RaGauuGns.

Mr. Birrell's story about the little
ragamufiin in a church school stirred
a clerical correspondent to write q let
ter wherein he spoke Of ragamufins
as boys who have more rags than
mullins" No doubt that was not meant
to be taken seriously from the etymolog-
ical point of view. The muffin of the
word has puzzled many. "Ragamuf-
fln," says DR.. Johnson, lis from rag,
and know not what else" According
to DR.. Brewer the word means a rag
ged "muff'' or muffin" "a spiritless
fellow. But the original Ragamoffyn
seems to have been a demon in certain
old mystery plays, whose name was
probably just high sounding nonsense
1t is curious. however, that 'the rag
man" is an old name for the devil

PUMlCE STONE.
The Product of Monte Chirica, on the
Island OF Lipari.

The Product of Monte Chirica, on the
Island OF Lipari.
Pumice, as is well known, is of vol
canic origin, being q trachytic lava
which has been rendered light by the
escape of gases when in q molten state
1t is found on most of the shores of the
Tyrhenian sea and elsewhere, but is at
present almost exclusively obtained
from the little island of Lipari. Most
of the volcanoes of Lipari have elected
pumaceOus rocks, but the best stone is
all the product of one mountain, Monte
Chirica, nearly 1000 feet in height,
with its two accessory craters. The
district in which the pumice is excavat-
ed covers an area of three square miles
1t has been calculated that about 1000
hands are engaged in this industry, 600
of whom are employed in eXtricating
the mineral
Pumice is brought to the surface in
large blocks or in baskets and is car
ried thus either to the neighboring vii
lage or to the seashore to be taken
there in boats. The supply is said to be
practically inexhaustible Pumice is
used not merely for securing and
cleansing purposes, but also for polish
ing in numerous trades; hence the fact
that the powdered pumice exported ex-
ceeds in weight the block pumice. Be
tween twenty and thirty merchants are
engaged in the pumice trade ON the
island.-London News.

A SUBMARINE FOREST.
wonders of the oTshore Sierras, =
Coast Range of California.

Along the great blue current of
Japan that sweeps down the Califor-
MA coast is strung n chain of islands.
They are the SUBMITS OF offshore sier-
ras, a coast range Of California that
has been partly overwhelmed by the
sea All have a peculiar beard, or pro-
tecting growth of weed, that consti-
tutes a perfect forest about them, A
giant seaweed growing in water sixty
or more feet in depth and forming a
natural wave break and q home for
countless marine animals. The vines
are sometimes 100 feet in length, vast
cables, with broad, crimpled leaves of
a dark olive hue, which assume grace
full shapes in the tide.
When the visitor peers down into
the turquoise water the scene is often
a revelation. a new world is opened
up and the real beauties of oceanic or
submarine scenery are appreciated.
The great leaves are carried by the
ftful currents that sweep these islands
in every direction. Sometimes they
are extended at full length and appear
Ike a horde of green snakes. Again
they lie down upon the surface, list
less and dropping. taking myriads OF
shapes and forming hooks and corners
of great beauty.
So attractive are these forests that
what is known as the water glass has
been elaborated into a glass bottomed
boat, which has several large plate
glass windows through which the pas.
sengers gay look down into the kelp
forests and view a panorama Of the
sea. These boats range in size from
rowboats to sidewheel steamers, so ar
ranged that they can float over thC
forest and view its wonders up and
down the coast.-Chicago News.
