The ? three essential" conditions on" which the production of volcanio phe nomena seems, in Mr, jAida'ij opinion, to depend, ar& the following: first, the existence of certain apertures or cracks communicating between the in terior and the surface , of , the .flurttu secondly, the presence of the itiattefc iff a highly heated condition beneath the surlase, and thirdly, the existence of great quantities of water imprisoned in the subterranean regions, which water, escaping as steam, gives rise to all those active pheudfb&ar WS ha e been deycriling. Regarding the first of the above three conditions of vol canio phenomena ?cracks Or fissures In the earth's crust ? Professor Judd has added largely to the existing knowledge on the subject. " Ttye rtiaterijSs ejected from volcanoes during an eruption are not, as many may think, a wholly useless collection of de bris. Ow the other hand, much of what is thta thrc.to'riViut Is 6t consid erable commercial valuo.

Jupiter and Saturn have not reached that old age to which the earth has come. They are already too vurm through their own internal heat to be suited to habita t on, und as for Venus and Mercury, from all we can learn they have more atmosphere thaa the earth has,' and for that reason are much too warm. They receive more heat from the sun and at the same time wear a thicker jacket. So that, as matters stand, all the platiE^exceutMarswould appear to be unMPiibtter Mum the earth.

Jack. became at tached to a servant girl who was owned by a man named Gates, one of the wealthiest men in Georgia, who owned thousands o& acres of land, and witb his family lived in lordly style. The servant girl was a bright mulatto and Jack was a shads darker. They made a match of it and were married under the order of things that existed In war times.

A tramp, who had neither overcoat nor uiKteV, and whose bare toes peeped through his boots, was making his way up the street in search of the right kind of a s do entrance, when he espied the dog and crossed over and said: " Wei!, now, this is an unexpected pleasure I Upon my soul, but I have found one living thing in this to\> .1 as poorly off as myself.

In a circle around the North pole, between the sixty third ana seventy-ninth parallels of latitude, are stationed twelve scientific observing parties, with ample supplies of food, clothing, etc., and the most per fect scientific instruments -that mod ern skill can produoe. They were car ried to their stations In the beginning U last fall, with portable dwelling houses and observatories, warm and snug, to be set up after they arrived. They are to be "left till called for,* which will not be until next Septem ber. There is also a cordon of similar stations, although not so numgceus, in the' Antarctlo regions, ar# oWerva torles and instruments bate been ; shipped to the missionaries in Labra- I dor, where there are now six amateur observing stations, and also to the j northern villages of Europe, America : and Asia. In each of these stations and also in | the principal observatories of tho world, once every hour, at the samo i Instant of time, the same scientific ob- ! servations are made and recorded: The variations in the electric currents and waves, the variations and appearance of the aurora borealis, the direction and force of wind, state of atmosphere, temperaturo of water, etc. One ob server will be in the cold and darkness of a polar night and another in the i fiery glare of a tropical noontide. I These observations all over the world, | faithfully recorded by enthusiastic lov- I ers of science for the space of a twelve- | month, will undoubtedly lead to the | discovery of many new laws governing ' natural forces.

The Man's Three t-riends. Mr. J. 8. Moore, better known as the "Parsee Merchant," tells in the New York Eie i\ny Post tho oriental fable of the man and his three friends. One was very dear to him, and for him ! he neglected his comfort f*nd his fam- ; iiy; the other was nlso dear, but there j ?was a marked difference between his j devotion to this friend and his zealous love for the lirst; to the third friend ; he was friendly but never went out of { his way to help him. ? Suddenly the , man was summoned to appear before the king to give an account of certain transactions. His first friend sat sul len and unmoved when the king's messenger bore the man away; the second went as far as the doors of the temple ot justice weeping and lament ing, but leaving hiin to his tuts on tho threshold. But to his astonishment the friend, on whose friendship he had placed little value, went with him before tho king and so eloquently plea led his virtues that the king looked mercifully on the man's mis deed* and forgave him. The first friend is a man's money, which he loves above all else, but which when . death, the king's messenger, summons him to the judgment, does not give hiin one word of comfort nor go with him an inch upon his journey. Th$ second trlend is his family, who, weep ing and lamenting, leave him at the tomb. The third l'rlend is his work of . charity, which goes with him beyond the grave and pleads for him in m ti gation of his offenses. 'J ho narrator thinks that in his latter years the late Mr. Wm. E. Dodge was moro devoted to his third friend (charity and go xl deeds) than to his first (richest, and, "passes away not only honored and | mourned by many thousands, but is a splendid example to those great mil lionaires whose sterility might well be improved by laying to heart the par able of the man and his three friends, and the good1! use Mr. Dodge made of his worldly stores." ,mt ? ? Saved by Sally* Not long since a young man In Car son got married and started for Cali fornia with his young wife. As he boarded the train his father bade him good-bye ahd gave him the paternal blessing. " My son," said the aged sire, shak ing with emotion, etc., " remember these words if you never see me again: ?Never go into a place where you would ncrt take your wife.' " The couple ' settled in Mariposa county, and last week the old man went down to visit them. He pro- j posed a bear hunt, and they were tot- 1 tunate enough to track a grizzly to his , lair among some of the boulders in the I ohapparal. As the two approached the | bear roused up and sent forth a growl , Of defiance which shook the trees. " Go in there ahd kill 'ltn,M said the old inan, excitedly. ?
