The Appearance of New Submarine
Volcano.


The London Missionary Society for May
has the following account Of the appearance
of the new submarine volcano at the eastern
end Of the Navigators Islands:
On the eth of September last, the natives
Of Tau and Olosenga were surprised by an
INNS Al succession cf earthquakes, there
would be three and four i'll the course OF an
hour. During the night of the 9th there were
in all tbirtv>nine shocks. There was only
slight tremulous motion, but its continuance,
together with an unusual subterranean
"groaning,H as the natives called it, alarmed
ever, body. They knew nothing of volcanic
action in the group from personal experience
or the traditions of their ancertors. Their
| islands, however, are all volcanic. On the
| 18th Of September,a little after noon, a com
motion was observed in the deep blue sea,
about a mile and q half from Olosenga, and
three and half from Tau. 1t appeared like
surf breaking over sunken rock. Some
thought sit might be a whale blowing, and
others that it was shoal of bonlio. This
unusual commotion continued all day, and
By the following morning at daylight volcanic
action was unmistaksble. At first the erup-
tions were at intervals of about an hour. They
went on increasing for two days, and on the
10Th there were fifty in the hour. For three
DAYS longer there was one continued success
sion OF outbursts.
The natives. gazed in amazement at the
great lets of mud and dense columns Of 9th

1908; colored S4,35S. In 1860 the num-

opposed TO each other, have now been fully

Rev A. B. EARLE labors on the Pacific
coast have met with great success. An old
ssage driver of California says his mission is
TO break up the Democratic party. He was
driving one evening into a town where Mr..
Earle was holding forth, and one OF the pas
sengers asked the reason why all the church
es were lighted up? Old Put put fresh
chew of the weed into his mouth, drew long
sigh and replied " It's that revival cuss
that's holdin' them meetins and breaking the

sequence Of sudden rise in the river. In

result was that thirty millions of feet OF logs
passed over the falls and down the river,
valued at not less than $500, 600. The logs
