Chimney Rock, Near Northumberland Gives
Forth Smoke from Mysterious Flames.
Some excitement was created in Maryland
during the past week by reports that since
the earthquake of Aug. 81 volumes of smoke
had been seen issuing from crevices in the
neighborhood of Chimney rock, near Me-
chanicstown, Nd, on the Blue Ridge range.
The summit of Chimney rock is very diff
fcult to reach. It is one of the steepest and
widest of the Blue Ridge chain. The sum-
INIT is 200 feet above Mechanicstown. and if
Chimney rock should ever turn into We
suvius that would be the last of the charming
village in which SO many Baltimoreans now
find their summer home.
At the height of 1 100 feet a tornado is
reached. After proceeding about fifty yards
along the plateau the progress of the tourist
is blocked by perpendicular wall of bare
limestone known as table rock This wall
arises from the plateau fully $50 feet on each
side like the ramparts of great fortress. By
perilous climbing the top of Chimney rock is
reached.
There are many curious assures in the rock
These are of an unknown depth. From these
assures columns of smoke havo been seen to
rise from time to time within the last two
years. Landlord Miller and many others have
seen this smoke, and it was plainly ,le.rable
from the intense blue smoky haze that always
covers the Blue Ridge peaks. 1t wis t.c,lse,
black smoke, forming n strong 60: r.-t to
the blue haze.
Mr.. Miller says that when IL. . I'd

years ago, it seemed to start III, Of

made an effort to gauge the depth OF lis
sures, but without success Many " them
were partly filled in with timber and huge
stones, which had been cast down by inGuisi-
tive visitors, but wherever the view was un-
INSTRUCTED it was easy to see that they ex-
tended far below the visible base of the table
rock itself, and probably hundreds of feet into
the depths of the mountain.
Volcano or no volcano, it is plain that active
geological changes had been at work on CHM
ney rock within quite recent period. The
attention of biologists has been called to Chin
ney rock and its queer phenomena, and since
the recent earthquake disturbances, which
somewhat enlarged the assures, the residents
of the valley have not been little agitated
over the idea that the top of Chimney rock
may prove to be Observation-Disclosures Cor.

Some people are so abnormally and
nonstrousIy developed in the direction of
style, OF personal display, that they cannot
accept of any kind Of religious worship
that appears TO be devoid Of it. There are
kinds Of religions and varieties of worship
in which style of certain sOrt-preten-
tious, seif-glorifying. 0rY-seems to be the
proper thing. For those who wish to wor-
ship something in that general way, style is
precisely the thing, and the only thing
about it that is at all fitting or appropriate.
In Christian worship, however, there Is
no room for anything of thi. sOrt-er there
ought not to be. The audience room Of a
church is q place where people assemble TO
worship one who, when he walked upon
the earth. had but one suit of clothes, and
no house of his own. His style should be
the style of those who worship him. From
this it must not be inferred that Christian
must have but one suit of clothes, for al
though this style might be followed in Pal
estine, it could not be in our climate, with
its frequent changes and broad ranges of
temperature. The feature OF Christ 5
garments was simplicity and fit
nes.. He wore just such clothing
as was appropriate We doubt whether he
wore anything that was peculiar to himself
anything like a uniform, to distinguish
himself from other men OF from mankind
at large. He was a man and dressed as a
man: was manly in all respects, and as
man entered into mems feelings aud needs.
He did nothing for display-not even his
miracles, which were performed, purely, in
the interests of humanity.
Hence, vain display of attire or even of
learning OF orstOry, or artistic skill in sing
ing is entirely out Of place in Christian
worship. There should be cleanliness and
nsatnsss in garments worn; and an effort in
