A New York, dispatch of August 29th says : Details havo bren received bv specials from London of tho volcanio eruption, renulting in tidal waves, in tbe island of Java, which began last Satur day night and still eoiitiuuos. Tin sceno was frightful, and loss of lifo and property great. Some 2000 Chinoso liv ing on low grounds near Ertrun, 11a taviu harbor, wore drowned by thn ris ing of the waves, and out of 3300 Emo I icans and Americans living iu that city, 800 ura said to bo lost. At Anjer a shower of rooks, mud and lava, followed by a tidal wave, destroyed 2000 people. Bantam is entirely covered with water, and from 1000 to 1209 persons arc dead U illuming Insect. Au array of mailed forms, including the "shard-bomo beetle, with his drowsy bum," demauds attention. In uo beetle and, indocd, in no other insect do we meet the perfection of vocalization seon iu tho gruKtdioppcrs and their relations. And with tho beotlo wo approach more clearly to tho region of "hums and droning, and leave that ot specialized sounds, suoh as we have been metephor- acally heuring.iu the cicadas. To psss from tho litter insocts to the beetles, beos, flies and othor neighbors, appears to be a transition almost as wide as that bo tweeu tbo articulate language or arith metio of culture and the scanty vocab nlary of the savago or primitive matbe ruutios of tbo tribe wbo can count ton as represented on their fingers and toes, but ask in amazement why thero should be more thiugs in the world. In the beetles tho souud-producing organ is comparable to a kind of "rasp wlncli moves upon an adjoining surface. Tbe site of the organ in question varies m different beetles. In some tbo rasps aro situated on the upper surface, of orw or two of the tail segments, and are rubbed aguin.st tho binder edges of tho wiug cov ers. Sometimes the ranp is placed quite at tho tip of the tail: and in some well known beetles (snoli as tho weevils) tho rasps may be worn ou tho wing cov ers and may produce the stiidulating sounds by rubbing against the edge ol tho joints of tbe tail. Among tho sonuds prod need by beetles, tho weird noiso of tbe death-watch (Anonium) stands pre eminent. Tbo sound produced by these beetles resembles the ticking of a watch, and they msy be made to respond by placing a watch close by their habitats. The female death-watchers are known to tick in response to tbe souuds of tbo male insects. Tbe noise is produced ap parently by the insect raising itself on its lega and bv its striking its chest againat the adjoining wood. Thus tbe simple explanation of an insect call ex plains away tbo superstitution expressed in Gay's line: The sMcmn dtiti-vtich cMok'J las hoar ibs at mL" Butterflies and moths are known oc casionally to produce sounds, which pro ceed, in one or two cases at least, from a drum-like membraie analogous to that seen in cicada. Mr. Darwin, indeed, mentions that one specie (Ageronia ferouia) "mikes a noise like that pro duced by a spring-catch, wbicb can be heard at a distance of several yards." Belgravia. Senator Fair is said to inid to rcarry on bis retarn from Euroj. The Dmipir of Mead Drinking. While every one is willing to admit that the habitual drinking of spirituous liquors is detrimental lo hoaltb.few per sons believe that, except in cases of inor dinate indulgence, ale and beer are in jurious. Kj general is the conviction that these beverics are harmlets that they are frequently drank instead of wa ter, as a safeguard to health. In view of thu character of the water furnished the inhabitants, not only to this city, but to tbe dwellers of other closely populated sections as well, thero would aeem to be sorao excuso for this reasoning. This point, however, is open to discussion, and beforo jumping at any corcluiion as to tbo advantages of malt liquors ver sus water, it will bo wiso to consider tbe opiuions of medical men, wbo have abundant opportunity to watch tbo ef fects of each and aro presumably quali fled to judge of their respective merits. Moreover tho man who drinks bcor or alo as a sanitary measure can havo no assnranco that it is not mado from water originally even more impure than that be seeks to avoid, and further defiled by drugs and herb) which are in themselves prejudicial to health, lo the in jurious effects of malt liqu ors numerous English physicians of note have recently borne testimony. In ft letter recently delivered by Mr. William Ilargravo, bo referred to tbo opinions of a few of theso professional experts. All of thorn agree that tbo Lon don draymen, wbo havo tbo unlimited privilege of the brewery cellar, ae the worst patients in the Metropolitan hos pital. Though they aro apparently mod els of health and strength, yet if one of them receives a serious injury, it is nearly always necessary to ampntato in order to give him the remotest chanca of life. Sir Astley Cooper finds that even so slight an injury as a scratch on the hand from a splinter is quite sufficient to frequently cause death to the habitual beer drinker. Dr. Gordon says that tbo moment beer drinkers are attacked with acuto diseases they are not able to bear depletion, aud dio. Dr. Edwards thinks their disoasos are always of a dangerous character, and that in cases uf accident they can never undergo even the most triling