What a Volcano Can Do.

Cotapaxi, in 1873, threw its fiery rockets
5000 feet above its crater, while in 1851
the blazing mass, struggling for an outlet
rOared so that its awful voice was heard at
a distance gilmore than 600 miles In 1897
the crater of Tunguragua, one of the great
peaks of the Andes, flung out torrents of
mud which damned up the rivers, opened
new lakes, and in vallews l 900 feet wide
made deposits 600 feet deep. The stream
from Vesuvius, which, in 1877, passed
through Tore del Greco, contained 33 900
600 cubic feet of solid matter, and in 1893
when Tore del Greco was destroyed Il
second time, the mass of lava amounted to
45,000,000 cubic feet. In 1850 4Etna
poured forth flood which covered 81
l 900 900 900 cubit feet On this occa-
sion the land and scoria formed the Monte
Rosini near Nicholosa, cone of two miles
in circumference, and 1000 feet high
The stream thrown out by Htna in 1910
was in motion at the rate of a yard day
for nine months after the eruption; and it
is on record that the lava of the same
mountain, after a terrible eruption, was not
thoroughly cool and consolidated for ten
years after the event In the eruption of
Vesuvius, A d. 70, the scoria and ashes
vomited forth far exceeded the entire bulk
of the mountain; while in 1860 Etna dis
gorged 20 times its own mass. Vesuvius
has sent its ashes as far as Constantinople,
Syria, and Egypt; it hurled stones eight
pounds in weight to Pompeii, distance of
six miles, where similar masses were tossed
up 1000 feet above the summit. Cotapaxi
has projected block of 100 cubic yards in
volume distance of nine miles, and Sum-
bawg, in 1915, during the most terrible
eruption on record, sent its ashes as far as
Java; distance of three hundred miles of
surface, and out of population of $4,000
souls only 20 escaped

Our Cl,ildrss.

OF all the sins to which mankind yields
itself, we have Thought that none was
80. unnatural and inexcusable as the
tn%ggratitude and disrespect of ofdef,
children toward their parents. And
although the undutiful and selfish
daughter is met with all too frequently,
sons are still oftener found defYing the
authority of father and ignoring moth
way. And the air of superiority these
ingrates assume toward the women that
are SO unfortunate as to have given
them being is too exasperating to con-
slider with any degree of patience. Nor
is there any need, as far as the present
generation is concerned, that we should
exert ourselves to speak gently. For
just as certainly as you find a young
man who is dead to all sense of respect
and loving Difference due the mother
whose love he has never doubted, just
so surely you will find a man without
any nice appreciation of honor in other
directions. And it will be impossible
to reach his conscience by any form Of
appeal. But here, as in almost all
other reforms, our hope is the young.
And in considering this subject for a
moment, we must acknowledge that
children are not alone to blame for
their faults in this direction; mothers
have their share and fathers a still
larger n in many instances. If the
little boy is allowed to believe from
his fathers precept of example
that to be gruH and blunt at,
home is manly, the mother will find it q
most difficult task to counterfeit this in
~iuence and secure q respectful demean-
or toward herself. But it is a duty that
she owes to herself as well as to the
child, and if she would succeed in rear
ing dutiful children who will honor her
old age, she must begin early and allow
nothing to tempt her from her purpose
for a day. And in dealing with her
son she should be even more exacting
in this matter than with the daughters
Not because they are naturally more
perverse or headstrong; for this we do
not believe; but because all the outside
influences that are brought to bear on.
the boys will be in favor of rebellion
against authority, while with the girl it.
will be either the reverse or neutral. In
recommending this course with chill
dren, we would not be understood to
favor harsh treatment but reasonable.
For genuine respect will be much easier
won if the mother controls herself and
impresses her children with the idea
that she acts from principle, instead of
allowing herself to be controlled by inn
pulse. And too much love or too much
expression of it never yet spoiled =
child, it is undue indulgence that does
that, and is what the mother, should
guard against. She must have q we'll
defined idea of what is just to expect of
her child, and work to that as the build
er does to his plan, if she would devel-
op a respectful, self-respecting charac-

ne q come to save was slung over his
shoulder. The brave fellow seemed to
have doubts of the strength of his i'm
promptu rope, for he rested his own
weight upon the nearly red-hotwater-
pipe during those twelve perilous feet
supporting Miss Newsome by the arm
which clutched the sheet. Slowly, very
slowly theydescended, but at last his feet
touched the topmost rung of the escape.
Was it a dream that / heard . voice
high above me say, "Hall right,
Missy" before q burst of cheering rang
out which drowned every other sound.
Miss Cissy., more frightened than
hurt, was delivered over into her half
distracted fathers care, while I helped
to lift Gentleman Joe from the escape.
He lay painting upon the ground, burn
ed and scorched, his sporting coat tat
tered and charred, while strangely
enough, the prismatic necktie and
horseshoe pin had escaped the general
destruction, SO as to present an absurd
oasis amid the desert around. He Law
without speaking or moving until Cissy
Newsome was led past him on her. way
to a cab. Then he made.a feeble ges-
ture with his hand, which indicated that
he wished to speak with her, and she
stopped over him. No other ear but
mine caught that whisper.
"Don't fret, MISS" he said, "'cause
it was the wrong boss came in. He's a
good feller-a deal better than me-
and did as much,r but hadn't the luck"
A vulgar little speech, but Cissy's
eyes got very moist as she listened, and
I'm not sure that mine didn't, too.
The office was sadly reduced after
that. With Welstead and the Gentle
man on the sick list, there were only
four OF us at the desk, and the reaction
from the excitement had left us anything
but lively. 1 can remember only one
remark ventured upon during that first
day. The dreary scratching of pens
had lasted unbroken for over an hour,
when little Sparkins looked up from his
ledger.
81 suppose you would call him gen-
tleman, after ALL" he said.
"a very much better one than you
will ever be-" growled Dullan, and we
relapsed into the scratching of pens"
l was present at the wedding of
Charley Welstead and Cissy Newsome,
when, after a long delay, it was finally
celebrated. By the original arrange
ment I was to have figured as best man,
but my post of honor was handed over
to a certain very ugly young man whose
appearance suggested the idea that he
had spent the last few weeks in a
mustard poultice. Unromantic as it
may seem, this youth not only went
through his duties with all the non
chalance in the world, but danced at the
subsequent festivities with the greatest
vigor and grace. It is commonly ru-
mored that this activity of his, combined
with sundry interesting anecdotes con-
corning horses and dogs, have so pre-
vailed upon the heart Of a susceptible
young lady that there is every proba-
bility Of u having a repetition of the
marriage ceremony. Should it be so, I
trust that 1 may at last revert to my
original position as best man.-AH the
