The terrible eruption of Krakatoa, in the Sunda strait, in 1883, furnished the opportunity for illustrating the ease with which nature can replant with veg- etable life a distriét that has become ; completely isolated. The volcanic erup- Ition was one of the most destructive recorded in history, the loss of human life being estimated to exceed 100,000. 0f the 35 volcanoes on and near the Island of Java 26 were in violent erup- tion at the same time. The center of disturbance was the island volcano of Krakatpa, which emitted molten lava and burning ashes in such abundance that every living thing, whether animal or vegetable, on the island was de- stroyed, and an observer from a ship which approached close to the land de- clared that the whole island was red hot. Four years from the date of the eruption the island was visited by an eminent naturalist, who found that the ashes and Java had cooled to such an extent as to permit the beginnings of vegetable life, and on making a closer examination he discovered that dur- ing the brief space of four years nature had stocked the island with 246 difier- ent kinds of plants. . There are many seeds which seem, by their formation, to be specially de- signed for transmission though the air, and of these several are quite as good illustrations as the thistle. The seed of the common dandelion, a plant to be seen on every commo‘n, has win gs which will carry it away on the slightest breath of air. The wings are very slight filaments, radiating backward from the seed, so that, when the latter finally lodges, it falls tip first, in the most favorable position for taking root. Country children in the United States often find amusement in blowing the seed from the stalk and watching to see how far they will go before falling to the ground, but whenever there is even a moderate breeze the experiment is uniformly a failure, as the fieecy seed fly Out of sight and are gone in an in- stnat, and the next season a dandelion springs up in somebody’s lawn, where the plant was never seen before. The common tumble weed is another exam- ple "of the winged seed. The plant grows in a woolly bunch, which, when dried, is easily separated from the stalk, and a light breeze sets the ball rolling over the ground, to scatter its seed wherever it goes. The seeds of many ferns and micro- scopic plants are so constructed as to be readily lifted and carried away by the wind, while some of considerable size are provided with an elaborate ar- rangement for aerial transportation. The common maple is an. example of the last kind, for projecting from its large head is a membrane closely resembling in size, shape and general appearance the wing of the locust. When the seed is separated from the tree, even if the air be quite still, it does not fall direct- ly to the earth, but, by its peculiar con- struction, acquires in falling a spiral motion that takes it several feet from beneath the starting point, and when a. brisk breeze is blowing one of these winged s'ecds has been known to twirl through the air for six miles before its journey came to an end and it sank to the ground, there to germinate and start a maple grove—St. Louis Globe~ "Democrat. l ART IN THE HOME. l There Should Be Books and Bookcases in Every Room. A bookcase should, if possible, find a place in every room of the house, un- less, perhaps, we except the. dining- room, usually kept for the purpose of dining, as it at once adds the charm of ' comfort and homeliness, besides being a. most useful possession. Without books a home lacks its best ornaments, and to nice as a pretty, well-designed book- case. Naturally, we should not use the same design for the different rooms. In this, as in all things, appro~ priateness has to be considered. It W BATES” must suit the style of the room,‘and be in keeping with the other furniture. For the library it is usual to have fitted bookcases, in oak or walnut, which are sometimes carried from floor to ceiling, but may be made only half way to form a dado, the top shelf being furnished with‘handsomc mold ing and forming a ledge for the display of a. few choice ornaments. . In the sitting-room hall a dwarf book- case, with nicely carved pedestal mold- ings, looks extremely well, and will be found very handy for books of ref- crence. A still simpler bookcase may be made by fitting three shelves into a recess and finishing the edge with a. small cbead molding, or even a good silk fringe, and suspending a silk'curtain _ from thclowest shelf to the floor, be- hind which newspapers, etc., may be placed. This style, again, is very use- ful in the bedroom, and it is so readily made that anyone who has. an idea of carpentry can manage to erect one for himself at a very small cost. Then. again, there is the small, hanging book- case, or, rather, shelves, which are usu- ally f und in bedrooms and girls’ sit» t-ing- oms, and are always useful and pretty wall dccora firms—Chicago Inter Ocean. .——— What Troubled Him.

' . NOTES, OF ’THE STAGE. Sir Edward Malet, late British am- bassador at Berlin, whose opera “Har- old” was performed at Covent Garden last season, is at work on a- new opera. The Operettas of Strauss are now all the rage 'in the cities of France, where the superb finalesare often encored three or four times. His latest work, “Waldmeistcr,” is near its 100th per- formance in Vienna. Gluck’s “Orphee” has just been given for the first time at, the Paris Opera Comique, arranged in four acts, with a final tableaux. Mme. Delna was the Orpheus. It was in Paris that the opera was first performed in 1774. Barney Barnato has become the hero of a play. Under the name of Bailey Prothe'ro he is the central figure in>“The logue’s Comedy,” by Henry Arthur Jones. As the title indicates the pic turc drawn of the renowned money-maker is not a flattering one. Macbeth’s duel with MacDuif had serious consequences at a performance at Chatham lately. Gordon Craig, El- len Terry’s son, who was acting Mac- beth, broke his sword and gave MacDulf a bad cut on the hand. The curtain was ~1 rung down, when a rope broke, and the curtain hit a scene shifter on the head, knocking him senseless. FOR IDLE MOMENTS. Some Japanese magicians are so clever- that while smoking they are able to form letters and short’ words with the smoke that issues from their lips.- Burglars entered a blacksmith’s shop in Alpena, Mich, and removed plun‘der weighing about two tons. Among the things stolen were two anvils. The young king of Spain- was recent- ly reciting a. geography lesson to his teacher, and described an island as “:1 body of land, alums;~ entirely occupied by insurgénts.” A fat muskrat was in the habit of entering the cellar of W. C. Bahr, at East Marion, N. Y., and gorging itself with spring vegetables. The farmer lay in ambush one night, and with apitchfork closed the career of the plunldcrer. When the Japanese are about to launch a- ship, a pasteboard cage, con- tainirg- several birds, is hung over the bow. As the ship slides into the water, a strf: 2‘ opens the cage, and the released birds make the dir musical with their merry voices The highestrpriced watch made in Geneva costs $700. It records fractional parts of a second, strikes the hours and quarters, and plays three tunes. With gems to ornament the case, the value can, of course, be increased to several thou-sand dollars. THINGS TO KNOW. The word “Eurasian” is a combina- tion of European and Asian and is used to designate an inhabitant of Hindu- stan one. of whose parents is a European and the other a native of Asia. The number of Roman Catholics in the United States is 9,410,790. This is partially explained by the fact that membership in the Catholic church may be had at a very early age. Many wild birds indicate by a change of the tone of their voice the nearness of rain. The blackbird. for instance. whose voice is usually soft, utters a - shrill cry when a storm is impending. Shepherds say that the wool of sheep furnishes an excellent indication of weather changes. When it is crisp there will be no rain. When it is limp and, feels very soft to the touch a storm is imminent. The seven Bibles of the world are the Koran of the Mohammedans, the Tri- Pitikes of the Buddhists, the Five Kings of the Chinese, the Three Vedas of the- Hindoos, the Zend-Avesta of the Per- sians, the Mormon and the Scriptures of the Christians.
