C., MONDAY, JANUARY 27, 1896.<lb /><lb />EUROPEAN LETTER.<lb /><lb />A Lady Visits Vesuvius and Tells<lb />How it Impressed Her.<lb /><lb />(From our special correspondent. )<lb />Naples, ITALY, Jany. 10, 1896.<lb /><lb />We hve returned soaked and dis-.<lb />appointed from Vesuvius. Our clothes<lb />and our tempers have been ruined ;<lb />Cook the excursion fiend has fallen in<lb />{our estimation and Vesuvins is simply<lb /><lb />sumed a brighter hue through the me-<lb />dium of an omelette and steak we start-<lb />ed up the mountain again. The road is<lb />almost perpendicular and one feels<lb />much more as if the ascent were being<lb />made in an elevator than on a raij,<lb />track. It is called a funiculaire, but is<lb />really a cable with double tracks and | ig<lb />the cars are balanced so they pass each | 3g¢<lb />other midway of the distance. On |%<lb />either side are the great fields of lava |<lb />; and ashes, the former of course, now | %<lb />beneath our notice. We went to the i ac<lb />. , cooled and in the most fantastic shapes, | ¥<lb />crater in a rain that was sufficient to],<lb />in which. as in clouds, one. sees most<lb />have put out the volcano.

He thinks<lb />it extravagant to pay $14 for a<lb />suit of our Clothes when $13 will<lb />buy asuit somewhere else. He<lb />forgets thatthe $13 suit won't<lb />last very long or look very well.<lb /><lb />At the top of the funiculaire we were | #<lb />met by a new relay of guides who took | 4<lb />off their big coats and wrapped them |<lb />about the drenched women in the par- | 4�,�¢<lb />ty.

At last<lb />we reached the open country and while<lb />the clouds gathered overhead our spirits<lb />were kept up by a band of strolling<lb />musicians who walked along by the<lb />carriage and sang oSanta Lucia� and<lb />other delightful Italian songs, varying<lb />them occasionally with oDaisy Bell� in<lb /><lb />_, honor of our nationality and seemitig<lb />é / ry Liki<lb /><lb />oCENTS FURNISHING 0s<lb />are going low down to<lb />make room for my<lb />large spring<lb />stock.<lb />"(:0:)"<lb /><lb />No reasonable price<lb />refused.

We stopped ata little<lb />mountain inn where our honest driver,<lb />who probably shared profits with the<lb />proprietor, told us we could get the<lb />best wine in all Italy. At the next<lb />stop we left the carriage and mounted<lb />donkeys to cross the lava fields. At<lb />this moment natureTs feelings overcame<lb />her and as if in anticipation of the fate<lb />that awaited us, began to weep. Every-<lb />one commented gleefully on the fact<lb />and we mounted the diabolical beasts,<lb />as premier Olliver said when the French<lb />started to Berlin with olight hearts.�<lb />When we reached that spot on our<lb />return we had seen, Vesuvius but a<lb />strange silence had fallén on all the<lb />party, and those who found voice at all<lb />litted it in declaring that hence forth<lb />their mission would. be to dissuade oth:<lb />ers from the ascent of the volcano.<lb /><lb />tween all the members of the company<lb />and eyes that looked love at the be-<lb />ginning of the trip were now singularly<lb />mexpressive behind straightened bangs,<lb />and under dripping hats,<lb /><lb />Probably the donkeys were no worse<lb />than ather donkeys, but the road they<lb />had to travel was but a rough path<lb />and it seemed to me.that any selt-re-<lb />specting donkey would not have taken<lb />advantage of so many rock4in the road<lb />for purpose of stumbling as these in-<lb />nocent looking animals did. ~The sad-<lb />dles{were not fustened securely and the<lb />guides, one of whom accompanied cach<lb />rider and shouted dreadful threats to<lb />the donkeys, were expected to hold the<lb />saddle on. When the donkey fell<lb /><lb />An incompatibility had sprung up be-|-.<lb /><lb />down, the saddle slipped forward and<lb />cuffed the animal on the head. When<lb />lhe went up a hill it ~settled insccurely<lb /><lb />the crater.<lb /><lb />shsulder told us to hold it tight and<lb /><lb />far at first, but later sympathy is lost<lb /><lb />being pulled bodily up the hill through<lb />the deep ashes. The crater was point-<lb />ed out to us and we were warned not<lb />to go too close, but we saw nothing but<lb />a place a little more foggy than the<lb />dense mist covering the mountain, we<lb />saw the running lava which looked<lb />temptingly warm, and the sulphur<lb />which was a bright yellow and smelled<lb />like a match factory. Descending the<lb />hill again to the funiculaire, the ladies<lb />hung limply on the arms of the guides<lb /><lb />and regardless of best shoes, and silk<lb />underskirts, suffered themselves to be<lb /><lb />dragged through the tine, grey ashes,<lb />too weary and wet to protest.<lb /><lb />At the lewer station a stop of seve-<lb />ral hours was made in anticipation of a<lb />clearing up of the weather, a hope that<lb />proved to be vain however. During<lb />this time the registry albuin, a rae<lb />blank book in which tourists may - find<lb />a place to relieve their feelings, fur-<lb />nished us diversion.

