The Giant of LObsters,

The largest lobster ever caught on
the coast of America was taken by a
Belfast (Me.) fisherman in 1891. 1t
weighed twentythree pounds and
measured thirty-seven inches from the
end of its tail to the tip of the long
front claws. The monster was too
large to enter a common lobster trap.
but as the trap was being drawn up it
was caught in the netting and safely
landed. Many years ago a lobster
weighing twenty-five pounds was cap
tured near the same place, and the
event was considered to be of enough

PUMlCE STONE.
The Best Quality Comes From the Is

The Best Quality Comes From the Is
land of Lfpari.
We often hear it remarked, and par
ticularly after the eruption of volca-
no, that pumice stone ought to be plen-
tiful and cheap, as quantities must
have been elected during the volcanic
disturbance AS a matter of fact, how
ever, none of the white stone in ge,t-
eral use is obtained from active volca-
noes. 1t comes from the deposits of the
article discovered in one or two quar-
tiers Of the globe, the best of which is
at present to be found in the island Of
Lipari, situated in the Tyrrhenian sea.
The island is mountainous in character
and consists of tufts and lavas and Of
highly siliceous volcanic products. The
district where the stone is found is
called Campo Blanco or Monte Petalo,
1900 feet above the level of the sea.
After riding a considerable distance,
partly along PERCEPTIONS paths sufti-
GENTLY dangerous to be interesting and
partly through vineyards and over
grassy plains, one almost comes sud
denly upon a seemingly snow clad val
ley Enclosed by hills also quite white,
and the whole glaringly bright on
sunny day. Into those hills workmen
are increasingly digging deep burrows,
working within by candlelight. In their
excavations they come across many
Jumps of pumice stone. which are plac-
ed in baskets, subsequently being con-
veyed along the valley TO the seashore,
where small boats are loaded and sail
to the seaport near by, where the stone
IS sorted, packed and shipped to dis
tant parts either by way Of Messina or
Leghorn.

Adirondack.

The word Adirondack" comes to us
from the language of the Mohawks.
With them 1t was Ha-de-ron-dack and
meant wood eaters. This term was
applied in derision to a few members
of once powerful branch of the AL
gonquins, who We're defeated by the
Iroquois and forced to seek refuge in a
fastness of the mountains. They were
IN great distress, and it is said they
sent messengers to their victors asking
them to make no further war upon
them, as they were reduced to the ne
cessity of eating roots and the bark of
trees. A few of them finally escaped
to the north, and others were captured
and held in slavery by the Mohawks.
