Toxic journals report that the volcano
Shiranesan, which rises from the shores
of Lake Chuzenji, near Nikko, broke
out in eruption early on Dec. 5. 1t
was observed by the local people on the
evening of the 9Th that the water of the
streams which have their sources near
the mountain was much discolored and
gave forth an unpleasant smell. About
midnight the sound of thunder peals
was heard to a distance of seven ri from
the volcano, the noises continuing during
the whole night. The Waterman at the
hot springs at foot of the mountain was
so alarmed by the phenomenon that he
fed to the nearest hamlet, where he re-
ported that the springs were throwing
up jets of muddy water to a height of
several feet. Twenty-four hours after
ward the country folks became aware
that the mountain was in active erup-
ton, throwing out fire and ashes, the
latter OF which spread over the country
to considerable extent, reaching as far
as Imaichi. The eruption took place
from the crater formed in June, 1879,
when the volcano became active for a
time.
Shiranesan was in eruption in June,
1872. The height is about $500 feet. The
crater is irregular, and contains depres-
sions filled with water. Atthe north end
there is pond of remarkable green
color.
At Kumamoto, the scene of the recent
disastrous earthquake, while well digger
was excavating for water at depth of
about eighteen fathoms, the base fell
through, and he was only saved from a
descent, how far is not known, by rope
which connected him with the top of the
pit. Examination has shown that very
large cavity, depth and width unknown,
exists, and this was probably caused by
a recent earthquake. The people of Ku-
mamoto are vertically living on a crust.
About midnight on Dec. the inhabit-
ants of Miyasaki-ken were alarmed by
rumbling noises preceding from the sea
and mountain in the direction of the
southwest. Inquiries ELECTED the fact that
the rumbling was caused by an eruption
of Mount Kirishima No damage was
caused by the fire, ETC., emitted from the
mountain.-San Francisco Chronicle.

Female sunPrage Observation-Disclosures

Perhaps the most advanced idea with re-
gard to female suffrage which has ever ap-
peared in print was recently published in
The Jewish Tidings. The correspondent
magnanimously agrees with the generally
accepted theory that zone vote is enough
for family" but naively adds, land let
the woman have it," His theory is that
Large hearted women, with a knowledge
of the world and their own sex, must form
asociety for the protection of men, and use
their best endeavors to influence public
opinion in hedirection of making men safe
from the attacks and Vaccinations of In
scrupulous and designing females"

Mild Winters.

The continued mildness of the winter
has already produced one crop of the
most natural character-that is to say,
of precedents A continental collector
goes back so far as the year 1924, when
the orchards blossomed in the month of
March, and the vineyards in April; to
1888, when the flower gardens were full
of bloom in January; and to 1886, when
the corn was in the ear at Easter In the
next century we have 1869 without frost
or snow anywhere, and in 1899 a German
winter during which the stoves remained
unlighted. Following these, 1907 carries
us on in the chronicles of especial mild.
ness till we come into living memory
with 1882 and 1866 as the dates of years
without winters. Whether the record is
likely to be of any use to Zadkiel or old
Moore in the department of political
meteorology is questionable, though the
three last named years were certainly
critical in their way, as denoting respect
lively the union of England and Scotland,
the reform bill and the birth Of the Prus.
sian supremacy
But it is noticeable that several of the
years in the list were closely connected
in date with winters of exception al
severity. The mildness of 1924 was
compensated by the historic frost of the
next winter but one, and persons who
saw the gardens gay in January had tc
cut their wine with hatchets before they
were much older The sleeveless winter
of 1892 Immediately followed that OF
1891, when the wolves, driven by the
cold, invaded the streets of Vienna in
search of food; and 1907 was followed
two years later by frost of three months
long. OF course, but little regularity is
observable about the comparison; and
long intervals have frequently passed be.

Took Him for a Tree.

Not very long ago the keeper of the
wild cattle at Chillingham escaped being
injured by them in a way which shows
how much may be accomplished by
presence of mind. They were being fed,
and he in some way had got between
them and the hills, when, something
having alarmed them, they made one
of the mad rushes in which, like High
land cattle, they often indulge. He gave
himself up for lost, as he was in the open
ground where the two contingents had
TO meet as they came flying round the
paddock. Partly because he was Scots
man, and resolved to die with "his face
to the foe" but still more because he
knew flight to be certain death, he folded
his arms, drew himself up to his full
height, and stood perfectly motionlesS
He says himself that he expected to be
killed, but the cattle, perhaps installing
him in the dusk for a tree stump or a
gate post-to which his gaunt figure
bears no slight resemblance-swerv as
they approached and scampered past
without touching him. Montreal Star