operation with the security of the temperate. Other medical men of no less nolo nro of the opinion that malt liquors render the blood sizy anl unfit for circulation hence proceed ob structions and inflammations of the lungs and that there aro few great bear drinkers who aro not phthisical, brought on by tho glutinous and indigostiblo na ture of tho alo and porter. Theso liquors inflame the blood, and tear to pices the tender vessels of tbo lunci Tbe experience of these gontlcmen teaches them not alono are the brain and lungs affected by even tho moderate use of beer, but the stomach is also mado to pay its sharo of the penclty. Tho nerves of tho stomach are injured, causing dys pepsia, etc., and its muotious lining bo comes inflamed and covered with ulcerous putches. In conclusion, they think that regular moderate di inking is more inju rious than periodical drunkenness, with iutervuls of abstinence. It is, then, tho daily tippling iu which tho greatest danger lies. Tho stomach is subjected to frequent stimulation and depression, and the system has uo time to overcome tbo injury of tbo poison which accumu lates from dy to day, never ceasing in its work of destruction. The conclusions rfci.cbod by a recently presented report of the committee of tho llarveian socioty in England relating to tho mortality dua to alcohol nioy bo of interest in this con nection, as there is no reason to believe that tho death rate from such causes in Eugland and America differs very widely, Tho report says: ' There is, upon tho whole, reason to think that in tho metropolis the mortal ity among auy coutsideratlo group of in temperuto persons will differ from that generally prevailing among adults in tbo following important particular, namely: A fourfold increuso in tho deaths from diseases of tho liver or chyl opoetio viscera, a two-fold increuso in the deaths from disease of tho kidneys, n do crease of half as much again of those from heart disease, a marked increase of those from pucumonia and pleurisy, a considerable increaso and nn earlier re currence of thoso from disease of the cen tral norvous system, a marked increaso in thoso from bronchitis, asthma, emphy sema and congestion of tbo lungs, ado creaso uearly ds great iu thoso from phthisis, and a later occurrence, or at least termination, of tho disease, a very largo doereaso in thoso from old age, with an increase iu those referred to atrophy, dobiiity, etc, and tho addition of a considerable group referred in gen eral terms to alcoholism or chronic alco holism, or resulting from accidents." Pbila. Tress. Tka vTholcsomenrss of Ilrcad. Miss Juliet Corson, in llarper's B iz ir, treats tho bread question, as r.H other details of cookery, from a practical point of view. Sbo says a good word for ier.i ted bread, made cf doiiKh, into which carbouio acid gas is forced, and baked before tho bubbles have a chance to escape. The main objection to fresh yeast bread for dyspeptics is th it it is soft, and therefore too easily swollen, whereas tho "stale" bread requires mnch mastication. If sufferers who have been avoiding new bread will take tho same trouble in chewing it as tbey ate com pelled to do with tho old, they will got all the advantage of their patience in tbe more palstablo article. Tlio fresh broad eater really tasks his digestion with a much larcer mass of spongy quality than the stale bread eater, and one which has not been as well broken np bv tbe etion of the silivs. If dyspeptics were careful to ake the smallest mouthfuls at a time tbey would find even fresh bread more nanagoable, with sufficient chew ing, than is supposed. In the choice of flours, that msde from hard winter wheat is tbe riohest in gluten ; In Europe it is used for mukiug the different vari eties of maccaroni; the brown bread of Europe is roadii from this wheat ground entire. Soft spring wheat yields a whita floor rich in starch. Bran bread may be very irritating to some invalids, so "Graham bread" and tho "whole meal" fashion should only be adopted when it is proved to be satisfactory. The parti cles of bran msy cause an irritation of tbe alimentary caoal and produoe diar rheas. Undoubtsdly this irritation or stimulus may ba exactly what is needed by aome constitutions. (ji'aHi Ere fjr Animals. A a Sun reporter glanced at a glass showcase in front cf a taxidermist's store on Williams street bis glance was re turned by u hnndred eyes of various colors and dimensions. They wero yel low, blue, csrniine, b'own and oval, round and oval, largo and small. Some bod tho mild, snpphcating gaze of an Alderuy cow, some the glaroof tbo tiger, some the wary glanco of tbe fox, some tbe steady stare of the owl, and some the idiotic look of a wax dummy. A sign on tho case read: "Artificial eves for stuffed birds, etc.," and painted band pointed upstairs. In a email front room on tbe secoud floor were a number of showcases full of all kinds of fancy articles of glueswaro, and among tbe cases was ouo containing eyes like those below. Scattered over a tablo were thia bars of glass of various hues. From the back room camo a combination of souuds liko the whirr of a sewing machine aud tbe sprrr-ut of a gas flamo in draught. Mingled with these were complaints ot tho heat, and directions to a small boy to take