Tourists who visit Batavia, south of the

of Lampong, on the Sumatra side of the
channel, they are likely to land on the low
shores occupied by the village of Telokh-

the interior; and when they have gone
about two miles they will pause to take in
the curious scene presented in the picture
accompanying this article; for here is seen
one OF the most interesting results still visi-
BILE of the great wave of Krakatau.
There was just one man amid all that wild
scene of death and devastation who was not
overwhelmed in the common ruin. He
escaped, while 10000 perished. He was
the Lighthouse keeper who lived alone on
an isolated rock in the strait. 1t was broad
daylight when Krakatau burst asunder, but
in few moments the heavens were so
densely shrouded by dust, dirt and smoke
that the darkness of midnight covered all

donor?" The kindly spirit that prompted
the planting is superior to the mere growth
or fruits of the soil, even as the artistic de-
sign of the potter's fertile mind is of finer
material than the clay which he molds In
his hands and forms on his wheel.
The far-reachipg influence and wide
spreading results of one mans teaching and
example, in this general matter of arbori-
culture, are remarkably shown in the life
and by the genius of John Evelyn, ESQ.,,
the diarist and author of s'Silva, or Dis
course on Forest Trees, and the Propaga-

CAUSES OF TYPHOID FEVER.
A Scientist Cites tho Case Of the -Southside,
Pittsburg, In 1887.

A Scientist Cites the Case Of the -southside,
PittsburE, In 1887.
Cholera and typhoid fever are typical
filth diseases that are communicated through
air. food and water, and their origin is
generally the result of ignorance, careless
ness or superstition. says Floyd Davis, a
Weste m chemist in the Engineering Aaga-
sins In the fall of 1887 typhoid fever was
epidemic in Ottawa, Minneapolis, Pitts
burg and many other American cities, and
in every case known to us the disease was
traced to polluted water. In Pittsburg the
Southside of the city was furnished water
from the Monongahela river, and the fever
was located in this district. Through
chemical and biological examinations of the
water the pollution was traced many miles
above the city to ravine into which drained
the privies of several houses where typhoid
fever patients had been located several
weeks before.
A similar but more noted case than the
above occurred in the little mining town Of
Plymouth, Pa, few years ago, in which
about 1900 of the 1000 inhabitants came
down with this disease. Investigation
showed that sporadic case of typhoid
fever had occurred several miles above the
town and that the e1cretions of the patient
were thrown into the stream that formed
the water supply of Plymouth.

which says: "Living in an age Of extyaor-
dinary events and revolutions, he learned
from these this truth, which he desired
might be thus communicated to posteritv:
That all is vanity which is not honest; and
that there is no solid wisdom but in real
piety."
Tho Communion With Nature.
If not of this gentle spirit, of whom could
it be more fttingly said that "The beauty
of nature shines in his own breast?" In
deed, there is usually something in the
love of trees and nature which seems to
exert a refining influence upon the human
heart. This is we'll illustrated in the lives
of Gilbert White, of Selbourne. Izaak Wal
ton, the anglers saint, and of Thoreau, our
American poet-naturalist.
Perhaps the most interesting of American
books upon our native trees, for the general
reader, is G. B. Emerson's "Trees and
Shrubs of Massachusetts," in two 8vo il
Illustrated volumes, published by Little,
Brown q Co., of Boston. But the most
complete and exhaustive work upon Amer
lean trees is one now in course of pub
lication by Houghton, Mif1in g. Co.,
of New York and Boston. It is
Prot. Charles S. Sargents' Silva of North
America, and is to be complete in II parts
at $25 a part, several of which are now
issued. Of this grand work the New York
Sun has remarked: "Every library which
aspires to exhibit the state of knowledge
respecting the Western Hemisphere must
include this indispensable book among its
treasures" It will interest local readers to
know that the Carnegie Library at Allie
gheny has subscribed for this noteworthy
publication.
Tree Through Porch.
The citizens of Pennsylvania, from the
sylvan character of its name and domain,
should take an especial pride in practicing
the science OF arboriculture and in observ-

of forestry, of governmental reports upon
the condition and value of our forests, of
papers, and societies, and treatises devoted
to the preservation and propagation of our
wealth of timber lands, estimated by the
tenth census to embrace an area, exclusive
of Alaska, equal to Is States the size Of
Pennsylvania, and of proclamations of the
different Governors formally setting aside
arbor days to be appropriately observed by
the people, it is no unreasonable to suppose,
or too sanguine to believe. that the import
ance of this subject of arboriculture il be-
coming more generally apparent and moro
practically recognized than ever before.
A tree doesn't grow in day. Foresight
and perhaps q generous self-renunciation
must have borne their fruits within the hu-
man breast before the life Of the tree has
had time to respond with the fruits of its
development, whether they be Of shade, of
timber, of fruit, or of responsive beauty. If
ever the element Of time is of the essence of
a contract, as the lawyers say, 1t is so in the
case of the planting and reaping Of trees
Good Deed Its Own Reward.
And yet, here as elsewhere, there exists
that human demonstration of that divine
law Of compensation, by which good deed
done becomes its own greatest reward; very
much on the principle Of that inquiry of

