Proctor contributes to the Contemporary Review a paper on "Earth Movements in Java," from which we take the following pertinent extracts: Those who in recent times have begun to doubt whether the records of ancient earth quakes can possibly be veracious—whether tens of thousands of human beings have ever been destroyed by earththroes—must have had their doubts displaced by the account of the terrible earthquake in Java. Here not only such numbers as the ancient records mention have perished, but the aspect of an extent of earth-surface to be measured certainly by hundreds of thousands of square miles has been altered. The region of disturbance in which the recent great earthquake occurred has long been known to geologists as one in which the earth's subterranean forces show themselves most actively. It has been said of the whole range of islands, from the Aleutian Islands to Sumatra, extending along the eastern and south-eastern coast-line of Asia, that they are but the upraised parts of a region of the earth's crust which is simply alive with the action of subterranean forces. Java itself, though it has not been heretofore the scene of quite such disastrous earthquakes as have occurred in other places (as for instance, in Sicily and Calabria in the Old World, and in Peru and Chili in the New), is nevertheless one of the most singularly volcanic regions of the earth. There are thirty-eight large volcanoes in Java, some DUCKS. And how to Coo: Them. & F. B. The birds, after cleaning, are thoroughly washed in salt water and stuffed with bunches of fresh celery—celery is used, and only celery, because the natural flavor of the bird has a suggestion of celery, from its feed, which the stuffing only slightly emphasizes, but which anything else would alter—which, in my opinion, would be as bad as a signpainter undertaking to alter the tints of an old master's canvas. Well, at a signal from the diners, the birds are placed in an oven as hot as it can be made, and taken out in seventeen minutes. During that time the oven door must not be opened, which it is hard to make an unmitigated cook understand. They want to "baste" the bird, or do some vandal act; and another thing, they generally want to put salt on it before putting in the oven, which must not be done. The birds, one for each two diners, are brought on the table direct from the oven, cut in two and a half given to each. These are eaten just as the are served. Then a chopped celery salad, with wine and jelly dressing is made, and another round of birds are served, a meal for each, as before, and eaten with the salad. This makes another dish of it you see, and gives variety to the meal. After that another round of birds are brought on, divided and served. These can be eaten to suit the taste of each diner.

Java itself, though it has not been heretofore the scene of quite such disastrous earthquakes as have occurred in other places (as for instance, in Sicily and Calabria in the Old World, and in Peru and Chili in the New), is nevertheless one of the most singularly volcanic regions of the earth. There are thirty-eight large volcanoes in Java, some of which are more than ten thousand feet in height. It is a peculiarity of the earthquake in this region that they seldom eject lava, but enormous masses of mud—"rivers of mud," they have been called, flow from them. Enormous quantities of sulphur are also emitted, with sulphurous vapors poisoning the air for miles around. Van der Boon Mesch, speaking of the eruption of Galunggung, in Java, on October 8, 1822, says that the mountain began to been forth not water and a mass of mud and burning sulphur, and the streams of these overflowed fields distant more than ten miles from the mountains. A few remarks should be made on the evidence which such disturbances as those in Ischia and Java afford of terrestrial vitality. The material life of a planet is beginning to be recognized as being no less real than the life of a plant or of an animal. It is a different kind of life; there is neither consciousness such as we see in one of these forms of life, nor such systematic progress as we recognize in plant life. But it is lite, all the same. It has had a beginning, like all things when exist; and like them all, it must have end. The lifetime of a world like our earth may be truly sort to be a lifetime of cooling. Beginning in the glowing, vaporous condition which we see in the sun and stars, an orbit in space passes gradually to the condition of a cool, non luminous mass, and