THE ALASKA ERUPTION.
Details of the Volcanic Disturbances mt Mt.
Augustine-A Mountain Split in Two.

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 28.-Prof. Davidson
received from Alaska to-day the particulars
of the volcanic disturbance in October last
near the entrance of Cooks inlet. On the
morning of the 9th of October a settlement
of fishermen on English bay heard a heavy
report. Looking in the direction OF the
sound, they saw immense volumes of smoke
and flame suddenly burst forth from the
summit of Mount Augustine. The sky be-
came obscure a few hours after, and great
quantities of pumice dust began to fall, some
fine and smooth, some gritty. AT $3.50 on the
same day an earthquake wave thirty feet high
came rushing over the hamlet, sweeping away
all boats, and d~eluging the houses. The tide
at the time being low: saved the settlement
from utter destruction. This was followed
by two other waves, about eighteen feet
high, which were succeeded at i~rregular in
tervals bv others Pumice ashes fell to a
depth Of five inches, making the day so dark
that lamps had to be lit. At night the sur-
rounding country was Illuminated by the
flames from the crater. Ordinarily Mount
Augustine is covered with snow. This year
it is completely bare. An examination after
the disturbances had subsidized found
the mountain split in two from the
base to the summit. The northern slope
had fallen to a level of the surrounding
cliffs. simultaneously with the eruption
was the creation of a new island in the pas
sage between Chernaboura island and the
mainland seventy-five feet high and a mile
and a half long. The violence of the vol
canic action was so great that two extinct
volcanoes on the peninsula o. Alaska lying
to the west of the active volcano Hanna,
1000 feet high, burst into activity, emitting
immense volumes of smoke and dust. The
flames were. visible at night. 1t is stated
that the wives of a party OF Aleut Indians,
engaged in that locality in otter hunting, be-
came afraid of the subterranean noises. re-
fused to stay, and returned home. None of
those who remained can be found.

modern languages to-day discussed the reso-

the meeting that colleges should introduce a
system of conversation in German and
French, but should not interfere with a the

feeling was hat the convention should not
as yet take any practical action, but merely
interchange ideas on the subject. The reso-
luton was finally tabled.

let die; while others, it may be, though en-
dowed with genius and high intellect were
painfully fecked with weaknesses, err
rors and sinful human frailties. When
death comes in single twelve month and
takes away from human activities such
noted ones as Carlyle, Emerson, Longfel-
low, Darwin, Dore, Rossetti, Wagner,
Gambetta, and more recently Gov
ernor Morgan and William Z. Dodge, of
New York; Governor Jewell, of Connect
cut; Governor Smith, of Wisconsin,; Govern
or Stephens, of Georgia, and many others
of more local or general renown, how are
we impressed with life's uncertainty, and
how emphatically are we warned, that the
grave, too, is our goal, and will soon, the
All-knowing One alone knows, how soon,
be reached. In the midst of the
worlds teeming, bustling, striving, crowd
ing millions, as the aged pilgrim looks
back over the way he has come, and calls
to mind the absent, returnless ones whom
he has known personally, or by fame, many
of whom he has admired and loved,
how can he but feel lonely as in
a changed and empty world, empty to him
at least, of all that once, like a vision of
enchantment, awakened his intensest in
terest and fired his ambition? "Gone! All
gomez is the despairing wall echoing for
him through a changed, lonely and empty
world!
