No form of contagion is so insidious in its onset, so dillieult to check in its advauee, so certain to leave germs that may at any moment reveal their pernicious power, as a mental contagion ?the contagion of fear, of panic, of fuiiutici in, of lav. lt uess, of superstition. Tho story of tho witchcraft persecutions, were there 110 similar records to deface the pages of history, would sullieo as a standing illustration of the overwhelming power of psychic contagion. To iullv illustrate its import mice in tlio production of deception would require an essay in itsolt. It enters at every static of the process and in every typo of illusion.

Tlicro used to bo a largo commerce in moliair, which industry was of great value to U10 |xjo|io of Asia Minor, and it could have controlled tho world's market. Hut Turkish political ccouomy is of that kind that ns soon us it perceives any industry to bo in a flourishing condition it begins to levy unbearable taxes u|>ou it. and thus tno production of this beautiful wool was practically stifled. In addition to tno usual four-fifths thero was placed an export tax of 8 percent, upon it, besides tho prolit of tho middlemen. The pcculiuf* system of taxation made tho gouts taxable as live stock and their milk nsa food product. Their hair was taxed when clipped, and again when shipped abroad. Thus the wholo production of this beautiful textile died out and other countries are beginning to furnish the Angora wool. The culture of tho silkworm and tho manufacture of those unique and almost everlasting silks from Hroussa might be made a source of much rev cnuo to Turkey, were it not for tho policy which taxes every mulberry I!'(!(>. everv niincn of i~iw Killr ntul every yard of goods manufactured, until it is a mutter of surprise how the iHJor wretches who produce them can live. Every fruit bearing tree is taxed, as are also animals, fowls and worms, and, lastly, labor itself is taxed, and the wage worker has to surronder all that the tax gatherers can squeeze out of him without uctually starving him o death. The laborers in the interior of Turkey and her dependencies are so thin that they look liko moving mummies, and they all have tho expression of utter despondency and hopelessness on their wizened features. Tho collection of taxes in all tho interior of Turkey and her dependencies upon farm produce, made by revenue oSlicors belonging to each particular puchalik is made 111 kind when there is no ivady money. When the crops fail tho amount which each one usually pays must ho given in money,* otherwise the soldiers, or revenue oliieers, s.eizo the animals, implements, copper cooking utensils, and, in fact, everything of sullieieut value to carry oil', and theso are turned into money, leaving whole families utterly destitute. If they make an outcry they rcoeivo the bastinado or are thrust into prison. Those farmers or peasants who live within a distance of lifty miles from Constantinople bring their scanty stock of salable articles, such as small vegetables, fruit, poultry, etc., and all these roads converge in two, which have stations for tlie revenue oilicers at Mashiak, whi'di is near the forest at IVI.r...,,!.. M...1 flwt T..V near llio Grand Champs cemetery. Hero the trains of poor peasants pass with their donkeys, with their bags upon their shoulders or with baskets containing a little sal.ul or a few eggs or chickens?in short, anything they have to sell. They are stopped and their produce appraised, and the peasant must render up part of his scanty store, letting the oilieials take out what they wish as tax. Then he receives a hit of rod paper which permits him to go on selling* the diminished stock. Money, however, is always preferred when the peasant has it, but when ho has no.money the officials help themselves always to the best of tbo stock. If he complains, which lie seldom does, lie receives the bastinado. No other people ia these days could bo so submissive under such abject slavery. All the drinking water is brought from long distances ?n barrels and bags on the hacks of men, and this water is also taxed, with the exception of that which is brought for the sultan's household. The resources of Turkey proper are various and would enrich any other country in (ho world, and when wo ul <?? take into account all the tributary nations and dependencies, wo wonder <i.?, ...i...... ..i . .... ..... rn.? ........ 411/ III V J I I I i 1 \ \ I .'.II [MM V I i>, i I I U LUU11" try is large ami reaches into several climates.

The Turkish dyes!ulis were always valuable and in largodemutid, hut the government effectually killed the industry by handicapping it with taxes and export duties, until now the trade is nominal. Indeed, the whole policy of Turkey lias Ihvii to kill the goose that lays the golden egg. 1 here are valuable coal mines in many parts of Turkey?one within forty miles of Constantinople?and they are not utilized, though the need for fuel in that city is great. The present supply for healing houses through their very rigorous winters is charcoal and wood, brought from long distances on camels and hoist * in inliuitesiinally small quantities, and sold hy the chekkee or armful. -Cor. hew York ller:.Id. j*.e oeteetivc^ of Berlin are the n arest approach in stoiiditv to those ol I,Minion. 1 hero i . lva1ly very httio crime in tin- (icrman empire, on account of the extraordinary sentences that arc imposed nnil the strict military discipline that prevails throughout the empire, and which has its highest development in llerlin.