thence with progress depending chiefly on its size (slower for the large masses and quicker for the small ones), it passes steadily onwards to wards inertness and death. Regarding the state in which we find the earth to be as the stage of a planet's mid-life—viz., that in which the conditions are such that multidimensional forms of life can exist upon its surface, we may call that stage death in which these conditions have entirely disappeared. Now, among the conditions necessary for the support of life negeneral are some which are unfavorable to individual life. Among these may be specially noted the action of those subterranean forces by which the earth's surface is continually modelled and remodelled. It has been remarked with great justice, by Sir John Herschel, that since the continents of the earth were formed, forces have been at work which would long since have sufficed to have destroyed every trace of land, and to have left the surface of our globe one vast, limitless ocean. But against these forces counteracting forces have been at work, constantly disturbing the earth's crust, and by keeping it irregular, leaving room for ocean tting in the oven, which must not be done. The birds, one for each two dinners, are brought on the table direct from the oven, cut in two and a half given to each. These are eaten just as the are served. Then a chopped celery salad, with wine and jelly dressing is made, and another round of birds are served, a cut for each, as before, and eaten with the salad. This makes another dish of it you see, and gives variety to the meal. After that another round of birds are brought on, divided and served. These can be eaten to suit the taste of each dinner. A popular dressing is lime juice, cayenne and salt. Only the breast of the birds are eaten, but even then a bird and a half for each is a satisfactory supply. "Is that all the dinner consists of?" Well, about all. A canvasback is too choice and delicious to be mixed up with much else. We start in with a light clear soup—small plate—then have sooth fish, or some trie in fish, plainly cooked, and then the canvas back. After that cheese and black coffee." "How about other ducks?" Well, I hardly like to mention any duck on the same day I have talked about the canvas back; but the sin I hope will be forgiven me. The mailard is a fine booking duck, unkept or served; but the meat rather too close grained and dry. The teal course is the duck for feeding; the widghorn serves to make our lives endurable if it,the widgeon is roasted thoroughly and served cold for breakfast next day. Follow a cold half of a roasted widgeon on Sunday morning with an oyster omelet, and existence will take on a brighter hue if the omelet is not browned. For an entree dish the springtail duck was not born in vain." "Couldn't you caligrate me more thoroughly as to the particular manner the springtail can be made to serve the inner man?" Roast for eight minutes two spriggal ducks, take out and cut off the meat. Break up the bones and carcasses and put on the fire with water,a dozen carrots,一ome onion and some celery to make gravy;when done strain it off. Put in a stewpan the meat,two ounces of butter,the gravy,salt,paper,cayenne,一onehalf head of celery cut in steps,a teaspoonful carrot jelly,and a dozen stoned carrots; cook gently ten minutes stirring it well until smooth;add a piece of butter rolled in brown flour;stew five minutes and serve very hot. "All of these ducks are plentiful in the San Francisco game markets,together with several other less choice varieties,and as you know,the very cheap in the season.This year the ducks,eespecially the canvasbacks are uncommonly fine owing to a favorable feeding season up north.The canvasback feeds on the roots of the so-called wild celery,或swamp celerywhich,在fact,是not a celery butthe rufisineria operalis." "That don't sound quite as promising as celery." No,但 that's what it is.all the same,and the common error of calling it celery grew out of the fact that the ducks,a season's feeding on it have a faulty flavor for profit for an availablinessearnedfromthecentfinbeunlimitedstone.moundofoneOneoineownworkmenethemineyouacoustereferenceNativetoevidencerecentlyment.inIntheD.B.itfirst cavecontainefalse solidssemtothemoredoubtbutthefastemodels.KimbeingduringDurienbeenexemplengandthechaethermuseumCatholikBishopnongoodenedofdrink5.Anysupplyancomeintsin.becomewithoututoxindus6.Writingtowrongwayasquanderniereupport,andjustthrusundefaldextractiontoxication PEARSON'S DINING PALACE.

