r1 LI i.i f.t ?iWBERR Y. S. C. Great CatastroPht. LYouth's Companion.] The recent dreadful flood in Pennsylvania, by which an un known number of people, lost their - live, was the greatest disaster re sulting from natural causes which we have had in this country. Other -calamities, such as the great fires. in Chicago and Boston, have been accompanied with greater moneN loss but-none has caused a loss of life approaching that in this great Pennsylvania flood. But even this dreadful inunda . tion does not approach in its des tructiveness a number of other fa nons calamities. , Holland has been in times past the home of the floods; its greatest F -calamities have been caused by the breaking of the dikes which pro tect it from the sea. In April, 1421, the breaking of the dikes at Dort, completely submerging seventy-two V towns and villages, is said to have drowned one hundred thousand people. Again, in 1530, another inundation took place in the same country, causing the death, accord ng to the chronicles of the time. of four hundred thousand people. Both these numbers are probably largely exaggerated. Since that time this country has had no great calamity of this kind. In 1SS7. the Bellow River in China burst its banks, flooded two proviinces, drowning more than ten thousand people. and took a new course to the sea. D)readful fan ines resulted fromn the change of its course; and it is 'supposed that a hundred thousand people lost their lives from the two causes flood and famine. But inanidations and stor.s mnst, after all, Vield to volcanic and earthquake disturbances in the errols of their Ieord. No earthquake, Perhaps, has destroyed more human lives than thegreatest of the floods in IIolland; and yet Vie records of these strange con vulsions are far more numerous. We cannot know how many lives were lost in the earthquiakes and floods of remiote antiquity, but Sffty t.housand, it isestinmated, mu:st have died In the destruction of Herculaneumn and Pompeii by the .eruption of Vesuvius in the year 79.. An earthquake which visited SSyria and Western Asia in 742 is saidto have destroyed five hundred ~-hle the loss of life exceeded competition. In Catania, Sicily, in 1137, fif teen thousand people were killed by earthquake, and at and around - Naples in 1450, forty thousand; uhle the Chinese tell of an earth unake in 1731, as a result of which one hundred thousand persons were buried at Pekin alone. SSicily's most dreadful earthqnake ai n,1693, when Catanie was aanddstroyed with eighteen thou sand pegple; fifty-four cities and towns and three hundred villages were overthrowvn, anL more than one hundred thousand lives were said to ha\ve been lost. This did not end Sicilys dreadful chapter, for forty thousand people perished there in 1783. -At Naples six tlionsand lives were lost as recently as 1805. Probably the most famous calam ity of Europe was the Lisbon earth quake, which happened on Novem b er 1, 1755. Lisbon was shaken down in about eight minutes, and fifty thousand of its people were killed by falling walls or swallowed up by the great wave which swept over the quay where they had taken refuge. The same earthquake de stroyed many thousands of lives in other parts of Portugal, in Spain, and Northern Africa. The New World has had its share of earthquakes. At Limia and Callao in 1746, eighteen thou sand lives were lost; in Guatemala, in7 173, eighty thousand1; in 1797. the whole coast of South America, from Cuzco in Peru to Panama, was shaken, and forty thousand lives lost. .At Caracai, Venezuela, in 1812. t welve thousand lives were *lost. Peru, Ecuador and Chili suf fe-ed. on August J3, tS68, the most dreadful earthquake of thieir~ his toy. A frica and Arequipa were levelled to the ground; a lake took the-place of the city of C'otaeachi in Ecuador: Ibarra, Otaivao and other towns wer-e swallowed up. Thirty thousandl pers~ons lost their lives. *The most dreadful earthquake ndvolcaieii eruptionm known to man is the latest in occurrence. In August, 1883. an awful eruption of -the great volcanoes on the island of Krakatoa, Java, began, and be fore it had ended tile island, with -all its mountains, had disappeared; sixteen new volcanic peaks had ap peared in other p)arts of the sur round ing seas; the great mountain of Kramatan in Sumat ra had sunk into the sea: vast areas of Java had been covered deepa with sulphurous md; and about seventy-five thou-1 sad human lives had been de stoyd The tnited States ha ceIt:ily een f'aved amog0 nat ionsIn its A SKELETON WITIHA L1.0MANCE. Story ofthe Fate of a Soldier at Vaney Forge which i. Vouched for aN True. IR:.t.G, July 14.--A paper published near the Falls of French Creek, twenty miles below here, prints a remarkable story which the editor vouches for( editorially as true in every detail. French Creek is a wild, rocky spotj where hundreds of tons of granite blocks far street paving are being taken taken from the imnmefise boulders and shipped to distant cities. The remarkable story is this: The quarrymiie camie upon a cave, in which was found a hunan skeleton. The mouldy clothing in dicated that the skeleton was that of a Continental soldier. The men found an old glass bottle near the skeleton, which was handed to Mr. W. V. Potts. Mr. Potts opened the bottle and found a well-pre served manuscript, and the article signed by Mr. Potts is published by the editor as strictly true. From the manuscript found in the bottle, it appears that the writer was a member of Gen. Wvshinzton's army encamped at Valley Forge, about twventy miles from French Creek; that the soldier had been sent outto fonage with half a dozen others. They were discovered and chased. After they had separated this one soldier crawled into a cave nearly covered by an over hanging rock. A violent storm arose. A fiash of lightning struck the overhanging rock and it fell aid closed the opening, making a pris oner of the soldier. He screamed, but no one heard. le then wrote the letter, May 17. 