Ascent of Mount Hecla by "A Lady.
london MINES, JannarY !.

LONDON 1lules, January /.
Miss Tn. Peturson, q daughter of the
Bishop of Reykjavik, Iceland, made an
ascent of the great volcano, Hecla, be-
fore the end of the Summer. for the
purpose of making geological observa-
tons. The temperature of the sides OF
the larger craters she found had recent
ly undergone considerable increase;
and from a number of very small fis-
sures and holes on these craters there
arose heavy white columns OF vapor, the
sulphurous character of which was
much stronger than for long time past.
From these circumstances it is inferred
that a new eruption of the volcano is
probably to be expected. This is con
sidered. the more likely, as, since the
last eruption, the period of quiescence
usually observed since The outbreak of
Hecla has already been long since ex-
ceeded. The last eruption took place
in the year 1915. At that time, shortly
before the outburst of flame, lava, and
ashes, there was likewise observed a
considerable rise in the temperature of
the craters. An earthquake took place
last September in the southern position
of the island, and, as the direction of its
motion was as though it set out from
Hecla, it is not improbable that it had
some casual connection with the recent
changes observed on the volcano. In
Reykjavik, too, rather smart shocks
were felt, but no injury was done. In
the southeast, however, their violence
was less innocent, a number of build
ings having been destroyed at Vigdisar-
vO!lir, near Krisurvik.

SMOKE NOT. CHEAP CIGARS.
Some of the Poisonous Ingredients
Found in Them by Chemists.
Caterer.


To the world in general cigar is
merely a tightly rolled packet having
brittle fragments of dry leaves within,
and smooth, silky leaf for its outer
wrapper. When it is burnt and the
pleasantly favored smoke is inhaled,
the habitual smoker claims for it a
soothing luxury that quiets the irritable
organism, relieves WEAKNESS and en-
tees repose. Science, scouting SO SUI
perficial a description, examines first
the smoke, second the leaf. third the
ash. In the smoke is discovered water
in vaporiuus state, SCOT tree carbon),
carbon;c oxide, and vaporous sub
stance condensable into oily nicotine
These are the general divisions, which
chemists have still further split up, and
in so doing have found acetic, formic,
butyrid, valerie, and propionic acids,
prussic acid, creosote and carbolic acid,
ommonia, sulphureted hydrogen, pyri-
dine, viridine, picoline, lutidine, COLO
dine, parvoline, corodine and rubidene.
These last are series of oily bases be-
longing to the homologues OF anilne,
first discovered in coal tar.
Applying chemical tests to the leaves,
other chemists have found nicotia, to-
bacco, camphor or nicotianine (about
which not much is known, bitter ex-
tractive matter, gum chlorophyl, malate
of lime, sundry albuminoids, malic
acid, woody fiber and various salts.
The fea.hery white ash, which in its CO.
hesion and whiteness is indicative Of
the good cigar, yields potash, soda,
magnesia, lime, phosphoric acid, sui
phuric acid, silica and chlorine. The
ingredients extracta bic from a poor and
cheap cigar would be fearful and won
eerful to contemplate. Here is list
from parliamentary report on adul-
terations in tobacco: Sugar, alumni,
lime, -four or meal, rhubarb leaves,
saltpetre, fuller's earth, starch, malt
commings, chromate OF lead, peat
moss, molasses, burdock leaves, COM
mon salt, endive leaves, lampblack,
gum, red dye, black dye composed Of
vegetable red and licorice, scraps of
newspaper, cinnamon stick, cabbage
leaves and straw brown paper.

How a Farmer Knew His Dog.
Forest and Stream.

Some years ago a farmer in Washing
ton recognized a.ine setter that had been
given to him when pup, in the street.
He seized his lost dog. and was assailed
by the person who had got possession Oh
him.
"This is my dog, gentlemen, and you
don't take him from me unless you
take my life at the same time
Finally the parties were taken before
a magistrate.
"Jedge, this is my dog, and | can
prove it to you" So he stopped
pinched up the skin of the chest, before
the fore leg. made straight incision
with a knife, and took out y bird-shot
which he showed to the judge. and
which had certain knife-marks or crosse:
on it.
"Jedge, this pup was given to me
three years ago by Gus T, and Mr.
-, the grocer on / street, at the cor.
nor, can tell you that as soon as | got
the dog took him to his store, marked
shot, and put it under his skin, first
making three crosses with my knife on
the lead"
After this the oaths of the other party
that he had raised the dog from pur
were OF no avail. The farmer took M

