Juimneso Firemen. Bays fiu English periodical in a graphics sooonat of Japanese firemen and the methods employed by them in extinguishing fires : It was a big fire there was no doubt about it. In Con fttnntinople and New York, fairly big events of this sort occasionally occur, and are made much of, but to see King Fire in nil his awful power and glory, Japan should be visited. Although we had been pretty prompt in obeying the alarm bell, we found that the 'fire had already made considerable progress, and at first, unprotected as we were by helmets or hoods, we found it difllcul't even to look at the raging scene before us. All we could make out was a vast expanse of dancing flame, intersected by Iets of smoke, and the black outlines of mrned or burning buildings. By de grees we became accustomed, and we saw our brigade double up iuto action, place the eugiue in position, squirt at the flumes, which Beemed to have the most undisputed mastery everywhere, and send forward the hook and ladder men reckless fellows, who seemed to have the utmost contempt for flames and falliug timber, and" wh went into the danger as if they were going to a wedding. To us, accustomed to the stern, silent, business-like manner of the London firemen, there was something savoring of burlesque in the efforts of these Yeddo brigades to combat the flames. The general effect was that of what is known as a pantomine "rally" every one howling, shouting, running to and fro, and upsetting one another, amid a shower of beams, tiles, and arti cles of furniture, without any apparent order or method. There was a great deal of movement and a great deal of uproar, and, during the whole perform ance, the flames seemed to wander just where they pleased, singeing here, blistering there, but, as a rule, com pletely gutting what they came in con tact with. Meanwhile, our engine had come to utter grief. But this, to our eyes, was of very little consequence, as it had Berved simply to dampen the jackets of the firemen ; so it was re moved, and all the energies of the bri gade were devoted to the object of pre venting the spread of the fire by the whole demolition of houses. With this object in view the hook and ladder men were sent forward iuto the houses which were more immediately threatened with destruction, while the battering rams huge piles of wood with tremendous iron forks at the ends were run tip under the charge of the most stalwart coolies of the brigade. The captain, armed with a huge standard, was sitting straddle-legged on the roof of a house. and by his movements those of the bri gade were directed. Until he retreated . not a man dared to dream of yielding an inch, and wo trembled for the safety of our nne old friend as we saw him ap parentiy alone in a blaze oi flame, or half hidden in the dense volumes of smoke, which rose from the burning masses on all sides of him. And here we may remark that although the disci pline of the brigades, their methods of procedure, and their total unbusiness like air of doing everything were to be condemned in toto, too high praise cannot be bestowed on the individual pluck and agility of the members. We in Europe are now familiar with the ex traordinary feats of Japanese acrobats. but to see this skill and agility put to a practical aBe one should "assist" at a Yeddo fire. When the word is given for the hook and ladder men to go into action, it is a treat to see some score of muscular, active-limbed young fellows, not one of whom pauses a moment to look at the danger into which he is going headlong, dash into the houses already tottering to their fall, swarm on the roofs, swing from rafter to rafter, struggle up almost perpendicular slopes of loose tiles, often with a rope in their months, jump over yawning chasms of flame as if they were two-foot ditches, fasten the grapples to the blazing timbers, jump down and signal an " all right " to a gang of coolies below, who are hanging to the chain or rope. The wall totters backward and forward tor a minute, but extra mettle is put into a filial pull, and down comes the whole blazing side of a house, burvinsr half-a- dozen firemen, sending up a huge pillar of smoke nud spmks to the sky, and calling forth a tremendous yell from the admiring crowd. Scarcely has it fa'h'n when a dozen active fellows are hard at work with their fire-hooks. From under one heap of timbers jump out two or three of the hook and ladder men, who rub their bruises and laugh frantically. Out of a cavern of smouldering ashes crawls another, with an arm broken ; while from the innermost recesses are pulled out two or three poor, blackened, mutilated remains of what were a few minutes back rollicking fellows in the prime and strength of manhood. These last are gently carried off on shutters and to-morrow will be followed to their lust resting-place under the cryptomer ias and azaleas on the hillside yonder by a crowd of relations and comrades, proud in the midst of their sorrow of the deaths met with in the public cause. A Buried Town Brought to Light. An interesting areheeological discovery has just been made in Italy that of a buried town, a new Pompeii, unexpect edly found near Manfredonia, at the foot of Mount Gargano. A temple of Diana was hrst brought to light, and then a portico about twenty metres in length, with columns without capitals, and, finally, a necropolis covering 15,000 squre metres (about three and three quarter acres). A large number of in scriptions have been oolleoted, and some of them have been sent to the museum at Naples. The town discovered is the ancient Sipontum of which Strabo, Potybeus and Livy speak, and whioh was buried by an earthquake. The houses are twenty feet below the surface of the soil. The Italian government has taken measures to continue the excavations on a large scale. Every day some fresh -ebjest- of interest turns up. The latest is a monument erected in honor of Pompey after his victory over the pirates, and a large quantity of coins 10 gold and copper. "Blood Rain." The