a tin can and get ttn cents' worth of something cold. In the back tbe reporter saw two men engaged in glass blowing, and a third super intending them. One of the men bad a bar of ordinary crystal glass. Holding it in the gas lla-ao, he worked a lump of glass around the end of a wire. While it was still soft bo handed it over to tbe other blower, wbo took a very thin bar of yellow glass, and, boating it, worked it into the crystal. When after n whilo be removed tlie crystal and yellow glass from tho flams, tbo glass at the end of tho wire looked like a round, glowing eye. Asitcaoled down the yellow that had worked in began to resemble more and more a yellow iris. When it was thoroughly cool and hard it looked like a large owl's eye, tbo pupil being a section of the wire on which tbo glass wss heated. Before the glass had cooled, the first man had heated another piece of crystal glass, molded it, and handed it to the secoud man, who again worked in a piece of yellow glass. "We've got enongh owl's eyes now," tbe superintendent said. "I guess yon bad better make fifty dolls' eyes, fifteen pair bluo and tho rest brown." "You see," ho continued, turning to tbe reporter, "baby dolls mostly have light hair ua 1 blue eyes, while large young lady dolls ara brunottes. As tho baby dolls aro cheaper, there is more demand for them, and so I have to keep more blue eyes on hand." As be finished speaking, tbe first work mau pressed the soft, boated crystal glass into a tiny mold, drew it out a "tiny white human eye, and banded it to tbe second workman, wbo icscrtod a small blue iris, just as he had inserted tho yellow pupils in the owl eyes. After the glass had cooled down it looked like a weo bluo human eye. When fifteen pairs bad thus bei-n made, the heated crystal was dipped into a larger mould for largo young lady dolls' eyes, aud browu irises workod in. When ten pairs of these bad been made tho superintendent said: "Now, that we've mado eyes for babies and young ladies, we'll mako soma for full-grown women milliner's wax lay- figures, you know. Brown eyes this titne.becauso wo ve got blue eyes enough ou bund." This time the heated crystal glass was pressed into a mold as largo as a woman s eye, and n correspondingly largo iris was worked iu. "Is your principal tralo in eyes for dolls and lay-flguics, or in artificial eyes for beasts and birds?" tbo repoitcr asked tbe superintendent. "In the latter. That is my specialty. I havo two diplomas from the American society of taxidermists." "Do you sell your goods at retail to people who have pets stuffed?" "No. I am simply a manufacturer and sell to dealers in artificial eyes, though I also sell to taxidermists." "And for what eyes do you have tho most demand?" "Of cours9 for artificial eyes for stuffed household pets dogs' eyes, cats' eyes, and hmall birds' eyes." "And do you keep theso in all sizes?" "Not only in all sizes, but in a 1 shapes. The shapo of tbe eye differs according to tho position .of tho bird or animal though tho differeuco is greater iu ani mals than in birds." "In what animal docs tbe shape of the eye vary tho most." "Decidedly the cat. Tho shapes cf the cat's eye ruu nil tbo way from round to oysl. It depends on whether tbe cat is looking into a flamn of light or in a dark room, or is purring, or just waking op, or opening its . eyes in a doso aud on many other circn instances. Now peoplo may remember their cat with most pleas ure in a certain position, and according ly havo it stuffed in tint position. Of conrso tho taxidermist comes to mo for the eyes which suit tho position, and it is in shaping them according to tbe exi gencies of tbe occasion that the manufac turer shows his skill." "Sonio animals, I suppose, havo large eyes tor their sizo and some have small ones?" "O'.i, yes. The owl has a very krge eye for its size, when you compsro it to tho peacock, which has very small eyes." "For what animal or bird do ou make the lagest eyes and for which tho smallest?" "I mako tbe largest eyes for the moose and the smallest for tb- thrush." "Do you use other colors than brown and yellow in making eyes for beasts and birds." "For some fancy Soulh American birds I have to, or tbey wouldn't look natural." As the reporter went down stairs the sun was streaming into the show-case on the street bnt the eyes didn't blink. The Riverdale.a Hudson river steamer, while in New York harbor, on tbe after noon of the 28th instant, exploded her boiler. Over 100 passengers were on board at tbe time and many were thrown into the river by the force of the explo sion while others jumped into the water to escapA sotlding from tbe hissing steam. Tho steamer sank in ten min utes after tbe explosion. The loss of life is varionsly estimated at from ten to fifty, and would have been much greater were it not for the assistance rendered tbo unfortunate passengera by the large number of crafts in tbe river at the tiao. Dam lug With a Duke. Tho other night the young .Inkerf Newcastle danced with five gorged partnors. It was a special ball night, und so the toilets were such as to illus trate the ndwrat developments i a tlie sum mer style. His f.rst partner is an Alge rian striped muBlin, transparent, lined with pink silk and looped over a short underskirt, of abito sutin cut