are merely the reflection of the molten ma
terial within the crater on the clouds above.
The clouds are not smoke, as is popularity
supposed, but they are masses of steam, or
vapor which have become partially condensed
after escaping from the opening of the vol
cano. AS matter OF fact, as at present un
derstood there is nothing at all mysterious
about volcano, especially during its periods
of activity. The energy developed is as com
monplaee as the motive connected with the
running of an engine; that is to say, it is
steam and nothing more.
Anyone can construct a harmless but new
ertheless perfect volcano by taking and fill
ing bottle with some semi-huid substance
and then placing it over flame. AS the water
becomes heated, it causes the material with
which it mixed to assume a rotary motion
and possibly other motions. The substance
expands as the water is turned into steam,
and after little there is a sudden uprising
which reaches up and pours over the mouth
of the bottle. This permits the escape of
the steam and this is followed by a substance
of the overlooking masE. Every housewife,
who has ever cooked mush in a covered ket-
tie has constructed perfect volcano on
small scale, and one which displays all the
operations of Vesuvius, or Stromboll to per-
fiction.
All this is very simple, and with the bene-
VIOLENT purpose of enabling distinguished
cotemporaries to give their entire attention
to the pending campaign, and which de-
mands all their spare space and considera-
tiCn, it is furnished here.

about O'Clock q small black cloud seen
coming from the northwest, and when about fiji
teen miles distant large spout came down out
of the cloud and appeared to raise smoke when
it touched the ground, Ii crossed the Jim river
about ten miles from here. 1t killed twenty
eight cattle. Two young men who had been
threshing saw it coming toward where their
parents lived, and started two mules to
get across its path ahead of it. But they just
came into the edge of it. The Oldest one jumped
off his mule and told his brother to do the same
and lie down on the ground. The first to
jump lay in a dead furrow on piece of break
ing and escaped. He saw his brother jump, but
in five minutes he found him sixty rods away and
every bone in his body broken. Both mules
were killed. The man killed was Angus Killop;
his brothers name is John About

The amount OF newsp per erudition which

marvellous. Among other newspapers which

Chicago which, in treating of the nature of
VOLCANOES, says, they 'are not worlds on FIRE,
but simply dreS burning in mountains aud
further that ''volcauos are simply burning
mountains, or loca; fires This Is in con-
sonance with the definition Of the COM
men-sehool Biographies which define vol
cano as a ''buraing mountain which emits
fame and smoke"
Now, as n matter Of fact, volcano is not
a mountain; It does not burn, aud IL does
not emit either flame or smoke. With the
exception of these particulars, the common
N received definition ~ volcano may be
accepted as being entirely correct. The fact