as to "Whether is better, the gift or the

ing arbor days. The care which is some.
times exercised to preserve tree is dis
played in an accompanying illustration OF
an instance in the neighboring village of
Sheridan, where a sycamore a foot and a
half in diameter and twice the height OF the
house was saved even though it was neces-
sary in constructing the front porch to
build it around the tree. the trunk of which
pierces both the floor and roof
Two illustrations are given Of the big
trees hereabouts. They are made from
photographs taken especially for this arti-
Gle. One is large elm in the valley of
the CHARTERS creek, some two miles up
from its mouth and not tar below where the
Steubenvllle pike crosses. Some immense
elms and sycamores or buttonball trees line
the banks OF the CHARTERS near its mouth.
A Tree Prominent in Local History.
The elm two miles up is noted among. the
Oldest settlers of the surrounding section
as one OF the earliest ''corner" or 'line"
trees of the original surveys It has been q
prominent landmark in local history as far
back as the lingering traditions run. Since
the writer photographed it last summer it
has been destroyed. The oil on Charters
creek took fire and burned q line Of trees
bordering the stream at that point, includ-
ing neighboring house and this grand old
historic elm. It was about II feet in cir
conference, and its age must have been
very great. Only the remnants of the
burnt stump and the hole in the ground
once occupied by its roots. along which the.
consuming fire ate its way, remain.
But the largest one of all is shown in the
view of giant sycamore on the West Vir-
ginia side Of the Ohio river, opposite the
lower part of Steubenville. The young
ladies' of the Steubenville Female Seminary
tied their handkerchiefs around its massive
trunk and thus made the measurement of its
circumference (Which must have been fair
one), 20 feet and Z inches.
1t such trees as these could talk, as the
ancients maintained they could, it would be
no idle fancy for us to believe-did we but
listen sufficiently close-that they would
say:
speak not thy speech my boughs among:
fut on thy years, wash in the breeze;
MY hours are peaceful centuries.

the terrible commotion. He felt the trem-
bling of his Lighthouse, but it was so dark
that he could not see the threatened danger.
He did not know that a tremendous wave
had almost overwhelmed the lighthouse,
and that its crest had nearly touched the
base of the lantern. He did not hear it be-
cause he was deafened by the awful detona-
tion of Krakatau.
In a few moments, however, the wave,
over 100 feet in height, had swept along
total coast line of nearly 100 miles on both
sides of the channel. Scores of populous
villages were buried deep beneath the avail
anche of water. Great groves of cocoanut
palms were leyeled to the ground. Pro-
montories were carried away. New bays
were dug out of the yielding littoraL Every
work of human hands, except that light
house, was destroyed, and 40, 900 persons
perished in the deluge that mounted from
the sea or beneath the rain of mud that
filled the heavens.
Fate OF Pleasure Steamer.
The picture shows little side-wheel
steamboat that was borne on the top of that
wave through forests and Jungle, over two
miles into the country, and was left as the
wave receded in the position here shown. 1t
will be remembered that for weeks before
was in state of eruption. Pleasure parties
were made up at Batavia to visit the vol
cano. Not few people landed on the isl
and, little dreaming that in the twinkling
of an eye two-thiris of it was to be blown
into the air as though shot from gun. They
wished to get as near as they thought they
might safely venture to the growing,
steaming crater.
This little steamboat, on the dav before
the explosion, carried one of the parties to
the island. There were only 20 on board
hours around the island, and then steamed
up the deep and narrow bay of Lampong,
and it is supposed they anchored for the
night in front of the big town of Telokh-
Betong, which was one of the largest settle
ments on the south coast of Sumatra.
Only Two Bodies in the Boat
The ill-fated pleasure party was never
heard Of again. 1t is supposed that the
boat was turned over and over like an egg
she'll in the surf. 1t had every appearance
of such rough usage when it was found some
months later. The machinery and furniture
were badly broken, and were strewn about
in the greatest confusion. But the vessel
held together, and was finally set down in
good shape, erect on her keel, as she is seen
in the picture which was made from draw
ing bv Mr.. Korthais, amember of the Dutch
Scientific party that was sent out to study
the effect of the Krakatau eruption.
Only two bodies were found in the vessel.
They were, of course, below deck. As it
was morning when she was picked up by
the wave, it is supposed that nearly every
body was on shore. Not q vestige remains
of the villages that lined the water edge.
But the hulk of this little boat still stands,
battered and broken, though as erect as when
she plowed the channel, and she is the most
curious and interesting relic of the greatest
volcanic eruption of modern times

said to have caused the planting of millions
OF oaks throughout Great Britain, and to
have efectually checked the impolitic waste

it is historically stated that the fleets Of
Nelson were largely constructed from these
self-same oaks. Born in 1920, Evelyn died in