into blocks around tbe bottom. Each block is band painted with a spray of pink morning glories and foliage, this block trimming falling over a deep flounco of Oriental la;o. Tbo aatiu bndico has a spray of morning glories, starting from tbe left shoulder, crossing the waist diagonally aud fulling iu a garland over tho tides of the paniers. His second wore a dress of heavy whito corded silk, hand-embroidered in whito sadler silk bouquets. Tho front is a breadth of splendid ohcuillc embroid ery in tbe proper colors for roses and droopiug clusters of wisterias nud their foliago. Tbe lcng train is split up tbo back, nod from tbe opening thero rusurs a sweeping of this chenille-embroidered silk. Tho third is in purplixh blue and bluish French gray, both materials the heaviest satin, aud at tbe smallest calcu lation twenty yards of euch is gobbled in the manufacture of this stunning cos tume. Newcastle's fourth wultz was with a girl iu a toilet of oak satin merveillenx, trimmed on the bottom with a puffing of tho same stun, surmounted by a Conice of old rose silk, embroidered in open work, lbe corjage, of oak srmure, is pointed at the waist, with n flounce in large pleats set on all around. But tbe moiit gorgeous dreps pressed by tbe dnke's son's arm is gendarme blue, with huge biocaded flowers of shaded gold nearly covering the surface. This superb material is puffed, looped and draped from the waist to tbe end of the train, with a freedom utterly regard less of cost. Besides, there ran up tho front, aoross tho brecst and down the back, au exquisite trimming of floss em broidery of flowers and leaves in natural colors, cut out and thickly studded with pearl beads. The fellow might easily havo imagined that he wus dancing with a duchess. Long Branch Cor. Cincin nati Enquirer. Dried Pea Soup. For four quarts of this soup use ono quart of split peas; pick over tbe peas, removing all the defectives ones, wash them in plenty of cold water, pour two quarts of cold water over them and let them stand over night to soak. The next day drain the peas, put them In a soup kettle with four quarts of cold water, one pound of lean beef out in ono piece frt m tbe neck or leg, and a quarter of a pom A of fat salt pork, well washed and bc raped but not cut up; season the soup with one level teaspoonf ul of sweet majoram very finely powdered, one saltspoonful f pepper and a level tablespoonful of sil ; closely cover the soup kettle, placo it over tbe hre and let its contents slowly reach the boiling point. Boil the toup very slowly for two hours, or until tbo peas aro soft; then take out tbe beef and pork; cut tbo pork in very small bits, and save it to again put into tbo soup; tbe beef may be cut fine aud put into the soup if it is liked; set a sieve over a largo earthern bowl, and pour tho soup into tho sieve; rub the peas through tbe sieev with a potato masher, aud return them with tbo liquid part of tbo soup to tho soup kettle; put in with the pen 3 tbe meat, after it has been cut up, a table spoonful of finely chopped parsley, and a spoonful of chopped celery; set tbo soup kettle over tbe fire, and let tho soup beat to tbe boiling point; while tho soup is heating, ont.in half inch slices enougb stale bread to nearly fill a pint bowl, and fry it light brown in somo drippings or butter, made smoking hot over tbe fire before putting bread into it. Put fried bread into tbe soup tureen, pour tbe hot soup on it, and servo it at once. The fried bread is sometimes sent to the table ou a dish, and a few bits of it are placed in each plate of soup as it is served; this preserves the crispness of tbe bread. If tbe soup is thicker than very thick cream after it is put through tbe sieve a little boiling water may be added to it for the purpose of thinning it; tbe sea soning must be made palatable before serving tbe soup. A Famous Aeronant. The village of Tidalon-les-Annony, celebrated last moi.tb the centenary of Joseph Montgolfier, the famoas balloon ist. His father was a well-to-do paper maker. Tbe son, wbo bad au excellent education, early showed a marked taste for science, and very early signalized himself by improvements in gunpowder manufacture and many other industries, more esjeeially paper-making. His bal loon invention created an extraordinary excitement in Frauce, and Louis XVI. conferred on him an order and a pension and letters of nobility on his father a rare instance of speedy reeoguitiou for an Inventor in high quarters, llo met with equal acceptance at tbe bands of Napoleon, who gave him the Legion of Honor, and mado him director of arts and manufacture. Montgolfier Lad a most able coadjutor iu bis brother, Etienne, and a modest pyramid at Ao nonay commemorates the two. The people there think that tbe Montgoifier3 deserve something better, and a sub scription has been opened for that end. Its promoters aver that those who recall that sixty -four balloons cirried 3,000,000 of letters into and out of Paris during tbe siege, should cheerfully contribute. Montgolfier would probably be much mortified and surprised were he to re turn to earth to day. and find that the guidance of balloons remains as poor Mr. Powell, the British member of par liament, found at the cost of his life two years ago, as mnek a mystery at ever.
