A storm of Ashes.

The captain of the steamer st. Paul
tells of remarkable storm of volcanic
ashes through which his ship passed on
her last trip from San Francisco to AL
aslxa. He says that at ten o'clock in the
morning the vessel entered into a dense
black cloud from which it did not emerge
until two in the afternoon. From thc
speed of the ship and the velocity Of he
dust storm he thinks the volcanic cloud
was probably a hundred miles long.
Showers of fine volcanic dust fell upon
the. deck to the depth of several inches.
At noon it was SO dark that lamps had
to be lighted, and the suns hine was
pale as moonlight The nearest active
volcano was in>the Pablof mountains
two hundred and sixy-five miles away.
The officers thought the ashes came
freq some volcanic disturbance nearer
the vessel, and 1t has been suggested
that perhaps new island has arisen
from the see somewhere. as volcanic
islands have emergsd in Alaskan waters
quite recently.

eight years at the Zoo. This is the

Amazing Popular Ignorance In This Coun-
try About tho South Americans.
II Is amazing how little we as peo-
pie know of the history aud of the af--
fairs of our nearest neighbors, says the
New England Magazine. With the
events of the old world we are tolerably
familiar from the tine the serpent en-
tered Eden to the latest eviction of an
Irish tenant or the latest scandal on
the Riviera, but cloud of ignorance
has hung over the southern half of this
hemisphere, and until recently we have
known but little of the progress or con-
dition, of fifty million of people, whose
aspirations have been similar to our
own and whose advancement in civili-
zation and commercial prosperity has
been their pride and their glory. A
justice of the supreme court once asked
me what language was spoken in Chill,
and a United States senator in a public
address alluded to Guatemala as a cour-
try of South America. Until recently
the books used in our schools had not
been corrected for more than quarter
of century. The same wild horses
that roamed, with flowing names and
foaming uostrils, over the parlpaS of
the Argentine republic when our fa-
theirs studied geography still embel
lished the textbooks, notwithstanding
the fact that they disappeared long be-
fore the buffalo of Kansas, and the IA
miliar pictures of ''The Bellies of Lima"
that ornanented the picture books of
the last generation still remained to
misrepresent a people that received
their fashions from Paris quite as soon
and quite as anxiously as the women of
Boston or New York. The citizens of
Central and South America have been
properly sensitive to our ignorance and
indifference, but they have treated us
with federation and forbearance that
ought to make US ashamed, and now
that our attention has been diverted in
their direction by self-interest they re-
ceive us with cordiality and hospital
ity that demands grateful acknowl-
edgment.

Calisornin's WONDERFUL Plant Life ls Least
Appreciated Right at Home.
California astonished the botanical
world long before It began to play much
OF part In politics or br sfness, says the
Century. Nee, the botanist, was ut San
Diego and Monterey hundred years
ago, and his collections are still to be
seen at Madrid. DR.. Menzies, whose
portfolios are partly at Kew, partly at
the British museum, spent several sea-
sons on the coast few years after Nee
David Douglas, one Of the most devoted
and successful Of botanical explorers,

Of them were more typical Investigators
than the late DR.. G. G. Perry, who first
crossed the country with the Mexican
boundary commission. At intervals,
for forty years after, he was familiar

region, and SO universal was the in

plants of the Pacific coast, that many
trees of sequoias and other superb

Europe, were surprised to find how
popular were the brilliant ANIMALS,

Lofty Lakes.

The most loftily situated lakes are
found among the Himalaya mountains
in Thibet. Their attitudes do not; how
ever, seem to have been very accurately
gauged, for different authorities give
widely different figures regarding
them. According to some, Lake Man
asarovara, one of the sacred lakes of
Thibet, is between 10000 and 20, 900 feet
above the level of the sea, and if this is
SO it is undoubtedly the lcftiest lake in
the world. Two other Thibetan lakes,
those of Chalamoo and Surakol, are
stated to be 1900 and i5, 400 feet in
altitude respectively. For long time
it was supposed that Lake Titicaca, in
South America, was the loftiest in the
world. 1t covers about 4,500 square
miles, is 924 feet in its greatest depth
