VOLCANO A WEATHER PROPHET
It's Warning Answn to the Ancients
Many Centuries Ago.

As natural weather prophet, and
infallble at that, the volcano on the
island of Vulcano, twelve miles north
of Sicily in the Mediterranean, is be-
lived to hold the record The follow
ing Is from an account Of dinner
given by the Geographical Council
club of England in 1898 Capt
Wharton the photographer to the
admiralty. told how he had once an
chored in very deep water on the
east side of Vulcano, the southern
most of the Lipari isles, but that he
had kept up stream, with the intention
of being off Immediately If the wind
changed to the east. He mentioned
this to an Engishman who lived on
the island and was in charge OF some
borax works. But said the man,
there is not the rcmOtest chance OF
the wind going round to the east
without the full warning What
warning? asked the other on! was

warns us. The Volcano! said Whar.

after this Wharton was looking at

that that writer mentions the fact

Some Old.Time Proverbs,

There is no doubt that much of
what is called success in life depends
upon getting well into the groove"
and keeping there. Some unlucky
Englishman is responsible for the
saying, IF my father had made me
halter, men would have been born
without heads" but this can scarcely
be called original, as an unfortunate
Arab, ages ago, declared IF | were
to trade in winding sheets no one
would die II is to men of this stamp
the French apply the proverb, Falls
on the back and breaks his nose;" the
Italians, He would break his neck
over stew" "Misfortunes seldom
come singly" has many equivalents in
all languages. The Spaniards say,
Welcome, misfortune, II thou contest
alone" and Whittier goest thou, mis-.
fortune? To where there is more?"

CANNED GOODS GOOD FOOD.
Prof. Prescott Says They Are Both
Wholesome And Safe.

The question Ia sometimes asked,
are canned goods likely TO cause pto-
maine poisoning? The answer TO this
SIN general, no." An entirely un-
warranted prejudice against canned
foods exists In some quarters, fos-
tered no doubt, by extravagant news
paper statements in cases Of illness
where the cause is not at once ap-
parent. and "ptomaine poisoning
from canned goods" IL sagely sug-
gested as a means Of concealing
ignorance OF the real cause. AS a
matter Of fact. canned goods, II
properly prepared, are among the
most wholesome and safe foods, be-
cause they are generally prepared
from fresh. or at least undecomposed
material, and are freed from bacteria
by efficient sterilization. This In
sures that no further change can
take place unless micro-organlsms
gain access in some way. It oc-
casionally happens that sterilization
is not complete, and in this case the
material in the can may spoil. The
same results may be produced II the
cans happen to be leaky. But the
consumer may generally avoid
trouble from both these sources by
careful inspection Of the cans. Gases
are almost always disengaged In fer
mentation. and especially in, putre-
factiye processes. These gases cause
dlstenson or Swelling" Of the cans;
the ends become convex or bulged,
where they should be concave or
hollow. It should be the invariable
rule of the housekeper never to ac-
cept a can which is swelled; the con-
cavity OF sides or ends Is the out
ward sign of a good can, on the
other hand, 1t is not to be sup
posed that the contents Of can, after
opening, win keep indefinitely, or are
proof against the attacks of putre-
factive bacteria simply because they
have hitherto ben sterilized or pre-
served. OF course, II they become
seeded with germs and are left under
growth. decomposition will readily
set in.--Prof. Samuel c, Prescott.

LOOKS LIKE THOMAS Upton,
Captain 6urehell, OF The oweene,
Resembles Famous Yaehtsnnan.

Captain Burohell Of the British
bark Owneene, which discharged
1900 tons OF coal here last week, is
a living likeness of Sir Thomas Lip-
ton.
He resembles tht distinguished Bri-
ton to such an extent that he has
been mistaken for him on many oc-
casions. While In London a couple
of years ago the captain states that
some of the highest nabobs In the
land came up and addressed him as
Sir Thomas, and inquired when he in
tended to compete again for the
American cup. He went through the
same experience In New York a sum-
ber of times and upon the strength
of his strong resemblance to the fa-
nous sportsmen and tea merchant he
was given the best that the city af-
forded. Nothing was too good for
him, and he says that he was sorry
that he finally woke up and realized
that 1t was all dream.
According to what people say >
explained the captain, Il am very
much like Upton in appearance, but
when it comes to financial matters he
