UTILITY OF VC*-” *KCES.
Hit FolTtrlitd erl—l Which They
Throw Out *; ’. :Guo to the Soil*
Tho solid matter thrown out by vol
canoes is the most important contribu
tion to tho materials which tho sea lias at
its disposal for the nourishment of its
life and for the formation of strata. The
quantity of tho pumiceous and finely
pulverized material is enormous. When
it falls upon the sea it either floats for a
time or at once sinks into the depths. In
either case it is, to a great extent, dis-
651 ved in the ocean waters, and so con
tributes to the store of materials which
may be appropriated by tlie organic life
of the sea. When it falls on the land, it
is generally so incoherent that it is easily
swept away by the rains, and no comes
quickly into the ocean. The inqiortance
of this contribution to marine sediments
hqs been overlooked by geologists, but it
is easy to see that it may amount in mass
to something like as diuch as the earthy
matter which is brought to the sea by
the rivers.
The volcanoes of the Java district alone
within a century throws out n mass of
Utis fragmentary rock amounting proba
bly to not less than 100 cubic miles, ami
perhaps to twico this quantity. Now, the
Mississippi river carries out in the form
of dissolved matter, mud anil sand aitout
one cubic mile in twenty years, or five
cubic miles in a century; thus.these vol
canoes of tho Java district liavo brought
up from the depth of the earth and con
tributed to tho sea many times as much
detritus as lias been conveyed to the
ocean by tho greatest river in North
America. Allowing for the greater poros
ity of tho volcanic dust, it still seems not
unlikely that tho ejections from a half
dozen great volcanoes of the East Indian
archipelago, in a period of a little more
than a century, from 1772 to 1883, far
exceeded that brought into t/ie ocean by
all tho rivers of North America in the
sarao period.
Although tho volcanoes of this district
are by far tho most powerful which are
known, we still cannot fairly reckou that
their ejections represent anywhere near
tho half of tho total quantity which came
to tho earth's surfaeo from such vents
during tho above named period of 111
years. For during this time some scores
of great craters wero in eruption, includ
ing Sknptnr, in Iceland, Vesuvius, Etna,
various volcanoes in South America and
elsewhere. It seems, therefore, not un
likely that the solid material contributed
by volcanoes to the sea floor may, on tho
average, amount to as much as that taken
by tho riVcrs from tho land.
Among tho solid substances which aro
ejected by volcanoes wo find somo of tho
most indispcnsablo elements of organic
life, including phosphorus, soda, potash
and other materials. Tho value of these
materials to vegetation may bo judged
hv the fertility which so often character
izes tho regions in tho immediate vicinity
of volcanic cones which cast forth largo
amounts of ash. If tho rainfall ho sutU-
cient this ash quickly decomposes into a
fertile soil, which tempts tho husband
man to replant tho fields as fast as they
are ravaged by the explosion. Wero it
not for tho constant return of them
rarer and precious materials to tho su
perficial part of tho earth by means of
voleanio action, it is likely that tho
earth's surface would want many of tho
substances most necessary for organic
life. Wo thus see that volcanoes play a
very important juirt in tho physical his
tory of our planot. Tho action is, in a
largo degree, restorative. They help to
maintain tho earth's surface in a condi
tion in which it may nurture life.—Cin
cinnati Commercial Gazette.
Picking I ], the Hare Coins.
“Do you know wlmt a good many
bank tellers aiiil men who hundlo largo
amounts of gold anil silver coins do at
tho close of tho day?” queried a former
clerk.
“Go homo, probably.”
“Yes, hut not until they havo looked
through their metal cash for rare coins.”
“Do they over find any?”
“Certainly they do, sometimes, though
not very often. It is a lottery. The fact
that some of tho rarest of American coins
liavo been picked up in ordinary circula
tion keeps their eyes peeled. They know
values pretty well, and the sanguine
cherish tho ho|io of unearthing one of
tho missing dollars of 1804, which are
worth 8200 each. Tn fact, ns high ns
$800 has been offered ami r> fused. Tho
half dollar of 1832, representing Liberty
seated, is in circulation. It is worth
$1.75. Tho Quarter of 1853, without
rays, is occasionally mot. It brings $3.
Among silver dollars of recent coinage
the 1838 dollar, representing Liberty
seated, is tho most valuable. It is worth
$13. So is the sntno coin of 1830. Both
aro in circulation. Tho twenty cent piece
of 1877 is worth $1.50, ami of
$1.25. They aro to bo met, though
rarely. The valuable dimes and half
dimes wero all coined before 1840. Tho
silver threo cent pioco of 1873, with the
largo star, brings sixty cents; tho copper
two cent piece of tlio same year is wortli
tho same. The flying eagle cent of 1830
6ells for $1. All tho gold coins coined
prior to 1833 command premiums. v>
It is scarcely probable mat any otner
city in tho world will have, at least for a
long period, a system of sewer cleaning
as efficient as that of Paris. Tho sewers
are all constructed with thnt end in view,
workmen can carry on their labors with
out stooping, and the bottom is so shaped
ns to facilitate tho work by the different
forms of water gates. In London a second
sewer or gallery is sometimes constructed
above the main conduit by which a par
tial clen:: i’.ig i:i effected. There is not the
slightest doubt that uil cities will have
eventually to build their great intersect
ing sewers, at least, in such a manner
that workmen can pass through them and
clean them. No amount of flushing will
ever Buflice.—Paris Cor. San Francisco
Chronicle.
The First Symptoms
Of all Lung diseases are much the same:
feverishness, loss of appetite, sore
throat, pains in the chest and back,
headache, etc. In a few days you may
be well, or, on the other hand, you may
he down with Pneumonia or “ galloping
Consumption.” Run no risks, but begin
immediately to take Ayer’s Cherry
Pectoral.
Several years ago, James Birchard, olp
Darien, Conn., was severely ill. The
doctors said he-was in Consumption,
and that they could do nothing for him,
but advised hint, as a last resort, to try
Ayer’s Cherry Pectoral. After taking
this medicine, two or three months, lie
was pronounced a well man. His health
remains good to the present day.
J. S. Bradley, Malden, Mass., writes ;
“Threo winters ago I tookasemrecold,
which rapidly developed into IHonchitis
and Consumption. I was so weak that
I could not sit up, was much emaciated,
and coughed incessantly. I consulted
several doctors, but they were power
less, and all agreed that I was in Con
sumption. At last, a friend brought me
a’ bottle of Ayer's Cherry Pectoral.
From the first dose, I found relief.
Two bottles, cured me, and my health
has since been perfect."