client who "puts his foot in it,"

this expression is derived from the way

Plutarch, in his life of Argesileus,
King OF Sparta, gives us the origin Of a
quaint and familiar expression.
On certain occasion an ambassador
from Epirus, on diplomatic mission,
was shown by the king over his capi-
tai. The ambassador knew of the mon
arch's fame-knew him that, though
only nominal King of Sparta, he was
yet ruler of Greece-and he had looked
to see massive walls rearing aloft their
embattled towers for the defense of the
town; but he found nothing of the kind.
He marveled much at this, and spoke
of it to the king.

walls reared for defense. Why is this ?'
Indeed, Sir Ambassador" replied
Angesileus, "thou canst not have
looked carefully. Come with me to-
morrow morning and | will show you
the walls of Sparta"
Accordingly ON the following morn

plains where his army was drawn up

proudly to the serried host, he said:

Yaseline.

A new product made from petroleum
is jelly called "Vaseline," which is OF
the greatest utility in medicine, phar-
macy and for toilet use. Physicians all
over the world have discovered its great
value in the treatment of wounds, burns,
skin diseases, rheumatism, catarrh and
every ailment where liniment is need
ed, and in almost every hospital IN
America and Europe this substance IS
now in constant use, and is acknowledg
ed not only to be the best treatment.
but also one of the most important re-
cent additions to medicine. 1t is rut
up in bottles by the Chesebrough Man
ufacturing Co., OF New York, and as a
family remedy, it is without doubt the
best in use. Its healing and pain allay-
ing qualities being superior to those OF
any known substance, while the speedy
relief it affords for piles and chllblalns
is almost magical. AS an emollient,
Vaseline is way ahead of anything else,
as it renders the skin smooth, soft and
clear, and our lady friends will find it
not only the best, but perhaps the sole
substance which will really preserve and
restore to the complexion the nues of

tIely healthful and beneficial. There
is also made a "Pomade Vaseline,

cited of how by the use of this pomade
thin and failing hair has resumed a Wig

and the pomade are put up in twenty
five cent bottles and are to be found at
all first-class druggists, and we advise
our readers to make trial of this won
derful substance, and we think they will
find its claims to merit not in the least
exaggerated.

WHAT Is A COLD!
II NAV he Avoided by SheerW:I Power!

1t May be Avoided by sheerW.Il Power!
1t is startling to discover, says the
London Lancet, how little we know about
the commoner forms of disease. For
example, "cold"; what is it? How is
it produced, and in what does it consistt
1t is easy to say cold is chill. A chill
of what part of the organism? We
know by daily experience that the body
as a whole or any of its parts may be
reduced to considerably lower tenn
perature than will suffice to give man
q cold if the so-called chill be inflicted
upon the sure face suddenly: 1t is then,
the suddeness of q reduction of tenn.
perature that causes the cold? 1t would
be straight if it were SO, because few of
the most susceptible of morals would
take cold from simply handling piece
of cold metal or accidental contact with
ice. The truth would seem to be that
we call cold takirg is the result of q
sufficient impression of cold to reduce
the vital energy Ofnerve centres presid-
ing over the function in special organs.
If this be the fact, it is easy to see why
nature has provided the stimulus of a
strong fit of sneezlng to rouse the dor
mant centres and enable them at once
to resume work and avoid evil conse-
quences. This explains why the worst
effects of cold do not as a rule, follow
upon "chilr' which excites much
sneezing. Shivering is less effective
CONFUSION to restore the paralyzed ner-
vous energy, but in lower degree it
may answer the same purpose. The
shivering that results from the effect Of
a poison on the nervous centres is a
totally different matter. We speak
only of the quick muscular agitation
and teeth-chattering which occur when
ever the body is exposed to cold, and
evil results do no ensue. 1t follows
from what we have said that the natural
indication to ward off the effects of a
chill is to restore the vital energy of the
nerve centres, and there is no more
potent influence by which to attain this
object than a strong and sustained effort
of the will. The man who resolves not
to take cold seldom does