1778; attesting his undying love for his sweetheartin Richmond, Va., and' gi- ing an account of his strange imprisonment.. He died of star vation, presumably. The letter was addressed to: "Virginia Ran dolph, Richmond." and was signed "Arthur L. Carrington." Mr. Potts' article goes on to say that the correspondence was started with Virginia people, and was final ly learned that a Miss Virginia Randolph died in 1780, two years ater the date of the Carrington letter; that she died grieving for her soldier lover, and that her tombstone is inscribed: 'Died of a broken heart on the 1st of March, 1780, Virginia Ran dolph, aged tl1 years, 9 days. Faith ful unto death." The remains of the skeleton were sent South to be buried by the side of Miss Randolph.. Such is the Potts story, published and vonched for by the editor. Residents of Frenich Creek were asked to corroborate the story. Some doubted it, while others said they had heard something of it be fore, reading it in the newspapers. The story wa-s republished in full in this city to-day, but doubt is thrown on its authenticity-. An Egyptian Mummty Found that had been Emibahzued Alive. A forthcoming work by Prof. Masper on the royal Egyptian iuie is whliich were unbanda ged in .1886, among them being the great Mosiac Pharoah, Rameses H, containedl nrucEi that i-s interesting. The mummies wer revealed in Boark in 18SG, in the presence of the Khedive and high scientific authorities, by whom they were mieasured at ever-y point, It was found in the case of the Princess SitKames that the orifice of the ear and the root of the nose were 'parallel and somewhat above the line of the eye, precisely as we see it i. Egyptian statuary-." The his toric revelation are of great value One of the most difficult problems in Egyptian history, the story of the twenty-first dynasty, hein~g satisfactorily recovered. - Among the mummi es was one of. a young man who evidently had been embalmed alive. The brain. heart, stomach, ete, were intact. The body had been tightly bound i three places--around the shoul ders, round the wrists and loins and round the feet-the ligatures being drawn with such force as to leae (leer) furrows in the flesh. Then it was covered with a thick coat of bitumen. lime and pounded -esin andl wound up fr-om head to foot with bandages soakedl in some glutinouspreparation which caused then to atthere with such tenacity that they had to be sawni off. The agonized expression of the face, the open mouth, the swollen and knotted mnuscles, bore witness to his desperate struggles. His age was about 23. and in his ears were mall gold ear rings. He was evi-. dently of high ranik and the victim of someW utnspeakable tragedy. A serious Mistake. Io elekan out'" the boiwels by strong purgative meLdicines that wvakeni them i a rave miistake.

M-- A 11ey has proved himuself to be. It was an nlounced a few days since that a patent had beeti allowed Mr. Alley for a iechaiic:al dev ice, the object of which was in effect theburning of water for fuel. At the tirst blush this would seemed to be a pr"(ep)os terous proposit ion, but the inventor has fully d,mnonstrated the fact that it is fea.sible. Briefly described the device consists of a report. Out of a stove is a pipe through which the water is fed from a small tank. At the connection of the pipe ;Ud tank there is a piece of simple mechan isn which regulates the flow of water. Connected with the retort in the stove is a cast iron cylinder adapted in size to the stove or fur nace in which it is placed. These parts comprise the whole mechan ism of the device. The theory in volved is the decomposition of the water by heat, the liberation of its component gases, and the combus tion of these in an oxyhydrogen flame. The results aimed at-and it would seem attained-is to create through the consumption of a mod. Crate quantity of wood or coal a great amount of heat. Your corresponcent called upon Mr. Alley. and was shown the ap paratus and witnessed an exhibi tion of its performance. The stove was one of the ordinary box variety of medium size. A fire was built under and around the retort, the fuel used being a few hand(fuls of hard wood and pine wood chips. Pure water. brought directly from the pump, was poured into the tank, a stop-cock was tiriied and the water allowed to feed down into the tank. Soon there issued a low, roaring sound, and the open - ing of the stove door presented to view the flame of pink color and intense heat. The heat radiated from the stove was much greater than would have resulted from the burning of light fuel alone. The stoppag e of water supply by the turning off the stop-cock caused the heat to quickly subside. -"The invention has been inives tigated by a nuber of conservative men, and the general idea is that it is of great value. Mr. N. G. Hal stead, of Milwaukee, is so much in terested in the matter that he has secured a machine from the inven tor, and will set it up and give ex hibitions of its operation in Mil waukee. It is claimed by the inventor that the appliance can be used with advantage in the genera tion of power. butt thiat its province is heating solely. There is no doubt that in furnace heating it will prove valuable. Mr. Alley is the Methodist preacher here, a man of great piety and earnestness, and is much respected. He has' labhored on-this invention for ab:mt ninhi years, and. -of course, is grecatly pleasedl at. the suiccessful result of his work." A itemiark'able Cy-clone itene. E. S. Wilson, a blacksmiti h of Ozark, Mo., has a relic of the Mashifield e-yeilone,. wh iclh occurre-d on Sunday; A pr-il 18. 1880. that is a verry remarkable curmiosityv. This witness of one of the fre-aks of 'the gmeat storm is a black qurt botte. bent by sonme mysteriouis force inito ain ellip.se wvithout a crack or break in the glass that the closest serutinyi can (1iscover. The neck of the bottle actually touches the edge of the bottom, and the fac-t that the glass was rot bro ken in any way by the str-ange fo-ce of the stor-m is shown by the test of its holding water- or any other fluid. By gr-adual ly turning th bioltle as rlie water- is pourmed in, it cani be nearly filled to its full ca pacity, so as to show the perfect soundness of the mnatem-ial. This bottle was found by Mi-. Wilson the day after- the Marshfield dis;'s ter and examined by Prof. 'Thce, who soon camne to the scene of de st-uction to study the p,henomonym of the cyclon'e fr-om a scientific staidpoinit. The famous me teo-ologist attr-ibuted the hending of the b)ottle to the force of electiric it.v. The bottle wa-s found in the w-eck of one of the Ma.rshifleld drug-stores.
