tempting TO cut OF the Indian supple,
and TO prevent their escape.
Thus matters stood when Capt. Jack re
uuested a peace talk" at tent three
fourths of a mile outside the army lines on
April Ii. He specified that Gen Candy and
Col. Gillen, who WIS in immediate com
mand of the troops, and the commission
ers, Meachem. Dyar and Dr. Thomas
should meet himself. Schonchin and two
or three others. The mediators for this IN
terview were two Modocs, Boston Charley
and Bogus Charley, who entered Canby's
camp on the 10th with the message from
their chief, and Bogus Charley remained
over night. Boston Charley passed the
night In the Lava Beds and on the morning
of the 18th returned to the army camp and
said it was all right. Capt. Jack would be
on hand to negotiate for a reservation
In Canby's camp at the time there was

wife was Modoc loyal to her husbands

frequently visited the Lava Beds, and
about the time that Captain Jacks attl-
tude was apparently for peace she insisted
that he was meditating treachery. On the
night that Bogus Charley and Boston
Charley came in with their proposal she
became more earnest than before and
begged the officers and commissioners to
put no faith in the matter. On the morn
ing of the conference she and her husband
joined in their pleas and declared that II

hour arrived Gen. Candy, Meachem, Dyer.

the picket lines, covered by the eyes of the
army signal officer Col. Gillem did not go.
The camp was under arms, ready for an
emergency
The party had revolvers upon their per-
sons, and on reaching the tent found Cap
tain Jack with five others awaiting them.
The Indians wore pistols at their belts a
circle was formed and the talk" began.
Meachem spoke first of the humane in
tentions of the government; Candy fol-
lowed, reminding the Indians of his past
kindnesses to the red men Several in
suits were offered to the whites by Captain
Jacks followers, but he did not check
them nor apologize. These incidents in
connection with the pistols at the belts OF
the Modocs were taken as an evidence that
"Tobe" had OWNED and told the truth,

headed by Captain Jack and a son Of the
hereditary chief, Schonchin. Orders were
sent by the Indian agent 10 the army to re
move the Modocs to their reservation with
or without force. Accordingly detach-
ment of cavalry made night march, sur
prised Captain Jacks camp while the lead
er and his warriors were in bed, shot down
s or band wounded others, and retired with
a loss of 81 man killed and wounded
The Modocs got away TO the Lava Beds,
massacreing citizens along the route, and
once more the war was on.
The soldiers, 40 strong, attacked the
Lava Beds in January, 1913, with a loss
of 40 killed and wounded, and then Gen
CANDY, commanding the department, took
a hand Bringing his long experience with
Indians to btAr he had previously advised
that force be dispensed with, new reser-

protect the Inlians from injustice and set

had been rendered the Indian bureau has}
set the army on the warpath with the re
suit as above stated, OF hunting the Modocs

force or diplomacy.

and punished The president stepped Il
and turned the matter ever 10 the peace
men, Candy being told to keep his troops
on the defensive. During February snd
March the peace commissioners tried then
hands and reported failure. One request
of Captain Jack was that the commits
sioners, with six unarmed mea, meet the
full Modoc band Late in March, the see
rotary of the interior asked that Gen
CANDY take sole charge of the negotiations

Mount Elias. There are plenty of extinct
volcanoes IN Europe, but the Mediterranean
produces the active vents; and about the
Red sea and the Caspian, and even In the
central chain of Asia, there are volcanoes
far from weter. The Hawaii isles, on the
other hand, are all volcanic, and Austral-
asia furnishes us with remarkable speci-
mems; so altogether the testimony tends to
prove that where volcanic remains are ap-
parent the sea had at one time been. or now

canoes at present in activity: Four in
Europe; eleven in Iceland and Jan Mayen's
land; in Asia, ninety-three; in Africa,
twenty -six; forty-six in North America and
the Aleutian isles; twenty-seven in Central
America and the Antilles; in South Amer

Volcanoes are openings or rents which
communicate with the melted rock within
the earth, and the conical form of volcanoes
is owing 70 the deposits of volcanic matter
Rs it falls from the opening called the
crater. The volcano builds It's own hill,
and inside the crater we find cones from
which smoke and steam issue. These cones
within the cone are the points of issue of
vapor and smoke, miniature volcanoes max
ing up a whole. The signs of eruption are
much the same, and usually occur a couple
of days before the actual outbreak. First
smoke appears, perhaps, and the escape Of

quakes bccur.
New volcanoes are continually in process
of formation and these violent efforts of
nature frequently give rise to earthquakes,
which are the most destructive of natural
commissions. The slow subsistence and
gradual upheaval of the land is still going
on, but we are frequently startled by the
account of rupture of the ground or the
destruction of portion Of a city.

The motion of the earthquake is gener-
ally in a direct line, and undulating.
Sometimes what are termed vertical
shocks arise and destroy solidly built edi-
fees. Mountains have been overturned by
earthquake shocks. and trees have been
twisted around. Sometimes the ground
yawns into enormous assures. The sea is
tossed into great waves and encroaches
upon the land, and when the sea recedes
the recession OF the water is followed by
more terrible invading wave sweeping all
before it. Earth trembings often occur
far away from volcanoes. and without any

VOLCANOES 4rD EARTHQUAKES.

Facts in Relation to These Violent Efforts

The majority of the volcanoes are found
near, or at least at no very great distance
from, the sea, though volcanoes of later
ages are limited to regions very different
from those in which volcanic action used
TO be. For instance, in America we have
pnly volcanoes on the Pacific side, and the
Andes furnish several Mexico. Central
America and California possess many VOL

Madame Can Now Sob.

"sobbing stays" or corsets "a
sanglots, are a French addition to a
morning outfit noted in the Cincinnati
Commercial Gazette. With his knowl-
edge OF the niceties OF his profession,
the French dressmaker understands
that when woman sobs unrestrain-
edly her frame undergoes certain
physical convolutions that might be
detrimental to her toilet if stiff, I'M
yielding stays were her support. To
permit, therefore, madame's grief to
expand itself naturally and still pro-
tect her costume from any danger re.
sulting therefrom, these stays are pro-
vided. A triangle of elastic is set in
at each side, which ''gives' with every
violent outburst Of grief, and no harm
is done. The art OF the French man
milliner approaches sublimity.

Preserving Flowers and Ferns.


Take very fine sand, wash it per-
fectly clean, and when dry sift it
through q fine sieve into pan.
When the sand is deep enough to
hold the flowers in an upright posi-
ton, take some more sifted sand and
carefully cover them. A spoon is q
good thing to take for this, as it fills
in every chink and Granny without
breaking or bending the leaves. When
the pan is filled solidly, leave the
flowers to dry for several days. It is
a good plan to warm the sand in the
oven before using it, as the flowers
will then dry more thoroughly. In
taking the sand off, great care must
be taken not to break the leaves, az
they are now dry and brittle. Pansies
preserved in this way will keep their
shape and brilliancy of color all win
ter; and many other flowers can be
equally successfully treated-any-
thing, in fact, where the full pressure
OF the sand comes on both sides of the
leaf; otherwise they will shrivel. To
fill in flowers with cup-like shapes it
is better to lay them on the sand
and with small spoon fill in around
each flower. Ferns when preserved in
this way have a more natural look
than when pressed, and the maiden
hair fern looks almost as we'll aswhen
it is freshly gath-red.-New York
Tribune.
