By the arrival of the Kinan this Illuming the news has been received of the overflow of the volcano of Kil alien. The following details tire ob tained from Philip Peck, the Hotel atrcet importer, who visited the vol cano on Friday hist in company with Superintendent of Public Works V. K. Howell : The volcnuo has been constantly increasing in activity fur a week past, aud was particularly lively ou Thurs day evening, when aa many as tlfteen miiguillecnt fountains of Hre were sent up at one time from the bubbling and seething mass. These fiery columns were an high as to be aeen from the veranda at the Volcano House, two miles distant. The Hi'ght from that place on Thursday night was inde acribaly grand, and is said never to have been equalled iu former years. fin Friday evening, when Messrs. Peck and Howell made their visit, the fountains were still playing, but were not bo high or large as on the previous uight. Both gentlemen went to the very edge of the burning lake, which at that time was mure thau full, the molten lava in the center was fully two feet higher than at the edges. Mr. Peck described the immense lake as being in a similar state to aglaas of water which is more thau full aud yet docs uot overflow. At times the burning muss would slop over in places ami flow into the main pit ten or fifteen feet below, but a new crust would soon form and tho flow atop. Mr. Howell had a narrow escape from one of these auddcu over flows, but got ont of the way in time. Both gent lemon apeak of the hoeno as most mnguillcetit aud iudesoribnblo iu its grandeur. Ou Haturday night the volcano was iu the same condition as tho previous one, but lava commenced to overflow iu a steady stream. On Sunday about 7 p. m., tho entire walls fell in, mid the hike itself has Hpread out to the full extent of the pit, nud now forms a molten mass about one-half by one third of a mile iu extent. After the breakdown the lava was very active, the fountains aud columns being more violent than ever. Tho view from tho hotel was then marvellous. From another source it is learned that a sharp hIiocIi of cartlupinke was felt at the volcano Sunday night, nud more or less throughout the entire island, although at Hilo it was scarce ly perceptible. Hawaiian Star, How It Feels In lie Blown I'p. There is one man in this country who cau tell better than auy other bow it feels to be blown up, aud tbat'a John Curtiu, Jr., who waa nearly killed iu the dynamiting of biatatber'a boarding-bouse iuHau Frauuiaoo, and who thus describe hi leusatious: "You aee it'a so auddeu. It's over just about the time you begin to under- ataud that something la happening. You know, I bad the satchel in my hand, and had put it down. Then I got afraid of it. All at once every thing waa light. I dou't think I aaw the flash. Anyway, my faco was not exactly toward the explosion. But thfti everything got llghl, lighter than day kind of blinding. There waa au awful crash. It waa just at the same time, I waa scared, of course, and wanted to get away. It was just as if I was having the nightmare. "Homo way, though, I knew just what the mutter was. A man can think faster than he has any idea of. I knew that some of the others were m ar the exclusion, and I said to myself: 'They're blown overboard, sure.' You undetst ind, this was all iu n, aecoudi all nt once renllv. "Then it was exactly the same as if I had been hit with n club. I thought it was a big club, bigger than any mull could swing, mid that it must be worked by machinery. It hit me on the head and all over. I went sailing into tin) air a long, lung way. My ears roared und the wind blew into my face, "I knew when I struck the ground, fur I remember saying to myself, 'Well, I'm done fur.' I don't know just when I lust my right senses or w hen they came back ; but when they did como back it seemed queer that I was there yet. I thought i had been thrown somewhere else. I could feel Hre burning near me. It was my clothes. They were smuking and al must bhiiug. I was lame all over, and could not hear very well. My voice sounded like snuii'budy else was talking. That is all I cau toll you about it." Fake Hypnotism. Here is one of Dr. Valentine's sto ries to illustrate tho doubtful charac ter of alleged hypnotic exhibitions: A Hiissian hypnotixer had nil excellent ly trained subject whom be placed with another iu an imaginary boat. This tho "operator" upset, leaving the "subjects" to swim for their lives or drowiion the dry floor. One of the "subjects" was taken with a cramp, "Help!" he screnmed, "don't let mo drow u, Jimmy." "Everyone fur himself," returned Jimmy, "bad luck take the hindmost," and continued to strike out vigorous l.v. Tho drowning subject grasped his comrade's hair and clung toit w ith the desperation of death. Then tho inter esting struggle was interrupted by vig orous blows of a stout caue upon tho body of "Jimmy." "You young acuiiiidrcl !" exclaimed a aturdy workingman, who proved to be this subject's father, "is this what I educated you for? Is this working at your trade as a decent carpenter?" He grasped his promising offspring by the car and led him from the ruonn without being dehypiiotied and cer tainly looking very sheepish. St. Louis Globe-Democrat.

Seventy and one half millions ol acres of maie are grown yearly iu the United Sf:it"s, mostly for tlio grain, but the curing of th fodder is also bit-reusing. Fiviling experiments con dueled by II. J. Patterson, of the Mnryhiiid station, show that all parts of t!ie com plant contain valuable food materials, the dry matter having nearly the same composition. The corn stalks mid husks contain sixty per rent, of the total digestiblo mas ter produced by the plant, tho bliidis eleven per cent., mid the ears twenty nine per cent. The corn fodder from one acre produced as much digestible matter as two tuns of tiinotUv bay, and more food than was contained in the com ears from the same acre. The husks contain seventy-two per Cent, of digestible mutter; the stalks, sixty-six ami one-half per cent. ; the blades, Mty-fuur nud oiie-flfth per cent, i mid the topped stover fifty-live per cent., all of which furnish a food rich in digestible carbohydrates.

The early sowing of seed may be greatly hastened by this timely preparation. Tho laud will be much benefited by the exposure to the frost nud tho at mosphere during the winter. It will be broken dow u and pulverized and reduced to au almost inconceivable fineness in this way. thus rendering a noteworthy portion of it available as a source of plant food. The first crupa may bo sow n several days earlier by the preparation thus made, and this earliness is often equivalent to the saving of the oat crop. For barlev it is equally serviceable, for every expe rienced barley grower knows how much tho mellowness of the laud has to do with the successful growth of this crop. Indeed, it is tho sumo for oil or any crop. Time taken by the forelock in this way is worth a great deal to the farmer, and tho opportu nity of securing tbcae advantages should not be lost. Fall-plowed land, especially if it is at all heavy and clayey, may be seeded without spring-plow iug by means of n thorough harrowing with any of the coulter harrows, the actiou of which is iu effect much like that of a plow, cutting the soil aud turning it to a sufficient depth to cover the seed. This baa been done some year during February or March, when the oat Bow ing ba been done and finished loug before the laud could be turned by a plow.