cause of red, or blood rain, is due to the presence of earthly substances which have been carried up by winds, mingled with and borne along by the clouds and currents of air, and fall with the rain when condensation reaohes the point when the moisture is precipitated. Many of these occurrences are on record. ! In the full of 1816 such a rain fell in the south of France, which upon analysis, showed seventy-three organic formations that were peculiar to South America, proving that the coloring matter of the ruin must have oome from this continent, and been carried across the Atlantic. These showers are not unoomcon. An extensive one is reported in 1862, ex tending from Paris to Newfoundland; another in 1863, and a very remarkable one March 10, 1869. They are more oominon in Europe than iu this country, and amok of tho coloring matter comes from the &m't of Kalian, OIIEAT PEEK SL11ER9. A Man: who haa Killed On Thonaand Prer The Death ef Oreeley. The Port of Pittsburg, Pa., says s One of the prinoipal deer slayers in Pennsylvania is Andrew Stiner, of My erstown, Lebanon county. For nearly forty years Stiner has camped out in the Allegheny mountains during the season for killing the deer, nud many are the stones he can relate of his exciting chaRe or patient watch in the stillness of the woods, miles awny from human habita tion. In the early times Stiuer's uucle settled in the neighborhood of Benning ton Furnace, now on the line of the Pennsylvania railroad, between Altoona and the big tunnel, and it was while visiting the old uucle that Andrew got a fondness for deer hunting, which iu his after years has been his only amusement. For the last twenty years Stiuer's stalking ground has been in the head waters of the Big nnd Black Moshanon, in Center and Clearfield counties. His companions have boen.formnny seasons, three men of that neighborhood, who are familiar with oil the spurs and creeks of that mountainous region. Jacob Test, John Funk and William Beam have camped out with Stiner evory season since 185C. Beam lives at ' Osceola, Clearfield county, and Test and Funk near Tyone. These men mark the crossings of tho deer through the sum mer, his retreats and feeding grounds. They put up a cabin near those places, and prepare the bunks aud cooking ar rangements. Then Stiner is sent for. He oomes with the ammunition.blankets, gum boots, nnd such other nrticles as are essential to a lumberman's life, for his three friends are loggers by occupa tion, and the annual hunt is not the sole occupation of their lives. They take out a supply of provisions, and, with well-filled straw bunks in a dry shanty, plenty of robes aud blankets, and a good stove, they fix themselves nicely. For several years their cabin has been six teen miles from Phillipsburg toward the Snow-shoe mountains. Last year Stiner brought back with him from that locality to Eyerstown an express car load of venison. Beam has himself killed over one thousand, aud it is said that Jacob Test and Funk are not far behind him. Last year an immense seven-pronged buck baffled every attempt to bring him down. It became a regular saying that they were going out to kill Greeley, for such they have named this unusually large deer. Stiner and Ream got after him. There was a light sift of snow upon the ground, just enough to trace the blood drops of a wounded buck or doe, and they started early to the crossings. These men, from long experience, be come very familiar with the habits and haunts of the deer, aud know the par ticular kinds of weather in which they seek the hill tops, or when they go down into gorges of the mountain. Fully three days before a heavy snow storm the deer all quit the mountain tops and seek the big laurel swamps for food and shelter until the storm is over. After it has passed, if the weather gets colder, they leave the swamps and take to the high ridges of the mountain. Their sense of smell and of hearing is very acute. They must be approached against the wind ; the hunter must face the blast in his travels after deer, or he never will as much as get a sight at one. The deer cannot see any distance, and on rainy days, when the leaves are wet, you may often approach within a few yards of them without being observed. Indeed this Stiner party have, on damp days, wheu the leaves are so wet that the sound of every footstep would be dead ened, approached within twenty feet of the largest bucks before they took the alarm, which in those cases were of short duration. For the aim of the trusty rifle was a true as its fire was deadly. The day that Stiner and Ream shot the big seven-pronged buck Greeley they had started for him early. Late in the afternoon as Stiner was standing watch at the door of the deer crossings, he saw Greeley coming full tilt toward him. Stiner and Ream were close to gether on Black Bear Run, and distant abont ten miles from their cabin. Sti ner gave him a shot, but the deer in creased its speed, and leaped the creek, which at that place was twenty feet wide, at one bound. Ream hearing the sound of Stiuer's rifle, came up, only to be told that he had missed Greeley, but upon the examination of the ground it was discovered that Greeley had been wounded, and it was determined that Ream, who could run all day like a hound, should follow up the trail. He had not gone twenty steps when he came across the big buck, which hud been pierced through the heart. It was eight years old, and weighed 260 pounds when dressed. These old deer hunters have a great aversion to the big fox hound in chas ing deer. Nearly all the old hunters use the half hound dog. These dogs cannot run a deer more than two hours, and serve as signals when the deer have been found. The deer are said to be on the increase in the mountains of Penn sylvania this year. Spider and Moths in California. Did i1' ever occur to anybody, in quires tie Stockton Independent, that California has a decided superfluity of spiders, not to mention other disagreea ble in se its ? And they are the most in