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."
