The Volcanoes of Japan.

The biggest mountain in Japan is
Fugiyama, an extinct volcano whose
summit is over $4,000 feet above the
sea. Its snowy peak looks down upon
me as write this letter, and the story
of the volcano at Bandisan is still new.
There are now over twenty active and
hundreds of dormant volcanoes in
Japan, and the land is one of earth
quakes. Some persons state that To
kio has an earthquake every day of
the year, but if SO, they are imper-
ceptible, for have been here month
and have noticed but one, which was
only slight shiver of the earth, which
passed away in a minute. The Japan
ese of olden times believed that the
earthquakes came from a gigantic fish,
which, living in the sea, bumped its
nose or struck its tail against the coast
in its anger This shook the earth and
caused it to crack and tremble. Frank

One of our greatest modern scientific
writer's, speaking of the subject Of
literary composition, says: II found
myself so hard to satisfy, SO far as
forms Of expression were concerned,
that to write an article of nine pages ]
took about two months, writing some
times only three or four lines day.
Later, I had so much difficulty in
writing to my own satisfaction that
would retain in my mind the reasoning
Of a whole chapter rather than begin
the work of committing it to paper.

It has come about that nearly every

it is sold at many general stores, and
that the doctor rarely meets an invalid

The fact that William D. Howells,
the novelist, spells in English fashion
has always caused comment from
Americans. Honour" ''parlour, u
etc., are to be found in the Bostonian's
works. The explanation is that he has
his works set up in Great Britain in
order to secure English copyright. But
what he gains in copyright he loses in
wrong spelling.-New York World.