defatigable creatures on the face of the earth. From morning till night, and from one year's end to another, they go on spinning their intricate webs in every nook and corner, on every tree, shrub and leaf, festooning the fences, enshrouding the barns, . covering the houses, with their net work. Occa sionally you will see a tree that stands in some sheltered spot where the spiders are undisturbed by the winds or by hu man intruders, and there you will find the work of these omnipresent insects in its completest form. It would seem that the fairies had thrown around it an en chanted gossamer mantle. From top to bottom it is one intricate net work. The imprisoned, smothered leaves seem to be struggling to get out of the remorse less grasp of their liliputian captors. After the spiders oomes the California dust, the inevitable dust of summer, lodging thickly in every cobweb, and making the poor, struggling trees look as though mourning in sackcloth and ashes for their friends, the long-delaying raindrops, that seem never to come. The work of the dust and the spiders gives the California vegetation in sum mer an air of uninviting desolation. Even the fairest orchards are thus clothed. We know of no characteristic of California more disagreeable than her superabundance of spiders. And what a country for moths I Eastern house keepers who oome here unwarned, too often take their best clothes from trunks and closeta riddled and ruined by moths. The climate that ia so conducive to the growth of marvelous fruits, vegeta bles, grasses, and cereals, is likewise favorable to the existence of the most disagreeable insects. These are) some of our drawbacks, to gejjomed. uieu tioueil, perhaps, The Heroism of Washington. A careful study of the history of Valley Forge cannot be too earnestly recommended to all who would fully comprehend the greatness of the char acter of Washington. At no other Eeriod of the war does it seem so purely eroic, and at no other time does the patriot cause appear to have been in equal danger of ruin. To this day it seems a miracle Hint the little army was kept together at all. He gave forty-five years to the service of his country, bnt in what year of them all did he do so much to save and to establish it ? Su perior to evil fortune, stronger than the elements, and wiser than all the dele gated wisdom of the colonies, hardly knowing in whom he might confide or what professed friend might prove a virulent foe, his military genius under valued and maligned by men who were unworthy to hold his stirrup, he seems never to have lost either his equanimity or his hope. Contrast Washington at Valley Forge, his naked little band shivering around him, with Napoleon sellishly flying from the wreck of the most magnificent army which ever trod the plains of Europe. We feel, as we contemplate the spectacle, that Wash ington was "all in all to the cause." Any other man might have destroyed it by presumptuous ambition, by an over estimate of his own ability, or, on the other hand, by a natural incapacity to manage tho peculiar resources confided to him. It may be truly said that no historical character has so grown in the estimation of mankind. There are other revolutionary personages who are still remembered freshly, in whom we see faults aud even weaknesses. From these, Washington was not utterly free, for he was human; but con another be found who erred so seldom, who discov ered and repaired his error so promptly, who was so wise and yet so simple who was so utterly incapable of submitting to defeat while even a desperate chance of success remained, or who did the work which his hands found to do, despite in numerable obstructions and difficulties, so persistently and so thoroughly? Neto York Tribune, Burning Diamonds. In the year 1694 it was discovered by actual experiment, at Florence, that a diamond would burn. Cosmo III. had one fixed iu the focus of a burning glass, and, after some exposure to th rays of the sun, it cracked, oorruHcated,. and finally disappeared like a ghost leaving no traces behind. Experiments of this kind were costly. They were long in yielding any scientific results. It was only a sovereign prince who could afford to see his jewels vanish like the gifts of a fairy godmother. Another poteutate, the Emperor Francis I., tried a number of valuable diamonds in the heat of a smelting-f urnace, and may have felt some gratification in finding they had disappeared. This was in 1750, and about twenty years later a magnifi cent diamond was Durned in France. A jeweler named Le Blanc denied the possibility of burning diamonds, and suspected some unfair play on tho part of Macqner, the chemist who conducted the operation. He had often, he assert ed, exposed diamonds to great heat with the sole result of increasing their brilliancy. Mr. Streeter has done the same, with success But Le Blano only knew half of what Mr. Streeter knows, and when the chemists demanded that he should enclose some diamonds in coal in a crucible, he rashly assented, and in three hours they had all disap peared. Then another jeweler, Mail lard by name, who seems to have had a suspicion of the scientific truth, put three diamonds into an earthern bowl pipe, packed in powdered charcoal, and exposed them without injury to intense heat. Lavoisier, who was present, proved in 1776 that by shutting out the air the diamond was preserved in a furnace, but that the admission of oxygen, with which the carbon combines, allows the diamond to burn like a piece of coal.

The remedy usually sought is worse than the disease. Thoughtless young women living in houses having furnaces standover the recruiter: the older ones sit down and put their feet over it; those having fire places and stoves draw up a chair and "toast their feet:" aud there are those who resort to hot water. If anv one wisheu to produce a condition of chronio cold feet no better means can be n wad than subiectinar the feet to freauent warming at registers, stoves, fire places and in warm water.
