What Volcanoes Have Done.

rockets .5,UUU rect ABOVE It's crater,
while in 1744 the blazing mass, strug-
Cling for all outlet, roared so that it's
awful voice was heard distance Of
more than 600 miles. In 1897 the
crater of Tunguragua, one Of the great
peaks of the Andes, flung out torrents
of mud which damned up rivers, open
| ed new lakes and in valleys of 1000
feet wide made deposits of 800 feet
deep. The stream from Vesuvius,
which in 1887 passed through Zorro
del Greco, contained 33,6OO,OO cubic
feet of solid matter; and in 1894, when
Zorro del Greco was destroyed a Sc
cond time, the mass Of lava amounted
to 45,OOO,OOO cubic feet. In 1879 Eft
ma poured forth food which covered
81 square miles Of surface, and meas
ured 100000 cubic feet, On this
occasion the scori;e formed the Monte
Kossi, near Nicolosi, a cone two miles
in circumference and 1000 feet high.
The stream thrown out by Etna in
| 1910 was in motion at the rate Of a
yard per day for nine months after the
eruption; and it is on record that the
lava of the same mountain, after ter
rible eruption was not thoroughly cool
ed and consolidated ten years after the
event. In the eruption of Nesrvius,
\. ID. 70, the scori;e and ashes vomited
forth far exceeded the entire bulk of
the mountain; while in 1000 Etna dis
gorgell more than twenty times its own
mass. Vesuvius has thrown its ashes
as far as Constantinople, Syria, and
Egypt; it hurled stones, eight pounds
in weight, to Pompeii, a distance of six
miles, while similar masses were toss
ed 1000 feet above its summit. Co.
topaxi has projected a block Of 100
cubic yards in volume, distance of
nine miles, and Sambawa, in 1918,
during the most terrible eruption on
record sent its ashes as far as Java, a
!diStauee of 300 miles, and out OF Il
population Of II 900 souls, only twen-
ty escaped.
How A WOMAN FEELS WHEN IN
LovE.-The following says the New
tOrlcans Picayune, is one OF the letters
read at the recent trial in Dublin
which resulted i'll proving the two
marriages between Teresa I,ongworth
and Major lelverton, valid. How Il
man feels when in love has often been
|described. How woman feels is
not so generally known, but is admira-
blv pictured in the letter. Those
little feet, kickin" and stamping to
have their boots laced" are peculiarly
expressive:
Caro- amo ARA woke me this
morning by inserting your letter I'M
der my pillow. How / longtd that
the spiritual essence of persons con-
tanned in Il letter could, on opening,
be reproduced into corporeal develop
ment. | am getting very material,
and enjoy solid and substance. l
have now on y eight days to wait, but
every hour seems an age. l never
did feel in such a queer state can
not curb my iinpatience and reckless
ness. Nothing can distract my at
tention; even my finger ends Jingle
to touch You. 1t is very absurd, is it
NOT? But time and l can't help it
Your plan of sending me off to Aber-
gavenny 20 remain two or three
months would have been nothing
short of actual tiendism. All that
has ever been written about the pain
of separation is quite tame compared
with the reality.
Time, when l pass it with si.v sweetness,
| Flies like the courser to the goal;
| Where, alas will be its .ieetness
! When thou ar. pared from my soul"
Mrs. M'Lean is very mild indeed.
