What YoIcanos Are Not.

"What is a volcanoe" This is a
familiar question, often addressed to us
n our youth, which "Catechisms of
Universal knowledge" and similar school
manuals have taught us to reply to in
some such terms as the following
"a volcano is burning mountain,
rom the summit of which issues smoke
and flames"
This description, says Professor Judd,
IS not merely incomplete and inadequate
rs whole, but each individual PROPOSE
tion of which it is made up is grossly in
adequate and, what is worse, perversely
misleading.
In the first place, the action which
takes place at volcanoes is not "burn-
ing, " or combustion, and bears, indeed,
40 relation whatever to that we'll known
process. Nor are volcanoes necessarily
" mountains" at all essentially, they
are just the reverse namely, holes in the
earth's crust, or outer portion, by means
Of which a communication is kept up
between the surface and the interior of
our globe. When mountains do exist at
centers of volcanic activity, they are
simply the heaps of materials thrown
out Of these holes, and must, therefore,
be regarded not as the causes, but as the
consequences OF volcanic action. Neither
does this action always take place at the
g submits" Of volcanic mountains when
such exist, for eruptions occur quite as
frequently on their sides or at their
bases. That, too, which popular fancy
regards as Z" smoke" is really condensing
steam or watery vapor, and the supposed
raging g flames" are nothing more than
the glowing light of a mass of molten
material reflected from these vapor
clouds.
The name of volcano has been Dor
rowed from the mountain Vulcano, in the
Lapari Islands, where the ancients be-
heVed that Hephestus, or Vulcan, had
his forge. Volcanic phenomena have
been at all times regarded with a super
stitious awe, which has resulted In the
generation of such myths as the one
just mentioned, or of that in which
Etna was said to have been formed by
the mountains, under which an angry
god had buried the rebellious Typhon.
These stories changed their form, but
not their essence, under a Christian
dispensation, and Vulcano became re-
garded as the place Of punishment OF
the Arian Emperor Theodosius, and
Etna as that of Anne Boleyn, who had
sinned by perverting the faith of King

Proceeding to expound the law on the sub
ject of malice, reading from the 1880 edition Of
Archibald's g Criminal Practice, Porter dwelt
upon the generalization Of Gaiteau. Referring
to his lyings in wait and to his lodging the

prehension that the law was stronger than
Guiteau. Guiteau seems to think that he's
stronger than the law.

but God Almighty is stronger than the law"
said Guiteau, Sullenly.

that he was predestined to remove the Presi-

predestined to be hung for it. Speaking again
of his interruptions, and Of the promptings of
his family, Porter said he had a supreme con-

assassin.
Porter then took up the authorities cited by
the defense, pronouncing them either misre-
ported or bad law from obscure benches.
Judge Porter concluded his mastery
argument by reading the now famous let
ter of President Garfield to Judge Payne
in which he complimented and thanked him
for brushing away the network of sophistres
with which it has of late years been customary
to develop the plea of insanity when set up in
excuse for crimes.
Judge Cox decided that jurisdiction is COM
plete at the place where wound is inflicted,
and that an appreciation of the difference be-
tween right and wrong is the correct test of
insanity. nl4

DISASTROUS ACCIDENTS.
A Panic in Peoria Church Causes

A Panic in a Peoria Church Causes
the Death OF Several People.
E During the funeral of the Rev. Simon
Kuhlehenhoelter, at Salem Evangelical Church,
in Peoria, ILL.,, frightful panic occurred. In
The rush for the street some forty persons were
injured, six, all ladies' seriously. The
church is one of the largest in the city, and
was filed with the friends of the deceased. All
the seats were filed and the standing-room in
the aisles and about the doors was occupied.
Soon after the services commenced tie
panic occurred It is said that seat In
the gallery broke down. The people in the
vicinity thought the gallery was giving away,
and the rush commenced. Men, women and
children poured out of the doors leading
from the main floor and the gallery into the
ball leading to the street. All efforts to stop
them were fruitless. The people were frantic
and would listen to nothing. In less than two
minutes the doorway was blocked up, and the
scene that followed was Understandable. The
women who were caught in the crowd were
thrown down and trampled upon. Their shTieks
and the shouting of the men, who seemed to be
frightened out of their senses, were fearful. For
fully ten minutes the doorway was blocked up,
and, during the greater portion of this time,
half dozen women lay on the steps under the
feet of the frightened crowd. A few men who
had lost their scare went to work heroically to
rescue the women, and succeeded in getting
them out after they had been walked over by
a large number of men. AS fast as taken out
the victims were taken to adjoining houses and
cared for. Forty persons were injured, four or
more fatally, others being manned for life,

AhNnf BOYS.

Mary A. Livermore in recent address
said: The boy of to-day is not receiving
the proper home culture. Children slip
away from paternal care. This is due to
the rigorous old-time home culture.
Education must be inculcated by the
mother. In Wales, England, the charac-
ter of the mother is inquired for as
recommendation for the son. The aver
age boy, noisy. impeh2ous, detesting
home work, bankrupt Ia education and
aodger of churches and other pious
places, yet has a fathomless tHpderness
for his mother, but he wants no s2ecta-
tor He is characterized by passionate
LOYALTY to whatever he espouses, and
high sense of honor to which appeal can
safely be made in most cases. One thing
in his teaching is imperative-moral
purity. Let the mother inculcate this
with loving care, putting aside false
notions of modesty and all prudishness.
Let us have done with the belief IN the
saying, "Wild oats must some tine be
sowed." He who thus sows must In
evitably reap a similar harvest. Every
boy should be trained to respect woman
hood. Nothing so much adorns man
hood as his respect for woman. TIE boy
should be trained in politeIess. This
has commercial value nowadays. He
makes his way in the world easier for
pleasing address. There is no reason why
the boy of to-day should not be taught
the ordinary rules of etiquette. Good
manners are to man what beauty Is to
a woman. But best of all, train boys In
honor, in integrity and trustworthiness.
Every boy should have an industrial oc-
cupation, and this should be in harmony
with his tastes. So with girls. To sum
it all up, train the boy into manliness,
that standard of manliness that combines
the strongest virtues with the gentlest
weakness. Let him be like a hand Of
iron in glove of velvet. There is moth
ing higher or nobler than this.

A good story is told of Mr.. Raymond
and the Lotos Club. The comedian
persuaded number of the members of
the club to appear on the stage, for one
night only, as jurors in the trial scene in
ga Gilded Age" conditionally that their
names should not be known. Prior to
the commencement of the piece, it be-
came known that the newspapers had
been furnished with full list of the
amateurs, who, nevertheless, instead of
Withdrawing from their engagement,
determined to punish Raymond in an
other way. The entire point of the last
scene in the play depends upon the jury
promptly delivering a verdict of "Not
Guiltyw but when the time came, Fore
man Shaw very solemnly answered,
"Guiltyw
There was pause, dead silence, and
then roar of laughter from the large
audience.
"Oh, Foremanr' gasped Raymond,
.'You don't mean it--you mean right the
other. way"
''Guiltyl" repeated the foreman, and
the action of the play was completely
stopped.
Raymond saw it would be Of no avail
to poll the jury; they were evidently
unanimous in sticking to their verdict.
81 move, your honor" cried he, ''that
that jury be allowed to retire for consul
tation," and then. in whisper, entreat-
ed the iokers to ''let up"
The appeal was successful. The fore
man gravely informed the court that the
jury desired to changed their verdict to
onesof ''Not Guilty" the supers shouted,
the heroine was indicated, the audi
ence applauded, and the curtain fell.