Correspondence Solicited. At the Railroad Commissioner's meeting last week, Humphreys offered the following resolution which was adopted: It is hereby ordered that the secretary be and he is hereby directed to notify the South Pacific Coast, North Pacific Coast, San Francisco and North Pacific, Vaca Valley and Clear Lake, Nevada County Narrow Gauge, Visualia, Santa Cruz and Sonoma Valley, and California Southern Railroad Companies to appear before the Board of Railroad Commissioners and show cause on the third Friday of December why a reduction should not be made on their roads corresponding with those made on the Central and Southern and their leased lines. Foote's three cent passenger schedule was rejected, the majority deciding to give Humphrey's four cent schedule a trial. The Board adjourned to meet December 21st. Francisco game markets, together with several other less choice varieties and, as you know, are very cheap in the season. This year the ducks, especially the canvashacks, are uncommonly fine owing to a favorable feeding season up north. The canvashack feeds on the roots of the so-called wild ceryl, or swamp celery, which, in fact, is not a celery but the ralisneria operalis." "That don't sound quite as promising as celery." "No, but that's what it is, all the same, and the common error of calling it celery grew out of the fact that the ducks after a season's feeding on it, have a faint flavor of celery. The canvashack is the best diver for the celery, the bulb of such alone it eats, after wrestling it from the bottoms by a long struggle under water. The widgeon can't dive for it, where the water is deep, but hangs around on the surface and steals it from the canvashack when it comes up with a bulb in its bill, and before it recovers from its struggle under water. The canvashack is a peaceful, patient and well mannered bird, as a bird of such perfect flavor should be, and instead of fighting the rocally widgeon, dives for another root. I never eat widgeons out of respect to the canvashacks." PARIS. Nov. 16.—This afternoon, while Prime Minister Ferry was in the Senate Chamber, a youth 18 years of age went to the Minister of Public Instruction and asked to see Ferry. The latter's secretary informed the youth that Ferry was absent. The stranger then left, but returned ten minutes later and found his way into the reception room, holding in his hand a revolver, which he kept pointed, as if ready to fire. The officials seized him, and after a struggle overpowered him. While being held he shouted, "Vive la Republique Sociale! Vice la Commande!" The revolver was fully loaded and thirty cartridges were found on the person of the youth, who gave the name of Currien. He said he was born at Hagenau, in Aleace, and was a baker by trade. Currien stated that the murder of the French Ministers had been agreed upon at a meeting of a secret society at Lille, and he had come to Paris to execute the mandate of the society. He regretted that he had not been successful, and said that as soon as liberated he would make another attempt, which would be successful. Ferry did not hear of the affair until 6 o'clock. Currien, who sought to shoot Ferry, has been examined by a doctor and pronounced a lunatic. GAZETTE. NO. 7 FROM THE DIAMOND FIELDS. The following interesting items are from letters from the Kimberley diamond region, South Africa, published in the Colonial papers: The London and South African Exploration Company has declared an interim dividend of 2s. per share, which equals 20 per cent on the paid up capital of £50,000. This is only a quarterly dividend, and not a had one either for these hard times. Lucky shareholders will likely get 80 per cent per annum on their scrip. Some here would be hilariously happy with a tenth of that. The British (Kimberley) Diamond Mining Company held its usual quarterly meeting in the offices of the Company, Boroate's Chambers, on Monday last. 11,117 loads of blue were washed, leaving only on the floors at 31st March 580 loads. There were 19,8682 coats obtained, which have realised £15,599 0s. 3t. £1,412 18s. 8d. has been earned for reef work; but in view of the Mining Board bills taken in payment of this amount not being realisable, the Directors do not recommend a dividend being paid. The net profit for the three months is £5,502 12s. 8d—an average of 15s. 94 per carat. I had a letter from the River the other day ("Waldek's Plant"), and am glad to hear the diggers are fairly satisfied with recent finds. Tom Muldoon, as usual, has been lucky, and found a 78 carat—a fine stone. White has got a perfect little diamond of 177 carats, though not quite white. One of the annoyances experienced by mine owners is the theft of diamonds by the workmen. When the men come up from the mine they are thoroughly