake extended to
Finland. They reached Canada. They
affected even the Antilles. Meanwhile
at Lisbon in just six minutes 10000
people died.
The catastrophe in the Caribbean is
therefore more comparable to that than
to the accident at Pompeii. Investiga-
lions have shown that in Pompeii there
was no lava, no fire, none of the hor-
rors which the southern sea has seen,
but as investigations have also shown
there have been mistakes.
The sentinel, for instance, who per-
ished nobly, marty to duty at his
post, has turned out to be a footpad.
Through an error Of antiquarians the
honors due to hero have been usurped
by thief. 1t is comforting to conclude
that in honors as in horrors it is human

sion, Notwithstanding his six eyes, is
far from being acute, says an English
naturalist. 1t it very difficult to catch
a spider with pair of forceps, but
scorpion can easily be captured if NO
noise is made. Spiders see their prey
before they are caught in the web, but
the scorpion makes no movement what
ever to seize flies or cockroaches until
they indicate their whereabouts by
movements. This being the case, it
can readily be understood how easily
the scorpion may be reused into motion
by the vibrations of music.
If tuning fork be sounded on the
table on which l keep my Gagged scor-
pion, he at once becomes agitated and
strikes out viciously with his sting.
On touching him with the vibrating
tuning fork he stings it and then coils
himself up, as scorpions do when
hedged in.

THE ITALIAN FEAST.

The Italians of this city are ce1e- brating the St John annual feast with traditional pomp, according to the na- tional customs. The devoted patriots of "Celenza yalfortorev venerate their saint patron, even in this hospitable land of the free, where we see a multi tude of mixed races whose religion differs very much from each other. The Italians in general. born under that beautiful and burning sky, edu- cated under the discretion of a priest, they conserve immutably their wor- ship. customs and usages. Italy being the land of the papal regent, being the place of Catholicism power, its people are accustomed to venerate all the saints of the calendar.
 It is really a marvel to see the fer- vid devouts in the day of feast gather cd in groups. lined equally in their respective robe of congregations. march forward in procession all around their native towns with lighted candle sticks placed in their right hand, fol- lowed by a multitude of priests and then the statue of their saint brought by several of the strongest men chosen for that event For a stranger such view is wonderful and he, before that joyful throng remains stupefied. Per haps the Americans laugh at such a national celebration. I hope not.
 Tonight the local Italian band will play in the vast "piazra" of Bank street, headquarters of the Italians, where thousands of people will enjoy the sound of the sweet Italian music. About 9 o'clock there will be superb show of fireworks.
