No thunder from tliu skies wns ever no oommnlod ly a mar of such vohomonco m thnt which issued front tho throat of tho frroiit Volcano In Krnkutoa, an Islet lying In tho straits (if Putidfi, between Puniiitro nnd Jnvn, nt 10 o'clock on Mondny morn injr, Aug. 87, 1888. As thnt drcndful Sunday night wore on tho noises Increased in Intensity nnd frequency. Tho explo sions succeeded ouch other so rapidly thnt a continuous ronr swiiicd to Issue from tho islnnd. Tho crltlonl moment wn now npproach iUK, the ouilironli wns preparing; for a mujcRtic culmination. Tlio peoplo of Iiu tnvln did not sleep thnt night. Tholr win dows quivered with tho thunders from Kruknton, which resounded like tho dis charge of urtillcry in their streets. Final ly, nt 10 o'clock on Monday morning, a (stupendous convulsion took phion, which for trnnscended nny of tho shocks which hud precedel it. This supremo effort It was which raised tho mightiest nolso over heard on this glohe. liatavla is H4 miles distant from Kraka ton. At Carlmon, Jnvn, 350 miles awny, reports were heard on that Sunday morn ing which led to tho belief thnt there must 1)0 Homo vessel in tho tllstanco which was discharging its guns ns signals of distress. Tho authorities sent out boats to muko a search. They presently returned, as no ship could be found in wont of succor. The reports wore sounds which luid oomo all tho way from Kruknton. At Mncnssnr, In Celebes, loud explosions attracted tho notice of everybody. Two steamers wero hastily sent out to find what wus tho mut ter. The sounds hnd traveled from the straits of S inula, n distance, of 009 miles. But inero hundreds of miles will not suffice to illustrate tho extraordinary distance to which tho greatest nolso that over was heard was ablo to peuetnito. The figures have to bo expressed In thousands. This seems almost Incredible, but It is certainly true. Iu tho Victoria plains, In West Aus tralia, the shepherds wero startled by noises llko heavy cannonndtng. It was some tlmo before thoy learned that their tranquillity had been disturbed by the grand events then proceeding nt Krnkntoa, 1,700 miles owny. Youth's Companion.

Some of the accidents thnt linvu occurred In tho oourso of tho manufacture and handling of such mntorlals nro as Interesting ns they aro shocking. Recently a man driving two horses to a wagon carrying 1,200 pounds of nitroglycerin met with somo accident and upset his load. Tho team, wagon nnd driver wero simply reduced to undiscovorablo atoms. A frngmont of the man's clothing, found over n mile from the scene of explosion, wns nil that oould be traced ns having belonged to a human being. lilts of tho horsos were found miles away, nnd some small p locos of the wood and metal of tho wagon. In tho adjacent fluids cattle were killed by the shock, and In towns around tho country horses run awny with fright, windows wero broken and buildings were shattered. Almost all of the window glass In tho houses for sev eral miles nround was broken, and a holo Was mndo In tho earth lit foot deep, 60 foot ucross nt tho top and 85 at tho bottom. When such explosions occur with tho en tirely uneonflned product, it is not dlfll cult to Imagine what might happen wero this dangerous compound shut In nnd cir cumscribed by rigid bounds.

It is straugo thnt tho authors who hnve written so much about luxury, whether they praise it satirically, or condemn It very seriously, or merely inquire Into its history nnd traditions, should never hnve been struck with tho amount of discom fort it entails.