One<lb />of the well-known ~pear! hunters told<lb />the writer that he had found several<lb />pearls during the past summer that<lb />were worth $75 to $100 each, and a large<lb />lot of smaller and cheaper ones.<lb /><lb />The leading pearl hunters, who pros-<lb />pect up and down the Cumberland, send<lb />their pearls to Chicago, Philadelphia<lb />and New York, Tiffany getting the best<lb />of them. Several years ago an old man<lb />»ieked up a mussel from a sandbar in.<lb />the Cumberland river near Point Burn-<lb />side, a station on the Cincinnati South-<lb />crn railroad, and upon opening the<lb />oyster-like bivalve found a magnificent<lb />pearl of fine size and color. A pearl<lb />hunter who ran across the old man<lb />shortly afterward, and to whom he<lb />showed the gem, at once recognized the<lb />value of it, and beught it for a trifling<lb />sum, afterward selling it for $500.<lb />Such finds as this, however, are few and<lb />far between.<lb /><lb />_The pearl hunters work whenever the<lb />water is not too cold for them to wade<lb />in it. They find the mussels lying on<lb />the sandbars, pick them up, and prying<lb />them open, ofeel� for the pearl, and if<lb />there is no pearl drop the mussel back<lb />into its place in the river. The pearl<lb />is found clinging to the wall of the mus-<lb />selTs shell, and close to the mouth of it.<lb />The large majority of the pearls, as a<lb />matter of course, are oddly shaped and<lb />irregular in form, and for that reason<lb />are worthless.T Now and then pearls of<lb />beautiful color are found, but useless<lb />because of a lack of desirable form.<lb />The round pearls, usually found and<lb />put upon the market by these wander-<lb />ing pearl hunters, vary in size from the<lb />dimensions of the head of a pin to the<lb />size of a pea, and bring from 50 cents to<lb /><lb />PIECE OF A MAMMOTH.<lb /><lb />A Valuable Relic in the Smith-<lb />sonian Institution.<lb /><lb />It Is Only s Bit of Fat from the Body<lb />of an Animal That Has Been<lb />Dead for Thousands<lb />of Years.<lb /><lb />Dr. Dall, of the Smithsonian institu-<lb />tion, during his recent visit to Alaska<lb />secured a natural history specimen that<lb />was a prize indeed. It was a bit of mam-<lb />moth fat, from the actual adipose tissue<lb />~of an animal that had been dead for tens<lb />of thousands of years. ;<lb />Bodies of mammoths in a fresh state<lb />have been dug up from time to time in<lb />arctic Siberia, preserved in natural cold<lb />storage since a period probably ante-<lb />dating the first appearance of man on<lb />the earth. That is an old story; but<lb />this is the first known instance in which<lb />the soft parts of a beast of this species<lb />have been found on the American conti-<lb />nent. It is easy to imagine the scien-<lb />tific interest attaching to the discovery.<lb />Ages ago this mammoth died, under<lb />such circumstances that his corpus was<lb />buried in mud. At about that time<lb />there was a great and permanent<lb />change in the temperature of circum-<lb />polar regions. .The climate had been<lb />subtropical; . it suddenly became frigid.<lb />The mammoths were literally ofrozen<lb />out,� the last of the species perishing of<lb />cold. This particular individual, frozen<lb />ip a bank of clay, had every prospect of<lb />okeeping� for an indefinite period.<lb />Hundreds of centuries later a stream<lb />flowing through an Alaskan valley<lb />tackled the clay bank referred to and<lb />began to cut it away, At length some<lb />big bones stuck out, and a native of ex-<lb />ceptional courage dug out one or two<lb />of them. This required more of that<lb />quality known in civilized countries as<lb />onerve� than might be imagined, for<lb />strange monsters, however long they<lb />may have been dead, are regarded with<lb />superstitious awe by savuyes.<lb />However, the natives tinally sum-<lb />moned courage enough to drag the re-<lb />mains of the mammoth out of the clay<lb />bank piecemeal. The body of the ani-<lb />inal had been preserved so well that a<lb />fairly perfect cast of it was found in the<lb />inatrix. A quantity of fat, which over-<lb />lay the intestines, was obtained and was<lb />used for greasing boats. Dr. Dall se-<lb />cured a piece of it, and fetched it back<lb /><lb />S40 apiece,<lb />tark, however.<lb /><lb />ohe pent! hunter who searches tho,<lb />~entuehy streams is usually a shift-<lb /><lb />i. cas.-going fellow, who is at home<lb /><lb />| nas. any place, and makes his bed<lb /><lb />u20n the banks of the stream as readily<lb />is he would in the most elaborately<lb />furaished mansion. When he has good<lb />luck on a trip he waits until all of his<lb />inoney is gone before he strikes ont<lb />upon another journey. Now and then<lb />a more businesslike operator is found,<lb />who will carry a camping outfit, good<lb />tent, etc., and live in true sportianan-<lb />like style while at work.<lb /><lb />The pearl hunters say that one rea-<lb />son why the streams of Kentucky are<lb />nore productive of pearls than the<lb />rivers in some other states is because<lb />of the limestone bedrock, which seems<lb />more adapted to the purposes of the<lb />pearl-bearing mussels than the forma-<lb />{ions underlying many streams in<lb />other sections of the country. Pearl<lb />mussels are, therefore, found in nearl<lb />every waterway in the blue grass state,<lb />but for some reason only a compara-<lb />tively small number of men are. en-<lb />gaged in the hunting of them, which<lb />frequently pays a great deal better<lb />than most any other form of common<lb />labor. The excitement and anticipa-<lb />tion attendant upen the industry, too,<lb />has something of the effect of the fas-<lb />cination of the diamond fields, for the<lb />onext one� is always expected to be a<lb />$500 beauty. One of the most valuable<lb />pearls ever found in-the United States,<lb /><lb />the pearl hunters say, came from theT<lb /><lb />Miami river, in Ohio,"St. Louis Globe-<lb />Democrat.<lb /><lb />' ° Has Done with Pigeonholes.<lb /><lb />An Inquirer man called on the head<lb />of a big business house and found him-<lb />self seated at a roll-top desk which was<lb />absolutely clear of papers. oITm glad<lb />to find your desk clear,� the newspaper<lb />man remarked; oyou will have plenty<lb />of time to talk to me.� oYes, ITve<lb />cleared up everything for the day,� wasT<lb />the reply, oand have determined to do<lb />away altogether with this desk. I<lb />haven't time for detsils or pigeonholes,<lb />and have ordered a glass-top flat desk,<lb />on which*l will handle thé mail-as I al-<lb />ways here. But every matter is event-<lb />ually to be attended to by some one in<lb />the establishment, and as I read I turn<lb />the communications to thé man who will<lb />look ~after them. By this means J am<lb />almost at liberty to give my attention<lb /><lb />to the 101 questions srhich ~arise: ina)<lb /><lb />day's business, and which are submitted<lb />tu me for final settlement. That glass-<lb />topped desk without pigeonholes ought<lb />to be worthT five years of life to me." "<lb /><lb />Keen Senses in Lower Animals.<lb />Experiments, indicate that spiders<lb /><lb />| have a long range of vision.

