Remarkable Phenomenon of the
Coast OF the Hawaiian Islands.

The Honolulu Gazette, of February %,
contains an account Of remarkable
submarine volcano outbreak in Keala-
keakana Bay, near the entrance of the
harbor. Natives report that the erup-
ion occurred at 3 o'clock on the morning
of the Oath, appearing like innumerable
red, blue, and green lights. In the
afternoon several boats visited the erup-
ton, cruising over the most active part,
where the water was in state of pecu-
liar activity, boiling and appearing as If
passing over rapids or very much like
the water at He'll Gate at New York.
Blocks of lava two feet square came up
from below, frequently striking and jar
ring the boats. As the lava was quite
soft no harm was done. Nearly all the
pieces oD reaching the surface were red
hot, emitting steam and gas strongly
sulphurous. A rumbling sound was heard,
like that of rocks in freshet, caused no
doubt by the eruption of lava from the
submarine crater, which is supposed to
be a crack or line of rupture extending
at least mile from the shore. Another
rupture, doubtless continuation of the
submarine fissure, was traced inland
from the shore nearly three miles, vary.
ing in width from q few inches to three
feet. In some places water was seen
pouring down into the abyss below.
A severe shock Of earthquake was felt
by those living at Kaowaloa and Kell
during the night of the eruption, which
must have preceded the outbreak. II
was quite severe, but no damage is re-

General Pleasanton and His Critics

General Pleasanton has written let
ter in reply to a recent article in the
Scientific american condemning the blue
glass theory, in which he reiterates his
former position, and restates some of the
results of his Investigations. He says
the commissioners of patents of the
United States and Canada sent experts
to his farm, and satisfied themselves as to
the virtues of the blue ray, unhesitat-
ingly granting him patents for his discov-
cry. incidentally he replies to some
scientists who have questioned his
philosophy without having attempted to
understand it. Some writers have held
that in the case of plants the blue ray
was esse ntial for termination, the yellow
for growth of stalks, branches and leaves,
and the red for maturity of the point,
but General PleasantOn's experiments
do not confirm this theory. BY these he
has obtained results that show that
termination of the seeds, the develop
ment of the leaves, branches and stems,
the formation of fruit buds, the hover
ing and subsequently maturity of the
fruit, were all produced by the action OF
the associated blue and white lights. In
the sixteen years during which his ex-
periments have been conducted, his gy ape
vines have every year developed agr with
of fifty feetin the season Of growth, mAtur.
ing their wood, forming their fruit buds
for the ensuing season, and have been
more healthy and vigorous than any other
vines of which he had any knowledge.
He says further that he seeks investiga-
ton into the causes that have produced
these remarkable phenomena, and If any
more satisfactory than his, or more in
harmony with any undisputed laws Of
physics can be presented, he will well
come such theories with great satisfac-
tion

Terrible COlliery Explosion.
New York Commercial Advertiser.


The cable news relative to the ex.
plosion which took place in the Worces-
ter Colliery, near Swansea, England,
and which caused the death of at least
twenty-five miners, brings the mind
back to the more recent theories as to
the cause of colliery explosions. In his
evidence before the Treasury Committee
on Meteorology, Mr.. Scott, Director of
the London Meteorological Office, assert
ed that those explosions are due more
often to meteorological than to careless
ness or other causes. This is almost ex-
actly what we have said formerly, when
calling attention to the fact that ex-
plosions often occur on Mondays, that is
after q whole day, Sunday, during
which infammable gases have had time
to be condensed, ready for mischief
when the shafts are opened on Monday,
and masses of outside air or the care
lessness of miner are given full play.
Recent investigations carried out by
Messrs. Scott and Galloway, lead to the
belief that nearly seventy-five per cent.
Of col)iery explosions are connected
more or less directly with meteorological
causes, some fifty per cent. being con-
nected with changes of pressure. and
about twenty-five per cent. being trace
able to changes of temperature. These
British engineers advice the use of at
mospheric warnings, which would have,
perhaps, for collieries, all the practical
results which the system OF American
signals secure for the protection oi
European shipping, which Is notified in
due time of the direction taken by
storms which have already broken upor
this continent.

A Case OF EmbOlism.

Mr.. Theodore Farrell, prominent
business man of Schenectady, suffered
the amputation of his right leg above the
knee, under rather uncommon circum-
stances. 1t appears that one day while
passing through street o. ehat city he
felt q great pain in the sole of his right
foot. He could not step upon 1t and had
to be assisted to his residence. A physi-
clan being called, pronounced Mr.. Far
relrs ailment to be that of embolsm, or
the plugging up Of an artery, thus pre-
venting the circulation of blood through
the limb. The foot soon became perfectly
dormant, while an excruciating pain
kept creeping toward the knee despite
the best efforts of the several physicians
who endeavored TO prevent 1t. -Four
days after the first symptoms Of the COM
plaint the disease had reached the knee,
and the foot and portions of the leg had
become gangrenous.