An expert points out thnt while In the rnrly days of electric lighting people thought much Inoro of tho mere fact of hnvlng thoelrctrlc light thnnof the actual efficiency they derived from it, the consum er of today Is usually perfectly well able to tell Whet 1" ho 1m getting full value In light for tho money he is paying the cen tral station; so that between tho strict kjc actlon of tho customer nnd the competi tion of rival lighting systems nn electrin light company can only hopo to succeed by tho best possible service Thn whole subject of lighting is in n transition state. In factories and lnrgo shops thn praetleoof allowing tho rays of the am lamp to fall downward will proba bly soon be discarded. It Is found that, by Inverting tho lamp and throwing tho light to tho roof, which should be whitewashed or white) paintej, tho powerfully reflected rays aro so different throughout thn build ing as to give tho maximum olllc.icnoy without straining tho cvv. of tho work men. Much of tho present outdoor light ing Is condemned ns crudo and unsolon tiflo. Tho street nro lamps duzzlo and strain tho eye, throw sharp shadows and waste light. Tho next improvement will probably bo tho ftso of lower candle power lumps, plnced at shorter Intervals and having reflecting hoods. Tho bottom hnlf of tho glnlw will bo scmlopnquo and pos sibly tinted a deep orungo color. This would neutralize tho painful glaro of the aro lamp nnd glvo tho streets tho effect ot being Illuminated with Chtncso lanterns. In domestic lighting shades having prismatic corrugations on their surfaces nro coming Into vogue. They glvo n good diffusion of light, with but llttlo absorp tion. An authority on decorative lighting snysthat, although many new ideas have sprung tip in the distribution of masses of light in Interiors, none has yet superseded In beauty nud effectiveness tbo system ol putting lamps out of sight nnd lighting tho room entirely by diffused nnd possibly colored light. This will probably ho the method of illuminating churches in ths future. In churches whero It has already been adoptod tho effect is doHorlbtul us so Infinitely restful and appropriate that In oompnrlson the ordinary methods of church lighting seem garish and barbarous. Now York Times. SHYLOCK PROPITIATED. Itow Kdwln Ilootli's Cnmpnny fine Rrnlnd "The merchant of Venice,' Kdwln Booth told the following story: Oneo during tho days of his early strug gles, young Uooth was "barn storming" down In Virginia, nt a placo called Leo's Landing. Tho Improvised theater was n tobneco wnrehouse, and It wns crowded by tho planters for miles nround. Booth nnd his companions lind arranged to take thn weekly steamer expected lato that night, and between tho acts wero busy packing up. Tho play was "Tho Merchant of Ven ice," and they were Just going on for th trial soeno when they heard tho whistle, and tho manager enme running In to sny that tho steamer hnd arrived nnd would lenvo again In hnlf nn hi.ur. As thnt wn their only chance for a week of getting away they wero In a terriblo quandary. "If we explain matters," said tho man agor, "tho audlenco will think they art being cheated and wo shall have a fret fight. The only thing Is for you fellows tc got up somo sort of niituralllko impromptu ending for tho piece and ring down the ourtnin. Go right ahead, ladles and gen tlemen, and tako your cuo from Ned hero." And ho hurried awny to get the luggagt aboard. "Nod," of oourse, was Hooth, who re solved to rely upon tho ignoranco of the Virginians of thoso days to pull hliu through. So when old George Huggles, who was playing Shylock, began to sharp en his knifo on his boot Booth walked straight up to him and said solemnly, "You aro bound to have the flesh, nreyouf" "You bet your life," said Kuggles. "Now, I'll mako you one moro offer,' oontlnued Hooth. "In addition to thi bag of ducats I'll throw iu two kegs of nig gerheud terhac, n shotgun and a couple ol tho best coon dogs In tho state." "I'm blowed if I don't do It," responded Shylock, much to tho approbat ion of the audleuco, who wero tobucco rnisers and coon hunters to a man. "And to show thnt thero is no 111 feeling," put In Portia, "wo'll wind up with a Virginia reel." When tho compuny got nboard tho steam cr, the captain, who had witnessed tin conclusion of tho play, remarked: "I'd llko to see tho whole of thut play soim time, gentlemen. I'm blessed If I thought that fellow Shakespeare had so much sua; lu him." Life's Calendar. Why lie Kicked.