Andrew Carnegie stands next to the two
above mentioned, and all the rest of the
multimillionaires are a long, long way be-
hind.
1t is a matter of dispute whether Jay
Gould or Mr. Rockefeller is the richest
American, but the latter is certainly worth
$120, 900, and some estimates double
that. He has recently added $1,000, 600 to
his contribution to the Chicago university,
making his total gift thereto $2,6000OO.
Yet it seems but little while ago that he
was running a modest produce store in
Cleveland and just beginning to 'dabble
in OIL" In 1865 he was joined by Samuel
Andrews and Henry M. Flagler in a move
ment to unite all the oil companies under
one general management, and the Standard
Oil company, with capital of $90,000000,.
is the result. The world is familiar with
the way pipe lines were laid and railway
companies brought to terms till the name
of that company became synonym for re-
sistless corporate power.
Personally Mr. Rockefeller is the most
modest of millionaires, devoted to BUSH
ness, home life and the Baptist church, OF
which last he is very ardent supporter.
He lives in very unpretentious house on
West Fifty-fourth street, New York, and
has a fine summer residence near Green
witch, on the sound. His wife and three
daughters are quite reserved and home
like. The Oldest daughter is the wife of
Charles, son of Rev. DR.. Strong, Baptist
clergyman, and the rest of the family are
very rarely absent on Sunday from the pew
in DIR. Armitage's church.
The business of the family consists
chiefly in examining and deciding upon
applications for charity. The daughters
decide all ordinary cases, while those re-
quiring more thought are referred to the
father and the letters placed on file. The
mass of appealing mail matter is described.
as enormous. John and his scarcely less fa-
nous brother, William, were born in Cleve-
land and John is now fifty-two years old,
8 feet 10 inches high and weighs about 40
pounds. The estimate of his wealth given
above is the most conservative but many
who claim to know say he is worth at least
$200,000000, and therefore $40, 600, 600 ahead
of Jay Gould.

AN IMPRESSION.

A cypress dark against the blue,
That deepens up to such hue
As never painter dared and drew;
A marble shaft that stands alone
Above a wreck of sculptured stone
With gray green aloes overgrown;
A hillside scored with hollow veins
Through age long wash Of summer rains
AS purple as with vintage stains;
And rocks that while the hours run
Show all the jewels, one by one,
For pastime Of the summer sun;
A crescent sail upon the sea
So calm and fair and ripple free
You wonder storms can ever be;
A shore with deep indented bays,
And DER the cleaning waterways
A glimpse Of islands in the haze;
A face bronzed dark TO red and gold
With mountain eyes that seem to hold
The freshness Of the world of old;
A shepherds crook, a coat of fleece,
A grazing floc6-the sense of peace,
The long sweet silence-this is Greece!

Proving Their Sanity.

According to a somewhat dubious ira
dition, the Greek dramatist, Sophocles.
at the age of 80, was accused of imbe-
cility by his son Jophon. He rebutted
the calumny by reciting before his
judges, the Phratores, the magnificent
passage in his tragedy of Rdious Colo
neus, which describes the arrival of
Gdipus in the sacred forest of Colonna.
Having thus indicated his genius, he
retired amid applause. In the Seven

great explorer in the newspapers will at
once recognize the name of Jephson, who
was one of his most trusted lieutenants on,
the last expedition. Jephson has been
with Emin Pasha for a long time, and in
his recent lectures he has said that central
Africa has a great future before it, and
that its development is only matter of
time. Tobacco of a very fine quality grows
almost everywhere. Cotton, however, he
thinks, will be the staple crop. Emin has
already cultivated considerable quantities
of it successfully. Mr.. Jephson expects

of cloth from the coast to the lake is five
times as great as the original cost of the

Mono County's Remarkable Cave.

Sam Tyack, the enterprising lessee OF
the syndicate, broke into a natural cave
in the mine few days ago, about 200
feet from the surface, and discovered
many things of interest to the student of
archaeology. The miners were putting
in hole, when the drill suddenly disap-
peared, much to their establishment. A
couple of holes of less depth were then
drilled and fired, which made an aper-
ture through which the men entered a
chamber, about forty feet square and
quite as high, the sides and roof of
which were chalcedony bulged out in all
sorts of grotesque and fantastic shapes.
Sammy entered first, and, swinging his
candle around, caught sight of a score OF
objects that startled HIM Come in,
boysp he exclaimed. Here's a bloody
anatomical museum.
They crawled in and participated in
SANS establishment, for which there was
ample cause, as the interior of the cave
flashed with the iridescence of a million
colored gems. 1t seems-so Sam says
as if the glittering stars in the armament
had come down to hold high carnival
and flash themselves through lenses of
variegated hues.
Exploring further, they found still
more cause for wonder. Petrifactions
of animals, birds and reptiles abounded
There were great owls and monstrous
bats, and several snakes as hideous as il
endowed with life, as they were many,
many ages ago before Bodie Bluff was
created, and when the present site of
Mono's metropolis was closely dotted
with the vents of thermal springs, from
the accretions of which millions of dol
lars in bullion nave been given to the
commercial world. Mr.. Tyack has re-

perfect form. intending to forward them

restaurant buys all the food which he
orders, and that the sale is complete

carry it away, just as he pleases. The
chief justice, believing that good man
