ISLAND, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 16, 1886. | k free.”—Evriripgs. Exeavatiens at Pempeii. It seems odd to speak of a dead city asa growing one. But that is exactly the case with Pompeii. There are many cities in ltaly that do not grow half as fast as the one buried by the ashes of Vesuvius 1800 years ago. A person visiting it at intervals of a year notices a marked enlargement of its boundaries. The Italians, you know, are the champion diggers. They make the shovel fly when they attack the grave of Pompeii. We saw a gang of them at work there. A government overseer watches a hawk. He wanted to be sure pocketed no jewelry, coins or objects of art or utility yielded by the ex- cavations. The only produce of their toil in that line as we stood by was a bit of iron which the guide called a hinge, and the fragment of a small marble column. The spades busily plied were gradually bringing to light a beautiful house. The floors were mosaic, with simple but graceful designs in scroll pattern—nearly as fresh of color as if laid yesterday. The walls bore frescoes of fainter tints—grinning masks, fawns,cupids, birds, fish and fruit. I¢ had evidently been the home of a well-to-do citizen of Pompeii. The nervous movements of the workmen betrayed their anxiety, They were hoping at every movement to make a valuable find. them like that they Perhaps they might hit upon a great iron | chest, studded with round knobs like a boiler, and full of gold, money or orna- ments, or they might strike another wonder in marble bronze, or they might be startled by coming suddenly upon a skull or other human remains. In the latter event the work is suspended til) a careful inspection is made. The responsible and intelligent person in charge proceeds to ascertain if the dead Pompedian had left a sould of himself in the plastic ashes. If so he prepares a mixture of plaster of Paris, breaks a hole in the crust, and slowly pours in the liquid till the mound is full. When it has hardened the casting is tenderly re- moved. Lo! there is a rough image, show- ing some poor creature in the agonies of death, prone on the floor, face downward. Thus, most unusually, were the inhabitants of the doomed city caught by the destroying angel. The skull, or leg, or arm, or what- ever other part of the skeleton has not yet relapsed into its original dust,may attach it- self to the plaster cast in the proper place, or may require to be joined on by a pardon- able ‘restoration.’ eee The News from Texas. The drouth in Texas, which has recently been broken, after continuing a year and destroying all the crops which had been planted, extended over an area of one hun- dred and fifiy thousand square miles, and where the damage would be greatest, in fact destroying the means of living of the population. These people need seed corn and seed wheat to get in crops for the next season, and measures are being taken to supply this imperative need. The danger from this severe drought is not yet over, as it was found after a drought over a vast extent in the Northwest, which continued twenty-two months, that the succeeding autumn brought an epidemic which was as distressing and more fatal than the lack of rain. It is an illustration of the vast extent of our national territory that a drought extending over such a section, larger than some European countries, is so little felt in the general prosperity, and can be relieved wholly from our resources without need of any call for foreign aid. The recurrence of such droughts is a subject which deserves attention, and an inquiry as to whether they cannot be prevented by human means. It is believed that trees cause a more equa-j; ble rainfall, and in many countries forests are preserved, and planted as need requires, and our own government has encouraged tree planting upon the public lands granted to settlers. If the danger of so extensive a drought as that which has efilicted Texas can be guarded against by forest culture, | the government should take it in hand. Wp tp a — or The Canadian Pacitie and Cali- fornia. The opening of the Canadian Pacific 2 ' Railroad has naturally attracted some at- tention in San Francisco, where it has even been viewed with alarm as another possible | power for diverting the Pacific coast siup-' ping trade from that port. The new line has in view the establishment of a fleet of steamers running to China and Japan, and another line to Australia via Honolulu. From present appearances the American railroad companies have the most to fear from the competition, as the Canadian line is taking California freight to Chicago and Missouri river points, via Port Moody and St. Paul, at 50c.a hundred pounds. At such rates there is no difficulty in obtaining freight, but it is problematical whether it will pay the company to offer such induce- ments to California shippers for any length of time. The immediate result may be a reduction on the part of the American lines and a fight for supremacy, but if the latter wins then the California shippers who now avail themselves of the cheap offerings will be made to suffer later on. The most probable outcome of the fight will be a per- manent reduction in freights on our Ameri- can lines. Summerside Exports. " SummeERsIDE, Sept. 15. ; i i | | SINGLE Copres Two CEnNTs.

People living in the coal regions of Ohio, embracing four towns and quite a large range of country, were awakened at 4 o'clock on Sunday morning by shocks of earthquake. Houses were badly shaken and articles on mantels thrown to the floor, Several years ago the earth settled several feet without any apparent cause in that region, and people are now badly frightened fearing they will be swallowed up. | On the morning of the 12th inst., * very large meteor passed over the shaken up portion of the country, travelling close to the earth and throwing off heated pavticles. The meteor illuminated the country for a great distance, and is supposed to have struck the earth near the eastern part of Akron, as the shock in that locality was distinctly feit. : i i + Tae - Bed of the Gcrean.

The new rifle which the British Govern- ment intended to supply the army with does not seem to improve on acquaintance, London public opinion says of the arm : *‘It was used last week by a comnany of the K.. ht. Rifles sent from Shorneclitte to Hythe to practice with it; the result was consider- ed to be most unsatisfactory, and very gen- eral disapproval was expressed. We are not aware whether the manufacture of the Martini-Enffeld is being proceeded with at any speed, but it may be as well to warn those who have charye of this matter that, whilst they are pottering about and con- sidering the doubtful advantage of substi- tuting the Martini-Enfield for the Martim- Henry, continental powers are quietly arm- ing with a magazine rifle.” —_———_—_—_—_2 --- <> @- Miss Lulu Bates fell 300 feet with a_ col- lapsed balloon, at Crawfordsville, Ind., the vther day, and still lives. Five National banks of the United States have been fined $100 apiece by the Comp- troller ai Washington for failuie to return reports of their condition within the time specified by law. A farmer in Uconto county, Wis., dug up an iron box ir which were two gold watches and chains, a big roll of greenbacks and a large quantity of silver money. The box was probably burned years ago. Between 1874 and 1878, thirty-taree new post offices were opened in the Northwest. Between 1878 and 1886, three hundred and seventy-six new offices were opened. These figures serve to illustrate the growth of business in all Governinens departments, and explain why the increased expenditure is necessary.