Superntltlmi and luck (lonn'p About Two Things Villi li ( omer n I n .Vnra Than We Aro WMUcft- to Admit nnd Which It Isn't Always roMlhlo to Heanon About. Thero Is now In England a publication known as Kudklel's Almanac, that has been for 40 yenrs a favorite In English households of tho fairly intelligent class, ns it Is too nbstruso for tho Ignornnt to undentand. Not less than 800,000 copies nro sold yearly, and this Is purely a history of tho coming year, based on tho researches of judicial astrology. These calculations are mndo by means ot the sun, moon and stars tho signs of tho zodiac and tho various aspects and re lations of the planets. In astrology na tions, llko Individuals, aro subject to and aro governed by tho planets. The greater part of Kngtnnd lies under the cardinal sign Aries, but Gemini rules tho went oi Knglaml and tho United Stutes. Some of Zadklel's predictions nro curi ous enough to pur..lo Intelligent persons. For Instance, in 1HS0 occurs this passage: "Shocks of earthquakes In the seventy seventh degToo of west longitude may be looked for. Great thunderstorms and Waves of intense beat will pass over the States. Thero will bo great excitement in America." In 188rt shock of enrthqunke reached North nnd South Carolina on the night of Aug. 81, between longitude 70 and 74 west, and tho heat wits intense, mnny lives bflng lost. In 1853 Zndklel put forth tho following prediction as to the future of Iouis Nnpo leon : "Let him not dream of lasting honors, power or prosperity. Ho shall found no dynnsty, he shall wear no durable crown, but lu tho midst of doeds of blood nnd slaughter, with affrighted Europe trem bling beneath tho weight of his during martial hosts, he descend.-! beneath the heavy hand of fato nnd falls to rise no more." It Is undoubtedly true that in three hor oscopes taken by different men entirely Independent of each other a bloody ending was predicted for tho emperor, hut only Zadklcl foretold tho extinction of the dy nasty. In tho horoscope of Lincoln nnd Garfield the malllle planets Mars nnd Saturn ruled their house of life. When their end enme, und In a marked degree the history and career of the Bourbon family corresponded with tho state of tho heavens at their bin lis, according to tho theories of astrol ogy. A belief thnt human events are affected by tho stars was accepted by mnny of tho ablest miud. Wallensteln died at tho very moment when ho thought tho danger past. He hud the astrologer's reading of tho stars in his hand us he was struck down. Goethe begins his autobiography with his "Nativity." "On thegmhof August, 1740, at mid day us tho clock struck 13, I camo into tho world at Fraukfort-ou-tho-Maiu. My hor oscope was propitious. Tho sun stood in tho signs of tho Virgin and hnd culminat ed for the day. Jupiter and Venus looked on him with a friendly eye, And Mercury not adversely, while Saturn and Mars kept themselves Indifferent. Tho moon ulouo, Just full, exerted tho power of her reflec tion all the more, as slip had then reached her planetary hour, who opposed herself therefore to my birth, which could not bo accomplished until tho hour was passed. Theso gotid aspects, which the astrologer managed subsequently to reckon very nu spiclous for mo, may hnvo been tho cnusa of my preservation, for through the un kindness of the midwife I camo into the world ns dead, and only after vurious efforts was I enabled to see the light." But this, of course, is dry humor. In ull horoscopes the happy lifo and for tuno of tho subject depends mainly on tho friendly aspects of Venus nnd Jupiter, while tho signs of tho Kodluo give strength und disposition. Tho writer enu recall hero in this city a remarkable case in which tho nativity of two people was taken and tho curious re sult thut followed. About 1HU8 a man named HAguo practiced astrology in this city. Ho wns a man of learning and much respected, having many distinguished peo ple for his patrons. He made tho nativity for two infants, cousins, nnd although the tlmo of tholr birth varlod only olght hours their destinies wero widely divided. One promised to Imii favorite of fortune, the other's fato wns marked by trouble, ap parently coming about his majority. One prospered us soon ns ho entered life; tha other was wild and reckless, went to Cali fornia and fell in a brawl lu his twenty second year, but ho was, curiously enough, tho ouo on whoso birth fortune was pre sumed to shine, and his cousin falsillod his sinister predictions by prospering be yond tho usual lot of man. Thero Is scarcely an Intelligent human being who does not recognize tho element called "luck" lu shaping our destinies. Thero is u family In Philadelphia thut has boon rich etuco 1S10, and tho third generation Is now bnsklng in luxuries won for them by a "fluke" as pronounced as winning in tho lottery. There was n firm hero of three partners, doing a huge western buslines. Two of them were ex cellent business men, tho other a mom dead weight, and his partners resolved to get rid of him. So thoy dissolved tho firm, and taking tho cash and bills receivable made him take his share in 100 acres of laud lu tho northern part of tho town site of Cincinnati. Ho kicked, hut was bullied Into compliunco. So they made a new partnership, wont on getting richer and richer, while the other partner wus mak ing a poor living trucking on his city land. Then times changed. Lots in Cin cinnati began to sell; the rich partners failed and died poor, while their victim grew Into a millionaire. No forethought or sagacity oould have under tho circum stances bmaght about such a result. A Inrt of Windmills.