A Boys Suicide.
lowensboro Special to Evansville Courie

lOwensboro Special to evansville Courier'J
Little Burr Triplett, aged nine years,
and the con of Mrs. Helen ID. Triplett, of
this city, committed suicide by hanging
himself with rope. The cause of the
act was that he applied to his mother
for an apple, which being refused, he be-
came very angry, and going to the
kitchen secured piece of clothes-line
and repaired to the backyard, where he
securely tied one end of the line to a
tree, and making moose at the other
end, slipped 1t over his neck and swung
until dead. Burr was bright little fei.
low, and great favorite with every one.
1t is believed he was only attempting to
frighten his mother into a com pliauce
with his demand, and had no intention
Of taking his own life, but he went too
far.
The Triplett family are well known in
this city. A very strange coincidence
in connection with the suicide is the
fact that Burr Triplett, the father of the
boy, who died some years ago, Is supposed
TO have killed himself by taking poison
as he was found dead in his bed.

A Strange Career.

Mrs. Caroline Elizabeth Sarah Norton
who was married in England lately at
the age of seventy-one to Sir William
Sterling Maxwell, is a woman who has
passed through remarkable career. She
Is the author of the famous rhythmic
triumph, Bingen on the Rhine," and of
other literary productions of merit. Her
father was the son of Richard Bfinsley
Sheridan, and her mother was the grand
daughter of the Earl of Antrim.
In July, 1927, she was married to
George Chapple Norton, brother of the
present Lord Grantley. The union was
not happy one, and in 1886 quarrel
occurred under circumstances which ex-
cited much public comment. She was
accused of adultery with Lord Melbourne,
then Prime Minister, but was acquitted
after an exciting public trial. The
scandal was one Of the most remarkable
in the history of the English aristocracy.
In her lines "To the Duchess of Suther-
land" Mrs. Norton feelingly alludes to
the ISLANDERS to which she was subjected
on this occasion. Her first volume of
poems, comprising among others "The
Sorrows of Rosalie," written in her
seventeenth year, appeared anonymously
in 1929, and met with general favor.
"The Undyipg One," founded on the
legend ofthe "Wandering Jew" achieved
still greater success. 1t was followed
by GA Voice from the Factories" 1.-The
Dream and Other Poems," and "The
Child of the Islands" In the last men,
toned poem she calls the attention of
the Prince Of Wales to the want of COM
munication and sympathy between the
higher and lower classes of society.
Mrs. Norton has interested hersel
warmly in several social problems, par
ticularly such as effect the condition of
the poor and the position of women, and
has written English Laws for English
Women in the Nineteenth Century," "a
Letter TO the Queen on Lord Chancellor
Cranworth's Marriage and Divorce Bill"
and series of letters to the Times on
philanthropic subjects.
In prose she has also published two
novels, "The Wife and Woman's Re-
ward" and "Stuart of Dunleith, story
of modern Times" which gave evidence
of great powers as novelist. Mrs. Nor
ton is the author of "Aunt Carry's Bal
lads" q Christian book for children; and
she has written largely for annuals and
magazines.
Mrs. Norton was described by Mrs.
Sedgwick, in "Her Letters from Abroad" /"
AZ the perfection of intellectual and
physical beauty, uniting masculine force
with feminine delicacy. Her marriage
at the age of three score and ten Is a
singular step, and will arouse general
comment. II seems awkward to think
OF a woman as bride now, who had be-
come famous as an autboress before the
death OF George Nv, and who was the
chief figure in scandal which agitated
all Christeniom nearly half century
ago,

Diphtheria and Its Cure.

A small quantity of either sulphate o.
iron, tannin, or chlorate of potash. put
dry upon the tongue, and allowed to dis.
solve there, once in every hour, have all
been found to be most efficient remedies
in the early stages of diphtheria. This
terrible disease appears under three vari-
eties of form:
1. There is fever, severe pains in the
back, bones and limbs, and very great
prostratien. There may be no soreness
of the throat, but on examining it small
white specks will be noticed on the tom
sils, but few or none on the rest of the
throat. These cases will recover under
any and every variety of treatment in
four to six days. The great, but false,
reputation of many remedies and physi-
clans, is based upon the necessarily
favorable results OF these cases.
2. Large patches of false membrane
will be observed, both on the tonsils and
back of the throat; but the glands of
the neck do not become swollen. The
majority of these cases will also recover
under very simple treatment, unless the
disease extends down to the windpipe,
which it rarely does.
3. Ihe malignant dlphtherla, with
swelling of the glands of the neck and
under the jaw, profuse and often offensive
exudations in the mouth and throat,
more or less discharge from the nostrils.
Chlorate of potash is disinfectant &c
we'll as curative remedy, and if given
pure and dry upon the tongue, every
hour, night and day, will rarely disap-
point the practitioner. A small dose,
every night, may act as a preventive
remedy. Sometimes tannin may be
given more readily than the chlorate of
potash. The sulphate of iron is rather
more irritant, and must be given in
smaller quantities. The main points in
the use of these remedies are to give
them dry upon the tongue, apd fire.

and day.