Toward morning 1 1 was overpowered bv sleep and went to tho little ludroom which looks toward tlio mountain, rested on tho bed, and 60011 was evidently sound asleep. Soon afterward I was awakened by a tremendous din, w'.ueh can hardly l>o described. * As I jumped up from my bed I felt stones falling on tho.roof as hail?such cannonading going on. I understood what was tho matter, and ran to the opposite room, where I had mado my children sleep that night. They wero also up in consequence of an indescribable noiso of thunder, rush of gases, (lames, falling of huge bowlders, rocks, etc. 1 took them to the drawing room, but as soon as the door was opened a big stone, red hot (all these stones were quite red with heat), fell through the roof, ceiling and lloor ti few yards from lis, smashing all, setting fire to everything. Now 1 took my children back to the bedroom ! which looks on to the veranda, and tried 1 to gain the terrace by that side. Tho ! house doors were shivering and shaking, | so that it was-n difiicult matter to open ! them. At last 1 succeeded, but before wo were out in tho veranda another i stone fell at ?>ur feet, was smashed to I fragments, and burned tho feet and legs j of my boys. I Now we passed through the veranda, | regained the house at the topof the stairs; i here another stone fell very near us (none 1 of these stones were less titan two feet in umiuuiiTj. him biunu ^wiucn lb lilt' fourth that struck ilio house) has nearly blocked our way out in the rubbish i' j brought from tho roof. We passed through over the heap of rubbish and j were now out in the open to tho north of l tlie house. r>y this time (not many uiin| utes after all) tho whole place was lighted j up; woods, grass, buildings, hedges?all j was 011 lire; tho huge bowlders and | atones were literally raining everywhere about us?what confusion! Natali, the j faithful boy, had l>y this time come to tho help of my little hoys. We all began j to run to Vulcanello and away from the i dreadful thundering mountain. Toward noon boats of rescue reached us l'rom Lipavi, and we thus ended one of the most eventful days of our life. On revisiting the spot I saw the whole plains below tho mountain, to tho distance of one and a half miles, especially tlic neighborhood of the house and the men's habitations, literally covered with bowlders and rocks of till sizes, which have embedded themselves in the ground to various depths. Tho most huge- of ? them is near tho well of the house, which is not less than ten yards in diameter, or better, length, and in some ten and eleven feet deep in the ground. This is about three-quarters ?>f a mile from tho crater. Another of nearly equal dimensions is on the shore near the (Juatantana, at tho end of tho hay of the Levante. Hocks of one yard in diameter areas plentiful as can be as far as tho middle of Vulcanello. near lite lkmto Samossa. No doubt many of these bowlders are from ten loihteen yards across, and are projected as far as 11 to sea, but often fall I back in tho crater i'.ooli". This Mate i continuing iuee- antly and uninterruptedly, causing further damage and frightening everybody.? Li pari for. l'all Mall Gazette. I -- - i vunicnis m a .sorui i urollna ;>:iiuik!. Mr. J. M.

Within tho mound wns found a skeleton lying upon its face, with tho head resting iti a large sea shell, tho inner surface of which was carved with hieroglt pities. Around tho neck wero large beads made of sea shell -. The arms were extended and bent at the elbows, so as to bring tho hands within about a foot of the head. Around each wrist was a bracelet, composed of copper and shell heads, alternating. The copper heads appeared to have been hammered into thin sheets and rolled around tho string, a part of which was preserved. Near the right hand was an iron implement like a chisel or punch, not sharp pointed, but smaller at tho end away from the handle. The left hand was resting on tho convex surface of a sea shell, tho concave surface of which contained about a hundred small bead -. The da 11 was carved with hieroglyphic.^. ?Popular Science Monthly. A Somewhat Ancient Toad.

Harris Holers, of Washing* Ion, is responsible for :t new telegraph invention, which will bo known as visual synchronism. The discovery consists of ;t method by which two wheels, thousand.-. of miles apart, may l>o kept revolving in perfect unison, and the application consists in the ul ilitv to print uiul transmit from ono wheel to another about 150 woitls a minute. lJ.v means of u muuII instruineiit with ten keys a message is first perforated on a tape. This tnpo runs through a telegraphic instrument, and the perforations permit small steel fingers to make cleetrieal connections with an ordinary telegraph wire, which in its turn connects with tho receiver on tho other distant wheel, and influences ten magncs3 provided with curves and rtrokes, which combine to form Unman letter:; in accordance with the original perforations. The two indicators or wheels which actually form tho visual .synchronism give fit;!) involutions a minute, and each revolutii n forms a letter. This gives about 1 ;> words a minute.
