In East Africa nearly every woman
wears the pelele. When she is little
girl a small hole is pierced through the
middle of her upper lip. and into this
is pressed wooden pin to prevent the
puncture from closing up. After a
time this is changed for a larger pin,
and so on till the hole is big enough to
admit ring. In proportion as the
pelele is made gradually larger, so the
lip enlarges and comes to look like
snout. An average specimen measures
one and one-fourth inches in diameter
and almost an inch in length. When
she becomes Il widow fashion compels
her to take out her pelele, the lip falls,
and the great round hole, called
luperic, shows the teeth and jaw quite
plainly, making her hideous.

VOLCANIC EXPLOSIONS IN THE
NORTH.

San Francisco, December %.
Professor Davidson received from
Alaska to-day particulars of the volcanic
disturbances in October last, near the en-
trance to Cooks Inlet. On the morning
of October a settlement of fisherman at
English Bay heard heavy report, and
looking in the direction of the sound, saw
immense volumes of smoke and flame
suddenly burst forth from the summit OF
Mount Augustin. The sky became OBJ
scured few hours after, and great
quantities Of pumice dust began to fall,
some fine and smooth and some gritty.
At $3.50 the same day an earthquake
wave, thirty feet high, came rushing in
over this hamlet, sweeping away all the
boats and deluging the houses. The
tide at the time being low, saved the set
Element from utter destruction. This
was followed by two other waves, about
eighteen feet high, which in turn were
succeeded at regular intervals by others.
pumice ashes fell to the depth of five
inches, making the day 50 dark that
lamps had to be lit At night the sur
rounding country was illuminated
by flames from the crater. Ordinarily
Mount Augustin is covered with snow,
but this year it was completely bare.
Examination after the disturbances sub
sided found the mountain split in two
from base to summit, and the northern
slope had fallen to level with the sur.
rounding cliffs. Simultaneous with the
eruption was the creating of a new island
in the passage between Chernaboura Island
and the mainland, seventy five feet high
and mile and half long. The violence
of the volcanic action was so great that
| two extinct volcanoes on the Peninsula OF
Alaska, lying to the west, with the &C.
tive volcano of Hanna, $4,000 feet high
burst into activity, emitting immense
volumes of smoke and dust, while flames
were visible at night. 1t is stated that
the wives of party of Alent Indians en-.
gagged in that locality in otter hunting
became afraid OF the subterranean noises,
refused to stay and returned home.
None of those who remained can be
| found.

VERY YOUNG QUARTZ .
carson Appeal

1t il generally accepted theory that
quartz, sandstone, slate, etc., are geologi-
cal formations which require thousands
of years to form. A few days ago in
Virginia City conductor Havenor showed
the editor of the Appeal specimen of
quartz which never could existed over
fifteen years ago. The quartz in ques-
ton was taken out Of the Yellow Jacket
mine from between the timbers. The
timbers were put in fifteen years ago,
and the material forming the quartz had
apparently oozed through crack and
adhered to the timber. 1t was about
the size and had the appearance of a
caulihower. There was mass rather
soft and crumbling to the touch, and in
places woven together like threads; and
in this mass, and a part of it, were three
distinct and perfectly formed quartz
crystals. The mass had been pushed
through the crack while in a plastic state
and then formed in the bunch described.
The specimen in the possession of Mr..
Havenor shows where it adhered to the
timber.
He also has a piece of sandstone taken
from the creek at Stevens mill near Day
ton The mill was built twelve years
ago, and portion Of a wooden stake
driven into the ground at the time is
solidly imbedded in the sandstone, which
is as firm and hard as any sandstone o.
the old sandstone period. There is .
rusty nail in the wedge.
About twenty years ago spring was
dug on American Flat Week before
last it was found that hard stratifca
ton of slate had formed On the bottom
1t was broken up with an AK and Mr.
Havenor secured some good specimens
The slate was half an inch thich, perfect
ly hard and brittle, and had adapted
itself to the conformation of the spring
where it had formed like scales OH ,
teakettle.
Will some geologist explain how thu
theory will hold water that all thos,
classes Of rock are the result of thou
sands of years of chemical action?