Lueas, at the Nationa: iiuscuin, 1s &amp;<lb />nadiinothTs molar tooth, to which ap<lb />odd story isattached., It was got from a<lb />spring at Paso Verde, in the country of<lb />the Papago Indians, Ever so many cen-<lb />turies ago a mammoth in its dying ag-<lb />onies sought that spring for water and<lb />fell into it, too weak toclimb out. There<lb />its bones remain to this day, and the<lb />Indians believe that, if they were re-<lb />moved, the spring would dry up. Of<lb />course, such an event in that region<lb />means the destruction of a village.<lb /><lb />Mastodon bones, of course, are fre-<lb />quently dug up in the United States.<lb />The mastodon was a kind of elephant,<lb />but it did not belong to the genus Ele-<lb />phas, The mammoth did not belong to<lb />that genus, being known to modern<lb />science as elephas primi-genus. It,<lb />often happens that farmers plow up the<lb />osseous remains of mastodons, particu-<lb />larly in reelaimed swamy's, where an-<lb />ciently the gigantic beasts became<lb />mired and died from sheer helplessness<lb />to get out. The tusks are commonly<lb />found so far decomposed that the ivory<lb />crumbles between the fingers.<lb /><lb />The first mastodon ever dug up was<lb />found in 1613. The remains of these ani-<lb />mals are by no means confined to the<lb />United States; they are discovered all<lb />over the world. They are much thicker<lb />set than the modern elephant. The<lb />lower jawbone of a full-grown speci-<lb />men weighs nearly 100 pounds, The<lb />first mastodon bones that were dug up<lb />were supposed to be tliose of giants of<lb />an earlier epoch."Washington Star.<lb /><lb />When Lincolu Was Postmaster.<lb /><lb />John Wanamaker was the principal<lb />speaker at a dinner given by the Phila-<lb />delphia Association of Underwriters to<lb />the national board in the Continental<lb />hotel. He told the following story of<lb />Lincoln: oWhile at Washington it came<lb />under my notice in the post office de-<lb />~partment that Abraham Lincoln, in<lb /><lb />a small Ohio town. In the changes<lb />that took place the office was consoli-<lb />dated with Salem, and the man twice<lb />wanted for president was tor once not<lb />wanted for postmaster. Years after it<lb />was discovered that no settlement had<lb />reached Washington of the affairs of<lb />that little post office. A visit was made<lb />to Mr. Lincoln and the case stated,<lb />when the always great man rose from<lb />his desk and walked over to a chest of<lb />drawers and took out a bundle of pa-<lb />pers, ameng them an envelope, contain-<lb />ing $17 and some cents, the exact sum<lb />in identical money of the government<lb /><lb />he handed it over to the agent of the<lb />post office department he said: There<lb />it is.
