Submerged Roman Cities.

Late explorations of the Italian
coast near Pompeii have changed the
opinion of antiquarians, says the New
York Tribune. The submerged Roman
ruins along the coast used to be re-
garded as foundation walls thrown out
for sea baths. but 1t was made clear
hat they are the remains of noble
mansions, and that they point to the
time when the land on which they
stood was far above the level of the
sea. The shore is, in fact, strewn with
The wreck of buried cities. Coast
roads have vanished, ancient quarries
have been flooded and the breakwa-
lers of the harbors of classical story
covered fathoms deep with water. A
yreat submarine sea wall, with con-

he fragments. But neither the frag-
nents nor the great sea wall have been

A Pineapple Hint.

The toughness of pineapples, says
a writer in the National Magazine, is
almost entirely eliminated by slieing
the fruit up and down from stem to
blossom end, instead of through the
core, as Is usually done.
Thrust fork into the blossom end
to hold the pineapple steady, and
slice until you come to the hard pithy
core, which can then be discarded.
The trick was taught me by an old
pineapple grower and makes all the
difference in the world In the tender
ness of the fruit, which Is usually hard
and chippy when sliced with. instead
of against, the grain.

Praise Of Surgeons Skill Held to

A curious libel suit against the
New Orleans Picayune has been with
drawn by the plaintiff after it had
had been appealed to the supreme
court and reversed. The suit was
brought by a physician because the
paper had complimented his skill and
professional devotion in an important
surgical case.
The doctor said that the laudatory
article, although written with the
kindest intention, was injurious to
him, as it placed him before the pub
lie in the light of quack, because
reputable medical men never "allow
themselves to be advertised before
the public" The lower court upheld
the defendants plea that there was no
cause for action, but the supreme
court in remanding the case said:
True, words of praise and congrat.
nlation are not actionable. But words
OF praise and congratnlation may-on
rare occasions fortunately-lose their
grace and charm and become action.

FRISCO'S FIRE HEROES.
How They Fought For the City They
Loved So Well.

In letter TO his sister, Katherine
Russell of San Jose, Stephen Russell, a
captain In the San Francisco fire de-
partment, deals with a particular fea-
ture of the recent disaster which has
hitherto escaped attention, says the
San Jose Mercury. Mr.. Russell says:
"We will never be able to give any
hind of description approaching ac-
curacy of the terrible scenes during the
earthquake and for the three days fol
lowing. AS soon as possible after the
shake ascertained that ali my family
was unlnjured. Then commenced our
fight with the fire, which lasted amid
narrowing and nerve racking scenes for
flfty-two hours without intermission.
at took two firemen to hold the hose
while two more sheltered them with
wet blanket. And many, many times
we would lie down In the gutter and
roll in the water, but ii would not be
two minutes till we were perfectly dry
again. Our coats fell from our backs.
Rubber coats lasted no length of time
at all. Our caps were burned or baked
on our heads. Our feet were blistered
by the heat on the rubber boots. Yet
every man fought on for fifty-two
hours, when ordinarily n two hours
fight will exhaust a man. The doctors
and nurses went up and down the line
and injected strychnine into US so we
could go on. And one volunteer citi-
zen, who had good judgment, went up
and down the line with a sack and
dipped ii in the gutter, then applied il
TO the back of our necks. Many times
were we trapped by the fire and could
not get the horses to our engines, but
pulled them out for us. The horses
were exhausted also and could not pull
the engines at times. One place in
particular, up a steep hill, we put a
rope on the engine and about 500 peo-
pie got hold and dragged horses, engine
and all UP the hill. We had over half
of our hose burned. And many of the
men were dellrious at times. We had
no conception Of time. and when |
came to make out my report l called
my men in to help, and while one
would be positive that a certain thing
took place at s o'clock in the morning
another would swear 1t was at IL
o'clock ut night 1t was as bright as
day at all times. You can imagine how
we fought, for we all loved San Fran
cisco, and to see her go up in smoke
nearly broke our hearts"