searched, that they may not carry away any of the precious stones. The following paragraphs have reference to this matter. THE RAISINS. S. F. Commercial Harald. Mr. Blowers, of Yolo, who has been taking some pains during the past couple of weeks to obtain data on the raisin crop of the State, cannot find out that there will be more than 80,000 boxes this year, and that it will not probably reach more than 70,000. This is a considerable reduction, not only from what was expected earlier, but even from later statistics, which went up to 100,-000 boxes. The number of boxes made during the past seven years has been as follows: Boxes Boxes 1876 4,100 170 70,000 1877 25,000 181 90,000 1878 75,000 182 100,000 1879 70,000 The most of this year's crop has been made in Southern California, the falling off being principally in the north. It seems from this that the supply will be considerably restricted this year, and not only in California but elsewhere. The New York Grocer says that there is a shortage this year in imports of one hundred thousand boxes of Malagas and 400,000 boxes of Valencias. The consumption of the United States varies from 1,500,-000 to 2,000,000 boxes a year, and this is quite a severe falling off—half a million boxes. It looks, therefore, as if raisins would be high this year. The auction sales in New York have had an unfavorable influence on raisins and rapa; but the market will recover from that. At one of the last sales Brown & Secombi sold 2000 boxes loose Muscatel raisins at $1.70; 6000 boxes Vaencia looses at $7e; 1000 boxes London... profit for the three months is £5,52124.81—an average of 15s.94 per carat. I had a letter from the River the other day ("Walbek's Plant"), and am glad to hear the diggers are fairly satisfied with recent finds. Tom Maldock, as usual, has been lucky, and found a 78 carat—a fine stone. White has got a perfect little diamond of 17s carats, though not quite white. One of the annoyances experienced by mine owners is the theft of diamonds by the workmen. When the men come up from the mine they are thoroughly searched, that they may not carry away any of the precious stones. The following paragraphs have reference to this matter. Natives are not unfrequently caught trying to evade the searching houses, and one was recently finned 20s, or a month's imprisonment, which should have the desired effect. In the case against Harris Phillips for I. D. B., it was discovered that his box had secret cavities behind all the hinges, which contained diamonds, and his very boots had false soles to receive the precious gems. It seems the illicit fraternity are resorting to more delicate means to effect their purposes but the training of the detectives advances fast enough to detect even these clever little dodges. Kimberley weather is rather harsh. Writing during May, the editor says: "During the past few days the weather has been extremely cold, especially in the mornings and evenings, and the suddenness of the change is felt somewhat severely. The thermometer having smelt so low on one occasion as 42 degrees Fahrenheit." Catholic Doctrine on Temperature. Bishop O'Reilly of Liverpool has pronounced the following decisions for the guidance of Catholics in regard to intoxicating drink: 1. Whosoever drinks deliberately to such an extent as to lose his reason commits a moral sin. 2. Whosoever knows by past experience that when drunk he is accustomed to blaspheme, or after other improper language, or injure others, besides the sin of drunkenness, is guilty of those other crimes committed during the state of intoxication. 3. Whosoever does not adopt the proper means for the correction of this vicious habit of drunkenness, remains in a continual state of sin. 4. Whosoever entices or urges another to excess in drinking, whom he forces will be intoxicated, commits a mortal sin. 5. Any seller of liquor who continues to supply any individual that he knows will become intoxicated therewith commits a mortal sin because he deliberately cooperates with the grecious sin of another. 6. Whosoever is guilty of excess in drinking, though not to intoxication, in such a way as to cause distress to his family by squandering that which is needed for their support, commits a mortal sin against charity and justice. In like manner, whosoever thus renders himself unable to pay his lawful debts, although he may not drink to intoxication, commits a mortal sin. Woman Suffrage. The London Lancet contains an exhaustive article on "Therapeutical Drinking of Hot Water; Its Origin and Its Use." The article is written by Dr. Ephraim Cutter, an eminent physician of New York City, and contains some statements and suggestions which, to say the least, are worthy of attention. Dr. Cutter says that the first use made of hot water as a medicine, or "health regulator," was made by Dr. James H. Salabury of New York, who by a series of experiments on men and various animals, demonstrated its efficacy. In his article Dr. Cutter gives directions for the proper use of hot water. In the first place it must be hot, i.e., not less than 110 deg. nor more than 150 deg. Fahrenheit. This excites proper action of the digestive organs. Cold water depresses and lukewarm water causes vomiting. For diarrhoea the hotter the water the better. For hemorrhages it should be at blood heat. The quantity of hot water drunk varies from one-half pint to a pint and one-half according to the condition of the patient and the disease treated. The hot water should be taken one or two hours before each meal, and half an hour before retiring. This gives the water time to operate before food enters the stomach or sleep comes. The water should be sipped slowly, and the swallowing of half a pint should take half an hour. It takes six months to wash out the liver and intestines thoroughly. It the hot water seems "flat" flavorings, such as lemon, sage or ginger, may be added. The effects of drinking are noticed in the improved feelings of the patient. The urine becomes clear as crystal, and perspiration is free. The digestion improves, thirst disappears, and there is no longer a craving for liquor. Taken as a whole from Dr. Cutter's estimate, the hot water treatment is the most complete remedy yet discovered for all the evils flesh is hurt to. He Read Dime Novels.

A bill to strike out the word "male" from all the election laws, passed the Council of Washington Territory, by a vote of 7 to 5. It passed the lower house several weeks ago by a large majority. There is no doubt that Gov. Newell will sign the bill, as he is an ardent advocate of woman's suffrage. Chicago, November 15 — A Toronto special says: A joint deputation of members of the City Council and Canadian Woman Suffrage Association waited on the local Government yesterday afternoon in reference to bestowing upon women the same qualifications as men now possess—the right of franchise in Municipal and Parliamentary elections. After hearing the views of the deputation, Attorney General Mowatt, on behalf of the Government, said there was no doubt that the franchise would have to be extended to women in time. A few municipalities had petitioned for a change, while with regard to school trustees, women entitled to vote had not exercised the franchise much. The subject, he said, would be considered carefully by the Government. At a wedding in Carrituck, North Carolina, liquor at the supper table led to a difficulty, in which several guests participated. Six shots were fired in one minute, clearing the room. The groom's best man was killed and another groomsman received a mortal wound. The corpse was removed to an upper room and the young couple sat up all night with the disabled man. A General Stampede.

The lad disappeared about a week ago, taking with him two revolvers. His departure was the direct result of reading cheap literature. An examination of the papers left behind him shows that about four weeks ago he organized a secret society called the "Society of the Silver Skull." It had a membership of about ten boys, whose ages ranged from 11 to 15 years. Their meetings and initiatory ceremonies were held in a barn on Arlington street. The following is the oath each candidate had to take before he became a member. It is in the handwriting of young Gaylord: Cursed be friendship. Cursed be fathers, mothers, sisters, brothers. May the offspring of ours gives canker, blister and decay upon its dying mother's breast; may the blood of each beet pestiferous plague; may the hair of each fall from his head, the teeth crumble in his jaws, the brain rot in his skull, the eyes canker and fall from their sockets, and the fingers grow palsied if we ever betray the secrets of the Skulla. So do you swear. Death to our enemies. Life to the Skulla. Jason Caskey is a young lad who in some way incurred the displeasure of "The Skulla." Two weeks ago his death warrant was sent to him. It is written in red ink to signify blood. At the top of the paper is a grinning skull and cross bones, and directly below it is a bloody hand, with the word "Death" written in it. Underneath is the following: JASON CASKEY: One month from to-night, Nov. 2, if you do not join us, you will receive your death warrant, and two days from then your death. By order of THE SKULLS. KANSAS CITY, Mo., Nov. 17. — Elder Morgan, of the Mormon Church, passed through this city to-day, en route to Salt Lake with 78 recruits from Southern States. The Prosecutes are of the most ignorant class and appear to have no idea of Mormonism. They say they have been promised homes, with no restriction as to choice of religion.
