It, was "thought by those who knew us least, that the destruction of our Ware­ house by tire a year ngo. would cripple us. Instead oi doing^ so, it has given us new life and vigor so that we are now better pre­ pared than ever before to under­ sell our (would be) competitor*. Our Spriu<r stock is by for the largest ami best in the county, *nd we are selling so close that it is a rare thing to see any one looking at our goods and going awaj without buying.

In 1797 the crater of Tusenragna. one of the great peaks of the Andes, flung out torrents of mud. which dammed up the rivers, opened aew lakes, and in valleys 1000 feet wide made deposits 600 feet deep. The stream from Vesuvius, which, in TtS7, passed through Torre del Greco. contained 33,000 cubic feet of solid matter, and in 1798, when Terre del Greeo was destroyed a second time. the mass of lava amounted to 45.000,000 cubic feet. In 1760 /Etna poured forth a flood whloh covered 84 square miles of surface and measured over 1,000 000,- 000en bio feet. On this occasion the •and and scoria formed the Monte Ro- slni, near Nicolosa, a cone of two mites io circumference and 4,000 het high. The stream thrown out by ^tua in 1810. was in motion at the rate of a yard a day for nine months after the to directions, eruption; it is on record that the lava •f the same mountain, after a terrible eruption, wan not thoroughly cool and consolidated for ten years after the oruption. In the eruption of Vesuvius A. 79. the scoria and ashen vomited forth far exceeded the bulk of the mountain; while in 1^60, «5£tna dis­ gorged twenty times* itH own mass. Vesuvius has sent its ashes as far as Constantinople,Syria and Egypt; it hurled stones, eight pounds in weight, to Pompeii, a distance of six miles, while similar masses were tossed up S/WO feet above the summit. Coto- p«xl has projected a block of 100 cubic yards in volume a distance of nine miles; and Sumbawa, in 1815, during the moat terrible eruption on record, aont its ashes as far as Java, a distance 0if three hundred miles.

'M i* designed to obviate the difficulty jgrftich ripples 011 the surface of the water make for the eye which would pierce its depths. There are three forms of water glass, namely, an ordi- buckct or barrel with the bottom locked out; secondly, a pieoe of tin, a funnel shape about three feet long ptd nine inches in diameter at the Jiroad or bottom end, and large enough accommodate the observer's eyes-- Into the broad end should bo inserted *ib plato of strong glass and tome feight to weigh it down; thirdly, the mpiest way is to get a tin or zinc <4Hibe like a map case.
